Undergraduate Student’s Perspectives on E-learning during COVID-19 Outbreak in Sri Lankan Universities
Authors: P. J. Kumarasinghe  , M. A. K. Sriyalatha
Published: November 2021

As education moves e-learning all over the world due to COIVD-19 pandemic, students spend more time on e-learning than ever before. This is also equally applied to the Sri Lankan education system. Thus this study examines the undergraduate students’ perspectives on e-learning during the COVID-19 outbreak in universities in Sri Lanka. Primary data was obtained from undergraduate students in Sri Lankan university using a structured questionnaire via Google form. The perspectives on e-learning education during the COVID-19 pandemic was investigated using descriptive statistics and frequency analysis. The majority of the undergraduate students felt that the e-learning version of education saved travel time and cost of accommodation. Furthermore, the study revealed that the majority of students were happy with the e-learning form of education during the pandemic since it allowed them to finish their degrees faster and access the labor market without a delay. The biggest challenges with e-learning, according to the student responses, were internet access, device availability, visionary issues, technical issues, and stress. As a result of this COVID -19 pandemic, if higher education officials in Sri Lankan universities want to keep e-learning education on going, they must focus on offering cost-effective, high-speed data connections while minimizing technological hurdles. At the same time, it is important to update and revise the curriculum content according to this new mode of education since this is a completely new situation for all. There is relatively little research on students’ perspectives on e-learning education during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Sri Lankan context and it will provide some important highlights to the researchers, parent and academics as well.

Published: November 2021

The current study was conducted to detect the infection rate of the Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia parasite and to determine the relationship between them and Helicobacter pylori bacteria for patients attending Shirqat General Hospital in Salah al-Din Governorate during the period from October 2020 to March 2021. The number of examined samples reached 409, as they were examined by direct smear and Concentration methods using an optical microscope. The results of the study showed that the total infection rate was 46 (11.24%) positive samples and 363 negative samples with a rate of (88.7%), the Entamoeba histolytica was dominant with rate 67.38%, followed by Giardia lamblia with rate 32.61%, and the infection rates for males were higher than for females. Where the infection rate of males reached 14.29% (34 out of 238) and 7.02% of females (12 out of 171), respectively. The infection rates varied between age groups, as the highest rate of infection was in the age group ≥ 10-1 years, which amounted to 32.6%, and the lowest rate of infection was in the age group 60-51 years, with a rate of 2.17%. The highest infection rate was in October, which amounted to 14.89%, while the lowest infection rate was in December, with a rate of 7.35%. All positive samples were examined for microscopic examination by rapid antigen test to detect H.pylori bacteria involved in infection with Entamoeba histolytica or Giardia lamblia, and the results showed that 13 (28.26) samples were positive and 33 (71.73%) were negative samples, and the Co-infection infection rate was between the Entamoeba histolytica and H.pylori 9 (29.03%) were higher than that of Giardia lamblia and H.pylori 4 (26.66%).The results of the statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences between the sex of patients infected with these parasites and the rates of infection during the months of the study and the age groups of infected patients.

Authors: Harjeet Singh  , Shweta Sao
Published: November 2021

L-asparaginase (EC 3.5.11. L-asparagine amidohydrolase) is first enzyme, studied very intensively in human beings with regard to its anti-tumor potential against tumor of lymphoid precursor, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The current drugs are suffering from many side effects like immune suppression, infertility, secondary neoplasm. The immunogenic complications associated with its present microbial sources Escherichia coli; Erwinia carotovora limits its medicinal frontier. So there exists a need of switching to novel natural sources to serve as non-immunogenic and better production sources of L-asparaginase. In the present study, four cultures of fungal endophytes viz. TSF-1, TSF-2, TSF-3 and TSF-4 selected on the basis of primary and secondary screening was carried on with L-asparagine as a sole carbon and nitrogen source and phenol red as pH indicator. The maximum protein content was observed to be present in TSF-2 i.e. 2.727 mg /mL and possessed maximum activity of 6.054 Units/ml. Sample was separated by SDS-PAGE, stained by silver staining, showed a single band with molecular weight of approximately ~45kDa.

Tuta absoluta; A Devastating Pest of Tomato: A Review
Authors: Poudel Abichal , Kafle Karuna
Published: November 2021

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a very important vegetable crop of the world. However, there is a huge loss in tomato production due to pest and disease incidence. Tomato leaf miner is a devastating pest of tomato and other Solanaceous crops in many vegetable crop growing areas around the world and it also attacks non-solanaceous crops. The larva is the most devastating stage of tomato leaf miner. After egg hatching, the larvae feed on tomato fruits, leaves, flower buds, and young shoots and create mines and galleries. Larval feeding may reduce tomato production by 80-100 % in an open field as well as in a plastic house if no control measures are carried out. Chemical control has been found ineffective due to a wide host range and has developed resistance to dozens of pesticides. Hence, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices involving mass trapping of the pest using pheromone trap, biological control by a predator, parasitoid, entomopathogenic microbes, including cultural practices should be implemented for the effective control of this pest.

Salah satu ide yang bertahan lama dalam ilmu organisasi adalah bahwa keberhasilan jangka panjang organisasi bergantung pada kemampuannya, untuk mengeksploitasi kemampuannya saat ini sambil secara bersamaan mengeksplorasi kompetensi baru yang mendasar (Levinthal dan March, 1993). Studi sebelumnya sering menganggap trade-off antara dua kegiatan ini tidak dapat diatasi, tetapi penelitian yang lebih baru menggambarkan organisasi ambidextrous yang mampu secara bersamaan mengeksploitasi kompetensi yang ada dan mengeksplorasi peluang baru.
Initial evidence for biased decision-making despite human-centered AI explanations
Authors: Scharowski Nicolas , Brühlmann Florian
Published: November 2021

In explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) research, explainability is widely regarded as crucial for user trust in artificial intelligence (AI). However, empirical investigations of this assumption are still lacking. There are several proposals as to how explainability might be achieved and it is an ongoing debate what ramifications explanations actually have on humans. In our work-in-progress we explored two posthoc explanation approaches presented in natural language as a means for explainable AI. We examined the effects of human-centered explanations on trust behavior in a financial decision-making experiment (N = 387), captured by weight of advice (WOA). Results showed that AI explanations lead to higher trust behavior if participants were advised to decrease an initial price estimate. However, explanations had no effect if the AI recommended to increase the initial price estimate. We argue that these differences in trust behavior may be caused by cognitive biases and heuristics that people retain in their decision-making processes involving AI. So far, XAI has primarily focused on biased data and prejudice due to incorrect assumptions in the machine learning process. The implications of potential biases and heuristics that humans exhibit when being presented an explanation by AI have received little attention in the current XAI debate. Both researchers and practitioners need to be aware of such human biases and heuristics in order to develop truly human-centered AI.

Based on social recent phenomenon people were not giving interst to utilize this opportunities to look for the truth instead of prioritizing emotions, preferences to justifying. This social atmosphere absolutely reduce the essential meaning of the ‘truth’ it self. The 'turh' and 'untruth' can not be seen clearly no longer. The capability to analyze by clear mind of intellect as one of the value of being religious human has been paralyzed. The truth is claimed by like or dislike to something. How religion especially Christianity has it’s crucial functions as a social intstitution by its value reduce the negative impacts of this phenomenon will be provide in this paper.Abstrak: Realitas Kemajuan Informasi dalam keseharian memperlihatkan bahwa masyarakat kian mengedepankan emosi, preferensi, rasa dan selera dalam berpendapat, berargumentasi dan bahkan menjustifikasi daripada mengedepankan akurasi fakta, ketepatan data, dan kesahihan informasi. Atmosfer kehidupan sosial seperti ini mereduksi perbedaan antara like-dislike dan benar-salah menjadi demikian tipis. Alih-alih menjalani proses nalar yang panjang dan melelahkan, masyarakat cenderung tergesa-gesa mengklaim sesuatu yang disukainya sebagai kebenaran, sebaliknya tergesa-gesa menganggap salah atau sesat sesuatu yang dibenci/tidak disukai. Ketertarikan untuk menganalisa dengan kemampuan intelaktual menurun.

Market atau pasar yang terus berkembang seiring berjalannya waktu membuat pasar pada saat ini menjadi jauh lebih kompetitif, kompleks, dan sulit untuk diprediksi. Berbagai challenge harus dihadapi oleh perusahaan mau itu secara internal ataupun eksternal. Namun tidak hanya tantangan yang muncul dan hilang di jalan yang harus dilewati perusahaan, melainkan juga terdapat opportunity atau peluang yang bisa digunakan oleh perusahaan untuk bersaing di pasar. Perubahan yang selalu terjadi di lingkungan pasar menuntut perusahaan untuk dapat beradaptasi dengan cepat terhadap perubahan dan terus bergerak secara fleksibel untuk dapat bertahan.Dalam mengatasi kemungkinan perubahan yang muncul, kombinasi strategi yang biasa dapat digunakan oleh perusahaan adalah ekploitasi dan eksplorasi. Inovasi yang terus-menerus harus dilakukan dengan memaksimalkan sumberdaya yang ada(eksploitasi) dan mencari sumber-sumber yang baru(eskplorasi) di saat yang bersamaan. Seorang ahli bernama Shirokova (2013) mengusulkan bahwa perusahaan untuk menggunakan strategi ambidexterity untuk dapat menyeimbangkan strategi ekploitasi beserta dengan eksplorasinya secara bersamaan. Keseimbangan yang berhasil dicapai oleh perusahaan akan berpengaruh pada performa perusahaan mau itu untuk jangka pendek ataupun panjang.

Association of Mental Fatigue due to Long-term Restrictive Measures with Reasoning: A COVID-19 Study
Authors: Manoochehri Majid , Šrol Jakub , Asl Fatemeh Asgharian , Mehdinasab Mona , Akhoundi Zakiya
Published: November 2021

Coronavirus Disease 2019 broke out in China at the end of 2019 and spread rapidly around the world. In response, many countries have adopted social distancing and lockdown measures. But restrictive measures resulted in many unwanted psychological consequences, including mental fatigue. Mental fatigue in turn is very likely to cause psychopathological disorders and cognitive malfunctions. A cognitive ability that is likely to be affected by mental fatigue is reasoning, while high reasoning ability is a prerequisite for compliance with restrictive measures. The present study aims to explore the association between mental fatigue and reasoning under the impact of long-term restrictive measures. The findings indicated that mental fatigue correlates negatively with cognitive reflection, while it has no significant association with general reasoning. The results also showed that mental fatigue correlates positively with the misperception of the preventive measures and negatively with the incomprehension of the restrictive measures. The implications of the results have been discussed.
Facing social and non-social sounds: Sighted and blind individuals spontaneously and selectively activate facial muscles in response to emotional vocalizations
Authors: Wołoszyn Kinga , Hohol Mateusz , Kuniecki Michal , Winkielman Piotr
Published: November 2021

The present study investigated facial responses to emotional sounds that represent social (e.g., laughter, screams) and non-social domains (e.g., instrumental music). Such cross-channel responses allow for examination of mechanisms involved in spontaneous mimicry. In order to address the role of visual experience in facial response to sounds, we compared sighted and blind individuals. To measure spontaneous responding, participants freely listened to the sounds. We used facial electromyography to record the activity of the corrugator supercilii (frowning) and the zygomaticus major (smiling) muscles. Results showed that social, but not equally rated, non-social sounds selectively elicited congruent facial responses. This occurred in both sighted and blind individuals, suggesting that facial response to social emotional sounds might not depend on a previous association with visual input (connecting a happy sound with seeing a happy face). Finally, facial responses to happy vocalizations were especially pronounced. This suggests that spontaneous facial responses to emotional sounds also reflect affiliative social goals. Overall, the pattern of results is consistent with simulationist approaches to emotional mimicry. Additionally, despite no differences between the groups in average facial responses, we observed the difference in the dynamics of the zygomatic response to human affect vocalizations. The altered pattern of facial responses to affect vocalizations may influence social interactions of blind and sighted persons.
Stress increases impulsive punishment avoidance in unmedicated mood disorders
Authors: Aberg Kristoffer , Paz Rony
Published: November 2021

In an intriguing study designed to test whether and how stress affects learning and decision making in anxious individuals, Aylward et al. (2019)1 used a restless four-armed bandit task, where threat of electric shocks was used to induce stress. They hypothesized that anxious individuals would learn faster from punishments under stress, and as a result, exhibit choices that are more affected by those punishments. Unfortunately, these hypotheses were not confirmed.Here, we re-analyzed the original dataset using behavioral models that incorporate different mechanisms that could account for punishment-related behavioral biases. We found evidence that support the original hypotheses, namely increased punishment-avoidance for anxious individuals during stress. The avoidance-behavior was driven by punishments that were presented following a sequence of neutral outcomes, and in turn increased the tendency to elicit an immediate avoidance response (rather than larger learning rates). This impulsive avoidance bias was particularly pronounced in anxious individuals during stress.
New Approaches to Visual Scale and Visual Shape
Authors: Linton Paul
Published: November 2021

Human 3D vision is thought to triangulate the size, distance, direction, and 3D shape of objects using vision from the two eyes. But all four of these capacities rely on the visual system knowing where the eyes are pointing. Dr Linton's experimental work on size and distance challenge this account, suggesting a purely retinal account of visual size and distance, and likely direction and 3D shape. This requires new accounts of visual scale and visual shape. For visual scale, he argues that observers rely on natural scene statistics to associate accentuated stereo depth (largely from horizontal disparities) with closer distances. This implies that depth / shape is resolved before size and distance. For visual shape, he argues that depth / shape from the two eyes is a solution to a different problem (rivalry eradication between two retinal images treated as if they are from the same viewpoint), rather than the visual system attempting to infer scene geometry (by treating the two retinal images as two different views of the same scene from different viewpoints). Dr Linton also draws upon his book, which questions whether other depth cues (perspective, shading, motion) really have any influence on this process.
Moving to opportunity: Student trajectories in the post-Bologna university system in Denmark
Authors: Thomsen Jens-Peter
Published: November 2021

This paper examines whether the implementation of the Bologna bachelor’s + master’s structure has been followed by an increase of university students from under-represented groups, and whether the Bologna structure has been accompanied by new forms of student mobility between Danish university institutions. Looking at student movements from bachelor’s to master’s degrees from 1993 to 2011, I do not find that the implementation of the Bologna structure has been followed by changes in the inclusion of under-represented groups. The social gap in progression to master’s degrees remained small and constant across the period. However, the formal instalment of a new transition point in the Danish university system (from bachelor’s to master’s) has provided bachelor’s degree holders with the opportunity to flee less lucrative fields of study and less prestigious institutions, and they increasingly do so. I discuss the implications of these movements in the light of the aim to make higher education more inclusive.

A Typology of Advisory Bodies in Legislatures and Research Perspectives
Authors: Acosta Matias , Nestore Matias , Jarquín María Estelí , Doubleday Robert
Published: November 2021

IntroductionRigorous scientific advice processes are becoming increasingly important and often used to develop evidence-informed policymaking. Most of the work has focused on investigating advisory processes for the Executive rather than for the Legislative branch. In this contribution, we developed a typology and evaluated current and emerging trends in legislative scientific advice processes. AimsThe aims of this work are to i) Develop a typology to inform academics about key characteristics and insights that can lead to new valuable research questions about legislative science advice, ii) Provide policymakers with information about scientific advice processes in legislatures worldwide so that they can use it for developing new or expand legislative advisory processes, iii) Evaluate emerging trends in scientific advice processes in legislatures for future research or practitioners' work.MethodsWe systematically analyzed literature for publications between 2014 and 2020 using Google Scholar, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and JSTOR. We used pre-defined terminology related to scientific advice in legislatures to search for peer-reviewed articles and complemented the information of the advisory scientific advisory bodies found using cross-references and grey literature. The unit of analysis for creating the typology and subsequent analysis was the legislative scientific advice body itself.ConclusionWe developed a typology that includes 12 categories defined to provide insights about the contextual background, mandate, structure, and process of advice of legislative advisory bodies. The analysis indicates that advisory bodies in different countries have a wide degree of politicization, with many advisory bodies being considerably politicized. Moreover, most of the work focused on advisory units is in western and high-income countries. There are open opportunities for research, such as doing further comparative analyzes and investigating staff roles in advisory bodies. Lastly, we found that foresight and horizon scanning methodologies were increasingly implemented in legislatures for participatory future-forward thinking advice and to set long-term priorities in agendas.

The subject of this paper is to analyse the provisions of the Act of 7th June 2001 on the Collective Water Supply and Collective Waste Water Disposal to the extent that they provide the regulatory body with the power to approve a tariff for collective water supply and collective waste water disposal. The authors show that the approval of tariffs by the regulatory authority does not constitute an act of supervision over local self-government within the meaning of Article 171 of the Constitution, and therefore this provision of the Constitution cannot constitute an adequate basis for the constitutional review of the provisions under analysis.

Fiction as Therapy
Authors: Aryan Arya
Published: November 2021

The Unnamable (1953) shows the breakdown of the Cartesian Cogito in a post-war soulless world in which its inhabitants suffer from disconnectedness. When the speaker’s consciousness breaks down and is no longer able to attribute the projections of its own consciousness to the self, he becomes incapable of ascertaining his own agency, authority and existence; hence the dissolution of the Cartesian Cogito. The condition is further exacerbated when the speaker who hears unattributable, disembodied authoritative voices finds himself in a universe where there is no one else to ascertain one’s existence. The sense of agency is therefore lost. Yet, the speaker, as in the fashion of AVATAR therapy for people with schizophrenia, attempts in writing, turning the voices into characters and stories and entering a dialogue with them to overcome his ontological insecurity in a universe that is generated out of his head and yet achieves an uncanny kind of independence. In other words, it is a therapeutic attempt to put the dismantled elements back into place in order to overcome the consequent ontological insecurity that this dissolution generates. This is done through a kind of quasi-corporeality that Steven Connor calls ‘the vocalic body.’ Nevertheless, as this paper argues, although being able to substantialise the voices, the Unnamable is still wavering between mediumship (being the medium of others’ voices) and agency.

Published: November 2021

Modification parts are found in Indonesia, one of which is suspension. This paper proves which after-market suspension has the best performance. These three suspensions were tested with a transient response with a test instrument that has an excitation height of 30 mm with a shaft rotational speed of 322 rpm. The observed responses are displacement and settling time. The test results without the addition of mass obtained a displacement of 25 mm for Aspira, 39 mm for AHM and 39 mm for Combiz. The addition of 30 kg mass resulted in 29 mm for Aspira, 38 mm for AHM and 23 mm for Combiz. Settling time without adding mass 1 s for Aspira and 1.2 s for AHM and 0.9 s for Combiz. With the addition of 30 kg mass obtained settling time of 1.3 s for Aspira, 1 s for AHM and 0.7 s for Combiz.

A numerical study to reduce the condenser pressure in critical areas of a power plant surface condenser has been carried out. Numerically, effects are considered through a three-dimensional simulation approach. Modifying by adding a guide plate with a three variation of angle, (?) 15?, 30?, 45? in the surface condenser area to reduce the dynamic forces and pressure due to the collision of fluid flow in the critical pipeline without reducing the purpose of the design of shell and tube heat exchanger results in transferring heat. The drag force caused by the interaction of the shear layer with the surface of the body is very undesirable, so that the control of the flow fields is needed, one of which is by optimal angle guide plate of the pipe arrangement in the critical area. This study aims to determine the optimal plate angle to overcome high pressure in the critical area. This research was numerically conducted using 3D CFD ANSYS 14.5 software with a turbulence model using a standard k-? using a pressure-based solution solver. The initial stage takes geometric data on the surface condenser in the design specification as the basis for making the domain and data from before as boundary conditions in the simulation research process. The result is that with the addition of guide plates, the average drag coefficient (Cd) is reduced compared to the average Cd in the baseline conditions and angle variation (?) 15?, 30?, 45? is 0.537; 0.644; 0.446; 0.464. Taking into this aspect, the most optimal plate angle is 30?. The simulation results show that changing the angle of the plate can reduce the Nusselt value than the baseline conditions.

The subject of the research is theoretical principles and practical proposals for improving the mechanisms of management and implementation of social responsibility (JI) at the level of agricultural enterprises, corporations (CSR) and other agribusiness and agribusiness entities in general. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the mechanisms of management and implementation of social responsibility of agricultural enterprises and corporations, taking into account current trends in informatization, innovation and competitive environment in practice. The methodological basis of the article is historical, monographic, system-structural analysis and synthesis, statistical-economic, problem-target. Results of work. The main results of the article are substantiation of theoretical aspects and development of practical proposals for improving the mechanisms of management and implementation of social responsibility (JI) at the level of agricultural enterprises, corporations (CSR) and other agribusiness and agricultural entities in general. It is determined that they mark a combination of interrelated components – institutional, organizational, financial and economic, incentives and motivation, which can be distinguished in separate systems quite conditionally. At the same time, social responsibility should undoubtedly be present as a constant factor in agricultural management as a kind of gratitude to business for economic benefits in the form of solving social and environmental problems. Therefore, the mechanisms of its implementation and management should be aimed at the end result: not only increasing the volume of JI, but also improving the reputation of agricultural enterprises, strengthening the image and on this basis – profitability. Therefore, the use of social responsibility mechanisms should be based on a business process approach. It is also necessary to take into account the increased role in the implementation of social responsibility and its management of information and informatization and digitization of activities. They contribute not only to its programming and effective management, but also to control over financial and other resources. Field of application of results. In educational institutions of higher education, in personnel management of agricultural enterprises, corporations. Conclusions. The structure of the integrated mechanism contains general information on the formation of social responsibility of economic entities. It has the form of interconnected blocks, the basis of which is based on the business process concept of management and business decisions aimed at developing and selecting the best possible alternative solutions to a particular problem. The proposed approach allows to develop an enlarged model that can be detailed, identifying the main stages of implementation of the mechanism of formation of social responsibility in the enterprises of agricultural and agro-industrial production in the future.

The purpose of this case study was to investigate the healing capabilities of low-frequency ultrasound therapy to heal chronic painful ulceration. In this case, a 61-year-old African American female with a past medical history of hypertension, chronic venous insufficiency, and ovarian cancer on chemotherapy presented to the clinic complaining of a painful chronic ulceration to the left ankle. The patient attributed the re-ulceration of this chronic wound to her current chemotherapy treatment drug doxorubicin. After the initial consultation, patient therapy that recommended was ultrasound therapy due to the patient stating the lesion was too painful for frequent sharp debridement in the clinical setting even when utilizing a topical anesthetic. The recommended interval treatments included a seven-minute session to the wound three times a week over a period of nine months. There were noted changes in the appearance of the wound base after the first week of therapy and changes in the size by the second week of therapy. Throughout the treatment regimen, the patient’s pain tolerance to the wound improved as well. After nine-month, there was noted complete healing of the tissues without any complications. In conclusion, ultrasound therapy often referred to as MIST therapy can be a useful device to heal chronic painful wounds in immunocompromised patients when therapy options are limited.
