В данной статье отмечается, что основной причиной исследования стало увеличение потребления электроэнергии сельхозпроизводителями в связи с введением новых комплексов по переработке сельхозпродукции, что оборудование данной подстанции морально и физически устарело и нуждается в замене, так как не выполняет введенные в настоящее время требования по электробезопасности и надежности. При этом мы рассматриваем наиболее эффективные варианты морально устаревших подстанций с учетом финансового аспекта. То есть продолжить поиски с целью экономии электроэнергии, замены устаревших, непригодных к использованию частей подстанции современными эффективными частями. В настоящее время многие подстанции в стране нуждаются в обновлении. Понятно, что коренная и массовая модернизация устаревших подстанций в нашей стране может привести к экономическим потерям, и невозможно представить, что многие отрасли и предприятия будут работать без электричества. Вот почему в настоящее время проводятся большие исследования по устройствам распределения и передачи электроэнергии и экономии.

Также решение о модернизации подстанции было принято из-за сложности строительства новой подстанции, так как она предусматривает место строительства подстанции, поиск линий питания и выхода, необходимость согласования со всеми коммуникациями районного центра, что приводит к неоправданным потерям.
Om å bevitne systematisk vold og straffrihet – Martha Soto Gallos arkiv for sin forsvunne bror og Sara Uribes Antígona González

Published: September 2023

The article discusses the possibilities for finding words for and conveying trauma within a social and political context where the history of what happened is also at risk of disappearing. By comparing two different accounts of enforced disappearance – the Colombian Martha Soto Gallo’s archive for her missing brother and the Mexican literary text Antígona González (Uribe, 2012/2021) – we explore how the texts describe and move beyond the mechanisms of the modern lie and the tendency of trauma towards silencing. The study’s theoretical base is psychoanalytic trauma theory and testimony theory. We also engage in dialogue with Hanna Arendt’s thinking. The archive shows a repetitive pattern; the tireless search for an answer and the answers that never materialise or that pretend to be answers. We discuss how the figurative language of literature can shed light on the silences in the archive. The article reflects on the relationship between the disappeared and the trauma survivor. In dialogue with Carruth’s (2016) concept of traumatic awakenings, we suggest that the ethical imperative – as a result of witnessing severe traumatic experience – can be an engine for political activism, as it appears here in the survivors’ documentation practices.

In our extensive study of literature, we delved into the multifarious manifestations of discrete operator transformations. These transformations are pivotal in mathematical analysis, especially concerning Lebesgue integral equations. Our investigation led us to corroborate the findings of Acu, Heilmann and Lorentz particularly in the context of functions normed under the L1-norm. Generalization was a key facet of our research, wherein we probed deeper into these operators' behaviors. This endeavor yielded a profound result: the derivation of a global asymptotic formula, providing invaluable insight into the long-term trends exhibited by these operators. Such formulae are instrumental in predicting the operators' behaviors over an extended span. Furthermore, our exploration unveiled a plethora of findings related to these generalized operators. We meticulously computed various moments, shedding light on the statistical characteristics of these transformations. This included an investigation into convergence properties, essential for understanding the stability and reliability of the operators in question. One of the most noteworthy contributions of our study is the elucidation of pointwise approximation and direct results. These findings offer practical applications, allowing for precise and efficient approximations in practical scenarios. This is particularly significant in fields where these operators are routinely employed, such as signal processing, numerical analysis, and scientific computing. In essence, our research has not only confirmed the foundational work of Acu, Heilmann and Lorentz but has also expanded the horizons of knowledge surrounding discrete operator transformations, offering a wealth of insights and practical implications for a wide range of mathematical and computational applications.
Effective medical leaf identification using hybridization of GMM-CNN
Authors: Rao Marada Srinivasa , Kumar Sekharamantry Praveen , Rao Konda Srinivasa
Published: September 2023

Medical plants play a vital role in curing many diseases. These plants, along with their leaves, have medicinal values. If these leaves are identified appropriately, they can be chosen directly to have more significant relief from the disease. Therefore, the identification of these medical species is a challenging task. The ecologically motivated Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have substantially contributed to computer visual research. This article introduces a unique approach to medical leaf identification based on the hybridization of the Gaussian mixture model and a Convolutional Neural Network (GMM-CNN). The experimentation is performed on the Flavia dataset and is carried out using benchmark evaluation metrics. The parameters like index volume, probability of random index, and global consistency error are evaluated. The Python simulation model is utilized for the evaluation of the proposed methodology. The hybrid technique combining GMM and CNN has considerable potential in medical leaf identification. The experimental findings indicate that the hybrid strategy exhibits superior performances. The methodology suggested in this study demonstrates exceptional levels of accuracy, precision, and recall when applied to a wide range of medical leaf categories. Moreover, integrating Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) addresses concerns associated with a scarcity of training data by offering a more resilient structure for extracting features and performing classification. By combining the advantages of statistical modelling with deep learning, we develop a resilient and precise system that has the potential to enhance botanical research, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring applications.

Published: September 2023

Cotton sector workers are more likely to be exposed to the dust of cotton, leading to acute and chronic respiratory diseases, including chest tightness, bronchoconstriction, and occupational pulmonary disease. Physical exercise includes strengthening inspiratory muscles and training a larger muscle group, crucial to increase pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and cardiorespiratory endurance. To assess whether inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with aerobic exercise provides additional benefits in cotton workers to increase lung function and quality of life. A single-blinded interventional study performed at Angle Fibres Pvt. Ltd. cotton industry. One hundred (100) male workers based on enclosure criteria were randomly included and equally alienated into group A: Experimental (IMT + Aerobic Exercise) and group B: Control (Aerobic Exercise). Both groups received the supervised treatment four times each week for four weeks. Pulmonary function and excellence of life were measured at baseline, 4 weeks and 1 year follow-up. An Independent t-test was used for baseline comparisons. Repeated measures Multivariate ANOVA was applied for statistical analysis within and between group comparisons. No significant difference existed at the baseline. All the outcomes in each group demonstrated statistically significant differences. Among both groups, there was a statistically significance difference (p<0.05) in experimental group outcome measures FVC (p=0.03), FEV1 (p=0.02), FEV1/FVC (p=0.04) PEFR (p=0.01) and SGRQ score (p=0.03). In addition to aerobic exercise, respiratory muscle training is essential to pulmonary rehabilitation for improving lung function and quality of life for those employed in this cotton industry.

Authors: ÇAKIR Ayşen , KAHVECİ Nevzat
Published: September 2023

Giriş ve Amaç: Günümüzde hızla artan obezite sorunu nedeniyle gıda alımının kontrolünü sağlayan molekül ve yolaklar ile ilgili araştırmaların önemi giderek artmaktadır. İnsan dolaşımındaki temel pirimidin nükleozidi olan üridinin açlık ve gıda alımının dinamik olarak düzenlenen bir aracısı olduğu gösterilmiştir (1). Gıda alımını baskılayan Nesftatin-1 (2) ve arttıran Oreksin-A (3) beslenmenin düzenlenmesinde önemli iki peptittir. Leptin ise beyaz adipoz dokudan dolaşıma salgılanıp beyne taşınmakta ve iştah ve vücut ağırlığında azalmaya sebep olmaktadır (4).

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda 14 adet 8-12 haftalık Sprague-Dawley cinsi erkek sıçan kullanılmıştır. Randomize olarak 2 gruba ayrılan sıçanlara 4 gün boyunca serum fizyolojik (Kontrol grubu, n=7) veya üridin (Üridin grubu, 500 mg/kg, n=7) intraperitoneal olarak uygulanmıştır. Hayvanlar her gün tartılmıştır ve vücut ağırlıkları not edilmiştir. Deney ardından retro-orbital olarak alınan kan örneklerinden elde edilen serumlardan Nesfatin-1, Oreksin-A ve Leptin seviyeleri ELISA yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir.

Bulgular ve Sonuç: Sonuçlara bakıldığında Kontrol grubuna göre Üridin grubundaki hayvanların vücut ağırlığı değişim yüzdesinin daha fazla olduğu gözlenmiştir. Kontrol grubuna göre Üridin grubunda serum Nesfatin-1 seviyeleri anlamlı olarak azalırken Oreksin-A seviyeleri anlamlı olarak artmış ancak Leptin seviyelerinde anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır. Bu çalışma ile üridinin gıda alımı ve vücut ağırlığını düzenlemede önemli bir aracı olduğu, bu etkileri de leptin dışı yolaktan Nesfatin-1 seviyesini azaltarak ve Oreksin-A seviyesini arttırak yaptığı gösterilmiştir.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of breast milk/formula milk at different temperatures prepared and given to preterm infants in accordance with a standard on the vital signs of the infant.

Methods: This pretest-posttest controlled experimental study was conducted with 150 preterm infants in the NICU of a training and research hospital. Infants in experimental group 1 received breast milk/formula at 24 °C and those in experimental group 2 received breast milk/formula at 37 °C. Infants in the control group received breast milk/formula at the temperature prepared by the nurses as per routine practice with no specific instruction or intervention. The infants’ vital signs (body temperature, heart rate, and oxygen saturation) were measured and recorded immediately before feeding and at 5 minutes and 30 minutes after the start of feeding.

Results: The study sample comprised 44% female and 56% male infants with a mean gestational age of 31.3±3.0 weeks. The groups were similar in terms of descriptive characteristics (p>0.05). The vital signs of infants in experimental group 2 measured at 5 and 30 minutes after the start of feeding tended to be better and more stable than those of the infants in experimental group 1 and the control group.

Conclusion: Breast milk/formula given at 37 °C improved preterm infants’ vital signs. Based on these results, it can be recommended to administer breast milk/formula at 37 °C to preterm infants fed enterally.

Retransmission of Culture through Literary Translation: Turkish–Ukrainian Interliterary Contact
Authors: Prushkovska Iryna
Published: September 2023

This article is devoted to the dialogue of Ukrainian and Turkish literatures, which has more than a century of history. The article explores the history of the origin and development of literary contact between Ukraine and Turkey and the current state and prospects of development of Ukrainian–Turkish relations are considered in detail. Particular attention is paid to the influence of translations on the formation of images of each other in the minds of Turks and Ukrainians; the transformation of images in the minds of both peoples through the presentation of different genres of literature, from the twentieth century to the present day, is emphasized. The article also emphasizes the inequality of the functioning of Turkish and Ukrainian translations (translations of Turkish literature in Ukrainian predominate). The reasons for this inequality are the pressure on Ukrainian culture from the Russian, the unfamiliarity of the Ukrainian language and culture among Turkish scholars, and the problem of identifying Ukraine as an independent state in Turkey in the twentieth century.
TCMQMS System: A digital twin and blockchain-based platform for tracing the whole process of Chinese medicine quality information
Authors: Han Peiheng , DUN Linan , Tian Ye , Li Zhichun , LI Wenxu , YANG Hetong , WANG Bohan
Published: September 2023

Traditional Chinese medicine is an important medicine and health food in China. In the process of making Chinese medicines, the main active ingredients of the medicines are highly dependent on the production environment due to the special physical characteristics of the medicines themselves. Any slight change in the environment can lead to changes in the active ingredients as well as the final efficacy, even affecting the patient treatment cycle, and this characteristic is not conducive to quality control by national drug quality regulators. In order to enhance the quality management of TCM, a blockchain and digital twin based whole process monitoring system for TCM quality is proposed: Traditional Chinese Medicine Quality Monitoring System (TCMQMS), in order to achieve a whole process, full scope and highly transparent TCM quality monitoring model for TCM production from the source of cultivation to the final patient. And. A blockchain platform based on Fabric blockchain data development platform as well as Sia distributed data storage was designed.
With the help of Sia distributed storage technology, the amount of data storage is significantly compressed, which achieves the purpose of unifying the huge information data flow into the TCMQMS system and quickly building the system platform using the Fabric platform. In addition, in order to ensure that data is read and written in real time during the manufacturing and transportation of Chinese medicine, environmental sensors, such as temperature and humidity sensors, are placed in the Chinese medicine processing plant and in the transport sector. The environmental sensors, such as temperature and humidity sensors, are placed inside the Chinese medicine processing plants and transport vehicles. The environmental data is combined with the production data recorded by the TCMQMS system and sent to the digital twin TCM manufacturing simulation environment in real time, and through the simulation of the TCM manufacturing environment, the TCM quality environment parameters are continuously iteratively updated to be more suitable for production. This is coupled with real-time linkage with environmental sensors to achieve real-time adjustment of environmental parameters. In addition, the TCMQMS system records the entire process data, giving each data block a unique and tamper-proof hash value and CA certificate, so that when there is a possible quality problem, the hash value and CA certificate will be used to quickly trace the person responsible and the details of the environment in which the TCM was produced in real time. Finally, we present a real-life example of the use of the TCMQMS system to validate our proposed approach.
Régi történelem új tankönyvekben
Authors: Szabados György
Published: September 2023

Ismeretes, hogy 2020 őszén átdolgozott történelemtankönyvek álltak a magyar közoktatás szolgálatába. Kétszer két tankönyvről van szó, hiszen az 5. és a 9. osztályos diákok számára egyaránt megújult a korábbi „NTK-s” és az újgenerációs „OFI-s” tankönyv. Az átdolgozás csapatmunkában készült, több tudásfajta (pedagógusi és kutatói) találkozott. A négy tankönyv az alábbi hármas szempontrendszer halmazmetszetében helyezhető el: tudományos hitelesség, módszertani hatékonyság és a Nemzeti alaptanterv (NAT) és Kerettanterv (KET) által szabott keretek. A nemzeti önazonosságtudatot megalapozó korai magyar múlt: az őstörténet, a honfoglalás és az Árpád-kori Magyar Királyság sok tekintetben újszerű bemutatást kapott. Az átdolgozás kutató történészi felelőse én vagyok, így én a tudományos hitelességért felelek. A tudományos hitelesség tekintetében a legnagyobb ellenérzést kiváltó álláspontom az volt, hogy konszenzus helyett reális alapon nyugvó történelmi rekonstrukcióra törekedtem. Tettem ezt főleg azért, mert ma már régiek mellett új tudományok hallatják hangjukat: gyors mozgásban van a múlt megismerése, és ez a természettudományok által felpörgetett dinamizmus sem a konszenzus nyugalmi állapotához vezet. Egyvalamiben látok konszenzus-lehetőséget, de az nem a „mit?”, hanem a „hogyan?” kérdését érinti. Jelen tanulmány keretei között az identitásalapozó korszak kérdéseiből három témakört választottam ki, amelyeken keresztül betekintést kívántam adni a tankönyvekben érvényesített megállapításaim tudományos hátterébe: először korai történetünk forrásadottságairól, aztán mítosz és történelem kapcsolatáról, végül a hadviselő steppeállam kérdéséről szóltam.
A magyarságtudat erősítésének lehetősége a zenei nevelésben
Authors: Lakner Tamás
Published: September 2023

Zenei neveltetésünk, zenei anyanyelvünk meghatározza az általános műveltségünket. Nagy szerepe van tehát az ének-zenei nevelésnek az iskolában. A tanuló identitástudatának kialakítása és személyiségfejlődése szempontjából fontos a tananyag gondos kiválasztása és értő átadása. Ez lehet a felnövő nemzedék általános műveltsége megalapozásának és nemzeti azonosságtudatának záloga. A világnézet, a nemzethez, hazához való ragaszkodás, az érzelmi kiegyensúlyozottság mind ennek hatására formálódnak. A zenei nevelésnek jóval nagyobb teret kell(ene) kapnia iskolarendszerünkben, ha a NAT céljainak megfelelő oktatási modellt szeretnénk átültetni a gyakorlatba. Alábbi rövid írásomban néhány példával azt kívánom bemutatni, hogyan szolgálja az ének-zene új kerettanterve és az ennek alapján elkészült új tananyagok e célok megvalósíthatóságát. Az elemzéshez a tanórán használt új tankönyvek nyújtják az alapot.
A megújított és helyreállított irodalmi kánon
Authors: Takaró Mihály
Published: September 2023

Ebben az írásban a szerző elsősorban az irodalom, azon belül is a magyar irodalom oktatásáról veti papírra gondolatait, mert meggyőződése szerint az identitásképző tárgyak sorában is kiemelt szerepe van a magyar nyelvnek és irodalomnak. Mindemellett foglalkozik a történelem, az ének-zene és a művészettörténet oktatásának kérdéseivel is. Szól az identitásképző tárgyakról a XXI. század iskolájában, valamint az új Nemzeti Alaptantervben a (NAT) rendszerelemeiről és céljairól, érintve a Kerettanterv (KET) vonatkozó pontjait és fejezeteit. Az értékőrzésről és értékteremtésről gondolkodva arra keresi a választ, hogy napjainkban miben is rejlik a pedagógus értéke, és mit tekinthetünk pedagógiai örökségnek. Különös hangsúlyt kap a Kárpát-medencei magyar kulturális kontinuitás ténye, ennek oktathatósága és a nemzeti identitásképzésben betöltött szerepe. Végül pedig arra kérdésre, hogy mit kell tennünk ahhoz, hogy tanárként helyt tudjunk állni, valamint elvégezni vállalt feladatainkat, az alábbi válaszokat kínálja: ragaszkodni az iskola értékközvetítő funkciójához, ragaszkodni ahhoz, hogy teljes személyiséget akarunk nevelni. A teljes személyiség azt jelenti, hogy a személyiségnevelés minden szegmensét figyelembe véve, nem egyet kiemelve a többi rovására, próbálunk egészséges szellemiségű, művelt, a nemzetének irodalmát, tudományát, művészetét, kultúráját ismerő generációkat nevelni. A szerző meggyőződése szerint ez az új magyar iskola sikerének legfontosabb záloga.

IMPACT OF PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: PERCEPTIONS OF THE STUDENTS OF KHULNA UNIVERSITY
Authors: Sarder Deepty , Haider Mohammed Ziaul
Published: September 2023

This paper investigated whether the teaching practices employed in the learning process had an impact on the academic performance of Khulna university students. A total of 180 samples were drawn from students of Khulna University, following the stratified random sampling method. Student assessment on the teaching activities of course instructors was conducted which offers a demonstrable and measurable means of determining the degree of pedagogical practices in the system of higher education. Using statistical techniques such as multiple regression methods, the study found a significant relationship between pedagogical practices and the course-level performance of university students. We constructed three indexes, namely the communication skill index, subject knowledge index, and teaching strategy index covering 12 teaching practices of teachers. The analysis showed that an increase of one decimal point in the value of each of these indexes led to an average increase in the course grade by 0.53, 0.58, and 0.62 units, respectively. The study also found that personal attributes of students, such as their interest in the course and total study hours, were significant determinants of academic performance. Therefore, the study suggested that enhancing teaching practices, including providing feedback, fostering in-class and out-of-class interaction, and bolstering teachers' subject knowledge, can serve as effective tools for improving the academic performance of Khulna University students.

This study suggests that majority (90%) of the coastal community proximity to the Sundarbans is experienced to adaption with changing environmental vulnerabilities but the major challenge they face is limitation of financial support. At the same time, most of the community (79%) has no knowledge about climate change but the rest have medium or little knowledge (21%). Results revealed that financial and insufficient livelihood support (76%), overlooking the needs of local communities are the key problem of climate change adaptation and perception. At the same time, most of the respondents are middle aged, less literate, and fishing is the primary occupation, while wood is the main source of their energy.  Besides, geographical location, natural and anthropogenic challenges, lack of in-depth knowledge towards climate change adaptation and its vulnerabilities, and inadequate integration of policies and programs are hindering sustainable adaptation. The study suggests that information and knowledge must be improved within the community to find out and practice local scale adaptation options like livelihood diversification, diversify use of resource, community based co-management and financial support. Similarly, relevant training and awareness program could be effective to reduce the vulnerability of most innocent victims of the coastal area

Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries due to its unfavorable geographic location, flat and low-lying terrain, dense population, and high levels of poverty. This research aims to evaluate the effects of climate change on the availability of water, housing, financial support, sanitation, and health status in Bangladesh's southwest coastal area and to investigate adaptation options. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a disaster-prone village Pratapnagar of Assasuni Upazila in Satkhira, Bangladesh from September to  October 2021. A questionnaire survey was conducted to 100 male respondents 30-70 years of age who were suffering because of a breach of the embankment and could not recover from the loss due to supercyclone Amphan (category 5) from May 16 to May 21, 2020. The mean age of the respondents was 42 years (SD  =  9.14). Fishing is the main source of income for 46% of the respondents. The study also revealed that 40% of the respondents had lost their dwellings and are still submerged in water, and 32% of the respondents have lost their agricultural land. 55% of respondents have lost their livestock and 35% of the respondents use riverside open toilets; while 55% do use toilets but water submerges the toilets during high tide.  During the last 2 months of the study period, 82% of respondents had recurrent diarrhea,  42% had respiratory diseases and 32% have been infected with skin diseases. Assasuni was the victim Upazila, where cyclone Amphan hit, and most of the drinking water sources were devastated. This socio-economic impact falls not only on the people in the coastal belt but also on the people of the whole country.

The purpose of the current experimental research was to optimize the quantities of macromolecules such as Eudragit L/100-55 and HPMC-K-100M for the development of extended release tablets of divalproex sodium, an anti-convulsant or epileptic agent used in the effective management of bipolar disorders, mania, seizures, convulsions, tremors/epilepsy. Divalproex sodium ER tablets were formulated with the help of Eudragit L/100-55 and HPMC-K-100M in variable compositions and variable amounts as per 32 factorial design technique. Tablets were prepared by direct compression technique. Quantities of polymers required for exhibiting extended release of active agent from the tablet were chosen as independent variables, in similar manner time required for drug release was chosen as dependent variable (t10%, t50%, t75%, t90%). Nine formulations were created in accordance with the plan, formulated, and tested for quality control criteria. It is obvious from the data that all formulations exceed the compendial restrictions. Kinetic parameters were established, and the data from the dissolution investigation suited kinetic models very well. For the responses, polynomial equations were created and validated. The optimum formulation of SOD5, which contains 31.25 mg of Eudragit L/100-55 & 31.25 mg of HPMCK-100M, exhibits resemblance to the commercial product of f2=85.91 and f1=2.25 (DIVALEX). SOD5 is made in a zero-order fashion, and the mechanism of drug release was found to be non - Fickian in nature (n = 0.645)

This study investigates the anticancer activity of a combination microemulsion of vitamin D3 and tamoxifen (TMX-VD3 ME) for a synergistic effect on the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. The combination microemulsion was prepared by dissolving the drugs in oil, mixing the oil with a surfactant, cosurfactant, and water. ME (VD3 1.5 mg mL-1, TMX 10 mg mL-1) was optimized for stability, globule size, and PDI. MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the microemulsion. The results demonstrated a concentration-dependent increase in cell uptake with a decrease in cell viability. Flow cytometry revealed enhanced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and 3.45-fold enhanced efficacy in the migration assay. Additionally, the combination TMX-VD3 ME microemulsion exhibited enhanced anticancer efficacy compared to individual treatments of vitamin D3 ME or tamoxifen ME alone, indicating a synergistic effect. The zebrafish model revealed synergistic antiangiogenic activity of the vitamin D3 ME formulations.

Objective: To assess the prevalence of fecal incontinence and its association with clinical, functional, and cognitive-behavioral variables, medication use, frailty, falls, and quality of life in community-dwelling older adults (aged 65 years or older). Methods: Cross-sectional, multicenter study carried out across 16 Brazilian cities. The question “In the last 12 months, did you experience fecal incontinence or involuntary passage of stool?” was defined as the indicator variable for fecal incontinence. Bivariate analyses were carried out to assess the prevalence of fecal incontinence and sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, cognition, functional capacity, depression, frailty, quality of life, and falls. Logistic regression analysis was also performed, with fecal incontinence as the dependent variable. Results: Overall, 6855 subjects were evaluated; 66.56% were female, 52.93% white, and the mean age was 73.51 years. The prevalence of fecal incontinence was 5.93%. It was associated with worse self-care (OR 1.78 [1.08–2.96]), dependence for basic activities of daily living (OR 1.29 [1.01–1.95]), and urinary incontinence (OR 4.22 [3.28–5.41]). Furthermore, the absence of polypharmacy was identified as a protective factor (OR 0.61 [0.44–0.85]). Conclusion: The overall prevalence of fecal incontinence was 5.93%. On logistic regression, one quality of life variable, dependence for basic activities of daily living, and polypharmacy were significantly associated with fecal incontinence.

Authors: Uttangi Dr J.C.
Published: September 2023

The article discusses the migration and behaviour of the Bar headed Goose, Anser indicus, a winter visitor to the Indian sub-continent. It arrives from its breeding grounds in Central Asia to the Irrigation Tanks of Dharwad District in Southern India. The goose's population peaks in January, and it leaves its feeding grounds in March or April. A ring recovery study revealed the goose's homing ability and site loyalty to specific Irrigation Tanks.

The author surveyed 54 Irrigation Tanks in Dharwad District as stopover sites for migratory waterfowl, with results from this survey and Asian mid-winter counts from 1987-1996 examined. The study observed the distribution, abundance, site loyalty, disturbances, and threats to habitats of the Bar headed Goose. The bird's adaptation to feeding situations, feeding ecology, social behaviour, and more detailed aspects require further study.

The District of Dharwad, with its unique geography, serves as a crucial wintering habitat for the goose due to the availability of suitable water bodies for roosting and agricultural fields for feeding. The article highlights the importance of these man-made Irrigation Tanks as natural wetlands decline. The Bar headed Goose relies on roosting sites to conduct flights for foraging, making water bodies crucial for its feeding and breeding success.

The study identified disturbances and threats to the Bar headed Goose, including human activities, fisheries, encroachment, and habitat degradation. The conservation measures proposed include separating washing and bathing areas for villagers and cattle, allocating protected feeding areas, stopping fisheries activities at roosting sites, implementing wildlife protection measures, preventing encroachment, using colour banding for identification, and ensuring collaborative conservation efforts.

In summary, the article provides insights into the migration, behaviour, and conservation needs of the Bar headed Goose in Dharwad District. It emphasizes the importance of Irrigation Tanks as vital habitats for this species and proposes various measures to ensure its conservation.
The Barheaded Goose in Tamilnadu
Authors: Santharam V.
Published: September 2023

This article investigates the presence of Bar-headed geese in Tamil Nadu during the winter season, despite the species not being part of its traditional winter range. The study synthesizes historical records, recent observations, and collections from natural history museums to establish the validity of this phenomenon. Notable records include early observations by naturalists, such as Jerdon, describing sightings of these geese in the southern parts of India. Reports from various locations, including coastal areas, wetlands, and urban environments, substantiate their winter visits. The Asian Waterfowl Census data reflects fluctuating Bar-headed goose populations in Tamil Nadu over different years. The article concludes that while not common, Bar-headed geese do exhibit a regular winter presence in Tamil Nadu, prompting the need for further research to comprehend the underlying reasons, potential shifts in migration patterns, and their ecological implications. The unexpected winter visitation of Bar-headed geese to Tamil Nadu underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring efforts and collaborative research to decipher the nuances of this phenomenon.
Channel Morphology, Plant Association Groups & Habitat Diversity of River Kanand ( Maharashtra)

Vegetation is an important factor of a drainage basin, especially the river channel. Since 1967, although considerable interest has been created in fluvial geomorphological aspects of drainage basins, the significance of vegetation has not been considered in an integrated way. It appears from the recently published accounts of channel forms and processes that there is now a general agreement over the significance of vegetation in the management of a river channel. The precise way in which this factor affects the river behaviour is however, still not very clear.

The study focuses on the influence of a variety of channel variables on the bed vegetation in down- stream direction and across the channel. The associations and correlations between these factors and the bed vegetation do reveal the complexity of environ- mental interactions.

The methodology adopted was based on specific lithological, hydrological and vegetational aspects of the river channel. The primary focus of this work is to ascertain the linkages between geomorphological, hydrological and ecological processes and the bed vegetation which are a part of Phyto geomorphology and ecology of the river basin.
