A Conceptualist Construal of the Semantic View of Physical Theories
Authors: Rolleri Jose Luis
Published: January 2025

What is the relationship between the models of a physical theory and the systems and processes in its domain? This question arises for philosophers of science from the semantic view of such theories, which conceive a theory as a set of classes of models ⎯where the concept of physical model plays a crucial role. The semantic view is a conception of the structure of theories, and it becomes neutral about their content, allowing it to be assumed from different philosophical stances about science. We adopt the conceptualist or conceptual relativism stance about science to try a plausible thesis on that epistemological question, which contrasts with the theses sustained by realist, instrumentalist, and empiricist philosophers. We intend to elaborate on theoretical models, considering that abstractions and idealisations are ubiquitous in physical theories, from laws to models, and reside in their conceptual frameworks. The key idea of our proposal is that models provide idealised conceptualisations of bodily processes.

Authors: Sapkota Mahendra
Published: January 2025

Nihilism, a philosophical approach that objects to the ontological reality of meaningfulness and holism, has diverse interpretations. Following a systematic review method, this study critically examines nihilism from metaphysical viewpoints such as reality, existence, meaning, and value over history and its philosophical trajectory. The exploration, guided by the works of influential philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger and more recent theorist ideas, underscores the opposition of metaphysical nihilism to the status quo in traditional forms of philosophy. In so doing, it highlights the philosophically important role of nihilism in contemporary metaphysical debate, engaging the audience in current philosophical debates, its relation to Buddhism, and how influence might unfold in philosophy over time.

Published: January 2025

Epilepsy, a neurological disorder, is characterized by recurrent, uncontrolled seizures due to an imbalance between inhibitory and excitatory neuronal interactions in the central nervous system (CNS). This study explores the neuroprotective effects of an alcoholic extract from Selaginella bryopteris leaves in experimental epilepsy models. Swiss albino mice (25–30 g) were used, and epilepsy was induced via pentylenetetrazol (PTZ, 60 mg/kg) and maximal electric shock (MES). The extract was administered orally at varying doses and compared with conventional antiepileptic drugs, phenytoin and diazepam. LC-MS analysis identified amentoflavone as a key bioactive compound with antiepileptic properties. The extract demonstrated significant dose-dependent protection in both PTZ and MES models, delaying convulsions in the PTZ model at 500 mg/kg, comparable to diazepam, and providing convulsion protection in the MES model similar to phenytoin. Additionally, the extract increased gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutathione (GSH) levels while reducing lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels, indicating its neuroprotective properties. These findings suggest that S. bryopteris leaves possess significant antiepileptic properties and may serve as a promising treatment for epilepsy.

Published: January 2025

The study examined how e-learning service quality affected students’ satisfaction and loyalty while noting the mediating role of e-learning students’ satisfaction in Ghana. Previous findings on e-learning service, information, and system quality were mostly undertaken in industrialized nations, with little effort made in sub-Saharan Africa.The conceptual framework is informed by the theories reviewed in this study. The positivist research philosophy’s explanatory research design was used. Data for the survey were obtained from 526 undergraduate students of the University of Professional Studies, Accra, who accessed the University’s e-learning website. Partial least squares structural equation modeling techniques were deployed employing the SmartPLS 3.3.3 application to find the relationships between the constructs based on an established conceptual model. The findings of the study suggest that e-learning service quality and e-learning student satisfaction significantly and directly affect e-learning student loyalty. Besides, the results also showed that e-learning service quality, e-learning information quality, and e-learning system quality have an indirect significant positive effect on e-learning student loyalty via partial mediation of e-learning student satisfaction. Our findings also suggest that for practitioners to accomplish successful e-learning deployment, (1) their e-learning sites must provide the best connectivity, availability, integration, navigation, and convenience for learners; (2) they must not only understand the importance of the overall e-learning service quality but also ensure that their e-learning support service workers and instructors have the empathy, civility, responsiveness, and kindness required while servicing online learners.
A smart grid data privacy-preserving aggregation approach with authentication
Authors: Kaur Manpreet , Mishra Shweta
Published: January 2025

Authentication of smart grid privacy-preserving aggregation addresses two of the key privacy and security issues of the smart grids: user data confidentiality and grid node communication safety. The proposed study elaborates on a new approach to data aggregation with authentication in smart grid systems for the safe and efficient exchange of information. The proposed solution would apply techniques, such as homomorphic encryption along with advanced cryptographic techniques, to calculate encrypted data without leaking sensitive information. Data and device integrity are more likely to be maintained when using better authentication techniques like blockchain and quantum key distribution (QKD). This dual layered aggregation with privacy-preserving combined with robust authentication can strengthen the smart grids against unauthorized access and data tampering, along with other cyber-attacks. The results show that the proposed approach for aggregation in smart meters is more accurate and useful in terms of data as compared to the conventional approaches. As far as mean relative error (MRE) is concerned, the MRE of the proposed layer model is 0.0007, which is substantially smaller than the differentially private model (0.0023) and Gaussian model (0.0058). The minimum MRE of the proposed model was achieved in the aggregator layer at 0.0029 compared with the corresponding differentially- private model’s 0.0063 and Gaussian model’s 0.0117. As the privacy parameter ε increases, noise levels drop precipitously from 14.137738 for ε = 0.1 to 0.282786 for ε = 5.0. The proposed methodology improves smart grid data aggregation with a balance between privacy and accuracy.

Authors: L. Amudavalli  , K. Muthuramalingam
Published: January 2025

Energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a crucial and fundamental design consideration. These networks typically consist of numerous small, resource-constrained sensor nodes, frequently placed in isolated or difficult-to-reach areas. This research presents a comprehensive methodology for improving the performance and energy efficiency of WSNs deployed in a designated target area. The research begins with the deployment of sensor nodes equipped with location information and the initialization of critical network parameters. Novel techniques are introduced for efficient node clustering using a Haversine-based K-means Clustering algorithm (HKMC) and an advanced hybrid optimization model, teaching-learning soccer league optimization (TLSLO), for optimal cluster head selection within clusters. Data aggregation at cluster heads is crucial for conserving energy, and data compression techniques, including the novel weighted discrete wavelet transform (WDWT)), are employed to reduce data transmission size. Furthermore, deep learning models in the form of recurrent artificial neural networks (RANN) predict energy consumption patterns, enabling the optimization of node sleep-wake schedules for a prolonged network lifetime. Simulated using Python, the proposed protocol’s performance is evaluated, demonstrating its superiority in terms of energy efficiency, latency, network lifetime, and data delivery ratio compared to existing routing protocols. This research offers a holistic approach to improving WSNs enhancing their efficiency and sustainability in resource-constrained environments.

However, disparities in competency levels persist due to variations in information literacy training and institutional support structures. This review identifies key areas where ILC training could be improved, particularly through targeted interventions tailored to the needs of each educational setting. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive information literacy programs to equip scholars with essential competencies, ultimately fostering academic success and lifelong learning across diverse educational contexts.
Trust and security in wireless sensor networks: A literature review of approaches for malicious node detection
Authors: A. Rukmani  , C. Jayanthi
Published: January 2025

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely used in various fields such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, military applications, and smart cities. However, due to their decentralized nature, limited resources, and deployment in often hostile environments, WSNs are vulnerable to several security threats, especially malicious node attacks. Malicious nodes can disrupt network operations by dropping packets, injecting false data, or launching attacks such as sinkholes, wormholes, and Sybil attacks. To counter these threats, numerous malicious node detection methods have been proposed, ranging from trust-based models to anomaly detection techniques and clustering-based approaches. In parallel, the design of efficient routing protocols plays a critical role in ensuring energy-efficient and secure data transmission within the network. This review paper presents a comprehensive analysis of existing techniques for malicious node detection and efficient routing in WSNs

Արդարադատությունը հին և միջնադարյան Հայաստանում / The Justice in Ancient and Medieval Armenia
Authors: Safaryan Garnik G. , Stepanyan Norayr V.
Published: January 2025

In this article the authors under systematized methodology had comprehensively examined the characteristic features in ancient and medieval Armenia.
In the Assyrian and Sumerian sources, the ancient Armenian statehood describes Aratta as “country of sacred laws”.
The foreign appreciation of “country of sacred laws” also has the significance of the characteristics of justice of the given country, from which it can be concluded that judicial disputes were resolved based on these “sacred laws”. As the researchers note: “The system of customary law here (in Aratta, author) was still based on sanctified authority and tradition, which ensured the living of customs by almost all members of the society. Therefore, the main method of implementing social norms in Aratta was belief formed through religious socialization, not coercion.
In ancient times, as we saw in the previous description, the subordination of any authority upon the people had to be conditioned by either a military-economic or a religious (faith) factor. According to the latter, the ruler-king is appointed by the Gods and is their substitute and executor of will on earth. In Aratta, the high priest-king, who was also considered the supreme judge of the country, was endowed with such power.
As in the ancient period the justice bodies were not separated from the administrative bodies, it can be assumed that minor crimes and the settlement of civil legal disputes were reserved to the jurisdiction of the lower state administration bodies (governors).
Almost the same judicial system operated in Armenia during the Hayasa-Azzi kingdom, the Pan-Armenian state of Van (Nairi, Biaynili, Uratu, Ararat), the kingdoms of the Haykazunis, Eruandids, Artashesian and Arshakuni.
However, when Christianity was adopted as the state religion in Armenia in 301, when the Christian doctrine became the state-official ideology, since that period, the secular-legal and religious-legal systems and their respective secular judicial and spiritual-religious courts with their powers were gradually formed.
The following formed the system of justice bodies of Armenia in the medieval era; a) state or secular, b) church or spiritual courts.

This study explores the impact of food vloggers, digital marketing, and customer trust on consumer buying interest and decisions at Becol Serangan Restaurant and Pan Kuncung Restaurant in Denpasar, Bali. With the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) approach, this study uses a sample of 96 respondents collected through an online survey. The results of the study show that food vloggers, digital marketing, and customer trust have a positive and significant influence on buying interest and purchase decisions. In addition, buying interest also mediates the influence of food vloggers and digital marketing on purchasing decisions. This shows that effective promotion through food vloggers and digital marketing, as well as high trust from customers, can increase consumer buying interest and purchasing decisions. The results of this study underscore the importance of the right marketing strategy and customer trust in influencing consumer behavior, especially in the culinary industry in Bali.

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence and formulate strategies to meet the needs of functional positions of fisheries supervisors and assistant fisheries supervisors in supporting the Blue Economy Policy of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries to be optimal. The research method used is a qualitative approach. The aspects of analysis include the state of work, the use of working time, and the goals that must be achieved based on the theory of workload indicators and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The results showed that the fulfillment of functional position needs was not optimal due to several factors, namely 1) the level of skills and understanding of some JF Waskan and Assistant Waskan was still quite low; 2) limited formation because there was no determination of latest position map; 3) Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that differed between the center and UPT PSDKP; 4) fisheries supervision was still carried out manually with physical inspection of fishing vessels. For strategies to fulfill the needs of functional positions, several suggestions were formulated, namely 1) preparation of Human Capital Development Plan (HCDP) as a basis for training and development; 2) determination of the formation of the results of calculating the needs of functional positions in the latest position map; 3) improvement and refinement of SOPs; and 4) development of an independent fisheries monitoring system with risk assessment. Managerial implications are outlined in the priority strategy, while the highest factor is formation through accelerating the determination of the latest position map.

This study investigates the potential for channeling eggshells and hatchery waste into valuable products, emphasizing the economic and environmental benefits of waste valorization in the poultry industry. Samples of chicken and quail eggshells, along with hatchery waste—including unfertilized and dead-in-shell embryos were collected from reputable hatcheries in Jos, Plateau State, and processed in Bauchi. Proximate composition analysis revealed that chicken eggshells contained 46.71% ash, 38.19% nitrogen-free extract (NFE), and 867.20 KCal/Kg of metabolizable energy, while quail eggshells had 40.41% ash, 39.52% NFE, and 849.46 KCal/Kg. Hatchery waste analysis showed that quail dead-in-shell had the highest crude protein content of 21.89%, while chicken unfertilized eggs had a crude protein level of 10.22%. The study also included a survey of 50 poultry farmers, revealing that 54% strongly agreed on the importance of economic considerations in waste valorization, with a mean score of 4.24. Furthermore, 44% strongly agreed on the environmental benefits of waste valorization, leading to a mean score of 4.10. The results indicated that both eggshells and hatchery waste are not only rich in nutrients but also present substantial opportunities for creating new revenue streams, thereby enhancing economic sustainability. The study concludes that implementing waste valorization practices can significantly reduce waste disposal costs, mitigate environmental impacts, and contribute to a circular economy in poultry farming. Based on the result of this study, increasing awareness and training among farmers, encouraging collaboration, and promoting policy support for sustainable waste management practices are recommended.

Advancements in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology is exemplified by ubiquitous voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa. Researchers have been exploring the application of ASR for Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems. Initial prototypes utilized ASR to pre-fill aircraft radar labels and achieved a technological readiness level before industrialization (TRL6). However, accurately recognizing infrequently used but highly informative domain-specific vocabulary is still an issue. This includes waypoint names specific to each airspace region and unique airline designators, e.g., “dexon” or “pobeda”. Traditionally, open-source ASR toolkits or large pre-trained models require substantial domain-specific transcribed speech data to adapt to specialized vocabularies. However, typically, a “universal” ASR engine capable of reliably recognizing a core dictionary of several hundreds of frequently used words suffices for ATM applications. The challenge lies in dynamically integrating the additional region-specific words used less frequently. These uncommon words are crucial for maintaining clear communication within the ATM environment. This paper proposes a novel approach that facilitates the dynamic integration of these new and specific word entities into the existing universal ASR system. This paves the way for “plug-and-play” customization with minimal expert intervention and eliminates the need for extensive fine-tuning of the universal ASR model. The proposed approach demonstrably improves the accuracy of these region-specific words by a factor of ≈7 (from 10% F1-score to 70%) for all rare words and ≈5 (from 13% F1-score to 64%) for waypoints.
Aplicación de Propóleo y Etanol en el Tratamiento de Mastitis Subclínica de Vacas en Producción de la Finca Santa Rosa Parroquia Pioter Cantón Tulcán

Published: January 2025

La mastitis subclínica es una enfermedad prevalente que afecta aproximadamente al 70% de las ganaderías lecheras en Ecuador, causando pérdidas económicas significativas para los productores. Este estudio evaluó la efectividad de un tratamiento alternativo utilizando una solución compuesta de propóleo al 50% y etanol al 50% para tratar la mastitis subclínica en vacas lecheras de la finca Santa Rosa, ubicada en la parroquia Pioter, cantón Tulcán, provincia de Carchi. Para el diagnóstico inicial de mastitis subclínica, se realizó el California Mastitis Test (CMT) a veinte vacas en producción. Las vacas diagnosticadas con mastitis subclínica recibieron una dosis de 10 cc de la solución de propóleo y etanol cada dos horas. Después de diez días de tratamiento, se volvió a aplicar el CMT para evaluar la presencia de mastitis subclínica. Los datos obtenidos se analizaron utilizando el software estadístico InfoStat 2020. Los resultados iniciales del diagnóstico con el CMT indicaron que el 60% de las vacas estaban positivas en los cuatro cuartos mamarios, el 20% en tres cuartos, el 10% en dos cuartos y el 10% en un solo cuarto. Después de la aplicación del tratamiento con propóleo y etanol, se observó que el 80% de las vacas tratadas se curaron completamente en los cuatro cuartos mamarios, mientras que el 20% restante continuó mostrando resultados positivos en un solo cuarto. En términos de costos, el tratamiento alternativo de propóleo y etanol resultó ser más económico y eficiente, con un costo de $2.08 por 40 ml de solución, en comparación con el tratamiento farmacéutico convencional con Cefaspur (Ceftiofur clorhidrato 50 mg y excipientes c.s.p. 1 mL), que cuesta $5.30 por 20 ml.
