A composite is a material made from a combination of two or more materials. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of a reinforced configuration of coco fiber. The method of making this composite used the hand lay-up method or an open mold process. The test results of the coir fiber composite had an actual density value of 60% fiber and 40% resin composition of 1.19 g/cm3 and the lowest porosity value of 0.58% in the random arrangement fiber impact test specimen. The best value of impact toughness was found in the composition of 50% fiber and 50% resin of 271,311.29 J/m2 in straight fiber specimens with ductile mechanical properties. This value was much higher than the impact toughness of SNI 18111-2007 helmet material of 9,720 J/m2. Based on these results, the composite material, polyester resin reinforced with coconut fiber, is suitable as an alternative material in the manufacture of SNI helmets when viewed from the value of impact toughness and tensile strength.

Lived Experiences of Faculty with Disabilities in Higher Education: A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Method
Authors: Budhathoki Mahendra Kumar
Published: February 2024

The number of faculty members with disabilities has increased nowadays in the university because of the inclusive recruitment policy. The faculties with disabilities still struggle with the disable-unfriendly environments in universities, and they are excluded from the research fields in Nepal although there are some research done on school children with disabilities and people with disabilities in family and society. University faculty members with disabilities need to be studied in order to truly address the real-life problems. This study explores the lived experiences of faculty members with disabilities perceived at Tribhuvan University, Nepal. A hermeneutic phenomenological research method within qualitative approach was exploited. Purposive sampling technique was used to select five teachers with disabilities in the study. Disability studies theory was used as a theoretical tool. The major findings are that the disabled faculty encountered mainly infrastructure/physical structure barriers, university policy and practice barriers, the university executives’ (un)conscious/ (un)intentional ignorance and attitude barriers in the campuses. The teachers with vision impairment and motor impairment endured through difficulty of disable-unfriendly physical structures, university policy and practices. The findings mean the university environments were unfriendly, hostile and adverse to the disabled faculty. This study may motivate the executives to modify the policy, practices and attitudes to the disabled ones at the university which may impact the quality of the university.

Inconsistencies and Challenges around 'Secularism' in Nepal
Authors: Pant Dila Datt
Published: February 2024

Although Nepal adopted secularism in 2015 as its official state-religion relationship, there are still several inconsistencies and challenges around it including that of freedom of religion or belief. Instead of adopting a gradual marginalization and privatization of religion as per the normative proposition of the secularism, Nepal continues to do the opposite or at times, make a fundamental departure from the notion of secular identity. The preservation and the reaffirmation of presence of religion in public sphere and preferential treatment to Hindu  religion at the cost of others continues to create discrimination and pose challenges to implement secularism. These problems do not only seem to remain just non-congruent inconsistencies with the secular identity of the state at the theoretical level alone, but also seem to hinder inter-religious tolerance in practical terms such as right to freely profess, practice and preach religion, thereby impacting the lives of the religious minorities. Against this backdrop, this article examines the key legal-constitutional inconsistencies including state's practices, antagonistic socio-political narratives, and emerging challenges vis-à-vis secularism in Nepal.

Authors: Khan Haniyum Maria , Rahman Mohammad Moshiur , Khandaker Nadim Reza
Published: February 2024

Despite its vast potential, geothermal energy still needs to be tapped in Bangladesh. This study addresses this gap by employing a data-driven, systematic approach to evaluate the Barapukuria Coal Basin as a candidate reservoir for the nation's first geothermal power plant. While existing research mainly focuses on resource identification, this work utilizes geotechnical data from the well-studied Barapukuria region to conduct a comprehensive and thorough analysis. The aim is to quantify the available geothermal power and assess the project's lifetime, energy output, and capacity. The methodology leverages the high geothermal gradient (>48°C/km) observed in the area and existing information on reservoir and fluid properties. This enables the estimation of the recoverable thermal energy and subsequent validation of geothermal system models with empirical data. With no operational or planned geothermal plants in Bangladesh, this study represents a crucial step toward unlocking the resource's potential. The initial results are promising, suggesting the Barapukuria basin is a viable location for transitioning toward cleaner baseload power generation.

Authors: Paudel Manisha
Published: February 2024

This paper explores the relationship between child health outcomes and per capita health investment in Nepal, using key indicators such as child mortality rate, stunting, skilled birth attendance, and appropriate treatment for acute respiratory infections. The study utilizes the data primarily from the World Bank and the Ministry of Finance in Nepal. The study adopts quantitative analysis techniques, including correlation and regression analysis, to assess the impact of health investment on child health outcomes.  The results show that increased per capita health expenditure is positively correlated with improved child health outcomes which shows linear growth in different variables if compared with the per capita investment done in health. There is a negative correlation between per capita health expenditure and child mortality under 5 years of age and this is evidenced that increased per capita health expenditure reduces the child mortality among under 5 years of children. Thus, the study aims to highlight the importance of allocating resources in policy reforms, capacity building and allocating resources in the health sector. The study also incorporates relevant resources from scholarly articles and academic literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic and support the analysis regarding the relationship between per capita health investment and child health outcomes.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: There is growing evidence that excess generation of highly reactive free radicals largely due to hyperglycaemia cause oxidative stress which further exacerbates the development and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications.
Objective: This study aims to assess glycaemic status and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
Methods: Forty confirmed Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients registered with the General Medicine department of Mamata General Hospital, Khammam, Andhra Pradesh were selected for the study. Based on HbA1 c levels these patients were subdivided into two groups one with HbA1 c levels >8.5% was considered poor glycaemic control and the other with HbA1 c levels ≤8.5% was considered as good glycaemic control. Malondialdehyde and total antioxidant capacity were measured among the cases and controls.
Results: This study reveals the comparison of glycated haemoglobin, malondialdehyde, and total antioxidant capacity in 40 confirmed cases of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, which included 19 good glycaemic control and 21 poor glycaemic control. Firstly, the comparison of HbA1C (P value: 0.01), MDA (P value: 0.02) and TAC (P value: 0.04) revealed the significant difference between good glycaemic control and poor glycaemic control. Moreover, the Pearson correlation revealed a significant positive correlation of HbA1C with MDA (+0.72, 0.02) and a negative correlation with TAC (-0.01, 0.7) which was not statistically significant.
Conclusions: It is observed that poor glycaemic control has resulted in increased oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant capacity which can ultimately lead to complications. Antioxidant supplementation may help the patients in overall improvement and may delay the complications.

Гендерлік метафора — әлемнің тілдік бейнесіндегі құнды көрсеткіштерді бағалау құралы
Authors: Жумашева К.Б. , Шоқым Г.Т
Published: February 2024

Ұлттық мәдениеттегі ерекше белгілер және образдардың бағасын беру мен сақтаудың негізгі тәсілдерінің бірі — метафоралар. Гендерлік лингвистикада қолданылатын «гендерлік метафора» термині феминдік және маскулиндік тұлғалық қасиет пен сапалардың берілу тәсілі ретінде қолданылады. Бұл зерттеуде қазақ тіліндегі гендерлік маркерленген метафораларды талдау арқылы ер мен әйел образы қарастырылған, яғни концептуалды метафора теориясына сүйеніп жүргізілген жұмыста қазақтың әлемнің тілдік бейнесінің құндылық фрагментіндегі гендерлік ерекшелік анықталады. Негізгі дереккөз ретінде «Қазақ әдеби тілінің сөздігі» алынды. Зерттеудің мақсаты — гендерлік метафоралар жүйесінде көрініс табатын ерлер мен әйелдердің жүріс-тұрысындағы, мінезқұлқындағы, сыртқы келбетіндегі «еркекке тән», «әйелге тән» гендерлік белгілерді анықтау арқылыгендерлік метафоралардың маңызды мәдени тілдік категория және бағалауыш мағынаны көрсетуде әмбебап механизм екендігін дәлелдеу, оның құндылық фрагментін айқындау арқылы адамның метафоралық атаулары жүйесінде гендерлік маркерленген ассиметрияның бар-жоқтығын қарастыру. Мақалада метафоралық атаулар ер адам мен әйел адамның қасиеттерін, белгілерін көрсететіні анықталып, ондағы мағына қандай бағалауыштық мән беріп тұрғандығы айқындалған. Осының негізінде гендерлік метафораның мәдени тілдік категория ретіндегі бағалауыштық қызметіне талдау жасалады. Нәтижесінде әлемнің нормативті бейнесі материалдарына гендерлік ассиметрия аспектісінде талдау жасау арқылы ерлер мен әйелдерді сипаттауда айырмашылықтар бар екендігі байқалды: ер адамдарды бағалауда этикалық бағалауыштық көрсеткіш басым болса, әйел адамдарды сипаттауда эстетикалық бағалауыштық көрсеткіш басым. Соған сәйкес, гендерлік метафора әлемнің тілдік бейнесіндегі құнды көрсеткіштерді анықтауда маңызды тілдік құрал болып есептеледі деген қорытынды жасалған.

Mục tiêu nghiên cứu này là khảo sát ảnh hưởng tải lượng (OLR) của chất nền đến hệ thống phân hủy hai pha (TAD) chất thải rắn sinh hoạt hữu cơ (CTRHC). Hệ thống TAD bao gồm một bể thủy phân (HR) và một bể mêtan (MR). CTRHC được thủy phân trong bể khuấy trộn liên tục (HR) ở điều kiện pH 6,5 với thời gian lưu 5 ngày. Sau đó, thành phần dịch thủy phân được tách khỏi chất nền và bơm vào bể Mêtan (MR) với các tải lượng 1,6-9,5 kg-COD/(m3.ngđ). Các bể phản ứng được duy trì ở nhiệt độ ấm (36-37oC). Ở bể HR, dịch thủy phân thu được có sản lượng đạt 1,26 g-COD/g-VS với tỉ lệ SCOD/TCOD = 0,63. Thành phần COD của VFAs (sản lượng 0,4 g-VFAs/g-VS) chỉ chiếm 74% so với SCOD, chứng tỏ 26% cơ chất đã bị thủy phân nhưng chưa thể chuyển hóa thành acid bay hơi ngắn mạch. Ở bể MR, sự gia tăng về tải lượng hữu cơ làm giảm hiệu suất của quá trình chuyển hóa. Tải lượng kg-COD/(m3.ngđ) được coi là điểm tới hạn về tải lượng để có hiệu suất hoạt động cao.

This research aims to produce effective culture-based mentoring principles to preserve the value of local wisdom and ethical education in the Banyumasan Javanese community. This research was motivated by the fact that cultural values have been displaced in the modern era while recognizing the importance of exploring the local wisdom of Pakeliran Banyumasan as a value that needs to be explored and preserved. This research uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Observation, interviews, and documentation were used to collect data in this study, so that the principles of culture-based mentoring based on Bawor's lageyan in the story "Bawor Dadi Ratu" were obtained. The results showed that Bawor's lageyan includes cablaka, mbanyol, semblothongan, ksatria, and cancudan. The five lageyan contain noble values as special capital for the Banyumasan Javanese community to navigate life in the global era. Lageyan ksatria and cancudan are important parts of facing the dualism of modern times that separates humans from nature, so that individuals in society can maintain the value of mutual cooperation. Lageyan cablaka, mbanyol, and semblothongan have become an important part of dealing with the dualism of relationships due to technological developments. Lageyan Bawor emphasizes the principle of legitimacy or partnership that allows the values of mutual feelings, mutual acceptance, unity, harmony, brotherhood, and friendship to be maintained. Lageyan Bawor contains the principle of cultural mentoring as an effort to preserve values and ethical education in the context of relational mentoring.

Stages of Media Studies Development in Western Sociology: Formation of Propaganda Models and Their Influence on Changes in the Public Mass Consciousness
Authors: Makukh-Fedorkova Ivanna
Published: February 2024

At the end of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s, scientists became interested in the media as a subject of research, and there was also a concrete practical implementation of the technologies of mass media influence in political life. The defining feature of this period was the limitless power of the mass media to influence human behavior through persuasion, and the impetus for such conclusions was given by the successes of the Entente states in the First World War. Also, the targeted influence of the media on the public and the development of the PR system helped not only the American presidents to influence the domestic audience in the USA and beyond, but also the large-scale propaganda influence helped A. Hitler comes to power. At the first stage of the study of mass communications and the theory of propaganda, two scientific directions are distinguished: the Chicago school of pragmatism, represented by American researchers, and the Frankfurt school, which was developed by European scientists. Analysis of their research demonstrated the superiority of one-way communication, and the means of mass-communication influence was the power of persuasion, with the help of which the audience was deprived of critical thinking and turned into passive participants in communication. This laid the foundation for the first theories of propaganda, which were effectively used to achieve foreign policy goals by the then leaders.

Authors: Bohatyrets Valentyna
Published: February 2024

Now, with the appearance of the latest wave of a sophisticated generative artificial intelligence (AI), humanity is about to embark on an entirely new functioning order. The challenge today is that due to AI the world will definitely undergo drastic metamorphosis tomorrow, and again the day after. To adapt to this reinvented economy, people will need to reinvent their skills, careers – and, indeed, their lives. Therefore, educating people for reinvention in this fluid context will require the reinvention of higher education itself. According to Joseph E. Aoun, taking into consideration the targets to be met in the nearest future, the next generation of HEI students are supposed to be educated to invent, to create, and to discover – to meet society’s targets that any most sophisticated artificial intelligence agent cannot, consequently, a curriculum should include technological literacy, or understanding how machines work and how to work with them. Furthermore, the emergence of cognitive translation studies has stipulated an interdisciplinary approach to delve into the cognitive and behavioural aspects of a broad array of cross-language activities including all kinds of translation and interpreting. In a world that relentlessly pursues efficiency and productivity, the figure of a post-editor, a professional translator who has the skills to add that necessary human touch to a text which has previously been subjected to software algorithms, has become more prominent.

At the National University of Luján, traditional classroom-based instruction characterized the analytical chemistry courses. However, in response to evolving educational needs, a transition to hybrid education combining virtual and face-to-face activities is occurring. In this context, some questions arise: Can all face-to-face activities be replaced by virtual activities? What benefits does the inclusion of virtual activities bring to the curriculum?

Reflecting on the experiences gained during the virtual instruction period that occurred due to the pandemic, the teaching group recognized the value of integrating virtual and face-to-face components. In a comparative assessment of teaching tools, the consensus emerged that a blended approach is crucial for effective analytical chemistry education in the current educational landscape. 

The findings indicated that, for theoretical lessons, a hybrid approach with face-to-face sessions complemented by asynchronous virtual tools proved to be advantageous. This allowed students the flexibility to review lessons at their convenience. Regarding practical work, a preference for face-to-face instruction was noted, as it facilitated hands-on experience in laboratories with real equipment and samples. However, it was found that the simulation software for gas and liquid chromatography equipment allowed the incorporation of valuable experiences for the study of both methodologies without extending the time required to carry out the practical work or requiring new inputs.

Authors: Yewale Vijay , Marathe Sanjay
Published: February 2024

Hepatitis A (HepA) represents a significant global public health challenge. At present, there is no definitive treatment available for managing HepA. Before the availability of HepA vaccines, hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection had emerged as a leading cause of fulminant hepatic failure and a significant indication for liver transplantation in children living in Argentina, Brazil, the Republic of Korea, and India. Inactivated HAV vaccines have demonstrated a high level of immunogenicity. In addition, there is evidence supporting the use of inactivated HepA vaccines in immunocompromised individuals and as post-exposure prophylaxis. Recently, the inactivated TZ84 strain hepatitis A vaccine, which has shown superior immunogenicity for up to 30 years and fewer adverse reactions when compared with other inactivated HepA vaccines, has become available in India. Moreover, the TZ84 strain of the inactivated HAV vaccine has the potential to control community-wide outbreaks. This narrative review offers an overview of the existing evidence concerning immunization against HepA in India, with a particular emphasis on the TZ84 strain of the inactivated HAV vaccine.

Background: Frailty is a syndrome related to the physical aging process and is characterized by a vulnerability to health decline. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) plays a crucial role in weakness, especially in the elderly, serving as a protective factor against frailty. The aim of the study determine the correlation between plasma SIRT 1 level and frailty degree in the elderly outpatientsMethods: This research employed a cross-sectional methodology, involving the observation or measurement of 118 elderly subjects selected through non-probability sampling, Comprehensive medical records were collected, encompassing demographic data such as age, gender, formal education, ethnicity, caregiver status, and marital status. The frailty scale was employed, where 0= robust, 1-2= pre-frailty, and 3-5= frailty. For genetic analysis, 3 cc of blood was collected using the DNA isolation Kit from Promega. Results: Pearson correlation analysis indicated no significant relationship between plasma SIRT1 levels and the presence of positive fertility (r=0.177). However, the F-test revealed a simultaneous and significant association between plasma SIRT1 levels and frailty with a significance level of 0.036 (p < 0.05). The data from the ANOVA test predominantly showed that the frail group had plasma SIRT1 levels slightly above the pre-frail category (>50 ng/ml). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between plasma SIRT1 levels and frailty scale, while the F-test suggests a simultaneous significant association between plasma SIRT1 levels and frailty

Timber as a raw material for making furniture is still lacking. One alternative to overcome this problem is bamboo. The potential for bamboo in Indonesia is quite large. Sembilang bamboo is a species of bamboo that has not been widely used. Research related to the effect of heat treatment on color change and the physical properties of bamboo needs to be carried out to determine color change and the dimensional stability of bamboo. This research was carried out by giving heat at 180°C for various durations (control, 3 hours, and 6 hours). The color change, moisture content, absorption, and specific gravity of heat-treated sembilang bamboo were researched. The results showed that the color of sembilang bamboo after heat treatment became darker than the control. The moisture content and absorption values of sembilang bamboo with heat treatment at 180°C for 6 hours were higher than the control and 3 hours. The specific gravity value of the bamboo control was higher than 3 hours and 6 hours for sembilang bamboo. Heat treatment at 180°C for 6 hours had an adverse effect on the physical properties of sembilang bamboo. Heat-treated sembilang bamboo at 180°C for 3 hours was recommended in this research
