Published: March 2024

One of the most crucial sectors to explore in Malaysia are agriculture and poultry. Indeed, there is a strong correlation between agricultural growth and economic growth. The inconsistent weather in Malaysia will cause the temperature to increase and decrease, and this problem will affect the health of the chicken. Small-sector farmers cannot afford the high cost of installing and maintaining the temperature control system. Therefore, new effective technological approaches were required to continuously improve the productivity, profitability, and sustainability of major farming systems. An automatic temperature control system was designed to control the temperature in the chicken shade. This system was controlled by Arduino UNO, which was programmed using Arduino IDE software. The system started to operate when the sensor detected the temperature in the chicken shade above 28oC. The exhaust fan, pump, and water sprinkler are the main components in this system that control the temperature in the chicken shade. The system reduced the temperature in the chicken shade by 1oC to 3oC. The system also affects the rate of chicken growth. By lowering the temperature in the chicken shade, the rate of the chicken growth increases. The chicken starts to grow faster in week 3 at 5 weeks. Starting in week 3, the chicken in controlled room temperature was 46g heavier than the average chicken weight in a normal room. In week four, the average chicken weight in a controlled room was 116.25g heavier than in a normal room. In week six, the average weight of chicken in the controlled room was 884.5, while in normal room conditions, it was 732g. The initial bar graph and week six bar graph for both conditions show significant differences in the chicken's growth rate.

Historical Evolution of Secured Creditors' Satisfaction in Georgian Insolvency Law: A Comparative Analysis with International Standards
Authors: Bakhbakhashvili Sopiko 
Published: March 2024

Secured creditors hold a pivotal position in shaping the business sector, given their substantial market influence. To ensure their protection, it is essential that the regulatory norms governing insolvency in the country adhere to internationally recognized standards. In pursuit of this goal, the Law of Georgia "On Rehabilitation and The Collective Satisfaction of Creditors' Claims," enacted on April 1, 2021, is noteworthy. This legislation, diverging significantly from its predecessor, meticulously addresses the role of secured creditors and delineates the criteria for their satisfaction within the framework of Georgian insolvency law.

The objective of this paper is to conduct a systematic analysis of the role played by secured creditors and the historical evolution of satisfying their requirements within the framework of Georgian insolvency law. Simultaneously, the study aims to assess how the enacted Georgian insolvency law aligns with the recommendations, principles, and directives of international organizations.

Medical records are files that contain records and documents including patient identity, examination results, treatment that has been given, as well as actions and other services that have been provided to patients. Data collection was carried out at the Regional General Hospital Dr. Rasidin Padang by recording data on inpatients who were discharged from the period March 01 - March 31, 2018, so that data were obtained as many as 251 patients with 103 beds. Then data processing was carried out using a computer with the Microsoft Excel application program. Furthermore, the data were analyzed and the results of health care statistical processing were presented in the form of tables and Barber Johnson charts. From the grouping of the most common diagnoses based on ICD-10 at the Regional General Hospital Dr. Rasidin Padang for the period March 01 - March 31, 2018, it was found that the most common code was code A91 as many as 21 patients with a diagnosis of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF).Grouping the main diagnoses based on bowel movements in ICD-10 resulted in the highest frequency of diagnoses being BAB I (Certain infectious and paracitic diseases) and BAB XV (Pregnancy, chilbirth and pueperium) as many as 12.75% with a total of 32 patients each. The procedure grouping based on ICD-9 CM in RSUD dr. Rasidin Padang for the period March 01 - March 31, 2018 was SC with procedure code
74.99 as many as 14. Based on the DTD code and its definition, it is known that the most common diagnosis is DTD 032.1 (Dengue hemorrhagic fever) as many as 21 patients. In the RL4a Format table, it is known that the most age group as an inpatient at RSUD dr. Rasidin Padang for the period March 01 - March 31, 2018 is the age group 45 - 64 years as many as 70 patients with female gender as many as 37 patients and male as many as 33 patients, while based on the disposition died as many as 2 and live as many as 249. After data processing, it was obtained that the percentage of BOR at RSUD Dr. Rasidin Padang for the period March 01 - March 31, 2018 had not reached an efficient number because the value obtained was 26.65% or 27%, while the BOR efficiency rate was 60-85%. BTR is 2.44 or 2 times, because the calculation of the BTR number is per year, the BTR efficiency cannot be determined. TI is 9.33 or 9 days. This means that the TI value is not yet at an efficient point, because the TI efficiency value is 1 - 3 days.
Towards sustainable assessment formats in language teaching: testing integrated skills with portfolio-based tasks
Authors: Coderch Marion , Lewis Laura 
Published: March 2024

In this paper, we share our experience of using portfolio-based tasks to assess integrated skills in German and Spanish language modules at level C1. The modules, delivered during the academic year 2022-23, are part of the institution-wide language provision at Durham University, which means that students come from various disciplines different from Modern Languages.
The assessment system we have used is based on the principles of flexibility and choice. Throughout the year, students build up a body of work where they record and reflect on the experiences of a person living in a country where the target language is spoken. The portfolio contains both formative and summative submissions, so that students can benefit from the feedback received for formative tasks to fine-tune their summative work. In this regard, the system involves a combination of assessment for learning and assessment as learning. Every submission integrates different language skills, as well as transferable skills such as decision-making, autonomy, creativity, critical thinking and intercultural knowledge. Besides adding authenticity to the assessment tasks, the development of these skills is aligned with the principles of education for sustainable development (AdvanceHE, 2021).
At the end of the paper, we explain what we have learned from the use of this assessment system, as well as the aspects that we would like to enhance and those that we would need to improve in future editions.

INCREASED ACCESS MEANS DECREASED FORMALITY IN MEDIATION
Authors: Schmitt Nicholas , Adler Samantha 
Published: March 2024

One of the greatest advantages of the “digital turn” in mediation, touted by many, is the increased access it can provide to users of mediation. That access could include a person with a disability who need not travel to places that are inconvenient or inaccessible or a busy single parent who can now mediate from their homes. There is no question that digital mediation can allow more people to participate. A disclaimer: this paper does not discuss the many users who might not have access to consistent or high-quality internet access or a device that allows them to access the internet. Even where users have such access, there are some negative side effects to the “digital turn” in mediation and of this increased access; a main one is an associated decrease in formality—at least in non-commercial settings. Decreased formality can lead to decreased engagement in the process, an increase in inflammatory language, an increase in in-group vs. out-group conflicts within the session, acceptance of less fair outcomes by the side with less power, and a greater likelihood that parties will end the process with little or no notice. Professor Delgado was one of the first writers to note that mediation provides a less formal, and therefore potentially less fair process, particularly in divorce mediation and arbitration. Taking mediation online has increased those dangers, some, including Professor Ebner, have written on the potential dangers of the digital mediation process.
This paper will explore those dangers and some possible means to attenuate them in the digital world. Some of those means include ways to increase trust, build rapport, and minimize misunderstandings and dishonesty, to ensure that increased access does not become a decrease in the quality of mediation or lead to less fair outcomes for users of mediation in the digital turn.

Aim: The aim of the study is to generate data on the carbon stock in four predominant agroforestry systems in the southeast Nigeria. Agroforestry (AF) system studied were oil palm, plantain, Bush mango and mixed agroforestry systems.
Methods: Methodologies adopted were measurement of diameter at breast height (dbh) of woody species, soil and litter sampling and the use of allometric equations in the determination of biomass carbon.
Results: The results obtained showed that total agroforestry carbon ranged from 160.2±102.2Mg C ha-1 to 130.7 ±93.2 Mg C ha-1. Mixed AF system recorded the highest total biomass carbon of 8.39 ±1.4 Mg C ha-1 and lowest in bush mango AF. There was significant positive relationship between total biomass carbon and species richness and total agroforestry carbon. Also, SOC positively with all the ecological parameters examined. Soil organic carbon contributed significantly to the total agroforestry carbon recorded in this study.
Conclusion: With the level of carbon stock observed in the biomass and soils of the agroforestry systems in the region, agroforestry practices should be encouraged to boost climate change mitigation.
Field Efficacy of Insecticides against Conopomorpha sinensis Bradley (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae): A Major Pest of Litchi and its Management in Bihar, India
Authors: Suman Swati , Kumar Manendra , Singh Braj Kishore Prasad 
Published: March 2024

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a subtropical fruit; family Sapindaceae. Litchi offers a good potentiality for its cultivation in Bihar both nutritionally and economically. India is the second largest global producer of litchi, next only to China. Litchi fruit borer (Conopomorpha sinensis Bradely, 1986 Lepidoptera: Gracillaridae), litchi mite, leaf cutting weevils, litchi looper, and leaf roller are major pests which attack litchi plant, during different seasons. They cause damage to the litchi plant throughout the year but their seasonal abundance not only damage the plant, but also the fruits. Among these pests, C. sinensis is the prominent one remaining active throughout the year but it’s the peak period was from July to November (as shoot borer) and from March to May (as fruit borer). 30-70% of the dropped. The results revealed that the lowest number of fruits infestation was recorded with Lambda Cyhalothrin 5 EC @ 0.003% followed by the treatment with Spinosad which gave better result 25 % infestation was. Therefore, an attempt has been made to study management options for litchi fruit and shoot borer C. sinensis by using new control measures.

Background: Services rendered in exchange for reward or payment may be referred to as a job. Different rewards exist for different services; however, some services are associated with varying levels of discomfort, deprivations or denials which the individual may perceive as stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction among members of staff in a new medical university in the year 2020/2021.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among total population of members of staff in a private medical university, using a pretested questionnaire. Data was analysed using The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0.
Results: A total of one hundred and twenty-eight (128) respondents were involved in the study. There were 52 (40.6%) lecturers. The cumulative mean score for academic workload, work environment, student-related issues, and research and career development was 10.84. There was unwillingness among a variable number of staff (between 19 (14.8%) and 71 (55.5%)) to comment on job satisfaction. Fewer respondents strongly agreed with positive items of assessment for job satisfaction. A statistically significant inverse difference was found between job stress and job satisfaction.
Conclusion: Although varied degrees of work stress were recorded among the university staff, the cumulative average stress score was high. Fewer respondents strongly agreed with positive items of assessment for job satisfaction, and a few staff were unwilling to provide responses on job satisfaction. Efforts should be intensified to reduce stress among staff with the goal of improving job satisfaction.
Postmetallocene Lanthanide–Hydrido Chemistry: A New Family of Complexes [{Ln{(Me3Si)2NC(NiPr)2}2(μ‐H)}2] (Ln=Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Yb) Supported by Guanidinate Ligands—Synthesis, Structure, and Catalytic Activity in Olefin Polymerization

AbstractThe new family of Lewis base free hydrido complexes of rare‐earth metals supported by guanidinate ligands [{Ln{(Me3Si)2NC(NiPr)2}2(μ‐H)}2] (Ln=Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Yb) was synthesized and structurally characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray and solution NMR studies revealed that these complexes are dimeric in both solid state and in [D6]benzene. The dimeric hydrido complexes can adopt eclipsed (Nd, Sm, Gd) or staggered (Y, Yb, Lu) conformations depending on the metal‐atom size. Catalytic activity of these [{Ln{(Me3Si)2NC(NiPr)2}2(μ‐H)}2] complexes in the polymerization of ethylene, propylene, and styrene has been investigated. Complexes of Sm and Y have high catalytic activity in ethylene polymerization (1268 and 442 g mmol−1 atm−1 h−1, respectively).

Teaching statistics to clinical research staff in a pharmaceutical company
Authors: Dhar Sunil K. , Kianifard Farid 
Published: May 2006

AbstractEducation of clinical research staff in understanding statistical concepts is an area of importance for pharmaceutical companies. This understanding is needed to help them communicate with statisticians using a common language, in designing clinical trials and interpretation of clinical trial results. Such staff has little time for a one‐semester or even a one‐week continuing education course in statistics. Faced with this reality, we developed a 3‐module course, for a total of 1.5 days, which was taught over a period of one month that addresses the needs of this audience. We describe the format and content of the course and provide references that can serve as a resource for teaching such a course. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Use of probability‐based measures for automated damage assessment
Authors: Miranda Eduardo 
Published: May 2006

AbstractThe use of component fragility functions for automatic damage assessment in instrumented buildings is described. Fragility functions used in this study provide a probabilistic mapping between peak structural response parameters and various levels of damage. The approach permits the estimation of damage in various types of components for each story of a building. Two types of fragility functions are used. The first permits the estimation of the probability of being in a certain damage state with knowledge on the level of maximum interstory drift ratio. The second permits the estimation of damage in acceleration‐sensitive components by providing estimates of the probability of being in a certain damage state with knowledge on the level of maximum peak floor acceleration. Calculation of the probability of reaching or exceeding a certain damage state as well as of being in a certain damage state are described. An example of a two‐story building is used to illustrate the use of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Biogeographical patterns in endoparasite communities of a marine fish (Sebastes capensis Gmelin) with extended range in the Southern Hemisphere
Authors: González M. T. , Barrientos C. , Moreno C. A. 
Published: May 2006

AbstractAim  The endoparasites of Sebastes capensis Gmelin are examined over most of its geographical range (coasts of Peru, Chile, Argentina and South Africa) to determine: (1) whether the endoparasite communities of this fish show zoogeographical patterns; and (2) if so, whether there are any relationships between spatial variations in the endoparasite fauna and known zoogeographical patterns for marine free‐living organisms (e.g. prey that are included in the life cycles of endoparasites).Location  Fish were captured at nine localities along the Pacific coast of South America, from 11° S in the centre of the Peruvian coast, to 52° S in southern Chile, and also at two localities in the Atlantic Ocean, at 43° S in Argentina, and 34° S in South Africa.Methods  From April to September 2003 and April to August 2004, 626 fish were captured. Endoparasites and diet were examined following traditional methods. Cluster analyses were used to evaluate the distribution patterns of the endoparasite communities, and to evaluate similarities in the prey composition per locality.Results  The endoparasite fauna of S. capensis consisted of four species widely distributed along the Pacific coast: Ascarophis cf. sebastodis, Anisakis sp., Corynosoma australe, and Pseudopecoelus sp. Other parasites were distributed only in some geographical areas. The species richness of the parasite communities increased with latitude along the Pacific coast, while parasite communities from Argentina and South Africa showed low species richness. Cluster analyses based on endoparasite composition and on prey composition grouped localities in a way consistent with known biogeographical areas for marine free‐living organisms.Main conclusions  The endoparasites of S. capensis exhibit a pattern associated with known biogeographical areas for free‐living organisms. The latitudinal increase in endoparasite community richness is associated with changes in prey composition (intermediate hosts) and also possibly with the presence of definitive hosts. Therefore, the biogeographical patterns of prey are considered key determinants of the endoparasite community structure of the host.
