Authors: Dahlhoff Annette , Winkels Bernd , Morales Cruz Cynthia , Raupach Michael 
Published: November 2022

Centric tensile tests often exhibit high standard deviations due to various factors, hence various test setups have been developed in the past. Based on the specifications in ASTM C307-18, the experimental setup was further developed to reduce the standard deviation resulting from the test setup itself and thus to obtain reliable, reproducible test results. Furthermore, it has been investigated, whether the test setup is suitable for materials of low strength. In the further developed experimental setup three mineral-based materials with tensile strengths in the range of 0.4 to 5.9 MPa were examined and compared to ASTM C307-18. For this purpose, the optical 3D-measurement system ARAMIS® and a positioning adapter designed for the specimen geometry were used to validate and verify the developed experimental setup and to ensure a consistent position of the specimen. For the low strength mineral-based materials tensile strength tests could be implemented and recommendations for the test parameters test speed, preload and required number of specimens could be developed.

Objective: Bariatric surgery is considered the most effective treatment for morbid obesity, and is increasingly performed in Thailand and globally. We aimed to establish the outcomes of bariatric surgery performed at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok.
Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients who underwent bariatric surgery between January 2012 and June 2016.
Results: The records of the first 100 patients who underwent bariatric surgery were reviewed, comprising 58 patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and 42 patients who underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). The median patient age, preoperative body weight, and BMI were 36 years old, 129 kg, and 46.3 kg/m2. All the procedures were performed by a laparoscopic approach. The median operative times for LSG and LRYGB were 156 [85-435] and 265 [180-435] minutes. The median hospital stay was 3 days [3-14]. The major complication rate was 4%. There was no mortality in the 30-day postoperative period. The mean %excess weight loss (%EWL) of LSG was 56.8 ± 19.8%, 59.9 ± 21.7%, and 55.1 ± 21.3%, at 1, 2, and 3 years after surgery. The mean %EWL of LRYGB was 67 ± 18.3%, 66.2 ± 21.4%, and 63.6 ± 19.9%, at 1, 2, and 3 years after surgery. In the patients with type-II diabetes mellitus, 67% had complete diabetic remission at 1 year. The median FBS dropped from 127 to 99 mg/dL (p < 0.001) and HbA1c from 6.6% to 5.5% (p < 0.001). The remission rates of hypertension and dyslipidemia were 58% and 73%.
Conclusion: The bariatric procedures are safe with a low complication rate. The procedures also provide good outcomes in postoperative weight loss and comorbidity resolution.

Objective: The present study aimed to describe the characteristics of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens and occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (oPEP) in Siriraj Hospital.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive, retrospective cohort study was performed of healthcare workers (HCWs) who had experienced occupational injury in Siriraj Hospital in 2015. Data were extracted from the hospital database.
Results: In total, 389 injury episodes were described; of which 293 (75.3%) involved female staff, and 112 (28.8%) involved nurses. The highest number of accidents (112, 28.8%) occurred in the operation room. Needlestick injury (210, 54%) was the most common injury. Overall, 94 (24.1%) HCWs received oPEP; 67 (71.2%) events carried a risk of HIV acquisition, and in 27 (28.7%) cases, the patients decided to take oPEP. Common oPEP regimens were TDF/XTC/LPV/r (33, 35.1%) and TDF/XTC/RPV (32, 34%). Nearly half of the HCWs who received an LPV/r-based oPEP regimen had gastrointestinal intolerance and switched to second-line regimens. Among those who received oPEP, 52 (77.6%) returned at 1 month and 26 (38.8%) returned at 3 months after exposure for a serology test. There was no seroconversion in this cohort.
Conclusion: Occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens is a common and increasing risk of infection among HCWs. oPEP with effective antiretroviral drugs within 72 hours after exposure is the main strategy for HIV prevention. The selection of an oPEP regimen with less toxic pills should be considered for efficacy, safety, and adherence. Interventions such as a tracking system or message reminders should be implemented to improve the follow-up rate among HCWs.
Supporting the Sustainable Development Journey of Bangladesh with Folk Values in Primary Education
Authors: Tasnim Saria , Hossain Abul , Marinova Dora 
Published: November 2022

Sustainability and sustainable development are now centre-stage in economic, environmental, social and educational activities around the world. However, these are not only complex concepts, but the perspective and understanding vary in different places, time, geographical and economic conditions. What is of particular relevance to Bangladesh, is the importance of educating for sustainability while emphasising values education and responses to the current realities that have resulted from factors, such as economic development and climate change. This is particularly the case in primary education which builds the foundation for preparing children for dealing with future challenges. This paper argues that sustainability attitudes can be communicated by embedding folk values in primary education as a way to communicating complex concepts and supporting the sustainable development journey of Bangladesh which as a country has to respond to issues related to population growth, poverty, inequality and climate change. It investigates the place of values and wisdom from the country’s rich folklore as a tool in formal and non-formal primary education in Bangladesh to encourage a holistic approach to sustainability which looks at the needs of people within the boundaries of the natural environment.

Menaces of Ideal Motherhood – A Brief Study of 21st Century Motherhood in The Lowland & The House of Hidden Mothers
Authors: Mahato Subhranil , Saha Apurba 
Published: November 2022

Motherhood is not a decision taken out of choice. Many a time, women are compelled to become mothers due to the pressure from families, peers and society. It becomes an entrapment, where they are imposed with certain ideas and goals to fulfil like children and a ‘happy’ marital communication. The loss of one’s own identity and accepting an ‘ideal’ one, which is congenial for the traditional setup, motherhood is thus, questioned. However, motherhood—or parenthood, for that matter—is not a proverbial Band-Aid. Not every woman is carved for motherhood, even though then entire world may tell her otherwise. Being biologically capable of giving birth does not mean every woman would want to go through with it. The twenty-first century fiction are paving a path for an obvious change in the image of mother. Authors have resettled themselves from ideal portrayals of enduring, self-effacing women, and toward conflicted female characters, those are in active search of their identity. In this regard, the paper will study Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Lowland and Meera Syal’s The House of Hidden Mothers, which depict the diversity of women, breaking stereotypes and the rejection of subordination, rather than limiting them to an ideal.

Freedom or Suffering: Post-Partition Memories and Fractured Identity Reflections in Jhumpa Lahiri’s Select Short-Fictions
Authors: Mandal Sudeshna 
Published: November 2022

The liberation of India from British domination in 1947 was the most significant historical event in the South Asian history. Despite the fact that freedom promised only liberty, equality, and fraternity, the only result was widespread violence, which eventually led to British-India being divided into two sovereign dominions (India and Pakistan). This Partition resulted in the loss of houses, properties, friends, relatives, and, most importantly, identity. The purpose of this paper is to look at how Jhumpa Lahiri addresses diasporic concerns, unpleasant partition experiences, and fractured cultural identity in two of her short- stories, “When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine” and “A Real Durwan”, from her collection, Interpreter of Maladies. Lahiri, an Indian immigrant from the United Kingdom, is well aware of the difficulties that immigrants experience in their host country. She has brilliantly depicted the painful consequences of partition in the works described above, especially the bloodshed that occurs during the civil war between East and West Pakistan. The goal of this article is to examine how Lahiri uses these two short stories to emphasize the deceiving features of freedom.

State of Psychological well-being of students during Lockdown due to Covid-19 Pandemic: view from some selected parts of India
Authors: Rahman Mustafizur , De Sukanya 
Published: November 2022

Well-being refers to the state of being relaxed, healthy or joyful. It is not only about physical health but also concerns a great deal with psychological and social aspects. This study attempts to find out the relation between Covid-19 and state of psychological well-being of students and whether the lockdown had a positive or negative impact on them. This study is administrated by survey method and Google Form is used for the comprehension of the impact. A total of 123 students from 22 states of India have participated in this study. The study finds that the pandemic has left the students anxious and worried about their future. The lockdown due to Covid-19 pandemic is making them apprehensive and stressed; hence, maintaining mental well-being is also a concern for them. While the entire world is under the fear of falling ill, for the students in India the worry about their jobs and career is greater than that of falling physically ill. The results also indicate that at the initial stage, the students were happy about the lockdown and enjoying their free time at homes, but eventually, they started getting frustrated. They also started spending most of their time on screens, being highly active on social media, mobile, computer, and TV screen which has some side-effects on students’ psychology.

Determining the Understanding of Task-Based Language Teaching among the English Teachers of NU Affiliated Colleges in Bangladesh
Authors: Munira Serajum , Sikder Liton Baron 
Published: November 2022

Though the Non-credit English courses are treated mandatory for all undergraduate students at National University, the students do not appear to take them seriously because the total marks do not contribute to their final grade. Previous studies suggest that Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) motivates the students to language acquisition. Therefore, this study attempted to determine the factors of implementing the TBLT in non-major English courses. In TBLT, the teacher engages the learners with a task-based instruction to make them act as if they were using the language in real life. Therefore, TBLT has become more common and recommended as a way forward in ELT. The objectives were to measure the level of understanding of task of TBLT, perceived usefulness of implementing TBLT, and perceived challenges of TBLT. The research involves surveys and fact-finding investigations as certain hypotheses are presupposed. In this study, the random sampling procedure has been maintained to capture all segments of the population such as urban and rural, and divisional city, district level city and upazila level city. A questionnaire was designed to examine Bangladeshi EFL teachers’ understanding and beliefs of task-based language teaching with reference to classroom practice. In the survey, 79 male and 38 female EFL teachers participated. The scores of the males in understanding of tasks in TBLT (M=3.32) than that of the females (M=3.20). While in perceiving the benefits of implementing TBLT, females scored higher (M=4.34) comparing to the males (M=4.25). Both males and females had same scores in terms of perceiving the challenges of implementing TBLT in EFL programs. The results indicate that the level of understanding is lower. As a result, the level of perceived challenges of implementing TBLT is higher. Therefore, in conclusion, this study suggests to emphasize on arranging effective training and workshops for the EFL teachers so that they can understand the task in TBLT.

Authors: Kumar Hemant , Singh Sumer , Yadav Amit , Kumar Mahesh 
Published: November 2022

Effectiveness of diverse eco-safe strategies against mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) infesting Indian mustard was evaluated for two years with 11 treatments viz., Beauveria bassiana @ 108 CS ml-1, neem seed kernel extract (NSKE) @ 5 per cent, neem oil @ 5 per cent, B. bassiana @ 108 CS ml-1 after clipping of infested twigs (CIT), nimbecidine @ 0.03 per cent, NSKE @ 5 per cent after CIT, neem oil @ 5 per cent after CIT, nimbecidine @ 0.03 per cent after CIT, clipping of infested twigs alone, dimethoate 30 EC @ 625 ml ha-1 and control. The pooled data revealed that dimethoate contributed maximum efficacy in reducing L. erysimi population over control (89.74 %), followed by B. bassiana after CIT (83.16 %) and nimbecidine @ 0.03 per cent after CIT (80.51%). Seed yield (1716 kg ha-1) was maximum in dimethoate , followed by treatments B. bassiana @ 108 CS ml-1 after CIT (1636.5 kg ha-1) and nimbecidine @ 0.03 per cent after CIT (1608 kg ha-1), whereas minimum (1211 kg ha-1) in the control. The gross income (Rs 64350 ha-1) and net return (Rs 18017 ha-1) were highest in dimethoate, followed by B. bassiana @ 108 CS ml-1 after CIT with gross income of Rs 61388 ha-1 and net return of Rs 13865 ha-1. The incremental cost-benefit ratio was also maximum in dimethoate (1: 19.58), followed by B. bassiana, nimbecidine and NSKE treatments (1: 6.33 to 7.27). Results suggest that B. bassiana @ 108 CS ml-1 after CIT and nimbecidine @ 0.03 per cent after CIT can be used as a non- chemical control option as a substitute to chemical control.

Vida animal: a impunidade gerando crueldades
Authors: Hoth Alanis Fonseca , Ribeiro Ewerthon Macedo , Freitas Janayny Hayumy de 
Published: November 2022

Hodierno artigo, perante afago e preocupação com a vida animal, propendeu-se a discutir, enquanto objetivo geral, os fatores que contribuem, pontualmente, para a crueldade em desfavor dos animais. Deste, emergiu os específicos, consistindo em contextualizar brevemente a evolução histórica no que tange as conquistas legais dos animais, produzir uma análise técnica de natureza material e processual do direito animal brasileiro e investigar o que motiva e no que resulta a crueldade e o desamparo animal, em seio legislacional, processual, administrativo e social. Este artigo desenvolveu levantamento bibliográfico através da leitura e análise de autores que debatem sobre o tema. Para a obtenção dos presentes dados foram consultados livros, revistas, artigos e periódicos publicados. Em síntese, os resultados, provenientes da lei, da aplicação processual, os de cunho administrativo e social, mostraram-se um tanto quanto suficientes, a ponto de elucidar as razões pelas quais este cenário se estagnara e se tornara “normal”, pois, o que, em suma, ocorre na prática, é de tais cruéis condutas não serem rebatidas da forma que fazem jus. O que, notoriamente, somente alerta a urgência com que este cenário merece mudar, considerando que, pelo fato de os animais configurarem seres sencientes, assim dizendo, possuem sensações, sensibilidade, sofrimento físico e mental, condutas criminosas, que torturam, machucam, deixam sequelas (por vezes, irremediáveis), não podem simplesmente serem menosprezadas, ou ainda tratadas - legalmente, processualmente, administrativamente e socialmente - com tamanho desinteresse e desleixo.
