Colleges are the gateways to the higher education. College is the door step which leads a student to the treasure of knowledge. Up to the college level main focus of education lies at preparing the student to understand how to study. True education begins only after a student steps in a college. Colleges open new vistas of knowledge for the students and make them practical in responding to the problems at individual as well as social level. Apart from teaching the respective subjects, colleges are supposed to develop and enhance the creativity and learning ability among the students as well. Students are taught and trained to develop research aptitude to enter the university level. The role of library in a college is as good as of blood in our body. Besides providing stimulus to reading by procuring materials for study and research, college libraries also feed the intellect of the student, and thus serve the teaching and research needs of the faculty. No academic institute can achieve its goals without a well equipped and up to date library. Teacher as a nation builder should be highly skilled and professional with good knowledge and skills of all the latest developments at global level and such an intellect is formed and shaped only in the library. The significance of a library in an educational institution is highlighted by NKC (2007) as, “A library is not a building stacked with books – it is a repository and source of information and ideas, a place for learning and enquiry, and for the generation of thought and the creation of new knowledge.”
CHALLENGES FACED BY VISUALLY IMPAIRED LEARNERS AMONG PATIENTS ATTENDING EYE HEALTH CARE SERVICES AT JINJA REGIONAL REFERRAL HOSPITAL. A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY.
Authors: Mugisa Gerald , Kyakulaga Adonia 
Published: January 2024

Purpose of the study
To determine the challenges faced by visually impaired learners among patients attending eye care services at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted at the eye clinic and data was collected using interviews, administered questionnaires, interpreted, and analyzed where 100 respondents were chosen for the study.
Principal findings:
The study revealed that the majority of the participants in the study were females 54(54%) and males 46(46%). The study also revealed the majority of the participants were at the secondary level of education 38(38%), tertiary level 25(25%), primary level 23(23%), and the least at the University 14(14%). Negative attitude towards visually impaired learners was the main challenge 44(44%) followed by lack of resources 24(24%) and school timetable was the least challenge 07(7%).
Conclusion:
According to the study, females posed a high number of participants, and negative attitude toward visually impaired learners was the main challenge faced by the participants.
Recommendations:
The Ministry of Education and Sports should establish more special needs schools even in hard-to-reach areas and emphasize training more personnel who can handle the visually impaired learners to realize their maximum potential. The government should budget for resources needed by the learners. More assessment units for example; well-equipped health centers should be established in the communities because most of the communities don’t have the equipment and even personnel to manage appropriately the eye problems and most of the good hospitals are mostly located in urban centers which are not easily accessible by visually impaired due to distance and financial constraints.
Where is Homelessness? When is Homelessness? Chronotopic Analysis of OECD Narratives of the Homelessness through Space, Time, and Body
Authors: Abdalreza Zadeh Mohammad , Cucuzzella Carmela , Graham John R. , Javedani Ali 
Published: January 2024

Defining homelessness clearly without reducing the problem's complexity helps governments frame effective and conscious policies. There is a growing need for a theoretical framework that explores the common ground and generative structure among broad narratives about homelessness. In this article, we propose that Bakhtin’s (1981) concept of chronotope has excellent potential to achieve this goal. Chronotopes help us understand how time, space, and body configurations are represented in language and discourse for recognizing various situations and personas. Chronotope also enables us to reveal the assumptions and perspectives behind the narrative. Using a chronotopic lens, we analyzed narrations of homelessness from national governments and international organizations of 38 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries. The findings reveal the dynamism, diversity, and assortment of dimensions related to time, space, and body in the analyzed narratives and highlight five main perspectives viewing homelessness as an issue of security, vulnerability, quantification, inclusivity, and human rights. The results of this analysis will guide upcoming research in two primary areas: investigating varied measurement methodologies for assessing different aspects of time, space, and body and scrutinizing how distinct attitudes towards homelessness impact policymaking and development processes.
Unavoidability in U.S. Privacy Law
Authors: Moy Laura 
Published: January 2024

Why is U.S. privacy law structured the way it is, with a series of sectoral laws rather than a cross-sectoral law or laws? Why does U.S. privacy law protect information shared in certain contexts—such as information shared with an attorney, a healthcare provider, or a financial provider—rather than particular types of information? One possibility is that sectoral laws apply to contexts in which people typically share highly “sensitive” information containing intimate secrets or with the potential to harm them financially or psychologically.
But this Article argues that there is something else at play—that in fact, an under-discussed and underappreciated factor has been a key consideration throughout the history of U.S. privacy law: the unavoidability of information sharing. Tracing the development of several areas of sectoral U.S. privacy law over time, this Article shows that as society changed and contexts emerged in which individuals increasingly found they could not avoid sharing information about themselves with other parties, policymakers repeatedly responded by ratcheting up the privacy protections for information shared in those specific contexts.
Taking the discussion of unavoidability into the modern era, this Article ties the tradition of unavoidability consideration in U.S. privacy law to lawmakers’ current struggle to craft comprehensive privacy legislation. Recent years have seen widespread recognition that the sectoral approach is no longer adequate in the modern information economy. But legislators struggle to decide whether it is sufficient to focus on facilitating individuals’ control over their data—as U.S. privacy law historically has strived to do—or whether the law should more directly restrict the use of data in certain ways or for certain purposes. This Article argues that the current privacy legislation struggle, and the types of innovative legislative provisions being proposed, can be better explained with the aid of unavoidability analysis

Published: January 2024

As primeiras infecções por SARS-CoV-2 foram identificadas no final de 2019, apresentando uma alta taxa de contaminação e representando grandes desafios aos sistemas de saúde globais. Esse estudo, do tipo transversal retrospectivo, foi realizado no Tocantins, com 113 sobreviventes à internação pela Covid-19 grave, submetidos à hospitalização entre abril e setembro de 2020. Buscou-se descrever os perfis sociodemográfico, de saúde e de estilo de vida pré-infecção. A maioria dos sobreviventes era do sexo masculino, de idade mediana igual a 56 anos, autodeclarados pardos, com média escolaridade e renda básica. A maioria não era tabagista ou etilista, mas relatou dificuldades para dormir e pouca ou nenhuma prática de atividades físicas. Considerando as características clínicas, 90,3% dos pacientes relataram a presença de comorbidades preexistentes, sendo a hipertensão arterial sistêmica (54,0%) e a dislipidemia (33,6%) as mais prevalentes. Devido às condições de saúde prévias, os medicamentos mais utilizados foram anti-hipertensivos (51,3%) e estatinas (16,8%). O perfil da população estudada sugere que a idade avançada, ser do sexo masculino, possuir baixa escolaridade e baixa renda, fazer uso de fumo e de álcool, a inatividade física e a presença de comorbidades podem ter sido fatores de suscetibilidade, relacionados à gravidade e ao tempo de internação pela Covid-19.
The application of gene-editing technologies in plants
Authors: Qin Yi'e 
Published: January 2024

In recent years, we have witnessed a spurt of progress in modern molecular biology, thus enabling the perfection of genome sequencing. As a result, research into gene function has gained popularity among scientists. Since gene editing has served as an essential tool for the exploration of plant gene function, the utilization of genome editing technology contributes most to the genetic upgrading and crop breeding through modification on plant genome. Typical cases where CRISPR/Cas system has been applied to model species including Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana tabacum and Oryza sativa to alleviate salinity stress and figure out the gene behind traits relative to their architecture and yield. The modified CRISPR/Cas9 system requires only simple cloning compared with the other two types of gene editing tools and the design of target sequences is easy, the construction of backbone vectors is simple, and the cost is relatively low. The CRISPR/Cas9 system, which was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, has transformed the molecular life sciences by enabling researchers to accurately modify the DNA of animals, plants, and microorganisms. This review thoroughly introduced gene editing technologies currently applied in plants, including map cloning, RNAi technology and targeted genome editing technology, containing ZFNs, TALEN, CRISPR/Cas9. The review revealed the difficulties and potential uses of genome editing technology in plants while concentrating on its theory and viability.

Published: January 2024

This study presents an innovative approach to enhancing thermal management in satellite applications by utilizing an embedded aluminum-ammonia heat pipes honeycomb sandwich panel (HPA-PNL) as a high-performance heat sink. The study focuses on developing and evaluating this advanced heat sink technology, addressing the challenges associated with assessing its performance and suitability for satellite use. The research explores the selection of materials and testing methodologies, highlighting the significance of overcoming existing limitations in the absence of standardized testing methods. The results of the thermal conductivity in Z-directions (KZ) indicated that the areas on top of the heat pipes show higher thermal conductivity than those on top of the honeycomb core. Also, the effect of background heat sources and different kinds of thermal interface material (TIM) on HPA-PNL performance is insignificant. The heat dissipation through the heat pipe is substantial, emphasizing the effective ability to dissipate heat for an HPA-PNL with many heat sources acting simultaneously. The outcomes of this study reveal promising testing methods for evaluating the KZ of the HPA-PNL, proposing the potential of the embedded aluminum-ammonia heat pipes honeycomb sandwich panel as a highly effective and efficient heat sink for satellite systems, thus contributing to the advancement of satellite technology.
