The sudden outbreak of deadly disease called COVID-19 caused by a Corona Virus (SARSCoV-2) shook the entire world. The wide and rapid spreading of COVID-19 has forced almost all educational institutions across the nation with no choice. Present study was undertaken to explore veterinary students’ preferences for various attributes of online classes and relationship between preference and 6 selected independent variables. Ex -post-facto research design was opted for the study and was conducted in three constituent colleges of Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University, Andhra Pradesh which have moved their academic activities onto online mode through zoom platform as a part of Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). The fi ndings of the study revealed that mo st of the students (85%) had high preference for online education. With regarding veterinary students’ preferences for various attributes of online classes the fi ndings confi rmed that majority of the veterinary students preferred to have online classes supported with reading material ha ving online classes on alternate days, for 2-4 hours per day with 45 minutes duration for each session along with 15 minutes break in between the two sessions. Majority of the students preferred WhatsApp for clarifying their queries and expected to clarify their queries by instructor within next class. Most of the students preferred to have quiz and assignments at end of every class for eff ective learning and preferred to submit their assignments before the next scheduled class. The fi ndings also revealed that, computer effi cacy and benefi ts had signifi cant positive relationship, while bottlenecks had signifi cant negative relationship with the Veterinary student’s preference for online education at one percent level of signifi cance.

Authors:   Department of Ext. Edu., PAU, Ludhiana, India, Joshi Divyata
Published: January 2023

Attitude is said to be a complex phenomenon that can’t be measured directly. Psychometric techniques have been found to be a highly reliable measurement method that takes into account the concept of unidimensionality. In the present study, Thurstone’s (1946) equal appearing interval scale has been constructed to measure the attitude of rural youth toward agriculture and allied sectors as an occupation. The initial set of 83 statements has been structured according to the criteria given by Edwards. Later, the statements were given to the forty judges for the judgment of each item. Cronbach alpha coeffi cient and Intraclass correlation coeffi cient was determined to check the consistency in the judgment and nine judges with inconsistent response were eliminated. The statements for the fi nal scale were selected by calculating the median and inter-quartile range and thirteen items were included in the fi nal scale. The reliability was measured with the Cronbach alpha and inter-rater method (0.949). The scale was also found to be high in its content and construct validity (0.974). The study will help the researchers and policymakers to use this scale to understand the attitude of youth towards agriculture and allied sectors as an occupation.

Community-based organizations need to be vibrant and rejuvenate themselves regularly according to the needs of donors. Revisiting the mandates and services to meet the emerging demands need regular assessment of capacity of these organizations. It needs a tool like Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA) to have self-assessment among their stakeholders. This tool is utilized to design the capacity development plan and improvement of already existing plan. This tool has been utilized by more than 150 facilitators for almost two decades in and around more than 30 countries. This paper tries to briefl y orient theoretically, the nature, principles, functions, process and approaches of OCA, so that the agricultural extension fraternity may not only get some insight into this concept but also may apply towards functioning of community-based organizations such as Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs).

Logo detection is a part of a broader family of object detection. In this paper, we discuss about the methods which help in logo detection using the python libraries like OpenCV, Sklearn, Skimage and machine learning ,computer vision techniques. In the project, we develop a model for logo detection using K nearest Neighbors classifier which detects the logo in the image and is used to predict the logo name. To detect the logo, we transform the images by removing the unwanted data like color of the image by changing it to gray color and detecting the edges of the image, resizing the image and performing feature extraction. Then we use the KNN classifier to train our model to predict the logo names. Key Words: KNN classifier, OpenCV, canny edge detection, feature extraction, logo detection, machine learning, computer vision.

Published: January 2023

Face recognition is a biological tool that may be used to recognize people by their distinctive facial features. Numerous applications, including security, enforcement agencies, and consumer electronics, have made use of this technology. Face detection and recognition system works by analyzing a person's individual facial features to a database of recognized faces. The system can recognize the person if there is a match. We employ a variety of already trained models, such as those for image processing, pattern recognition, and artificial neural network method (ANN). The accuracy of facial recognition has been considerably improved by the advent of deep learning technologies. CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks) with deep learning have significantly improved picture categorization. The Computer Vision and Machine Learning Group's deep learning model, DeepID, has achieved recognition rate of 98% on the ORL database for attendance systems.

MEASUREMENT OF THE LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN THE HEALTH INSURANCE SYSTEM: CROSS-COUNTRY COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: ABDULLAYEVA Resmiyye , MAHMUDOV Samir
Published: January 2023

The important goal of economic development is to strengthen social protection in modern times. One of the main components of social protection is the provision of health care of the population. World experience shows that health insurance (especially compulsory) plays an important role in the protection of the health care of the population. Thus, in countries with a high level of health insurance, the health of the population is more reliably protected, and there is an opportunity to expand the scope of treatment and prevention. The development of the health system, including health insurance, depends on the level of government intervention in this field. The research shows that the more government interferes in the health system, the better health care for the population. So far, the need for government intervention in the health insurance system has been the subject of research by various scientists, but no research has been conducted to measure the level of intervention. Is it possible to measure the level of government intervention in the health insurance system? The authors have tried to create a methodology that allows for measuring the level of government intervention in the health insurance system. This methodology is called the Index of Intervention of Health Insurance System (IIHIS). By calculating IIHIS, the authors determine the government intervention level in Health Insurance System. Measurement of the level of government intervention in the Health Insurance System allows for evaluating the social consequences of the implemented reforms. IIHIS has been calculated on the basis of 4 indicators – Coverage of compulsory health insurance, Coverage of private health insurance, Health insurance tariffs, and Value-Added Tax (VAT) on medications. At the initial stage, IIHIS has been calculated for 31 countries. Among 31 countries, there are developed, emerging, and post-socialist countries. According to IIHIS, the most dirigist (leftness) countries are Slovenia, and Israel. According to the IIHIS, the most liberal (rightness) countries are Azerbaijan, USA. The authors want to measure the level of government intervention in the health insurance system and to determine the position of Azerbaijan health insurance system. The authors have performed correlation, analytical-statistical, and cross-country analyses. The level of government intervention in the health insurance system has been measured in 31 countries.

Published: January 2023

This study aims to explain the role of Minang Malay ulama in the process of religious conversion of the rulers in South Sulawesi and in North Maluku. This study uses qualitative research using a historical method approach that begins with heuristic steps (collection of sources), verification (source criticism), both internal and external, interpretation, and ends with historiography (writing). The conclusion found that the existence of Muslims in South Sulawesi existed long before Islam was made the official religion of the Bugis Makassar kingdoms. The process of religious conversion from animism and dynamism to become a Muslim thanks to the services of three Minang Malay scholars, namely Datuk ri Tiro, Datuk ri Bandang and Datuk Patimang. The bias from interactions with the Minang Malays to this day has left its mark on the lives of the Makassarese in South Sulawesi. The same case also occurred in North Maluku. Historical sources show that the Minang Malay Ulama had a major role in convincing North Maluku Kolano to accept Sharia Islam voluntarily.

Authors: Riski Ramadhansyah  , Akim Manaor Hara Pardede  , Anton Sihombing
Published: January 2023

Land and Building Tax or abbreviated as PBB is a fee that must be paid for the existence of land and buildings owned by the community or residents. The determination of PBB in Binjai City is based on the application of the Land Value Zone (ZNT) which is close to the market price, which will be able to create equitable development throughout Binjai City. BPKPAD (Regional Revenue and Assets Financial Management Agency) Binjai City is a government agency that receives PBB payments from the community. Data - data on PBB payments for the people of Binjai City have been stored in an existing system and every year it will continue to increase so that it will cause data accumulation in the land and building tax archives. A data processing system is needed to manage these data, one of which can be done with data mining which can process piles of data into useful information and can be utilized by grouping PBB data based on criteria. Clustering is a method in data mining that can be used to automatically detect clusters of adjacent records that have a certain definition in all variables. K-Means algorithm is a simple algorithm to classify or group a large number of objects with certain attributes into groups (clusters). So that this system can be used as input for the Binjai City BPKPAD in finding solutions to increase regional income from PBB payments.

Published: January 2023

Red chili is one type of vegetable that has a high economic value. Chili is usually used in the form of fresh or dried or cooked, for ingredients for kitchen spices, medicinal ingredients, the needs of the food industry, and home industries. . However, it is common for farmers to harvest red chilies that are not yet ripe or even ripe, such as reddish-brown, red-black (rotten). This can lead to a lack of maturity level of red chili and the quality of the red chili. From the input pattern/image of chili as training data and training targets, it is possible to identify the ripeness of chilies using the backpropagation method. Based on the image data of chilies, it can recognize the pattern of chilies that have a maturity level that is in accordance with the digital image by using the backpropagation method and using the MATLAB application, with an accuracy level of training and testing data that is 97,78%.
Captive Minds and Civil Dialogue: A Reflection on Catholic Universities in the Post-Dobbs Era
Authors: DeCosse David
Published: January 2023

Discourse about abortion within the Catholic community - not to mention the broader world - is broken. There are a number of reasons for this but one is surely the way that ideological forces have captured the minds of intellectuals. In his 1951 classic, The Captive Mind, the great Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz examined the phenomenon of Polish artists surrendering their creativity to the demands of Stalinist socialist realism. The book has endured because Milosz’s powerful insights transcended his own time. Indeed, those insights can be drawn on as cautionary notes and wise suggestions for how to approach discourse on abortion at Catholic universities in our own day. This essay identifies the ideological pitfalls of the present: Catholic absolutism, postmodern identity cancel culture, Trumpian lies, and more. The essay also draws on Milosz to suggest that the following could aid Catholic universities as they ponder how to talk about contemporary Catholic challenges around law and abortion. Universities should beware of the distorting effects of their affluence; reject the notion of one Catholic legal solution to abortion; and turn to the artists and poets.
Wisdom from a Reproductive Justice Framework

Substance and Style in the Prolife Discourse
Authors: Daly Daniel
Published: January 2023

This essay is directed to the prolife community and argues that the abortion discourse on Catholic campuses will be improved significantly if the prolife community more intentionally integrates specific substantive and stylistic changes regarding the ethics and politics of abortion. Substantively, the impasse in the discourse may be initially bridged by what many prolife and prochoice persons should generally agree on—that abortion is driven by vicious social structures and a broken moral culture. Abortion is primarily a socially-generated moral problem that requires a socially-generated moral solution. The prolife and prochoice communities can agree and potentially collaborate on solutions to this social crisis. In light of the social factors that drive abortion, the prolife community should take seriously the experiences of women who have abortions and express more compassion for them. This community all too often quickly dismisses the suffering of women and, instead, trains its attention nearly exclusively on the unborn child. Both the mother and unborn child are victims of injustice and are deserving of compassion and mercy. Stylistically, the mode of the prolife discourse should reflect its message. A message of charity for all persons should be communicated charitably. Dialoguing with love is opposed to the ‘culture warrior’ ethos that currently plagues our nation.

Published: January 2023

Background. Irreparable rotator cuff tears are challenging to treat; however, there are multiple options available for surgical management. In recent years, superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) has emerged as a promising option.

Materials/Methods. A scoping review of studies reporting costs associated with SCR was performed. An initial search yielded 94 studies for screening, of which two studies were eligible for inclusion.  

Results. Estimated costs ranged from $5,642 to $20,837 US dollars (USD). The average cost estimate for SCR was ultimately determined to be $16,330.56 with adjustments for inflation.

Conclusions. There is extremely limited data regarding the current cost of SCR. Regardless, much of the cost associated with the procedure appears to be driven by the costs of intraoperative factors including implants, specifically human dermal allograft and anchors, as well as operative time. Future research identifying specific costs pertinent to SCR will be invaluable in determining the role of this procedure in treating IRCTs as well as how to maximize cost-effectiveness in general.

Electronic and Thermoelectric Properties on Rutile SnO2 Under Compressive and Tensile Strains Engineering
Authors: Adiperdana Budi , Kartika Nadya Larasati , Dharmawan Irwan Ary
Published: January 2023

SnO2 has the potential to be an environmentally friendly thermoelectric material. To obtain the optimum properties of this material, strain engineering is used to investigate the electronic and thermoelectric properties. In this study, we used compressive and tensile strains with -5%, -2%, 0%, 2%, 5%, and 10% in three schemes; they are triaxial (ɛabc), biaxial (ɛab), and uniaxial (ɛc) strains. All model structures are calculated based on density functional theory (DFT) with several exchange-correlation functionals. The presented results show that strain engineering enhances the Seebeck coefficient for a compressive strain parameter since the energy gap between the conduction and valence band increased due to the strong covalent bonding at the conduction band. From several comparisons in bandgap and thermoelectric properties calculation between PBEsol and PBE0, this study suggests that PBE0 is effectively used to calculate the energy gap. Meanwhile, for thermoelectric properties, PBEsol gave the best-estimated value. In addition, this study explained that the largest or the smallest bandgap could be achieved by varying strain simply on the c-axis as the optimum manipulation of the SnO2 structure. Furthermore, this paper also revealed that the simulation strategy could be determined from the desired result, whether to enhance the Seebeck coefficient or the electrical conductivity by manipulating the ab-axis and the c-axis, respectively.

Recently, hybrid clustering algorithms gained much research attention due to better clustering results and are computationally efficient. Hyperspectral image classification studies should be no exception, including mineral mapping. This study aims to tackle the biggest challenge of mapping the mineralogy of drill core samples, which consumes a lot of time. In this paper, we present the investigation using a hybrid clustering algorithm, cohesion-based self-merging (CSM), for mineral mapping to determine the number and location of minerals that formed the rock. The CSM clustering performance was then compared to its classical counterpart, K-means plus-plus (K-means++). We conducted experiments using hyperspectral images from multiple rock samples to understand how well the clustering algorithm segmented minerals that exist in the rock. The samples in this study contain minerals with identical absorption features in certain locations that increase the complexity. The elbow method and silhouette analysis did not perform well in deciding the optimum cluster size due to slight variance and high dimensionality of the datasets. Thus, iterations to the various numbers of k-clusters and m-subclusters of each rock were performed to get the mineral cluster. Both algorithms were able to distinguish slight variations of absorption features of any mineral. The spectral variation within a single mineral found by our algorithm might be studied further to understand any possible unidentified group of clusters. The spatial consideration of the CSM algorithm induced several misclassified pixels. Hence, the mineral maps produced in this study are not expected to be precisely similar to ground truths.

Published: January 2023

The issue of uncontrolled migration to the European Union through the Mediterranean Sea is a phenomenon that has been with members of the com-munity for many years. In this article, the authors have analyzed the migration crisis between 2015 and 2020 in the context of two countries - Greece and Libya. The former was the most common transit route and destination for illegal immi-grants during the study period. Tens of thousands of people are still living on its territory, awaiting asylum or the possibility to travel to another EU country. In contrast, Libya (like Turkey) is regarded by migrants as the “door to a better world,” and it is through Libya that the main Central Mediterranean route passes. The sea route across the Mediterranean is chosen by citizens of both Middle East-ern and African countries.

Purpose: E-health illiteracy has disadvantages
including misevaluation of medical information
displayed on the internet. Both effective self care
management and e-health literacy are important
terms in order to control of the chronic diseases. The
aim of this study is to determine the relationship
between e-health literacy and the self-care
management of patients with Type-2 diabetes.
Materials and Methods: The type of the study is
descriptive. A questionnaire was applied to
individuals who have been diagnosed with Type-2
diabetes in the endocrine policlinic of the internal
medicine clinic of a tertiary state hospital in Istanbul,
Turkey. The sample size was calculated as 384 by
accepting the adequate e-health literacy rate among
Type-2 diabetes patients as 50%, the margin of error
5%, and the confidence level as 95%. In addition to
sociodemographical questions; our questionnaire
contains two scales: Self-Care Management
Protection scale and the E-health Literacy Scale.
Number (n) and percentage (%) values were used in
the expression of descriptive data. Mean, standard
deviation, median and minimum, maximum values
were given. For data comparison; Mann-Whitney U
test was used for non-normally distributed variables.
The Spearman correlation used to measure the linear
relation between two numeric variables.
Significance level has been accepted as p<0.05.
Results: Totally 330 patients were included our
study by a participation rate of 85.9 %. The mean age
of the participants was 57.74±13.83 and 52.4% were
female. A positive correlation was observed between
scores of e-health literacy scale and self-care
management scale (r=0.235, p<0.001) and self-
protection subscale of self-care management scale
(r= 0.345, p<0.001). A negative correlation exists
between age and e-health literacy (r= -0.419,
p<0.001).
Conclusions: The results support the claim that
individuals with a higher e-health literacy can better
able to control their disease through self-
management.
Problems experienced by nursing students in clinical training during the COVID-19 pandemic: a descriptive study
Authors: Demirdağ Hatice , Uysal Nurcan
Published: January 2023

Objective: In this study, the attitudes of nursing students towards Covid-19 disease and the problems they experienced in the clinical learning environment during the pandemic were examined. Material and Methods: The research was a descriptive study. The population of the research is 2nd-3rd-4th-year students (n=264) studying at the nursing school who clinical placement during the pandemic. Data was collected online at the end of the clinical placement period (August 1-30,2021) using the "Student Information Form", "Questionnaire Form for Identifying Problems in Clinical Practice" and "Multidimensional Covid-19 Scale". Number and percentage calculation, t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used in data analysis. Results: It was determined that the students got high scores from the Multidimensional Covid-19 Scale (Mean=79.44±16.87). Mean scores were high for students who had lost their families due to COVID-19; who were worried about their patients having COVID-19; and who were directed to the care of COVID-infected patients without adequate protective equipment. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). The most common problems students experienced were related to fear of making mistakes and harming patients (61.7%), fear of being infected with Covid-19 (61.7%), fear that patient has Covid-19 (60.6%), and feelings of inadequacy about entering clinical practice (58.7%). Conclusions: To prepare nursing students for emergencies related to the pandemic and manage similar future situations, nursing schools and hospitals should collaborate to develop strategies and coping mechanisms.
ZAGROŻENIA I PRZECIWDZIAŁANIE BEZZAŁOGOWYM STATKOM POWIETRZNYM W OCHRONIE PORTÓW LOTNICZYCH
Authors: Zieliński płk dr hab. Tadeusz
Published: January 2023

Powszechny dostęp do bezzałogowych statków powietrznych popularnie określanych dronami powoduje, że coraz częściej zdarzają się incydenty z ich udziałem. Zagrożenia generowane przez drony w odniesieniu do infrastruktury krytycznej, w tym portów lotniczych, niezależnie od tego czy powstają w sposób intencjonalny czy nieintencjonalny stwarzają realne niebezpieczeństwo dla funkcjonowania portów lotniczych. Nieautoryzowane wtargnięcie drona w obszar portu lotniczego lub jego świadome wykorzystanie jako narzędzie aktu terrorystycznego mogą być bezpośrednią przyczyną kolizji ze statkiem powietrznym lub spowodować zniszczenie (uszkodzenie) infrastruktury portu lotniczego. Ochrona portu lotniczego przed tego rodzaju zagrożeniami wymaga kompleksowego podejścia obejmującego: wprowadzanie adekwatnych regulacji prawnych, zbudowanie systemu zapobiegania zagrożeniom, utrzymywanie w gotowości zasobów zapewniających wykrywanie, identyfikację i neutralizację zagrożeń generowanych przez drony oraz zbieranie doświadczeń.
O pewnym typie rozszczepienia argumentu propozycjonalnego
Authors: Kiklewicz Aleksander
Published: January 2023

Tematem artykułu jest rozszczepienie argumentu propozycjonalnego, tzn. jego realizacja w postaci dwóch
aktantów przy predykacie głównym. Rozszczepienie jest rozpatrywane na tle innych form reprezentacji
syntaktycznej bazowych treści propozycjonalnych. Obiektem szczególnej uwagi autora są konstrukcje
rozszczepienia, powstałe na skutek kontaminacji, zawierające poza aktantem sentencjonalnym składnik
wyniesiony w postaci wyrazu lub grupy wyrazowej, ulokowany na początku zdania (tzw. ułamek). Kon-
strukcje tego rodzaju są opisywane pod względem takich aspektów, jak struktura syntaktyczna (struktura
zależności w zdaniu głównym), formy gramatyczne elementu ułamkowego i jego funkcje semantyczne
w zdaniu matrycowym, leksykalno-semantyczna charakterystyka predykatu zdania głównego. Zostanie
też poruszona kwestia zgodności tych konstrukcji z normą językową.
Abstract
The article discusses the splitting of the propositional argument, i.e. its implementation in the form of
two actants that accompany the main predicate. The splitting in question is discussed against the back-
ground of other forms of syntactic representation of the basic propositional-semantic content: complete,
incomplete, and over-complete. The author focuses on decomposed constructions, which result from
contamination and which contain, apart from the sentential actant, a component in the form of a noun,
adjective or adverb, raised and located at the beginning of a sentence (the so-called fraction). Constructs
of this type are discussed in terms of their syntactic structure (dependency structure in the main clause),
grammatical forms of the fractional element and its semantic functions in the matrix clause, as well as the
lexicosemantic characteristics of the head predicate. We also address the issue of the compliance of these
constructions with language norm.

A structural analysis of a joke. Salvatore Attardo’s isotopy-disjunction model from the perspective of several decades
Abstract
The paper critically discusses the isotopy-disjunction model (IDM) developed by Salvatore Attardo for
the analysis of verbal and referential jokes. We present the main assumptions of the IDM model, focusing
on issues such as isotopy, isotopy triggers and narrative functions. The paper also addresses subsequent
attempts to develop the IDM model, including the present author’s proposal to increase the number of
triggers.
