Ensemble Kalman Inversion for nonlinear problems: Weights, consistency, and variance bounds
Authors: Ding Zhiyan , Li Qin , Lu Jianfeng
Published: November 2020

Ensemble Kalman Inversion (EnKI) [23] and Ensemble Square Root Filter (EnSRF) [36] are popular sampling methods for obtaining a target posterior distribution. They can be seem as one step (the analysis step) in the data assimilation method Ensemble Kalman Filter [17,3]. Despite their popularity, they are, however, not unbiased when the forward map is nonlinear [12,16,25]. Important Sampling (IS), on the other hand, obtains the unbiased sampling at the expense of large variance of weights, leading to slow convergence of high moments.

We propose WEnKI and WEnSRF, the weighted versions of EnKI and EnSRF in this paper. It follows the same gradient flow as that of EnKI/EnSRF with weight corrections. Compared to the classical methods, the new methods are unbiased, and compared with IS, the method has bounded weight variance. Both properties will be proved rigorously in this paper. We further discuss the stability of the underlying Fokker-Planck equation. This partially explains why EnKI, despite being inconsistent, performs well occasionally in nonlinear settings. Numerical evidence will be demonstrated at the end.
Approximate controllability of a Sobolev type impulsive functional evolution system in Banach spaces
Authors: Arora Sumit , Mohan Manil T. , Dabas Jaydev
Published: November 2020

In this paper, we investigate the approximate controllability problems of certain Sobolev type differential equations. Here, we obtain sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of a semilinear Sobolev type evolution system in Banach spaces. In order to establish the approximate controllability results of such a system, we have employed the resolvent operator condition and Schauder's fixed point theorem. Finally, we discuss a concrete example to illustrate the efficiency of the results obtained.
A prática de reescrita textual: uma atividade colaborativa de escrita no 3º ano do ensino fundamental
Authors: Dos Santos Cícero Gabriel , Faria Evangelina Maria Brito de
Published: November 2020

No decurso da elaboração de um texto, as crianças devem ser levadas a compreender para quem estão escrevendo, os motivos que as levaram a escrever e a forma discursiva adequada à situação comunicativa. Deve-se, ainda, favorecer a compreensão de que o processo de escrita reúne as etapas de planejamento, escrita, revisão e reescrita. Este artigo, recorte de uma pesquisa de doutorado, que teve como objetivo compreender a concepção do processo de reescrita do aluno a partir das práticas de sala de aula em uma turma do 3º ano do Ciclo de Alfabetização, procura dar relevo aos ecos da Formação Continuada de uma docente participante do PNAIC. Para tanto, discutimos as perspectivas de tratamento da produção textual, a partir dos estudos de Bentes (2012), Jesus (2011), Koch (2016), Reinaldo (2003) e os processos de revisão e reescrita textual, com base nos estudos de Brandão (2007), Fiad (1997), Mayrink-Sabinson (1997), Menegassi (2013) e Rocha (2008), entre outros. Metodologicamente, situamo-nos no modelo qualitativo de pesquisa, entendido como a reunião de práticas interpretativas, adotamos a observação participante, a filmagem e a transcrição como instrumentos de análise. Para essa amostragem, selecionamos e analisamos trechos de intervenções orais realizadas pela docente para o desenvolvimento de uma atividade de reescrita colaborativa. Com base nos dados, reconhecemos ecos da formação continuada recebida, principalmente na função de "escriba" para incentivar as crianças à prática de revisão e reescrita. Sabemos que o processo da reescrita é algo relativamente novo na prática da alfabetização e, como mediadora desse processo, a docente também experimenta esse novo desafio, mobilizando saberes para adequar sua prática às teorias que a sustentam.Palavras-chave: prática de escrita; revisão e reescrita textual; formação Continuada.
Da internacionalização à regionalização da educação: ressignificando a prática de mobilidade estudantil a partir de uma ação político-linguística educativa
Authors: Cáceres Glenda Heller
Published: November 2020

O trabalho que aqui apresentamos vai à contracorrente da configuração de um cenário global, no qual a prática da internacionalização no Ensino Superior vem crescendo exponencialmente, especialmente no que se refere a relações educacionais mercadológicas do tipo sul-norte. A política-linguística educativa proposta, que envolveu uma experiência de imersão na Argentina, proporcionada a alunos de Ensino Médio brasileiros, e da qual se originam os dados analisados, permitiu o questionamento sobre as representações dos participantes acerca das línguas envolvidas em práticas de mobilidade estudantil. Com esse objetivo em vista, e apoiando-nos nas estratégias metodológicas da Teoria Fundamentada, mostramos como ações encabeçadas por educadores podem levar à percepção crítica da realidade sociolinguística regional por parte dos estudantes e, ainda, à criação de um caminho que conduza ao estabelecimento de uma cidadania sul-americana.Palavras-chave: representações; mobilidade estudantil; regionalização.
NEUTROSOPHIC TEXTURE-REGION DIFFERENCE-BASED FUZZY c-MEANS CLUSTERING OF ULTRASOUND TUMOR IMAGES
Authors: Sivanandan Revathy , Jayakumari J.
Published: November 2020

Owing to its cost effective and non-ionizing procedure, ultrasound imaging has become a primary tool for detection and diagnosis of breast tumors compared to mammography or biopsy. But the precise interpretation of the images obtained is limited due to the intensity inhomogeneties, speckle noise, low contrast, etc. present in the observed images. Also, tumors can appear in different echogenic patterns including visually challenging to detect isoechoic and slightly hypoechoic tumors, and distinguishing the tumor by means of intensity variations only will not suffice. Therefore it is important to preprocess the image to remove unwanted noise and variations, and thereby provide adequate enhancement to highlight the region of interest. In this paper, a segmentation method is proposed where the query images are clustered using fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) after neutrosophic filtering and enhancement followed by extraction of textural and edge features through the use of Gabor and compass filters. In this work, Prewitt compass filters were implemented to capture the maximum region difference between the tumor and background. By using filters of different orientations, sufficient texture and edge information were able to be captured by using the combination of Gabor and compass filters, which can then aid in the accurate detection of isoechoic and hypoechoic tumors. The neutrosophic preprocessing implemented in this work models the ultrasound noise as combination of Gaussian and Rayleigh distributions, and shows better signal-to-noise ratio than traditionally modeling speckle as Gaussian alone. The proposed method gave an increase of 42.25%, 40.15%, 81.32% and 50.15% and a decrease of 95.83% compared to standard Otsu thresholding, an increase of 23.34%, 19.57%, 24.53% and 24.71% and a decrease of 91.81% compared to simple FCM and an increase of 37.89%, 44.64%, 35.86% and 48.11% and a decrease of 93.68% compared to active contour segmentation in structural similarity index, Jaccard index, Dice coefficient and accuracy and mean square error, respectively. On contrasting with recent learning-based methodologies for tumor segmentation, the proposed method gave comparable accuracy without the need for large training database and expensive graphical processing unit (GPU) computing capabilities.
Spatial association between the incidence rate of COVID-19 and poverty in the São Paulo municipality, Brazil
Authors: Ferreira Marcos César
Published: November 2020

In this article, we investigated the spatial dependence of the incidence rate by COVID-19 in the São Paulo municipality, Brazil, including the association between the spatially smoothed incidence rate (INC_EBS) and the social determinants of poverty, the average Salary (SAL), the percentage of households located in slums (SLUMS) and the percentage of the population above 60 years of age (POP>60Y). We used data on the number notified cases accumulated per district by May 18, 2020. The spatial dependence of the spatially smoothed incidence rate was investigated through the analysis of univariate local spatial autocorrelation using Moran’s I. To evaluate the spatial association between the INC_EBS and the determinants SAL, POP>60Y and SLUMS, we used the local bivariate Moran’s I. The results showed that the spatially smoothed incidence rate for COVID-19 presented significant spatial autocorrelation (I = 0.333; P<0.05), indicating that the cases were concentrated in clusters of neighbouring districts. The INC_EBS showed a negative spatial association with SAL (I = -0.253, P<0.05) and POP>60Y (I = -0.398, P<0.05). We also found that the INC_EBS showed a positive spatial association with households located in the slums (I = 0.237, P<0.05). Our study concluded that the households where the population most vulnerable to COVID-19 resides were spatially distributed in the districts with lower salaries, higher percentages of slums and lower percentages of the population above 60 years of age.
Investigating spatiotemporal patterns of the COVID-19 in São Paulo State, Brazil

Published: November 2020

As of 16 May 2020, the number of confirmed cases and deaths in Brazil due to COVID-19 hit 233,142 and 15,633, respectively, making the country one of the most affected by the pandemic. The State of São Paulo (SSP) hosts the largest number of confirmed cases in Brazil, with over 60,000 cases to date. Here we investigate the spatial distribution and spreading patterns of COVID-19 in the SSP by mapping the spatial autocorrelation and the clustering patterns of the virus in relation to the population density and the number of hospital beds. Clustering analysis indicated that São Paulo City is a significant hotspot for both the confirmed cases and deaths, whereas other cities across the state were less affected. Bivariate Moran’s I showed a low relationship between the number of deaths and population density, whereas the number of hospital beds was less related, implying that the fatality depends substantially on the actual patients’ conditions. Multivariate Local Geary showed a positive relationship between the number of deaths and population density, with two cities near São Paulo City being negatively related; the relationship between the number of deaths and hospital beds availability in the São Paulo Metropolitan Area was basically positive. Social isolation measures throughout the State of São Paulo have been gradually increasing since early March, an action that helped to slow down the emergence of the new confirmed cases, highlighting the importance of the safe-distancing measures in mitigating the local transmission within and between cities in the state.
Les marqueurs d'identité masculine et féminine dans les fabliaux
Authors: Ferlež Urh , Pintarič Miha
Published: November 2020

L‘article traite les marqueurs d‘identité dans les fabliaux, vérifiant l’hypothèse selon laquelle les hommes dans les fabliaux sont identifiés par ce qu‘ils font, par le métier qu‘ils exercent plutôt que par leurs caractéristiques physiques, et que les femmes sont soit identifiées par leur mari soit par leurs caractéristiques à elles. L’analyse qualitative et, ensuite, quantitative des fabliaux montre que la quantité d’informations que le lecteur reçoit sur l‘identité d‘un personnage varie d’un fabliau à l’autre, que les auteurs ne différencient les genres selon la quantité des marqueurs d‘identité, selon leurs caractéristiques physiques, que les personnages masculins principaux sont effectivement souvent caractérisés par leur métier, alors que les personnages féminins, dans la grande majorité des cas, ne portent pas le marqueur du métier, à l‘exception des personnages secondaires ou ceux qui ont le même métier.
Submerged Layers of Slovenian Identity in Krissy Kneen’s Writing
Authors: Maver Igor
Published: November 2020

The article for the first time ever explores the recent non-fiction and poetry by the contemporary Australian writer Krissy Kneen, who has Slovenian roots through her maternal grandmother. Kneen’s writing, a literary tribute to her late grandmother Dragitca (Dragica Marušič), shows a desire to come to terms with her partly ‘Slovenian’ gut microbiome and DNA, as she herself claims. They, in her view, along with the other elements in the process of identity formation, interestingly importantly help to constitute an ethnic identity and, for that matter, any personal identity. This makes her writing very original within the extant diasporic literary production.
Margaret Atwood, World-Famous but Yet to Be Discovered by Many Slovene Readers
Authors: Onič Tomaž , Gadpaille Michelle , Blake Jason , Mohar Tjaša
Published: November 2020

Margaret Atwood is the only Canadian author whose 80th birthday in 2019 was celebrated by the global academic community. This is not surprising, as she is the most famous Canadian writer, popular also outside literary circles. On this occasion, Slovene Canadianists organized a literary event at the Maribor University Library, which presented an outline of Atwood’s oeuvre and a selection of translated poems and excerpts of prose texts; some of these were translated especially for the event. Of Atwood’s rich and varied oeuvre, only eight novels, a few short fiction pieces and some thirty poems have been translated into Slovene. This article thus aims at presenting those aspects of Atwood’s work which are less know to Slovene readers. It is no secret that Atwood is often labelled a feminist writer, mostly on account of The Handmaid’s Tale and the TV series based on the novel. However, many Slovene readers may not know that she also writes poetry, short fiction, non-fiction and children’s literature, that she is a committed environmentalist, and that she discussed the problem of “Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth” in a prestigious lecture series. There are not many authors who master as many genres as Atwood and who are so well-received by readers and critics alike. The latter is true of Atwood also in Slovenia, and we can only hope that Slovene publishers will make more of Atwood’s work available to Slovene readers. All the more so since Atwood has no plans to end her career: just before her 80th birthday she was on a tour in Europe promoting her latest novel, The Testaments, and she would have continued touring in 2020 were it not for the COVID pandemic.
Pursuing the Zionist Dream on the Palestinian Frontier
Authors: Gohar Saddik Mohamed
Published: November 2020

This paper critically examines Theodore Herzl’s canonical Zionist novel, Altneuland /Old New Land as a frontier narrative which depicts the process of Jewish immigration to Palestine as an inevitable historical process aiming to rescue European Jews from persecution and establish a multi-national Utopia on the land of Palestine. Unlike radical Zionist narratives which underlie the necessity of founding a purely Jewish state in the holy land, Altneuland depicts an egalitarian and cosmopolitan community shared by Jews, Arabs and other races. The paper emphasizes that Herzl’s Zionist project in Altneuland is not an extension of western colonialism par excellence. Herzl’s narrative is a pragmatic appropriation of frontier literature depicting Palestine as a new frontier and promoting a construct of mythology about enthusiastic individuals who thrived in the desert while serving the needs of an enterprising and progressive society. Unlike western colonial narratives which necessitate the elimination of the colonized natives, Herzl’s novel assimilates the indigenous population in the emerging frontier community.
Słowo „Murzyn” jako perlokucyjny akt mowy
Authors: Ohia-Nowak Margaret
Published: November 2020

The word “Murzyn”as a perlocutionary speech act Whilst an array of words is used by white Poles to describe and denote Black people both outside Poland and within the country itself, in recent years, a heated public debate has taken place in Poland concerning the on-going use of the term Murzyn in everyday speech acts and in public discourse. The word actively reproduces anti-black stereotypes and racist meanings, and also conceals the prejudice, not least by virtue of the fact that a number of White Polish public persons claim that Murzyn is a neutral word used inoffensively to refer to Black people. Recently, as the demonstrations after George Floyd’s death spread across Europe, the continuing use of the term has been widely protested by Poles of African descent, and a growing number of Polish linguists argue against the word’s assumed neutrality. In this article, I draw upon the internalism and externalism in communication theory as I demonstrate perlocutionary effects of the word Murzyn from semi-interviews conducted with black Poles in 2014 and 2020, and utterance of Poles of African descent from media discourse between 2011 and 2020. With regard to the histories, experiences, and perspectives of Black communities in Poland, I argue that the derogatory meaning of the word depends largely on its effects on thoughts and feelings of the recipient, namely the pragmatic perlocution and the externalist communication theory, and less on the intention of the speaker and the internalist communication theory.
Sen Narcyza. O pluralizacji stylów myślenia w „antropologii translacji”
Authors: Pisarek Adam
Published: November 2020

Narcissus’s dream. On the pluralisation of styles of thinking in the “anthropology of translation” The article concerns a never written book by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro entitled Anti-Narcissus and presents the decolonization potential of culture studies. The subject of reflection is the possibility of tearing the figure of the Native (which is currently experiencing a renaissance) out of the power of occidental discourses of knowledge. By exploring anthropological ways of opposing onto-epistemological narcissism, the author shows the difficulties faced by anthropologists who have set themselves the goal of pluralizing Western styles of thinking and acting.
Rzecz o historii naturalnej, zwierzęcych skórach i sztuce – recenzja Spekulatywnej taksydermii (Speculative Taxidermy) Giovanniego Aloiego
Authors: Witek Michał
Published: November 2020

A thing about natural history, animal skins and art –a review of Giovanni Aloi’s Speculative Taxidermy The purpose of this review is to familiarize the Polish reader with the extensive and interesting monography: Speculative Taxidermy: Natural History, Animal Surfaces, and Art in the Anthropocene, published by Columbia University Press. The Author Giovanni Aloi –art historian and museumologist, takes up the challenge of opening new fields, and asking new questions in research on taxidermy in art and science. The speculative methodological approach proposed by the author, draws on the new materialism, archology of knowledge and “speculative turn,”and enables him not only to thoroughly analyze the art involving taxidermic objects, but also to conduct erudite analyzes of discourses, practices and “nexuses”defining complex human-animal relationships. Taxidermy is a pretext to reflect on the sources of animal representation in contemporary culture and discourse of natural history, as well as to show the abovementioned relationships in the context of ecological, economic and environmental crises, and the uncertainties characterizing the “dark ecology”of the Anthropocene. This work is an extremely valuable contribution to Ecocritical studies and the still developing field of animal studies.

Current challenges and future potentials of social economy in Croatia
Authors: Babić Zdenko , Baturina Danijel
Published: November 2020

The social economy sector in Croatia has been neglected for a long time and has not been recognized as a space for sustainable jobs and the development of a more inclusive and cohesive society, as is the case in many Eastern and Central European countries. On the other hand, social entrepreneurship is a relatively new phenomenon established in this century. The aim of this paper is to assess the trends and challenges of social economy development in Croatia as the newest, last EU member state. On the basis of a secondary data analysis, the paper scrutinizes trends in social economy development. Social entrepreneurship is analysed as a part of the social economy that is strengthening, as well as the economic activity of associations that tends to turn into a social economy or a solidarity economy. The paper will also give an overview of the instances of the institutional context of the development of cooperatives and social enterprises, such as the recent legislative and policy changes, as well as the institutional framework with some insights into recommendations how to promote the development of the social economy sector in Croatia. Keywords: social economy; cooperative sector; social enterprises; Croatia.
A fragile seed of social and solidarity economy in post-disaster affected areas of Tohoku, Japan
Authors: Saito Fumihiko
Published: November 2020

The world today faces a series of crises, and many observers have started to realize that the root cause of these crises is market capitalism. In such a context, the triple disasters of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear power plant accident hit the north-eastern part of Japan on 11 March 2011. “3.11” has accelerated the long-term structural changes of rural Japan such as depopulation. Nine years since the disasters, one positive sign is the emergence of networks between producers and consumers who are now reciprocally connected. This article pays particular attention to a new monthly delivery package of magazine and food called, Tohoku Food Communication (TFC), first released in July 2013. The experiences of TFC can be interpreted as a fragile yet significant seed to promote social and solidarity economy (SSE). This paper critically examines both possibilities and limitations of SSE, which may contribute to making our society more sustainable than now. Keywords: “3.11”; natural disaster; Tohoku Food Communication (TFC); social and solidarity economy (SSE); sustainability.
Criza COVID-19: Provocări pentru piața muncii din România
Authors: Ilie Simona
Published: November 2020

The paper draws attention to the impact of the COVID-19 context on the labor market. Based on the secondary data analysis, a classification of the economic branches regarding the risk of affecting the activity is sketched. The higher risk tends to complement other employment vulnerabilities (lower wage level, higher share of selfemployment). The Romanian protective measures of employment and incomes fit the European practices of the current context. However, there is a risk of not being able to respond adequately to the increase of poverty and inequality. Keywords: labour market inequalities; social policies; COVID-19.

Published: November 2020

Oral submucous fibrosis, with mucosal sensitivity to irritants such as areca nuts and chilly items due to chronic iron deficiency, is a form of sideropenic dysphagia. Serum iron is used for nutritional evaluation as a biochemical measure and serves as a predictor for the progression of the disease as there is a correlation between the quality of serum iron and oral carcinogenesis. Early diagnosis and prognosis can also be carried out by the assessment of biochemical parameters. The purpose of the research was to test OSMF patients with serum iron and ferritin. After prior consent, 50 participants were included in the study. They've been split into two classes. The research group consisted of 25 average, healthy individuals and a further 25 OSMF patients. 5 ml of blood was collected using a centrifuge and the serum was separated. Using the ERBA CHEM 5 plus analyser, serum iron was estimated using the Ferrozine/MgCO3 method and Ferritin by the Immunoturbidimetric Latex Assay methodIt was found that serum iron and serum ferritin levels decreased significantly compared to control levels in OSMF patients. In OSMF patients, serum iron was 84.29 ±19.3524.6419.35 compared to control 121.21 ± 19.35 and serum ferritin was77.14 ± 17.26 and 134.69 ±31.3 respectively. The current study concludes that serum iron and ferritin levels in OSMF patients are decreased relative to control levels that can be used to distinguish such patients as an indicator.
Petrol Fiyatları ile Ekonomik Büyüme İlişkisi: Türkiye Örneği
Authors: KAMACI Ahmet , GÖKTAŞ Süleyman
Published: November 2020

Üretimde önemli bir üretim maliyeti olan petrol fiyatları, ekonominin tüm sektörlerini etkilemektedir. Petrol fiyatlarındaki artış, maliyet enflasyonuna yol açacak, bu da üretimin azalmasına ve ekonomik büyümenin daralmasına neden olacaktır. Petrol fiyatlarında yaşanan dalgalanmalar, ekonomi üzerinde bir belirsizlik doğurmaktadır. Bu durum ise, yatırımları azaltarak istihdamın ve milli gelirin düşmesine neden olmaktadır.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de 2003:Q1-2019:Q4 dönemlerindeki çeyreklik verilerle petrol fiyatları ile ekonomik büyüme ilişkisini incelemektir. Bu doğrultuda eşbütünleşme ve nedensellik analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre, ekonomik büyümeden petrol fiyatlarına doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik tespit edilmiştir. Aynı zamanda, petrol fiyatları ile ekonomik büyüme arasında uzun dönemli eşbütünleşik bir ilişki bulunmuştur.

Authors: JAIN YOGENDRA KUMAR , BHANDARE SANTOSH KUMAR
Published: November 2020

Data mining system contain large amount of private and sensitive data such as healthcare, financial and criminal records. These private and sensitive data can not be share to every one, so privacy protection of data is required in data mining system for avoiding privacy leakage of data. Data perturbation is one of the best methods for privacy preserving. We used data perturbation method for preserving privacy as well as accuracy. In this method individual data value are distorted before data mining application. In this paper we present min max normalization transformation based data perturbation. The privacy parameters are used for measurement of privacy protection and the utility measure shows the performance of data mining technique after data distortion. We performed experiment on real life dataset and the result show that min max normalization transformation based data perturbation method is effective to protect confidential information and also maintain the performance of data mining technique after data distortion.
Performance Analysis of ESPRIT Algorithm for Smart Antenna System
Authors: Dongarsane Chetan R. , Jadhav A.N. , Hirikude Swapnil M.
Published: November 2020

ESPRIT is a high-resolution signal parameter estimation technique based on the translational invariance structure of a sensor array. The ESPRIT algorithm is an attractive solution to many parameter estimation problems due to its low computational cost. The performance of DOA using estimation signal parameter via a rotational invariant technique is investigated in this paper. By exploiting invariance’s designed into the sensor array, parameter estimates are obtained directly, without knowledge of the array response and without computation or search of some spectral measure. The exact number of samples and elements used is the most important parameter in the algorithms in order to sustain the accuracy of the direction of arrival of the incident signals. This algorithm is more robust with respect to array imperfections than MUSIC.

The development and deployment of managerial decision support system represents an emerging trend in the business and organizational field in which the increased application of Decision Support Systems (DSS) can be compiling by Intelligent Systems (IS). Decision Support Systems (DSS) are a specific class of computerized information system that supports business and organizational decision-making activities. A properly designed DSS is an interactive software-based system intended to help decision makers compile useful information from raw data, documents, personal knowledge, and/or business models to identify and solve problems and make decisions. Competitive business pressures and a desire to leverage existing information technology investments have led many firms to explore the benefits of evolutionary system data management solutions such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). This study proposes a new model for product mix problem based on evolutionary system for optimizing constraint values as well as objective function. The formulations of the objective function for the minimization problem. This technology is designed to help businesses to finding multi objective functions.

An unmanaged supply chain is not inherently stable. The bullwhip effect occurs when the demand order variability’s in the supply chain are amplified as they moved up the supply chain. Distorted information from one end of a supply chain to the other can lead to tremendous inefficiencies. In this paper it is shown that if the members of the supply chain share information with intelligent support technology, and agree on better and better soft computing technique on future sales for the upcoming period, then the bullwhip effect can be significantly reduced. This paper emphasizes on fuzzy logic technique and discusses its effect on reducing bullwhip effect. It is shown that with the application of the fuzzy logic, the multi-objective problems converted to a single one, which can be easily solved with the proposed methodology. It is also shown that linguistic values can be determined to assess vendors’ characteristics, in order to address, in an accurate way.

Published: November 2020

Organization should provide a safe and healthy environment for its employees. Safety is concerned with the protection of the physical health of employees in the workplace. The Health and Safety Policies aims to create a healthy workplace by reducing hazards affecting the performance of employees. Hazardous working conditions will increase the health risks leading to high rate of absenteeism and attrition. Any unexpected event likely to cause any type of injury to the person or damage to the property and environment is called to be the accident. Frequent exposure of the worker to the unhealthy working conditions slowly develops accumulated effect over an extended period of time causing occupational diseases. All the accidents involving the element of fatality or injury which disables a person from working for more than 48 hours are considered to be the reportable injuries. Occupational hazards are the potential conditions both internal and external transforming into a series of events causing loss. Death, injuries and illness can arise out of safety violations or negligence. Accidents and Injuries happening in the course of employment will cause enormous financial loss to the organization. Safety is the protection against uncertain risks caused by the hazards of electricity, machinery, slip or trip, explosion causing injury, death or damage to people and property. This study aims to describe the fundamentals of industrial safety management for hazardous industries in India.

Published: November 2020

The Supreme Court is the apex institution of the adjudication system and constitutional body in Bangladesh. The Constitution mandates its functions and jurisdictions. It performs functions and duties not as a servant of the government but performs constitutional functions as a guardian to uphold the Constitutionalism, secure the Constitutional guarantee of the citizens’. It has unique and extraordinary inherent jurisdictions like writ, taking action for doing complete justice, review of its own decision, punish to contemnor, settle issues arise under the Constitutional interpretation, providing perfect direction of unambiguous law, and provide advice. This paper analyzes the momentous issue of jurisdiction and functions of the Supreme Court from the legal and economic aspects with highlighting the efficiency of the apex court. It also examines with particular consideration of contempt of court matter.

Authors: M Ganesh Madhu Priya , Agastian P
Published: November 2020

The present study aims to investigate the preliminary phytochemical screening and various separation techniques to isolate the bioactive compounds from the endophytes of Datura metel. The ethyl acetate extracts of the endophytes are used for the current study. Phytochemical screening of the extracts revealed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids and tropane alkaloids. The quantitative amounts of tropane alkaloids are significant in actinomycete (29.4%) than the endophytic fungus (23.2%). Actinomycete seems to contain higher phenolic content of 1. 271 mg/g whereas endophytic fungus accounts only 1.254 mg/g. The IR spectroscopic studies of endophytic fungus and actinomycetes showed peaks at different points and the results are noted. Hence, the isolation and production of bioactive compounds from the endophytes may facilitate the new product discovery process.

The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) is coordinated by the European Commission and “provides all actors involved in the management of natural disasters, man-made emergency situations, and humanitarian crises with timely and accurate geo-spatial information derived from satellite remote sensing and complemented by available in situ or open data sources”. It includes two components, Early Warning and Monitoring and Mapping. The latter provides on demand geo-spatial information derived from satellite imagery during all phases of the disaster management cycle. It includes 3 systems, Rapid Mapping (RM), Risk and Recovery Mapping (RRM), and a Validation Service. RM provides geospatial information immediately after a disaster to assess its impact; RRM in the prevention, preparation and reconstruction phases; and the Validation Service is in charge of validating and verifying the products generated by both, and of collecting and analyzing users’ feedback. The wide spectrum of activities framed in the Validation Service has allowed it to become a vector to improve the Mapping component through the testing of new methodologies, data input type, or approach for the creation of emergency cartography in the frame of the CEMS. The present paper introduces the main investigation lines based on Sentinel-1 and 2 for flood and fire monitoring that could be implemented in the CEMS services taking into consideration the characteristics of the Mapping component in terms of products to create and time constraints. The applicability of Sentinel-1 for flood monitoring based on the backscattering, the MultiTemporal Coherence (MTC), and dual polarization; and for burnt area delineation based on MTC was studied, while Sentinel-2 was used for burnt area delineation based on vegetation indices. Results indicate that proposed methodologies might be appropriate for the creation of crisis information products in large areas, due to the relative easy and fast implementation compared to classic photo interpretation, although further applicability analyses should be carried out.

Published: November 2020

Chemical cleaning methods are frequently used for the removal of biofilm/corrosion products from metallic materials to evaluate the type and severity of microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) damage. The study described here investigates the effect of commonly applied cleaning treatments on the dissolution of stainless steel surface inclusions and emphasizes the potential impact of such treatments on MIC diagnostics. Polished 304 grade stainless steel coupons were ultrasonicated for 1 min, 3 min, and 7 min in each of the three commonly applied agents, i.e., Clarke’s, nitric acid, and hydrofluoric acid-based solutions. Post-treatment analyses of steel surfaces revealed pitting attack. For each treatment type and duration, the morphology and quantitative measurements of pits were recorded. Shape, size, and depth of examined pits closely resembled damage that, in many laboratory-based studies, have been attributed to MIC. The investigation herein demonstrates that caution ought to be exercised when implicating MIC as the cause of stainless steel pitting damage.
