Organic carbon contributes to increasing soil productivity. In determining the soil fertility indicators, soil organic carbon mapping is required to provide information and demonstrate the distribution of organic carbon. In this study, remote sensing method testing was carried out by comparing data between observations in the field with rice productivity estimation data using Landsat 8 imagery. The observation was conducted on paddy fields with an area of about 4,800.86 ha in the volcanic region of Mount Talang. This research used a survey method with a grid system of 1,000 x 1,000 m intervals with a soil depth of 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm. The parameters of the soil observations carried out were bulk density, pH, and organic carbon. The results showed that Mount Talang volcanic rice fields had an estimated soil organic carbon stock of ±6,426.118 tons. A weak correlation was obtained between organic carbon and the estimated value of paddy rice productivity (r =0.024). Hence organic carbon in the study area could not be estimated with the value of lowland rice productivity.

Human activities and global warming cause forest fires that impact increasing carbon emissions, destroy forest biodiversity and destroy soil properties. This research is needed to examine carbon storage and soil physical properties on various types of land cover in the Cempaka Forest area, which will later be used as a basis for carrying out restoration and conservation actions. This study used four observation points: Timber Forest Products, Non-Timber Forest Products, Pine, and Shrubs land cover. Carbon storage was measured in the Cempaka forest using the standard RaCSA procedure. The results showed that land cover differences significantly affect the value of carbon storage, with the highest value for storing carbon being the land cover of HHK. However, the difference in land cover did not cause different results on the physical properties of the soil. Correlation and simple regression between the value of carbon storage and other parameters show that carbon storage is strongly influenced by tree biomass and litter, with respective values of 94% and 21%.

Introduction: Although trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is diagnosed clinically and most cases can be easily identified, misdiagnoses are frequent and lead to delayed treatment. Therefore, we evaluated the painDETECT questionnaire, an established tool for detecting neuropathic pain components, as a screening tool in TN. Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of all patients who had presented to our neuro-surgical outpatient department complaining of craniofacial pain between January 2019 and August 2021. The patients were categorized as likely having TN (TN group) or likely having pain of a different etiology (non-TN). Patients with other neuropathic facial pain syndromes or those in whom TN could not be diagnosed nor ruled out with sufficient confidence were excluded. The painDETECT scores were compared, along with other outcome parameters. Results: We identified 52 patients with craniofacial pain. After exclusion of 14 patients, 25 patients were included in the TN group and 13 in the non-TN group. The mean painDETECT score was 17.0±4.7 and 12.7±6.1, respectively (p=0.02). The positive predictive value for TN at a cutoff value of 19 points was 80%, the negative predictive value was 39%. In patients who underwent surgery, the correlation between the postoperative painDETECT score and the postoperative numeric rating scale score was 0.73 (p=0.01). Discussion: The painDETECT questionnaire is of limited use as a screening tool for possible TN. It can be utilized to track treatment outcomes if data collection beyond daily clinical use is desired.

Introduction: Aquatic exercises may benefit children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Nevertheless, there are few studies about the efficacy and safety of those interventions for this population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of the effects of aquatic interventions in children and adolescents with CP, considering outcomes related to the body structure, function, activity, and participation; based on the World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework (ICF). Methods: We searched for experimental or quasi-experimental studies about aquatic exercises’ effects on children and adolescents with CP. We used the databases PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scielo, LILACS, SPORTDiscus, Cochrane Reviews, Trials, and PEDro, from January 1st, 2011, to December 31st, 2020. In addition, the risk of bias was assessed with the PEDro tool. Results: 10 randomized clinical trials and five quasi-experimental studies were included. The focus was on aerobic activities in children with spastic CP, mainly classified as levels I to III in the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), outcomes related to structure and function, and activity. Thirteen studies reported positive effects, but the methodological quality was low. Discussion: Aquatic exercise programs are feasible and demonstrate a positive effect on this population. There is a need for studies of better methodological quality, including children classified as GMFCS V and outcomes based on the domain of participation.

Majorana corner modes have a number of advantages over the classical Majorana states in terms of performing topologically protected quantum computations. However, the problem of the influence of Coulomb repulsion on higher-order phases, which inevitably arises when trying to implement such systems in practice, has been poorly studied. In this article, we analyze the features of a topological invariant describing the nontrivial phase with the corner modes for a two-dimensional two-orbital model of a hybrid structure in the regime of extremely strong electron correlations. For this purpose, approximate wave functions of the edge states with a linear dispersion law and the associated Dirac masses, which arise when superconducting pairing in the system is taken into account, are obtained.

We present results on experimental determination of spin-Hall angle theta_SH in the SrIrO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructure with nanometer-thick films. From longitudinal magnetoresistance value of spin-Hall angle was estimated thetaL_SH ≈ 0.04 ± 0.01, from the transverse thetaT_SH ≈0.35±0.06. Decreasing the temperature from room to T= 165 K, the transverse magnetoresistance decreased, and at temperatures T<150 K it was not detected within the measurement error. For comparison, we measured also a single SrIrO3 film which did not demonstrate magnetoresistance.

Transmission of magnetostatic surface waves (MSSW) through the microchannels formed by decoration of yttrium-iron garnet (YIG) film with non-magnetic (chromium) and ferromagnetic (permalloy) metals having thickness of 30 nm was experimentally studied. MSSW losses induced by the considered metals and MSSW dispersion curves are compared with theoretical dependencies calculated taking into account the finite conductivity and magnetization of the metal layers. Possibility to reach the “antireflective” effect in the amplitude-frequency dependencies of MSSW transmission coefficient with the help of YIG film decoration with the permalloy elements was shown.

Application of Mahalanobis Distance in Education and Educational Psychology: A Mini Review
Authors: Adhikari Anasuya
Published: July 2023

Mahalanobis distance is a metric for the distance between groups regarding specific criteria. Mahalanobis distance is a measurement between two data sets in the space delineated by specific attributes. It will accurately assess the distance by giving various essential factors to the characteristics of data points since it considers variances and correlations between characters. Mahalanobis distance has an essential use in education in terms of achievement analysis. Mahalanobis distance is a powerful tool for drawing inferences between two groups of several variables. As it is a dimensionless, single number, it is easy to understand and interpret. Since this is a powerful tool, the application of Mahalanobis distance will increase rapidly to draw the inference. The paper examines the literature on Mahalanobis distance in education and its massive potential in educational psychology since 2020.

Disability experience need not always bring up negativity. The quality of life, satisfaction, and well-being of such people can be positive, optimistic, hopeful, and marked with independence, healthy coping skills, strong resilience, and self-determination. This narrative seeks to break the perception gap between public perception and the private inner experience of affected persons by outlining a few threads of positivity within the realm of disability. Heavily tilted towards rights-based models, person-in-environment social and cultural aspects of the disability experience are taken into account, while the use of positive rather than negative emotions is explained. Finally, before inviting more empirical attention to this neglected field of study, mention is made of the sparse research related to this area.

Published: July 2023

Abstract: The detection of bird species from photos is a challenging problem due to the large number of species, subtle visual differences between them, and variations in lighting and camera angles. In recent years, deep learning techniques have shown promising results in solving this problem. In this study, we propose a method for detecting bird species from photos using the ResNet50 deep learning architecture. We’ve collected a large dataset of bird photos, including images of over 200 species from different geographic locations. We pre processed the images by resizing them and augmenting the data to increase the size of the dataset. We then fine-tuned the ResNet50 model on the dataset and achieved an accuracy of 98% on a test set of bird photos. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of deep learning techniques for bird species detection and provide potential applications in biodiversity conservation and ecological research

Authors: Bhadouria Aashi Singh
Published: July 2023

Abstract: Since no deep learning fruit grading system based on digital photos has been devised, there hasn't been much progress made in determining whether or not fruit is fresh. The goal of this study is to develop methods for decreasing wasted fruit. The agriculture industry in India is crucial to the nation's economy. High quality fruit is in high demand, making fruit grading an important aspect of the agricultural industry. However, grading fruit by hand requires a lot of time and effort and is prone to mistakes. The time you spend with automatic grading is well spent. On both domestic and foreign markets, you may find a plethora of fruit. Due to their delicate nature, fruits need extra care throughout the grading process. Automation is much sought after in agricultural research with the aim of evaluating crop quality. If a country's fruits, vegetables, and harvests are of higher quality, it may see an increase in output and GDP

El siglo XX dio paso a los postulados del marketing verde que a la fecha se han fortalecido logrando un mayor posicionamiento en una sociedad más sensible asumiendo un consumo responsable y con una actitud solidaria y de cuidado del medio ambiente. Es por esto que las empresas se ven forzadas a implementar estrategias de responsabilidad y de marketing verde para obtener el reconocimiento y el prestigio ante sus consumidores, por sus buenas prácticas, para de este modo acercarse a los compromisos ambientales y sociales. Las exigencias del mercado reclaman que la empresa y sus directivos adopten una conciencia ambiental acorde a sus actuaciones. Las nuevas generaciones, siendo sensibles a la sostenibilidad y al cuidado de los recursos naturales, exigen que productores y comercializadores ejerzan mayor transparencia en sus acciones, y que las empresas faciliten una información amplia y exhaustiva del origen de sus productos, de los procesos de transformación y de los insumos utilizados. Asimismo, el comunicar la mano de obra empleada, contar con una política de precios justos e informar del retorno esperado sobre los beneficios a los productores, a los agricultores y a todos aquellos que participan directamente en la cadena de producción, hacen parte de una gestión empresarial que actúa con responsabilidad. Este documento de tipo cualitativo, documental, reflexiona sobre los conceptos del marketing verde, su surgimiento, estrategias y la responsabilidad que adquieren las empresas con los consumidores. El marketing se ha convertido en una necesidad para que las empresas sean viables y logren objetivos y reconocimiento, pero las nuevas tendencias requieren de más responsabilidad, de un equilibrio en sus prácticas que garanticen su sostenibilidad.

La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa descriptiva y se implementaron los siguientes instrumentos de recolección de datos: la observación que se efectuó mediante videos, fotos y los documentos. Los resultados muestran que el proceso de construcción de los artefactos tecnológicos tuvo tres grandes etapas, 1. Revisión de literatura; 2. Construcción de los artefactos tecnológicos focalizados en la geometría euclidiana y la física clásica (estructura, movimientos, etc.); y 3. Integración de Programación (Arduino y/o Matlab) o circuitos a cada artefacto tecnológico. Los artefactos tecnológicos demarcan diferentes contrastes entre la física y la geometría, centrados en la relación forma-movimiento y tiempo-espacio. La geometría y la física tienen diferentes elementos en común como forma, movimiento, observación, comprobación, entre otros; los cuales están inmersos en el proceso de construcción de artefactos tecnológicos.

Çalışmasının amacını badminton sporcularının egzersiz bağımlılığı ile yaşam kalitesi düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi ve bu verilerin demografik değişkenler açısından incelenmesi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma grubunu 384 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama amacı ile “Egzersiz Bağımlılığı Ölçeği” ve “WHOQOL-BREF” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde yüzde ve frekans dağılımları, Levene Testi, Pearson Korelasyon Analizi, One-Way ANOVA ve t-Testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, cinsiyet, tercih edilen oyun türü, algılanan gelir düzeyi değişkenine ilişkin egzersiz bağımlılığı ölçeğinin alt boyutlarının tümünde anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Eğitim durumu değişkenine ilişkin egzersiz bağımlılığı ölçeğinin “Bireysel-Sosyal İhtiyaçların Ertelenmesi ve Çatışma” alt boyutunda gruplar arası istatistiki açıdan anlamlı farklılığın olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Medeni durum değişkenine bağlı egzersiz bağımlılığı ortalama puanlar incelendiğinde “Aşırı Odaklanma ve Duygu Değişimi” ve “Bireysel-Sosyal İhtiyaçların Ertelenmesi ve Çatışma” alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık olduğu bulunmuştur. Millilik durumu değişkenine bağlı egzersiz bağımlılığı ortalama puanlar incelendiğinde “Aşırı Odaklanma ve Duygu Değişimi” ve “Egzersiz Bağımlılığı Toplam” alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık olduğu bulunmuştur. Egzersiz bağımlılığı düzeylerinin ikamet edilen yer türü değişkenine ilişkin “Aşırı Odaklanma ve Duygu Değişimi”, “Bireysel-Sosyal İhtiyaçların Ertelenmesi ve Çatışma” ve “Egzersiz Bağımlılığı Toplam” alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Yaşam kalitesi düzeylerinin cinsiyet değişkenine ilişkin “Fiziksel Sağlık” ve “Sosyal İlişkiler” ve “Çevre” alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Yaşam kalitesi düzeylerinin eğitim durumu değişkenine ilişkin ölçeğin yalnızca “Sosyal İlişkiler” alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Yaşam kalitesi düzeylerinin medeni durum değişkenine ilişkin “Psikolojik Sağlık” ve “Sosyal İlişkiler” alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılığın olduğu bulunmuştur. Yaşam kalitesi düzeylerinin millilik durumu değişkenine ilişkin ölçeğin alt boyutlarından yalnızca “Sosyal İlişkiler” alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yaşam kalitesi düzeylerinin Oyun Türü değişkenine ilişkin “Psikolojik Sağlık” ve “Sosyal İlişkiler” alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılığın olduğu bulunmuştur. Yaşam kalitesi düzeylerinin gelir düzeyi algısı değişkenine ilişkin ölçeğin alt boyutlarından yalnızca “Çevre” alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılığın olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yaşam kalitesi düzeylerinin ikamet edilen yer değişkenine ilişkin “Psikolojik Sağlık”, “Sosyal İlişkiler” ve “Çevre” alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; badminton sporcularının yaşam kalitesi ölçeği ile egzersiz bağımlılığı ölçeğine verdikleri yanıtlar doğrultusunda bazı alt boyutlar arasında ilişki olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır

In this research, the perceived stigma during community-based leisure activity (CBLA) participation of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was investigated from the perspective of parents. The study group for the research comprised 10 parents of children aged 7-18 years. In the research designed with qualitative research methods, the conceptual framework comprised Goffman’s (1963) ‘stigma theory’. Data were collected with the face-to-face interview method using a semi-structured interview form. Analysis of data used the thematic analysis method. Within this scope, themes comprised an important necessity, tones of stigma, nature of being a parent, two different sides and learned loneliness. According to the research findings, parents of children with ASD appeared to attach great importance to participation in CBLA. Due to CBLA participation being an effective socialization tool for children with ASD, parents saw it as a serious necessity. During participation in CBLA, children with ASD were exposed to many types of stigma and parents generally provided strong reactions to this situation. Perceived stigma negatively affected the CBLA participation of parents and individuals with ASD. In conclusion, CBLA participation is an important need for children with ASD, and by reducing the negative attitudes and behaviors affecting participation more children will experience participation in this type of leisure activity.
FROM FRAMING TO FLAMING IN THE CROSS-THEOLOGICAL DEBATE: HOW ARE CHRISTIAN PRINCE’S COMMENTARIES REPRESENTED THE QUR’AN ON YOUTUBE?

Christian Prince’s (CP) presence on YouTube opened a new chapter in Christian opposition actors who act as cross-theological debaters between Muslims and Christians who, for the previous two decades, were only dominated by Muslims. Through the narratives on YouTube, this Christian apologist tries to convince the public that the Qur’an contains contradictory statements as the holy book for Muslims. In response to such an issue, this research aims to investigate the construction of CP’s interpretation, which highlights the authenticity of the Qur’an. Qualitative content and thematic analyses and the framing approach developed by William A. Gamson were employed. Findings suggest that the representation of CP’s understanding of the Qur’an verses uses a decontextualization approach. Also, the vast knowledge of the Arabic language and literary translations further strengthen the narratives to convince the public of the allegations. However, instead of considering the historical context in understanding the scientific meaning of the Qur’an, this Christian apologist uses literal meaning as a framing device. This phenomenon has shown that cross-theological debates only provoke persistent inter-religious hatred and resentment. Therefore, such debates are inclined to trigger the propaganda of religious extremists.

The question of what constitutes true happiness has been a core philosophical issue that has warranted multiple attempts in the attempt to provide a final answer, either from a purely religious or philosophical perspective. The issue of happiness is closely connected to the meaning of life and its ultimate outcome and purpose. The modern Muslim philosopher Muhammad Hossein Tabatabai discussed the nature of happiness at length. In his view, human beings instinctively strive to attain happiness or the ultimate good which can only be achieved through nearness to God. Therefore, true happiness requires the believer to commit righteous deeds and avoid sinful acts. This study follows a philosophical-Sufi approach and uses a descriptive-analytical method to examine the nature of happiness, the relationship between happiness, goodness and pleasure according to Tabatabai. In line with Islamic thought, true and lasting happiness can only be attained in the Hereafter, and happiness in this life, no matter how acutely and deeply felt, is merely a shadow of the true happiness of the believers who have attained God’s permission to enter Paradise.
