Authors: Amarasinghe Savindi , Wijesundara Jeeva 
Published: June 2024

“Amba gaha yata” gem market in Rathnapura could be described as a local gem market unique to Rathnapura district. The gem market plays an important role in defining the gem city character, local culture, and community wrapped around the gem trade. In the new development ideas, it is questionable whether proper attention is given to the uniqueness of this gem market. This research paper examines the contribution of this gem market as a ‘place’ defining the unique connection between the ‘local gem trade’ and the ‘city life’. A historical and theoretical study was carried out to understand the importance of this small-scale gem market within the local culture and the community of Rathnapura City. Several factors were identified as contributory, in defining the role of this gem market in Rathnapura city character. A questionnaire is carried out to accumulate information on factors that make this place unique and to understand the community’s attitude towards this local trade market as a place in the city. It was identified that important components like economic significance, accessibility, and physical as well as social connectivity with the local community and the culture have played a major role in the uniqueness of this market. It is concluded that the future developments related to the ‘gem city image’ of Rathnapura city need to comprehend the importance and uniqueness of this place and its close connection with the community.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Helicobacter pylori is believed to cause several gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. The aging process captures many facets of biological variation of the human body, which leads to functional decline and increased incidence of infection in the gastric of elderly people. However, till date, most of the larger studies have focused on adult populations. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that microbial dysbiosis with the progression of age could lead to GI diseases.

METHODS:
This study involved 48 patients: 13 were 18–35 years old (Group 1), 13 were 36–50 years old (Group 2), 14 were 51–65 years old (Group 3), and 10 were 66–90 years old (Group 4). Gastric microbiome composition was analyzed using 16S rRNA next-generation sequencing, and the resulting operational taxonomic units were compared to study the microbial alterations among the age groups.

RESULTS:
Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (F/B ratio) was found to sharply increase from Group 1 to Group 2 and then just as sharply decreased from Group 3 to Group 4. At the phylum level, Patescibacteria was positively correlated and Proteobacteria, Campylobacterota, Actinobacteriota, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Fusobacteria were negatively correlated with the age. At the genus level, Ralstonia and TM7x were positively correlated and Alloprevotella, Staphylococcus, Veillonella, Rothia, and Prevotella showed negative correlation with the age of the subjects. The correlation of other genera with Ralstonia was studied.

CONCLUSION:
Our results highlighted that microbial dysbiosis caused by aging can be a factor for causing GI diseases. Further studies are recommended.

Authors: Alslehat Ruba Ahmad , Samara Osama A. , Alshatarat Amjad T. , Badran Darwish H. 
Published: June 2024

Background:
Greater and lesser tuberosities are present in the upper end of humerus. With the increased prevalence of proximal humeral fractures, providing a precise estimation for the humeral head, greater and lesser tuberosities dimensions, and testing bilateral and gender differences of the proximal part of the humerus are essential information.

Methodology:
Three hundred and ten shoulder magnetic resonance imaging scans were used in this study; these scans were obtained from the department of radiology from January 2020 to December 2021. These images include 155 for males and the same number for females, 190 right-sided humeri, in addition to 120 left-sided images. Analyzing the data was done by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, an independent t-test was used, and P < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results:
There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) between different genders in terms of the diameter of the humeral head, greater and lesser tuberosities. In addition, a significant difference was found between different sides in terms of the diameter of the lesser tuberosities.

Conclusion:
As a result of great variation among different populations, providing a precise morphometry of the proximal humerus has become mandatory to restore the best possible morphology for the proximal humeral end. Furthermore, the difference in these measurements between males and females could be helpful in forensic medicine.

Published: June 2024

Skepticism about security of mobile payment applications has plagued user adoption of such platforms in some countries. Software developers have generally de-emphasized core principles guiding delivering safe mobile applications since for mobile payment applications, movement of monetary value is their priority. We find in surveyed literature that this situation is prevalent in low economy/low financial inclusion countries. Selected were 50 Fintech and traditional banks m-payment applications in both high and lower economic and technological advancement (high E&T apps and lower E&T apps respectively) countries in Africa. This work may have significance in finance or economy, but it is mainly to unravel cybersecurity concerns. The analyses (static and dynamic) of the applications targeted top ten vulnerabilities on 2023 Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) and Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) lists. The study employed Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) as the primary tool for both Android and iOS application while Automated Security Risk Assessment (AUSERA) tool was used to validate the vulnerabilities reported by MobSF. Results show that traditional m-payment apps were generally more secure than Fintech m-payment apps. In the later category, vulnerabilities under information leakage and cryptography category were the most prevalent. On the average, no marked difference was observed in security performance between high E&T apps and lower E&T apps. Incorrect default permission, cleartext storage of sensitive information, use of risky cryptographic algorithm, use of insufficiently random values and information exposure were the most prevalent vulnerabilities. Conversely, insecure implementation of SSL and trusting all certificates or accepting self-signed certificates had fewest occurrences. Poor code quality was the highest source of security vulnerabilities in the study. Declining statistics of SMS leakage in recent studies was confirmed in this work. The most implemented security measure was certificate pinning for preventing or detecting man-in-the-middle attack.

Reliability Overview of Grid-Connected Solar PV System: A Review
Authors: Obatola Samuel O. 
Published: June 2024

Photovoltaic generation is the most practical renewable energy alternative since it receives adequate sun irradiation throughout the year. Solar systems are often first modeled using design tools including MATLAB/Simulink to rectify as well as tweak variables to achieve the direct current (DC) as well as voltage requirements with the irradiance as well as ambient high temperature. On simulated systems, reliability tests and analysis are done to determine the performance as well as high durability just before system components fail. This study overviews various systematic methods for evaluating the reliability performance of large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic systems while taking into account variations in power input as well as ambient condition relaying failure rates of critical components such as Photovoltaic module, inverters, switch gears, transformers, and capacitors. The total system dependability also comprises the mean time to failure (MTTF) as well as mean time to repair, MTTR of a power system. An output of photovoltaic electricity fluctuates substantially and is affected by sun temperature and irradiation, giving intermittent as well as variable energy generation. A probabilistic analytical technique is used to analyse an existing model of grid-connected PV systems. The dependability or reliability of a grid connected system is determined by the failure rate, and various PV grid components such as inverters, PV modules, switch gears, transformers, and so on are analyzed using established FMEA and Weibull models. This paper overviews the reliability of solar PV grid-connected systems and identify the factors that affect their performance. The paper provides a review of the current state of research on PV systems, including the components that make up the system, their operation, and the potential failure modes. Additionally, the paper identifies some of the key factors that contribute to the reliability of the solar PV grid-connected system, including environmental factors, design factors, and maintenance strategies.

Pragmatism and Idealism, the Local and the Universal in Henri Focillon’s and George Oprescu’s Museum Practice and Conception
Authors: Apostol Ioana , Andrei Eduard 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Henri Focillon and George Oprescu are both acknowledged as significant art historians and critics. Despite the importance and scope of their roles as museum curators and directors, research into their work, especially that of Oprescu, is still underdeveloped. Focillon served as the head of the Lyon Museums in France for eleven years (1913–1924), while Oprescu directed the Toma Stelian Art Museum in Bucharest for eighteen years (1931–1949). Rooted in their lesser-known personal and professional relationship, primarily discussed in Romanian historiography, this article undertakes a comparative analysis of their respective work in the sphere of museology. The focus is on highlighting Focillon’s discernible influence on Oprescu’s conception as a museum director and, by extension, on the art museum practice in Romania. The analysis is situated within the broader context of the cultural diplomacy and cooperation fostered by the League of Nations during the interwar period.

Published: June 2024

Zat warna reaktif panas jenis monoclorotriazin merupakan zat warna yang memiliki sifat tidak tahan terhadap alkali. Namun, dalam proses pencelupan dengan zat warna reaktif memerlukan alkali untuk proses fiksasi agar zat warna dapat berikatan dengan serat. Faktor yang berpengaruh pada proses fiksasi adalah penggunaan alkali dan pH larutan pencelupan. Dalam penelitian membahas mengenai pengaruh pH alkali pada larutan pencelupan zat warna monoclorotriazin (C.I Reactive Orange 13) untuk mendapatkan hasil pencelupan pada kain kapas yang memiliki ketuaan dan kerataan warna, serta ketahanan warna terhadap pencucian yang baik (nilai 4-5). Alkali yang digunakan menggunakan alkali kuat (natrium hidroksida) dengan rentang pH 10, 10,5, 11, 11,5, dan 12. Metode pencelupan menggunakan metode perendaman pada suhu 80 selama 60 menit. Evaluasi ketuaan dan kerataan warna menggunakan spektrofotrometer dan laundry O meter untuk menganalisis ketahanan luntur warna terhadap pencucian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penggunaan alkali berpengaruh terhadap ketuaan warna tetapi tidak berpengaruh terhadap kerataan dan ketahanan luntur warna. Hasil pencelupan optimum didapat pada pH 10.5 dengan nilai ketuaan warna (K/S) sebesar 2,94, nilai standar deviasi (kerataan warna) sebesar 0,01, nilai 5 pada ketahanan luntur terhadap pencucian.
