Five Things an Agricultural Producer Can Do to Improve Business Profitability
Authors: Evans Edward 
Published: July 2021

The business of producing agricultural commodities is undergoing considerable change. Long gone are the days when an agricultural producer could afford to ignore what goes on outside the local area and still expect to make a profit. In today's world characterized by the increasing globalization of competition, producers must be cognizant of the world around them and must make informed decisions from an increasing volume of information. Improved financial management has become the single most important factor for success in a globally competitive market. This article summarizes five things that producers can do to improve the profitability of their agricultural businesses.

Disaster Tips for People with Disabilities
Authors: Wilken Carolyn S. 
Published: July 2021

Natural disasters such as tornadoes, floods, and hurricanes create special challenges for people with disabilities, their caregivers, and their families. People with disabilities need to have the same basic disaster supply kit as everyone else. Basic supply lists are available from a number of sources, but the list available at the American Red Cross web site serves as the model (http://www.redcross.org/disaster/safety/fds-all.pdf). People with disabilities may have special needs that go beyond the basic supplies list. The tips in this document were recommended by the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for people with disabilities.

Published: July 2021

Most people can agree that having an involved father has obvious benefits to children. Many of us have read newspapers or seen TV programs that talk about the clear benefits of fathers being involved in raising a child by providing love, support, and comfort. We can probably also agree that fathers are important because they help to teach children values and lessons in solving the problems they may face. Fathers also serve as role models in their childern's lives that affect how well they relate to peers and adults outside the home.

Cornsilk Fly (suggested common name), Euxesta stigmatias Loew (Insecta: Diptera: Otitidae)
Authors: Nuessly Gregg S. , Capinera John L. 
Published: July 2021

The 'cornsilk fly,' Euxesta stigmatias Loew, is an attractive, dark metallic green fly with distinctive wing patterns and wing flapping behavior commonly found throughout southern Florida agricultural communities. Its normally saprophytic life style belies its destructive nature when it comes to its preference for sweet corn ears. Entire fields may have to be passed up for harvest if they went untreated for this destructive pest or if individual treatments were missed due to weather, time or other constraints.

Authors: Wicaksono Ersadio Rahman 
Published: July 2021

Tahun 2015 menjadi tahun terburuk dalam sejarah krisis pengungsi. Sejumlah 19,5 juta orang menjadi pengungsi di seluruh dunia. Kawasan Eropa menjadi tujuan utama bagi para pengungsi untuk mendapatkan perlindungan. Angela Merkel, Kanselir Jerman, memutuskan untuk mengeluarkan kebijakan Open Door guna merespon banyaknya jumlah pengungsi yang berdatangan. Respon Angela Merkel cukup signfikan mengingat beberapa negara Eropa lainnya seperti Perancis dan Hungaria justru berusaha untuk menutup negaranya bagi para pengungsi. Sensitivitas gender dan feminisme terlihat cukup esensial sehingga dapat mempengaruhi Angela Merkel dalam mengeluarkan kebijakan tersebut. Untuk itu, tulisan ini membahas mengenai bagaimana agenda-setting berbasis gender dilakukan oleh Angela Merkel. Kata kunci : Kebijakan, Open Door, Krisis Pengungsi, Jerman, Angela Merkel, Gender, Feminisme.

Extraction of Voiced Regions of Speech from Emotional Speech Signals Using Wavelet-Pitch Method
Authors: Dendukuri Lakshmi Srinivas , Hussain Shaik Jakeer 
Published: July 2021

Extraction of voiced regions of speech is one of the latest topics in speech domain for various speech applications. Emotional speech signals contain most of the information in voiced regions of speech. In this particular work, voiced regions of speech are extracted from emotional speech signals using wavelet-pitch method. Daubechies wavelet (Db4) is applied on the speech frames after downsampling the speech signals. Autocorrelation function is performed on the extracted approximation coefficients of each speech frame and corresponding pitch values are obtained. A local threshold is defined on obtained pitch values to extract voiced regions. The threshold values are different for male and female speakers, as male pitch values are low compared to the female pitch values in general. The obtained pitch values are scaled down and are compared with the thresholds to extract the voiced frames. The transition frames between the voiced and unvoiced frames are also extracted if the previous frame is voiced frame, to preserve the emotional content in extracted frames. The extracted frames are reshaped to have desired emotional speech signal. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE) and statistical parameters are used as evaluation metrics. This particular work provides better SNR and Normalized Root Mean Square Error values compared to the zero crossing-energy and residual signal based methods in voiced region extraction. Db4 wavelet provides better results compared to Haar and Db2 wavelets in extracting voiced regions using wavelet-pitch method from emotional speech signals.

Introdução: A bandagem elástica é uma fita elástica adesiva utilizada na prevenção e reabilitação do complexo do ombro. Entretanto, existem divergências na literatura sobre seus efeitos na atividade eletromiográfica dos músculos periescapulares durante exercícios com carga. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da bandagem elástica na atividade eletromiográfica de músculos periescapulares durante o movimento de flexão do ombro sem carga e com halter em indivíduos saudáveis. Métodos: Vinte e seis indivíduos do sexo masculino realizaram o movimento de flexão do ombro sem carga e com halter com a bandagem elástica sobre o trapézio descendente. Foram avaliadas as atividades eletromiográficas de trapézio descendente, trapézio ascendente e serrátil anterior. São comparados os valores de pico e RMS em percentual da contração isométrica voluntária máxima através da ANOVA One Way. Resultados: Na flexão de ombro com halter ocorreu diminuição do pico da atividade eletromiográfica do trapézio descendente (p = 0,035). Não houve influência sobre os demais músculos periescapulares (p > 0,05). Conclusão: A bandagem elástica diminuiu o pico da atividade eletromiográfica do trapézio descendente durante a flexão do ombro com halter. Pode-se aplicar este resultado na prevenção de indivíduos que podem tender a aumentar a atividade do trapézio descendente.
Achieving Sustainable Development Goals in Bangladesh: Does Population Density Matter?
Authors: Khatun Hafiza , Sumiya Nazmoon Nahar , Ali Al Artat Bin 
Published: July 2021

Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated countries in the world with a density of about 1,265 persons per km2 having a limited land area with high development potential. Being able to accomplish noteworthy achievements in MDGs, Bangladesh is heading towards achieving the targets of the SDGs amid several challenges like high population, resource constraints, poverty etc. This study aims at addressing the challenges and prospect of increasing population density in achieving the SDGs. An exploratory approach has been applied to address how the density of population might influence the achievement of the SDGs. Data on population and other relevant parameters have been identified from census, published documents and articles. The current progress of SDGs attainment shows some of the goals are on track, but more progress could have been achieved unless being hindered by the high density of population. Feeding and providing the basic amenities to this huge population is quite a big challenge with limited resources, in contrast, optimum utilization of the demographic dividend by ensuring effective participation of the young active population in the current development process can also expedite the progress of attainment of SDGs. The adversities of the high density of population can essentially be offset by redistribution of urban population and decentralization of economic activities from major cities. Alongside appropriate and precise policy measures, comprehensive study on quantifying how the density of population is affecting the attainment of SDGs is recommended.

Background: Outcome of TBM can be modified by several predictors.
Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the predictors of outcome of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) at 6 and 9 months.
Methodology: This hospital based prospective cohort study was carried out from October, 2016 to September, 2017 (1 year) in the in-patient Department of Neurology at the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital (NINS & H), Dhaka, Bangladesh. All the patients with age 18 years or more of both sexes with features of TBM fulfilling the case definition criteria was included as the study population. The outcome was measured at 6 and 9 months by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) with no disability (score=0-1), mild disability (score = 2), moderate disability (score=3-4), severe disability (score=5) and dead (score=6). For statistical analysis outcome was classified as death and survival group. A number of clinical, laboratory and radiological parameters were evaluated initially by univariate and finally multiple regression analysis.
Results: A total 54 TBM patients were included in this study. Over 70% of the patients were adolescent or young adult (< 30 years) with mean age of 28.2 ± 12.3 years and 63% were female. Staging of the TBM showed that nearly half (48.1%) were at stage II and 37% cases were in stage III disease. Baseline imaging (CT-scan and MRI) showed basal meningeal enhancement in 40.7% cases, hydrocephalus in 40.7%, infarction 46.3% and tuberculoma in 29.6% cases. Final diagnosis was established as definite TBM in 3(5.6%) cases, probable TBM 30(55.6%) and possible TBM in 21(38.9%) cases. In terms of 6-months outcome, 16(29.6%) cases died and 10(18.5%) had recovered without any neurological sequelae; however, mild, moderate and severe disability were in11.1%, 27.8% and 13% cases respectively. At the 9 months of evaluation 13 (24.0%) had complete recovery without any neurological sequelae, 22 (40.9%) patients survived with various degree of disabilities like visual impairment, hemi or paraplegia, cognitive impairment, rests died giving a total mortality of 19(35.1%). In univariate analysis, age >50 years (p=0.019), duration of illness before initiation of treatment (>45 d) (p = 0.041), convulsion (p = 0.010), altered sensorium (p<0.001), delayed initiation of treatment >1 month (p=0.041) and stage III TBM (p<0.001) were significantly associated with mortality. In multivariate analyses stage III TBM (p=0.004), altered sensorium (p=0.036), delayed initiation of treatment >1 month (p=0.043) emerged as independent predictors of mortality.
Conclusions: In conclusion stage III TBM, altered sensorium and delayed initiation of treatment more than 1 month are the independent predictors of mortality in TBM patients.
