Abstract: t Single jersey unfinished cotton weft knitted (loop formation) fabrics tend to undergo a certain dimensional changes due to changeable yarn count (Ne) and variable stitch length on physical properties such as Shrinkage, Spirality, Bursting Strength, Pilling, GSM, (Gram per square meter). This study is founded on unfinished knit cloth where yarn counts recycled remained 24Ne, 28Ne, 30Ne for S/J. Single jersey unfinished cotton fabrics were produced with different count and with stitch length where it is found that for constant count, increase of the Stitch Length the GSM is decreased & for constant stitch length, increase of the count GSM is decreased. Used for constant stitch length, increase of the count the Bursting strength is decreased. Designed for constant count, by increase of stitch length the length wise shrinkage% is decreased & the fabric length is increased. Used for constant stitch length, by increase of the count the length wise shrinkage % is decreased & the fabric length is increased. Aimed at constant count, by increase of the stitch length the width wise shrinkage% is improved & the cloth thickness is reduced. Intended for constant stitch length, by increase of the count the width wise shrinkage% is improved & the cloth width is reduced. Used aimed at constant count, by increase of the stitch length the spirality% is increased. Aimed at constant stitch length, by increase of the count the spirality % is increased

Abstract: For decades, the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers have been successfully used in academia and industry for several types of plants. This is due to its versatility and sufficient efficiency in linear or linear plants and in such circumstances in nonlinear plants. A variety of PID controller gains tuning methods have been suggested in the Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) literature over the last decades, several of them off-line. However,in those situations the plant is exposed to persistent parametric shifts or external disturbances, online gain tuning is a suitable alternative. This is the case for the UAV quadrotor, where the parameters linked to weight are being applied to the mass adjustment according to the system to which it is attached. In practice, some time is spent on tuning the PID gains in the UAV attitude. Once the best range of gains has been made, the UAV is able to start off smoothly. However, as the UAV changes are subject to winds, their output deteriorates as the fixed set of gains is no longer true under the current conditions. In order to solve this problem, an online PID gains tuning algorithm should be introduced. This paper proposes an auto-tune PID controller based on Deep Neural Networks (DNN). The DNN plays the function of automatically calculating the required range of PID gains to achieve device stability. The DNN changes the online benefits of the controller to obtain a smaller location monitoring malfunction. Simulation results are provided taking into account the underimplemented 6 DOF (degrees of freedom) Quadrotor UAV. Real-time tests on Quadrotor testbench are conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

Abstract: In the present context of rapid change which is occurring either due to the natural or artificial phenomenon, tracking environmental changes with the aid of remote sensing applications has been an important tool for multidisciplinary sectors. One of these applications is the construction of land use and land cover maps through the image classification process. The Google Earth Engine is becoming a crucial tool in remote sensing data analysis as it provides cloud-based platform with huge amount of multiple source satellite data and excellent computation services. The present study aims to know the extent of land cover in Tokha Municipality of Kathmandu of the year 2001, 2009 & 2019 along with the dynamics between the year and the rate of change. In this study, Landsat image of Tokha Municipality of the year 2001, 2009 &2019 were used for LULC supervised classification in Google Earth Engine platform. Five LULC classes were decided and classified using random forest classification, and the output map was obtained with an overall accuracy of 94.8%, 88.40% & 86.95% for the year 2000, 2009 & 2109 respectively. It was found that most of the landcover was dominated by agricultural land and very few were covered by waterbody. From the analysis section, it was clear that major LULC change between 2000 and 2009 was seen in otherland with the total decrease of 354.84 ha. whereas settlement area of 61.5 ha. significantly increased between 2009 and 2019. For the whole study period annual rate of change was found to be in increasing for the categories settlement (1.558%) and forest (1.072%) and decreasing for Agriculture (0.846, waterbody (0.001%) and otherland (1.786%).

Abstract: Social media use in local government has gained prominence in the last few years worldwide, but little research has been done concerning users’ needs and experiences. In addressing this gap, this paper aims at understanding social media use experiences in local government from the individual users in the metropolitan assembly’s viewpoint. As local government agencies implement social media tools at all levels, we tend to explore the motivations that entice individuals to use these services and how information sharing can moderate the intention to use and actual use. We built a social media utilization model based on the literature review and extended the Delone and Mcleans framework by adding other constructs existing in other studies as the theoretical framework. Using a quantitative approach to the study, structured online questions were distributed. The results of a survey of 360 respondents of Accra Metropolitan Assembly social media users in Ghana indicate that information quality, service quality, system quality, and Trust remain the crucial determinants of intention to use and actual usage. Our study spotlights the importance of understanding the dynamics by which users utilize social media platforms.

Abstract: The exponential growth of social media has fundamentally reshaped the world education system. Many researchers note that social media would facilitate the transition of students from high school to college by providing them with information and social support and a way to recognize and communicate with other students. Social networking is a consumer-generated tool that helps users to exchange information using the Internet with friends and colleagues. Sharing ensures that it is easy to comment on, easy to send, there are no costs associated with accessing the media, and last but not least, it is always available. In social media practices, users primarily belong to a new generation of customers who in the sense of social media, can be referred to as digital natives. Therefore, this study aimed to identify Social media behavior among College Students in a Transnational Environment. The survey method was used to collect data to satisfy this goal. The sample was selected from individuals at Wuhan University who were studying in China. The questionnaires were distributed to 250 students from international and 250 students of Chinese origin. In the total sample of 425 students, 216 were the foreign student sample and 209 students from each group were the Chinese student sample, with a good recovery rate of 86.4% and 83.6%. Several prior studies analyzing different factors influencing the use of social media support the results of the current report. Social media is most concerned with privacy and convenience, while international and domestic students, on the other hand, largely disregard copyright and legal issues. Years of migration, local language knowledge, level of study, years of migration, and the use of experience affect the level of concern. Among the variables, the level of all applicable factors of concern is clearly influenced by the use of experience. The college students' social media behavior and social media use of transnational communities and Chinese students and their identities are determined by their own individualities and the social-economic factors of their own and host cultures, based on these differences and similarities.

Abstract: Teachers’ transfer is something common, but it should comply with all public service regulations for the aim of maintaining the teachers’ performance as well as students’ learning achievement. This study aimed to explore teachers’ perspectives on transfer of teachers from secondary to primary schools in Tanzania. The study employed a qualitative approach whereby semi-structured interview was applied as an instrument of data collection from ten transferred teachers. The results showed that the transfer led to disruption to some teachers like leaving homes and families. Also, some teachers were demoralized whereby their teaching morale and commitments declined. The study concludes that teachers’ satisfaction is one but an important factor for the development of teaching professionals.

Abstract: Rhinoplasty is an expanding topic in the field of plastic and cosmetic surgery. Interest is ongoing and developments have been rapid. Although several studies concentrated on Asian and non-Asian (American, Hispanic, Middle East etc) nose separately, but to our knowledge there is no study comparing the rhinoplasty surgical techniques used in Asian and non-Asian populations especially Americans (including Hispanic). It is a well-recognized fact that there is a distinctive quality to Asian rhinoplasty when compared with rhinoplasty for patients from other regions. For Asian patients, especially from East and Southeast Asia, the relatively smaller sized noses have made simple augmentation of the nose using alloplastic implant stand in for the term “Rhinoplasty.” However Asian patients like higher noses and small nose tip. The purpose of this study was to analyze and categorize rhinoplasty in Asians and non-Asians, and then determine common surgical techniques that have general application to this particular population of patients.

Abstract: : It is imperative for a country to make relevant and business friendly legislation that would enable SMEs growth in the country. They contribute greatly in jobs creation and GDP. SMEs in Zambia employ 50 percent of the working class, similar to countries like Indonesia, Tanzania and Kenya. Over 90 percent of SMEs operate in the informal sector and this makes it difficult for the government to support the sub sector efficiently. So, SMEs contribution to the country’s development is not very clear. Because, majority of SMEs operate in the informal sector, attracting-funding from micro finance institutions (MFIs) is a challenge and this makes (SME) sector weak. Entrepreneurs Financial Centre (EFC) was used as a case study. This is a specialized micro finance institution that provides SMEs lending. The period considered in this research was from 2016-2018. Whereas, SME loans constitute about 60 percent of EFC’s loan portfolio, the loans given out are small value ranging from USD133 with a maximum of USD 46,667. The process of acquiring these loans is cumbersome and those without security may stand no chance. This does not give borrowing appetite and thus, such a trend would keep the sector underdeveloped. Findings revealed that with an organized sector platform, SMEs contribute immensely in the development of the country. Primary and secondary data were collected through using questionnaires, interviews and observation.

Abstract: Sustainable access to clean water and basic sanitation is a crucial part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Most sub-Saharan Africa countries are affected by wastewater pollution dilemma and poor effluent treatment systems. In Rwanda, the high population growth rate, urbanization, and industrialization has exacerbated wastewater generation beyond the bearing capacity of the available treatment systems. The wastewater discharge from diverse sectors during the last three decades become an important pollution source and is deteriorating the freshwater system (lakes, rivers, springs, groundwater, etc.), soil, fauna, and flora. Moreover, there is no centralized sewage system in Rwanda, only the existing decentralized wastewater treatment plants are inadequate to ensure basic sanitation. All these have placed the country on potential sewage catastrophe. Based on our knowledge, we know of no comparable study combining the wastewater pollution and the treatment systems failures in SubSaharan Africa. Consequently, this review highlights the wastewater pollution scenario and weaknesses of the treatment systems in Rwanda. Moreover, it proposes possible recommendations such as the improvement in operation and maintenance of treatment facilities, development of innovative and best affordable technology for Rwandan terrain, promoting public participation by improving joint efforts from different stakeholders to find their own way to protect water, and revolutionize wastewater quality standards by updating our own standard system for monitoring wastewater quality without compromising key health issues in Rwanda. Conclusively, this review will serve as all-inclusive model document on wastewater pollution and treatment systems statuses in developing countries, especially in Rwanda

Abstract: :The worst issue which Pakistan is facing today is ‘Street Begging’. The Nation is suffering from the crucial situations of Poverty which has forced hundreds of people to commit suicide, forced women to sell-out their Children and forced young’s to leave their Homes and start begging. According to latest survey 74% of our people living under poverty line earning less than 4000/Rs per month which is very difficult for a person to live in so little amount, even one cannot imagine to survive. But a Street Beggar is earning more than a Person doing hard slog.Street begging disturbs Public life because usually this beggar on the Roads, Streets & Bazaar’s chasing people for petite amount. To gain more attention and sympathizes they generally irritate public with their disgraceful mannerism. They emotionally black mail the genders by telling their gloomy stories & by showing their disabilities. Begging is supposed to be an easy source of earning Money. This is the reason that most of the physically fit young persons are usually seen begging on the Streets. This profession now has become an Industry (Mafia) where young men, Women & Children are mostly trained, recruit and relocated. These Beggars and specifically Children come from the Cities of Kohat, Rahim Yaar Khan, Multan, & Rawalpindi.According to a survey Beggar Children earn 200 or 250 rupees per day and handover entire money to the Mafia (Which works for this profession) and that Mafia keep a big chunk of earning and leave minimum amount with to these Children to take home. This Mafia is taking more benefits of the Street Begging.

Abstract: : In this paper, carrying out the friction stir welding experiment of 6005A aluminum alloy, to explore the influence of welding speed on welding quality. By Studying and observing the macrostructure, it was found that the higher welding speed extracted with lower burs and flash effect. Observing, microscopic view, the grain (molecular structures) formed a closer bond which was representing stronger and mature bonding. The melting stage generates higher spontaneous movement and more frequent inter-bonding. Which was representing the speed unit (500 mm/min) was more efficient and relevant to work on. Micro hardness was analyzed considerably as well. The crystal grain was smaller in stir zone (welding nugget) due to the heat but elongation tensile strength was quite higher in terms of higher welding speed. In the meantime, the middle stage of the micro hardness test graph showed quite higher hardens considering other parameters of welding speed.

Abstract: Risk assessment is one of the most critical methodologies used in the safety engineering system in oil and gas construction projects that require high levels of precaution in construction activities such as pilling, materials fabrication, and structure installation. The main purpose of risk assessment is to provide full protection to the four main elements that are crucial to the oil industry: People, Environment, Assets and Reputation (PEAR). Any failure or defect in the risk assessment implementation can potentially lead to catastrophes not only during the construction stage but also in the advanced stages such as operation and productions. Historically, in oil and gas construction projects many oil spills and blow outs occurred due to lack of efficient risk assessment in the construction phase, resulting in financial loss and human capitals. The aim of this research is to enhance the implementation of safety engineering systems in the oil and gas industry construction projects through risk assessment application in the YEMEN. The main outcomes of this research study expose a gap in the understanding and the practices of risk assessment methods between management and workers, especially with regard to human factors effects on safety performance.

Abstract: Inland Water Transportation has a vital role in Bangladesh's transportation of both goods and passengers. It is roughly 24,000 km from Bangladesh Rivers, lakes and canals, which collectively cover about 7 percent of its surface. A dynamic waterway network that links much of the city to its large size in the monsoon season. There is only 5968 km of rivers, lakes and canals and channels from 24,000 km away. Mechanized vessels are navigable throughout the monsoon season, which shrinks to 3,865 km. In the dry season, the IWT industry accounts for over 50 percent of cargo traffic and one-fourth of rail traffic (BIWTA, 17 apr, 2014). This paper discusses the possibilities and challenges of waterway transportation in Bangladesh's coastal area. The data have been collected from different journals, related books, publications, maritime institutions etc. Associated goals are: (i) to evaluate the region's potential to improve inland waterway transportation; ii) to assess the contribution of inland waterway transport to the transportation of passengers and freight; iii) to evaluate the effect of Inland waterway transportation on the economic improvement of Bangladesh and iii) to measure the outcome of inland waterway transportation on socio-economic progress (Owoputi Adetose Emmanuel, June 2018). In Bangladesh, however, there are more than 700 rivers, but the IWT sharing mode of transport is fragile compared to many other countries. In the Netherlands, the modal IWT share is 42 percent, France is 15 percent, Hungary is 15 percent, Germany is 14 percent, Belgium is 13 percent and the USA is 15 percent whereas in Bangladesh, only 7% (IWX, 2017). The core purpose of this study is to find out the necessity of Inland Water Transportation in terms of keeping continued human’s daily activities as well as it is tried to show that there are considerable opportunities to meet up domestic transportation demand by waterways but that are not utilized. So, it should be made up the better policy to encourage private-public participation (PPP) in the development of inland transportation sector in Bangladesh were suggested in this study
