دور سياسات التمويل الاسكاني في تقليل العجز السكني في مدينة أربيل للمدة 2005-2017
Authors: Saleh Twana F. , Aziz Maria H.
Published: March 2021

يهدف البحث إلى تحليل كفاءة سياسات التمويل الإسكاني، وآليات ووضع حلول للمشاكل التي تعاني منها مؤسسات الإقراض السكني في مدينة اربيل، واسباب عدم اللعب دور اساسي في تقليل العجز السكني في المدينة. في حين تكمن فرضية البحث في ان السياسات السكنية المتبعة في مدينة اربيل لم تتمكن من تقليل العجز السكني المتراكم بشكل كفوء. وان هناك مجموعة من الأساليب أو الإجراءات القادرة على وضع نظام تمويل إسكاني كفوء يقوم على أساس اشتراك القطاع العام والخاص ليساعد على حل مشكلة التمويل الاسكاني. ومع ذلك، يعاني مدينة اربيل خلال العقود الماضية وحتى الوقت الحاضر من وجود فجوة كبيرة بين الحاجة للوحدات السكنية وما معروض من هذه الوحدات. ويعود السبب في ذلك إلى عدم مقدرة الأسر على تلبية حاجتها من تلك الوحدات، لارتفاع أسعارها بشكل كبير ومحدودية التمويل أو الدعم لتلك الأسر ليساعدها في الحصول على شراء أو بناء وحدة سكنية، وخاصة الأسر محدودة الدخل أو متوسطة الدخل التي تشكل نسبة كبيرة من الأسر في هذة المدينة. إن عدم وجود نظام تمويل كفوء للإسكان وعدم مقدرته على توفير الدعم لتلك الأسر أدى إلى زيادة وتفاقم مشكلة العجز السكني وتراكم الحاجة السكنية للسنوات اللاحقة. وقد تم التوصل الى مجموعة من النتائج من أهمها الاسلوب المتبع في مدينة اربيل هو منح قروض بهدف بناء وحدة سكنية جديدة، حيث تمنح مبلغ من المال لبناء الوحدة السكنية الا انها لا تغطي كافة تكاليف البناء اي ان انخفـاض قيمة القروض السكنية التي تقدمها المؤسسات التمويلية التي لا تتناسـب مع كلفـة إنشاء الوحدة السكنية إذ إن القـرض الحالي لا يغطي سوى %50-%60 من كلفة البناء. وان احد اهم العوامل التي تؤثرعلى نجاح السياسات التمويل الاسكاني هي الاستمرارية على المدى الطويل لكي تحقق اهدافها. ففي مدينة اربيل لم تكن هناك سياسات مستديمة بشكل كامل بل اعتمد على ظروف البلد وامكاناتها في تمويل او توفير الاموال اللازمة، فعدم استمراريته اثرت بشكل واضح على مدى تحقيق اهدافها الاسكانية المخطط لها. وفي النتيجة لم يسـتطع سـوق السـكن في مدينة اربيل خلال المدة 2008- 2013 من تحقيق أكثر من %11 من الحاجة السكنية للمدة نفسها

Published: March 2021

The present paper covers the teaching and learning process of English language teaching in government schools of Andhra Pradesh. As the aim of the syllabus by the SCERT, Andhra Pradesh, the learners of English are expected to achieve proper communication skills to apply it in the global context. Bright and Marc Gregor (1978) have remarked that “there is no language learning without exposure” At this juncture mere knowledge of English, based upon listening, speaking, reading and writing directed towards acquisition of communication skills among high school students. The present study intended to find out the lacuna of primary skills in English language among the students at high school level. An Oxford dictionary defines lacuna as ‘an absent part’. This paper portrays the percentage of expected and achieved skills of the students which is technically the term called as ‘Lacuna’. Most of the students are promoted to the next classes without achieving all the skills expecting by the SCERT. Gradually the difference between expected and achieved skills have been increasing by the students year by year. At this juncture, it is very much needed to fill the lacuna between expected and achieved skills among the students for the strong foundation of the students in the field of communication skills.
Politics of Performance: a Study of Kandasamy’s Novel When I Hit You
Authors: Paul Subham
Published: March 2021

“…[T]he category “woman” as well as the category “man” are political and economic categories not eternal ones” as commented by Monique Wittig. However, in any patriarchal society these categories are treated to be eternal through repeated naturalisation determining ‘ideal’ gender roles for both the genders. In Kandasamy’s novel When I Hit You the ‘young wife’ started to imbibe and epitomise the role of an ‘ideal wife’ as determined by the patriarchal society. The novel emphasises on the performativity of the pre-assigned gender roles of the protagonist and the authoritative agencies of patriarchy determining her as “evil spirit” when faced with performative resistance. In this dialectics of performance and resistance the writer’s words become the tool of resistance for the marginalised ‘young wife’ of Kandasamy’s novel. Her criticism is not only against the construction of these gendered roles but also against their naturalisation and appropriation. The primary focus of this paper is thus to discuss the politics behind the gendered roles and the agenda of interpellation working behind the project of their naturalisation with a focus on the necessity of subversion of these roles for the protection of the individual self.
Tensile and Impact Properties of Hybrid Composites from Textile Waste

Published: March 2021

The rise of the textile industry in global fashion has caused a high level of post-consumer textile waste generation. Every year, million tons of textile waste has been sent to landfills that consequently leading to environmental pollution. This study aimed to use the textile waste for the development of hybrid composite laminate, together with the existing commercially available fibreglass. This research investigated the tensile properties and impact strength of textile waste hybrid composites. Three textile variants were used in this study, which is lycra, polyester and cotton, and they were either chopped or used as a full fabric. Hand lay-up and hot press technique were used to produce the sample materials, using epoxy resin as the binder. A total of 9 samples were prepared and their tensile and impact properties were assessed. Tensile test results showed that all hybrid composites have a better ultimate tensile strength and tensile modulus compared to their original raw fabrics, but not on the elongation property. It can be seen that the arrangement of fabrics has a distinctive effect on tensile and impact strength. All raw fabrics were greatly punctured during the failure, but all hybrid composites have barely visible impact damage on the front surface, and no penetration was observed. This study reveals that the reuse of textile waste and fibreglass for the development of hybrid composites has a huge potential to be used as substitutes in other composite materials. In the future, this will contribute to improving the sustainability of textile materials.

Authors: Konnov Pavel E. , Arsenieva Antonina A. , Tokarev Yuri A.
Published: March 2021

Rationale. Acne vulgaris is a widespread chronic disease with no age, gender, or race restrictions. It does not pose a direct threat to the patient's life, but is reflected in his psycho-emotional status, which requires appropriate medical intervention.
Purpose of the study. To study the psychoemotional status of patients aged 2224 years with moderate and severe acne and its changes during monotherapy with isotretinoin (Sotret).
Methods. In an open, non-randomized study lasting 12 months, 310 students of the Samara State Medical University were included (52% healthy, 33% with mild acne, 13% with a moderate degree, 2% with a severe degree). All patients in the study before treatment and after 3, 6, 12 months were assessed the severity of the course using the dermatological index of acne (DIA); quality of life assessment using the Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI scale); assessment of the psychological and social impact of acne using the APSEA questionnaire. All patients received monotherapy using the drug Erase. The median and interquartile distance Me (Q3-Q1) were indicated as descriptive statistics. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare related groups. The comparison was carried out with 95% confidence.
Results. An analysis of the assessment of the psychological and social status of patients with moderate and severe acne before treatment, 3, 6, 12 months after the start of treatment with isotretinoin (Erase) is presented. The study included 36 people (20 women and 16 men) aged 22 to 24 years with a disease duration from 1 to 10 years. The results of psychological testing at various intervals gave comparable data: all patients had a pronounced persistent level of social maladjustment. An important indicator of the effectiveness of acne therapy with isotretinoin is the frequency of cases of the formation of a persistent clinical effect from treatment, which is clearly expressed in the restoration of the psycho-emotional background of patients, improving the quality of life of patients.
Conclusion. An important indicator of the effectiveness of acne therapy with Erase is the frequency of cases of the formation of a stable clinical effect of treatment, which is clearly expressed in the restoration of the psycho-emotional background of patients, improving the quality of life of patients. The treatment allowed us to change the psychoemotional background of our patients for the better, which increased their motivation to study, communication, and the desire for self-development.
As transformações urbanas e os processos de projeto na arquitetura: uma reflexão sobre o filme “Onde está segunda?”
Authors: Gomes Yasmin Cruz , Santana Alexandre Machado , Vieira Núbia Santanna , Oliveira Sergio Rafael Cortes de
Published: March 2021

O presente trabalho apresenta reflexões a partir de uma análise de conteúdo do filme "Onde está Segunda?", lançado em 2017, que tem a narrativa desdobrada entre os anos de 2043 e 2073, retratando as problemáticas de escassez de recursos e a falta de espaço decorrentes do crescimento populacional acelerado. O enredo se debruça sobre a transformação do espaço urbano acompanhada dos avanços tecnológicos e a implantação de políticas públicas, incluindo o controle da natalidade com a “lei de alocação infantil”. Em uma perspectiva ficcionista, mas não distante da realidade atual, a cidade é abordada como palco de contradições no planejamento do espaço e de conflitos sociais sob a ótica das novas condições de vida urbana. Assim, este artigo faz uma interlocução da obra cinematográfica com as literaturas sobre a dinâmica da formação do espaço urbano e suas repercussões nas relações sociais e os processos de projeto na Arquitetura. No filme é possível perceber como se dá o uso da criatividade, da tecnologia e de práticas de processos de projeto na concepção das soluções de problemas de ordem social. No delineamento da análise apresentada, mostra-se como esses fatores, dependendo do modo como são articulados pela gestão, podem condicionar a segregação, inclusive espacial, reforçando as desigualdades sociais.
The robustness of magic state distillation against errors in Clifford gates
Authors: Jochym-O'Connor Tomas , Yu Yafei , Helou Bassam , Laflamme Raymond
Published: March 2021

Quantum error correction and fault-tolerance have provided the possibility for large scale quantum computations without a detrimental loss of quantum information. A very natural class of gates for fault-tolerant quantum computation is the Clifford gate set and as such their usefulness for universal quantum computation is of great interest. Clifford group gates augmented by magic state preparation give the possibility of simulating universal quantum computation. However, experimentally one cannot expect to perfectly prepare magic states. Nonetheless, it has been shown that by repeatedly applying operations from the Clifford group and measurements in the Pauli basis, the fidelity of noisy prepared magic states can be increased arbitrarily close to a pure magic state~\cite{Bravyi}. We investigate the robustness of magic state distillation to perturbations of the initial states to arbitrary locations in the Bloch sphere due to noise. Additionally, we consider a depolarizing noise model on the quantum gates in the decoding section of the distillation protocol and demonstrate its effect on the convergence rate and threshold value. Finally, we establish that faulty magic state distillation is more efficient than fault-tolerance-assisted magic state distillation at low error rates due to the large overhead in the number of quantum gates and qubits required in a fault-tolerance architecture. The ability to perform magic state distillation with noisy gates leads us to conclude that this could be a realistic scheme for future small-scale quantum computing devices as fault-tolerance need only be used in the final steps of the protocol.
The Early Steps of Molecule-to-Material Conversion in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A Case Study

Published: March 2021

Transition metal complexes with β-diketonate and diamine ligands are valuable precursors for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of metal oxide nanomaterials, but the metal-ligand bond cleavage mechanism on the growth surface is not clarified yet. We address this question by Density Functional Theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) in combination with the Bluemoon (BM) statistical sampling approach. AIMD simulations of the Zn β-diketonate-diamine complex Zn(hfa)2TMEDA (hfa = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionate; TMEDA = N,N,N’,N’-tetramethylethylenediamine) show that rolling diffusion of this precursor at 500 K on a hydroxylated silica slab leads to an octahedral-to-square pyramidal rearrangement of its molecular geometry. The free energy profile of the octahedral-to-square pyramidal conversion indicates that the process barrier (5.8 kcal/mol) is of the order of the thermal energy at the operating temperature. The formation of hydrogen bonds with surface hydroxyls plays a key role in aiding the cleavage of a Zn-O bond. In the square-pyramidal complex, the Zn center has a free coordination position, which might promote the interaction with incoming reagents on the deposition surface. These results provide a valuable atomistic insight on the molecule-to-material conversion process which, in perspective, might help to tailor by design the first nucleation stages of the target ZnO-based nanostructures.
The Artistry and Creative Process in the Making of Malang Masks in East Java | Kesenian dan Proses Kreatif dalam Penciptaan Topeng Malang di Jawa Timur
Authors: [n/a] Guntur
Published: March 2021

The creative process in Malang mask making has a strong tradition of creation which has produced a unique form. The Malang mask art has been popularized based on the Panji story. Despite being properties of an art performance, the masks are works of art. The visual characteristics of the faces and their carved ornaments are the main elements that determine the typology of the mask’s facial appearance. The characteristics of form, color, expression, and function create a unique style or identity of the group of traditional mask artists in Malang. Masks can be classified according to four general types of character: the figure of Panji, antagonistic characters, servants, and animals. In terms of the traditionality of creation, including aspects of material, technique, and function in the community of craftsmen, the style of the masks refers to previously existing forms. This essay is a qualitative description of the artistry of Malang masks, through the formation of the Panji story – based on kidung as indigenous stories in the practice of adaptive Hinduism – and leaning on a dichotomy with the Kakawin form. Malang masks are used by the wayang topeng community in art performances to present the narration of the Panji story – against the spiritual cultural background of the common people.
Process kreatif dalam pembuatan topeng Malang memiliki tradisi penciptaan yang kuat, dan telah menghasilkan bentuk yang khas. Topeng Malang dipopulerkan berdasarkan kisah Panji. Meskipun menjadi properti seni pertunjukan, topeng adalah karya seni. Karakteristik visual wajah dan ornamen ukir merupakan elemen utama yang membentuk tipologi perwajahan topeng. Karakteristik pada bentuk, warna, ekspresi, serta fungsi, menghasilkan gaya atau identitas unik dari kelompok seniman topeng tradisional di Malang. Klasifikasi topeng ada pada empat tipologi umum karakter tokoh: sosok Panji, tokoh antagonis, tokoh abdi, dan tokoh binatang. Dari sisi tradisionalitas penciptaan, yaitu aspek materialitas, teknik, dan fungsinya di komunitas perajin, gaya topeng mengacu kepada bentuk topeng yang ada sebelumnya. Esai ini mendeskripsikan secara kualitatif perwujudan artistik topeng Malang, melalui formasi kisah Panji - berdasarkan kidung sebagai cerita asli dalam praktek Hinduisme adaptif - dan bersandar pada dikotomi dengan bentuk Kakawin. Topeng Malang digunakan oleh masyarakat topeng wayang dalam pertunjukan seni untuk menampilkan narasi kisah Panji - dengan latar belakang kultural spiritual orang biasa.

Objective. To estimate a security of application of moderate hypothermia while performing the aortal arch reconstruction in new-born babies in conditions of selective antegrade cerebral perfusion.

Materials and methods. In 2010-2019 yrs period in Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery and Scientific-Practical Medical Centre of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardio-Surgery in 64 new-born babies the aortal arch reconstruction was performed in conditions of selective antegrade cerebral perfusion in moderate hypothermia. In the investigation only patients with a two-ventricle physiology, in whom further two-ventricular correction was conducted, were included. There were 48 (75%) boys and 16 (25%) girls. Median age of the patients was (1.6 ± 0.8) mo, median body mass - (3.8 ± 1.1) kg, median square of the body surface - (0.24 ± 0.04) m². Echocardiographic investigation and neurosonography were the main diagnostic procedures.

Results. Hospital mortality have constituted 4.7% (3 patients died). The death cases were not connected with the brain protection procedure. Duration of artificial blood circulation period have had constituted (138.4 ± 58.8) min at average, aortal clamping - (83.1 ± 40 min), selective antegrade cerebral perfusion - (24.4 ± 8.8) min. In 10 (15,6%) patients in early postoperative period the sternum persisted open. In 4 (6.2%) patients in early postoperative period convulsions were noted, which were treated successfully medicinally. Median stay in the Department of Reanimation and Intensive Therapy have constituted (7.1 ± 4.1) days. In late follow-up period the patients were seen from 1 mo till 8.5 yrs. No one patient died. While elective neurosonography conduction the brain pathological changes were absent. The neurological complications symptoms were absent as well.

Conclusion. Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion with moderate hypothermia constitutes effective and secure method of the brain protection while performance of the aortal arch reconstruction in new-born babies, using median surgical approach in conditions of artificial blood circulation.

Published: March 2021

Objective. Elaboration of effective and informative method of the small intestine viability determination for improvement of the surgical treatment results in pathologies, which need performance of resection of its segments.

Materials and methods. The work is considered as experimentally-clinic one. Its experimental part was conducted on the rats; temporary ischemia was simulated, using application of tourniquet on the intestinal loop, taken from abdominal cavity after doing laparotomy; the animals were distributed on the groups, depending on the ischemia duration applied. Clinical part of the investigation was performed on 68 patients, including a control group of 50 patients, in whom intestinal resection was done, taking into account subjective estimation of the gut viability, and the main group, consisted of 18 patients, in whom intestinal resection was performed, basing on the gut viability estimation data, obtained using the method elaborated.

Results. In the animals, on which temporary noncritical ischemia (up to 10 min) was simulated, the ischemia zone did not differed visually from other intestinal segments, while after persistence of ischemia up to 20- and 25-min the changes have had appeared necrotic with presence of peritonitis. Studying of intestinal specimen in the animals, in whom an acute ischemia was simulated, have shown the mostly expressed changes in endotheliocytes of microcirculatory bed, depending on duration of the ischemia dystrophic changes have been enhanced up to destructive. Total electric resistance (іmpedance) was measured on various frequencies. On all the frequencies, the raising of total electric resistance with more durable ischemia period was observed.

Conclusion. Changes of total electric resistance are reflecting the degree of the blood flow disorder in intestinal wall and may be exploited as a criterion of determination of its viability (capacity of the anastomosis to heal). Objectivization of estimation of the intestinal wall state reduces the quantity of resection of injured intestinal segment and the morbidity.
MODIFIED SIRD MODEL OF EPIDEMIC DISEASE DYNAMICS: A CASE STUDY OF THE COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS
Authors: Mitra Asish
Published: March 2021

The present study shows that a simple epidemiological model can reproduce the real data accurately. It demonstrates indisputably that the dynamics of the COVID-19 outbreak can be explained by the modified version of the compartmental epidemiological framework Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Dead (SIRD) model. The parameters of this model can be standardized using prior knowledge. However, out of several time-series data available on several websites, only the number of dead individuals (D(t)) can be regarded as a more reliable representation of the course of the epidemic. Therefore it is wise to convert all the equations of the SIRD Model into a single one in terms of D(t). This modified SIRD model is now able to give reliable forecasts and conveys relevant information compared to more complex models.
Fatigue assessment of an existing orthotropic steel deck to comply with future traffic intensity
Authors: Nagy Wim , Thierens Glenn , Blontrock Hendrik , De Backer Hans , Van Bogaert Philippe , Reynaert Kristel , Maljaars Johan
Published: March 2021

Orthotropic Steel Decks (OSDs) are widely used in long span bridges because of their extremely light weight when compared to their load carrying capacity. These deck types typically consist of a grillage of closed trapezoidal longitudinal stiffeners and transverse web stiffeners, welded to a deck plate. As a result, fatigue problems occur due to the extensive use of complex welded connections. Unfortunately, fatigue effects have often been overlooked during design, which was also the case for an important multiple span box girder viaduct in Belgium (1978).

Due to a renovation program of the ring road around Brussels, the number of traffic lanes on the viaduct should be extended from three to four. As a result, questions have been raised about the current structural health of the OSD due to fatigue and future fatigue damage accumulation. Therefore, extensive FEM analyses have been performed, taking into account various parameters such as increased traffic volume and accompanying axle loads, historical positions of the heavy lanes, historical road pavements and their temperature-dependent load spreading effects. In conclusion, accurate fatigue damages have been determined for all fatigue details. Therefore, focused inspections and design solutions can be provided, resulting in a durable bridge management for the next 60 years.
Sensitivity Studies of the Resilience of RC Columns to Various Fire Scenarios
Authors: Ni Shuna , Van Coile Ruben , Hopkin Danny , Khorasani Negar Elhami , Gernay Thomas
Published: March 2021

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures generally fare well under fire, but exhibit damage and residual deformations which require repairs. Besides the repair cost, the building downtime can also be expensive. However, current fire design approaches focus solely on life safety, and do not consider resilience. To improve post-fire performance of buildings, recover functionality, and facilitate fast reuse, an important step is to develop a predictive capability for the effect of a fire event on residual deformations and load-bearing capacity in structures. This research investigates the residual deformations in RC buildings after a fire, with a focus on the columns as one of the key structural members. The case study is a five-story RC frame building with a fire developing on the first story. Thermo-structural finite element analyses were used to analyze the columns performance under various fires. The sensitivity of the RC columns’ responses to main parameters related to fire characteristics, material properties and mechanical loading was analyzed. Based on the sensitivity studies, the most critical parameters were determined for the vulnerability of the RC columns to the different fire scenarios. These critical parameters will be used for the subsequent probabilistic damage evaluation of the RC columns and their design alternatives. The results will contribute to improved understanding of the effects of fire on the resilience of RC buildings and infrastructure, as well as the identification of designs which provide enhanced post-fire performance.
New facades for sustainable renovated buildings

Published: March 2021

In terms of rehabilitation of existing buildings, a new façade is often planned and build to make the building more sustainable. In more and more cases, not only new windows, but also completely new façades and even so-called double skin facades are being constructed. This second skin has several advantages like sound protection, possibility of natural ventilation, contribution to energy balance and others. The paper will give basic requirements and information about this type of facade. One recently realized project is a high rise building of more than 100m height in Munich, listed as a historic building – so additional attention to optical appearance was necessary. And moreover, curved insolation glass units had to be used; since there are no regulations, special theoretical investigations and calculations had to be carried out.

Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) is a high performance cementitious material with enhanced strength in tension and compression and significantly high energy absorption in the post crack region. Its mix composition is not much dissimilar from that of normal strength concrete. The main difference is that only fine aggregates are used in order to enhance the homogeneity of the mix, while microsilica is used to improve the density of the mix thereby reducing voids and defects. A high percentage of steel fibres is used to increase the tensile strength and at the same time to provide ductility.

UHPFRC has been recently introduced in applications such as bridge decks, thin slabs and for the strengthening of existing elements. Even if there are various published studies on the compressive, tensile and flexural characteristics of UHPFRC, the punching shear performance of UHPFRC without additional steel bars has not been sufficiently studied. In this paper an extensive experimental work has been conducted on UHPFRC tiles with various thicknesses and various percentages of steel fibres and tests have been conducted under a concentrated load. Using the experimental results, the punching shear characteristics of the various UHPFRC mixes have been evaluated and shear resistance values have been proposed.

This article aims to analyze two biographical films of Stephen Hawking in order to identify the representations of the scientist present in cinematographic works. For this, the investigation was based on film analysis and categorization following the main representations identified in the literature. The analysis identified the most common representations present in the scenes and sequences in which the protagonist acted, taking into account the context for certain actions of the scientist. The results indicated that the analyzed works, which belong to a biographical genre, are also bound to permeate stereotypes that contribute to a distorted view of the scientist and scientific work, just as it happens in other cinematic genres.

Application Earned Value Management (EVM) as a construction project control technique is not very common in the Republic of Iraq, in spite of the benefit from EVA to the schedule control and cost control of construction projects. One of the goals of the present study is the employment machine intelligence techniques in the estimation of earned value; also this study contributes to extend the cognitive content of study fields associated with the earned value, and the results of this study are considered a robust incentive to try and do complementary studies, or to simulate a similar study in alternative new technologies. This paper is aiming at introducing a novel and alternative method of applying Artificial Intelligence Techniques (AIT) for earned value management of the construction projects through using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to build mathematical models to be used to estimate the Schedule Performance Index (SPI), Cost Performance Index (CPI) and to Complete Cost Performance Indicator (TCPI) in Iraqi residential buildings before and at execution stage through using web-based software to perform the calculations in the estimation quickly, accurately and without effort. ANN technique was utilized to produce new prediction models by applying the Backpropagation algorithm through Neuframe software. Finally, the results showed that the ANN technique shows excellent results of estimation when it is compared with MLR techniques. The results were interpreted in terms of Average Accuracy (AA%) equal to 83.09, 90.83, and 82.88%, also, correlation coefficient (R) equal to 90.95, 93.00, and 92.30% for SPI, CPI and TCPI respectively. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091666 Full Text: PDF
DETERMINANTS OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES IN INDIA
Authors: Verma Aman , Bhakri Suman
Published: March 2021

Motivation/Background: A country holds foreign exchange reserves for maintaining liquidity and safety. The country possess certain amount of foreign reserves to meet their day to day operations and to meet the unforeseen contingencies. The optimum level of reserves helps a country to be self-reliant and have a self-sufficiency to meet their payment obligations.

Methods: The paper has used double log regression model to find out the relevant and significant determinants of foreign exchange reserves in India. There are several factors like exchange rate regime, quality of institutions, history of financial crisis, degree of openness, country to country differences, dominate in conceptualizing and measuring reserve adequacy for any country.

Results: The results of the current study shows that inflow of FDI, exchange rate, exports, short term debt and time affects the value of foreign exchange reserves in India.

Conclusion: The study concludes that there are four major macroeconomic factors that affect the value of foreign exchange reserves and it is statistically significant also.  The current paper can be of great use for the policy makers of India, in a way that they should consider the relevant determinants of foreign exchange reserves while accumulating it.

Published: March 2021

Purpose: To create a framework for consensus on the assessment and monitoring of psychosocial risks by taking the opinions of key people from relevant experts and institutions in Turkey.
Methods: A modified Delphi Study was conducted with key experts from different stakeholders and institutions working on psychosocial risk assessment and monitoring policy and practice in Turkey. Representation was not aimed. Purposive and convenient sample was selected by including tripartite structure of occupational health perspective. The study was conducted on June and July 2019 via internet. Two rounded survey method was used to get information from the participants.
Results: The participants were agreed on workload, lack of job security, overwork, the low quality of leadership, insufficient wages, underemployment, mobbing, bullying and discrimination are the most important psychosocial risks in Turkey. Psychosocial risk assessments were not carried out in workplaces due to non-prioritization and negligence. The awareness on psychosocial risks at work is low and no standard approach has been identified in psychosocial risk monitoring. There is a need for an action plan supported by many different disciplines, stakeholders and institutions. Legal infrastructure and guideing is needed for psychosocial risk assessment. Competence of OHS professionals should be ensured for the efficient execution.
Conclusion: Legal regulations and complementary documents are necessary to guide employers and OHS professionals while conducting psychosocial risk management. These actions should be handled with all participation of social partners, sectoral and professional associations.
How College Students Assess the Threat of Infectious Diseases: Implications for University Leaders and Health Communicators

Published: March 2021

Higher education institutions and their students face a wide range of infectious disease threats (IDTs). However, there is a lack of theory-driven research on how to provide communication for multiple IDTs to motivate protective action taking. To close this gap, this study focuses on college students and two IDT types: respiratory and sexually transmitted infections. We tested an IDT appraisal model with data from an online survey conducted at two U.S. universities with 842 students. Findings indicate that IDT type led to different patterns of threat appraisal and protective action taking intentions. More specifically, participants perceived sexually transmitted threats as significantly more predictable and more controllable than respiratory threats. Participants also had higher intention to take protective action in response to respiratory threats than sexually-transmitted threats. We also found that external attribution-dependent (EAD) emotions (i.e., anger, sadness, surprise, and confusion) and an internal-attribution-dependent (IAD) emotion (i.e., hope) were sequential mediators in the relationship between IDT appraisal and protective action taking intentions for both infectious disease types. Implications for IDT communication research and practice are discussed.
