Authors: Hassan Javier , Manditong Jahiri , Bakkang Alcyn , Kamdon Sisteta U. , Salim Jeffrey Imer
Published: October 2023

Let G be a graph with no isolated vertex. A subset M ⊆ V (G) is called a J-open set if NG(a)\NG(b) ̸= ∅ and NG(b)\NG(a) ̸= ∅ ∀ a, b ∈ M, where a ̸= b. If in addition, M is a total dominating in G, then we call M a J-total dominating set in G. The maximum cardinality amongall J-total dominating set in G, denoted by γJt(G), is called the J-total domination number of G. In this paper, we characterize J-total dominating sets in some special graphs and join of two graphs, and we use these results to obtain formulas for the parameters of these graphs. Moreover, we determine its relationships with other known parameters in graph theory. Finally, we derive the lower bound of the parameter for the corona of two graphs.
On controlling, Vibration Performance and Energy Transfer of an Offshore Wind Turbine Tower System via PPF Controller
Authors: Alsaadi Ateq , Salah Hamed Yasser
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we focus on the control, energy transfer, and vibration performance under multi mixed excitations for the offshore wind turbine tower (OWTT) system. For reducing the controlled system oscillations, the positive position feedback (PPF) controller is applied. The energy transfers occur in the system of wind turbine by adding the PPF controller to the system equations. With the help of the phase plane approach, frequency response equations, and Poincare maps, the bifurcation and stability at worst resonance cases are sought and investigated. The vibration behaviors are studied numerically at different parameters values for the wind turbine system. Additionally, the response and numerical outcomes are examined, also, the approach of multiple scales is used to establish the approximate solutions of the wind turbine-controlled system. Besides that, MAPLE and MATLAB algorithms are used to implement the numerical results and compare analytical solutions with numerical behavior. The results also be compared to previous research that has been published.
On the Diophantine Equations $a^x+b^y+c^z=w^2$
Authors: Laipaporn Kittipong , Kaewchay Saowapak , Karnbanjong Adisak
Published: October 2023

Over the past decade, exponential Diophantine equations of the form ax + by = wn have been studied as if they were a phenomenon. In particular, numerous articles have focused on the cases where n = 2 or n = 4 and 2 ≤ a, b ≤ 200. However, these articles are primarily concerned with determining whether the left-hand side of the equation needs to consist of more than twoexponentials. Therefore, in this article, we investigate the exponential Diophantine equation in the form ax + by + cz = w2, using only elementary tools related to modulo concepts. We present three theorems in which the variables a, b and c vary under certain conditions, and three additional theorems where the variable c is fixed at 7. Furthermore, if we restrict our parameters a, b and cto 2 ≤ a ≤ b ≤ c ≤ 20, then 1,330 equations have been considered. Our results confirm that 135 of these equations have been fully clarified.

Guna mewujudkan TNGR sebagai destinasi pendakian berkelas dunia, kejadian kecelakaan wisata harus dihindarkan dengan angka risiko terkecil (zero accident). Kalaupun tidak terhindarkan terjadinya kecelakaan, maka penanggulangan (evakuasi, dan pasca kejadian) dilakukan secara efektif dan efisien. Tiga langkah manajemen internal yang perlu disiapkan oleh BTNGR; (1) manajemen jalur pendakian, (2) manajemen pendakian, (3) manajemen risiko bahaya/bencana (aksi mitigasi dan penanganan kecelakaan/bencana). Selain itu diperlukan langkah strategis penguatan tata kelola penanganan bahaya wisata yang melibatkan berbagai stakeholders. Penyiapan tata kelola bahaya ekowisata ditujukan untuk pengembangan harmoni dan sinergi stakeholders, menghindarkan terjadinya kecelakaan wisata, meminimalkan dampak negatif saat terjadi kecelakaan/bencana, mempercepat pemulihan pasca kejadian. Agar memiliki kekuatan yang mengikat dan memaksa, rumusan tata kelola bahaya/bencana ekowisata harus dituangkan ke dalam instrumen kebijakan peraturan perundang-undangan di tingkat provinsi maupun kabupaten. Sosialisasi dan eduksai publik terkait pentingnya tata kelola ini perlu dilakukan secara sistematis dan masif, mulai anak tingkat pra-sekolah hingga mahasiswa, serta masyarakat umum

Study of the Organisation and Functions of Co-operative Farming Societies in the Madras State
Authors:   Lecturer Agricultural Economics ,Agricultural College and Reserch Institute,  Coimbatore  641 003, V RAJAGOPALAN
Published: October 2023

Co-operative farming has assumed greater significance in the wake of the continued support and encouragement of the Government of India in their efforts to reorganise agricultural institutions and reorient their functions to fit into the dynamic framework of Indian agriculture. Co-operative farming is identified as an institution or business organisation in agriculture which can render, all the advantages of large scale operations and mitigate against the twin evils of subdivision and fragmentation of holdings which dampen the enthusiasm for adoption of improved technology and deter cultivators' efforts to get out of subsistence farming characterised by vicious circle of low productivity and low capitalisation in these atomistic business units. Further it is, as it is claimed. often, an association for economically weaker sections of forming communities to report to joint endeavour with the objectives of mutual help and service and to array against powerful interests like traders in farm requirements and farm products in the markets which are woefully tilted against the farmer. Voluntary association is the hallmark of the co-operative movement and co-operative farming institutions enshrine this vital principle.
Technique to create epiphytotics of angular leaf spot (Xanthomonas malvacearum (Smith) Dowson) of cotton. (ii) Field Trials
Authors:   Plant Pathologist, PIRRCOM, Coimbatore 3, N.V SUNDARAM
Published: October 2023

Angular leaf spot otherwise known as blackarm of cotton is a major disense of cotton and occurs in many cotton growing countries. In India, this disease occupies the primary importance in view of the loss it causes to the yield of cotton especially in certain States like Andhra Pradesh, Madras, Mysore and Kerala. This disease is a limiting factor in the cultivation of Sen Island cotton along the west coast areas and in places of heavy rainfall. Attempts are being made to exploit the source of resistance to this disease from a number of species and varieties of cotton. In evaluating the genetic stocks for their resistance to this disease, n suitable technique to create epiphytotics of this disease is essential as in the absence of such a technique the grading of a particular variety varies from year to year or from place to place according to seasonal variations. In the past, various methods have been described by different authors which have been briefly enumerated by Sundaram (1961). However, these techniques were found to be inadequate to create epiphytotics of the disease under field conditions. Sundaram (1961) described a technique to create the disease in an epiphytotic form under laboratory conditions based on which further studies were conducted to evolve a method to create the disease under field conditions and the results are briefly reported in this paper.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of phosphorus and different forms of nitrogen applied to soil on nitrogen mineralisation and yield of ragi under pot culture conditions. Mineralisation of organic nitrogen in soil has been fully reviewed by Harmsen and Van Schreven in 1955. Subsequently, many workers have described the effect of moisture content, temperature, pH and aeration during incubation on mineralisable nitrogen. But few attempts have been made to correlate the values obtained with responses of crops to nitrogen fertiliser application or forms of fertiliser applied and the influence of phosphorus and potash on nitrogen availability.

Among the various methods employed towards rice improvement, the one by "introduction" is by far the easiest and most rapid method. Varieties from Japan, Korea, Italy, America and China were given a fair trial in our country. From among the reports by rice workers, it could be gathered that none of these, except a few Chinese varieties was found to adapt themselves to the conditions existing in India. The study of the behaviour of Chinese varieties also opened the line of introducing desirable genes into indica varieties. In this paper, the details of a trial aimed at directly introducing Chinese varieties in Thanjavur delta are presented.

During the World War II, accute shortage of food was felt and even though there were many potentialities in the country, no definite action could be taken to start another Agricultural College to take up various schemes to step up food production. After the end of the war, many schemes were formulated under the post-war reconstruction scheme and the major project was to produce more trained personnel in agriculture to man the several departmental schemes and to achieve the food production targets aimed by the then Government. As a result, the Government of Madras drafted a scheme to establish a second Agricultural College in Andhra area especially in Delta districts where ample irrigation facilities are available. So the first Agricultural College in Andhra area namely the Agricultural College, Bapatla was established in July 1945 by the then Madras Government and was affiliated to the Andhra University. Never the less the Courses, Curriculums and other features to run the College were based entirely on the model of the Coimbatore college. In other words, it can be stated that the Bapatla Agricultural College is an off-shoot of the Agricultural College, Coimbatore.
Achievements of the Campaign for the Control of the Groundnut Red Hairy Caterpillar, Amsacta albistriga M. in Madurai Division (Madras State)
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, M MUKUNDAN
Published: October 2023

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea Linn.) is one of the main cash crops of Madras State grown over an area of about 20,66,000 acres. The major insect pest of the crop is the redhairy caterpillar, Amsacta albistriga M. (Arctiidae- Lepidoptera) and its occurrence is more or less an annual feature in most of the red sandy loam tracts of the South. The pest is polyphagons but it is parti- cularly destructive to groundnut. The incidence of the pest varies from tract to tract as it is influenced to a large extent by the local rainfall and agricultural practices. According to the peculiarities in the seasonal and climatic conditions, the areas chronically infested by the pest has been broadly classified into three zones viz., (1) South Arcot, North Arcot and Salem (June-October), (ii) Madurai and Ramanathapuram (August-October) and (iii) Pollachi (Coimbatore District) (May-June) by Nagarajan and Ramachandran (1958). In Madurai region with the receipt of showers the sowing of the dry crops are extended up to August- September. Concomitant with this the emergence of the moths takes place and the pest assumes alarming proportions by August-October. By dusting BHC 10% within a week after the emergence of the moth, the pest can be annihilated completely, provided the control measures are taken by the ryots on a co- operative basis. The grown up caterpillars can be controlled by dusting Toxaphene 20% or by spraying parathion (Nagarajan et al. 1957; Nagarajan and Ramachandran 1958).

ASSESSING THE FINANCIAL BENEFITS OF USING A SHOWER DRAIN HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM – A CASE STUDY
Authors: Janaszek Agata , Kowalik Robert
Published: October 2023

The production of hot water for bathing in Poland accounts for around 15% of the total energy consumption of a typical household. According to EU data, final energy consumption for lighting and appliances is similar to final energy consumption for hot water preparation. This makes it a significant contributor to housing and utility costs, exceeded only by heating expenses. Research has indicated that only about 10% of the water utilized during a shower is necessary for hygiene purposes. Consequently, around 90% of the hot water supplied to the shower is ultimately discharged into the sewage system. By harnessing the primary energy from wastewater, we can effectively conserve heat energy and reduce the overall expenditure associated with hot water. The objective of this article is to explore the utilization of heat recovery from domestic wastewater as a means to enhance the energy efficiency of residential buildings.

Introduction: Mucormycosis, the third most prevalent invasive fungal disease ranked, has a very high mortality rate. The timely diagnosis, coupled with the prompt administration of drug and surgical interventions, yields a substantial reduction in mortality rates. To accomplish these objectives, the acquisition of accurate data and information assumes paramount importance. A minimum data set (MDS) serves as a crucial tool for data collection, offering healthcare managers a standardized information resource. Consequently, the aim of this study was to develop a MDS to mucormycosis in Iran.Material and Methods: This research was conducted using a practical approach, employing a two-step Delphi method. An extensive literature review was conducted aimed at extracting relevant information specific to mucormycosis. two individual checklists were developed. Following these checklists underwent rigorous evaluation through the Delphi, involving the 20 experts, consisting of five specialists each in the fields of infectious diseases, dermatology, otolaryngology, and health information management.Results: Experts thoroughly examined a total of 72 out of 86 items on the demographic information checklist throughout both the initial and second phases of the Delphi process. Furthermore, within the clinical information checklist, experts meticulously evaluated 303 out of 323 data elements during the first and second phases of the Delphi process. The demographic checklist was structured into four categories basic information, demographic details, insurance particulars, and referral information. The clinical checklist consisted of seven categories, encompassing risk factors, types of mucormycosis disease, clinical signs and symptoms, diagnosis, species, treatment, and outcomes.Conclusion: In recent years, the prevalence of underlying diseases has witnessed an upward trend, resulting in a subsequent escalation in the number of mucormycosis patients. In light of the burgeoning incidence of mucormycosis cases in Iran, it becomes imperative to establish a standardized MDS for this disease.

Introduction: Online and social network-based training and clinical interventions during pregnancy and immediately after pregnancy can be beneficial for women, empowering them in their role as a mother. Nowadays, due to the spread of the COVID-19 accompanied by a reduction in the number of referrals for maternity care, there has been a higher incidence of urinary infections among the pregnant women. Taking these into account, the present study aims to shed light on the effect of the WhatsApp-based learning on awareness, attitude, and self-efficacy in relation to UTIs among pregnant women compared to the pamphlet-based learning.Material and Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on 96 pregnant women at 30 weeks and less than 30 weeks of pregnancy who referred to the government Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics in Isfahan city in 2021. The participants were simple randomly assigned to one of three independent groups, namely two intervention groups and one control group. Intervention took 6 weeks and the data were collected both before and after the intervention using a standardized questionnaire. SPSS software V21.0 and non-parametric statistical tests, including Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney were used for data analysis.Results: The results showed that the mean score of the awareness before and after intervention increased from 11 to 26 and from 11 to 15 (X2=36.00, p<0.001) in the WhatsApp-based and the pamphlet-based learning group, respectively. Furthermore, the mean score of the attitude before and after intervention increased from 54 to 82 in the WhatsApp-based and from 53 to 58 (X2=60.00, p<0.001) in the pamphlet-based learning group. For self-efficacy, the mean score before and after intervention changed from 47 to 71 in WhatsApp-based and from 46 to 51 (X2=62.00, p<0.001)   in the pamphlet-based learning group. In the control group, there is no difference in the mean score of the awareness, attitude and self-efficacy before and after the intervention.Conclusion: Online training and clinical interventions during pregnancy can be beneficial for women. In fact, sharing health information among pregnant women through social networks is related to better pregnancy management. It also increased their awareness, attitude and self-efficacy.

Conceptual understanding of physics is one of the important factors to improve the quality of learning physics. However, several studies have shown that student’s  conceptual understanding is low, especially in static fluid material. Several studies have attempted to use recitation programs and have succeeded in increasing understanding of the concept. Student's conceptual understanding can be improved through independent learning. Independent learning can use recitation programs, but not many available static fluid recitation programs are equipped with concept explanations and do not yet cover students who study in a formal and boarding school system, such as boarding school students. Existing recitation programs are widely used by students to support independent learning. Recitation of students is still rare because of the lack of independent learning. Therefore, this study aims to improve boarding school student’s conceptual understanding in static fluid material through recitation program. This research is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental and one group pretest-posttest design. The recitation program is given in the form of an interesting computer-assisted animation outside of learning. The subjects of this study were 40 students of class XI Natural Science 1 at the SMA International Islamic Boarding School Ar-Rohmah Dau, Malang. The research instruments included valid recitation programs and pretest-posttest questions. Data obtained from the results of the conceptual understanding test supported by interviews. The results showed that there was an increase in students' understanding of the concept which was calculated through an N-gain of 0.45 in the medium category and an effect-size of 1.68 in the strong category. The findings of this study imply that the recitation program can improve student's understanding of concepts like previous research, and practically that teachers can utilize the recitation program as student learning material.

The leadership role in a school organisation is crucial for long-term success, particularly in relation to teachers' motivation, especially in the implementation of ICT. School leaders possess the opportunity to employ diverse leadership styles that can influence teachers' motivation, specifically in integrating ICT into teaching and learning. Technical and vocational education is an area where ICT integration holds significant potential for productivity enhancement, given its pivotal role in developing students' college-ready skills. However, previous studies have shown uncertainties in the relationship between principals’ leadership styles and teachers' motivation in certain schools. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between principals' leadership styles and TVET teachers' motivation in implementing ICT. A correlational study was conducted, employing survey methods, and utilizing the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) for instructional leadership styles and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) for transformational leadership styles. The instruments used to measure teachers' motivation were adapted from the instruments aligning with the TAM model. Data analysis included percentage, mean, standard deviation, frequency, regression, and Pearson's correlation analysis, with a significance level set at p = 0.05. The results revealed that TVET teachers' responses to the leadership styles of school principals in Malaysia are satisfactory. Furthermore, a significant correlation exists between the principal's leadership styles and TVET teachers’ motivation. In addition, regression analysis demonstrates that transformational dan instructional leaderships influence TVET teachers’ motivation in implementing ICT. These findings provide support for previous research indicating that the principal's leadership styles indeed influence teachers' motivation.
