Published: July 2024

One of the causes of environmental damage is the presence of piles of rubbish which can cause flooding and ultimately disrupt human survival. In Pekanbaru City, there are areas that have quite worrying waste problems, namely RT 03, RW 05, Tirta Siak Village, Payung Sekaki District, Pekanbaru City. Almost every day rubbish can be seen scattered in residential areas. This describes the lack of public awareness and concern regarding the importance of maintaining environmental cleanliness. The aim of this community service activity is firstly to provide knowledge of non-traditional threats, especially human security issue to residents of RT 03 RW 05, Tirta Siak Village, Payung Sekaki District, Pekanbaru City. Second, increase citizens' insight into Islamic conceptions of environmental cleanliness, and third, grow and increase citizens' awareness and concern in solving waste problems. Service activities start from the observation stage, carrying out counseling, recruiting volunteers, and monitoring. The result of this service activity is that residents' knowledge about the threat of environmental damage and good waste management techniques has increased. The increase in knowledge can be seen in the questionnaire results which reached 83%. Apart from that, residents' awareness and concern for environmental cleanliness is also starting to be seen from implementing the 4R concept in daily life and the formation of environmental care movement by carrying out routine mutual cooperation actions and monitoring the environment.
The use of AI and ChatGPT in teaching synonyms to EFL students
Authors: Jia Min Chen
Published: July 2024

The research is carried out to investigate the efficiency of artificial intelligence, particularly ChatGPT, in teaching synonyms for EFL students. In this sense, the study included 90 students divided into two groups, one is the experimental and the other is a control group. Exercises based on ChatGPT were applied for the former, whereas traditional methods were applied for the latter. In this study, it has been reported that the experimental group has shown significant improvement in vocabulary acquisition. Also, the instant feedback and personalised learning experiences with ChatGPT increased student engagement and motivation. It is a demonstration that the integration of AI tools into language education could facilitate effective and interactive learning opportunities as opposed to conventional approaches. However, combining the two—using AI along with human instruction in a balanced way—is recommended for obtaining maximal educational outcomes and curbing the negative ethical concerns arising from the use of AI in education. This study also provides more support for the use of AI in improving language learning and suggests that additional research can be conducted on this topic, such as integrating AI in an educational environment.
Enhancing academic writing through metaphor-based instruction: the role of conceptual metaphor theory in English for academic purposes
Authors: Al-Hassan Sara
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the pedagogical utility of metaphors within English for Academic Purposes (EAP), employing Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) as a framework. The topic is crucial in linguistics and EAP as it addresses the challenge of making complex academic concepts accessible to students, particularly those for whom English is an additional language. Existing research often overlooks the specific application of metaphors in EAP instruction, creating a gap this study aims to fill. The primary research question is: How can metaphors enhance students' understanding and critical thinking in academic writing? Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis at a Jordanian university. Findings indicate that metaphor-based instruction significantly improves students' critical thinking and writing skills. This contribution is vital as it suggests effective strategies for EAP educators to enhance academic success through metaphorical teaching, thus advancing pedagogical practices in the field.

Authors: Al Nuaimi Hamdon
Published: July 2024

This study examines the interplay between anxiety and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in the context of Second Language Acquisition (SLA). It identifies anxiety as a critical factor hindering adult learners’ progress in acquiring English as a foreign language. Using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), data were collected from 150 intermediate-level EFL learners in the UAE. Results showed anxiety levels decreased over time when TBLT was used. The most significant predictor was age, and older learners experienced higher anxiety. The results highlighted the need for a supportive learning environment and that technology be utilised as measures to reduce anxiety. These results support the use of TBLT for improving practical language skills; however, reducing anxiety to maximise overall outcomes during the language-learning process. This study indicates the need for further research on differences between individual learners and the role of the instructor in controlling classroom anxiety.

Ketamine Infusion for Reducing Post-Operative Pain and Opioid Use in Gynecological Surgery
Authors: Frimpong Prince Opuni
Published: July 2024

This analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ketamine infusion for reducing post-operative pain and opioid use in gynecological surgeries. A comprehensive review of recent studies revealed that ketamine consistently demonstrates significant pain-reducing and opioid-sparing effects across various surgical contexts, including gynecological procedures. Sub-anesthetic doses of ketamine were found to be effective and well-tolerated. However, optimal dosing regimens and timing of administration specific to gynecological surgeries require further investigation. The analysis recommends conducting large-scale, procedure-specific trials to establish tailored protocols for different gynecological surgeries. Additionally, long-term follow-up studies are needed to assess the impact on chronic pain development and persistent opioid use. This analysis is significant for refining pain management strategies in gynecological surgeries, potentially improving patient outcomes and addressing opioid-related concerns. It underscores the need for more flexible regulations to facilitate ketamine's clinical use in this context.

Imagine that a U.S. bank wishes to develop a predictive model for granting credit to borrowers below the poverty line. With the current U.S. population at 325 million—of which nearly 40 million live in poverty140—the universe of available data for making predictions may be limited. Even if a quarter seek loans, and the bank has experience lending to 10% (or 4 million borrowers), the amount of predictive precision required for avoiding bad loans and creating a profitable lending business may be insufficient nonetheless since data about past loans may be inadequate.141 In other national markets, where the population is larger—in particular the number of those living in poverty—data may be available for developing a sufficiently precise predictive model
CORPORATE LAW & ECONOMICS OF LIMITED LIABILITY: A PERSPECTIVE OVERVIEW AND SOME OPEN QUESTIONS!
Authors: Bento Lucas Fulanete Gonçalves
Published: July 2024

Limited liability is considered to be “the feature” of corporate law. From a Corporate Law & Economics perspective, for very broad and different economic stimuli and reasons, it is supposed that limited liability provides gains from improving liquidity and diversification. Although, it is knowledge that in some cases where there is much less separation between management and risk bearing, those gains are minimal while creating a high probability that a firm will engage in a socially excessive level of risk taking. When such cases happen and are studied in closed corporations, they are obviated by the piercing the corporate veil.

Authors: Saini Ved , Sharma Dinanath
Published: July 2024

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is one of the most chronic immune-mediated disease, till date its aetiology is unknown. Its inflammatory and psychosomatic nature affects the oral mucosa in a typical manner. One of the risk factors is emotional instability reported by many studies in patients suffering from depression, anxiety disorder, and acute stress (Panta et al., 2019). Research study on anxiety, depression, and oral lichen planus (OLP) suggests that patients with OLP experience higher levels of anxiety and depression compared to individuals with other benign oral lesions. The study found a significant association between OLP and increased levels of anxiety and depression, indicating that these psychological factors may contribute to the development and exacerbation of OLP. However, it was not definitively established that anxiety and depression are direct causative factors of OLP. The researchers recommend considering psychotherapy, antidepressants, and anxiolytic treatments as adjuncts to managing OLP alongside specific oral lesion treatments. Additionally, the study suggests that addressing the psychological well-being of OLP patients may provide added benefits in their overall management.(García-Pola Vallejo et al., 2001).The article highlights the strong correlation between psychological factors and OLP(Song et al., 2021) , This research article discusses a female patient who suffered from OLP and was under medication. Hence Yogasana, Preksha meditation and Jal Neti was offered by considering psychology, dietary patterns and stress factors. Background: A female patient age 34 years, who suffered from Oral Lichen Planus and started taking medication. A detailed history related to psychosocial, stress, dietary pattern and medication was obtained. Clinically, the OLP was diagnosed by Dental HOD in Govt. Hospital. Patient has shown reluctance towards modern medicines and also has a fear for lifetime taking medicines, she was in healthcare profession and aware that most of medicines are psychiatric and steroidal drugs and may causes lower the immune defence system. Hence a holistic approach offered by considering psychology and dietary patterns and stress factors. she was willing to voluntarily enrol for a future solution and avoidance of pharmacotherapeutic medicines. Objective: To examine the effect of Yogasana, Preksha Meditation and Shatkarma on patient suffering from Oral Lichen Planus with a holistic management approach. Method: A long-term Yogasana, Preksha Meditation and Shatkarma therapy is given and evaluates the improvement in symptoms. Result: There was gradual improvement in the symptoms of the OLP disorder and after 12 weeks of continued practice of Yogasana, Preksha Meditation and Jalaneti OLP symptoms diminished. Conclusion: Patients with OLP disorder can be successfully managed with Yogasana, Preksha Meditation and Jalaneti and this complementary therapy helps to manage OLP symptoms and improve overall well-being.

Archtypology of the Figural Antagonist in Classical Fairy Tales and Other Culture-Forming Stories
Authors: Čechová Mariana ,   Department of Ethics and Aesthetics, Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, Slovakia
Published: July 2024

The present study focuses on the semiotic profile of a literary character acting as a villain/antagonist (Propp) as one of the central factors of the existential problem situation (the de facto “originator” of problems), which represents a general theme in the folk fairy tales and/or culture-forming stories. The aim of this paper is neither to cover all the principles and manifestations of antagonists exhaustively, nor to present a complete typological description of antagonistic characters, but to cover those basic forms and most frequent or otherwise essential attributes that canonically standardize and significantly universalize the archetype of an antagonist in the selected range of narratives. The issue is approached from the perspective of literary theory (with an emphasis on the morphological, structural, and thematic analysis of the literary characters), and it is materially and argumentatively based on the representative sets of folklore and culture-forming narratives (Aarne-Thompson-Uther’s international catalog of fairy tale types, world myths, canonical texts, etc.), as well as on their national (Slovak) variants.
Changes in Indigenous Paddy/Rice Marketing Channel Structure: An Evidence from Two Districts of Bangladesh
Authors: Ahmed Junayed Uddin , Sultana Maya
Published: July 2024

Aim: The study examines the evolution of the indigenous paddy/rice marketing system in Bangladesh.
Study Design: Descriptive-quantitative and qualitative.
Place and Duration of Study: For the research study, a simple random sampling procedure was used in two districts of Bangladesh, Brahmanbaria and Habiganj. The survey was conducted from February to March 2022.
Methodology: In total, 113 farmers and 43 different paddy and rice traders’ data were collected from two villages in Brahmanbaria. In addition, data was also collected from 179 farmers in six villages and 23 different types of paddy and rice traders in Habiganj district. The data was tabulated and entered in SPSS 18 and MS Excel to calculate descriptive statistics.
Results: The study revealed that in the indigenous paddy/rice marketing channel, Faria and LPA/Bepari were both very active actors. Over time, Faria’s business vanished in the 2nd stage, and LPA/Bepari has become the dominant actor, as about 64.3% of paddy is traded through them. In the 3rd stage, LPA/Bepari’s business has decreased, and LPB/Paddy Aratdar has become a dominant actor as about 68.9% of paddy is traded through them. In the 3rd stage, Paddy Aratdar cum Wholesaler has vanished from the paddy/rice marketing channel. Due to intense competition among paddy and rice traders, changes in their functions and marketing power in the paddy and rice markets, the development of infrastructure, and the enlarging of farmers’ facility conditions are the main reasons for the change.
Conclusion: Therefore, infrastructure and farmer facility condition enhancement need to be extended for future paddy/rice marketing structure improvement.
Continuous Erlang Mixtures and their Relation to Exponential Mixtures and Poisson Mixtures
Authors: Gathongo Beatrice M.
Published: July 2024

This study provides a novel method for obtaining Erlang mixtures from a mixed Poisson process. The study solved the basic differential equations of the Poisson process to obtain the Poisson distribution. The waiting time distribution in a Poisson process is illustrated as an Erlang distribution. The study also presented the Erlang mixture as the first passage time distribution in the mixed Poisson process, which was expressed using both the direct method and the method of moments. Moreover, these two ways of inferring a mathematical identity have been equated. The exponential mixture and Poisson mixture are explained as special cases of the Erlang mixture. A practical example is given, using type II gamma distribution mixtures. Properties of the mixtures, such as raw moments and probability generating function, are analyzed.

Authors: Akula Tejaswi , S. M. Kishore
Published: July 2024

Barley continues to stand out as an important food source for human beings all over the world. It remains significant to manufacturing (industrial applications), especially in the malting and brewing sectors. This contributes to its promotion as a commercial crop through practices such as contract farming in Punjab, Rajasthan, and Haryana. Nanoparticle-based delivery mechanisms are high-end tools for enhancing zinc efficiency in barley crops. These involve coating and stabilizing zinc ions in nanoscale materials such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, or nanocarriers thus improving bioavailability and uptake besides abolishing soil solubility and mobility challenges. In conclusion, nano zinc is a sustainable way of addressing micronutrient deficiencies while promoting barley production under diverse agricultural conditions. This method has huge potential to improve future global food security and agricultural sustainability.

The field experiments were conducted at the agriculture farm of BFIT Crop Research Centre, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, during 2021–22 on the title- “Analysis of the consequences of a mixture of micronutrients on the parameters associated with wheat growth and yield”. A RBD (Randomized Block Design) of plot with eight treatments and three replications was used in this study. The experimental treatments included: T1 - Control (without fertilizer or any other growth activity), T2 - RDF (NPK) only, T3 - RDF (NPK) + Local Formulation(LF) Grade V 10kg/ha mixture of micronutrient on Soil Application (SA) only, T4 - RDF (NPK) + Local Formulation (LF) GradeV 10kg/ha mixture of micronutrient on Soil Application (SA)  + 0.25% FS of micronutrient mixture @ tillering stage only,T5 - RDF(NPK) + Local Formulation (LF) Grade V 15kg/ha mixture of micronutrient on Soil Application (SA) only,T6 - RDF(NPK) + Local Formulation (LF) Grade V 15kg/ha mixture of micronutrient on Soil Application (SA)  + 0.25 % FS @ tillering stages only, T7 - RDF (NPK) + Local Formulation(LF) GradeV 25kg/ha mixture of micronutrient on Soil Application (SA) only, T8 - RDF (NPK) + Local Formulation (LF) Grade V 25kg/ha mixture of micronutrient 0.25% Foliar Spray (FS) of micronutrient mixture @ tillering stage only. Significant 0.5% increases in spike length, spikelets/spike, spike/m2, number of tillers/m2, number of grains/spike, 1000-grain weight, grain, straw, and biological yields (ton)/fed were noted in the study's results. Additionally, the harvest index was found to be significantly higher in T8 only. The highest grain yield was achieved by T8 while lower yield of growth attributes / parameters was found in the control plot.

Objective: To clinically evaluate for 24 months the restorations of caries-free cervical lesions (CFCL) made with bulk-fill composite resin. 
Materials and Methods: Sixty CFCL were selected and divided into two experimental groups: Filtek Z350 (control with conventional composite resin) and Filtek BF (Bulk Fill composite resin). The restorations were evaluated according to the USPHS criteria - marginal adaptation, anatomic form, marginal discoloration, caries formation, postoperative sensitivity, and retention - at the following periods: initial, 7, 30, 180, and 720 days. The results were statistically analyzed using the Friedman ANOVA test (p < 0.05) followed by the Durbin-Conover post-test (p < 0.05). For intra-group analysis, the Wilcoxon non-parametric test was used (p < 0.05).
Results: Significant differences were observed between the groups, with Bulk Fill resin showing superior clinical performance in terms of marginal adaptation, restoration discoloration, anatomic form, and especially dentin sensitivity. Regarding caries formation and retention, both groups presented similar results.
Conclusion: Bulk-fill composite resins demonstrated superiority in various USPHS criteria in the treatment of caries-free cervical lesions, proving to be a promising material for this treatment context.

The present study was undertaken at the Department of Horticulture, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK Bengaluru, during the Rabi season of 2022 using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications to evaluate eighteen bitter gourd genotypes, including the check Pusa Hybrid 6, for various yield and yield attributing traits, highlighting significant variations among them. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for the studied traits. Genotype Pusa Purvi produced the maximum number of fruits per vine (46.67), whereas, Pusa Rasdar produced the least number of fruits (12.33) per vine. The longest fruits were recorded in Pant Karela 4 (24 cm) followed by Phule Green Gold (19.37 cm) and Priya (19 cm), whereas, the smallest fruits were found in Pusa Purvi (5.07 cm). The genotype Pusa Rasdar exhibited the maximum fruit diameter (6.53 cm) and highest fruit weight (148.14 g), while Pusa Purvi exhibited the minimum diameter (2.72 cm). The genotype Konkan Tara (1.96 kg) followed by Pusa Rasdar (1.79 kg) and Priya (1.60 kg) exhibited the maximum fruit yield per vine. These genotypes may be selected as parents in further breeding programme to improve the crop in terms of yield traits.

Published: July 2024

Despite the significant contribution of hospitality industry to the people, economy and beautification of the landscape, hotels generate large volume of effluent from their ancillary activities such as kitchen, room cleaning, toilet, laundry, etc., this effluent has the potential to seep into the underlying aquifer, thereby contaminating the groundwater. This research explores the effects of hotels effluent discharge on groundwater quality in Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria. The study has four (4) research objectives to; identify the contaminants present in Hotels’ effluent discharge; investigate the levels of physicochemical parameters in the hotels effluent, hotels borehole and borehole within 500m radius of the hotels; determine if the concentrations in groundwater quality parameters are within the safety limits recommended by World Health Organization (WHO), and National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), and, to determine the effective management strategies to minimize the discharge of hotel effluent and protect groundwater resources. Samples of hotels’ effluents, water samples from the hotels’ borehole, the nearest borehole within 500m radius were taken for laboratory testing. The statistical tool used for the analysis of the laboratory result was the Student T – Test while the 4-point Likert Scale was used for the questionnaires analysis. The result shows the presence of contaminants at varying degrees. Contaminants like DO (8.63mg/l), COD (10.78mg/l), BOD (4.36mg/l), TDS (0.25mg/l), TSS (0.13mg/l), Alkalinity (59.5mg/l), Hardness (30.65mg/l), EC (2.25mg/l), iron (30.1mg/l), sulphide, phosphates, and, nitrate, were present in the hotels effluent. Contaminants are also present in the hotel boreholes and boreholes within 500m radius, they however, fell within acceptable levels. However, the pH of the water samples (3.40mg/l), significantly lower than the safe drinking water standard (6.5 – 8.5mg/l) as prescribed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA). The study suggests the investigation and the source of acidity; improve hotel effluent treatment; promote water conservation and reuse; community awareness and education programs; and, strengthen collaboration and monitoring.
