A Study to Determine the Link between Media Use and Drug Use among Students: A Case Study of Pakistan
Authors: Mujeeb-ur-Rehman Abro  , Akhlaque Hussain Larik  , Muhammad Ramzan  , Sahib Oad
Published: March 2024

In Pakistan, drug addiction is becoming more common as the country has 6.7 million drug users. A serious social issue facing modern Pakistani society is a rapid rise in drug addiction among students. Drug traffickers have stepped up the use of media to trigger demand for drugs in many countries including Pakistan, India, and Thailand. The media had a significant impact on their decision to start abusing drugs. Previous studies show media encourages teen substance use. So, this study is designed to determine the link between the use of media and drug use among students in two universities in Khairpur City. An exploratory research method was employed because society is traditional and no substantive research has been carried out on the issue in the country. A random sampling technique was adopted to collect data. The target population for this study was students of two Universities in Khairpur. An online close-ended questionnaire was adopted and distributed among students of two universities online. Python was employed to analyze the data. Results establish links between the use of media and drug use among the students. Moreover, students spending two hours on social media are exposed to information related to drugs, which puts them at increased risk of drug use.

Published: March 2024

Monografija predstavlja celovit in poglobljen pogled na brezdomstvo tako iz mednarodne perspektive kot glede na stanje v Sloveniji in opozarja na nujno bolj strateško in celovito obravnavo te problematike. Delo je osnovano na primarnem raziskovalnem delu, vključujoč raznolike raziskovalne pristope, in sicer tako analizo obstoječih administrativnih in drugih baz podatkov kot tudi primarnega kvalitativnega in kvantitativnega raziskovanja. Monografija tako naslavlja pomanjkanje podatkov ter hkrati strokovne in znanstvene razprave o brezdomstvu v Sloveniji, pri čemer poudarja potrebo po zbiranju podatkov na nacionalni ravni in poglobljenem razumevanju pojava na podlagi kompleksne opredelitve brezdomstva. Izpostavi različne izkušnje brezdomstva in stanovanjske izključenosti kot relevantna tveganja, s katerim se sooča sicer majhen, a ne zanemarljiv delež slovenske populacije. Hkrati monografija opozarja na pomembno vlogo, ki jo pri naslavljanju te problematike mora imeti država, kar sledi prevladujočim stališčem med populacijo.
David Cronenberg : William Burroughs, Ur-text
Authors: Becker Christophe
Published: March 2024

1983 marque un premier tournant dans la carrière du réalisateur David Cronenberg qui choisit de se tourner vers des adaptations littéraires plutôt que vers des scénarios originaux. Pourtant, et quel que soit le rapport que celui-ci entretient avec le matériau adapté (King, Ballard, etc.), la figure de William Burroughs reste une constante de son œuvre : un Ur-text. Cronenberg est, en effet, un réalisateur « burroughsien » (terme qu’il nous incombe de définir) dans l’entièreté de ses adaptations, y compris les plus personnelles, et l’influence de l’écrivain américain, dont il est un lecteur avisé, se retrouve jusque dans Consumed, roman du canadien publié en 2014. Nous analyserons ainsi le rapport paradoxal de Cronenberg à Burroughs, le cinéaste prenant en charge l’incidence du romancier autant dans son style que dans ses thématiques, tout en cherchant à s’éloigner de toute imitation et en allant à la rencontre d’une voix qui lui soit propre. Aussi 1991 est un second tournant dans la carrière du réalisateur qui, en adaptant Naked Lunch, roman jugé inadaptable de William Burroughs, décide de se confronter à son inévitable modèle tout en s’affranchissant, en grande partie, du texte-source ; ce faisant, Cronenberg se joue définitivement des règles de l’adaptation mais aussi, et peut-être surtout, de la transgression, et invente un nouveau genre de transposition qui en dit autant sur la figure de l’écrivain indépassable que sur celle de l’artiste qui interroge les mécanismes du processus créatif, de la contagion et de l’autorité.
Reading Humor in David Cronenberg's Crash
Authors: Petsota Myrto
Published: March 2024

David Cronenberg’s statement that “The film is funny, the book is not very funny” (1997) presents a captivating paradox regarding his adaptation of J. G. Ballard’s Crash. This statement reveals Cronenberg as both an insightful and superficial reader of Ballard. His film adaptation chooses to remain faithful to many aspects of the source material and retains the subtle undercurrents of humor found in the book, often overlooked and unrecognized by both the director and audiences, as well critics. Paradoxically, the film’s reception has further obscured this aspect of his work. The paper delineates the mechanics of humor in Crash, applying Freudian and Bergsonian theories linking humor to anxiety relief and behavioral correction. It spotlights Ballard’s absurd character speculations and detached narrative voice juxtaposing poetic violence, while Cronenberg conveys humor via affectless performances, anti-climactic sex, and self-referential jokes exposing cinematic artifice. Further analysis explores Ballard’s satire through the parody of melodramatic tableaux versus Cronenberg’s meta-cinematic parody of Hollywood and the road movie genre, noting that the adaptation compresses the novel’s sociopolitical critique but expands its intertextuality. The article challenges assumptions that humor must be light or affirming, arguing that the unsettling, avant-garde laughter in Crash (1973, 1996) compels reflection on technology’s impacts on identity. Ultimately, recognizing the dark comedy in Crash and its adaptation illuminates their lingering cultural commentary on dehumanization rather than celebrating the pathology of the characters.

Nonlinear Dynamic Behavior of Two Distinct Chaotic Systems
Authors: A Naser Hayder , Hamdan Ali Huda
Published: March 2024

The nonlinear dynamics of two chaotic systems, namely the optoelectronic feedback (OEFB) and the Lu-Chen electronic chaotic system, are simulated and implemented in this work using the Berkeley Madonna software. Control parameters and initial conditions have been adjusted to demonstrate transitions from one state to another. Upon modifying certain regulating elements, both systems exhibited excessive sensitivity to initial conditions and displayed dynamic nonlinear behavior. The OEFB system reveals a homoclinic condition with a Shilnikov attractor as the feedback intensity increases. In contrast, the Lu-Chen system exhibits sensitivity to parameters a, b, and c, accompanied by multiscroll behavior, as evidenced by time series, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and attractor analysis. These results offer potential applications, including data encoding, secure communications, and image processing. This research studied the properties of two different chaotic dynamical systems. These two chaotic systems are optoelectronic feedback and Chua systems. The results are analyzed, and it is found that the behavior of the Chua system changes in the time series, which in turn causes the attractor to change. The results showed a significant increase in the Chua system's bandwidth. Studying the different characteristics opens a broad scope for many applications, the most important of which is secure communications.

Authors: Karaman Murat
Published: March 2024

Demokratik sistemlerde medya, yasama, yürütme ve yargı erklerinin ardından dördüncü güç olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Başta internet olmak üzere iletişim teknolojilerinde yaşanan gelişmelerle birlikte medyanın toplumsal ve siyasal yaşamdaki rolü, dördüncü güç kavramsallaştırmasının ötesine geçmeye başlamış ve medya, toplumu ilgilendiren konularda algıları belirleyen en merkezi unsurlardan birisine dönüşmüştür. 2011 yılında başlayan iç savaş neticesinde Türkiye’ye göç eden ve geçici koruma statüsü verilen Suriyelilere ilişkin bakış açılarının şekillenmesinde de şüphesiz medyanın ifade edilen belirleyici rolü görülebilir. Medyanın Suriyelilere ilişkin olarak öne çıkardığı ve/veya görmezden geldiği haber başlıkları toplumdaki “Suriyeli” algısının oluşumunda önemli etkilere sahiptir. On yılı aşkın bir süredir Türkiye’de bulunan Suriyelilere ilişkin tartışmalar entegrasyon, dil, ekonomi gibi etmenler etrafından dönmekte, eğitim ve Suriyeli öğrenciler konusu da bu kapsamda tartışmaların odağında yer almaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma, Türk yazılı basınında “Suriyeli öğrenci” imajının ne şekilde sunulduğunu ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Suriyeli öğrenci imajının tespiti, 2018-2022 yılları arasında Türk yazılı basınında çıkan “Suriyeli öğrenci” temalı haberlerin içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmesine dayanmaktadır. Söz konusu analiz eğitim ve göç ilişkisini ele alan literatürdeki tartışmalara, medya ekseninde bir katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

AGAMA DAN DEMOKRASI DALAM PEMIKIRAN ABDUL KARIM SORUSH (Relevansi dalam Keberagaman dan Problematika di Abad 21)
Authors: Mulyadi Wahyu
Published: March 2024

Indonesia merupakan Negara yang mengadopsi sistim demokrasi, dan lebih populer dikenal dengan demokrasi pancasila. Yang di dalamnya terdapat berabagai keragaman suku bangsa dengan kekayaan sumber daya alam yang bervariasi. Suku bangsa dan agama terbesar di seluruh pelosok nusantara. Dan jika dilihat lebih teliti mulai dari Propinsi sampai Kabupaten/Kota, maka tidak ada satupun wilayah di Indonsia yang penduduknya homogen atau sama. Misalnya suku sama atau agama yang sama. Tetapi dengan keragaman suku bangsa dan agama yang berbeda, demokrasi mampu hadir untuk menyatukan diantara perbedan itu. Agama yang dipelopori sebagai suatu keyakinan terhadap Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, pada masing-masing diantara peredaan yang seharusnya menjadi ujung tombak untuk mengikat perbedaan, kadangkala diabaikan karena kita menatap bahwa demokrasi saja sudah cukup. Aplikasi sistem demokrasi tidak akan berkembang di Negara yang mengadopsi sistem demokrasi apabila tidak ada penyesuaian antara nalar (‘aql) dan wahyu (syar’)/demokrasi agama (Abdul Karim Soroush) dan tidak adanya integrasi dan iterkoneksi nash dan ‘ilm/“demokrasi agama” (M. Amin Abdullah). Arikel ini akan menyajikan pemikran Sorousuh tentang wacana agama dan demokrasi secara konseptual dan rasional. Serta membantah sebagian pengkritik bahwa agama dan demokrasi tidak tepat posisinya untuk jalan beriringan. Penulis melakukan studi literatur terhadap pemikiran Soroush dan relevansinya serta problematikanya pada fenomena kehidupan di Abad 21 sekarang ini.
Explanation of subjective well-being from school burnout or sensation seeking: which is the biggest predictor for religious students
Authors: Nugraha M. Fadli
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study was to prove the relationship between positive and negative emotions from subjective well being with school burnout and sensation seeking in religious students.. This is a survey or non-experimental study using a cross-sectional technique on a sample of religious students (n = 205) taken by convenience sampling. Data collection was taken with the classical arrangement of each class in the school after approval of research procedures and ethical codes from the research institute. Data were taken from the Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule scale, School Burnout Inventory and Brief Sensation-seeking. The results in this study explain that positive emotions have a negative relationship with school burnout but simultaneously a stronger positive relationship than negative emotions with school burnout. Then sensation seeking is positively related to positive emotions and it is also positively related to negative emotions, these results also provide recommendations for further research on whether sensation seeking can be a mediation to increase or decrease the relationship of two other variables such as the relationship between positive and negative variables because it supports positive and negative emotions.
COMPATIBILITY STUDY OF HYDROCARBON RESINS WITH RUBBER COMPOUNDS FOR TIRE APPLICATIONS
Authors: Yu Liwei , Colvin Howard , Rosmus Joseph J. , Calabrese Timothy E. , Benvenuti Louis A.
Published: March 2024

The addition of hydrocarbon resins to rubber compounds has a significant impact on their properties such as wet grip and rolling resistance. These performance characteristics have a strong correlation with the compatibility of the resin with the rubber matrix. Incompatible resins can cause excessive broadening of the damping curve, which results in poor rolling resistance. Compatibility, however, allows maximization of wet grip while minimizing the effect on rolling resistance. Compatibility is promoted by lower resin molecular weight and structural similarity to the polymers being blended. In this study, a method based on the Fox equation has been developed to quantitatively characterize the compatibility between resin and natural rubber (NR), a binary system. The dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), a tool new to the tire industry, is used to investigate the interaction between resin and two rubbers (i.e., a ternary system of NR–butadiene rubber [BR]–resin and solution polymerized styrene–butadiene rubber [SSBR]–butadiene rubber [BR]–resin), with a specific emphasis on resin partitioning among rubber blends. In addition, the DSR is applied to assess the Tg shift and tangent delta peak height, providing insight into the compatibility between rubbers and resin. A curve-fitting model was developed for the SSBR–BR–resin system to depict the relationship between these two parameters and the physical and chemical properties of resins, with the selection of resins featuring different degrees of aromaticity, Tg, and molecular weight. The findings indicated that higher Tg increased aromaticity and that lower molecular weight of the resin resulted in an elevated Tg shift in the blend, while lower molecular weight led to an increase in the tangent delta peak height. Our findings supply insight into the performance of rubber–resin blends and introduce a new screening tool for characterizing these blends in their green state.

Published: March 2024

Background: The resurgence of COVID-19 cases has led to the administration of repeated vaccine doses. Our study aims to investigate the association between the vaccination status and clinical presentation, amount of oxygen support needed and outcome among patients admitted in ICU for critical SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from 01 January 2021 to 30 August 2022. Patients admitted for severe/critical SARS-CoV-2 infection were divided into four groups according to their vaccination status: unvaccinated, receiving one dose, two doses and three doses or more. Data were compared according to the vaccination status. Results: Two hundred and thirty-seven (237) patients were included. Age > 60 years and most co-morbidities were more reported among vaccinated patients with 3 doses or more. Arterial oxygen partial pressure/fractional inspired oxygen ratio was correlated to the dose received (p<10.-3). Severe ARDS (p<10-3), mechanical ventilation (p=0.003) and mortality (p=0.04) were lower among patients receiving 3 doses or more. Conclusion: Vaccination with 3 doses or more was associated with less severe symptoms, biological disorders, CT scan lesions extent, critical forms and need for mechanical ventilation.
Awareness of the Impact of Urbanization on Land Use Change in Yenagoa Metropolis, Bayelsa State, Nigeria
Authors: O. S. Eludoyin , B. O. Komolafe , T. Hardy , B. E. Idisi
Published: March 2024

Urbanisation is imminent especially in a city with high expectation of expanding due to its function as an administrative area in which Yenagoa is not exempted. This study therefore examined the knowledge and awareness of the residents on the impacts of urbanisation on land use change in Yenagoa Metropolis. Five hundred and sixty copies of the questionnaire were administered to elicit information on the perception of residents on the impacts of urbanisation on other land use types. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for the data analysis in the study. Findings showed that the majority perceived that population increase, job opportunities and infrastructural developments are the major factors responsible for the development in Yenagoa while increases in the cost of living, poor standard of living, and increase in crime are the challenges of development in Yenagoa. However, 39% of respondents agreed that forest was the highest land cover in the past 20 years while 60.2% agreed that the built-up area was the highest at present land cover. They concluded that the public is adequately aware of the effects of urbanisation on other land use types and there were no designed ways of getting out of the problem. It is therefore recommended among others that a campaign against deforestation should be encouraged and sensitizing people on the effects of improper land use change should also be established and maintained.

Authors: Kaidan M. A. , Zakharova N. V.
Published: March 2024

Catatonia is a common syndrome among psychiatric patients, diagnosed in 20-43% of cases. Treatment methods for patients with catatonia are limited to the use of benzodiazepines and ECT in the acute period, and the problem of anti-relapse and maintenance therapy remains one of the most difficult. Currently, transcranial magnetic stimulation is a promising approach in the treatment of catatonia. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the possibility of using the method of transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain in patients with schizophrenia in remission with residual catatonic symptoms. Material and methods. 50 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and residual catatonic symptoms were examined by clinical and psychometric methods and divided into 2 groups (therapeutic and comparison groups) to prospectively evaluate the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation for 4 weeks. Results. Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the DLPFC on the left in patients with residual catatonia TMS turned out to be effective and safe a tendency was revealed to reduce psychomotor impairments that made up the clinical picture before the start of stimulation, along with an improvement in basic cognitive functions. Conclusions. Augmentation of standard psychopharmacotherapy protocols with TMS is effective for the correction of psychomotor symptoms.

Introduction: Periodontal diseases are generally divided into two groups: Gingivitis and periodontitis. Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases that are characterized by increased blood sugar levels (due to defects in insulin production or insulin resistance or both). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low-power laser in non-surgical periodontal treatments on pocket depth and HbA1c in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: Relevant articles were reviewed through searching Embase, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus in the 10-years from 2015 to 2021. Cochrane collaboration tool was used to evaluate the quality of articles. Results: From 160 studies, 120 articles were selected after removing duplicate articles and finally 6 studies were reviewed. The test group, which was under diode laser radiation, showed a greater decrease in pocket depth during the three and six-month follow-up. Diode laser irradiation with SRP during 3 and 6 months led to more changes in HbA1C levels. Conclusion: Low level lasers can be used well in non-surgical periodontal treatment in type 2 diabetic patients.
Blockchain technology as a paradigm shift in banking security: Theoretical and practical insights
Authors: Opeyemi Abayomi Odejide
Published: March 2024

This paper explores the theoretical underpinnings of blockchain technology and its practical applications in enhancing banking security. The financial landscape is experiencing a seismic shift as disruptive technologies like blockchain emerge. Blockchain, with its core tenets of decentralization, immutability, and transparency, offers a transformative approach to banking security. This paper delves into the theoretical foundations of blockchain and explores its practical applications in bolstering bank security. Theoretical Underpinnings at its core, blockchain is a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). Imagine a digital record of transactions, not held by a single entity, but replicated and synchronized across a vast network of computers. This distributed nature eliminates the need for a central authority, fostering trust and transparency within the system. Cryptographic hashing adds another layer of security. Each transaction on the blockchain is cryptographically hashed, generating a unique fingerprint. This fingerprint is linked to the previous transaction's hash, creating an immutable chain of blocks. Any attempt to tamper with data would invalidate the entire chain, ensuring the integrity of every transaction. Consensus mechanisms play a vital role in ensuring network agreement. These mechanisms, like Proof of Work or Proof of Stake ensure all participants on the network agree on the validity of transactions and the current state of the ledger. Practical Applications in Banking Security, Traditional banking systems rely on centralized ledgers, susceptible to fraud and manipulation. Blockchain disrupts this paradigm by offering, Enhanced Transaction Security, by eliminating intermediaries and using cryptography, blockchain significantly reduces the risk of fraud and errors in financial transactions. The immutable nature of the ledger ensures transactions cannot be reversed or altered once recorded. Streamlined Regulatory Compliance, regulatory compliance is a constant challenge for banks. Blockchain simplifies the process by providing an auditable and transparent record of all transactions

High environmental quality label proposal
Authors: BELHAOUARI Benkhedda
Published: March 2024

Our idea aims to evolve agricultural models and face the growing challenge of resilience of agricultural systems. We offer a high environmental quality label that encourages farmers in developing countries to optimize inputs. It will encourage them to reduce the consumption of pesticides, fertilizers and irrigation water. At present, many decision support tools are widely used in modern agriculture, notably soil tensiometers to control irrigation, the nitrogen balance in the management of fertilization and the I-PHY indicator of pesticide use in the field of plant protection. The use of these three tools is inexpensive and technically affordable by farmers. We offer a framework based on these decision-making tools and agricultural techniques which will allow farmers to have a High Environmental Quality Label.
