Abstract
Improved observational constraints on the orbital parameters of the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1 were recently published in Killestein et al. In the process, errors were corrected in previous orbital ephemerides, which have been used in searches for continuous gravitational waves from Sco X-1 using data from the Advanced LIGO detectors. We present the results of a reanalysis of LIGO detector data from the third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo using a model-based cross-correlation search. The corrected region of parameter space, which was not covered by previous searches, was about 1/3 as large as the region searched in the original O3 analysis, reducing the required computing time. We have confirmed that no detectable signal is present over a range of gravitational-wave frequencies from 25 to 1600 Hz, analogous to the null result of Abbott et al. Our search sensitivity is comparable to that of Abbott et al., who set upper limits corresponding, between 100 and 200 Hz, to an amplitude h
0 of about 10−25 when marginalized isotropically over the unknown inclination angle of the neutron star’s rotation axis, or less than 4 × 10−26 assuming the optimal orientation.
Fertility patterns and differential in India
Authors: Brahma Jasmine , Basumatary Konita 
Published: June 2023

Background: The study attempts to study fertility Patterns and Differential in India considering the background characteristics including different Castes, educational levels, wealth index, mortality rates, religious groups, and also to determine factors affecting them. For the study, the data used are from the five rounds of the National Family Health Survey such as NFHS-1 (1992-93), NFHS-2 (1998-99), NFHS-3 (2005-06), NFHS-4 (2015-16) and NFHS-5 (2019-21). The data are collected from the twenty-five states in which the factors such as total fertility rate, residence, education, religion, caste, and wealth index were taken from background characteristics of NFHS-2 to NFHS-5 whereas the missing data in between and for NFHS-1 (1992-93) are obtained through interpolation.
Method: The data is balanced panel data, the panel data regression model is used to determine the factors that influence the fertility pattern and differential using Eviews 12 software.
Results: The study found fertility differential among caste, religion, wealth index, mortality index, educational level, and residence. And the fertility differential is found to be affected by contraceptive use, birth order, age at first marriage, birth interval, unmet need for family planning, and sex preference among the couples.
Conclusion: The empirical results for the panel data indicate that TFR widely varied within different states of India due to the effect of various factors. And it is extremely necessary to conduct such analysis on district-level data.
La notion de ’jajmānī ’. Qualification abusive ou principe d’intégration ?
Authors: Reiniche Marie-Louise 
Published: June 2023

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the relevance of the term ’jajmānī’ which is widely used in anthropological literature to define traditional socio-economical relationships in rural India. Does the term ’jajmānī serve only to express the religious connotations of these relations? Or, may this word be used as a scientific concept which provides the organizing principle of these relationships taken as a system? Throughout the discussions we have kept in mind the pertinent distinctions made by D. F. Pocock in a paper published in 1962 in C. I. S. No VI.A description of the division of rice on the threshing-floor in a present-day Tamilnadu village places jajmānī in the larger setting of the traditional land tenures and the redistribution of the crop at harvest-time among the different parties entitled to a share.The ritual functions of the different non-brahmin service castes of the village are examined. They may be distinguished in two groups which correspond respectively to two different Brahmin roles: that of the brahmin purohit (household priest who acts to preserve the status of the person) and that of the brahmin pujari (temple priest who acts to maintain the order of the universe.) In the first group may be placed, for example, the barber and the laundryman; in the second, the artisans such as the carpenters and blacksmiths and the village watchmen, all of whom are necessary for the yearly agricultural rounds. In each case the hereditary technical know-how of the members of the service castes implies an ability to fulfill their ritual functions.In short, agricultural production was (and remains to a certain degree) organized on the model of a ritual or sacrificial activity both needing a patron-yajamāna together with a body of specialists. Their relationship is asymetrical. The specialist who performs each task is qualified to assume the dangerous, if not debasing, consequences inevitably involved in any act. The brahmin represents an ideal of non-action by contrast with the service castes which are completely involved in action. The members of the dominant castes are the jajmans par excellence. On one hand they collaborate with the brahmins to maintain the universal order which is in practice indistinguishable from the local order and from their own interest. On the other hand they employ the services of the inferior castes for productive purposes. In effect the jajmānī system resumes the traditional divisions of Hindu society.
Nicolas Jacques Desvaulx (1745-1823), véritable auteur des « Mœurs, institutions et cérémonies des peuples de l’Inde » de l’Abbé Dubois
Authors: Murr Sylvia 
Published: June 2023

The discovery in the India Office Library in 1971 of a manuscrit entitled Mœurs et Coutumes des Indiens with a dedication signed Desvaulx to the Minister of the Navy and the Colonies under Louis XVI raised a doubt as to the originality of the famous work by the Abbé Dubois.Careful comparison shows a remarkable number of similarities between the Desvaulx manuscript and the first version of the Mœurs by the Abbé Dubois; the concordance of titles, numbers and order of chapters is such as to rule out any purely chance resemblance.It has been possible to identify Nicolas Jacques Desvaulx (ou des Vaulx), Baron d’Oinville, né à Chandernagor en 1745 et officier d’artillerie. His signature on letters in the colonial file "Sieur Desvaulx", which has been preserved in the Archives Nationales, appears identical with that on the dedication of the India Office Library manuscript. In addition, chronological references in these letters suggest that the text was prepared in 1776 at which time the Abbé Dubois was still a schoolboy.
A study of pattern and assessment of life quality index in patients of nonvenereal dermatoses of external genitalia at a tertiary care center
Authors: Vellaisamy Seethalakshmi Ganga , Muthukumarasamy Vivek , Gopalan Kannan 
Published: June 2023

Background:
Nonvenereal dermatoses (NVD) are the spectrum of disorders involving the genitalia with varied etiology and having a considerable influence on the health-related quality of life (QOL), but it remains under evaluated.

Objective:
To study the prevalence, pattern, and the effect of nonvenereal genital dermatoses on the QOL of patients with the help of dermatological life quality index (DLQI) questionnaire.

Materials and Methods:
This was a cross-sectional study conducted for a period of 1 year. A total of 132 patients were included in the study. QOL was assessed by using the DLQI questionnaire.

Results:
The prevalence was found to be 10.2/1000 cases in our study. Genital scabies (34.8%) was the common dermatoses followed by vitiligo (18.9%) and lichen simplex chronicus (8.3%). These dermatoses were having moderate effect on the DLQI of majority (52.3%) of the patients and its having very large effect on DLQI in 20.5% of patients. Mean DLQI scores were high among the age group of 41–70 years, male sex and in patients who had <1 month duration of the dermatoses. Regarding individual dermatoses, infestation (scabies) was having higher mean DLQI scores and it was statistically significant.

Conclusion:
This study depicts that NVD are having impact on the QOL and its mainly attributed to the site of dermatoses and also due to the symptoms. Proper counseling about the nature of these disorders and prompt treatment were important, thereby improving the QOL of such patients.

Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT.
Malaria remains a major public health challenge that needs attention, especially when the world is aiming at malaria elimination in the near future. It is crucial to understand the underlying genetic factors and epigenetics involved in malaria susceptibility and the dynamics of host immune responses that affect disease outcomes and relapses in Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale. Studies in newborn and adult twins can help in understanding the comparative roles of environmental and genetic factors on disease pathogenesis and outcome. These studies can help in providing insights into the factors responsible for malaria susceptibility, clinical presentation, responsiveness toward existing as well as candidate antimalarials, and even identification of novel therapeutic targets. The results and outcomes from twin studies can be further applied to the entire population. In the present manuscript, we analyze the available literature on malaria and human twins and discuss the significance and benefits of twin studies to help in better understanding malaria.

Authors: Yıldız Seçil , Erkan Nefise Semra 
Published: June 2023

The present quantitative study was conducted to investigate preschool teachers' perceptions of gender in the classroom. Study group consisted of 120 preschool teachers working in official pre-school institutions affiliated to Kırşehir Provincial Directorate of National Education in Turkey. Participant selection was performed by using simple sampling. Preschool Teachers' Perceptions of Gender in the Classroom Scale was used for data collection. For statistical analyses, Kruskal-Wallis Test, one-way ANOVA test and independent T test were performed. The findings showed a statistically significant difference between the mean overall gender statement scores and the mean gender role trait scores of preschool teachers and the said difference is influenced by the professional seniority of the teachers. It was also found that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean gender role trait scores between the teachers who participated in a gender-oriented educational activity and those who did not. However, there was no statistically significant difference between mean general gender statement, mean gender role trait, mean gender-specific behavioral responses, mean gender roles in tales and stories, and mean total scores regarding the number of children in their classes.

The research written is a research that raises the title of intercultural communication interaction between Javanese and Batak tribes in Medan City. This study has the aim of knowing the communication that exists between the Javanese and the Batak tribes in the city of Medan. The stages of intercultural communication, which will occur to the Javanese in the city of Medan and contain efforts to overcome the culture shock that will occur. The method that will be used in writing this research is qualitative by reading the literature on previous research that discusses culture shock. The results of this study will show that the Javanese will experience a moderate culture shock and have no significant effect on intercultural communication. This is because the Javanese quickly adapt and adjust to the interaction patterns that exist in the city of Medan. Based on previous research literature, he claimed to feel comfortable and safe living in the city of Medan compared to his own hometown, which made communication between one tribe and another run well and did not cause misunderstandings and harm others. Especially in this study, namely the Javanese tribe in the city of Medan. The influence of self-motivation and encouragement of interaction also affects the communication process that exists between the Javanese and the Batak tribes in the city of Medan. Friendships that exist in the campus environment, but not all Javanese want to make friends and interact with everyone, but Javanese people interact with all ethnic groups on campus, especially in the city of Medan.

Self-Esteem, Study Habits and Academic Performance among University Students
Authors: Kasyoka Antony 
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study intended to investigate the relationship between self-esteem and study habits on the academic performance of students in universities.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings of the study revealed the existence of a contextual and methodological gap relating to self- esteem and study habits on the academic performance of university students. Preliminary empirical review found that self-esteem does not account for low or high academic performance, as most students reported enjoying a good level of self-esteem, regardless of their grades. However, the same is not true of study habits, which are tied to academic performance as shown by our results and prior research. Hence better performance is expected of students if their study techniques are to improve.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Learning and Cognitive Evaluation theories may be used to anchor future studies on self-esteem and study habits on the academic performance of university students. In terms of self-esteem, improvement thereof is not an urgent matter as nearly all students claim a good level of self-esteem, hence it would be appropriate to consider other variables for future research.

Methodology: Simple rearing (both favourable and unfavourable rearing season) and dusting method.
Findings: Azadirachtin is more effective among other active biochemical counterparts.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: As traditionally available disinfectants are of high cost and hazardous to its user as well to the environment, this type study is unique in its application and investigation. The Allicin and Curcumin were found to be similar in action in comparison to Azadirachtin particularly in unfavourable rearing season. However, Azadirachtin was found to be more effective in both favourable and unfavourable rearing season in comparison to its other counterparts.
PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF RELATIVES OF PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS IN NEURO-PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS IN SOUTH-WEST NIGERIA
Authors:   , Titilope Maitanmi Bukola 
Published: June 2023

Background: The psychological well-being of relatives of patients diagnosed with psychotic disorder poses a great challenge and distress to them because of the sacrifices that need to be made physically, financially, spiritually, socially, mentally, and psychologically. It takes a toll on them as they would want to balance caring for their relatives and also see to their health but unfortunately, the experience depletes their own quality of life. Hence, the study assessed the stressors militating against the psychological well-being of relatives of patients diagnosed with psychotic disorder admitted to Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital Yaba, Lagos State. Methodology: A descriptive survey design was used and 74 relatives were recruited using complete enumeration. Adapted standardized instruments of Ryff’s Psychological Well-being and F- COPES scale were used in collecting data from the respondents. The instrument’s internal consistency was tested using Cronbach’s alpha which yielded 0.78. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used. Descriptive statistics such as percentages, tables, and figures were used to present the result and inferential statistics was at a 0.05 level of significance. Chi-Square was used to analyze the hypothesis Results: Findings revealed that 29(39.2) had low, 32(43.2) had Normal and 13(17.6) had high levels of psychological well-being same was measured on a 40-point reference scale. The result of the hypothesis showed that the socio-demographic variables of the respondents did not significantly affect their psychological well-being. However, there were other militating stressors that contributed to their low, normal, or high psychological well-being. Conclusion: The study has recognized that, if measures are put in place by nurses and another multi-disciplinary team to tackle the stressors of these relatives’ psychological well-being, their quality of life will be improved physically and mentally. Recommendations: Awareness in the form of intervention be done for relatives of patients diagnosed with psychotic disorder.
