The cros¬s-sectional study was conducted at four peasants’ associations (PAs) in Arero district of Borana zone, namely Halona, Fuldowa, Silala and Renji. The seroprevallence and potential risk factors of Brucellosis in sheep and goats in study area were determined using serological tests. Serum samples were collected from 238 unvaccinated and apparently healthy sheep and goats. The samples were serologically examined by Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) for first screening test and confirmed by Indirect-ELISA. Almost half of samples that screened positive with RBPT became negative after confirmation by an indirect ELISA test. Out of 238 sera extracted from sheep and goat in the study area, 18(7.56%) animals were found to be positive by RBPT screening. Of all serum samples tested positive by indirect ELISA and confirmed by retest, 8(3.7%) animals were found to be positive. By direct ELISA, of 183 sera from caprine, 6(2.5%) animals were positive, 177(74%) animals were negative; 2 (0.84%) of 55 sera from ovine brucellosis were positive. The seroprevalence of sheep and goats in the Arero district did not show significance among peasant associations (χ2 = 2.070, P value=0.558), age groups (χ2 = 0.531), P value=0.392) and between species (χ2 = 0.017, P value=0.897). The disease was prevalent in both female (4, 1.68%) and male (4, 1.7%), but was more prevalent in male (11% within male population) than female (2% within female population), showing a very high significance with p-value at 0.005 and Chi-Square at 7.842. These positive animals may pose a potential risk to both animals and humans in the area. Therefore, attention should be paid to the certification of breeding bucks or rams to reduce the spread of disease in animals and humans.

Exploring Orthosis Designs for 3D Printing Applying the Finite Element Approach: Study of Different Materials and Loading Conditions
Authors: Umer Usama , Mian Syed Hammad , Moiduddin Khaja , Alkhalefah Hisham
Published: June 2023

Three-dimensional (3D) printing, especially using fused deposition modeling, is becoming more and more popular in the medical sector because of its exceptional advantages. While it has been used for prototyping, 3D printing has not yet been completely explored to produce a functional product. The key causes are the abundance of 3D printing materials and the lack of a comprehensive study outlining the design process. Consequently, this paper describes a reverse engineering (RE) design approach based on data acquisition utilizing laser scanning and splint design from the acquired point cloud data. This study also focuses on the evaluation of various wrist orthosis/splint designs and materials using finite element (FE) analysis in order to improve upon the conventional approach. Sixty FE analysis simulations are undertaken in flexion–extension and radial–ulnar wrist movements to investigate the displacements and the stresses. The splint is then fabricated utilizing the material and thickness that have been specified by FE analysis. The major goals of this study are to examine the RE design methodology, explore various materials, and assess the viability of 3D printing. The polylactic acid (PLA) hand splint has proven to be the sturdiest in terms of average displacements when compared to the other materials, followed by polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polypropylene, and thermoplastic polyurethanes. According to simulation data, the PLA splint has 38.6%, 38.8%, 38.5%, and 38.7% less displacement in the major loading direction in flexion, extension, radial, and ulnar, respectively, than the ABS splint. Moreover, the PLA-based hand splint has a peak stress value below the yield strength of PLA, rendering it reliable for patients to wear. Also, it turns out that PETG and ABS behave rather similarly. Furthermore, it has been shown that a balanced approach can reduce material use and building time. For instance, employing PLA and a thickness of 2 mm results in reduced material costs without compromising the effectiveness of the splint. As a result, choosing the right material and splint thickness can help the 3D-printed hand splint perform better.
Mercury Pollution: Dangers and Treatment
Authors: Al-Zahra Gabar Gassim Fattima
Published: June 2023

Mercury (Hg) is a toxic heavy metal with interesting properties such as silvery-white liquid at room temperatures, volatile, a poor conductor of heat, but a fair conductor of electricity. Mercury contamination in soil, water, and the air are associated with potential toxicity to humans and ecosystems. The nervous system is very sensitive to all forms of mercury. Exposure to high levels of any type of mercury can permanently damage the brain, kidneys, and developing fetus. Mercury can build up in the bodies of fish in the form of methyl mercury(organic mercury) which is very poisoning and largely linked to eating seafood, mainly fish. The mechanism of the mercury poisoning treatment involves adsorption, oxidation, and reduction processes. The major aim of these technologies is to separate mercury from the contaminated media or transform toxic mercury species into less toxic ones.
La cosmovisión y la abstracción en los procesos de aprendizaje del diseño arquitectónico

Published: June 2023

Entre los diversos ámbitos profesionales vinculados al diseño, las disciplinas de diseño gráfico y arquitectura se relacionan de manera estrecha. A pesar de ello, no es todavía frecuente en nuestra sociedad tomar en cuenta los atributos que generen su óptima funcionalidad, quizás en parte debido a la incapacidad de visualizar por parte de los profesionistas implicados, así como por los dueños y los responsables del mantenimiento de dichas construcciones, la integración de estos conjuntos como un todo. De igual modo, encontramos entre ellas a personas con necesidades de explorar su creatividad en las formas implicadas, con el fin de trascender tanto en su entorno como en su sociedad, al desplazar la comunicación gráfica de dicha construcción, al último nivel de su importancia. La comunicación gráfica en la ciudad es un elemento necesario, pues permite orientar con mayor sencillez a sus ciudadanos a su destino dentro de la mancha urbana.
Türkiye’de siyasal reklamcılık uygulamaları: 2014 Cumhurbaşkanlığı seçimleri örneğinde gazete reklamları üzerine bir inceleme
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Ömer Cenap , TAŞCIOĞLU Raci
Published: June 2023

Türkiye’de yakın zamana kadar meclis tarafından gerçekleştirilen Cumhurbaşkanı seçiminin, 2007 yılında yapılan referandumla birlikte halkoyuyla yapılması kararlaştırılmıştır. Bu gelişme, Cumhurbaşkanı adaylarının seçim kampanyası yürütmelerine ve bu kapsamda bir tutundurma tekniği olarak siyasal reklamcılık uygulamalarını kullanmalarına neden olmuştur. Cumhurbaşkanı seçim sürecinde yürütülen kampanyalardaki siyasal reklamcılığın konu edinildiği bu çalışmada, 10 Ağustos 2014 tarihinde yapılan seçimlerde aday olan liderlerin kampanyaları kapsamında yaygın yazılı basında yer alan gazetelerde kullandıkları siyasal reklamların incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Betimleyici bir yaklaşıma sahip olması, örnekleme dâhil edilen gazete sayısının ve haliyle ulaşılan reklam sayısının fazlalığı -literatürde karşılaşılan benzer çalışmalara oranla- bu çalışmayı özgün kılmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında Cumhuriyet, Hürriyet, Sabah, Yeni Akit ve Yeni Şafak gazeteleri amaçlı örnekleme yöntemiyle örnekleme dâhil edilmiştir. Seçimler için adaylık son başvuru tarihi olan 3 Temmuz 2014 ile seçim tarihi olan 10 Ağustos 2014 tarih aralığında söz konusu gazetelerde arşiv taraması yapılarak, seçimlerin iki önemli adayı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ve Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu ile ilgili belirlenen toplam 10 siyasal reklam nitelik içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Yapılan inceleme neticesinde; Aday İhsanoğlu’nun siyasal reklamında birlik ve beraberliğe gönderme yapılarak üretim vurgulanmışken, aday Erdoğan’ın siyasal reklamlarında ise partiden ziyade adayın ön planda tutulduğu, birçok yeniliğin, dönüşümün ve değişimin onun sayesinde olduğu vurgusu yapıldığı, yatırımlar ve yapılması planlanan vaatleri içerdiği görülmüştür.

Bu çalışmanın temel odak noktası; Anayasa Mahkemesi bireysel başvuru kararlarının kişiler, kurumlar ve idare üzerindeki bağlayıcılığını irdelemektir. Ayrıca verilen kararlara ilişkin uygulama ve ifalardan ve tatbik sürecinde ortaya çıkan problemler üzerinde durulacaktır. Nitekim 1982 Anayasası’nda 2010 yılında yapılan değişiklikle birlikte iç hukuk yollarının tüketilmesi ile Anayasa Mahkemesi’ne kişilerin bireysel başvuru yolu ile ana hak ve özgürlüklerini savunmasına olanak tanınmıştır. Ancak günümüze kadar geçen süreçte Anayasa Mahkemesince verilmiş bireysel başvurulara yönelik kararlarda idarece kararların bazı durumlarda herhangi bir sebeple ya kısmen ya da tümüyle uygulanmadığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada; ilgili literatür ve yargısal içtihat kararlarından yararlanılmak suretiyle bu problemler üzerine bir değerlendirme yapılmaya çalışılmıştır.

Published: June 2023

The cattle industry in Indonesia is very important because it can provide an adequate supply of meat for the community. However, the cattle industry in Indonesia still faces various challenges, such as increasing production costs and low productivity. One way to overcome these challenges is to feed cattle with technology. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of the physical composition of beef carcasses on the selling price of beef fed with technological feed. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected using observation and literature study techniques. The results showed that the physical composition of cattle carcasses affects the selling price of beef. Cattle with heavier carcasses and a higher percentage of meat tend to have a higher selling price. In addition, cattle with a lower percentage of fat also tend to have a higher selling price. These findings suggest that the use of feed technology can improve the physical composition of cattle carcasses and increase the selling value of beef

Authors: Pujiningsih Diana
Published: June 2023

Normatively, in Indonesia the registration of a marriage is mandatory. Although the existence of the marriage law umbrella, namely Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage (which has later been amended by Law No. 16 of 2019) has been  relatively long, in reality there are still many who violate it. One of them is that there is still a phenomenon of unrecorded marriage (sirri marriage) in the community. This of course has an impact on legal certainty for children from the results of the sirri marriage. Therefore, this study discusses the juridical tijnauan regarding the position of children in marriage serially based on Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law.

Authors:   Department of Management Studies, University of Barishal, Ullah Md. Mamin , Kabir Md. Rezaul ,   Institute of Business Administration, University of Dhaka
Published: June 2023

Despite the universal acceptance of gender equality as an important policy objective for human development and an important aspect of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), inequalities persist in almost all socio-economic segments, including labor and the labor market. Gender disparity remains a common barrier to sustainable development, varying in severity across countries and regions. The issue of gender inequality thus remains a hot-button topic. This policy research paper critically analyzes the different dimensions of gender inequality in the South Asian labor market. As a part of the methodological approach, the study reviews the concurrent working papers, technical notes, strategic dialogues, policy papers, conference proceedings, relevant books and journals, and e-materials. The study has found gender gaps in labor force participation, occupational segregation, and wage patterns in South Asian labor economies. Several policy options are recommended, at both the country and regional levels, to reduce the persistent gender gap in the labor market to a minimum level. This study will primarily benefit academics, researchers, labor economists, and policymakers.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON WHITE-COLLAR WORKING WOMEN IN BANGLADESH
Authors:   Institute of Business Administration (IBA), University of Dhaka, Saqui Fatematuz Zahra , Mehjabeen Melita
Published: June 2023

The paper highlights the impact of COVID-19 on some key financial and career factors among white-collar working women in Bangladesh, a demographic segment often overlooked among research circles in the country. Various studies have established the differential impact of COVID-19 globally, focusing on women’s job loss and career, financial, and psychological impact. The COVID literature in Bangladesh has tried to understand the crisis through the lens of health and economics, focusing on blue-collar workers primarily, the bottom of the pyramids, other marginalized communities, or women entrepreneurs. This paper fills the research gap on white-collar working women in the private sector in the COVID narrative. Data was collected through online survey responses from 131 white-collar working women from the private sector working full-time before the pandemic hit. The variables considered include financial impact (using job loss as an indicator), income impact and savings hit, career impact (as reflected in the preference of organization type), resignation tendency along with the reasons, and financial outlook (measured with the help of financial confidence and perceived job retention during the pandemic). The study finds that household income and savings were impacted for these women; however, there was not much job loss in contrast to the literature. The increased workload at the office and home had further exacerbated their work-life imbalance, especially for mothers. The study reveals interesting findings that women who participated in the study remain optimistic about the private sector’s suitability as a career choice post-COVID-19. The COVID impact on these women varies with their motherhood status and hierarchical level with statistical significance. The paper highlights the need for future research on white-collar working women beyond the private sector and formal organizations.

Published: June 2023

This study has been conducted to identify the relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, and customer loyalty and corporate image of the banking sector of Dhaka city. A quantitative, descriptive approach was undertaken to consider the measurement model, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Using the convenience sampling method, 219 responses were collected. The data were analyzed using Smart-PLS 2.0 software to investigate the hypothesized relationships. A modified SERVQUAL model has been used to determine customer satisfaction and a positive relationship between both customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, and customer loyalty and corporate image has been found. Three of the four dimensions positively affect customer satisfaction where responsiveness has the highest impact. However, no positive influence of tangibles on the satisfaction of customers is found. All in all, this research provides a theoretical contribution by extending the practical knowledge focusing on the relationship between customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and corporate image in the banking industry. Besides, this study has also shown a concrete implication to the managers and policymakers of banks to comprehend what customers expect and what leads to their loyalty and amplifies the corporate image.

Published: June 2023

O artigo apresenta os principais resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a relação virtuosa entre federalismo de cooperação, municipalização e universalização da educação básica. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida entre agosto de 2014 e maio de 2021. Além da análise documental, o estudo envolveu uma extensa sistematização e análise dos principais indicadores educacionais disponíveis em inúmeras bases de dados nacionais. O estudo evidenciou, entre outros aspectos, como o federalismo de cooperação e as políticas de municipalização incidiram na universalização da educação básica. A Constituição Federal de 1988 redesenhou o Estado brasileiro e elevou os Municípios à condição de entes federados e autônomos, passando a ter autonomia para organizar os sistemas municipais de ensino. O federalismo de cooperação redefiniu as competências e as atribuições da União, dos Estados e dos Municípios. Na educação básica ocorreu um crescimento exponencial de matrículas nas redes municipais. Em 2019, os municípios já respondiam por 48% do total das matrículas e por 59% das matrículas das redes públicas. O federalismo de cooperação e a municipalização têm contribuído para a elevação dos anos de estudos do ensino obrigatório e gratuito (que passou a ser de 14 anos, dos 4 aos 17 anos de idade) e também da frequência escolar, que em 2019, alcançou 94,1% entre crianças de 4 e 5 anos; 98,0% entre 6 a 14 anos e, 92,5% entre 15 a 17 anos. O FUNDEB e o CAQ nacional impulsionam a construção da equidade no financiamento da educação básica.

In financial applications, understanding the asset correlation structure is crucial to tasks such as asset pricing, portfolio optimisation, risk management, and asset allocation. Thus, modelling the volatilities and correlations of multivariate stock market returns is of great importance. This paper proposes the iterated filtering algorithm for estimating the bivariate stochastic volatility model of Yu and Meyer. The iterated filtering method is a frequentist-based approach that utilises particle filters and can be applied to estimating the parameters of non-linear or non-Gaussian state-space models. The paper presents an empirical example that demonstrates the way in which the proposed estimation method might be used to estimate the correlation between the returns of two assets: Standard and Poor’s 500 index and the price of gold in US dollars. This is accompanied by a simulation study that proves the validity of the approach.

Sample size estimation is a necessary and crucial step in clinical trial research. Statistical requirements, limited patient availability and high financial risk of a clinical trial necessitate the proper calculation of this measure. The aim of this paper is to discuss the reasons why the estimation of the sample size is important and, based on the obtained results, to show how this process may be completed in selected cases. Stochastic simulations based on the Monte Carlo methods approach are applied. Therefore, new challenges facing this area of research are mentioned.

The aim of this paper is to present the results of experiments relating to voting methods based on the bounded rationality theory. The research demonstrated that a positive nudge changes the voting results. The study focused on three methods of voting: the Borda Count method, the Condorcet winner method and the anti-manipulation method. In a laboratory experiment, the subjects were asked to select the best musician. They were to manipulate their voting so that a predetermined winner is chosen. In the first voting, the subjects did not receive any a priori information, while in the second voting, some a priori information was provided, i.e. the true, objective ranking of the musicians. What followed was another voting. It was initially assumed that the participants would manipulate their voting the same way as in the first voting. The results, however, were different. The obtained second ranking of musicians was closest to the true, objective ranking, thus proving that the manipulation effect was neutralised by the a priori positive information about the true, objective order.

Aktualisht shkolla në kompleksitetin e vet, mësuesit dhe nxënësit shqiptarë, prindërit, të marrë së bashku, kërkojnë zgjidhjen e disa    problemeve si rrjedhojë e përmbysjeve të konceptimeve bashkëkohore në kontekst të ri demokratik. Shoqëria shqiptare e bashkë me të adoleshentët, pas viteve ’90, u ndeshën me dukuri fare të panjohura, ose vetëm të dëgjuara.Në shoqërinë shqiptare, si në vendet post komuniste, vërehen shumë dallime e ndryshime në qëndrimet ndaj vlerave dhe kaheve formuese  të shkollës. Pikërisht, prej kësaj fryme e qëndrimi tjetër ndaj shkollës e shkollimit, janë ndikuar dhe janë prekur edhe qëndrimet e nxënësve nga njëra anë dhe, në anën tjetër ato të mësuesve dhe të prindërve. Kushtet e reja bënë që shoqëria të përballej me këto zhvillime, të bënte  kujdes, nëse duhet bërë diçka, por pa treguar se ç’duhet bërë. Shoqëria e sotme shqiptare ka shpallur përkushtimin serioz për të qenë një shoqëri demokratike dhe humane, që përmban si përkushtimin, ashtu edhe përgjegjësinë për secilin individ, organizëm apo institucion që bën pjesë në të. Në këto kushte, ai që përforcon detyrimin dhe rrit përgjegjësinë, është vetë realiteti shqiptar me ndjeshmërinë e nevojshme në këtë rrafsh. Në shoqërinë shqiptare, si në vendet post komuniste, vërehen shumë dallime e ndryshime në qëndrimet ndaj vlerave dhe kaheve formuese  të shkollës. Pikërisht, prej kësaj fryme e qëndrimi tjetër ndaj shkollës e shkollimit, janë ndikuar dhe janë prekur edhe qëndrimet e nxënësve nga njëra anë dhe, në anën tjetër ato të mësuesve dhe të prindërve. Në kërkim të këtyre rrugëve, shkolla jonë ka veçuar si të rëndësishme misionin social e formimin qytetar të nxënësve. Ndaj veçimi dhe vlerësimi  i edukimit të të drejtave të njeriut në shkollë, nuk shihet si rastësi.
Burimet historike nën këndvështrimin e rilindasve dhe intelektualëve shqiptarë
Authors: Nuro Kujtim

Rilindësit dhe intelektualët shqiptarë gjithmonë kanë mbështetur mendimin se një popull që nuk ka historinë e vet, “zihet si i vdekur”. Njëkohësisht, në këtë kohë, edhe qarqet politike dhe kulturore të Europës, kur po shihnin se rënia e Perandorisë Osmane ishte shumë e afërt, filluan ta rrisnin gjithnjë e më tepër interesin e tyre për kombet dhe kombësitë që ishin nën sundimin e saj. Ky interesim, veçanërisht për popujt e Ballkanit, ishte për territoret, por njëkohësisht edhe për gjuhën, historinë dhe kulturën e tyre. Udhëtarët, kronikanët, historianët, albanologët e shekullit XIX dhe të fillimeve të shekullit XX, me shënimet, me dokumentet e grumbulluara dhe publikimin e tyre, iu bënë të njohur qarqeve europiane, botën e jetës  shqiptare. Këtë ndihmesë, rilindësit dhe intelektualët shqiptarë e çmuan  dhe e vlerësuan shumë.Duke u mbështetur në të dhënat e deritanishme, idenë e rëndësisë së  krijimit të arkivave nga rilindësit shqiptarë e ka theksuar Jeronim de Rada.  Këtë mendim të shprehur prej tij, e gjejmë të shprehur në letrën e Dora d’ Istrias dërguar atij, më 14 nëntor 1866. Kjo letër shërbeu dhe si një thirrje që iu bë të gjithë rilindësve dhe intelektualëve shqiptarë për t’i kthyer sytë ndaj kësaj trashëgimie të pasur të kulturës shqiptare. Rezultat i kërkimeve të vazhdueshme në këto arkiva ka qenë edhe gjetja e disa dokumenteve, të cilat janë monumente të kulturës shqiptare. Në vitin 1740, Gjon Kazazi, kryepeshkop i Shkupit, gjatë një vizite në Romë, në  arkivin e Propagandës së Fides, zbuloi dokumentin e parë të gjuhës shqipe, “Mesharin” e Gjon Buzukut. Ekzistenca e këtij dokumenti u la në harresë për shumë kohë, derisa e zbuloi studiuesi i njohur arbëresh, Pal Skiroi, në vitin 1909, pas shumë kërkimesh në Bibliotekën e Vatikanit. Ky rizbulim ishte një ngjarje shumë e rëndësishme për historinë e gjuhës shqipe.  Rilindësit shqiptarë për ruajtjen e dokumenteve duhet të përballonin edhe pengesa e vështirësi të shumta, si ndjekjet, burgimet dhe persekutimet e pushtuesit osman.
Kontributi i tarikateve islame në komitetin "Mbrojtja kombëtare e Kosovës"

Published: June 2023

Mbarimi i Luftës së Parë Botërore shtroi para popullit shqiptar problemin e ekzistencës së shtetit të pavarur shqiptar, demokratizimin e tij, çlirimin e Kosovës dhe viseve të tjera shqiptare nën mbretërinë serbo- kroate-sllovene. Luftakontibut, trakta e Parë Botërore i shkaktoi Shqipërisë shumë plagë të rënda. Vendi pati shkatërrime dhe humbje të mëd  ha në njerëz, ndërsa  ekonomia u dëmtua shumë rëndë. Shumë njerëz vdiqën jo vetëm nga zjarri    i luftës, por edhe nga uria, si pasojë e dëmtimit të bujqësisë dhe të blegtorisë.  Fshatra të tëra u dogjën dhe u shkretuan. Në këto kushte rritet lëvizja për të shpëtuar vendin nga copëtimi i ri dhe për bashkimin kombëtar. Andaj një grup patriotësh vendosën që të angazhohen në lëvizjen për çlirim dhe bashkim kombëtar, me qëllim që ta rikthenin shpresën dhe vullnetin e popullsisë shqiptare brenda kufirit në Kosovë, për të mos u dorëzuar.

Krahas kësaj, ata donin që të përcillnin mesazhin edhe një herë para fuqive europiane, se populli shqiptar nuk dorëzohet para të drejtës së tij për liri dhe pavarësi. Si rezultat i krijimit të rrethanave të tilla, ata u angazhuan që të krijonin një organizatë politike për t’iu paraprirë atyre situatave kritike e të ndërlikuara. Më saktë, më 1 maj 1918, u themelua Komiteti “Mbrojtja Kombëtare e Kosovës” (MKK). Qëllimi kryesor i këtij Komiteti ishte që të vendoste një Shqipëri të pavarur, të përjashtuar nga çdo lloj protektorati, të shpëtonte Kosovën dhe ta bashkonte me Shqipërinë.

Kjo synohej të arrihej përmes kryengritjes së armatosur dhe me anë të memorandumeve dhe botimeve të ndryshme, njëkohësisht përmes një fushate energjike kundër pushtuesit italian që kërkonte t’i impononte Shqipërisë një lloj protektorati6. Ajo gjithashtu kishte si qëllim edhe mbledhjen dhe dërgimin në kryesinë e organizatës të statistikave të popullsisë dhe të vendbanimeve të saj, të protestave e promemorieve që u drejtoheshin përfaqësuesve të Fuqive të Mëdha të kohës, personaliteteve shtetërore, njerëzve përparimtarë në vende të ndryshme.
