Self-Declared Infertility and Demand for Treatment. Findings from the National Demographic and Health Survey (PNDS) 2006
Authors: Garcia Sandra , Vieira Joice Melo
Published: October 2024

Objectives: This article aims to identify and characterize women of reproductive age who declare themselves infertile or having difficulty conceiving and wish to have children, their demand for infertility treatments in public and private services, and their outcomes.
Methods: This study is based on the data on infertility available from PNDS 2006, a national household survey designed using complex probabilistic sampling with approximately 15.000 women of reproductive age representing the five Brazilian macro-regions. Chi-square tests were adjusted to identify associations between infertility, treatment-seeking, and sociodemographic variables. We calculate Cramer’s V to measure the strength of the association between infertility and each sociodemographic variable of interest.

Authors: Ranjani Priya Dr. P. Siva , Ahmed Dr. Maimoona , Reddy. T Dr. Prathiba
Published: October 2024

Background: Multifetal pregnancies are on the rise due to advanced treatment modalities for infertility and assisted reproductive techniques (ART). These pregnancies are associated with more maternal and fetal morbidities as compared to singleton gestations. Even among twin pregnancies, those conceived by ART have been shown to be associated with adverse outcomes as compared to their spontaneously conceived counterparts.
Objectives: The primary objective was to examine whether DCDA twin pregnancies conceived after ART were at a higher risk of adverse outcomes as compared to their spontaneously conceived counterparts. The secondary objective was to assess the maternal and fetal complications in the twin pregnancies.

O CONFRONTO ENTRE AS DESCRIÇÕES LINGUÍSTICAS E O ENSINO:OS PRONOMES-COMPLEMENTO DE 2SG EM LIVROS DIDÁTICOS DE LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA
Authors: Rumeu Márcia Cristina de Brito , Santos Júlia Maria Mendes
Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste estudo é examinar a implementação dos resultados das pesquisas linguísticas acerca dos pronomes-complemento de 2ª pessoa do singular na abordagem dos livros didáticos aprovados pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático em suas versões de 2018 e de 2021. Os resultados das pesquisas demonstram a ampliação do sistema de pronomes-complemento no português brasileiro se tomarmos como ponto de partida o paradigma conservador prescrito pela tradição gramatical. Em síntese, constatamos que os livros didáticos se mostram desvinculados do ensino da diversidade de pronomes-complemento de 2ª pessoa do singular efetivamente em uso na realidade linguística do português brasileiro, corroborando as análises de Lopes (2012), Marcotulio, Pinheiro & Martins (2013) e Rumeu & Carvalho (2018) em relação aos pronomes pessoais, aos possessivos e às construções imperativas de 2SG, respectivamente.

La Ley de extranjería 1.094 de 1975 como dispositivo discursivo en el contexto de la dictadura cívico-militar
Authors: Brower Beltramin Jorge , Contreras Leticia
Published: October 2024

In our times, migration has become a priority issue on the international agenda. The need to have appropriate legislation on this matter is unavoidable, ensuring protection for those who move, seeking a better quality of life. In this work, we analyze the immigration law 1,094 promulgated by the Chilean civic-military dictatorship in 1975. Considering its discursive/legal status, we are interested in its analysis as a legal reference in relation to subsequent projects and the current Immigration Law, in force since the year 2021. For its reading, analysis and understanding, we have resorted to the concept of knowledge/power device, developed by Foucault, particularly in its discursive dimension. This allows us to characterize the semantic and ideological construction that is made of migrant subjects, in the context of a dictatorship, regulated by conditions of normative production typical of a totalitarian regime.
From monuments to living heritage. Revisiting the Venice Charter in the conservation of younger industrial heritage
Authors: Klysner Steffensen Alberte
Published: October 2024

The Venice Charter of 1964 has been the benchmark for tenets governing architectural conservation and set forth pivotal principles that shaped conservation practices for decades. However, conceived during a time when heritage was primarily associated with physical monuments, the landscape of cultural heritage has transformed significantly since then, encompassing immaterial aspects, democratisation of heritage values, and diverse sustainability considerations.This research aims at exploring the strengths, limitations, and adaptability of the Venice Charter in light of evolving perspectives on heritage. The paper delves into the charter's historical context, asking whether it remains a guiding beacon or a potential hindrance. A key focus of the research is the examination of obstacles associated with the conservation of younger heritage in the face of contemporary challenges posed by sustainability imperatives. The inherent complexities of managing heritage structures marked by ongoing developmental histories and changes are explored with an example of industrial heritage dealing with the concept of ‘living heritage’. In the context of a future where resource responsibility and reuse are paramount matters, firm definitions of original substance as defined in the Venice Charter, as well as a static perception of conservation, may pose challenges, particularly for unintentional monuments situated in complex environments or marked by evolving narratives through time. Marking the 60th anniversary of the Venice Charter, this research sheds light on the charter’s legacy and its validity in the contemporary landscape of heritage protection as well as the future role of the monuments in our ever-changing societal context.
The Venice Charter – between protection and socially useful purpose.
Authors: Eremenko Iuliia , Kraski Tymoteusz
Published: October 2024

The principles of the Venice Charter are still invoked worldwide as a crucial reference point in discussions and practices related to heritage preservation. However, the Charter’s lack of clarity in defining stakeholders and procedural steps raises significant issues about who has the authority to determine the appropriateness of new functions for monuments. This deficiency can lead to decision-making that might not fully consider the diverse cultural values and historical significance of the sites, potentially resulting in conservation outcomes that are more economically than socially driven. This paper examines how national and international conservation policies have expanded upon the Venice Charter to address social participation and the concept of "socially useful purposes" in World Heritage site management. Focusing on Germany and Poland World Heritage cities, the study explores how national and international guidelines have expanded upon the Venice Charter to incorporate social participation and the concept of "socially useful purposes" in the management of World Heritage sites. It delves into the role of Site Management Plans as dynamic documents that have evolved from strict preservation frameworks to policies encompassing social participation, thereby enhancing community engagement and meeting a broader spectrum of conservation needs and stakeholder interests.
The legacy of Erich Mendelsohn – expression and context in the architecture of Modern Movement.
Authors: Sołtysik Maria Jolanta
Published: October 2024

In 2021, the international community of architectural and art historians started the so called “Erich Mendelsohn Initiative”, with the goal of inscribing the architectural legacy of Erich Mendelsohn on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Despite some efforts, the final list of nominated buildings, along with the Statement of their Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) and the title of the nomination has not yet been established. This article presents a new, authorial look at Erich Mendelsohn’s legacy in view of  the UNESCO World Heritage. It analyses the global significance of Erich Mendelsohn’s legacy in the opinions of leading architectural historians of the 20th century. The article puts forward the preliminary list of Mendelsohn’s realisations which should embody his legacy, the criteria for assessment their historical value and the proposed title of the nomination. The main part of the article is defining the first two sections of the “Statement of Outstanding Universal Value”, to be presented in the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. According to the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention they are: the “Brief synthesis”, and the “Justification for Criteria”. In conclusion, the author argues, that the most significant qualities of Erich Mendelsohn’s architectural works are their strong expression and their dialog with the local context. Therefore, these features should be the main subjects of the Outstanding Universal Value Statement, the title and in the main narrative points of the nomination dossier for the inscription of Erich Mendelsohn’s legacy on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
New uses of castles owned by municipalities in the province of Alicante (Spain) during the first quarter of the 21st century
Authors: Mira Rico Juan Antonio
Published: October 2024

The province of Alicante is an administrative unit belonging to the Valencian Community, one of the 17 autonomous communities that make up Spain, and it is located in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. Its historical vicissitudes have motivated the existence of many castles. All of them mark the province from north to south and from east to west. After losing their military and/or residential functions, many castles were abandoned and became ruins of reference in their landscape. Their recovery began without a defined use in the second half of the 20th century. However, the tourist development of the province of Alicante, under the Costa Blanca brand, has turned these castles into a first-rate cultural and tourist resource. In this way, many actions have been carried out on their cultural and tourist use to learn about the history of the places where they are. For this reason, the present work is committed to reflect on the new uses of these castles during the first quarter of the 21st century and the remains for their preservation.

Despite advances in surgical techniques, the incidence of SSI remains significantly high and a recent meta-analysis has estimated the global incidence. Assessing patients' knowledge level can help physicians assess their knowledge level and train them on hygiene procedures. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted from July to December 2023 in the Department of Surgery, Patuakhali Medical College Hospital, Patuakhali, Bangladesh. Forty patients aged between 20 and 60 years participated in the study. Forty patients aged between 20 and 60 years participated in the study. Patients who underwent surgery were also included in the study. Demographic parameters were recorded and patient knowledge was assessed using a standard questionnaire. Results: Majority of patients belong to the age group of 41-50 years. More men than women participated in the study. Most of the patients were working. Most of the patients belonged to the group of patients with higher secondary education. Most of the patients lived in rural areas. Furthermore, most of the patients had been hospitalized 1 to 5 times. The majority of patients responded that they had no prior knowledge about wound infections. The majority of patients responded that they would be interested in improving their knowledge about wound infections if an educational program were offered. Conclusion: This study extends existing knowledge regarding patients' knowledge and awareness of wound infections. The majority of patients stated that their level of knowledge in this area was insufficient and expressed a willingness to improve their knowledge. The study recommends further research in this area and also to increase patients' awareness about wound infections.

Vector-borne diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya, zika, and leishmaniasis, represent a global public health challenge. This study aimed to understand the impact of socioeconomic, environmental, and healthcare access variables on the incidence of infectious diseases from 2012 to 2021, investigating patterns and correlations. Variables analyzed included the number of healthcare facilities, average income, population size, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and accumulated deforestation. Multiple linear regression and correlations were used, with data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) and the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). Dengue showed a strong correlation with GDP, the number of healthcare facilities, and deforestation. Chikungunya was associated with population, GDP, and deforestation. Zika showed correlations with population growth and deforestation. Leptospirosis was negatively influenced by healthcare facilities and GDP, while hantavirus infection was inversely related to population growth and healthcare facilities. Leishmaniasis had positive correlations with GDP, healthcare facilities, and deforestation. This study reveals complex interactions between socioeconomic, environmental, and health variables in the incidence of infectious diseases. Understanding these patterns is crucial for formulating effective public policies, highlighting the need for integrated and holistic strategies in the control and prevention of these diseases.
Electromagnetic Phenomena in Nature and Their Causes
Authors:   AEM ( Azerbaijan Science Center ), Dadashzade Gunay
Published: October 2024

Abstract All physical phenomena that occur in nature are related to one or another mutual effects. Electric and magnetic phenomena are of particular importance in order to gain extensive knowledge about the structure of the world around us. Electric and magnetic forces can be transmitted over a certain distance like gravitational forces. While the source of the gravitational field is mass, the source of the electromagnetic field is electric charge. The only reason for such a contradiction may be the discrepancy between the research methods used by science and the essence of the problem being studied. Historically, all research methods should be divided into methods before and after the advent of the computer era. It was the former that were at the disposal of researchers whose recommendations were used in the formation of the existing regulatory framework.
Geotechnical Justification for Designing Landslide Prevention Measures

Published: October 2024

Abstract When designing anti-landslide measures, slope stability assessment is an important factor and is determined by conducting comprehensive engineering and geological studies on a slope with potential landslide risks. The results of correct engineering and geological justification for the design of anti-landslide measures lead to the preservation of the structure and safe operation of infrastructure facilities. Our experience shows that to eliminate the negative effects of landslide processes, it is necessary to accurately determine the engineering and geological conditions of the slope, including the stability of the slope, taking into account natural dynamic phenomena (seismicity of the territory and tectonic processes) and, if possible, to see the complete elimination of the causes that lead to landslide processes when developing anti-landslide measures. To achieve these goals, the geotechnical justification of the design is the only correct solution. Geotechnical justification of protective measures intended to protect the structural elements of the Baku-Russian Federation State Border highway, which is part of the north-south transport corridor and passes through the foot of a potentially landslide-hazardous slope west of the city of Shabran, is one of the most important conditions that increase the effectiveness of these measures. On a slope located 1500 meters southwest of the current research area, the results of our scientific research were not properly utilized and many of our warnings were not heeded, resulting in a landslide during construction, leading to serious damage to the road's structural elements (Fig. 1) and additional costs. This event once again confirms that landslides are the most common natural and man-made processes that pose a threat to the safe operation of infrastructure facilities, civil and industrial construction in mountainous and foothill areas (Shiraliyev et al., 2024)
Measuring The Current State Of Intellectual Productivity Among Faculty Members At The Libyan Academy For Postgraduate Studies In Janzour: An Analytical Study
Authors: Al-Sadiq Bezan Hanan
Published: October 2024

Higher education institutions serve as the source of intellectual enlightenment and are pioneers of development and modernization in societies. They drive economic and social growth. These institutions are distinguished by their focus on education, scientific research, and community service. The success of universities in fulfilling their role depends on the quality and distinction of their faculty members. No university can thrive without the competence of its teaching staff. Faculty members are regarded as the most vital component of the knowledge capital that fuels the institution and are instrumental in achieving its objectives. The academic role of universities extends beyond teaching; it encompasses scientific research and societal development. Notably, developed nations place great emphasis on supporting faculty members, allowing them to dedicate themselves to research that drives progress. Thus, the intellectual productivity of university professors holds significant importance, emphasizing the need to study this aspect. This role is evident in how professors guide the intellectual movement within society, addressing and solving pressing societal issues. Importantly, the intellectual output of university professors is not necessarily tied to the academic promotion system established by universities, as scientific advancement should serve as a motivator for research rather than being the sole objective. The focus of this study centers on the following questions: What is the extent of scientific productivity? How closely is it related to societal issues? And what are the key drivers of scientific productivity among faculty members at the Libyan Academy for Postgraduate Studies?
University Students ‘Attitudes toward the Use of Moroccan Arabic and/or Standard Arabic as a Language of Instruction in the Moroccan Educational System Mohammed Rezzaki
Authors: REZZAKI Mohammed
Published: October 2024

The language of instruction is a very debatable issue in Morocco. It is rooted in the Moroccan history since colonization period .It has been controversial during the arabization process which has promoted Standard Arabic (SA) as a language of instruction .In recent years, many voices have risen either to question this process in or to support it. Many attitudes have been raised owing to the historical and current factors that surround this issue. The majority of these attitudes are based on theoretical framework, which has become inadequate way of scientific study, especially in a topic like the langue of instruction. This paper tries to cast light on these attitudes and attempts to construct the grounds from empirical fieldwork trough the use of observation and a questionnaire. The informants are 80 university students of English studies and Islamic studies. The main findings lie in the gap between theoretical and empirical research, the necessity of SA use as a language of instruction in many fields, such as: Islamic studies, the possibility of using reduced Arabic in other domains.
The Femme Fatale in Text and Image: Analyzing Gender, Power, and Representation in Rudyard Kipling’s “The Vampire” and Philip Burne-Jones’s Painting
Authors: Huang Chiung-Ying
Published: October 2024

This paper examines the connection between Rudyard Kipling’s poem “The Vampire” (1897) and Philip Burne-Jones’s painting of the same title, focusing on their portrayal of femininity and the interaction between text and image. Kipling’s poem, often viewed as a response to Burne-Jones’s depiction of actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell, presents a warning about the destructive allure of female beauty, highlighting themes of male disillusionment and betrayal. Burne-Jones’s painting emphasizes the femme fatale figure, portraying a sexually dominant woman overpowering a helpless man. Both works suggest that beauty conceals danger, leading to male ruin. Using Foucauldian and feminist frameworks, the paper critiques the politics of representation, arguing that the portrayal of women often reflects patriarchal anxieties, reducing them to passive objects in male-dominated visual culture. Critics like Linda Nochlin and Griselda Pollock are cited to challenge these depictions. The paper concludes that the female vampire theme reflects cultural fantasies rather than truths about femininity, contributing to ongoing discussions on how art and literature shape gender perceptions.

Issues in Machine Translation with reference to the Story “Thakur ka kuan” by Munshi Premchand
Authors: - PUNAM SILU
Published: October 2024

This paper explores the issues encountered in machine translation, specifically using Google Translate, in translating Munshi Premchand's short story Thakur Ka Kuan ("Thakur's Well"). The study identifies key challenges, including the misinterpretation of cultural references, idiomatic expressions, and contextual meaning that are integral to Premchand's narrative style. Machine translation often produces literal translations that lack the nuance and emotional depth present in the original text, leading to misrepresentation of the story’s themes. For instance, socio-cultural terms and metaphors central to the story's message are frequently mistranslated or omitted entirely. The translation also struggles with maintaining consistency in tense and sentence structure, further diluting the narrative. This paper argues that while machine translation offers convenience for basic translations, it remains insufficient for complex literary works, where cultural, emotional, and contextual understanding is crucial. A comparative analysis with a human-translated version highlights these deficiencies and suggests that human input remains essential for accurate literary translations. The findings underscore the need for improved machine learning models to address these linguistic and cultural intricacies.

Interpreting Collective and Individual War Memories in Borders in Anuk Arudprakasam’s The Passage North: Affective Memories in a Hot Spot Interpreting Collective and Individual War Memories in Borders in Anuk Arudprakasam’s The Passage North: Affective Memories in a Hot Spot
Authors: - Sowmya Shree S , - V. David Arputha Raj
Published: October 2024

War memories are the patchwork of collective and individual memory, public and private remembrance and a recollection of current knowledge, and interpretation of the facts and events during and after the wars. The knowledge and interpretation of wars occur through the conscience, trauma, and injury which shapes the personal and public memory of an individual or an ethnic group. This paper deals with the effect of war memory in the post-Srilankan civil war state with the novel The Passage North by Anuk Arudprakasam. This novel narrates the oral testimonies, the ravages of the civil war and its effects on the survivors. The thoughts and personal memories of the protagonist, Krishan, concern how people live, yet become diminished in the aftermath of civil war, and the horrors Rani experienced during the Civil war reveal the memories, trauma and actions that have determined the scar in their lives as they cope up with displacement from borders and longingness for the lived land. This research paper employs the theoretical framework of Theodule Ribot’s affective memory and conceptualises it along with the collective and individual war memory of the survivor. The paper also moves towards the application of the theory of ethnic conflict in the borders where it does reveal the alien and dreadful memories and also transcends intermittently of reconnecting, of reimagining and of reconstituting the past as network or as archive or as present as Hoskins says (Hoskin, 05). This research attempts to probe the questions of civil war memory, and remembering and forgetting of violence and trauma in the mental borders.
Accessibility in an Inclusive Academic Environment: The Case of Takoradi Technical University
Authors: - John Mefful , - Moses Kofi Koho , - Joseph Mensah Oti-Asirifi
Published: October 2024

This study examines the extent to which Takoradi Technical University (TTU) in Ghana has achieved an inclusive academic environment for students with disabilities. Despite Ghana's commitment to inclusive education and various policies supporting persons with disabilities (PWDs), there remains a significant research gap regarding the practical implementation and effectiveness of these policies at the university level. This research addresses this gap by evaluating TTU's accessibility measures and support services.
The study employs a phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences of students with disabilities, faculty, and staff at TTU. It investigates the alignment of TTU’s practices with national and international inclusive education policies, such as the Persons with Disability Act (715) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The research focuses on three main objectives: identifying the teaching and learning needs of disabled students, assessing the accessibility of TTU's built environment, and evaluating the satisfaction of students with the available support services.
Data were collected through qualitative interviews with 28 participants, including students with disabilities, lecturers, and support staff. Findings reveal that TTU has established various support services, including sign language interpretation, e-learning support, and assistive devices. However, students reported inadequacies in these services, citing needs for additional support such as braille services and extended examination time. Furthermore, the built environment at TTU was found to be largely inaccessible to students with physical disabilities, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among the student body.
The study highlights that while TTU has made commendable efforts in providing institutionalized support for disabled students, significant gaps remain in service adequacy and physical accessibility. The findings underscore the need for enhanced strategies to improve inclusivity at TTU and similar institutions, aligning practical implementations with policy frameworks to better serve students with disabilities

A Critical Comparison of Kautilya's 'Arthashastra' and Machiavelli's 'The Prince', Their Political Theories and Philosophies
Authors: - Yamini Patruni
Published: October 2024

Kautilya’s Arthashastra was translated to English in the year 1915, since then its comparison with Machiavelli started. Chanakya is credited with the creation of Arthashastra, a magnum opus on statecraft, law, military, and other matters of the state. The Arthashastra is the oldest book on political science and political ethics, and he introduced many other prominent issues to be kept in mind compared to Machiavelli. Machiavelli only concentrates on political and fiscal matters, Kautilya writes about the importance of land settlements, promotion of economic activity, rules of society, construction of infrastructure, defence, and communication. He has given a list of behavioral codes for ministers, king, and civilians. There is mention of diverse levels of administration, various departments and the roles for the officials are clearly defined. And the entire administration was based on the foundation of ‘Dharma’. Arthashastra is a comprehensive, coherent, original document while on the other hand Machiavelli was seeking a job and he sent his manuscript with job application. Consequently, he covered a very few topics and did not analyze any topic in depth. Though written and complied centuries apart and prior to Machiavelli’s Prince, The Arthashastra is much more detailed and complete text on state craft which is relevant even today. Some researchers have even gone to the extent of saying that, comparing Machiavelli’s Prince to Kautilya’s Arthashastra is like comparing a candlelight to that of sunlight.

The Effects of Market Monopolies on Consumer Welfare and Economic Efficiency
Authors: - Aryan Dhiman
Published: October 2024

Using both theoretical and empirical analysis, this study offers a thorough examination of how market monopolies affect consumer welfare and economic efficiency. The study sheds light on the ways in which monopolistic enterprises sustain their market dominance by analyzing how monopolies function. These tactics include taking advantage of entry hurdles, exercising control over crucial resources, and implementing strategies such as price discrimination. According to the research, because there is no competition, monopolies not only drive up costs but also limit consumer choice, lower the quality of their products, and stifle innovation. Due to these monopolistic actions, there are inefficiencies in the market, especially when it comes to the distribution of resources, which makes businesses less inventive and productive and ultimately contributes to a general stagnation in the economy.
The role of legal frameworks like antitrust laws, which are intended to prevent monopolistic behavior, is also evaluated in this research. It criticizes current laws, pointing out that they frequently fail to keep up with changing market circumstances, especially in sectors like technology and telecommunications. In order to remedy these deficiencies, the paper suggests a number of policy measures, such as stepping up antitrust enforcement, lowering obstacles to new businesses entering the market, and liberalizing the market to create an atmosphere that is more competitive. It also promotes updating regulatory frameworks to deal with digital monopolies and quickly evolving global markets in a way that prioritizes consumer welfare and restores economic efficiency. By taking these steps, the study highlights how crucial it is to reduce monopolistic power in order to foster innovation, long-term economic growth, and consumer safety.
