Comparison of stabilizing mechanisms between discrete- and continuous-time consumer-resource models
Authors: Singh Abhyudai 
Published: February 2021

There is rich literature on using continuous-time and discrete-time models for studying population dynamics of consumer-resource interactions. The continuous-time framework is generally used to model populations with overlapping generations and all year-round reproduction. In contrast, discrete-time models are more suited for populations with non-overlapping generations that reproduce in a discrete pulse determined by season. Inspired by the Nicholson-Bailey/Lotka-Volterra modeling formalisms in discrete-time/continuous-time, respectively, we consider host-parasitoid interactions with an arbitrary parasitoid attack rate that is a function of both the host and parasitoid population densities. We characterize and compare stability regimes in both modeling frameworks for analogous host reproduction and attack rates. Our analysis shows that a Type II functional response is stabilizing in both modeling frameworks only when combined with other mechanisms, such as mutual interference between parasitoids. This stability regime related to a Type II functional response is smaller in the discrete-time framework compared to continuous-time, and shrinks with increasing host reproduction. A Type III functional response is by itself stabilizing, but the extent of attack-rate acceleration needed is much higher in the discrete-time framework, and its stability regime expands with increasing host reproduction. Finally, our results show that while mutual parasitoid interference can stabilize population dynamics, cooperation between parasitoids to handle hosts is destabilizing in both frameworks. However, a combination of a Type III functional response together with parasitoid cooperation can create stability. In summary, our comparative analysis systematically characterizes diverse ecological processes driving stable population dynamics in discrete-time and continuous-time consumer-resource models.

Published: February 2021

Objectives: The study was carried out to compare the inhibitory effects between commonly used antibiotics and bee honey samples, so as to correlate the inhibitory effects between bee honey alone and in combination with antibiotics.
Methods: This study was carried out between December 2012 to September 2013. A total of one hundred and twenty-two clinical microbiological specimens and five different floral sourced honey samples were collected between December 2012 to September 2013. Twenty-three multi-drug resistant organisms were selected. Then, AST for commonly used antibiotics, honey alone and combination of honey-antibiotics discs was done. The difference in ZOI of antibiotic contrasting with the antibiotics containing honey were statistically analysed to define the synergism.
Results: The inhibition due to honey is variable among bacteria types (F=39.17, p<0.05). From means plot, Staphylococcus and Acinetobacter were recognized as highly susceptible bacteria for honey (Χ = 21.1 ± 6.2 mm and Χ = 18.3 ± 3.3 mm respectively) but Acinetobacter species could not show synergism to honey-antibiotic combination. The tested organisms from Enterobacteriaceae family showed effective susceptibility to Chloramphenicol-honey mixture. Imipenem-honey combination and Gentamicin-honey combination showed significant effects against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Conclusion: Thus, honey can be used in various bacteria-directed infections and found to be effective in various infections. Incorporation of honey in antibiotics like Chloramphenicol, Imipenem, and Gentamicin work better in healing various infection.

Objective: Aim to assess the incidence of intestinal parasites in government and private school going children.
Methods: The work was conducted from October, 2018 to March, 2019 at Microbiology Laboratory of DAV College, Dhobighat, Lalitpur. A total of 100 stool samples of children aged between 5-12 years were collected from both government and private schools situated in Lalitpur metropolitan city, during school hours. The stool samples were examined for intestinal parasites by Saline wet mount; Iodine wet mount and Formal – ether sedimentation technique. The questionnaires accompanying the queries related to the study were filled.
Results: Of the total 100 stool samples examined, intestinal parasites were observed in 7% (7/100) of the total stool samples. Among the positive stool samples, 71% (5/7) of the stool samples were from government school’s children whereas 29% (2/7) were from private school’s children. Fifty seven percentage 57% (4/7) girls and 43% (3/7) boys were found to be infected with intestinal parasite in the tested stool samples. Out of total parasite detected, 57% (4/7) were eggs of Ancylostoma duodenale, 29% (2/7) were eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides and 14% (1/7) were cysts of Giardia lamblia. The study indicates that Ancylostoma is the most commonly infecting parasite followed by Ascaris and Giardia.
Conclusion: Personal hygiene and sanitary condition were responsible for the incidence of intestinal parasites in the school going children. Environmental sanitation improvement and health education promotion will be helpful to reduce the parasitic infection rate.

CORRELATIVE STUDY OF HISTOPATHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS WITH CLINICAL & ENDOSCOPIC DIAGNOSIS IN UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL ENDOSCOPIC BIOPSY AT TERTIARY CARE CENTER
Authors: Khan Shana Nikhat , Narang Sanjeev 
Published: February 2021

Lesions of Upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is commonly seen in surgical department patients. These patients are subjected to endoscopic examination and biopsy is taken for further histopathological diagnosis. A clinical, endoscopic and histopathological diagnosis is made. This study was done to compare and correlate the results of histopathological diagnosis with endoscopic and clinical findings.
Study Designed: A total 50 Upper Gastrointestinal tract biopsy cases received in histopathology lab were analyzed.
Material and Method: All endoscopic biopsies from upper GIT were received and processed. Paraffin blocks were made and sections were cut at 4 microns thickness and stained with routine hematoxylin and eosin stain. Their clinical and endoscopic reports were collected and compared with histopathological diagnosis.
Result: After analyzing statistically the data, we found that endoscopy results were better than clinical diagnosis and more closer to histopathological diagnosis.
Conclusion: Relation of histopathological diagnosis with endoscopic findings & clinical diagnosis was done in our study. We conclude that endoscopy is incomplete without histopathological examination of biopsy & so, the combinations of both plays an important role in diagnosis & management of upper gastrointestinal tract disorders. Histopathological examination remains the gold standard.

Evolution of constitutional and legal regulation of human right in Ukraine in the context of development of political systems
Authors: Словська І. Є. 
Published: February 2021

The article examines the evolution of the constitutional and legal regulation of human rights in Ukraine in the context of the development of political systems - from the Marxist-Leninist type to the free European one. It is emphasized that, despite the positivist position on the interpretation of human rights, the ideologues of the modern state interpret it and law, as well as other social phenomena, through the prism of new idealistic concepts. In their opinion, the legal act synthesizes the state will, which is reflected in the legal norm and is obligatory for the competent body applying this norm. Subjective right of a person is interpreted as a measure of possible behavior, devoid of class features.
It is emphasized that the Constitution of Ukraine declares the highest social value of a person for his life and health, honor and dignity, inviolability and security. It is stressed that the establishment and protection of human rights and freedoms is the main duty of the state. Thus, according to the constitutional norms, the state is not a passive observer of the realization of the rights and freedoms of citizens, but an active participant in their protection. The existence of state control over the observance and protection of individual rights and freedoms (activities of the state apparatus in the field of protection of rights) and public (control over the redistribution of social space between the state and civil society, coverage of problems between the state and citizens; control over the responsibility of the constitutional state before civil society) is examined. Emphasis is placed on the unity between state and public control over the implementation of social tasks, the effectiveness of social policy and, consequently, the effective protection of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the individual. It is stressed that the shortcomings of law enforcement practice, insufficient protection of individual rights by the state arise for a number of objective reasons.The annual reports of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Commissioner for Human Rights on the observance and protection of the human rights and freedoms of citizens of Ukraine are based on these phenomena. The documents show shortcomings in the protection of all categories of rights and freedoms by public authorities. The author emphasizes that an important factor in the effective functioning of the rule of law is the filling of state-power relations with real legal mechanisms. Real protection of human rights and freedoms is possible if all levels of public power are involved in improving the constitutional order. The number of reforms should be combined with their quality content.

Authors: Musah Alhassan , Adutwumwaa Mavis Yaa 
Published: February 2021

Purpose: The study examined the influence of various corporate governance structures such as board size, board independence, board gender diversity and CEO duality on the financial performance of rural banks in Ghana.
Research methodology: The study collected secondary data from the annual report of 30 rural banks for a 10-year period spanning 2010 to 2019. The data was coded into excel and exported into STATA where descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis were adopted to answer the research questions.
Results: The result shows that there was a positive but statistically insignificant association between CEO duality and ROA and ROE. The study further reveals a positive association between board size and ROA and ROE even though that of ROA was statistically insignificant. Also, board independence was found to be a significant determinant of rural bank financial performance In addition to the above, the study reported a negative association between gender diversity on the boards of the rural bank and ROA and ROE and both associations were statistically significant.
Limitations: As a result of the lack of publicly available data on rural banks in Ghana, the study relied on only 30 out of the over 100 rural banks currently operating across the country.
Contribution: The result of the study will help the Bank of Ghana and the ARB Apex Bank in their formulation of an appropriate corporate governance framework for rural banks in Ghana and enlighten managers of rural banks on corporate governance structures that enhance their financial performance in Ghana.

Authors: Syaikhu Ach 
Published: February 2021

Education is one indicator that creates civilized humans. Every human being has basic intelligence that is owned. Where the basic intelligence describes the essence of self or self-wholeness. Without one of these intelligences, a person cannot become a complete and integrated person. Those basic intelligence are: IQ (Intellectual Intelligence), SQ (Spiritual Intelligence), EQ (Emotional Intelligence), and PQ (Physique Intelligence). The learning process is very important as seen by the role of teacher. When the learning process takes place, there is a process of teaching and learning. But this process is not necessarily going well. As for some of the goals that the author wants to achieve in this paper, among others are: 1) To find out what multiple intelligences are 2) To find out a learning strategy based on multiple intelligences. 3) To find out the teaching strategy for multiple intelligences. From this paper, the author hopes that educators will truly be able to master the multiple intelligences that exist in their students. For this reason, teachers must use Multiple Intelligences Research (MIR) to determine the tendency of students' intelligence.

Pendidikan merupakan salah satu indikator keberhasilan menciptakan manusia yang beradab. Setiap manusia memiliki kecerdasan dasar yang pasti dimiliki. Dimana kecerdasan dasar tersebut menggambarkan hakikat diri atau keutuhan diri. Tanpa salah satunya seseorang tidak dapat menjadi pribadi yang utuh dan terintegrasi. Kecerdasan dasar tersebut yaitu kecerdasan IQ (Intellectual Intelligence), SQ (Spiritual Intelligence), EQ (Emotional Intelligence), dan PQ (Physique Intelligence).

The current phenomenon shows that the noble character values ​​among children are experiencing a quite concerning crisis. One of the factors causing the deterioration of children's character is a crisis or deterioration of national cultural values ​​or local wisdom values. Therefore, exploring cultural values ​​or local wisdom values ​​is a strategic step in an effort to build the nation's character. The purpose of this study was to describe (1) character education through traditional games in MIN 3 Jember, (2) character education through traditional songs in MIN 3 Jember, and (3) character education through folklore in MIN 3 Jember. To achieve this goal, this study uses a phenomenological type of qualitative approach. The data collection technique uses observation, interview, and documentary study techniques. The data collected are primary data and secondary data which include: character education strategy data through traditional games, character education through traditional songs, and character education through folk stories. After the data is collected, it is analyzed using themodel spiral analysis proposed by Cresswel (2007).
The results showed that (1) The teachers at MIN 3 Jember have used traditional games as a medium to instill character values ​​in students. The traditional games played by students are quite varied. The steps taken by the teacher in using traditional games as a medium in instilling the character of students are: choosing traditional games that are in accordance with the learning theme, playing games together with students, followed by explaining the character values ​​contained in the games that have been played the. (2) Teachers at MIN 3 Jember have used traditional songs as a medium to instill character values ​​in students. The steps taken by the teacher in using traditional songs as a medium to instill the character of students, namely: choosing traditional songs that are in accordance with the learning theme, singing songs together with students, followed by explaining the character values ​​contained in traditional songs that have been sung. (3) teachers at MIN 3 Jember have used folklore as a medium to instill character values ​​in students. The steps taken by the teacher in using folklore to instill character values ​​are: (a) the children read the folklore in groups or independently, (b) to find out whether the children understand the story, the teacher make inquiries via 5W + H. (c) the teacher retells the folklore to the children, and (d) the teacher conveys the messages (character values) that exist in the story.
