Perceptions and Legal Outlooks on Workplace Sexual Harassment in Global Setting: A Review Based Study
Authors: Paudel Manusha , Khanal Prabha
Published: March 2023

Globally, sexual harassment is a common phenomenon and occurred before formulating its name sexual harassment. ILO focused on it and said that sexual harassment at work will not be tolerated and must end worldwide. The primary objective of this study is to examine the idea of workplace harassment and its legal aspects globally. This is a review-based study and has been grounded on authentic sites such as google scholar, academia, jstor, and electronic libraries to explore the context. Among a few governments Sweden was the first to adopt legislation and organized seminars and highlighted workplace sexual harassment including anti-bullying laws. Likewise, international organizations and conventions such as CEDAW, ILO, and women's conferences have included provisions on sexual harassment in the workplace. Anti-sexual harassment acts have come into effect in many countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Turkey, and Nepal. Additionally, from the global level, the Me-too movement assisted to speak up on sexual harassment. However sexual harassment in the workplace continues. Despite the sexual harassment acts and laws, employers continue to ignore the incidences of harassment. Therefore, both employers and employees need to work towards creating a safer workspace, and free from harassment by formulating and implementing policies based on the country’s acts and protocols for prevention.

Diaspora in the Cyberspace: Assertion of Identity, Virtual Home, and International Politics
Authors: Singh Jay
Published: March 2023

Developments in the field of science and technology revolutionized the field of information technology that culminated in the superhighways of internet that enabled not only the fasted transfer of information but also the cyberspace, a virtual world parallel to the physical world. However it is not a neutral space the same power struggles, hierarchies, and hegemonies which are present in the physical world also contaminate the virtual space. This parallel universe though owned by transnational capitalists provides a space and means to register dissenting voices which is central to diaspora narratives along with many other dissenting groups. It provides an opportunity to the otherwise dispersed diaspora groups to meet each other, unite as a comprehensive community, and constitute a virtual nations in the cyberspace. Though it provides a platform to the dissenting voices, it is not neutral and completely benign. According to some scholars it is the strongest tool of neo-colonialism. Despite its negative aspects the cyberspace has emerged as an alternative space alongside physical space and its physical and ideological dimensions are felt across all spheres of life ranging from economic, political, and socio-cultural to innumerable other spheres. To understand this complex relationship between citizens, nation states, indigenous communities, and diaspora in the cyberspace this research paper brings in Benedict Anderson’s idea of imagined communities along with Michael Foucault’s idea of knowledge and power and foregrounds the complexities of the diaspora’s relationship with it.
Exposition of Body Aesthetics: Reading Koirala’s Sumnima and Parijat’s Shirisko Phool
Authors: Gautam Mani Bhadra
Published: March 2023

Sumnima and Shirisko Phool deal with the subject matter of body aesthetics. Koirala’s Sumnima exposes vivacious Sumnima body with ‘strong sense of heroism’ that she straightens in front of dry body, idealistic notion of Somdatta and Parijat’s Shirisko Phool reveals the causes and consequences of Suyogbir’s kissing that kills Bari. Suyogbir fails to preserve his military ethics and social prestige while he is mad in Bari’s bodily beauty and behaviors. Somdatta’s spiritual salvation of Khas-Aryan stocks in the name of achieving divinity by the power of penance makes victim to a Kirat girl, Sumnima, for a long and she ultimately marries with a village boy from Kirat community and gives birth to a daughter. Comparative study compares two or more than two people, places, things, arts, culture/religion and literature and this is a comparative study on Koirala and Parijat characters’ body aesthetics in Sumnima and Blue Mimosa. This comparative study’s objective is to bring prolong history of body aesthetics of Suryadatta, Somdatta, Bhilla, Puloma and Sumnima in Sumnima and Suyogbir, Shivaraj, Mujura, Sanu and Sakambari in Shirisko Phool for which I take theoretical support from Susan Bassnett, Charles Bernheimer, Jonathan Culler, David Ferry, Guillen Clandio, Jost Francis, Remak H.H.etc.’s ideas. Koirala and Parijat characters expose body aesthetics, experience ups and down of social practices and continue and/or break throw them from multiple aspects. The narratives in Sumnima and Blue Mimosa also focus on divine power for spiritual living, too but this study highlights an exposition of body aesthetics.
Michael K’s Zoological Life in Coetzee’s Life and Times of Michael K: An Agmbenian Insight
Authors: Sharma Pradip
Published: March 2023

This paper explores Michael K’s zoomorphic life in The Life and Times of Michael K. Zeroing in on J.M. Coetzee’s novel, I argue that K’s relegation to creaturely life permeated by the colonial regime substantiates Giorgio Agamben’s ‘bare life,’ life subjected to suffering and injustice. K, a socially excluded man suffers in riot run Cape Town. His preference to cave life verifies his zoological life which sharply ridicules Foucauldian claim of life proliferating biopolitical governmentality. Rather the socio-political injustice K witnesses problematizes Agamben’s analytics of homo sacer, a liminal human figure pushed away from the socio-political security. Thus, linking the liminal life of K with homo sacer, this article examines his animalized life (zoé) when he witnesses the ripping off his political life (biós) during the civil war. The declaration of emergency, intimidation, and forced labor camp exercised by the state offers him docile and bestialized life undistinguished from biós and zoé. This article discusses on how overarching biosovereign power subjects K to embody precarity and outlawry that begets him a bare life. Finally, it creates an academic avenue in Life and Times of Michael K to make a biopolitical discourse in humanities.
Folk, Rituals and Political Change: A Contextual Reading of Bruised Evening
Authors: Rijal Shiva
Published: March 2023

One of the major characteristics of politic al and social change is the shift that takes place in the perceptions about polity and identity of people. During such shifting times, writers and artists dare to articulate public aspirations through aesthetic expressions of new order. Like political leaders and social activities, creative writers and artists too own up the responsibility of talking about the presentism by taking a stand about the methodology of looking at the history of both the nation as well as of the modes of expression. Evoking such shifting nature of aesthetic forms and expressions, the famous twentieth century English theatre and culture critic Raymond Williams writes:

THE INFLUENCE OF MODERN INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES ON THE MOTOR ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS
Authors: Salamakha O. , Chekhovska A.
Published: March 2023

The article reveals the features of using modern innovative technologies to increase the motor activity of students. Modern methods for determining the optimal level of motor activity for people of different age categories were analyzed. Methods of increasing motor activity using modern innovative technologies have been determined. The article describes the characteristics and features of the use of innovative educational technologies in the physical education of students. In the scientific work, the organizational and methodical features of the use of interactive teaching methods to increase the level of motor activity are given. Modern forms of activity organization in the system of extracurricular activities are revealed. Overcoming passivity involves: a certain consistency in changing negative instructions and creating new behavior; a pedagogically justified complex of educational influences aimed at changing the negative behavior of a student and at changing the negative stereotype of his behavior. Overcoming the negative attitude to motor activity involves changing the ratio of effective - practical and educational functions in education.

The main manifestation of a passive attitude to physical culture in most cases is the absence of students from classes without a good reason, and sometimes there is a certificate from a doctor. In modern scientific and methodical works, the issue of measurement and assessment of the mode of motor activity is considered quite widely, the daily and weekly volumes of motor activity of persons of different ages and physical condition are investigated using the Framingham method; regularities and interrelationships of motor activity and physical condition were studied.
Physical education and sports as a means of increase the level of motivation to the defense capacity of the state
Authors: Galan Y.
Published: March 2023

Numerous studies prove the fact that in the modern world, it is possible to ensure the state's defence capability only through cooperation with various fields, including physical education and sports. One of the important aspects of ensuring a reliable degree of the state's national security is its own combat-ready armed forces, which should include persons with an appropriate level of physical training and health condition. Currently, taking into account the break out of the COVID-19 pandemic, an insufficient level of physical activity is observed among young children, which poses a serious problem and a threat to modern society and its defence capability in the future. Scientific substantiation of pedagogical conditions, namely methods and means aimed at ensuring the effective development of schoolchildren's motor qualities, and their attitude to physical culture and sports is one of the most important and promising tasks aimed at improving the defence system of Ukraine. The future of the state depends on the current generation. The state's defence capability is the ability to defend itself in case of armed aggression or armed conflict, which is why physical culture and sports play a decisive role in this process. Various studies provide evidence that the foundation that affects a country's defence capability is laid in childhood.

The relevance of the mentioned issue lies in the formation and selection of the main pedagogical conditions for the popularization of physical education and sports as a means of the defence capability of the state and the protection of its sovereignty. Pedagogical conditions are a category defined as a system of certain forms, methods, means, material conditions, and real situations that are objectively developed or subjectively created, necessary to achieve a specific pedagogical goal.

One of the universal and most effective means of defence capability is physical activity, a healthy lifestyle, physical culture and sports, which enable us to raise healthy and strong defenders. The level of Ukraine's defence capability in the future depends on the extent to which schoolchildren will be involved in motor activity, a healthy lifestyle, and physical education and sports.

The condition of the body being short and very short to exceed the deficit of -2 SD below the median length or height of the child is called Stunting. Stunting is also an impact caused by malnutrition from before pregnancy, during pregnancy or because there are comorbidities in pregnancy. Stunting can occur when a newborn is born. The length category of a newborn is based on the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2020 concerning Child Anthropometric Standards. Assessment of the nutritional status of children, the length of the baby boy is said to be short (stunting) if 46 cm and said to be tall if 53.7 cm. Meanwhile, the length of a baby girl is categorized as short (stunting) if it is 45.4 cm and is said to be tall if it is 52.9 cm. Many factors affect stunting at the time of newborns, namely teenage pregnancy, KEK pregnant women, pre-pregnancy BMI, chronic hypertension, and maternal height. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between risk factors in pregnant women and the incidence of stunting in newborns. This study aims to determine the general description of risk factors in pregnant women and the relationship between maternal risk factors in newborns. This type of research is quantitative research with a retrospective design. The tools and materials in this study used secondary data in the cohort and RM in the Banjarnegara 2 Health Center area, with a population of all mothers giving birth at the Banjarnegara 2 Health Center in 2019. The sample was taken from the population, the researchers used purposive sampling with a total sample of 300 respondents. with the Che square test.

Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVES: Early diagnosis of triple-negative (TN) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer is important due to its increased risk of micrometastatic spread necessitating early treatment and for guiding targeted therapies. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of machine learning (ML) classification of newly diagnosed breast masses into TN versus non-TN (NTN) and HER2+ versus HER2 negative (HER2−) breast cancer, using radiomic features extracted from grayscale ultrasound (US) b-mode images. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective chart review identified 88 female patients who underwent diagnostic breast US imaging, had confirmation of invasive malignancy on pathology and receptor status determined on immunohistochemistry available. The patients were classified as TN, NTN, HER2+ or HER2− for ground-truth labelling. For image analysis, breast masses were manually segmented by a breast radiologist. Radiomic features were extracted per image and used for predictive modelling. Supervised ML classifiers included: logistic regression, k-nearest neighbour, and Naïve Bayes. Classification performance measures were calculated on an independent (unseen) test set. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity (%), and specificity (%) were reported for each classifier. RESULTS: The logistic regression classifier demonstrated the highest AUC: 0.824 (sensitivity: 81.8%, specificity: 74.2%) for the TN sub-group and 0.778 (sensitivity: 71.4%, specificity: 71.6%) for the HER2 sub-group. CONCLUSION: ML classifiers demonstrate high diagnostic accuracy in classifying TN versus NTN and HER2+ versus HER2− breast cancers using US images. Identification of more aggressive breast cancer subtypes early in the diagnostic process could help achieve better prognoses by prioritizing clinical referral and prompting adequate early treatment.

Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND: Multiple lines of evidence suggest that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding components of the microRNA processing machinery may underlie susceptibility to various human diseases, including cancer. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to investigate whether rs6877842, rs642321 and rs10719 SNPs of DROSHA, a key component of the miRNA biogenesis pathway, are associated with increased risk of breast cancer. METHODS: A total of 100 patients diagnosed with breast cancer and 100 healthy women were included. Following extraction of DNA, genotyping was performed by tetra primer- amplification refractory mutation system-PCR (T-ARMS-PCR) technique. Under the co-dominant, dominant and recessive inheritance models, the association between DROSHA SNPs and breast cancer risk was determined by logistic regression analysis. The association of DROSHA SNPs with patients’ clinicopathological parameters was assessed. Also, haplotype analysis was performed to evaluate the combined effect of DROSHA SNPs on breast cancer risk. RESULTS: We observed a statistically significant association between DROSHA rs642321 polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility (P < 0.05). Under the dominant inheritance model, DROSHA rs642321 polymorphism was significantly associated with increased risk of breast cancer (OR: 6.091; 95% CI: 3.291–11.26; P = 0.0001). Our findings demonstrated that DROSHA rs642321 T allele can contribute to the development of breast cancer (OR: 3.125; 95% CI: 1.984–4.923; P = 0.0001). We also found that GTC and GTT haplotypes conferred significant risk for breast cancer (OR: 2.367; 95% CI: 1.453–3.856; P = 0.0001 and OR: 7.944; 95% CI: 2.073–30.43; P = 0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: These results provide the first evidence that DROSHA rs642321 polymorphism is associated with increased risk of breast cancer. However, further studies are needed to firmly validate these findings.
Prediction of high-performance concrete compressive strength through novel structured neural network
Authors: Li Huan
Published: March 2023

The difficulties in determining the compressive strength of concrete are inherited due to the various nonlinearities rooted in the mix designs. These difficulties raise dramatically considering the modern mix designs of high-performance concrete. Presents study tries to define a simple approach to link the input ingredients of concrete with the resulted compressive with a high accuracy rate and overcome the existing nonlinearity. For this purpose, the radial base function is defined to carry out the modeling process. The optimal results were obtained by determining the optimal structure of radial base function neural networks. This task was handled well with two precise optimization algorithms, namely Henry’s gas solubility algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm. The results defined both models’ best performance earned in the training section. Considering the root mean square error values, the best value stood at 2.5629 for the radial base neural network optimized by Henry’s gas solubility algorithm, whereas the same value for the the radial base neural network optimized by particle swarm optimization was 2.6583 although both hybrid models provided acceptable output results, the radial base neural network optimized by Henry’s gas solubility algorithm showed higher accuracy in predicting high performance concrete compressive strength.
Measurement of process capability indices for lower and upper tolerance with fuzzy parameters
Authors: Khan Muhammad Zahir , Aslam Muhammad , Albassam Mohammed
Published: March 2023

When the target value (T) is located in the midpoint of the specification interval (m). Traditional process capability indices (PCIs) are often employed for a process with a symmetric tolerance (T = m). In case a process with asymmetric tolerance (T≠m) traditional PCIs can be misleading. Process capability indices (PCIs) with asymmetric tolerance have been designed and successfully used in a crisp form in process capability analysis (PCA). These PCIs with asymmetric tolerance can benefit from the use of fuzzy set theory to deal with ambiguity and to add greater flexibility and sensitivity to mean variance, and target value (T), and specification limits (SLs). In order to produce fuzzy SLs of PCIs with asymmetric tolerance fuzzy mean, fuzzy variance and the fuzzy target value have been used. Furthermore, these PCIs are graphically represented. It is concluded that the intermediate values of fuzzy SLs can be explored, which is not achievable with crisp SLs. Furthermore, it is recommended to utilize fuzzy SLs of PCIs with asymmetric tolerance to monitor goods that fall outside specification limits due to their flexibility and sensitivity in a fuzzy environment. The proposed FPCIs were illustrated with a real-life example using piston diameters that were produced in a factory.
Bi-LSTM fault diagnosis method for rolling bearings based on segmented interception AR spectrum analysis and information fusion
Authors: Zhong Cheng , Wang Jie-Sheng , Liu Yu
Published: March 2023

The rolling bearing fault diagnosis is affected by industrial environmental noise and other factors, leading to the existence of some redundant components after signal decomposition. At the same time, the existence of the modal aliasing phenomenon in empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the relevant improved algorithms also leads to the existence of many invalid features in the components. These phenomena have great influence on the bearing fault diagnosis. So a rolling bearing bidirectional-long short term memory (Bi-LSTM) fault diagnosis method was proposed based on segmented interception auto regressive (SIAR) spectrum analysis and information fusion. The ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), the complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and the robust EMD (REMD) algorithms decompose the rolling bearing fault signals, and AR spectrum analysis is performed on the obtained components respectively. By comparing the AR spectra of the components corresponding to different fault locations, the effective AR spectral values are intercepted as the eigenvalues of the data, and finally all the eigenvalues are fused to achieve the purpose of screening effective features more efficiently so as to reduce the impact of feature redundancy caused by mode aliasing on neural network training. Then the Bi-LSTM neural network was used as a rolling bearing fault diagnosis classifier, and the simulation experiments were conducted based on the rolling bearing fault signal data from Case Western Reserve University to verify the effectiveness of the proposed feature extraction and fault diagnosis method.

Published: March 2023

Topological indices and coindices are numerical invariants that relate to quantitative structure property/activity connections. The purpose of topological indices and coindices were introduced to draw the data related to chemical graphs with respect to adjacent & non adjacent pairs of vertex degrees respectively. These indices equip the researchers with a lot of information related to the properties and structure of the chemical compound. In this article, CoM-polynomials for molecular graph of linear and multiple Anthracene are computed from which eleven degree based topological coindices are derived.

Published: March 2023

Deep brain stimulation (DBS), a treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD), has been associated with suicidality. We conducted a case-control study comparing suicide in four pairs of cohorts: PD patients with DBS or not, epilepsy patients with resection surgery or not, subjects with BMI≥30 with bariatric surgery or not, and patients with chronic kidney disease with transplantation or not. PD patients with DBS demonstrated a lower risk of suicide relative to PD patients without DBS. Findings from other elective surgeries indicate that patients receiving operative treatments do not possess predictable differences in suicide rates relative to their medically managed counterparts.

Published: March 2023

The pacing strategy adopted by athletes is a major determinants of success during timed competition. Various pacing profiles are reported in the literature and its importance depends on the mode of sport. However, in 2000 metre rowing, the definition of these pacing profiles has been limited by the minimal availability of data. Purpose: Our aim is to objectively identify pacing profiles used in World Championship 2000 metre rowing races using reproducible methods. Methods: We use the average speed for each 50 metre split for each available boat in every race of the Rowing World Championships from 2010-2017. This data was scraped from www.worldrowing.com. This data set is publicly available (https://github.com/danichusfu/rowing_pacing_profiles) to help the field of rowing research. Pacing profiles are determined by using k-shape clustering, a time series clustering method. A multinomial logistic regression is then fit to test whether variables such as boat size, gender, round, or rank are associated with pacing profiles. Results: Four pacing strategies (Even, Positive, Reverse J-Shaped, and U-Shaped) are identified from the clustering process. Boat size, round (Heat vs Finals), rank, gender, and weight class are all found to affect pacing profiles. Conclusion: We use an objective methodology with more granular data to identify four pacing strategies. We identify important associations between these pacing profiles and race factors. Finally, we make the full data set public to further rowing research and to replicate our results.
Integration of remote sensing data into national statistical office sampling designs for agriculture
Authors: Ambrosio Luis , Iglesias Luis , Marín Carmen , Deffense Nicolas
Published: March 2023

The integration of remote sensing data in agricultural statistics is a research topic with a long history. The research focus is on using statistical models to link ground and remote sensing data such that the resulting estimators are design-consistent. A design-consistent estimator assisted by linear models is well established in the literature. However, it requires enough geographic information about the boundaries of agricultural parcels to develop a simple sample of areas. Many countries use complex samples based on non-georeferenced list frames of households or farms and reduce to point data the georeferenced information required for linking ground and remote sensing data. Data on crop acreage observed at a point are necessarily categorical because a point is dimensionless. Little work has been done on the integration of categorical ground data within complex list samples using remote sensing data. Our focus was on using multinomial logit models for this integration. Special attention was paid to evaluate the cost efficiency of remote sensing data.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which sensory integration strategies via head sway, derived from a Head-Mounted Display (HMD), change in people with vestibular disorders following vestibular rehabilitation. Design: Randomized Controlled Trial Setting: Vestibular Rehabilitation Clinic Participants: Thirty participants with vestibular dysfunction and 21 age-matched controls. Main Outcome Measures: Participants experienced two levels of visual surround (static or moving ‘stars’, front to back at 0.2 Hz, 32 mm) and white noise (none or rhythmic) while their head sway was recorded via the HTC Vive. We quantified head sway via Directional Path (DP) and Root Mean Square Velocity (RMSV) in 5 directions: anterior-posterior, medio-lateral, pitch, yaw, and roll and Power Spectral Density in low (PSD 1), medium (PSD 2) and high (PSD 3) frequencies in the anterior-posterior direction. Interventions: Participants performed the assessment prior to being randomized into 8-weeks of contextual sensory integration training in virtual reality or traditional vestibular rehabilitation and once again following completion of the intervention. Controls performed the assessment once. Twelve participants dropped out, half due to covid lock-down. We applied an intention to treat analysis. Results: We observed significant increases in AP DP, RMSV and all PSDs with change in visual level. Both intervention groups significantly decreased medio-lateral, pitch and roll DP and RMSV and anterior-posterior PSD 2 with no group differences. Vestibular participants were significantly higher than controls on all outcomes pre rehabilitation. Post rehabilitation they were only significantly higher on PSD 2. Sound was not a significant predictor of head sway in this protocol. Conclusions: Head sway decreased following vestibular rehabilitation regardless of visual load or type of intervention applied. This change was measured via head kinematics derived from a portable HMD which can serve as a sensitive in-clinic assessment for tracking improvement over time
