This research provides empirical evidence for the benefit of social media in the online farmer community. It uses the case study analysis in exploring the ICT usage in Empowerment of Laying Hens Farmer in East and Central Java implementing the multi-feed and additive supplement. The research develops The Technology-to- Performance Chain (TPC) approach and farmer empowerment model. This research use farmer empowerment as the performance impact of the online community. Meanwhile, it also predicts some factors that affect the performance impact. Those are farmer characteristics, task-technology fit, and facilitating conditions. The empowerment impacts are influenced significantly by task-technology fit with a path coefficient of 0,704. It means that utilization of social media as the online media of community will encourage empowerment if the information and knowledge sharing activities inside are related to the task or farmer's livelihood. The farmer's characteristics and the facilitating condition affect the performance insignificantly. However, the facilitating condition determines the task- technology fit with the path value 0,868. It means to endorse the ICT becoming fit with the task/livelihood of the farmer need the facilitating condition as the underlying factors. These factors are the internet accessibility of farmers, the innovation of the multi-nutrient and additive supplement product from socio-entrepreneurs, and the assistance/consultancy from the extension agent.

Introduction High priority districts (the bottom 25% of the districts) were identied based on composite
health index to bring about sharper improvements in health outcomes Ferrous ascorbate
supplementation is being carried out in Raisen district, a HPD, when compared to the nearby district Bhopal where Ferrous
sulphate is still the preferred modality for prophylaxis and management of anaemia in pregnancy. Studies showing the
efcacy of Ferrous ascorbate over ferrous sulphate in pharmacological settings are available in plenty, but the data regarding
real time effectiveness is not sufciently available in this part of the country. Objectives To study the sociodemographic factors
associated with anaemia in pregnant women. To study the effectiveness of Ferrous sulphate vs Ferrous ascorbate in the
management of anaemia in pregnancy. Methods It was a prospective observational study, including 50 pregnant females in
each treatment group with gestational week of 12-14 getting themselves registered at the anganwadis (Selected by random
selection without replacement method) of urban and rural eld practice area of GMC Bhopal. They were followed up after 1 and
3 months of the initial visit to evaluate their compliance and changes in haemoglobin level. Results The mean change in
haemoglobin level among FS group after three visits was found to be 0.30±0.23 gm/dl, while it was 0.54±0.32 gm/dl among FA
group. The mean change in haemoglobin level was more in compliant when compared to non-compliant. And the mean
change in haemoglobin level in compliant females of FA treatment group was 0.52±0.30 gm/dl, and was higher than that of FS
group, i.e. 0.37±0.22 gm/dl. The difference observed was statistically signicant. Conclusion Ferrous ascorbate was found

Authors: Siddarth  , Kumar Tripathi Praveen , Lata Rai Preeti
Published: February 2023

Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is the infection of the pulmonary parenchyma with onset after
48–72 hours of endotracheal intubation. VAP increases hospital stay and extra cost of the patient. It also
increases mortality In Paediatrics and neonatology, the frequency of VAP is 3–19%, with a mortality rate ranging from 10 to 20%
of patients. The aim of this study is to determine the commonest bacterial species in children who are mechanically ventilated
for indication of head trauma in tertiary care teaching hospital having facility of NICU and PICU. The study was conducted in a
tertiary care hospital. It was an observational study of 3 months. the patients, who had a new pulmonary inltration, satised 2
or more conditions among the cases of body temperature 38.3oC or higher, purulent bronchial secretions, and a leukopenia or
leukocytosis (＜5,000 or ＞10,000 mm3), they were diagnosed with pneumonia. Specimens were collected from all patients with
ET tip culture. Once the specimens were obtained, the sample was sent for gram stain, culture and sensitivity. Total of 50
patients were included in the study. 20 patients were below age of one year, 16 patients were in the age group of 1-10 years while
14 were above 10 years of age. Acinetobacter baumannii, klebsiella pneumoniae and candida species were found in patients.
Mixed infection was also seen in 1/4th of the patients enrolled. Knowledge of risk factors for VAP may be useful in implementing
simple and effective preventive measures. As mixed infection is on the rise, routine hygiene of respiratory tract and
endotracheal tube with complete asepsis is required to reduce the VAP

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PRIMARY REPAIR WITH OPEN MESHPLASTY V/S ABDOMINOPLASTY IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN ASSESSING THE OUTCOME OF INCISIONAL HERNIA
Authors: G Naik Narendra , R Mehta Ashika , V Adhikari Sukhdev , Tungekar Alauddin
Published: February 2023

Incisional hernias are hernias which occur as a result of excessive tension and inadequate healing of a
previous incision1. Incidence of these hernias is 9.9% worldwide. These hernias arise through a defect in
the musculo-fascial layers of the abdominal wall in the region of a postoperative scar. They can enlarge over time, leading to
pain, obstruction, incarceration and strangulation. With loss of domain, the natural rigidity of the abdominal wall becomes
compromised and the abdominal musculature is often retracted. Treatment includes Meshplasty or Abdominoplasty. In
meshplasty surgery, the abdominal contents are reduced and the defect is closed. Following this, an onlay or inlay mesh is
placed which secures the primary repair as well as allows brosis of the anterior abdominal wall by capillary and broblasts
neovascularization in the spaces between the mesh. The advantage of using a mesh is for closing large defects or for defects in
which abdomen cannot be closed by primary intention. Infection of the mesh, seroma, abscess formation, recurrence, surgical
site infection, changes or loss in the abdominal domain are a few complications associated with this surgery. Another method of
repair of these incisional hernias in our study is by abdominoplasty. In Abdominoplasty, we will plicate the linea alba from
xiphisternum to pubic symphysis after closure of defect. The biggest drawback of meshplasty which is infection, is prevented in
abdominoplasty. Additionally, abdominoplasty can provide an added advantage of it being cost effective. Here in this study,
we will to compare and evaluate Primary Repair with Open Meshplasty v/s Abdominoplasty in cases of incisional hernias, on
the their surgical outcome on the basis of rate of infection, ap necrosis, rate of recurrence and post-operative cosmesis.

Authors: Tahir Tahreem
Published: February 2023

 Many people have lost their lives in weapon incidents every year. According to CDC report 124 people died every day in 2020 due to gun violence. Research has been carried out in this field in recent years for object detection using machine learning methodologies. In the following research methodology, we have carried out research on deep learning based automated weapon detection system which allows system to detect weapons such as Knife, Handgun, and rifle automatically. We have implemented object detection model You Only Look Once YOLO V4 and trained it on our datasets. Training showed that You Only Look Once YOLO V4 outperformed convolutional neural network CNN. By using this model for closed circuit televisions CCTV, we can help people in saving their lives and reduce human mass slaughter. Moreover, we proposed a method to improve accuracy of Convolutional Neural Network CNN by adding N times N number of layers. It will reduce the complexity of the model and improve accuracy. 
A Boolean Algebra Based Rule Extraction Algorithm That Extracts If-then Classification Rules from Three-layer Neural Networks with General Inputs
Authors: Hwang Chun-Kai , Yang Cheng-Feng
Published: February 2023

 We present a Boolean algebra based algorithm to extract if-then classification rules from supervised learning feedforward neural networks to solve the black-box problem of the decision process of the neural networks. This algorithm is called the BAB-G rule extraction algorithm, which stands for Boolean Algebra Based for General inputs. According to the concept of discretizing continuous hidden neuron activation values, we present the BAB-G rule extraction algorithm, which can be applied to three-layer feedforward neural networks with discrete, continuous, or mixed inputs. The antecedent parts of the if-then rules obtained from this algorithm are slanting hyperplanes. During the rule extraction procedure, redundant hidden neurons can be removed without affecting the functionality of the neural networks. Some empirical results on the data sets from the UCI repository of machine learning database are given for comparing our rule extraction algorithm and C5.0 decision tree algorithm. For these datasets, statistical hypothesis tests show that the rules obtained from our algorithm achieve the same classification accuracy as the neural networks. Moreover, our rules are better than the C5.0 decision tree both on comprehensibility and on accuracy for these datasets.

Authors: Grandi Sgambato Bruno , Hasbani Milia , Barsakcioglu Deren Y , Ibáñez Jaime , Jakob Anette , Fournelle Marc , Tang Meng-Xing , Farina Dario
Published: February 2023

Objective: Non-invasive human machine interfaces (HMIs) have high potential in medical, entertainment, and industrial applications. Traditionally, surface electromyography (sEMG) has been used to track muscular activity and infer motor intention. Ultrasound (US) has received increasing attention as an alternative to sEMG-based HMIs. Here, we developed a portable US armband system with 24 channels and a multiple receiver approach, and compared it with existing sEMG- and US-based HMIs on movement intention decoding. 

Methods: US and motion capture data was recorded while participants performed wrist and hand movements of four degrees of freedom (DoFs) and their combinations. A linear regression model was used to offline predict hand kinematics from the US (or sEMG, for comparison) features. The method was further validated in real-time for a 3-DoF target reaching task. 

Results: In the offline analysis, the wearable US system achieved an average  R2of 0.94 in the prediction of four DoFs of the wrist and hand while sEMG reached a performance of R2  = 0.60. In online control, the participants achieved an average 93% completion rate of the targets. 

Conclusion: When tailored for HMIs, the proposed US A-mode system and processing pipeline can successfully regress hand kinematics both in offline and online settings with performances comparable or superior to previously published interfaces. 

Significance: Wearable US technology may provide a new generation of HMIs that use muscular deformation to estimate limb movements. The wearable US system  allowed for robust proportional and simultaneous control over multiple DoFs in both offline and online settings.

Sulfide Removal by Catalitic Oxidation From Rayon Waste
Authors: Wulansari Isma
Published: February 2023

Catalytic oxidation of spent sulfidic caustic consist of SH- ion or NaHS compound by H 2 O2 in neutral or acidic solution to elemental sulphur may provide a convenient and economical method for the control of sulphide wastes and their associated odors at pulp, paper and textile industry.  Oxidation of sulfide in rayon waste by hydrogen peroxide was investigated in the presence of ferric sulfate catalyst.  Kinetic equations and activation energies of H 2 O2 and SH- ion to total sulphur and sulphate in rayon waste for catalytic oxidation reaction were calculated based on the experimental results. For the removal of sulfide from sulfide solution the most common process involves its catalytic oxidation to a more benign form sulfate.  The rate of sulfidic  catalytic oxidation was found higher at lower initial sulphide concentration and the rate of sulphide catalytic oxidation was found directly proportional to loading and hydrogen peroxide addition. Optimum total sulphide concentration was achieved when sulphide solutions in the presence of H 2 O 2 in the ratios SH-/H 2 O 2 1:4.2. The potential user of H 2 O 2 determine the optimal conditions for control of odor, corrosion and waste treatment cost due  to sulfide consisting of sulphur ion, sulphate ion, etc. The catalytic oxidation of sulphides into sulphates by H 2 O 2 may be applied directly to aqueous wastes containing these odorants

Coalition building and municipal governance in South Africa: Implications for municipal leadership and service delivery
Authors: Reddy Purshottama , Wissink Henry , Kariuki Paul
Published: February 2023

South Africa became a democratic state on 27 April 1994. Since then, local government has been through critical political and socio-economic restructuring and transformation, which has changed the public governance landscape at all levels. Despite ushering in world-class legislation at the local sphere of government in South Africa – very futuristic by continental and international standards – there have been major challenges in local governance, the most notable being the lack of effectual and responsive basic service-delivery. The government, for its part, has introduced several intervention strategies over the years to ensure that the local sphere of government in South Africa is on an upward developmental trajectory. The government is also of the view that the goals of a democratic society and a growing and developing economy can only be achieved through a responsive, accountable, effective and efficient local government system, which implies that if the local government fails, South Africa as a nation will fail.

Following the Global Rejection: The Motives of Majelis Ulama Indonesia's Fatwas on Ahmadiyah
Authors: Alnizar Fariz , Manshur Fadlil Munawwar , Ma'ruf Amir
Published: February 2023

This article examines the motives behind the decisions of the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI), in 1980 and 2005, to issue fatwas condemning the Ahmadiyah. Using critical discourse analysis, this study reveals MUI’s motives behind its fatwas on the Ahmadiyah by drawing on the text and the context of the issuance of the fatwas. Underpinning MUI’s issuance of its fatwa on the Ahmadiyah Qadiyan in 1980 was the global rejection of the Ahmadiyah, particularly in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, MUI’s fatwa on the Ahmadiyah in 2005 was informed by an increased rejection of the Ahmadiyah in Indonesia, which was based on the Jalsa Salana Ahmadiyah meeting in 2005, in Parung, Bogor. In the fatwa’s dictum, MUI positions itself as the guardian of the Islamic creed. MUI’s choice of wording and language style in its fatwas demonstrates its desire to display its authority as a quasi-non-governmental organization.

This annual tradition known as Lebaran Kranggan features olot (traditional elders) as the central character in ceremonies at the olot traditional house and pilgrimages to the Buhun community's ancestral graves. Buhun's traditional beliefs include animism with Islam. Together with social and political developments, the Buhun community's traditions and identity are under threat of extinction. Thus yet, no extensive local history research on Lebaran Kranggan has been conducted. In order to preserve the Buhun community's identity, Lebaran Kranggan's role as a vehicle must be clarified. By primarily utilizing oral historical materials and oral traditions, this study integrates a historical viewpoint and local history approaches to provide a fresh perspective on Indonesia's traditional beliefs.

Doing Fieldwork while Parenting

Published: February 2023

Conducting fieldwork as a White woman researcher from the Global North on women’s practices of religious knowing in Benin, my work is based on multiple entwined positionalities that require critical reflection. The political categories of race, gender, age, religion, and family status at times linked, at times distanced me from my interlocutors in Benin as well as my colleagues at University of Bayreuth. This article explores the multiple ways parenting has informed my work in Benin and its institutional integration in a German Anthropology department. Using difference as a lens, I enquire how parenting, intersecting with gender, sexuality, and family normativity, has been used to undo difference during fieldwork, while exacerbating structural inequalities with reference to academic funding structures and research organization.
Perception of Refugees in Lithuania

This article offers a partial answer to the question, “why are the vast majority of Lithuanians opposed to refugees immigrating to Lithuania?” I use cultural model theory (CMT) to find the salient characteristics Lithuanians attribute to refugees. Using methods associated with CMT, I shed light on some of the underlying conditions from which a negative perception of refugees emerges. Surprisingly, the negative image of refugees is not just reproduced from social media and news platforms that overwhelmingly depict refugees negatively but stems from Lithuanians’ precarious feelings about their own lives. I thus propose that Lithuanians cultural models of refugees do not simply mirror political or social media portrayals of them as folk devils, but that Lithuanians construct their own cultural models from their life experiences and use these to substantiate their cultural model of refugees.
