The New Education Policy 2020: Addressing The Challenges Of Education In Modern India
Authors: Sethi Seema Rani
Published: May 2023

The National Educational Policy (NEP-2020) of India is the first education policy of the twenty-first century. Its challenge and goal are to make India a developed nation by advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4’s objectives to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030. With fair access to high-quality education for everyone, regardless of social or economic background, India believes that this new national education strategy, which will be implemented in 2020, may reach this aim by at least 2040. The new policy, NEP-2020, is anticipated to be an extensive revamp with less content but more problem-solving abilities, inventiveness, and multidisciplinary and holistic thinking for unity and integrity. Based on an overview of NEP-2020, we have identified and analysed potential generic methods for NEP-2020 implementation to achieve its goals using focus group talks. We have also evaluated the strengths and shortcomings of the policy in the higher education and research section. Along with enhancing educational quality, the new education strategy seeks to widen the purview of education in India. This study aims to identify weaknesses in the current educational system and recommend solutions.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL COUNSELING IN REDUCING ANGER LEVELS IN JUVENILE OFFENDERS
Authors: JABRI Fatima
Published: May 2023

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is based on the assumption that adaptive behavior and thoughts can be changed. Therefore, this study aims to analyze and examine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral counseling in enabling the juvenile delinquent to develop ways to deal with anger by providing them with the necessary skills to successfully handle various anger provoking situations. The study sample consisted of 20 male juveniles who were divided into two groups: • The experimental group consists of 10 individuals • The control group consists of 10 individuals First the anger scale was applied to the totality of the sample (20 juvenile delinquents) In the second phase a collective cognitive-behavioral program was implemented in the experimental sample group. In the third and final phase, the anger scale was again applied to the entire sample, i.e., the experimental and control group. The results found that there was a noticeable decrease in the anger levels in the experimental group compared to the control group which did not experience any change.
Does Air Pollution Cause Obesity? New Evidence from China
Authors: Zhang Guanglai , Lin Bin , Ren Yayun
Published: May 2023

The global obesity rate has risen at an alarming rate in recent decades, and “fatness” has become an increasingly serious public health problem. At the same time, the loss of working hours and increased medical costs caused by air pollution have a wide range of direct and indirect effects on the health of the population and the macroeconomy. Against this background, using data from the China Family Panel Survey (CFPS) and thermal inversion as instrumental variables, this study analyzes the effect of air pollution on the risk of obesity among residents. We employ a two-stage least squares method to identify the effects of air pollution on the risk of obesity. The findings indicate that for a 1 μg/m³ increase in the annual average PM2.5 concentration at the county level, the obesity level increases significantly by 0.0286. This result is credible after a series of robustness checks; male groups, less-educated groups, and rural residents are more sensitive to the negative effects of air pollution. Finally, policy suggestions are provided.

Portfolio Diversification and Financial Performance of Microfinance Institutions in Nairobi County, Kenya
Authors: Nyabiba Jully Kemunto , Kimani E. Maina
Published: May 2023

Purpose: The current study sought to establish the effect of portfolio diversification on financial performance of microfinance institutions in Kenya. The study focused on establishing the effects of asset class diversification, risk profiling diversification, income diversification and locational diversification on performance of microfinance institutions in Kenya. The study was supported by Shiftability Theory, Capital Market Theory, Resource Based Theory and Balanced Score Card Theory. 

Methodology: A descriptive research design was used and targeted 57 micro finance institutions operating in Nairobi County and registered under Association of Micro Finance Institutions. The unit of observation comprised of employees in top level management including chief financial officer, operational manager, and chief manager making a total of 171 respondents. The study employed a census approach. Both primary and secondary data were utilized in the study. Primary data was gathered using a five point Likert scale questionnaire while a secondary data collection sheet was utilized to collect secondary data from financial reports of the respective institutions. Both descriptive and inferential statistics was used to analyze the collected data. The statistics were generated through Statistical Package for Social Scientists and MS Excel.

Findings: The results were displayed in form of tables. The study established that portfolio diversification comprising of asset class, risk profiling, and income diversification positively and significantly affect financial performance of the MFIs operating in Nairobi County as shown by respective beta values of 0.318, 0.288 and 0.498 and significant values of 0.000, 0.005 and 0.000. This bears the implications that enhancing aspects of each of the portfolio diversification contributes to improved financial performance of the institutions. Locational diversification on the other had had a positive but insignificant effect on financial performance of the MFIs (beta=0.103, sig=0.000>0.05) which implies that enhancing aspects of locational diversification contributes insignificantly to financial performance of the MFIs.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study provided recommendations to the management of the MFIs to enhance the levels of asset class diversification, risk profiling diversification, and income diversification since the practices bears positive and significant effect on financial performances of the MFIs.

Purpose: This article provides a discussion on the Philosophy of Utuism and tries to relate the concepts with other philosophies. The main idea is to help in understanding in depth the interrelationships between the concepts which creates clear view and connections for better understanding of our theme of the study.

Methodology: The different philosophies discussed brings out the existing relationships and differences that outlays the actual meaning, existence and application of Utuism.

Findings: As has been demonstrated by the protagonists of the Bantu philosophy, every individual being as an important element in the web of “Beings”, should demonstrate an awareness of his connection to the other human beings and by natural fairness to other beings in the created order. The human person ought to do this in consciousness and express an active positive embracement with other humans, the human individual realizes his own reality as a force in the matrix of the entire reality that is active.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Whatever presented by the term Utuism first and foremost flows from the linguistic usage, relatedness to other closely ‘near-meaning’ is essential.
Effect of low-calorie diet on psoriasis severity index, triglycerides, liver enzymes, and quality of life in psoriatic patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Ismail Ali , Saad Ahmad , Draz Ramy
Published: May 2023

Introduction

Chronic-plaque psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory dermatological disease. Obesity comorbidities, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, are highly prevalent in patients with chronic-plaque psoriasis. Recently, weight loss has been a highly recommended intervention to improve the severity of psoriatic symptoms, psoriasis-induced chronic systemic inflammation, psoriasis-associated cardiovascular risk factors, quality of life, and the efficacy of anti-psoriatic drugs. This study was designed to assess the effect of a 12-week low-calorie-diet intervention on aspartate transaminase, psoriasis severity (assessed via Psoriasis Area and Severity Index – PASI), alanine transaminase, quality of life (assessed via Dermatology Life Quality Index – DLQI), triglycerides, waist circumference (WC), and body mass index (BMI) in class I obese men with chronic-plaque and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Material and methods

Sixty men with age ≥ 18 years with class I obesity and with chronic plaque psoriasis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were included in the study. All participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the first group as the low-calorie-diet group (30 men received immunosuppressive drugs, followed a low-calorie diet, and increased their energy expenditure through a daily 15,000-step outdoor walking program for 12 weeks) and the second as the control group
(30 men received immunosuppressive drugs only). The primary outcome consisted of the results of the area and severity index. Weight, BMI, WC, laboratory results such as triglycerides, liver enzymes (alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase) as well as DLQI were considered as secondary outcomes.

Results

While no significant improvements were achieved in the measured variables of the control group, the low-calorie-diet group demonstrated significant improvement in all the measured variables.

Conclusions

The results of the present study confirmed that 12-week low-calorie-diet intervention controls BMI, increases the response of psoriasis to pharmacological agents and improves the quality of life. Diet interventions significantly control the elevated hepatic enzymes (aspartate and alanine transaminases) and triglycerides in male patients with chronic-plaque psoriasis and non-alcoholic fatty liver dis-ease.

Exploring reasons Kenya television broadcasts Nollywood movies
Authors: Mwanthi Shadrach Moki , Kamau Sammuel
Published: May 2023

This paper sought to explore why Kenya television airs Nollywood movies. The study adopted a qualitative research method. It targeted Citizen and Kiss Televisions’ production managers, focus groups and Nigerian Movie fans. The households were selected randomly. The research consulted documentary sources on Nigerian movies in Kenya. This included gathering information from the internet, Newspapers and research was done by Synovate on Nigerian movie audiences. The obtained data were analysed using descriptive statistics such as mean, mode, percentages, and frequencies. The study concludes that given Nollywood’s great influence over African culture, such an effect is reinforced by the massive consumption of Nigerian movies by Kenyans and Africa as a whole. Many Nigerian video films are filled with religious overtones; therefore, many Africans see most Nigerian movies. These films portray values rooted in their countries of origin. Nigerian video films, as a representation of Nigerian culture, greatly influence an entire population of Africans due to similar cultural practices. The study recommends that Nigerian moviemakers emphasise African culture’s positive sides in their movies. This should be inclusive of marriage ceremonies, the bride prize, family dissolutions, the place of girl/boy child in the African context, African foods and so on. On the other hand, filmmakers should have fewer films on barbaric themes like witchcraft, human sacrifice, and blood thirst vampires. These kinds of movies portray Africa in a Negative way.

On the magnitude and sensitivity of the quasi-biennial oscillation response to a tropical volcanic eruption
Authors: Brown Flossie , Marshall Lauren , Haynes Peter H. , Garcia Rolando R. , Birner Thomas , Schmidt Anja
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Volcanic eruptions that inject sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere have
the potential to alter large-scale circulation patterns, such as the
quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), which can affect weather and transport of
chemical species. Here, we conduct simulations of tropical volcanic
eruptions using the UM-UKCA aerosol-climate model with an explicit
representation of the QBO. Eruptions emitting 60 Tg of SO2 (i.e. the magnitude of the 1815
Mt. Tambora eruption) and 15 Tg of SO2 (i.e. the magnitude of the 1991 Mt.
Pinatubo eruption) were initiated at the Equator during two
different QBO states. We show that tropical eruptions delay the progression
of the QBO phases, with the magnitude of the delay dependent on the initial
wind shear in the lower stratosphere and a much longer delay when the shear
is easterly than when it is westerly. The QBO response in our model is
driven by vertical advection of momentum by the stronger tropical upwelling
caused by heating due to the increased volcanic sulfate aerosol loading.
Direct aerosol-induced warming with subsequent thermal wind adjustment, as
proposed by previous studies, is found to only play a secondary role. This
interpretation of the response is supported by comparison with a simple
dynamical model. The dependence of the magnitude of the response on the
initial QBO state results from differences in the QBO secondary circulation.
In the easterly shear zone of the QBO, the vertical component of the
secondary circulation is upward and reinforces the anomalous upwelling
driven by volcanic aerosol heating, whereas in the westerly shear zone the
vertical component is downward and opposes the aerosol-induced upwelling. We
also find a change in the latitudinal structure of the QBO, with the
westerly phase of the QBO strengthening in the hemisphere with the lowest
sulfate aerosol burden. Overall, our study suggests that tropical eruptions
of Pinatubo magnitude or larger could force changes to the progression of
the QBO, with particularly disruptive outcomes for the QBO if the eruption
occurs during the easterly QBO shear.
Comparison of atmospheric CO, CO2 and CH4 measurements at the Schneefernerhaus and the mountain ridge at Zugspitze
Authors: Hoheisel Antje , Couret Cedric , Hellack Bryan , Schmidt Martina
Published: May 2023

Abstract. The CO, CO2 and CH4 mole fractions have been measured since 2002 at the Environmental Research Station Schneefernerhaus, which is located approximately 300 m below the summit of Zugspitze in the German Alps.
Although the station is located remotely at an altitude of 2650 m a.s.l., local pollution events by snow blowers and snow groomers can be detected in the high temporal-resolution time series of seconds or minutes.
Therefore, a time-consuming flagging process, carried out manually by the station manager, is necessary. To examine local influences and the effectiveness of data flagging, a 290 m long intake line to the higher Zugspitze ridge was used to measure CO, CO2 and CH4 mole fractions at a potentially less polluted location between October 2018 and October 2020.
The comparison of these two time series shows that the mountain ridge measurement is almost unaffected by local pollution. It also demonstrates that the influence of local pollution events on the Schneefernerhaus measurements is successfully removed by the station manager.
Only a small deviation of up to 0.24 ppm can be observed during the day between the CO2 time series of the Schneefernerhaus and the mountain ridge in winter, probably due to anthropogenic sources.

Abstract. Extraction procedures for in situ cosmogenic 14C (in situ 14C) from quartz require quantitative isotopic yields while maintaining scrupulous isolation from atmospheric/organic 14C. These time- and labor-intensive procedures are ripe for automation; unfortunately, our original automated in situ 14C extraction and purification systems, reconfigured and retrofitted from our original systems at the University of Arizona, proved less reliable than hoped. We therefore installed a fully automated stainless-steel system (except for specific glass or fused-quartz components) incorporating more reliable valves and improved actuator designs, along with a more robust liquid nitrogen distribution system. As with earlier versions, the new system uses a degassed Li-metaborate (LiBO2) flux to dissolve the quartz sample in an ultra-high-purity oxygen atmosphere, after a lower-temperature combustion step to remove atmospheric/organic 14C. We compared single-use high-purity Al2O3 vs. reusable 90 %Pt/10 %Rh (Pt/Rh) sample combustion boats. The Pt/Rh boats heat more evenly than the Al2O3, reducing procedural blank levels and variability for a given LiBO2 flux. This lower blank variability also allowed us to trace progressively increasing blanks to specific batches of fluxes from our original manufacturer. Switching to a new manufacturer returned our blanks to consistently low levels on the order of (3.4 ± 0.9) x 104 14C atoms. We also analyzed the CRONUS-A intercomparison material to investigate sensitivity of extracted 14C concentrations to the temperature and duration of the combustion and extraction steps. Results indicate that 1-hr combustion steps at either 500 or 600 °C yield results consistent with the consensus value of Jull et al. (2015), while 2 hr at 600 °C results in loss of ca. 9 % of the high-temperature 14C inventory. Results for 3 hr extractions at temperatures ranging from 1050 °C to 1120 °C and 4.5 hr at 1000 °C yielded similar results that agreed with the nominal value as well as with published results from most laboratories. On the other hand, an extraction for 3 hr at 1000 °C was judged to be incomplete due to a significantly lower measured concentration. Based on these results, our preferred technique is now combustion for 1 hr at 500 °C followed by a 3 hr extraction at 1050 °C. Initial analyses of the CoQtz-N intercomparison material at our lab yielded concentrations ca. 60 % less than those of CRONUS-A, but more analyses of this material from this and other labs are clearly needed to establish a consensus value.
Estimating freshwater flux amplification with ocean tracers via linear response theory
Authors: Basinski-Ferris Aurora , Zanna Laure
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Accurate estimation of changes in the global hydrological cycle over the historical record is important for model evaluation and understanding future trends. Freshwater flux trends cannot be accurately measured directly, so quantification of change often relies on trends in ocean salinity. However, anthropogenic forcing has also induced ocean transport change, which imprints on salinity. We find that this ocean transport affects the surface salinity of the saltiest regions (the subtropics), while having little impact on the surface salinity in other parts of the globe. We present a method based on linear response theory which accounts for the regional impact of ocean circulation changes while estimating freshwater fluxes from ocean tracers. Testing on data from the Community Earth System Model large ensemble, we find that our method can recover the true amplification of freshwater fluxes, given thresholded statistical significance values for salinity trends. We apply the method to observations and conclude that over the period 1975 to 2019, the hydrological cycle has amplified by 4.52 ± 1.21 % per degree of surface warming.

Abstract. Our team has developed a neural network for road recognition on our digital twin, aimed at enhancing transportation-related applications. The neural network is trained on large datasets of road images and utilizes various deep learning architectures and techniques to improve its accuracy and reliability. The embedded neural network can recognize different road features, such as lane markings, road signs, and obstacles, and can identify the location and direction of the road. The integration of this neural network in our digital twin can help optimize transportation-related operations, reduce accidents, and improve overall traffic flow. The developed neural network architecture and training methodology, as well as its performance evaluation on various datasets, are presented in this paper. Additionally, the paper discusses the future directions for research in this area and the potential of the developed neural network for other applications in the digital twin domain.
DOUBLE NERF: REPRESENTING DYNAMIC SCENES AS NEURAL RADIANCE FIELDS

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) are non-convolutional neural models that learn 3D scene structure and color to produce novel images of a given scene from a new view point. NeRFs are closely related to such photogrammetric problems as camera pose estimation and bundle adjustment. NeRF takes a number of oriented cameras and photos as an input and learns a function that maps a 5D pose vector to an RGB color and volume destiny at point. The estimated function can be used to draw an image using a volume rendering pipeline. Still NeRF have a major limitation: they can not be used for dynamic scene synthesis. We propose a modified NeRF framework that can represent a dynamic scene as a superposition of two or more neural radiance fields. We consider a simple dynamic scene consisting of a static background scene and moving object with a static shape. We implemented our DoubleNeRF model using TensorFlow library. The results of evaluation are encouraging and demonstrate that our DoubleNeRF model achieves and surpasses the state of the art in the dynamic scene synthesis. Our framework includes two neural radiance fields for a background scene and dynamic objects. The evaluation of the model demonstrates that it can be effectively used for synthesis of photorealistic dynamic image sequence and videos.
MONITORING OF DYNAMIC OBJECTS ON A 2D OCCUPANCY MAP USING NEURAL NETWORKS AND MULTIMODAL DATA

Published: May 2023

Abstract. The paper deals with the construction of dynamic occupancy maps, where the grid cell can contain not only information about the presence or absence of an obstacle, but also information about its velocity. We propose a multimodal approach to constructing 2D dynamic occupancy maps from LiDAR point clouds and camera images. The approach involves building a static occupancy map from LiDAR data and then adding information about cell velocities based on neural network instance segmentation and object tracking in monocular onboard camera images. Pedestrians and vehicles were considered as dynamic objects. One of the important stages is the projection of the object masks found in the images onto a 2D occupancy map. We compared the proposed approach with the classical method of constructing dynamic occupancy maps from LiDAR data based on the Monte Carlo method. An experimental quality evaluation of the approaches was carried out using the popular Mapillary Vistas and Waymo Open Datasets containing street scenes and a large number of dynamic objects. We demonstrate that the considered approaches can work in real time, which indicates the possibility of their application as part of the on-board control systems of autonomous cars or ground mobile robots. The software implementation of the proposed dynamic occupancy reconstruction approach is publicly available at the link: https://github.com/andrey1908/nn-dynamic-occupancy.
ACCURATE CELL SEGMENTATION IN BLOOD SMEAR IMAGES BASED ON COLOR ANALYSIS AND CNN MODELS

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Nowadays, automated blood cell evaluation play a major role in the classification and diagnosis of diseases. Despite the many possible ways to segment blood cells, the recognition efficiency remains insufficient, especially when different cell types overlap. Also, one should not forget about the cells structure complexity. Image segmentation and image classification are the main stages of this problem. At the same time, segmentation of blood smear images is considered the most important stage in automated disease detection systems. Often cell segmentation in blood smear images is performed as a separate mapping for white blood cells and red blood cells. We propose another problem statement that uses the capabilities of supervised and unsupervised CNNs for the semantic segmentation of objects of different sizes and shapes. CNN has encoder-decoder architecture and builds a pseudo-color map. We tested several CNN models using different color spaces converting initial images from RGB to Lab, HSV and CMYK color spaces and obtained promising experimental results for several microscopic datasets such as CellaVision DM96, All-IDB and Blood Cell Detection.
