Authors: Jat Neha Singh , Hasan Sumaiya , Singh Dheerendra , Buddhe Vivek Paul 
Published: January 2022

To study the keratometry of Indian pediatric eyes, the effect of speculum on keratometry reading, the concordance of hand held and automated keratometry and the effect of unilateral and bilateral cataract on keratometry and IOL power calculation. This was conducted as a cross- sectional observational study on 101 eyes of children in the age range of 41 post-conceptional weeks to 144 months. All cooperative patients were subject to automated keratometry followed by keratometry using hand held keratometer with and without speculum. Hand held keratometer with and without speculum documented significantly increased average K as well as astigmatism and decreased calculated IOL power when compared to automated keratometry (p&#60;0.01). No significant difference in K readings was observed between unilateral and bilateral cataracts and among males and females (p&#62;0.05). As the age increased, astigmatism increased significantly (R=0.07; p=0.007) whereas no such correlation was observed for keratometry (p&#62;0.05). Hand held keratometry offers the convenience of obtaining accurate keratometry, astigmatism and IOL power measurements in children.

Authors: SURUCU Serkan , AYDIN Mahmud 
Published: January 2022

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the outcomes of individuals who had acute mallet fracture treatment early versus those who underwent delayed surgical treatment.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study in which all patients were skeletally mature and underwent closed extension pinning surgery for Doyle Type 4B mallet fractures. Crawford criteria were used to evaluate extension lag, loss of DIP joint flexion, and pain outcomes following surgery. All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically.
Results: There were 16 females and 32 males with total of 48 patients in this study. The mean age at the time of surgery was 31.50 ± 9.75 years (range, 19-60 years). A total of 30 patients with early surgical treatment of mallet fractures and 18 patients with delayed surgical therapy were included in the study. There was no significant difference in the active flexion of the DIPJ, Crawford criteria (p=0.085, p=0.907, respectively), except for complication rates (p=0.045).
Conclusions: When compared to the early closed extension-block pinning technique, the delayed closed extension-block pinning technique yielded a satisfactory functional outcome in the treatment of mallet fractures.

Authors: Jun Byoungho 
Published: January 2022

The quick move to non-face-to-face education caused by the sudden attack of the COVID-19 led to many problems such as faculty’s burden and stress from the planning and designing of suitable on-line classes, technology system problems for both students and faculty and students’ complaints of the low quality of education. Especially Project-based learning (PBL) has more challenges because it is learners-centred and is usually done in face-to-face environment. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the learner’s satisfaction of non-face-to-face on-line PBL classes in terms of interaction and learner’s factors during the attack of COVID-19 pandemic. The data Was collected through questionnaires, from 175 undergraduate students at S women’s university who took the on-line PBL classes. SEM (Structural Equation Model) was used for empirical test using SmartPLS. The results of the empirical analysis reveal that interaction and media utilization self-efficacy are likely to predict learner’s satisfaction.

It seems obvious that that educational activity establishes conditions for the development of a person capable of combining ancestral traditions and values while maintaining their distinctive ethnoculture. This paper investigates how integrating ethnocultural material into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) university courses contributes to nation-building and students’ identity development while at the same time exerting impact on ESP curriculum advancement. The empirical part of the research involved 104 first-year engineering students learning English as a foreign language for specific purposes. The experiment demonstrated that exposing students to regional material and enabling them to communicate in English about their region empowers them in their national and regional identity, while contributing to nation-building goals of university education. The findings of the study reveal that integrating ethnocultural material into ESP university courses positively impacts both students’ motivation and their national identity development.

Authors: Hanafi Fahrudin , Rahmadewi Dinda Putri , Setiawan Fajar 
Published: January 2022

Land cover changes based on cellular automata for surface temperature in Semarang Regency has increased significantly due to the continuous rise in its population. Therefore, this study aims to identify, analyze and predict multitemporal land cover changes and surface temperature distribution in 2028. Data on the land cover map were obtained from Landsat 7 and 8 based on supervised classification, while Land Surface Temperature (LST) was calculated from its thermal bands. The collected data were analyzed for accuracy through observation, while Cellular Automata - Markov Chain was used to predict the associated changes in 2028. The result showed that there are 4 land cover maps with 5-year intervals from 2003 to 2018 at an accuracy of more than 85%. Furthermore, the existing land covers were dominated by forest with decreasing trend, while the built-up area continuously increased. The existing Land surface temperature range from 20.6°C to 36.6°C, at an average of 28.2°C and a yearly increase of 0.07°C. The temperature changes are positively correlated with the occurrence of land conversion. Land cover predictions for 2028 show similar forest dominance, with a 23,4% built-up area at a surface temperature of 28.9°C.

Authors: Majumder Suranjan 
Published: January 2022

Micro-level spatial analysis of the different phenomenon duly associated with human development and also with the wellbeing of a nation. The study is a heart-core attempt to examine the inter-block regional disparity and development by constructing a multi-dimensional approach-based index. The study used thirty-four sub-dimensional variables under the five dimensions, including health, education, economy, socio-demography, and transport. The article used the data of the district statistical handbook of 2013 and census data of 2011. The empirical results of the study confirm the existence of huge inter-regional disparity on multi-dimensional developmental aspects, which drastically hampers the all-round growth and socio-economic development of Jalpaiguri Administrative Dvision (JAD) of West Bengal. The blocks of Khairabari, Darjeeling-Pulbazar, Rngli-rangit, Mirik, Kurseong, Kalimpong I & II are found to be high regional imbalances in the development of education, health, employment, and economy. The study also helps to identify the most backward blocks. It confirms the huge inter-block/district disparities in West Bengal. The study argued that the low developed and high disparities blocks require special attention from policymakers in order to the improvement of overall socio-economic development of the study area.

Assessment of Coral Reef Life-Form Classification Scheme using Multiresolution Images on Parang Island, Indonesia
Authors: Lazuardi Wahyu , Wicaksono Pramaditya 
Published: January 2022

Spatial information on the varying composition of coral reefs is beneficial for the management and preservation of natural resources in coastal areas. Its availability is inseparable from environmental management goals; however, it can also be used as a means of supporting tourism activities and predicting the emergence of certain living species. A satellite image is one of the effective and efficient data sources that provide spatial information on coral reef variations. This study aimed to evaluate the classification scheme of coral reef life-form using images with different spatial resolutions on Parang Island, Karimunjawa Islands, Central Java. These images were from PlanetScope (3m), PlanetScope resampling (6m), and Sentinel-2A MSI (10m), whose spatial resolutions functioned as the base for building the 3m, 6m, and 10m classification schemes producing 12, 11, and 9 classes, respectively. As for the classification method, it integrated both object-based and pixel-based approaches. The results showed that the highest overall accuracy (60%) was obtained using Sentinel-2A MSI image (10m), followed by PlanetScope (3m) with 48% accuracy, and PlanetScope resampling (6m) with 40% accuracy. This finding indicates that multiresolution images can be used to produce complex coral reef life-form maps with different levels of information details.

Computing the split domination number of grid graphs
Authors: Girish V. R. , Usha P. 
Published: January 2022

<p>A set <em>D</em> - <em>V</em> is a dominating set of <em>G</em> if every vertex in <em>V - D</em> is adjacent to some vertex in <em>D</em>. The dominating number γ(<em>G</em>) of <em>G</em> is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set <em>D</em>. A dominating set <em>D</em> of a graph <em>G</em> = (<em>V;E</em>) is a split dominating set if the induced graph (<em>V</em> - <em>D</em>) is disconnected. The split domination number γ<em><sub>s</sub></em>(<em>G</em>) is the minimum cardinality of a split domination set. In this paper we have introduced a new method to obtain the split domination number of grid graphs by partitioning the vertex set in terms of star graphs and also we have<br />obtained the exact values of γ<em>s</em>(<em>G<sub>m;n</sub></em>); <em>m</em> ≤ <em>n</em>; <em>m,n</em> ≤ 24:</p>

Published: January 2022

Le plan France Relance lancé en septembre 2020 prévoit des mesures forestières sur 2 ans, avec un accent sur la reconstitution des peuplements forestiers sinistrés, affaiblis par les sécheresses ou attaqués par les scolytes. Cependant la crise forestière liée au changement climatique est partie pour durer et les efforts sur les connaissances à acquérir pour aider la forêt à s’adapter au changement climatique devront être poursuivis sur le long terme. Nous identifions quatre enjeux principaux, fortement liés à la préservation de la biodiversité : 1) S’assurer des conditions de succès d’établissement des forêts plantées. 2) Tirer parti des dynamiques naturelles et de la biodiversité pour limiter les risques. 3) Raisonner territorialement, impliquer davantage les acteurs. 4) Connecter les enjeux nationaux aux enjeux économiques mondiaux.
