Factors Affecting Students' Subjective Well-being: The Relationship between Religion, Cultural Intelligence, Personality Traits and Subjective Well-being (SWB)
Authors: Wen Chou I
Published: January 2020

Objective – More and more international students choose to study in international programs in Thai universities. While considering the development of international programs, some schools tend to ignore the psychological pressure and happiness of foreign students during their time in the program. I noticed that some students have mental problems which are unable to be resolved.
Methodology/Technique – This paper will analyze the factors of subjective well-being in International Chinese college students, including the relationship between cultural intelligence, personality traits, and subjective well-being (SWB).
Findings – This paper concludes that neuroticism has a significant negative impact on International Students' SWB, while openness to experience has a positive impact. Behavioral cultural intelligence has a positive effect on SWB, whilst motivational cultural intelligence has no significant effect.

The Effect of Human Resource Practice, Perceived Organizational Support and Work-Life Balance in Enhancing Employee’s Affective Commitment
Authors: Luturlean Bachruddin Saleh , Prasetio Arif Partono , Saragih Romat
Published: January 2020

Objective – Employees’ perception of HR practice is crucial because it can affect individual and organizational outcomes. HR practices may influence the perception employees have of the support that is available to them from the organization, the work-life balance, and the organization’s commitment to their employees. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of perceived HR practices on affective commitment. This study also explores the role of perceived organizational support in mediating work-life balance.
Methodology/Technique – This survey was conducted between February – May 2019 using 178 employees ranked as officer (with no managerial position) from various organizations. The mediation analysis using SPSS and Macro Process was used to identify the relationship between the variables.
Findings – The results indicate that employee perception of effective HR practice influences employee affective commitment. Further, perceived organizational support and work-life balance can mediate the relationship between those variables. However, the mediation only works if the mediator stands as a separate variable. When both mediators are put together, they do not mediate the relationship.
Novelty – Studies concerning human resource (HR) practice and employee work behaviour remains scarce in Indonesia. The practical benefit from this study is to contribute to the knowledge of organizations concerning the implementation of effective HR practice in order to build a sense of supportive and balance in both work and private life. Additionally, both mediators may contribute to the development of affective commitment.
Type of Paper: Empirical.

Política social educativa y violencia escolar: brechas en su atención
Authors: Cala-Montoya Caridad
Published: January 2020

The present work sends a critical analysis to the Cuban educational social policy, in the treatment of school violence, with a view to its improvement and to make visible this problem. The proposed research takes triangulation as a methodological strategy and assumes the basic secondary education of the Santiago de Cuba municipality as empirical references for its development. From the analysis of the results it is highlighted that, although the country is on a clear path towards the visibility of this scourge, the nullity of the term in the ministerial decrees and resolutions of the educational policy favors its ignorance. In it, the tangential approaches to the subject are limited to students' antisocial behaviors and their contexts of vulnerability; leaving out the rest of the actors involved in its construction. Likewise, in the development of strategies for their attention, the alienating participation of retail groups distant from school reality tends to prevail, and they swarm fissures in the training guidelines that are implemented.

Vliv adaptace aktivovaného kalu na biodegradaci antibiotik a akumulaci genů resistence
Authors: Kapríšek Ivan , Zachová Jitka , Vejmelková Dana , Sýkora Vladimír
Published: January 2020

Aktivovaný kal na čistírnách odpadních vod je neustále vystavován nízkým koncentracím antimikrobiálních látek a dalších léčiv. To vyvolává otázku, jak mikroorganismy k těmto látkám na čistírně odpadních vod přistupují. Zda jsou schopny se v tomto prostředí na tyto látky adaptovat, degradovat je, případně je využít jako substrát. Nebo jestli jsou tyto látky aktivovaným kalem opomíjeny.

Pro posouzení adaptace aktivovaného kalu byla využita metoda PCR pro sledování genů resistence a testy biologické rozložitelnosti. Pro testy byl využit aktivovaný kal z ČOV a kal adaptovaný v laboratorních SBR modelech při koncentracích antibiotik 500 ng∙l−1 a 500 μg∙l−1. Biologická rozložitelnost byla posuzována dle normy ČSN ISO 14593. Testované látky byly sledovány pomocí skupinového stanovení celkového anorganického uhlíku. Jako testované látky byly vybrány: benzylpenicilin, ampicilin, streptomycin, erythromycin, chloramfenikol, sulfamethoxazol a trimetoprim.

Aktivovaný kal z čistírny odpadních vod neměl vyvinutou aktivitu k biodegradaci testovaných antibiotik. Je pravděpodobné, že vysoké zatížení snadno biologicky rozložitelným substrátem a krátké zdržení odpadní vody na ČOV, vede k tomu, že mikroorganismy aktivovaného kalu nejsou nuceny tyto látky aktivně utilizovat a brání se jim pouze tvorbou obranných mechanismů pomocí genů antibiotické resistence. Nízké koncentrace antibiotik v SBR modelech vytvářely selekční tlak na mikroorganismy a podněcovaly šíření genů antibiotické resistence.

English

Activated sludge in wastewater treatment plants is constantly exposed to low concentrations of antimicrobials and other drugs. This raises the question of how microorganisms approach to these substances in the sewage treatment plant. Whether they can adapt, degrade, or use antibiotics as a substrate in this environment or the activated sludge neglects these substances.

To assess the adaptation of activated sludge, the PCR method for monitoring antibiotic resistance genes and biodegradability tests were used. These tests were carried out with activated sludge from WWTP and sludge adapted in laboratory SBR models at 500 ng∙l−1 and 500 μg∙l−1 of chosen antibiotics. Their biodegradability was assessed according to ČSN ISO 14593. The tested substances were monitored by group determination of total inorganic carbon. The chosen substances were: benzylpenicillin, ampicillin, streptomycin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim.

Activated sludge had no developed activity for biodegradation of tested antibiotics. It is likely that the high load of readily biodegradable substrate and the short retention of the wastewater at the WWTP lead to the activated sludge not being forced to actively utilize these substances and will only prevent from them by forming defence mechanisms using antibiotic resistance genes. Low concentrations of antibiotics in SBR models produced selective pressure on microorganisms and stimulated the spread of antibiotic resistance genes.
Posuzování recyklovaného betonu z hlediska jeho dopadu na životní prostředí
Authors: Pešta Jan , Pavlů Tereza , Mocová Klára Anna , Kočí Vladimír
Published: January 2020

Recyklací stavebního a demoličního odpadu jsou produkovány materiály, které mohou být využity jako náhrada primárních surovin. Tyto recyklační procesy ale mohou být energeticky náročné, a proto je nutné posuzovat environmentální dopady takových procesů. Posuzovali jsme environmentální dopady recyklovaného betonového a cihelného kameniva a také environmentální dopady produktů s recyklovaným obsahem. Metoda Posuzování životního cyklu byla použita jako analytický nástroj pro vyhodnocení environmentálních dopadů recyklovaných materiálů (1 t betonového a cihelného kameniva), výrobků (1 m3 betonových směsí s obsahem recyklátu) a konstrukcí (tvarovek a základů budov). Také byly diskutovány vlivy na životní prostředí jako je ekotoxicita betonových výrobků, následky omezení skládkování a karbonatace. Prezentujeme výsledky posuzování environmentálních dopadů s cílem ukázat, jaký dopad má vybraná funkce recyklovaného produktu. Navrhujeme posuzovat environmentální dopady recyklovaného kameniva s ohledem na jeho použití v budoucnu.
-------------
Recycling of construction and demolition waste produce materials, which can be used as primary resources replacement. However, these recycling processes can be very energy consuming and therefore environmental impacts of such processes should be considered. We assessed environmental impacts of recycled concrete and brick aggregates and also environmental impacts of products with recycled content. The Life Cycle Assessment method was used as analytical tool for evaluating environmental impacts of recycled materials (1 t of concrete or brick aggregates), products (1 m3 recycled concrete mixtures) and constructions (blocks and building foundations). Also, various effects on environment were discussed such as ecotoxicity of concrete products, the consequence of landfilling limitations and carbonation effect. We present the results of environmental impacts assessments to show, what influence the chosen function of recycled product has. We suggest to assess environmental impacts of recycled aggregates considering their future function.
Process Approach as Skill Enhancer in Writing Recount Text
Authors: Mustofa Ali
Published: January 2020

The process writing approach treats writing as a process rather than a completed product. Writing studies are conducted as part of the process due to the completion of the written text. In writing classes, this approach tends to focus on the student, and the teacher only acts as a guide. The process writing approach includes actions that occur when a written text is created. This research analyzed the benefits of the process approach as a teachers’ approach in order to enhance student writing skills in recount text. The researcher used the literature review and some of the previous research which has been conducted before as the measurements toward the process approach could improve student writing skill in recount text whether they understood the material which given by the teacher or not. As a result of the literature review and the previous research, the researcher found a significant influence of the process writing approach on writing progress and anxiety mainly in recount text. Based on this finding for written language research, the use of a process writing approach is recommended.
Low-Complexity Sub-Optimal Cell ID Estimation in NB-IoT System
Authors: Savaux Vincent , Kanj Matthieu
Published: January 2020

This paper deals with cell ID estimation in narrowband-internet of things (NB-IoT) system. The cell ID value is carried by
the narrowband secondary synchronization signal (NSSS). We suggest a low-complexity sub-optimal estimator, based on the auto-
correlation of the received observations. It is up to thirty times less complex than the optimal maximum likelihood (ML) estimator
based on cross-correlation. In addition, we present three methods allowing the receiver to take advantage of the different repetitions
of the NSSS. They are based on a hard decision after every estimation, a soft combination of the different observations of the NSSS,
and an hybrid mix between the two firsts, respectively. The advantages and drawbacks of the presented techniques are stated, and a
performance analysis is proposed, which is further discussed through simulations results. It is shown the that different methods reach
the performance of ML after several repetitions for a lower overall complexity.
Collatz Dynamics is Partitioned by Residue Class Regularly
Authors: Ren Wei
Published: January 2020

We propose Reduced Collatz Conjecture that is equivalent to Collatz

Conjecture, which states that every positive integer can return to

an integer less than it, instead of 1. Reduced Collatz Conjecture

should be easier because some properties are presented in reduced

dynamics, rather than in original dynamics (e.g., ratio and period).

Reduced dynamics is a computation sequence from starting integer to

the first integer less than it, and original dynamics is a

computation sequence from starting integer to 1. Reduced dynamics is

a component of original dynamics. We denote dynamics of x as a

sequence of either computations in terms of ``I'' that represents

(3*x+1)/2 and ``O'' that represents x/2. Here 3*x+1 and x/2 are

combined together, because 3*x+1 is always even and followed by x/2.

We formally prove that all positive integers are partitioned into

two halves and either presents ``I'' or ``O'' in next ongoing

computation. More specifically, (1) if any positive integer x that

is i module $2^t$ (i is an odd integer) is given, then the first t

computations (each one is either ``I'' or ``O'' corresponding to

whether current integer is odd or even) will be identical with that

of i. (2) If current integer after t computations (in terms of ``I''

or ``O'') is less than x, then reduced dynamics of x is available.

Otherwise, the residue class of x (namely, i module $2^t$) can be

partitioned into two halves (namely, i module $2^{t+1}$ and $i+2^t$

module $2^{t+1}$), and either half presents ``I'' or ``O'' in

intermediately forthcoming (t+1)-th computation.

Il paesaggio di margine ad ovest del nucleo urbano diviene così un caso di studio per passare dalle applicazioni alla ricerca di elementi teorico-metodologici. In tal senso emerge chiaramente l'importanza del pensiero progettuale come valore culturale essenziale per l'impostazione di politiche di conservazione attiva, recupero e modificazione del paesaggio.
Liberalismo, democrazia, socialismo
Authors: Calabrò Carmelo
Published: January 2020

In recent years the leader of "Giustizia e Libertà" has been the focus of a renewed and extensive attention. The author reconstructs the itinerary of Carlo Rosselli, conducting the theoretical analysis in the light of the complexity of the historic context. From the years of the Great War to the exile in France, intellectual meditation and political commitment are inextricably entwined threads in the career of the Florentine antifascist. In the attempt to pinpoint the key passages of this unquiet quest, the book traces the stages of an evolving thought. A thought that was matured through critical comparison with liberal theory and Marxist doctrine, found inspiration in English socialism and conceived opposition to the Fascist regime as the grounds for a project of progressive democracy.
Storia dell'alchimia
Authors: Califano Salvatore
Published: January 2020

Over the centuries, the evolution of alchemy has seen the overlapping of concepts that have paved the way for modern science. However, science has shown mystical and esoteric connotations for a long time, to the point that even alchemical processes and symbols would acquire abstruse and pretentious meanings, often without any connection with the purely chemical and physical processes. In this second edition, the volume is enriched with contents and images. It introduces the reader to the history of alchemy and its developments over the centuries, starting from the research of Chinese and Indian wisemen and of the first colonizers of Mesopotamia, to continue with the school of Alexandria and the innovative theories of the Ionian philosophers. Moreover, the volume illustrates in detail the birth of the concept of atom - which is at the basis of the conception of matter of the Magna Graecia's philosophers - and the subsequent philosophical vision of the world and of the ideas of Plato and Aristotle. The narration goes further with a broad description of the various contributions to the development of alchemy by Arab and Muslim alchemists, Scholastics and Humanists of the Middle Ages, encyclopaedia writers, modern alchemists, up to the contribution of the last imitators of the “Great Work”, which were active in Europe and especially in the United States and Latin America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
La dottrina costituzionale di Sieyès
Authors: Goldoni Marco
Published: January 2020

The reception and popularity of the work of Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès has gone through different and erratic phases. Nonetheless, in recent years there has been a remarkable revival of interest in the Abbé's thought. This book is intended to exploit this Sieyès-renaissance, proposing a reconstruction of the constitutional doctrine of the abbot in the light of the latest interpretative acquisitions. The guiding thread of the analysis is the acknowledgement that, underlying the main political-constitutional proposals of Sieyès, we can glimpse a profoundly rationalist philosophical substructure. After presenting the nucleus of this philosophical approach, the book proceeds to shed light on the coherence linking the main constitutional structures upon which the abbot was working in the course of the early years of the Revolution. It focuses in particular on the concepts that contributed to make up the basic grammar of modern and liberal constitutionalism: representation, citizenship, constituent power, rights of man, the division of the powers and the control of constitutionality. The idea is that, by pursuing this approach, it is possible to arrive at an overall picture of the constitutional doctrine of the abbot that reflects both its systematic quality and its originality.

La variazione semantica del verbo "essere" nelI'italiano parlato
Authors: Panunzi Alessandro
Published: January 2020

The book proposes a corpus-driven study conducted on 14,000 occurrences of the verb to be in the corpus of spoken Italian C-ORAL-ROM, in the light of the main proposals for semantic interpretation of the verb. This puts to the test the very possibility of developing a study with a strong theoretical connotation on a significant mass of oral data, generally not very prone to a systematic taxonomic treatment. Thus the observable datum defines the explicandum of the linguistic reflection and the analysis of the corpus guarantees the observational adequacy in relation to the data of real production. The results proposed illustrate how the broad semantic variation in the use of the verb proves to be divided into widely comprehensive macroclasses: copular uses (attributive), identificative uses and predicative uses on locative basis. Within each of these categories we can observe principal lines of variation that are consistent and productive.
Esercito, istituzioni, territorio. Alloggiamenti militari e «case herme» nello Stato di Milano (secoli XVI e XVII)
Authors: Buono Alessandro
Published: January 2020

What was the impact of the armies of the King of Spain on one of the territories of its composite monarchy during the centuries of the early modern age? What changes took place in the relations of power between the local institutions and the Madrid headquarters, between the Lombard corps and the city of Milan, between the representatives of the territorial corps and the power élites, as a consequence of the grievous burden represented by the military costs necessary for running the war? These are some of the questions that the author attempts to answer through study of the phenomenon of the military garrisons, an exceptional vantage point for observing the fine line that, in the ancient regime, divided the "military" and "civilian" worlds, which were not yet separated by the high walls and barbed wire of modern barracks.

El auge del movimiento de educación alternativa. Antecedentes, características y reflexiones sobre su futuro
Authors: Garagarza Aitor , Alonso Israel , Aguirregoitia Miren
Published: January 2020

Los movimientos de educación alternativa se han convertido en los últimos años en tendencia y ha crecido el número de propuestas educativas que se enmarcan dentro de este movimiento a nivel del Estado Español y mundial. Aquí presentamos la revisión de la literatura realizada en torno al concepto de educación alternativa aportando una definición propia de esta e identificando las características generales comunes a este movimiento. Para realizar este análisis, ha sido necesario revisar los antecedentes clave de este movimiento de educación alternativa dado que, aunque sus proyectos se presenten en ocasiones como alternativas innovadoras, son pedagogías y metodologías basadas en propuestas de hace más de un siglo como son las de Alexander Sutherland Neill o Rebeca y Mauricio Wild. Para ello, se han analizado además de las pedagogías antecesoras, las experiencias educativas de Summerhill (Reino Unido), El León Dormido (Ecuador) y Paideia (España). Los resultados de la revisión realizada muestran que la educación alternativa es un concepto donde se integran diferentes teorías, cosmovisiones y realidades, pero del cual también se recogen características comunes de estos proyectos que ayudan a entender las razones por las cuáles en pleno siglo XXI estas propuestas han alcanzado el auge e importancia del que hablamos.

INTERACTION OF THE SYMBIOTIC MICROBIOTA OF THE GASTRO-INTESTINAL TRACT WITH THE NERVOUS SYSTEM OF THE HOST ORGANISM
Authors: Oleskin A V
Published: January 2020

Symbiotic microorganisms inhabit a wide variety of niches in the human organism. Of paramount importance is the microbiota of the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, especially of its distal part (the colon). Bidirectional signal exchange proceeds within the microbiota-host system, and diverse microbial metabolites modify the functions of the nervous system via metabolic, genetic, and neuroendocrine pathways. Increasing attention is currently given to the role of the GI microbiota in terms of the host's physical and mental health; therefore, it has been suggested to replace the widely used term gut-brain axis with the new term microbiota-gut-brain axis. The GI microbiota directly interacts with the enteric nervous system (ENS) that represents a partly autonomous subdivision of the nervous system. An important role is also played by the GI tract-innervating vagus nerve. In addition, the influence of the microbiota on the nervous system can be mediated by the immune system. The microbiota impact on the nervous system of the host results in significant alterations in the host's behavior, mood, and even taste. In the literature, there is evidence that neurological and psychological diseases are linked to microecological disorders (dysbioses) in the GI tract. In particular, dysbioses with manifest GI symptoms are often accompanied by serious brain problems.

Authors: Czerner Rafał , Martusewicz Jacek
Published: January 2020

En agosto de 2008 la Misión Arqueológica y de Conservación polaca llevó a cabo investigaciones en el Parque Arqueológico de Machu Picchu. El objetivo fue analizar el estado de conservación de los elementos de piedra de algunos monumentos de Machu Picchu: Torreón, Tumba Real, Roca Sagrada, Intimachay, Templo del Cóndor y Wayna Picchu. El análisis se realizó desde dos puntos de vista, como un análisis arquitectónico del estado de conservación de las paredes y los bloques de piedras y como un análisis de restauradores de depósitos y daños en la superficie de piedra. Durante el trabajo en el sitio de Machu Picchu se tomaron algunas muestras para su posterior análisis en laboratorio. La investigación de laboratorio se centró en la composición de minerales de piedra y diferentes tipos de depósitos identificados en la superficie de piedra. También se hizo la descripción básica de los depósitos microbiológicos. En el caso del Torreón, un registro gráfico del estado de conservación se preparó en el Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG). Las conclusiones presentan recomendaciones para la conservación y propuestas de nuevas investigaciones.
Periodontal and Systemic Treatment Approach on Pemphigus Vulgaris: A Case Report
Authors: Ağrali Ömer Birkan , Kavuncu Gamze , Namdar Pekiner Filiz , Demirkesen Cuyan , Kuru Leyla
Published: January 2020

Objective:  In this case report, both the diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris and the periodontal treatment approach including the use of local/systemic medications are presented.

Case Presentation: 36-year-old female patient applied to the periodontology clinic with complaints of burning mouth and pain. Physical examination revealed cutaneous blisters on nose, hand and fingers while intra-oral examination showed widespread desquamation and ulcers depending on PV and severe gingival inflammation due to the lack of oral hygiene and oral PV. Initial periodontal treatment (IPT) was implemented to the patient along with local and systemic medications. Periodontal parameters including plaque Index (PI), gingival Index (GI), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded before and six weeks after IPT.  Periodontal treatment procedures did not cause any negative effect on the lesions. Six weeks following IPT and the use systemic medications, all clinical parameters improved significantly. Furthermore, lesions including mucosal blisters and desquamations partially recovered, the patient started to perform oral hygiene more effectively.

It was concluded that atraumatic and non-invasive periodontal treatment supported by the use of local/systemic corticosteroid and immunosuppressive medications was efficient on controlling of widespread desquamations and gingival inflammation of PV patients.
Peripapillary Microvasculature in Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) Treated With Anti-VEGF: An OCTA Study
Authors: Çiloğlu Emine
Published: January 2020

Objective: Aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in peripapillary vessel density (VD) and peripapillary nerve fiber layer thickness (PPRNFL) after intravitreal anti-VEGF injections in patients with Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) with macular edema.

Material and Methods: Sixty eyes of 30 patients with unilateral macular edema due to BRVO who underwent 3 dose loading anti-VEGF treatments were included in the study. The peripapillary capillary vessel density (RPCVD) and PPRNFL were evaluated with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). The measurements were done before and at least one month after a loading dose of anti-VEGF. The measurements of BRVO eyes before treatment were compared with the healthy fellow eyes and the values measured after treatment.

Results: There was a statistical difference between the pre-injection and post-injection periods at the inside disc and peripapillary VD parameters (p<0.001, p=0.01, respectively). Compared with the fellow eyes of the patients, the vessel density in the eyes with BRVO was significantly lower in the whole image, inside the disc, and peripapillary area. (p=0.015, p=0.020, p=0.027, respectively). There was no significant change in PPRNFL values before and after injections. When eyes with BRVO were compared with healthy eyes, eyes with BRVO showed reduced PPRNFL values initially but that was not statistically significant.

Conclusion: Inside disc and peripapillary VD values were increased after injection. Even though anti-VEGF agents may contribute to neurodegeneration, we think that this increase in perfusion prevents possible neurodegeneration.

Pertumbuhan industri pariwisata di Indonesia berkembang dengan pesat. Pertumbuhan tersebut berdampak pada pertumbuhan kebutuhan penginapan di Indonesia. Pinisi Backpacker sebagai salah satu penginapan dengan konsep hostel memiliki peran dalam pertumbuhan industri ini. Peran online travel agent pada industri ini pun memiliki peran yang signifikan terhadap penjualan penginapan di seluruh dunia. Namun demikian penggunaan online travel agent sendiri bukannya tanpa risiko. Kerjasama dengan online travel agent memiliki potensi bagi pemilik penginapan untuk mengalami opportunity lost. Hal tersebut menunjukan bahwa pemilik penginapan perlu untuk mengkaji performa masing-masing online travel agent sebagai partnernya. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa seluruh OTA memberikan efek yang positif terhadap keputusan pembelian hostel kecuali Traveloka dan Expedia. Keputusan pembelian konsumen di hostel Pinisi Backpacker dipengaruhi oleh pemilihan online travel agent oleh para konsumennya. Dari seluruh online travel agent yang digunakan dapat disimpulkan terdapat tiga grade online travel agent bagi Pinisi Backpacker yaitu grade 1 adalah Booking.com, Agoda, dan Hostelworld; grade 2 adalah Klikhotel dan pegipegi; dan yang terakhir adalah melepas kerjasama online travel agent dengan Traveloka dan Expedia.

Agriculture in India is referred to as “Gamble of the monsoon”. It has been observed that among Indian states. In recent years, many farmers in India have committed suicide, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Karnataka record for high suicide rates due to indebtedness of agricultural households. Maharashtra accounted for the maximum share of farmer suicides and Karnataka second. Cultivators are more prone to commit suicide compared to that of Agricultural Labourers. The study found that the high poverty states have the highest farmers committing suicide. Among the cultivators, bankruptcy or indebtedness are the major factors leading to purposive killing of farmers killing themselves. The study is based on secondary data. The data such as number of cultivators, agricultural labourers by age, gender and size of landholdings have been collected and been used for further analysis. Indian States are categorized into low, middle and High Poverty states based on ‘combined poverty line’ estimated by Suresh Tendulkar. Also the farmers are divided into four groups according to size of landholdings (marginal, small, medium and large farmers) for clear analysis. Simple statistical tools such as averages, Coefficient of Variation and percentage are used to analyze and interpret the data. Out of 39.8 percent of total working population in India 21.7 percent of population are engaged in agricultural activities and are in distress and committing suicide which triggers a major loss to India’s Human Capital resource. The study also shows that high rates of suicide are recorded in Maharashtra (34.1 percent) and Karnataka (12.5 percent) and therefore farmers’ suicide is high among the high poverty states of India.

First step concerning improvement of arsenic removal by adapted Kanchan filters in the lowlands of Nepal
Authors: Barbara Mueller
Published: January 2020

In the Terai region of Nepal (the southern lowlands of the country) the arsenic concentration of extracted ground water used as drinking water frequently exceeds the actual World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water guideline concentration of 10 μg/L. Single household filters (so called Kanchan filters) are employed to eliminate as from the well water. Being assembled to remove as utilizing zero-valent (ZVI) media, their efficiency was observed to vary to a high degree depending on design, ground water composition and the current operating conditions. Based on these concerns three field campaigns were organized in order to test ground water composition and filter handling on spot. This report depicts for the first time the results of this screening regarding removal efficiencies and clearly disclose future adaptation of the design and enhancement of the Kanchan filters uniquely used in Nepal. Removal efficiency varied between 5.81 % to 97.1 % depending on material, usage and mode of operation. The measurements of improvement include the replacement of nails and sand regularly; increasing the contact time between ground water and nails; preventing the nails from drying in order to maintain oxidizing settings; proper and regularly repeated instructions of the users.
