Sufficiency and Sustainability: Conceptual Analysis and Ethical Considerations for Sustainable Organisation
Authors: Lehtonen Tommi , Heikkurinen Pasi
Published: November 2021

This article analyses the concept of sufficiency in relation to sustainability and discusses ethical implications for sustainable organisation in time and place. We identify three foundational conceptualisations of sufficiency related to sustainability: (1) a limits model that starts with objective boundaries imposed by the biosphere and basic human needs; (2) a preference model that treats sufficiency as a subjective inclination for moderation defined situationally; and (3) a balancing model that seeks to integrate the objective limits and subjective preferences by focussing on action embedded in the socio-ecological context. This includes balancing the needs of humans with those of non-humans. The limits model builds on universal duty, the preference model on preference utilitarianism and the balancing model on action-oriented virtue ethics. The balancing model of sufficiency is well suited to meeting the needs of present and future generations as well as delivering intra- and inter-generational justice not limited to humans.
The Various Reasons for Killing Wolves in the Fifteenth-Century Liberty of Bruges
Authors: Dillen Kristiaan
Published: November 2021

In the fifteenth-century Liberty of Bruges, a rural castellany in the county of Flanders, a bounty system was established to promote the elimination of wolves. Prize money made the wolf not only an unwanted but also an actively tracked animal, a combination that resulted in its wholescale slaughter. Researchers who have previously examined these bounties believed that they were primarily part of a system of pest control. They did not realise, however, that the inhabitants who came forward to claim the bounty killed wolves not to clear the Liberty of Bruges of vermin but for entirely different reasons, which depended on the context in which encounters with wolves occurred. In this text, I use the records concerning the bounty system established by the Liberty of Bruges to understand the complex relationships between humans and wolves in this fifteenth-century castellany. I first introduce the long series of records; thereafter, I attempt to identify reasons for killing wolves in the Liberty of Bruges and the contexts in which such killings occurred.
Decay Characteristics of Neutron Excess Magnesium Nuclei
Authors: Bevelacqua Joseph
Published: November 2021

In neutron star mergers, neutron excess nuclei and the r-process are important factors governing the production of heavier nuclear systems. A single-particle model evaluation of magnesium nuclei suggests that the heaviest Z = 12 nucleus will have mass 52 with filling of the 1f5/2 neutron shell. A = 38 – 52 magnesium isotopes have limited experimental half-life data, but the model predicts beta decay half-lives in the range of 0.744 – 2.89 ms. Based on previous calculations for Z = 9 -11, 20, 26, and 30 systems and comparisons to the 38Mg – 40Mg calculations summarized in the Japanese Nuclear Data Compilation, the single-particle model results likely overestimate the half-lives of A = 38 – 52 neutron excess magnesium nuclei.

Published: November 2021

Cellular mobile communication technology has grown exponentially in the last decade resulting in large number of base stations in areas at which people are living or working. All over the world, the electromagnetic pollution produced from cellular base stations erected in residential areas and its effect on the environment and human body is a problem that has been concerning the society for many years. This paper, introduces the effects of electromagnetic energy emitted cellular base stations on the biological systems of the human body. The induced electromagnetic fields (EMF), and specific absorption rate (SAR) were calculated in close proximity to cellular mobile base stations. The calculated values of SAR were compared with the most commonly used international limits. The results show that the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure levels at a distance of several meters from the base station towers can cause hazardous effects to the public

Published: November 2021

The battle of corona-virus and mankind is possible to be tackled as long as we maintain the basic norm of social distancing and wearing masks amongst ourselves as it is through our droplets from the respiratory tract that the virus spreads. With the increasing demand for man-force and people requiring to go to their workplaces post lockdown, it is very necessary that we save each other from the virus. In this project, we will go through a detailed explanation of how we can use Python, AI and Deep Learning to monitor social distancing at public places and workplaces are keeping a safe distance from each other by analyzing real-time video streams from the camera and also detect facial mask monitoring using OpenCV and Python. To ensure if people are following social distancing protocols in public places and workplaces, we wanted to develop a tool that can monitor if people are keeping a safe distance from one another, wearing masks or not by processing real-time video footage from the camera. People at workplaces, factories, shops can integrate this tool into their security camera systems and can monitor whether people are keeping a safe distance from each other or not along with that we detect facial mask monitoring using Python with help of haar-cascade algorithm to see whether a person is wearing a mask or not. We are also planning to include thermal screening detection to measure the temperature of the subjects, a dashboard which will display a live report of corona cases around the world. We will also include an alert system that will send a notification to the authorities if the social distancing is not followed or if the temperature exceeds the threshold. The authorities can take suitable measures to isolate the subject and thus prevent the spread of Covid-19.

A Study on Surface Roughness when Milling C45 Steel
Authors: Lien Do Thi Kim , Dinh Phung Tran
Published: November 2021

In this paper, a study is presented on the milling process of C45 steel by face milling cutters. An experimental process was performed according to an experimental matrix constructed by the Box-Behnken method. At each experiment, three cutting parameters were changed, namely cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. Surface roughness has been selected as a parameter to evaluate the milling process. Analysis of experimental results has determined the influence of cutting parameters as well as their interactions on surface roughness. Two regression models for surface roughness have been proposed. In which one model uses the Johnson transformation. These two models were used to predict the surface roughness and then compared with the experimental results. The results show that the model using the Johnson transformation has higher accuracy than the model not using the data transformation.

People used to carry their documents about on CDs only a few years ago. Many people have recently turned to memory sticks. Cloud computing, in this case, refers to the capacity to access and edit data stored on remote servers from any Internet-connected platform. Cloud computing is a self-service Internet infrastructure that allows people to access computing resources at any location worldwide. The world has altered as a result of cloud computing. Cloud computing can be thought of as a new computing typology that can provide on-demand services at a low cost. By increasing the capacity and flexibility of data storage and providing scalable compute and processing power that fits the dynamic data requirements, cloud computing has aided the advancement of IT to higher heights. In the field of information technology, privacy and data security have long been a serious concern. It becomes more severe in the cloud computing environment because data is stored in multiple locations, often across the globe. Users' primary challenges regarding the cloud technology revolve around data security and privacy. We conduct a thorough assessment of the literature on data security and privacy issues, data encryption technologies, and related countermeasures in cloud storage systems in this study. Ubiquitous network connectivity, location-independent resource pooling, quick resource flexibility, usage-based pricing, and risk transference are all features of cloud computing.

Authors: Dolly Pandit  , Soma Bhunia  , Gauthami Bitla  , Hajra Gupta
Published: November 2021

Lactobacillus species are normally found in human digestive and urinary tracts. In this study, the capability of probiotic strains to grow in media using banana peel waste as an alternative carbohydrate source was investigated. Lactic acid bacteria were isolated using homemade curd, banana peel powder was made using an alternate drum drier technique and used as a fermentation media on which strain of probiotic, Lactobacillus sp. were grown. The result showed that bacterial growth using banana peel powder obtained at 370C under anaerobic condition (2- 3 days), was comparable to growth seen in MRS medium. It can be concluded that the banana peel powder can be utilized to produce culture medium for cultivation of probiotic bacteria as a substitute to MRS medium which is expensive for cultivating probiotics. This will not only result in cost reduction of probiotic from cheap, inexpensive Agro-waste material, but also helps in solving the environmental pollution problem caused by their extensive disposal. The capability of Lactobacillus sp. to degrade dye was also investigated. Lactobacilli was incorporated under anaerobic condition in the M9 media containing the dye. The dye degrading capability of Lactobacillus sp was estimated colorimetrically at 520nm. The result showed a decrease in the dye concentration obtained at 37oC under anaerobic condition. So, it can be concluded that the Lactobacillus strain can be used for the bioremediation of dyes.

Religious Radicalization: Dimension of Culture and the Foundation of Freedom
Authors: Khan Md. Mahfuzur Rahman
Published: November 2021

The origins of human culture and the foundation of freedom can be traced back to the religious nature of the species. Human ability to create an entirely worldly one, separate from the great synthesis, came only after a long period of experimentation and thought. Certainly, this is seen as a positive development in the current conception of culture and its historical context. Today, it is being debated whether the detachment of human work-from science to morality to education to the state to economics to art-from religious connections and connections has been beneficial both to culture itself and to human personality progress in the direction of higher concrete achievements and human development. The author utilized deductive reasoning to create a link between religion and the aspects of culture and the foundations of freedom in this research work, which uses a qualitative technique based on a deductive research methodology.

Authors: Albar Mawi Khusni , Purnomo Sutrimo , Munif Fatkhan , Azizah Intan Nur
Published: November 2021

This article describes the development of madrasah through trust-building at MI Ma'arif NU Teluk Purwokerto Selatan. Like one of the Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, Madrasah has a strategic role in achieving national education goals. In its development, especially Madrasah Ibtidaiyyah, the quantity of private madrasah is higher than that of the public madrasah. It impacts the madrasah's existence, which will depend heavily on the community as the primary stakeholder and madrasah as a concrete form of community-based education. For this reason, it is necessary to have active community participation in developing competitive and quality madrasah, among others, through building trust. This research is qualitative-descriptive with a case study approach—data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicated that the development of MI Ma'arif NU Teluk through trust-building was used in several stages, namely through the development of the character of figures who were able to become role models for the community. The belief formed by these figures will stick in a person's memory and become a role model in his life. Trust building is also built through improving the quality of the madrasah, namely the madrasah program. The madrasah program is an effective means of creating external trust in madrasah. The madrasah program is in the national curriculum and the local content curriculum, simultaneously implemented at MI Ma'arif NU Teluk.
Old artifiсial parks as a key spot of corticolous lichen diversity in Southern Ukraine
Authors: DARMOSTUK VALERII V. , KHODOSOVTSEV ALEXANDER YE.
Published: November 2021

Old artificial parks are an important component of the cultural heritage in Southern Ukraine which represents a significant variety of specific habitats for lichen diversity. The aim of our research was to analyze the total lichen diversity in parks as well as the representation of rare and protected species. Most of the data were collected by the authors during expeditions in Southern Ukraine during 2017–2020 in Kherson and Mykolaiv regions. Overall, we identified 108 lichen species and 21 lichenicolous fungi within 17 old parks. The highest lichen diversity was recorded in parks “Labirynt” (66 species) and “Nedogirskyi Forest” (61 species). We found 18 lichen species (16.6 %) included in the Red List of Kherson and Mykolaiv regions and 25 (23.8%) rare forest-dwelling species. We concluded that old artificial parks are very important habitats for lichen diversity in the steppe zone of Ukraine as well as the unique localities for such species as Graphis scripta, Hyperphyscia adglutinata, Sclerophora pallida in Southern Ukraine. The total diversity of lichens did nоt have a significant correlation with the total number of tree species due to the dominance of several tree species (Fraxinus excelsior, Quercus robur), while most other phorophytes are young and represented singly. All old parks should become local reserves to preserve the overall biological diversity in their territories, protect against illegal logging, and regulate potential recreational activities.

Authors: Arroio Agnaldo , de Souza Dirceu D. D.
Published: November 2021

Natural Science Education plays a very important role in broadening students’ world outlook. The Natural Science classes should discuss real, concrete things and phenomena, which are a part of students’ reality and even everyday life (Lamanauskas, 2003). Nowadays it is necessary to take advantage of the Information and Communication Technologies to support innovative methodologies of teaching natural science. As well, it leads to different ways of seeing the world and consequently leads to different beliefs concerning our comprehension of the world. Expanding the experiences as the augmented reality, it is real now. So, words and terms which are used acquire meaning in the contexts where they are used. The relevant perspective within a sector is decisive for how a question, a problem, a statement is to be interpreted, what is interesting, pertinent an objective (Arroio, 2011).
MAJOR TRENDS OF EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN SCHOOL OF POSTINDUSTRIAL SOCIETY
Authors: Levin Ilya
Published: November 2021

The present paper is a theoretical study of the educational system in the coming postindustrial society. The authors propose a conceptual model of that modern educational system. The model represents the approaching new school as a culturological space defined by three planes corresponding to three new phenomena closely related to the modern information technologies. These phenomena affecting the new school are: a) Social Media as a new way of forming social consciousness; b) Personal Identity Online as a new way of forming personality, and c) Data Intensive Science as a new scientific and methodological paradigm. It is shown that each of these phenomena is a result of evolution in three fields: knowledge acquiring, learning process, and science methodology. Development of the educational system/process is considered to benefit from а conflict between two tendencies: socialization and individualization. The paper also discusses digital curation as a novel educational activity which can be born in the new school based on a combined contribution of the above three phenomena. No doubt that education in the social media, within the abundance of various content, and with stimulating the students’ personal identity online - such education should drastically change roles of both the teacher and the students in the new school.
Key words: educational system, methodological paradigm, postindustrial society.

THE RELATION BETWEEN COMPETITION AND HIGHER EDUCATION. LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF AN ALBANIAN CASE
Authors: Latifi Juliana
Published: November 2021

At present, Albania faces a reality in which education as a public interest is provided by both public as well as private institutions. The liberalisation of access in higher education has resulted in public and/or private institutions which provide the same service – education, compete with each other in trying to attract the same customer – the student.
Competition is considered as a key instrument that has produced a diversity/variety of higher education institutions and with more choices to the student.
This research is aimed at analysing the relation existing between competition and higher education as well as its impact on higher education in Albania.
In this analysis we have addressed four important issues:
1. Liberalisation of higher education and the impact of competition
2. Competition law in education
3. The mechanism of free competition - the market of students
4. Using competition to promote reform in higher education
This study is based on the interpretation of the domestic legislation, analysis of policy documents and articles, as well as interviews with 10 key persons and 20 students.
This research helps understanding the role competition plays in the higher education sector, which has resulted in a tangible reform being undertaken by the public and private HEI themselves. This reform is based on the adaptation of competition rules with the purpose of achieving provision of a qualitative service – standards based education.

Authors: Palmárová Viera , Lovászová Gabriela
Published: November 2021

Digital devices like smart phones, tablets, PDAs and GPS navigators provide teachers in primary and secondary schools with new and attractive chances to teach in a constructivist/constructionist way. The research was aimed at designing an engaging outdoor learning activity based on collaboration and active using of mobile technology. The suggested learning activity was inspired by a real-world treasure hunting game called Geocaching and was realized with 2 groups of pupils aged 10-14. Children used a GPS-enabled PDA to navigate from their current location to another. They encountered various types of problems while collecting hints needed to calculate the final location of a hidden container. Even collaboration between competing teams was necessary in order to succeed. The case study gives an example of a well-designed constructivist/constructionist learning activity with special focus on informatics education but can be easily adapted for using in any other school subject or some after-school context as well. The adventurous and competitive nature of the learning activity resulted in high intrinsic motivation to learn, so the educational objectives could be reached effectively. Reported findings are grounded in observations made during the learning activity as well as the interviews with participants.
Key words: constructivism, Geocaching, informatics education, mobile technology.

Authors: Akhter Nasima , Deeba Farzana , Nasrin Begum , Chowdhury Saleha Begum
Published: November 2021

Background: Cystatin C, an endogenous marker of renal function, which increases in pregnancy as more so in pre-eclampsia, studies show it may be marker of pre-eclampsia.

Objective (s): The objective of the present work was to investigate the association between serum cystatin C levels in normal and pre-eclamptic pregnancy.

Methods and material: This case control study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology in three tertiary care hospitals of Dhaka city (BSMMU, DMC, BIRDEM ) during the period from January 2009 to December 2010. A total 240 women of 20-40 wks of pregnancy were enrolled in the study. One hundred and twenty four women of pre-eclampsia were recruited as case and 116 healthy pregnant women were enrolled as control. Serum cystatin C was measured in both case and control by a fully automated particle-enhanced immune-turbidimetric assay for cystatin C in undiluted samples. Serum cystatin C level was compared between the groups. P value reached from unpaired student t-test and chi square test by analyzing the data. P value less than 0.05 was considered to be significant.

Results: The mean (±SD) serum cystatin C levels in case group was 1.17±0.34 mg/lranged from 0.1-2.2 mg/l. In control groups the mean (±SD) serum cystatin C level was 0.87±0.31 mg/l, ranged from 0.24-1.98 mg/l, which was significantly higher (p<0.001) in case. There was statistically significant association between serum cystatin C and pre-eclampsia. Serum Cystatin C level >1mg/l was found in more than half (69%) of the cases compared to 25% of the control group (p<0.001). Computation of odds ratio reveals that the cases had 6.79 times higher risk of having pre-eclampsia than that of the control group (p<0.001).

Conclusion: There is significant association between pre-eclampsia and serum cystatin C

Dengue in Pregnancy
Authors: Chowdhury Sameena , Abbasi Sharmin
Published: November 2021

Dengue fever during pregnancy is increasing day by day in Bangladesh. The knowledge of adverse effects on mother and neonate remains limited and there are also lack of management guideline in this regard. Mortality rate for severe dengue fever is 0.8–2.5%, and pregnancy should be considered as a coexisting risk factor for serious infection. However, the maternal and fetal outcomes not fully understood. Some review articles on outcomes of neonates born to mother with dengue fever was reported, and demonstrated that preterm birth and low birth weight were the most common adverse pregnancy outcomes; however, dengue fever was not significantly associated with these adverse outcomes, suggesting that symptomatic dengue fever may indicate risk. Other adverse effects such as stillbirth or postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to brief review of recent management guideline of OGSB about dengue fever in pregnancy.

A região do Vale do Café, no estado do Rio de Janeiro, apresenta grande parte do solo voltado à agropecuária e o Município de Vassouras, como uma das cidades que a compõem, possui aproximadamente 62% da área destinada a esta prática. O grande volume de dejetos de animais e palhas de vegetais nestas regiões rurais apresentam potencial como matéria prima para geração de energia e podem contribuir também para a produção de fertilizantes orgânicos. Os resíduos rurais convertidos em gases e/ou fertilizantes orgânicos podem ser designados ao uso da própria agricultura local, colaborando para o desenvolvimento sustentável. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a viabilidade técnica da produção de biometano utilizando como matéria prima substratos rurais. Para esta análise foi utilizado o simulador de processos (SuperPro Designer®). Na simulação considerou-se um digestor anaeróbio com capacidade de 6 toneladas e alimentação de 112,5 kg/d de material orgânico, sendo 90 kg de esterco seco e 22,5 kg de palha de vegetal. Os dados das reações enzimáticas que ocorrem no processo de digestão anaeróbia foram ajustados no simulador e corresponderam as etapas de hidrólise, acidogênese, acetogênese e metanogênese. Após a simulação realizada verificou-se a viabilidade técnica da produção de biogás, sendo gerado aproximadamente 90 m3 de biogás por dia.

Chemotherapy drugs and radiotherapy in the head and neck region are considered possible to interfere with odontogenesis. Patients may present alterations such as tooth agenesis, shortening or root malformation, enamel hypoplasia and microdontia. Such effects do not occur in adults, as they already have the dental structures formed. The objective of this study is to describe, through a case report, the dental alterations and implications for the clinical practice of a patient who received chemotherapy and radiotherapy in childhood. A 12- year-old female patient was diagnosed with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in the right parotid gland region at 5 years of age. Antineoplastic treatment consisted of IRS IV chemotherapy protocol: ifosfamide (IFO) - doxorubicin (DOXO) - etoposide (VP16) followed by vincristine - dactinomycin - cyclophosphamide (VAC) / vincristine - ifosfamide - etoposide (VIE) alternated, in addition to conventional radiotherapy, with a total dose of 45 Gy. The patient developed important dental alterations, such as root malformation in most teeth, microdontia and enamel hypoplasia, being essential the role of the dentist. Currently, after 6 years of anticancer treatment, she has regular dental follow-up.

Introdução: A publicidade está presente em diversos momentos do nosso cotidiano, pois somos afetados continuamente, durante toda a vida, por anúncios de produtos e serviços que podem ser capazes de satisfazer nossas necessidades e mexer com os nossos desejos. Objetivo: Objetivou-se identificar evidências na literatura científica quanto a possível influência da publicidade em alimentos associada às escolhas do hábito alimentar infantil. Metodologia: Trata-se de um artigo de revisão integrativa da literatura. A busca dos artigos foi realizada nas bases de dados eletrônicas: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), National Library of Medicine (PubMED) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe de Informações em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), num recorte temporal de 2019 a 2021.Foram utilizados descritores em português: “Comportamento alimentar”, “criança”, “alimentos” e em inglês: “Eating behavior”, “child”, “food”, devidamente cadastrados nos Descritores em Ciência da Saúde (DeCS). Resultados e discussão: Identificaram-se as influências da publicidade nos hábitos alimentares e no estilo de vida das crianças, uma vez que os programas divulgam produtos alimentícios utilizando ferramentas atrativas, como os desenhos. Considerações finais: Percebe-se ainda que alguns alimentos sejam comercializados com pequenos brinquedos ou embalagens, despertando ainda mais o desejo pelos produtos que em sua maioria têm baixo ou nenhum valor nutricional.

Apesar do ruído estar presente na maioria das atividades cotidianas, sua exposição traz malefícios de diversas esferas ao ser humano. Em um ambiente escolar, sua atuação representa um opositor invisível às condutas de ensino/aprendizagem, já que compete com a atenção que o aluno deveria dedicar apenas à explanação do professor. Deste modo, o discente fica submetido a dois estímulos diferentes: o principal, caracterizado pela fala do docente e que necessita de uma boa condição de inteligibilidade para ser o foco da sua atenção; e o secundário, moldado pelo ruído competitivo, ao qual o aluno deve ser capaz de negligenciá-lo, para que a explicação não seja distorcida e não comprometa o entendimento da mensagem principal. É neste contexto, que o presente estudo, visa apresentar dados de monitoramento acústico em salas de aula e laboratórios de informática do Instituto Federal do Paraná (IFPR), Campus Umuarama. Verificou-se que os níveis de pressão sonora (NPS) não estão em conformidade com os limites aceitáveis para os respectivos recintos, recomendados pelas normas brasileiras que tratam do tema e, apresentou-se possíveis materiais que contribuem para a melhoria do condicionamento acústico destes ambientes escolares. Por fim, observou-se, entre outros itens, que as salas de aulas apresentaram NPS acima do permitido, principalmente as salas com as portas expostas a grandes circulações de pessoas.
