Authors: Devi Shallu
Published: February 2023

The geopolitical situation of Afghanistan is drastic and hence the demolition of the country has started after the comeback of Taliban and withdrawal of American forces. Recently, the third Regional Security Dialogue on Afghanistan was held in New Delhi on September 10, 2021. (NSAs). In 2018 and 2019, Iran hosted the forum's initial two meetings. Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan agreed with India's National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval. There were two individuals who were absent. Moeed Yusuf, Pakistan's national security adviser, rejected the offer in writing, stating that "a spoiler (India) cannot be a mediator." Chinese authorities reported "scheduling problems." Given the current state of affairs in Pakistan, the refusal was not unexpected. China's absence indicates that Pakistan would continue to direct China's Afghanistan strategy. So, this is found to be a known situation for Indian leaders but these situations forces India to stay updated with the developments and hence modify their role in Afghanistan. The paper aimed to understand the redefining role of India in Afghanistan and hence it tried to determine the situation, strategies, plans and actions of India with Afghanistan. After a details exploratory examination, it has been found that yes, ofcourse, the role of India is changing but the recent developments has gave a significant power to Indian leadership which can help in creating betterment facilities for the welfare of people of both the nations in coming future.

It is the virtual world that has come to the rescue. It has not only enormous consequences but having a devastating impact on global education. Everyone shifting to the digital arena in the education sector. Online learning has dramatically changed the learning process, replacing traditional face-to-face interaction and gaining ground around the globe. Online learning at home requires children to rely on intrinsic motivation and self-directed learning. Parents play a fundamental role in supporting children’s learning. The study explores the perception of parents of online learning during deadly Corona Virus Disease-19. For this purpose, a survey has been organized using a five-point Likert scale to collect data from parents through WhatsApp, one of the social media application software. This study has been conducted by taking a sample of 52 parents of children who are studying from pre-nursery to fifth class. The data has been analyzed with the help of Google forms qualitatively. As a response of parents due to the COVID-19 crisis, this study indicated that the majority of parents are capable to support their child’s learning at home but some parents considered that homeschooling is a burden for their child. Nearly one-third of them reported that their child becomes techno-savvy through online learning but the concentration level of the child has reduced. Half of them (50%) considered that they help their child in his/her homework to reduce academic stress. Also, the findings lay bare that an equal number of respondents reveal that online learning make their children independent but they also have views that the purpose of online learning is just to collect fees from parents. Nearly less than half of the parents receive all the information from the child’s teacher to support online learning.

Authors: Kumar Pawan
Published: February 2023

India is basically country of villages. Our entire system is based on the villages. Besides the increasing urban population, after more than seven decades of independence our economy is depending on agro based. Presently, more than Seventy percent of the population still resides in the villages. Keeping in broader prospect of Indian society, rural development is one of the major aspects of India System. Without rural development, development of Indian society is not possible. Our past experience proves that without participation of rural masses, rural development is not possible. Hence there is close relationship between the Panchayti raj Institutions and rural development. Panchayats have been the backbone of grassroots democracy in the Indian villages from ancient times. The 73rd constitutional Amendment Act granted constitutional status to the grassroots system and gave more powers to implementation of rural development programmes, policies and schemes. Himachal Pradesh is one of ideal state of India. It came in to being on 15th April 1948. Before the formation of Himachal Pradesh, no attention was paid to economic development and social welfare of the people in princely states. Only some efforts were made by the rulers in their states. The systematic evaluation of resources and their scientific exploitation was started in only after the formation of Himachal Pradesh as full-fledged state. It is only then that the people and the government of the Pradesh started making concerted efforts to improve socio economic condition of the people. Present paper evaluates the role of Panchayats in rural development in Himachal Pradesh. The study is based on the secondary data.

Published: February 2023

Crystalline lithium fluoride (LiF) has been intensively pursued as potential alternative solid electrolytes (SEs) owing to its excellent chemical and electrochemical oxidation stability, and good deformability. However, due to its low ion conductivity, LiF is still challenging for practical SE applications. Herein, Li-Zr-F composite-based SE by liquid-mediated synthesis is proposed to be studied. methanol (CH3OH) was mainly evaluated as a liquid-mediated precursor for synthesizing Li-Zr-F composites under the stoichiometric proportion of LiF and ZrF4 (2:1 and 2:0.8) and a subsequent annealing process at 25°C/150°C, 50°C/150°C, and 70°C/150°C, respectively. X-ray diffraction results revealed that the Li-Zr-F composites could be crystallized in the three main types of phase formations, including Li2ZrF6 ( ), Li2ZrF6 ( ), and Li4ZrF8 ( ) octahedron structures. In addition, the effect of cation stack sublattice synthesized by methanol mediator on the ion conduction of Li-Zr-F composites was investigated by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Through the Zr4+-substitution, Li2ZrF6 ( )-based SE exhibited the highest ion conduction which was increased to 2.40 × 10-8 S/cm and 3.89 × 10-8 S/cm under the stoichiometric proportion of LiF and ZrF4 2:0.8 at a dried temperature of 50°C/150°C with, respectively. A 0.21 eV activation energy ( ) was achieved for a battery with Li2ZrF6 ( )-based SE. Meanwhile, LiF exhibited up to 0.78 eV leading to a low kinetic rate for ion diffusion. These results implied that Li2ZrF6 ( )-based SE was successfully synthesized under the optimal condition of CH3OH-50°C/150°C which could improve the ion-conductivity of LiF.
Characterizing e-Cigarette–Related Videos on TikTok: Observational Study
Authors: Xie Zidian , Xue Siyu , Gao Yankun , Li Dongmei
Published: February 2023

Background

As a popular social networking platform for sharing short videos, TikTok has been widely used for sharing e-cigarettes or vaping-related videos, especially among the youth.

Objective

This study aims to characterize e-cigarette or vaping-related videos and their user engagement on TikTok through descriptive analysis.

Methods

From TikTok, a total of 417 short videos, posted between October 4, 2018, and February 27, 2021, were collected using e-cigarette or vaping-related hashtags. Two human coders independently hand-coded the video category and the attitude toward vaping (provaping or antivaping) for each vaping-related video. The social media user engagement measures (eg, the comment count, like count, and share count) for each video category were compared within provaping and antivaping groups. The user accounts posting these videos were also characterized.

Results

Among 417 vaping-related TikTok videos, 387 (92.8%) were provaping, and 30 (7.2%) were antivaping videos. Among provaping TikTok videos, the most popular category is vaping tricks (n=107, 27.65%), followed by advertisement (n=85, 21.95%), customization (n=75, 19.38%), TikTok trend (n=70, 18.09%), others (n=44, 11.37%), and education (n=6, 1.55%). By comparison, videos showing the TikTok trend had significantly higher user engagement (like count per video) than other provaping videos. Antivaping videos included 15 (50%) videos with the TikTok trend, 10 (33.33%) videos on education, and 5 (16.67%) videos about others. Videos with education have a significantly lower number of likes than other antivaping videos. Most TikTok users posting vaping-related videos are personal accounts (119/203, 58.62%).

Conclusions

Vaping-related TikTok videos are dominated by provaping videos focusing on vaping tricks, advertisement, customization, and TikTok trend. Videos with the TikTok trend have higher user engagement than other video categories. Our findings provide important information on vaping-related videos shared on TikTok and their user engagement levels, which might provide valuable guidance on future policy making, such as possible restrictions on provaping videos posted on TikTok, as well as how to effectively communicate with the public about the potential health risks of vaping.

Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

Postoperative deterioration is often preceded by abnormal vital parameters. Therefore, vital parameters of postoperative patients are routinely measured by nursing staff. Wrist-worn sensors could potentially provide an alternative tool for the measurement of vital parameters in low-acuity settings. These devices would allow more frequent or even continuous measurements of vital parameters without relying on time-consuming manual measurements, provided their accuracy in this clinical population is established.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess the accuracy of heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) measures obtained via a wearable photoplethysmography (PPG) wristband in a cohort of postoperative patients.

METHODS

The accuracy of the wrist-worn PPG sensor was assessed in 62 post–abdominal surgery patients (mean age 55, SD 15 years; median BMI 34, IQR 25-40 kg/m2). The wearable obtained HR and RR measurements were compared to those of the reference monitor in the postanesthesia or intensive care unit. Bland-Altman and Clarke error grid analyses were performed to determine agreement and clinical accuracy.

RESULTS

Data were collected for a median of 1.2 hours per patient. With a coverage of 94% for HR and 34% for RR, the device was able to provide accurate measurements for the large majority of the measurements as 98% and 93% of the measurements were within 5 bpm or 3 rpm of the reference signal. Additionally, 100% of the HR and 98% of the RR measurements were clinically acceptable on Clarke error grid analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

The wrist-worn PPG device is able to provide measurements of HR and RR that can be seen as sufficiently accurate for clinical applications. Considering the coverage, the device was able to continuously monitor HR and report RR when measurements of sufficient quality were obtained.

Because the number of private cars has expanded, drunk driving has become more and more frequent. The detection of a driver’s alcohol concentration has become the focus of attention. Therefore, infrared alcohol detection was studied. The principle of infrared blood glucose noninvasive detection was investigated, and it was compared with infrared spectrum detection. Finally, using transmission technology and an infrared emitter and receiver, an infrared alcohol identification circuit was designed by NBohr’s Law and the Correcting Beer-Lambert Law. It was composed of an infrared acquisition circuit, an infrared electronic filter circuit, and an infrared amplifier circuit. And the infrared alcohol identification circuit was composed of multiple circuits in series and parallel. At various pins on the first AD844AN, the infrared electronic filter circuit receives an alternating current source voltage of 1000V with a basic signal frequency of 60 Hz. At the input end, the infrared amplifier circuit receives a current signal with a frequency of 1 Hz and an amplitude of 5 uA and performs the reproduction experiment using Multisim. As a result of the signal being upgraded to fulfill the objective of recognition, distinct information reappears and exhibits different waveforms.

Authors: Pan Jiaolan , Ricamora Maria Sharonn
Published: February 2023

It has been observed that recently, some female students are particularly irritable when they mention studying. Sometimes they want to sit down and study, but when they sit at their desks, they start to wander, and they are listless and sometimes in a daze. When they appear in this state, they will be confused, they know that the problem does exist, but they do not know why there is such a problem? As a result, they become less and less attentive in class, less efficient in their studies, and their academic performance begins to decline. Educational psychology believes that this is the behavior of students who lose interest in learning, produce learning burnout, and avoidance. The purpose of this paper is to find out the reasons for the learning burnout of these female students through interviews, and propose some corresponding solutions to this, so that teachers can effectively reduce the recurrence of such things in future education and teaching.

Nanostructured Lipid Carriers of Eperisone Hydrochloride using Quality By Design Approach
Authors: Bagde Shapali , Mamidi Hemanth Kumar
Published: February 2023

Objective: The current work involves formulation development of nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) of eperisone hydrochloride (EPE) using quality by design (QbD) approach.

Materials and Methods: Initial screening of solid and liquid lipids was performed based on the Hansen solubility parameters of EPE and the lipids and later confirmed using saturation solubility studies. The optimum formulation was identified using three-squared randomized full factorial design. High shear homogenization coupled with ultrasonication was used to prepare the NLCs. The effect of the independent variables on the dependent variables was analyzed using response surface graphs and ANOVA. The optimized formulation is characterized for mean particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, in vitro drug release and subjected to stability testing.

Results and Discussion: Precirol® ATO 5, CapryolTM 90, and Pluronic® F127 are found to be ideal solid lipid, liquid lipid and surfactant respectively based on the initial screening. Amount of lipid mixture (X1) and the amount of surfactant (X2) were selected as independent variables and the entrapment efficiency (Y1), mean particle size (Y2) and zeta potential (Y3) were selected as dependent variables. The optimized NLC formulation has mean particle size of 175 nm, zeta potential -24.4 mV and entrapment efficiency of 78.64%. The in vitro drug release data suggested that the drug release follows Quasi-Fickian diffusion. The stability data showed that the NLCs are stable up to 3 months at refrigerated conditions.

Conclusions: The Hansen solubility parameter approach coupled with QbD is a powerful tool for formulation of sustained release NLCs of highly soluble poorly soluble drugs.

Catechin content in tea plant is a major character in tea breeding program for a healthy beverage. A tea breeding program for high catechin content maybe will performed by indirect selecting a trait or traits that signiÂ­ficantly correlated with high catechin content. This research was performed to identify morÂ­phological traits which maybe significantly correlated with high catechin content in tea plant. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used in this experiment using 10 selected clones. The experiment was performed in Gambung Experimental Station ot the Research Institute for Tea and Cinchona, Gambung, West Java. Catechin content, triÂ­choma density of young leaves, weight of p+2, size of mother leaves, chlorophyll content of mother leaf, stomatal density of mother leaf, mother leaf thickness, and mother leaf angle, were measured. The results indicated that stomatal density and mother leaf angle were significantly correlated. Based on path analysis indirect selection for high catechin content could be performed by selecting stomatal density considering to trichoma density, mother leaf angle and chlorophyll content. In addition, indirect selection for high catechin content could be performed by selecting other leaf angle independently without considering other morphological traits.

The authors discuss the course of processing the terrestrial laser scanning survey data (TLS). The aim of the study is to assess the accuracy of creating digital elevation models (DEMs) depending on the scanning step. As initial data, a stitched and oriented cloud of points of the surveyed surface in the territory of the industrial site was taken; it was subsequently used to create digital elevation models using the TIN method. At the next stage of the study, 6 surveys with different scanning steps (from 0,3 m to 5 m) were artificially simulated in the Cyclone software; after that a comparative analysis of the obtained DEMs building accuracy was carried out. The main indicator of model precision is the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD). In the course of the study, the quality of making a digital elevation models was assessed and the dependence of the surface construction error on the increase in the scanning step was determined.

Published: February 2023

Desde finales del siglo XIX, cuando se crearon los primeros laboratorios de investigación en Colombia, y a principios del siglo XX, con la creación de las primeras sociedades científicas, se empezó a gestar una forma de trabajo en investigación que se fue replicando y extendiendo durante décadas a diferentes lugares del país. En esta forma de trabajo existía una baja colaboración con otros centros, ya fuera por problemas de comunicación, falta de cooperación en algunas áreas o, simplemente, por protección de la información.
