Published: July 2024

Climate factors such as temperature, rainfall, atmospheric carbon dioxide, solar radiation relative humidity are closely linked with agricultural production. Production of rice and wheat has become major concern in recent years for changing climatic conditions. A simulation study was conducted to assess the climate change impacts on rice and wheat production in Bangladesh using infocrop. The model simulated the yields of rice and wheat for the climate change scenarios of temperature, rainfall and CO2 concentration. The effect of temperature on rice and wheat production is negative while that of CO2 is positive, but temperature plays dominant role. The climate change impacts on rice and wheat production for both scenarios of historical and IPCC trends are negative, but the impacts are more prominent for wheat. Mymensingh is more vulnerable to climate change in comparison to Dinajpur.

Authors: Lim Gull
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study is to find the impact of social capital on school adaptation of youth who have experienced the COVID-19 pandemic and to study alternatives. Targeting youth currently attending high school, 631 cases were analyzed using SPSS 28.0 through direct interviews and structured surveys over a three-week period from November 5 to November 24, 2023. As a result of the analysis, bonding social capital includes trust, network, family, peers, and teachers. Factors were significant, and for bridging social capital, both size and density were significant. Bonding social capital has a high ability to adapt to school through relationships with others, and bridging social capital has a close impact on school adaptation depending on the size and density of resources possessed by youth. A few suggestions are based on the above results. First, a capacity-building program should be operated to strengthen bonding social capital centered on relationships, and opportunities to strengthen social capital should be provided by utilizing club activities. Second, it is necessary to develop indicators that can verify the degree of relationship necessary for adolescents' school adaptation. Third, it is necessary to develop a manual that can effectively screen and select the size and density of youth's bridging social capital.

Stock price forecasting provide valuable insight to the investor to facilitate well-informed investment decision making. The aim of this study is to examine the calendar anomalies i.e. DOW in Pakistan stock exchange though Artificial intelligence techniques. For this purpose, Support vector machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT) and Artificial Neural Network is used to forecast the daily stock prices. The daily stock prices data of KSE100 index ranges from May,1994 to August 2023 is used as out variable while stock open, close, high and low prices are used as features/input variables. The training and testing ratio was 80:20 means 80% of the data was used in training and the 20% values were utilized for forecasting.  To evaluate the accuracy of predictions, mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE)/mean absolute deviation (MAD), mean absolute percent error (MAPE), and R-squared (R^2) are taken as decision criteria. The daily forecasted stock prices show the almost zero error on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in SVM. Decision tree show very low error in actual and forecasted stock prices. Therefore, it is concluded that, the DOW anomalies exist in KSE100 index of PSX.  Results show that, SVM can better predict the stock prices than DT and ANN. These results conclude that the forecasted stock prices are much closer to actual daily stock price means the daily stock prices can be forecast in KSE100 index. These finding contradicts the Efficient market hypothesis and conclude that the Pakistan stock exchange (PSX) is weak-form inefficient market.

Published: July 2024

As in the current topic of discussion, namely climate change, where long-term climate change is one of the major environmental concerns. If we look ahead to what is happening in our surroundings, both in terms of weather and temperature, as well as the water we consume, we will notice changes over time. Higher wildfires have resulted from these changes, which have resulted in losses to living creatures on Earth, ranging from increased heat, drought, and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change. Additional worries include dwindling water supplies, lower agricultural yields, heat-related health effects in cities, and coastal flooding and erosion. As a result, it provides renewable energy that can help mitigate the worst effects of climate change. Objectives: When discussing climate change, we are addressing alterations in weather patterns. Climate change denotes a protracted modification in climate conditions extending over decades, or even longer periods. It emerges as a consequence of global warming, which ensues from both natural phenomena such as fluctuations in solar radiation, volcanic activities, or intrinsic variability within the climate system, and anthropogenic factors including alterations in atmospheric composition or land use. Climate change is contingent upon meteorological variables such as temperature, humidity, wind patterns, precipitation, drought occurrences, aridity levels, and solar radiation impacting the Earth. Method and results: The sources utilized for this composition encompass articles and journals sourced from online social media platforms, alongside a comprehensive review of articles and journals published by international and national agencies, focusing on pertinent issues related to the subject matter. Renewable energy emerges as a formidable tool in combatting climate change, exhibiting promising potential for success. Conclusion: After we investigate and learn about renewable energy in order to discuss the impact of climate change, we can learn about the advantages it offers, such as the advantages of using renewable energy in the environmental and economic sectors, such as generating energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions from fossil firing and reduces some types of air pollution, as well as the advantages of diversifying energy supply and reducing reliance on imported firing.

Objective: Childbirth can be a significant and transformative experience, yet for some women, it is marred by trauma, leading to profound psychological effects. This study aims to explore the psychological effects of childbirth trauma on women's subsequent birth experiences, focusing on understanding how past trauma influences mental health, coping mechanisms, and perceptions of future births. Methods and Materials: This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach to gain in-depth insights into the personal experiences of 24 women residing in Tehran who had experienced childbirth trauma and subsequently gave birth again. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews until theoretical saturation was reached. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using NVivo software, following a thematic analysis approach to identify key themes and subthemes. Findings: Three main themes were identified: psychological impact of childbirth trauma, coping mechanisms, and subsequent birth experiences. The psychological impact included subthemes of anxiety and fear, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), guilt and self-blame, and social withdrawal. Coping mechanisms encompassed seeking professional help, support from family and friends, positive reframing, self-care practices, and religious and spiritual beliefs. Subsequent birth experiences included increased vigilance and control, fear of re-experiencing trauma, positive birth preparation, emotional readiness, and empowerment and advocacy. Conclusion: The study highlights the significant and lasting impact of traumatic childbirth on women's mental health and their subsequent birth experiences. Addressing the psychological aftermath of such trauma through early screening, comprehensive support systems, and empowering birth preparation is crucial for promoting maternal well-being and positive birth outcomes. Culturally sensitive care and targeted interventions can further enhance the support provided to women, helping them heal from trauma and approach future births with confidence.
What Makes a Field? Stepping from Pilgrimage to Pilgrimage Studies
Authors: Coleman Simon ,   University of Toronto
Published: July 2024

How do we decide what the next steps will be in the study of pilgrimage? Answering this question is not just a matter of prediction; it is also about deciding what the field of Pilgrimage Studies is for, and who its audiences might be. Writing as an anthropologist, I examine a number of perspectives and actions that I see as key to helping our field to move forward. These involve 1) understanding pilgrimage’s capacity to encompass and inflect wider social trends; 2) taking a critical view of the analytical metaphors that we have used in describing pilgrimage, and developing some new ones; 3) understanding how Pilgrimage Studies might interact with other fields, including those that go beyond religion; 4) speculating that pilgrimage might be considered a form of ethical, self-consciously directed, orientation toward action.

Beckground : The body's physiological function needs, as well as social and emotional needs, everyone needs to eat (consume food) with the right diet. Fulfillment of the amount of food and nutrients that are good for the body will lead to a better quality of one's health and this will have a positive impact on one's education. Adequate nutrition plays an important role during school age to ensure these children achieve their full or optimal growth, development and health potential. Weight is often a problem, triggering an increase in the prevalence of obesity and the emergence of eating disorders (malnutrition). Research Objectives : Knowing the Relationship Between Feeding Patterns and Nutritional Status in Children Aged 11-12 Years at SDN 04 Sepanjang Jaya Bekasi City in 2023 Research Methods : The research method used is quantitative with cross-sectional analytic research. The population in this study were children aged 11-12 years in grades 5 and 6 at SDN 04 Sepanjang Jaya, Bekasi City, consisting of 66 people.

Family education is the main education for children because the family has an important role in forming a child's disciplined character. The approach used is not always in the form of punishment, but in other ways, for example by modeling good behavior, inviting children to make agreements and carry them out, etc., implementing clear and consistent house rules, etc. Parents themselves play an important role in shaping children's disciplined character as educators, role models, motivators and supervisors. The agreement made is: Parental parenting styles also have an influence on the development of children's discipline. The method used in this research is using a library research approach (Library Research) with qualitative methods. Thus, family education is a determining factor in the formation of a child's disciplined character

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar os fatores que influenciam a transferência de dióxido de carbono em um sistema que integra uma membrana de oxigenação em série com terapia de substituição renal contínua com alto teor de bicarbonato em animais hipercápnicos. Métodos Em um ambiente experimental, induzimos lesão renal aguda grave e hipercapnia em cinco porcos Landrace fêmeas. Em seguida, iniciamos terapia de substituição renal contínua com alto teor de bicarbonato (40mEq/L) com uma membrana de oxigenação em série para manter o pH acima de 7,25. Em intervalos de 1 hora, 6 horas e 12 horas após o início da terapia de substituição renal contínua, realizamos uma titulação padronizada do fluxo de gás de varredura para quantificar a transferência de dióxido de carbono. Avaliamos os fatores associados à transferência de dióxido de carbono através da membrana pulmonar com um modelo linear misto. Resultados Realizamos 20 procedimentos de titulação do fluxo de gás de varredura, produzindo 84 medições de transferência de dióxido de carbono. A análise multivariada revelou associações entre os seguintes itens (coeficientes ± erros padrão): temperatura central (+7,8 ± 1,6 °C, p < 0,001), pressão parcial pré-membrana de dióxido de carbono (+0,2 ± 0,1mmHg, p < 0,001), nível de hemoglobina (+3,5 ± 0,6g/dL, p < 0,001), fluxo de gás de varredura (+6,2 ± 0,2L/minuto, p < 0,001) e saturação de oxigênio (-0,5% ± 0,2%, p = 0,019). Entre essas variáveis, e dentro das faixas fisiológicas avaliadas, o fluxo do gás de varredura foi o principal fator modificável que influenciou a eficácia da remoção de dióxido de carbono de baixo fluxo sanguíneo. Conclusão O fluxo do gás de varredura é a principal variável relacionada à remoção de dióxido de carbono durante a terapia de substituição renal contínua com um alto nível de bicarbonato acoplado a um oxigenador. Outras variáveis moduladoras da transferência de dióxido de carbono incluíram o nível de hemoglobina, a saturação de oxigênio, a pressão parcial de dióxido de carbono e a temperatura central. Esses resultados devem ser interpretados como exploratórios para informar outros estudos experimentais ou clínicos bem planejados.

We present the first results of the magnetic field dependence of the longitudinal nuclear magnetic relaxation of anion-cation pair of ionic liquids (Li+-ionogels) confined within a silica-like mesoporous matrices designed for lithium batteries. These results are in favour of a very-correlated dynamical motion of the anion-cation pair within the solid and disordered silica matrix.
fast Monte Carlo sampler for NMR T2 inversion
Authors: Prange Michael , Song Yi-Qiao

The inversion of noisy NMR T2 echo data into a T2 spectrum is widely recognized as an inherently non-unique process [1]. One approach to quantifying this uncertainty is to use Monte Carlo sampling. Uncorrelated measurement noise combine with the non-negativity constraint on T2 spectral values to yield spectra following a non-negative normal distribution. There are two published samplers for truncated normal distributions [2], of which nonnegative normal samples are a subset, but we show that these converge too slowly to be practical for the T2 spectral inversion problem. This is because they are based on Gibbs’ samplers that update the spectral estimate just one T2 component at a time. When all of the spectral elements are fixed but one, that one has little room for change without violating the noise constraints on the data. Thus each spectral sample can only be slightly different from the preceding sample, indicating a high degree of statistical correlation and slow convergence. Our solution is to simultaneously update two neighboring spectral components at a time, allowing changes due to one spectral component to be offset by changes in its neighbor. Central to this improvement is a fast 2D slice sampler for non-negative normal distributions. This improves convergence by more than two orders of magnitude. Such speedup allows routine Monte Carlo inversion of 1D NMR spectra, and opens the door for the inversion of 2D NMR spectra.
