In the recent years, there are number of problems related to counterfeit in drug industry, banking industry, insurance sector and range of products including fake university degrees, documents etc. There are number of products, which can be easily duplicated by simple processes and the product seems original that nobody doubts. Even the counterfeit of currency is also a main problem in world’s economy. So there are number of anti-counterfeiting technologies including electronic combat mechanism are available in the market to prevent these antisocial activities. Printing ink is very useful as per the security purpose to write down confidential documents or sign. Fluorescent material-based inks can be difficult to counterfeit and relatively easier to handle. This ink has diverse properties in different materials so that it can be a very good option to frame an anticounterfeiting technique. This article explains about the brief overview of anticounterfeiting technology and different methods of it. It also explains the applications of fluorescent based security ink to prevent the counterfeiting of the products and documents. This can be a reliable source for the security purpose to make the confidential documents secure. The review article also describes the concept of luminescence and its applicability for further development in various sectors.

ReWaste4.0 is an innovative and cooperative K-Project in the period 2017–2021. Through ReWaste4.0 the transformation of the non-hazardous mixed municipal and commercial waste treatment industry towards a circular economy has started by investigating and applying the new approaches of the Industry 4.0. Vision of the ReWaste4.0 is, among others, the development of treatment plants for non-hazardous waste into a “Smart Waste Factory” in which a digital communication and interconnection between material quality and machine as well as plant performance is reached. After four years of research and development, various results have been gained and the present review article summarizes, links and discuss the outputs (especially from peer-reviewed papers) of seven sub-projects, in total, within the K-project and discusses the main findings and their relevance and importance for further development of the waste treatment sector. Results are allocated into three areas, namely: contaminants in mixed waste and technical possibilities for their reduction as well as removal; secondary raw and energy materials in mixed waste and digitalization in waste characterization and treatment processes for mixed waste. The research conducted in ReWaste4.0 will be continued in ReWaste F for further development towards a particle-, sensor- and data-based circular economy in the period 2021–2025.

In this short review, I have tried to sketch an overview of historical development of political anthropology and its recent trends. I was enthused to prepare this review article as there does not exist any of such simplified introduction of one of the prominent sub-fields in cultural anthropology for the Nepalis readers, in particular. I believe this particular sub-field has to offer much to understand and explain the recent trends and current turmoil of the political transition in the country. Political anthropologists than any other could better explain how the politics is socially and culturally embedded and intertwined, therefore, separation of the two – politics from social and cultural processes – is not only impossible but methodologically wrong, too.

Universe created with the fundamental laws of science. Nature is lazy and needs to form with the least possible to be perfect. A natural pattern, such as pinecones, sunflowers, pineapples, and cacti, has a double spiral structure. Once we look at these plants' centers, we will see the seeds line up in spirals shape. The number of spirals whirling in each direction will give us the Fibonacci numbers. We can give more examples representing these natural patterns; however, one example is unique and remarkable. The similarities between spiral galaxies- Milky Way and hurricanes. Are they similar in every property or just in shape and rotational movements? What are the similarities between them? This short review article will try to find these questions' answers by reviewing some literature articles. The first part of this article gave some information about hurricanes and galaxies. The second of this article focused on the comparison between hurricanes and galaxies. Finally, we will conclude the article with our remarks.

With the development of fluorescent technology, the application area of fluorescent material is expanding, which includes the fields of traffic, national defence, architecture, detection, decoration etc. In the field of printing, whether in the value of utility or view and admire, fluorescent adds tremendous energies. However, a majority of fluorescent materials used nowadays contain radioelement, which will do harm to human health. This paper considers the needs of fluorescent map printing, according to the defects of traditional fluorescent material such as low brightness, short duration time, strong radioactivity, limitation to spot color printing etc. It improves the capability of long fluorescent lag material and makes red, blue, green and yellow long fluorescent lag materials. Meanwhile, it tests the influence of ink thickness, illumination time and granule size etc. on irradiance capability. The thicker the ink is, the longer of the lag time will be. The bigger the granule size is, the lag time will be. It also tests its radioactivity extent, which is in the safety range and reaches the standard of environmental protection. According to the special requirement of map printing, this paper brings forward the technique scheme of the application of long fluorescent lag ink in map printing,which realizes the color fluorescent map printing.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine selection factors among multi-ethnic customers in Malaysian Islamic banking industry. The information is important to reinforce the argument that ethnicity could become significant factor in determining customer behaviour. Design/methodology/approach This study uses quantitative approach by using questionnaire (Likert scale) to measure respondents ranking of 25 selection factors. A total of 272 valid responses were generated from 450 questionnaires distributed, with 60.4% response rate. The methods of analysis used are descriptive analysis, factor analysis and Kruskal–Wallis test. Findings The findings revealed five selection factors (religious and ethical, services and convenience, service quality and benefit, external and operational and charges), with religious and ethical factor as the most important criteria for Malay customers. As for Chinese and Indian customers, they chose services and convenience factor. Originality/value This study is conducted to gain new insights on the perception of multi-ethnic banking customers in Malaysia towards Islamic banks and how cultural differences might affect their decisions. The findings are important for further development of the Islamic banking industry in Malaysia considering ethnicity has a major impact on the society. The acknowledgement of similarities and differences between the ethnic groups could strengthen the relationship with the Islamic banking customers. Furthermore, incorporation of ethnicity factor in bank’s marketing strategies is important to secure competitive advantage particularly in dual banking system such as in Malaysia.

Toward the end of a diary entry for Sunday, June 14, 1925, the writer reminds herself to “answer Gerald Brenan, & read the Genji; for tomorrow I make a second £20 from Vogue.” For a short review of a long book, £20 was worth a bit of excitement: advertisements in the London press that summer indicate that the yearly wages of a cook or housemaid ranged from £28 to £45. For someone in search of a Bloomsbury flat of one's own, £20 could keep you in modest, furnished comfort on Gordon Square for ten weeks.
