Published: March 2023

The increasing pace of industrial development has created concerns for the environmental issues. Knitting industry has been characterized as one of the highly polluting industries generating a huge amount of waste that creates various environmental problems and hazards. The present study was effectuated to study the different types of waste generation and waste utilization practices followed by the knitting units of Ludhiana. An exploratory survey of ten knitting units was conducted using a self structured interview schedule. It was noted that majority of the units were established during 1999 to 2009 with an initial investment of 90-95 lakhs and were having an annual turnover upto 15 crores. Total 2305 employees were employed in the selected knitting units, out of which 1233 were skilled workers, 751 were semi-skilled workers, 271 were unskilled workers, 30 were supervisors and 20 were managers. The waste hosiery fabrics were generated in the form of surplus fabric after order completion, fabric roll end waste and fabric with cuts or torn fabric (50%). In cutting and stitching sections, waste was mainly generated due to cutting left overs and thread waste (50% each). All the ten selected units sell the waste fabrics to rag collectors, five units to retailers and three units to shoddy industries. It was also reported that four units either dispose off or burn the waste to get rid of it. The major problem faced for proper utilization of waste fabrics was lack of designing knowledge (80%) followed by shortage of time (70%) and inadequate skills (60%).
APPLICATION OF MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION MODELS TO DETERMINE MICROBIAL WATER QUALITY CHANGES ACROSS HIGHLY DISTURBED LOWER HIMALAYAN STREAM AND THE GROUNDWATER SOURCES IN THE PROXIMITY, JAMMU (INDIA)
Authors: SHARMA RENU , SLATHIA DEEPIKA
Published: March 2023

The study investigated the microbial quality of Behlol stream- a Lower Himalayan stream and groundwater sources in its proximity areas in terms of MPN index/100 ml for total and faecal coliforms and application of statistical tools like correlation and linear regression to deduce beneficial parametric associations for easy interpretation of the data. MPN/100 ml index analysis revealed severe microbial contamination at the surface water sampling site S2 and the nearby groundwater sites G2 and G3 indicating the impact of surface water pollution on the groundwater sources. The authors observed that the rate of groundwater contamination decreased with the increase in distance from the surface water sites suggesting that the groundwater pollution is mainly contributed by the release of combined industrial and sewage wastes into the Behlol stream. The study also identified bacterial genera like Escherichia, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Citrobacter, Proteus, Salmonella, and Shigella, belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae via colony cultural characteristics and biochemical tests. A significant relationship obtained from an orderly linear correlation and regression in this study provides a better alternative for a systematic study over the conventional techniques; reducing the quantum of analysis and can therefore be treated as a rapid method for water quality monitoring

Financial Market Participation under the Digital Divide
Authors: Peng Dong
Published: March 2023

With the advent of the Internet age, the era of digital economy is drawing closer to us, and it has brought significant changes to our lives, providing us with many conveniences. However, it has also brought about the impact of wealth disparity, commonly known as the digital divide, which refers to the polarization of poverty and affluence caused by the disparities in the access and application of network technology. Using the 2017 China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) data, this study investigates the extent to which the digital divide affects household participation in financial markets. The findings suggest that the digital divide significantly reduces household participation in financial markets. Furthermore, this study divides the financial market into low-risk and high-risk markets and explores the impact of the digital divide on each of them. It is found that the digital divide significantly inhibits participation in both low-risk and high-risk financial markets, with a more pronounced impact on the latter. Additionally, this study explores the mechanism through which the digital divide affects participation in financial markets, revealing that the digital divide reduces household income and consequently decreases their participation in financial markets. This study provides insights into the relationship between the digital divide and household participation in financial markets, sheds light on the negative impacts of the digital divide, and offers useful information for households in making decisions regarding participation in financial markets.

Research on the Influence of Promotion Types and Scarcity on Consumers' Purchase Intention in The Context of E-commerce Live Broadcasting
Authors: Ding Silu
Published: March 2023

E-commerce live broadcasting has become a popular form of e-commerce sales. Compared with traditional marketing channels, e-commerce live broadcasting can more influence consumers' purchasing behavior. Based on relevant theories such as frame effect theory, commodity theory and scarcity effect, and combined with practical marketing problems of e-commerce live broadcasting, this paper discusses the influence of scarcity on consumers' purchase intention under different promotion methods in the context of e-commerce live broadcasting, as well as its internal mechanism. In this paper, we publish online questionnaires on the data platform to collect the required data. SPSS and AMOS software are used as analysis tools to analyze the collected data. The results of experiment 1 show that when anchors use price discount promotion in live broadcast, compared with limited time, the use of quantity limited can stimulate consumers to have higher purchase intention. When the host adopts the gift promotion method, compared with the quantity limited, the use of limited time can better stimulate consumers' purchase intention. The results of experiment 2 show that, when price discount promotion is adopted, perceived value plays an intermediary role in the influence of quantity limited on consumers' purchase intention, discount range plays a moderating role in the relationship between quantity limited and purchase intention, and discount range can effectively regulate the relationship between quantity limited and purchase intention through the intermediary of perceived value. The results of experiment 3 show that when the gift promotion method is adopted, perceptual arousal plays an intermediary role in the influence of time limit on consumers' purchase intention, and the gift correlation plays a moderating role in the relationship between time limit and purchase intention.

Published: March 2023

Il contributo si concentra sull’analisi del carducciano "Per il LXXVIII anniversario dalla proclamazione della Repubblica francese" –poi pubblicato nel secondo libro dei "Giambi ed Epodi" – e sul contesto storico in cui il componimento affonda le radici. Scritto all’indomani della Breccia di Porta Pia e della conquista di Roma sotto la guida dei Savoia, il testo in oggetto prorompe come un componimento di dissenso, di anti-potere e di definitiva sconfitta delle speranze repubblicane. Lo studio qui proposto porta inoltre alla luce il manoscritto autografo dell’epodo in questione, rinvenuto presso l’autografoteca Bastogi della Biblioteca Labronica“F. D. Guerrazzi”di Livorno, in cui si registrano varianti inedite. Le lezioni qui presenti, benché si tratti soprattutto di varianti formali, portano inevitabilmente a tornare sul caso esemplare del Carducci politico.

This contribution focuses on the analysis of Carducci’s "Per il LXXVIII anniversario dalla proclamazione della Repubblica francese" – later published in the second book of "Giambi ed Epodi" – and on the historical context in which the poem is rooted. Written in the aftermath of the breach of Porta Pia and the conquest of Rome under the leadership of the Savoy, the text in question emerges as a composition of dissent, anti-power and definitive defeat of republican hopes. The present study proposed here also brings to light the autograph manuscript of the epode in question, found in the Bastogi autograph library of the Labronica Library “F. D. Guerrazzi” of Livorno, in which unpublished variants are recorded. The variants presented, despite being mostly formal variants, inevitably bring our attention back to the exemplary case of the political Carducci.

Abiotic and biotic stresses severely affect the crop’s growth and development at every stage of growth cycle. Seed priming is helpful technique to enhance seed germination and growth in stress environment. Seed priming is a control procedure followed by re-drying which will allow the seed to imbibe water stimulate the internal biological process essential for germination but this process will not permit the seed to be truly germinate. Currently many seed priming method have been used like hydro-priming, osmo-priming, halo-priming, thermo-priming, bio-priming and solid matrix priming. Various studies confirmed that seed priming has several advantages including, early emergence high water use efficiency, stand establishment, deeper roots germination in broad range of temperature and resistance against disease and environmental stresses.

Published: March 2023

The performance of spring maize hybrids are severely affected by high temperature at reproductive phase causing marked reduction in yield. Exogenous application of natural and synthetic plant hormones may induce tolerance against temperature constraints. Therefore, a field study was conducted to evaluate the performance of two maize hybrids i.e. PS525 (heat tolerant) and P1543 (heat sensitive) with exogenous application of growth promoting substances (3% moringa leaf extract (MLE), 75 mg L-1 kinetin, 85 mg L-1, silver nitrate and 0.1 mg L-1 triacontanol). Plants without spray (control) and water spray were taken for comparison. Different agronomic, physiological and quality traits were measured using standard procedure. Both hybrids showed improved performance in response to foliar spray of growth promoting substances. But maximum results were observed in hybrid PS525 with foliar application of 0.1 mg L-1 triacontanol and followed by 3% MLE. Enhancement in maize growth and yield through foliar spray of growth promoting substances was attributed more likely due to improved chlorophyll and relative water contents, LAI and decreased cell membrane permeability.

Biometrics provides better authentication. Unprotected biometrics is open to attacks from intruders as stolen biometrics may not be revocable. Although there are several points where attacks can be launched on biometric systems, template databases are said to be the most frequently attacked. When a template database is attacked, attackers can add fresh templates, modify the existing ones, copy or steal templates and later construct a spoof from it or replay it back into the biometric system to impersonate a genuine user. Several template security systems have been presented in the literature to secure biometric templates. Fuzzy vault, as proposed by many researchers is, to some extent, one of the best algorithms to achieve template protection as it has good security. Fuzzy vault, however, lacks irreversibility, revocability, and diversity. To address these disadvantages and strengthen fuzzy vault, this study combines a noninvertible feature transformation template protection algorithm known as cuckoo hashing that possesses irreversibility, revocability, and diversity properties with a fuzzy vault for privacy. The study used fingerprint biometrics as it is widely used. The proposed algorithm was implemented in the MATLAB 2016a environment using FVC 2004 DB1 fingerprint public database. The proposed algorithm recorded a FAR of 0.01% and an FRR value of 0.09% with an EER of 0.05%.

The demand for cloud computing has increased immensely, and its security is becoming challenging. The enormous growth in cloud computing adaptation has been observed, but the information security concerns have not been addressed thoroughly. The security issues related to cloud computing are a concern. The emergence of Blockchain as a key security provider has increased the hope for the availability of a secure cloud computing environment. The data-sharing technique based on the cloud scenario relies on the network's storage and architecture; however, the storage providers are considered trusted third parties for data-sharing and storage purposes. The associated limitations such as security, high operational cost, centralized storage capability, and data availability have become a challenging task, which leads to the development of a trusted data management system for secure data sharing through the Blockchain. This study presents an analysis of secure data-sharing techniques using Blockchain. The related research articles were elicited from several sources such as Springer, IEEE, Elsevier, and other online sources. The primary studies have been categorized into four types: healthcare data sharing, vehicular communication-based data sharing, IoT-based data sharing, and other miscellaneous techniques. The techniques have been analyzed based on various performance metrics. The analysis and findings of this study can pave a way for the future development of safe data-sharing techniques using Blockchain technology.

As a method of transportation, the bus rapid transit system (BRT), also known as BRT, has a greater occupancy rate and is better suited for travelling over longer distances. Evaluating the performance of potential alternatives is necessary because of concerns over sustainability and the need to improve BRT's performance to increase customer satisfaction. On the other hand, criteria that are predicated on the fundamental idea of the emission performance of BRT call for ambiguous or indeterminate expert evaluations to be addressed using single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs). An integrated paradigm for making decisions based on several factors is shown here. To evaluate and rank the solutions, we used a measurement of the different options available and ranked them with the Neutrosophic MARCOS method.

Mahalleler insanların ikamet ettikleri yerler olmaktan öte Osmanlı şehirlerinin mali, idari, toplumsal ve mekânsal yapısını yansıtan çok unsurlu ünitelerdir. Bu sebeple başta Osmanlı arşivleri olmak üzere pek çok tarihi kaynakta mahalle ve mahallelilere dair veriler bulunabilmektedir. Kaynaklar özellikle mahalle isimleri ve lokasyonları bakımından zengin bir muhtevaya sahipse de bu zenginlik, mahalle araştırmalarında kullanılacak olan metodoloji üzerine çalışmalar yapmayı gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu makale mahalle çalışmalarına tasvirî ve metodolojik olarak katkıda bulunmayı amaçlarken arşiv belgelerinin mahalleler hakkında ihtiva ettiği bilgilerin sınırlarını da tartışmaktadır. Makalede mahallelerin tespiti ve mekânsallaştırılması için mevcut literatüre alternatif bir yöntem önerisi sunulmuştur. Bu kapsamda şer’iyye sicilleri odağında 1730-1787 yılları arasında suriçi mahallelerinin yer aldığı bir envanter hazırlanmış ve Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri’nden ArcGIS programı kullanılarak haritalanmıştır. Böylece 18. yüzyılda mahallelerin sayı, lokasyon ve isimlerinin hangi kaynak, yöntem ve aşamalarla ortaya konulabileceği analiz edilmiştir.

Sekitar 49,5% dari Siswa SMA di Kota Bandung memiliki tingkat literasi gizi yang rendah. Di sisi lain, ditemukan juga bahwa pada kebanyakan siswa/i memiliki kebiasaan untuk mengkonsumsi Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSB) atau minuman dengan kandungan gula yang tinggi. Kedua hal ini dapat merupakan faktor resiko yang dapat menuntun kepada banyak penyakit kronis di masa depan. Oleh karena itu tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah berkolaborasi dengan SMA Advent Naripan dan SMA 4 Muhammadiyah untuk meningkatkan literasi gizi dan mengurangi konsumsi SSB. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan melakukan Penyuluhan. Kegiatan ini telah dilakukan di kedua sekolah tersebut pada tanggal 14 dan 18 November diikuti oleh total 352 siswa. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi pretest dan posttest melalui kuesioner yang diberikan kepada partisipan diketahui bahwa siswa/i memiliki peningkatan yang signifikan dalam hal nilai literasi gizi (t319 = 17,727, p < 0.01). Di sisi lain, konsumsi SSB para peserta kegiatan ini memiliki perubahan yang signifikan (Z = -3,508; p < 0,01) dimana 41,9% siswa/i sudah mengurangi konsumsi SSB setiap minggunya. Oleh karena itu dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan ini telah meningkatkan literasi gizi dan juga mengurangi konsumsi SSB pada partisipan yang hadir. Oleh karena itu disarankan juga agar kegiatan seperti ini dapat dilakukan pada sekolah-sekolah lain agar dapat mendidik siswa/i kepada pola makan yang jauh lebih sehat.
