Published: August 2023

Drying kinetics of fruit has importance in estimating optimum nutritional retainability, preservation requisites and process economy while processing into useful products. Drying kinetics of pulp of local variety of Indian blackberry was studied in a cabinet dryer. The drying experiment was conducted at 50 ºC, 60 ºC and 70 ºC, and moisture losses were recorded at 30-min intervals. Drying took place in two falling rate periods. Shift of first to second falling rate period was found to be irrespective of temperature, and started from 1.08 g water.g−1 dry matter. The drying data of Indian blackberry pulp was fitted into five commonly used Newton, Page, Peleg, Henderson and Pabis, and Logarithmic thin layer drying models. The logarithmic model adequately described the drying of Indian blackberry pulp. The activation energy values in first and second falling rate periods were 42.20 kJ.mol−1 and 61.62 kJ.mol−1, respectively.

Authors: S. J. Kale  , S. K. Jha  , Prerna Nath
Published: August 2023

Pusa Basmati 1121 (PB1121) rice (longest milled grain in the world), raw and parboiled, was dehusked and milled at 6 different degrees of milling (DOM) varied from 5-10 per cent. Head rice yield decreased up to 10% with increased DOM in both raw and parboiled rice. However, parboiling increased the yield of marketable rice by 18.68 per cent. DOM significantly (α=0.05) affected cooking and textural qualities of raw and parboiled rice. Mineral composition of raw and parboiled rice indicated that P, K, Mg and S constituted the major portion, about 97% of the mineral composition of PB1121 rice. DOM adversely affected the mineral content of rice, but this effect was less severe in parboiled rice. Principal component analysis (PCA) performed for selected quality characteristics of PB1121 rice indicated that optimum DOM (%) for raw and parboiled PB1121 rice would be 7% and 8%, respectively.

Sensor-based automated irrigation scheduling reduces the water losses, and applies precise quantities of water as per the crop water requirements, thereby improving the water use efficiency of irrigation systems. An automatic irrigation system (AIS) comprising of controller (raspberry pi), dual probe conductance-based soil moisture sensors and liquid crystal display it should read as liquid crystal display (LCD) LCD screen was developed to automate sprinkler irrigation system. The controller of the system was programmed using python programming language to control the solenoid valve and the motor on the basis of field-sensed soil moisture data. Field capacity and 50 % depletion of available soil moisture content were set as the upper and lower limits of soil moisture for switching the motor to ‘OFF’ or ‘ON’ condition, respectively. The developed system was compared with manual sprinkler irrigation for cabbage as indicator crop. Over the crop growing season, the moisture content under AIS was in the range of 0-10 % of soil moisture, indicating better accuracy of the AIS in sensing the water content in the crop root zone. The total cost of the AIS for 1 ha area was ₹ 16,058/-. The benefit-cost ratio of AIS was higher (2.59) as against manual irrigation (2.16), for cabbage.

Published: August 2023

An on-farm experiment was conducted on farmers’ field in two villages of Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh to evaluate the effectiveness of mulched and non-mulched furrow irrigated raised bed(FIRB) system over farmers’ practice of check basin irrigation for brinjal crop. The system performance was assessed in terms of crop physiological parameters, water saving, yield, water productivity and cost of cultivation. Mulch significantly affected the physiological parameters of crop like plant height, number of branches, girth, root depth, leaf area and fruit weight. Results revealed that the water savings under furrow irrigated raised bed system without mulch (T2) and with mulch (T3) was 167.7 mm (31.2 %) and 237.0 mm (44.1 %), respectively, as compared to farmers’ practice (T1). Significantly higher brinjal yield (21.29 t.ha-1) was observed in T3, which was 26.7 % higher over T1. Higher yield and comparatively lesser application of irrigation water resulted in significantly high water productivity (88.49 kg.ha-mm-1) in T3 as compared to T1 (31.34 kg.ha-mm-1). The average benefit-cost ratio (BCR) for the treatments T1, T2, and T3 were 2.21, 2.58 and 2.62, respectively. Furrow irrigated raised bed cultivation of brinjal with black plastic mulch is recommended to the farmers of central Uttar Pradesh to achieve twin objectives of improved crop yields and increased water productivity.

Authors: Igiehon O.N. , Igbinomwanhia P. O.
Published: August 2023

Soil and water pollution caused by heavy metals can result in health challenges such as cancer. Therefore, this study was aimed at testing the ability of Aspergillus fumigatus and Rhizopus sp. isolated from cassava grinding mill environment to reduce, bio-accumulate and tolerate Cr (VI) in Norkran’s medium. Fungal isolates were obtained from soil samples using 2 % malt extract agar. Cr (VI) reduction potential of the fungal cells was done using shake flask method. The tolerance of fungal isolates to the different concentrations of Cr (VI) used for the bio-sorption experiment was determined by collecting 1 ml of Norkran’s sample from each experimental flask on days 0, 5, 10 and 20 followed by inoculation in 2 % malt extract agar plates. The ability of fungal isolates to adapt to increasing Cr (VI) concentrations was ascertained by inoculating mycelial ball on 2 % malt extract agar amended with 16.1 mg/L of Cr (VI). There were reductions of Cr (VI) for all the treatments amended with A. fumigatus and Rhizopus sp. at 16.1, 8.1, 4.0 and 2.0 mg/L concentrations of Cr (VI) while 50 % decrease in Cr (VI) concentrations was observed for treatments inoculated with Rhizopus sp. on days 20, 10 and 5 at concentrations of 8.1, 4.0 and 2.0 mg/L respectively. The amounts of Cr (VI) observed at a concentration of 16.1 mg/L on day 20 for treatments inoculated with Rhizopus sp. were observed to be significantly less than (P<0.05) those of A. fumigatus. The fungal tolerance assay demonstrated increase in fungal abundance throughout the experimental period for all the treatments indicating that the different concentrations of Cr (VI) used were not toxic to the fungal species. Induce-tolerance assay suggested that Cr (VI) was able to induce metal tolerance potential in these fungal species. Findings from this investigation revealed that these fungi can be further explored biotechnologically to clean-up chromium contaminated environment

Published: August 2023

Health is an essential aspect of life. The World Health Organization (WHO) has officially declared the Corona Virus (Covid-19) a global pandemic that has spread to Indonesia. For preventive measures against Covid-19, the Indonesian government is trying to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic with 3M health protocol aimed at community activities, such as Memakai Masker (wearing masks), Mencuci Tangan (washing hands), and Menjaga Jarak (maintaining distance). In this study, software and hardware design was carried out to detect mask users and immediately warn violators who do not use masks automatically and can function automatically offline by utilizing digital image processing using NVIDIA Jetson Nano using the YOLO (You Only Look Once) method. The CNN YOLOv4-tiny model is chosen to obtain measurement results for mask user detection accuracy because it has a relatively minor computational value and is faster. The best camera detection angle is obtained at a vulnerable angle of 45O-90O or in the range of 90O-135O with value confidence that the average is 99.94% and the best accuracy is at a lux value greater than 70, and a minimum camera height of 1 meter and a maximum of 3 meters. Under conditions of lux 96 (bright), the maximum distance for detecting a face object is 12 meters, and the ability of the system to output a warning sound has been successfully integrated with a relay to run the mp3 module separately from the system, so as not to interfere with the Jetson Nano computation process and the model is successfully run on the Jetson Nano with an average computation of 13 frames per second.
Effect of fuzzy logic controller on voltage stability of parallel boost converter configuration
Authors: Kusmantoro Adhi , Hiyama Takashi
Published: August 2023

An increase in electricity load causes a change in grid voltage and current, causing losses to customers. In addition, the source of electricity from fossil energy has also decreased. Therefore this study aims to provide a stable DC voltage source from solar panels, with a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC). The proposed method is to design a boost converter in parallel with its output. The boost converter is used to increase the DC voltage from 24 V to 48 V. In this study, FLC is used to adjust the output voltage of each boost converter. This is so that if one of the boost converters fluctuates, the other boost converters will supply a voltage according to the load voltage. The results showed that the FLC can adjust the boost converter output voltage changes. Whereas when using the PI (Integral Proportional) controller, a voltage spike occurs in the range of 0 seconds to 0.6 seconds and the voltage stabilizes within 0.6 seconds to 1 second.
Reform of Retakaful Industry
Authors: Alshammari Ahmad , Altwijry Othman
Published: August 2023

One of the fundamentals in the risk management system for a takaful company is that it needs to cede its risks to the second level of risk carriers (retakaful companies). At the same time, being a sharī‘ah-compliant company, the expectation is that its operational chain is in line with Islamic rules and principles. However, due to limitations on the maturity of the retakaful market, sharī‘ah scholars have used the precept of necessity (ḍarūrah) in the use of conventional reinsurance. The permissibility of using conventional reinsurance has been adopted for decades, going back to the establishment of takaful. However, this practice has, to a certain extent, weakened the perception of the sharī‘ah compliance aspect of takaful. This article aims to enhance the arrangement of the takaful industry practices in relation to the fatwā on the permissibly of using conventional reinsurance based on the precept of ḍarūrah. It has employed a qualitative method, in the form of semi-structured interviews, to explore the views of six sharī‘ah scholars on whether the concept of ḍarūrah is still applicable. It is found that the majority of scholars, i.e., five, were not provided information or analysis that could have facilitated them in assessing and making the informed decision on the applicability of the precept of ḍarūrah in the use of conventional reinsurance. There is a consensus among the scholars on the given proposals to enhance the current practices of the market and boost the retakaful market. This study introduces new perspectives pertinent to review the retakaful industry’s legitimacy.

Dispelling Revisionist Myths Regarding Spectrum Property Rights in the 1920s
Authors: Jackson Charles L.
Published: August 2023

Failures to understand the constraints and incentives facing decisionmakers have resulted in the creation of the myth that property rights and spectrum markets would have been superior to the regulatory system of the Radio Act of 1927. Discussions of hypothetical spectrum property rights in the 1920s fail to take account of (1) the vast differences between the radio propagation conditions in the radio spectrum in use then and propagation in the bulk of the radio spectrum today and (2) the technical limitations of equipment at that time. The author concludes that spectrum property rights would have resulted in more radio service in urban areas, a substantial loss of rural service, and diminished consumer welfare.
Milton after Auschwitz
Authors: Magarik Raphael
Published: August 2023

In the twentieth century, John Milton has often been described as, if not a Jew, at least a Jewish non-Jew. This essay proposes to reverse the ordinary procedure and ask not what in Milton’s life or work might connect him to Judaism, but what in the twentieth century newly drove his readers to imagine him as Jewish. As case studies, the article’s author takes two writers, Raphael Judah Zwi Werblowsky and Allen Grossman, who separately connect Milton to the Holocaust. In both cases, this essay argues, to Judaize Milton is not to place but to estrange him, to name his poetry’s alienated modernity; its beginning after the social bonds of nation, king, and sacrament have dissolved; and its power to displace readers and open them to a similarly illuminating exile.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: Oral and maxillofacial surgeons often encounter foreign bodies, but they rarely find orthodontic appliances embedded in the soft tissue.

Case Report: Herein, a woman in her twenties was lacerated in the right buccal mucosa when the orthodontist cut the distal end of an archwire with end-cutting pliers. Although she was asymptomatic after healing, she reported discomfort where the wound had existed. Computed tomography images showed a high-density area beneath the right buccal mucosa, and she was referred to our department. We diagnosed an archwire fragment embedded in the buccal mucosa and successfully removed it using computed tomography images and without additional use of fluoroscopy or a navigation system.

Conclusion: Orthodontists should carefully consider other penetrative risks of orthodontic appliances. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are often required to resolve these accidental events based on an adequate understanding of the clinical situation
Menstrual Health: How Aware and healthy young girls are?
Authors: Priyanka Sharma
Published: August 2023

Background: Menstruation is a normal physiological process occurring every month throughout the reproductive age of females. Menstruation is still considered as something shameful and young girls face self-imposed and external restrictions during mensural cycle. The school going girls still lack knowledge regarding menstruation, menstrual hygiene, reproduction, and dietary knowledge as well. The objective of this study is to see the awareness level regarding menstruation amongst adolescent girls of Jammu region. An attempt is also made to find the association between knowledge regarding menstruation and depression level amongst urban and rural adolescent girls of Jammu. Method: The study was conducted in four schools in which 106 girls participated. Girls were to complete questionnaire concerning demographic characteristics, menstruation practices detailing, depression, anxiety and stress scale consisting of 21 questions (DASS-21). Girls voluntarily agreed to answer questionnaire under the supervision of researcher. The data was then analyzed and conclusions were drawn regarding mensural practices amongst the girls. Results: Mean age of the sampled girls was 10.6 years. Mean age at menarche was 7.6 years. 53.77% girls did not have adequate knowledge about menstruation and for 71.69% girls first informant about menstruation was the mother. 75.47 % girls did not have adequate knowledge about the menstrual hygiene. 57.55% girls felt that pain during menstruation.34.90 % girls were reported missing school during menstruation. About 58.49% of the subjects had stress, 77.36% had depression and 78.30% had anxiety during mensural cycle. Conclusion: The knowledge regarding menstruation was found to be inadequate among majority of the adolescent girls, however whatever knowledge girls had about mensuration their major source was mothers. Over 80% girls are disposing of sanitary napkins in dustbin or open which may turn out to be hazardous. Menstruation also contributes to absenteeism among school girls in Jammu region. Girls are missing school because of poor product supply, water and sanitation facilities and a lack of pain management. Strengthening of MHM programme in Jammu is needed. Education on awareness, access to hygienic absorbent and disposal of MHM items need to be addressed.

Published: August 2023

Releasing students on leaving school times is a process that requires full attention. In some kindergarten schools, private or public, it is possible to find a specific professional to carry out this mission, however, it is not uncommon to see teachers or even other servers performing this service. Regardless of who is responsible, releasing a student to an unauthorized person or even a stranger represents a terrible security breach for educational institutions. This error can generate trauma and sequelae for the life of the student and their family members. Thus, this work presents a system to help kindergarten schools in the task of controlling students when they leave school. For system validation, we consider the implementation of a prototype integrated with RFID and biometrics (fingerprint) technologies. Three scenarios were considered in order to demonstrate the functioning of the system. The results show that it is possible to control the release of students when they leave school, simplifying the future implementation of integrated security protocols in a teaching unit.
A Review of Emotions, Behavior and Cognition
Authors: Ali Kabir
Published: August 2023

The American Psychological Association defines "any transient emotional state, typically characterized by moderate intensity." Moods are differentiated from emotions by their non-provocative nature and their potential to emerge spontaneously. Anger can be triggered by various factors; such as insults or even arise without any discernible cause. The complete definition of emotions remains elusive. The investigation of our emotional constitution remains a subject of considerable scholarly interest, as numerous academics propose divergent theories to account for this phenomenon. However, there exists a significant amount of data to analyze when examining the topic. There has been a growing interest within the field of neuroscience regarding the neurological foundations of human emotion, which has been largely driven by advancements in functional neuroimaging techniques. The investigation into the interplay between emotions and other cognitive processes in the brain, such as attention, memory, and reasoning, is gaining increasing significance. The primary focus of this article pertains to the psychological consequences and strategies employed for regulating cognitive processes associated with emotions.

Authors: Ali Samer Khalid , Al-Akkam Entidhar Jasim
Published: August 2023

Background: Bilosomes are vesicular nanocarriers that contain bile salts, making them more flexible and resistant to degradation in the gastrointestinal tract. Objective: To evaluate the effect of two bile salts on the physical properties and stability of the ropinirole-loading bilosome. Methods: Sixteen bilosomal formulations were prepared by a reverse-phase evaporation method. Each formula includes a mixture of non-ionic surfactants (Span®60 and Tween®60), along with cholesterol and bile salts (either sodium taurocholate (STC) or sodium glycocholate (SGC). The characteristics of the bilosomal formulations (drug content, entrapment efficiency, vesicle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, in-vitro drug release, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) were evaluated. Results: The entrapment efficiency of ropinirole was reduced by using sodium glycocholate instead of sodium taurocholate. The vesicle size and zeta potential were also affected by the type of bile salt and its amount. Drug release profiles were sustained, indicating a good entrapment of ropinirole. The STC-containing bilosomes are more stable than the SGC-containing bilosomes. Bilosomal formula F5 showed the highest entrapment efficiency (64.82%), suitable vesicle size (179.8 nm), zeta potential (-9.162 mV), polydispersity index (0.5116), and in vitro drug release (62.33%) after 24 hr. Conclusion: Sodium taurocholate was more suitable for the preparation of ropinirole-loading bilosomes, with more stability of bilosomes in bile salt solution.

The purpose of the study was to determine the sustainability strategy of tilapia seed cultivation with a biofloc system followed by a SWOT matrix so that it was known whether this business could be continued with certain strategies that could be applied. The application of new technology in the form of biofloc technology has been tried in the process of tilapia seed cultivation in Jegu Village, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency, but it is also necessary to study whether the new technology can be implemented sustainably by analyzing it using the SWOT Matrix. This study uses a descriptive method by determining the location by purposive sampling with the consideration that the research site already uses a biofloc system. The results of the SWOT analysis show that the position of cultivators is in quadrant III Turn Around/Stability (Change Strategy) followed by a SWOT matrix based on IFAS (Internal Strategic Factor Analysis Summary) and EFAS (External Strategic Factor Analysis Summary) so that the right strategy is obtained is the WO Strategy namely taking advantage of existing opportunities by improving the internal weaknesses of Mina Ayu group members. So that what needs to be implemented: (1) Cultivators to be able to make maximum use of the capital provided by the capital providing institution, (2) Cultivators to be able to make alternative feeds as a substitute for pellet feed, (3) Cultivators to utilize natural resources that support optimally for increase the number of seeds produced, (4) Cultivators to look for alternative markets other than marketing in Lake Batur to guard against disturbances for cultivators in Lake Batur so as not to interfere with the distribution of the seeds produced, and (5) Cultivators to take advantage of local government policies which supports hatchery activities.
A Drone Strategy 2.0 for a Smart and Sustainable Unmanned Aircraft Eco-System in Europe
Authors: Scott Benjamyn I. , I. Andritsos Konstantinos
Published: August 2023

On 29 November 2022, the European Commission published its long-awaited ‘Drone Strategy 2.0 for a Smart and Sustainable Unmanned Aircraft Eco-System in Europe’. This document builds upon previous European Union (EU) initiatives such as the ‘An Aviation Strategy for Europe’, ‘European Green Deal’, ‘Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy - Putting European Transport on Track for the Future’ and the numerous European Union Aviation Safety Agency drone-related publications. The Drone Strategy 2.0 constitutes the Commission’s vision for developing the drone sector and provides the foundations for the next steps at the EU level to develop a thriving, viable drone ecosystem in the EU. This article gives a clear overview of the Strategy’s main goals, its strengths and weaknesses, and assesses whether it is sufficient. It presents the evolutionary path from the Drone Strategy 1.0 and Drones Leaders’ Group Report, to the Drone Strategy 2.0, with a parallel assessment of the challenges presented in these documents. The article argues the Strategy is a positive political initiative and that more efforts in the legal field should be taken for the goals set to be achieved. Finally, the article underlines the EU’s shift from an initial safety-based approach to geopolitical protectionism, which is evident throughout the Strategy and this shift’s significance for the future of drones in the EU.

What on earth does the emergence of a new species mean in a Sci-fi film?
Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, Kim sung bum
Published: August 2023

The disaster situations on Earth represented in sci-fi films since the 2000s are the result of the development of human scientific civilization, which is like the “law of causality” of physics. For example, putting aside climate change, viruses, resource depletion, energy shortages, and nuclear warfare, etc., the crisis situations that have occurred in space are also the result of human-related causes. Furthermore, contact with alien races is more for information exchange than for destructive purposes, as they are superior to humans. This is consistent with the idea that the exchange of information through contact with alien races is the only way to overcome the imminent and desperate crisis on Earth without the human race perishing. Humanity's advanced scientific and technological civilization is, after all, the underlying cause of the desperate crisis that has blown over all the earth, perhaps having now reached or already passed its critical point. After all, humanity has thus longed for an 'overman' beyond man as a solution to the extinction of species and the destruction of the Earth, and this has been represented in various ways in many sci-fi films since the 2000s. We call this 'overman' a 'new species' or 'new kind'. This paper attempts to clarify what is meant by this “new species”.

Application of an animal alternative test model to evaluate the effect of blocking for blue light: Focused focusing on the zebrafish mode
Authors:   Liberal Arts Innovation Center, Kim Bo Ae
Published: August 2023

Blue light has a wavelength of 400 to 500 nm and is widely recognized as a cause of harm to skin health in modern society where the use of electronic devices emitting blue light is common. In this study, an alternative animal model is introduced as a way to characterize the blue light blocking effect. Based on a theoretical background, blue light was irradiated to zebrafish from the embryo stage, and then the degree of melanin formation was observed to investigate the potential of the new research method. As a result, the blue light irradiation group showed a high pigmentation rate at 12 and 24 hpf. In the experimental group irradiated with fluorescent light, the pigmentation rate was 54% lower than that of the blue light irradiated group. The fluorescent light and negative control group, the light-shielded experimental group, had a lower melanin pigmentation rate than the fluorescent light and blue light irradiation groups. Whitening research using zebrafish has the advantage of simultaneously testing toxicity and whitening, making it a highly efficient evaluation method and thus highly likely to be used in the cosmetics industry as an in vivo experimental model that can replace existing animal experiments.
