Unveiling Hidden Traumas: Examining Freudian Concepts in Mahesh Dattani’s Dance Like a Man
Authors:   ICERT, Pennsylvania, USA, Bhagoji Manisha D
Published: April 2024

Trauma is one of the strongest natural phenomena that nature has added to human lives. It is assumed that trauma shatters human beings in a way that recollecting the pieces of their personality makes it too difficult to stand up and lead a normal life for those who experience this phenomenon. In literature, the writers tried their hands at recreating the events that caused human lives to experience trauma. However, whether the text conveys the exact effect of the feeling or not that is another study but several novels including graphic novels like Maus, are referred to as good examples of this kind of writing in literature. According to psychologists, trauma is caused not only by events or the horrors that one faces in life but their memories about the events leading to the particular feelings. Like William Wordsworth’s definition of poetry “Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of the powerful feeling; it takes its origin from emotion recollected in Tranquility” – William Wordsworth. The unpleasant feelings of past events get collected in memories, reflecting situationally or throughout life creating trauma for a lifetime. It could also be considered the part of Neurosis that makes the experiences turn out to be Traumatic and difficult to manage. Exploring the literature review Mahesh Dattani’s Dance Like a Man is one of the Indian plays that discussed several issues including culture, gender discrimination, a sense of loss of identity, and much more similar. However, this paper focuses on the different angles of the play based on Freud’s theory on Trauma; the traumatic experiences that the family goes through on an individual level without the knowledge of each other’s pain. The concept of a typical family is exhibited in the play yet the couple leads their lives in the name of Love, Care, Support, and Ambition, which seem to be partially fake and hollow.

In this paper we used statistical methods to understand the genetic information of DNA considered as a statistical system. The alphabet of a DNA sequence is defined by the four nucleotides: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. The order of nucleotides along the DNA sequences encodes the genetic information. We have analyzed three Cryptosporidium DNA sequences: one DNA sequence isolated and analyzed in our laboratory and two DNA reference sequences from the public database GenBank. Each DNA sequence is considered as a statistical system and is represented by a random variable and an associate probability distribution. The Shannon entropy, Renyi entropy, Onicescu informational energy and square deviation from uniform distribution are used in order to measure the degree of randomness for the three statistical systems. The similarity and difference between the three DNA sequences of the two Cryptosporidium species (Cryptosporidium hominis and Cryptosporidium parvum) were assessed by calculating the statistical distance between the probability distributions associated with each pair of DNA sequences. Each of the three DNA sequences pairs with one of the other two sequences and forms three pairs of sequences. Using the associated probability distributions, the statistical distance between them can be calculated. Bhattacharyya distance measures similarity degree between the two probability distributions. The Kullback-Leiber and the resistor-average distances measure the difference between the two distributions.

The majority of total radiation dose received by the world population comes from background natural radiation. The distinguishing features of this radiation include relatively persistent exposure of a population at a specific place. The amount of background radiation that is generally present in the environment is greatly influenced by the inhalation of radon (Rn), thoron (Tn), and their offspring. In light of this, measurement of dose rate exposure due to granite flooring has been attempted in Bangalore. Fifteen different granite samples, used as flooring for construction in buildings, were examined for a period of three years. Solid state nuclear track detector-based dosimeters, can technique, and radiation survey meters have been used. All the experimental observations were made according to the standard protocols provided by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India. The arithmetic mean dose rate varied between 1.39 ± 0.06 and 2.09 ± 0.10 mSv y1. The values of dose rates were found to be higher in granite and lower in coarse-grained dolerite. All 15 types of granite samples have undergone a minimum of 30 measurements. The greater activity concentration of radionuclides found in granite samples leads to higher dose rates.

The media is an essential component of any democratic election. This is illustrated in a way that keeps voters informed about the policies and agendas of different political parties and contenders. Until voters are aware of each candidate's position on every issue, they will not be able to completely exercise their right to vote. Conversely, the media can aid voters in their self-education by providing a comparative analysis of important issues. Numerous individuals have viewed the media's above-mentioned job as idealistic and unachievable, asserting that regular reporting on events is rife with "fake news" and falls short of the criteria of superior journalism. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the coded data, and information was generated and presented in the form of graphs, tables, and charts exhibiting frequencies and percentages. The study suggests that false news has existed since the internet's prehistory and is prevalent today. It highlights the negative impact of false news on media organizations, leading to credibility loss and costly investigations. Despite ethical journalism rules, media organizations face threats of closure or censorship. The general population is a significant source of fake news. False news in Uganda leads to various consequences, such as media organization closure, damage to brand reputation, and mistrust of news industries. It can also cause underdevelopment, increased demonstrations, hatred, and even innocent deaths. Despite adhering to ethical journalism rules, media organizations face threats of closure or censorship. False news in media organizations can lead to credibility loss, costly investigations, and threats of closure or censorship, while the general population is a significant source, causing incidents like demonstrations, hatred, deaths, and celebrity reputation damage.

Authors: Domingo Joely Chrystele Gabay , Moyao-Donato Leah
Published: April 2024

The objectives of this study were to look into the situation of DNA analysis in the country in terms of its application in solving and preventing crimes and to identify the problems encountered and best practices of PNP DNA Laboratory Division. After knowing the situation, problems encountered, and best practices the researcher proposed an action plan in order to try and contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of the division. 

This study used qualitative-case study approach through thematic analysis. Two (2) participants were chosen as participants from PNP- Regional Forensic Unit COR. The study utilized the interview as the data gathering tool. The interview was done through face-to-face meeting. The main themes that came about in this study about the problems they encountered are: backlogs of cases; lack of reagent for testing; insufficient equipment and facilities in DNA laboratories; and unfamiliar recognition/evaluation and collection of field investigators to DNA evidence. The main themes that came about in this study about their best practices are: case prioritization; peer tutoring and supervision; diligent care for the equipment; and open communication to the stakeholders. 

Based on the findings of the study, the researcher arrived at the following conclusions: 1. The DNA Analysis in PNP-Regional Forensic Unit-Cordillera cannot facilitate the testing and analysis of DNA specimen submitted as evidence due to lack of equipment. 2. Due to the increasing demands for scientific-based investigation using DNA profiles the need for additional DNA analysts and supplemental reagents increases. Because of the surge of demands, problems in the supply of reagents used for testing and analysis of DNA is prevalent. This insufficient supply of reagents leads to burdensome piling of cases. 3. The case prioritization is because of the overzealous evidence collection during the conduct of crime scene processing, in which giving priority to the processing of specimens of DNA reference standards for cases that are expected to have a definitive result may reduce the wastage of reagents and resources which will greatly contribute to the purpose for which DNA testing is intended.

Published: April 2024

_

The paper presents a novel approach of cooperative multiagent reinforcement learning (CMARL) combined with A* search to address ship multicabin equipment layout considering pipe route, aiming to minimize pipe cost while considering practical requirements. The formulation is established through equipment simplification and grid marking, and A* search is utilized to value the pipe route. By designing equipment states, the equipment layout in each cabin is solved using a CMARL approach that involves three actions. Subsequently, comparative experiments were conducted on an engine room case by CMARL against genetic algorithm and single multiagent reinforcement learning methods under the condition of coupling with A* search. The parameter values for these methods were sampled using Latin Hypercube. The findings demonstrate that CMARL has superior combination properties.

How music can change evaluations of social situations: Exploring the influence of emotional states and perceived group characteristics
Authors: Kuch Mia , Wöllner Clemens
Published: April 2024

In everyday life, music is increasingly being listened to through headphones and mobile devices in public situations. While a large body of research has demonstrated that music may influence the emotional states of listeners and affect multimodal perceptions i.e. in films, less is known about the music’s impact on environments and the interpretation of social situations. We conducted an online experiment to investigate the influence of music on evaluations, considering individuals’ emotional states (emotion congruence) and group perception. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions (music with positive valence and high arousal, music with negative valence and low arousal, and no music) while viewing images of two different social group types that varied in perceived group characteristics (group members being familiar or unfamiliar with each other). Images were rated on four bipolar scales measuring affective quality and cognitive evaluation of social situations. Results show that individuals who listened to negative music provided lower valence ratings and also judgded social environments lower in terms of pleasantness and cheerfulness (affective) than individuals in the other experimental conditions. In contrast, ratings of crowdedness and familiarity (cognitive) did not differ between experimental conditions. The effect of music on affective evaluations was shaped by social group types, such that participants were more influenced by music when viewing intimacy groups (e.g., friends) than when viewing transitory groups (e.g., strangers). Overall, our results support the assumption of mood congruency for affective evaluations and emphasize the need to consider social information when studying the influence of music on the perception of environments.

У статті розкрито та зміст поняття «STEM-компетентність» та особливості її формування у майбутніх вчителів початкових класів. Встановлено, що STEM-компетентність вчителя початкових класів – це динамічна система знань, умінь, навичок, особистісних індивідуально-психологічних особливостей та якостей, необхідних для ефективного впровадження STEM-освіти в освітній процес початкової школи. Виокремлено компоненти STEM-компетентності майбутніх вчителів початкових класів: когнітивний (знаннєвий), діяльнісний, особистісно-мотиваційний та рефлексивний.
Trastorno Afectivo Estacional: “Winter Blues” y su Relación con la Glándula Pineal

Published: April 2024

El Trastorno Afectivo Estacional (TAE), conocido como "Winter blues" o depresión estacional, se caracteriza por episodios depresivos durante los meses fríos, vinculado a bajos niveles de melatonina. Su prevalencia varía del 0.1% al 9.7%, siendo más común en mujeres y con factores de riesgo como historia familiar, latitudes altas y edad adulta temprana. A nivel biológico, los desequilibrios en el transportador estriatal de serotonina y la glándula pineal se asocian con síntomas melancólicos y somáticos, sugiriendo la melatonina como un potencial antidepresivo endógeno. La patogenia implica desequilibrios hormonales, alteraciones en la captación retiniana de luz, factores genéticos y disfunciones neurotransmisoras.

El diagnóstico del TAE es desafiante, con síntomas iniciales sutiles compartidos con el trastorno depresivo mayor. Se utiliza el Cuestionario de Evaluación del Patrón Estacional (SPAQ), análisis de vitamina D y la exclusión de otros trastornos, junto con criterios del DSM-V para aumentar la certeza. El tratamiento incluye cambios en el estilo de vida, terapia cognitivo-conductual y terapia de luz, todos respaldados por evidencia. El tratamiento con fármacos, como los Inhibidores Selectivos de la Recaptura de Serotonina (ISRS) también se considera efectivo. La bupropión se presenta como alternativa, especialmente a manera de preventivo. Aunque se investigan nuevas terapias y medicamentos, como la melatonina de liberación prolongada y la agomelatina, se requiere más investigación para determinar su eficacia y recomendación formal en el tratamiento del TAE.

Tekanan pekerjaan dan beban studi yang berat membuat banyak orang yang tinggal di kawasan urban, seperti di Kota Kupang, menginginkan ruang kerja dan belajar yang lebih informal dan rekreatif. Ruang kerja konvensional, seperti di kantor, sekolah, atau rumah, dinilai kurang memadai. Kedai kopi dan restoran kerap menjadi pilihan tempat untuk belajar dan bekerja. Fenomena perilaku ini memicu kebutuhan akan ruang kerja yang lebih bersifat informal, rekreatif, dan fleksibel. Perancangan fasilitas study and co-working space di Kota Kupang dilakukan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut. Karena fasilitas ini dirancang untuk menanggapi fenomena perilaku yang relatif baru, pendekatan yang paling tepat adalah arsitektur perilaku. Perancangan ini menerapkan beberapa konsep arsitektur perilaku dalam prosesnya, seperti ruang personal, teritorialitas, seting perilaku, dan persepsi lingkungan. Konsep tersebut diterapkan di semua skala desain, mulai dari rencana tapak hingga desain interior ruangan. Dengan implementasi yang konsisten dan menyeluruh seperti ini, diharapkan akan menghasilkan desain arsitektur yang dibentuk sesuai dengan perilaku pengguna, namun jika diperlukan juga dapat membentuk perilaku pengguna.
The State of Civil-Military Relations Education: Falling Short?
Authors: Weiss Cornelia
Published: April 2024

This paper addresses the state of civil-military relations (CMR) education by addressing whether CMR is taught at military and civilian institutions, the gap between CMR scholarship produced and CMR materials studied, and the ability to create better CMR syllabi (by ending a practice of excluding female-authored works in CMR syllabi).

El proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las ciencias agrarias en la Educación Universitaria con estrategias metodológicas apoyadas en las posibilidades de las TIC´s, optimiza el salto de la sociedad de la información a la sociedad del conocimiento. Este trabajo es una contribución importante al campo educativo universitario ya que permitió profundizar en los fundamentos teóricos para la generación de conocimiento. La presente investigación tuvo la finalidad de caracterizar epistémicamente la acción docente que se desarrolla en la Universidad Nacional Experimental Sur del Lago “Jesús María Semprum” (UNESUR) para la enseñanza de las ciencias agrarias ante las innovaciones educativas y tecnológicas, donde conviene la concurrencia de los tres elementos básicos: estado-Docentes-Estudiantes orientados a la interacción con las comunidades para propiciar el desarrollo rural sostenible, lo cual marca la relevancia de las finalidades y contenido de la educación universitaria de calidad. Los procesos de cambio en la enseñanza de las ciencias agrarias en la UNESUR se estudiaron con base en los postulados de la teoría de la Complejidad propuesta por Morín apoyada en la metodología cualitativa con paradigma interpretativo siguiendo el espiral propuesto por Martínez a través del círculo hermenéutico de Dilthey. Los informantes clave fueron cinco docentes, un coordinador académico y diez estudiantes pertenecientes al programa académico Administración de Empresas Agropecuarias que se imparte en la UNESUR. Se utilizaron entrevista en profundidad, cuestionario abierto y observación participante a través de un guion de indicadores preliminares que permitieron el corpus de categorías partiendo de la triangulación de las herramientas y procedimientos de cuyos análisis emergieron hallazgos del modelo actual empleado para la enseñanza de las ciencias agrarias que deja ver la ruptura epistémica entre el deber ser y la realidad de la acción docente, prevaleciendo el modelo tradicional de la educación ya caducado.

El presente trabajo analiza las vulneraciones a las garantías penales y procesales en la aplicación de las prisiones preventivas a mujeres gestantes o en lactancia, con el objetivo de analizar la prisión preventiva y las medidas alternativas para mujeres gestantes o en lactancia del Distrito Judicial del Santa – Ancash, 2023. Para ello, se desarrolló un estudio de tipo básico, con enfoque cualitativo y hermenéutico de alcance descriptivo, donde para responder las interrogantes planteadas se tuvo que aplicar como técnica la entrevista a la muestra de estudio conformada por dos fiscales, 2 defensores públicos y 2 abogados litigantes. Los resultados arrojaron que las prisiones preventivas aplicadas a mujeres gestantes o en lactancia vulneran sus derechos y garantías penales y procesales, y tiene una repercusión negativa para su salud y bienestar. Se encontraron diversas posibilidades alternas a la prisión preventiva que son viables y respetan los derechos en la mujer y los niños en estos contextos. En conclusión, esta investigación evidencia la necesidad de adoptar medidas alternativas en las prisiones preventivas para mujeres gestantes y en lactancia, garantizando el respeto a sus derechos y garantías penales y procesales en el sistema penal.
