Concrete blocks are widely used as a building material due to their strength, durability, and cost. However, the production of concrete blocks also has a significant effect on the environment. It uses large amounts of cement, and the production of cement produces large amounts of greenhouse gases. One promising approach is to use alternative materials that have a lower carbon footprint as a partial replacement for cement. Rice husk ash is an agricultural waste that is produced by burning the outer shell of the paddy and comes out as a waste product from mills. It has pozzolanic properties, making it a suitable substitute for the partial replacement of cement in concrete production. Another strategy for making concrete blocks more eco-friendly is to incorporate plastic waste into the concrete mix. Plastic waste is an environmental issue, with large amounts ending up in landfills or polluting the oceans. We can use plastic waste in concrete blocks, preventing it from going to landfills. In this project, the use of RHA and plastic waste is combined to produce more sustainable concrete blocks. Cement is replaced for different percentages of RHA (5%, 10%, and 15%) and RHA Concrete blocks were cast, and the optimum strength was determined at 10% replacement. Again, along with the 10% RHA replacement, coarse aggregate is replaced by 2%, 4%, and 6% shredded plastic. The compressive strength of RHA-Plastic Concrete Block was determined, and it was found that compressive strength drastically decreases with the use of plastics. With the use of RHA, the water absorption of blocks decreases. The water absorption of RHA-Plastic blocks also decreased with the use of plastic.

A mean cordial graph has mean-cordial labels. This study examines the mean-cordial labeling pattern of bistar graphs Bn, n.
SLIP IMPACT ON FLUID FLOW AND HEAT TRANSPORT IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER OVER A FLAT PERMEABLE PLATE-A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Authors: Debnath Kamal
Published: June 2024

An investigation is undertaken to compare and examine the influence of partial slip on the flow and heat transport of Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids within the boundary layer overa flat permeable plate. Navier-Stokes equation of motion is considered for Newtonian viscous incompressible fluid while the Walters Liquid (Model B΄) is taken for viscoelastic non-Newtonian fluid. Special forms of slip factors for velocity and temperature involving local Reynolds number are considered. By employing similarity variables, the fluid flow guided equations, along with the corresponding boundary conditions, are reduced to self-similar form. Subsequently, these equations are evaluated using the 'bvp4c' solver, which is built-in within MATLAB. The results obtained from numerical computations are graphically represented for both Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids, considering different values of flow feature factors. The impact of slip and other flow dominating parameters on the flow and heat transport of both Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids are analysed from a physical perspective.

APPLICABILITY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CRIME PREVENTION BASED ON DIFFERENT CRIME CAUSATION MODELS IN CRIMINOLOGY
Authors: Thakur Dr. Shweta , Singh Dr. Vikram
Published: June 2024

Crime is inevitable in the society. There has always been a deep concern about the root causes of criminality in every society. The epicanthic question of all such research is that, “What are the different compelling reasons that a person has turned out towards criminality?”. Different research has been carried out to find out the probable reasons behind commission of any crime and different models have been formulated to find out reasons behind the patterns of criminality applicable in any society. Various theories of criminalities are given by different criminologists. And the one root reason behind these theories is Causation theory or the theory of Cause and Effect. The conception of the cause is visualized as the reason for all human deeds. Different theories are given such as Biological theories, Physiological theories, Economic theories and Sociological theories. These theories have suggested different stimuli with which criminality can be identified in any Human being. Artificial learning is the process which enables the machines to stimulate human intelligence.. Artificial Intelligence can be used by computer based programming of different robotic machines to identify the different stimuli in the day to day life activities of a human and even help in prevention of actual crime causation, by giving information to different stakeholders of the society which can help that person in the eradication of that particular compelling reason /stimuli of crime causation in their life. In this paper, the researchers aim to figure out various stimuli given in different theories of crime causation and how artificial intelligence can be used for crime causation.
IMPACT OF ADVERTISEMENTS ON WOMEN’S IMAGE
Authors: Mondal Mira
Published: June 2024

A television commercial is a form of advertisement that is a nonpersonal promotion of products. The duration of a TVC usually falls between 10 seconds to 3 minutes and conveys messages in a catchy, interesting way. The main aim of a TV advertisement is to reach a niche audience. “Advertising is paid form of mass communication, the ultimate purpose of which is to impart information, develop attitudes and induce action, beneficial to the advertising in the sale of a product or service.” — R. H. Colley. To attract the customer, advertising agencies or the ad makers portray women as the main focus sometimes intentionally. It makes a so-called level of ‘beauty standard’ of perfect womanhood. On the screen, a woman is like an allrounder, a perfect wife, a caring mother, a beautiful girlfriend, maybe a boss but full of glamour, fair, tall, zero figure even more than that. But, in real life, things are not the same for everyone. Objectification theory (Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997) shows evidence of sexual objectification of women everywhere including in the media. Most of the women agreed that they suffer from self-doubt, low self-esteem, feeling isolated, obsession with fairness, and, weight loss. The purpose of the study is to describe how the advertisement agency portrays women and how the TV Advertisement affects women’s self-image.

Authors: Michael-Olomu Oyintonyo
Published: June 2024

This study examines the life satisfaction level of retired academic staff in the context of a Nigerian university, focusing on the case of the Niger Delta University, Bayelsa State. The study is motivated by the unique position of the Niger Delta University as the longest-serving higher institution in the state, providing a substantial pool of retired academic staff for investigation. A total of 24 retired academic staff members, who had been retired for at least a year, were selected as participants through a snowball sampling technique. Being a descriptive-qualitative study, associated data was collected via In-Depth Interviews (IDI), structured according to the study's objectives. Thematic content analysis, following Braun and Clarke's (2006) six-step approach, was employed to analyze the data, facilitated by the Atlas.ti software. The analysis unveiled common themes, topics, ideas, and recurring patterns within the interviews, which were then coded and grouped into sub-themes and major themes. The study findings present insights into the life satisfaction levels of retired academic staff, offering a deep understanding of their experiences in retirement, post-retirement engagements, and achievements. Hence, while there were few who showed dissastisfaction, retired academic staff in Bayelsa State generally expressed satisfaction with their service years, engaged more with non-work-related social networks post-retirement, continued various post-retirement activities, and reported social and economic achievements as their primary post-retirement successes. These findings provide a basis for recommendations aimed at enhancing the post-retirement experiences of academic staff in Nigeria's university institutions, promoting their life satisfaction, and facilitating continued contributions to society.

This qualitative phenomenological study aims to explore English language teachers’ perceptions about uses of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and its implementation challenges at higher secondary level. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews from 5 ELT teachers from Sindh, Pakistan. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. According to the findings, teachers perceived CLT as a student-centered interactive approach to develop speaking fluency and communicative competence. Teachers’ perceived CLT implementation challenges were lack of teachers’ professional training and difficulty in time management; students’ low English language proficiency and lack of motivation; exam-oriented education, over-crowded classes, inappropriate seating arrangement in classes, improper timetable, lack of materials and resources, classroom confined language practices; and lack of adequate tools to assess and evaluate students’ communicative competence. These findings can provide useful insights regarding CLT’s prospects to ELT teachers, academic administrators, and educational leaders, and also a way forward to effective CLT implementation at higher secondary level.
Impact of Women’s Land Ownership Patterns on Intimate Partner Violence in Tanzania
Authors: Joseph Laurent
Published: June 2024

Strengthening women's ownership of and control over land is a significant development goal. "The study aimed at analysing the lonely, joint, and title deed land ownership by women on intimate partner violence (IPV) they experience in region population variability in the Tanzanian context. This quantitative explanatory study used ANOVA and multi-linear regression to analyse secondary data from 2015-16 and 2022 TDHS-MIS reports and population and women who own land alone, each having a census in 2022 and its estimation in 2015 based on the 2012 census. A study found that the percentage increase of women who own land jointly with their intimate partners and those whose names are on land title deeds leads to a significant decrease in intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. An increase in the percentage of women who own land alone and that of the regional population as years advance, each lead to a significant increase in IPV against women in the Tanzanian context. The result of this study demonstrates the relevance of promoting joint land ownership in title deeds for both partners as some of the interventions that would reduce intimate partner violence against women. It also proposes regulation to curb the increasing rates of intimate partner violence in the context of increased regional and national populations. Therefore, the study recommends that interventions encourage joint land ownership with the names of each partner appearing on the land title deed while also regulating the growth of regional and national populations.
About the Effect of Stress Factors on Flight Safety Attitude
Authors: Yiğit Zafer
Published: June 2024

Stress has been a concept that is very difficult to define throughout history. The concept was first used in positive sciences and was later used in social sciences and psychology. It can be evaluated as the individual's efforts beyond physical and psychological limits due to incompatible conditions arising from the physical and social environment and the situation of adapting to the environment. The aviation industry is a means of transportation that is developing rapidly day by day. When the causes of accidents experienced by aircraft are examined, it is seen that they are largely caused by human factors. In this study, stress, stress factors, job stress and studies to determine which situations are sources of stress in pilots were investigated. When job stress in pilots is examined; the factors that create stress in pilots were investigated and the studies carried out for this purpose were researched. As a result of the review, they were grouped as psychological and environmental stress factors.

Sensitive, selective, and stable materials are important to act as an electron transport layer to construct signals in biosensors. Graphene-based biosensors get attention in this industry due to their selective and sensitive properties. We fabricated TiO2/rGO and TiO2 using spin coating in this study. Thermal evaporation deposited the silver. The picoammeter examined the influence of microelectrode gap sizes (50, 100, and 250 μm) on electrical performance. It was revealed that a smaller gap generates better electrical performance. At the smallest gap, the 50μm TiO2 (8.04E-12 A) and TiO2/rGO (2.385E-8 A) at 0.04V. The morphological and chemical analysis supported the electrical behavior of TiO2/rGO and TiO2. These results show that the method used was able to form a TiO2/rGO film that is sensitive to the size of the gap between two microelectrodes.

In this study, In2O3 thin films deposited on porous silicon using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method. The PSi substrate was prepared by photo electrochemical etching with the diode laser assistant. The impacts of various laser wavelengths on structural, spectroscopic, and performance characterizations were investigated. XRD revealed that the In2O3/PSi films have a polycrystalline cubic structure. The PL test showed measurements of two emission peaks related to In2O3 films (500, 463, 460 nm) and the PSi membrane (857, 852, 829 nm). The peaks at shorter wavelengths increased the energy gap from 2.4 eV to 2.69 eV. AFM results showed the surface roughness of the prepared samples were (3.78, 2.74, 2.3 nm), respectively and the root mean square (4.47, 3.26, 3.12 nm), respectively. FESEM images illustrated that the prepared samples had an average diameter size of (34.51, 25.55, 29.44 nm) with a cauliflower-like shape at 355 nm and rod-shaped particles for both 532 and 1064 nm. EDX tests were performed to figure out the elemental composition of In2O3/PSi the concentrations. The longer the laser wavelength, the higher the concentration of indium. The highest laser wavelength increased the transmission while decreasing the absorption.

The integration of graphene in field-effect transistor (FET) has aroused tremendous attention in the field of sensor technology, particularly for electronic biosensors. However, transferring graphene from metal substrates has destructive effects on the electrical characteristics of the graphene film, leading to severe impurities and defects. Here, we investigated a new approach of technique to synthesis direct- growth semiconducting graphene via atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD) method. In this study we observe the effects of different reaction times, carbon concentrations and temperatures on the carbon arrangement in graphene. The synthesised graphene was characterised by Raman spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to observe the quality of graphene formation. From the Raman analysis, the I2D/IG ratio < 1 indicates the formation of graphene in multiple layers. The ID /IG ratio < 1 was also observed, indicating that the graphene has less disorder of defects. Based on the electrical measurement of the material at estimated distance of 250 μm, a higher I2D/IG ratio leads to a higher resistance. Full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 2D band shows graphene with the highest I2D/IG ratio has the lowest value of FWHM. As the conclusion, these directly grown semiconducting graphene layers can be efficiently integrated into biosensors without any complex post-treatment process.

Safety tape used to mark hazardous, high risk machine and low hanging object in factories, hospital and so on. With the tape, it can warn people to be careful and not play around the area. Additionaly, nowadays the tape is used at all pemises as warning to people to keep social distancing at least 1 meter. Currently, people are installing the safety tape on the floor manually, without any proper assistive tools to apply, measure and cut the safety tape. Unfortunately, this method is time-consuming, and the worker faces body aches such as in the waist, knees, and arms as they need to bend over and be in an uncomfortable posture while laying the tape. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the RULA and REBA assessment of the current method of safety tape installation. The data will contribute to the design and development of assistive tools to install the tape. The tool is assessed using Theory and Innovative Problem Solving and Universal Design Principles (TRIZ-UDP) intervention tools. This tool will contribute towards design features which are deemed suitable to improve the element of universal design. From the UDP-TRIZ, UDP1a has suggested that the product be designed with TRIZ inventive principle "6 Universality". This tool is equitable for Malaysians by making the tools fit the users' height and size. The improvement toward UDP3b and UDP6a contribute towards ergonomic performance. Further after the development, the prototype is later tested, and another set of RULA and REBA assessments is executed to evaluate the improvement. Results of the RULA and REBA assessment onto the task with using the assistive tool has managed to lower the risk, and it can save working time to 34.5%

The search for biopolymer-based materials to replace dangerous chemicals in agriculture has become increasingly important in recent years for sustainable crop development. In our study enzymatic synthesis of isomaltose was done using potato peels. Isomaltose solvent extracts were tested for their ability to inhibit fungal pathogens like Erysiphe cichoracearum and Fusarium oxysporum. Among those tested, a dosedependent isomaltose extract exhibited significant inhibition on E. cichoracearum and F. oxysporum pathogen conidial sporulation, number of conidia and their motility. Under the in vitro studies, with isomaltose extract at (2.5 mg mL ) recorded a maximum conidial inhibition of 86.2, ?1 E. cichoracearum average number of conidia 4-27 and 5 per cent motility. While, sterile distilled water and DMSO showed maximum growth of the both the pathogens and also their motility was 92-97 per cent, respectively. Similarly, F. oxysporum maximum conidial inhibition of 88.3 and average conidia of 9-30 with motility of 7 per cent was observed after treating with 2.5 mg mL isomaltose. Moreover, isomaltose a biopolymer ?1 derived from potato peel was used in different concentrations as priming agent to cucumber seeds and were evaluated for its effectiveness to enhance plant growth parameters. Among the treatments, seeds-primed with 2.5 mg mL of isomaltose extracts in water exhibited early seedling germination of 96.8 per cent and ?1 vigor of 2210.3 and also cucumber seeds treated with 2.5 mg mL of isomaltose extracts in DMSO showed ?1 significant germination rate of 95.5 per cent and vigor index of 1987.7. Overall, these results determine that the antifungal property of water dissolved isomaltose is highly significant in exhibiting remarkable inhibitory action against Fusarium and powdery mildew phytopathogens, further the dose-dependent concentration of water dissolved isomaltose showed fair to good enhancement of seed germination which will lead to establishing a novel bio-waste agricultural formulation for the management of plant pathogens and in particular Fusarium and powdery mildew disease of cucumber and other cucurbitaceous crops..
