Published: February 2025

Minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized the treatment of maxillomandibular disorders, particularly those involving maxillomandibular dysmorphology, offering significantly improved clinical, aesthetic, and psychological outcomes. In a retrospective study including 4 cases of maxillomandibular disharmonies collected from the Maxillofacial and Aesthetic Surgery Department at Mohamed VI University Hospital in Marrakech over a 16-month period from January 2022 to April 2023, we present the effectiveness and advantages of minimally invasive surgery in managing this dysmorphology. Maxillomandibular disharmonies represent a true surgical challenge, and the range of treatments proposed in the literature does not always align with the severity of the dysmorphologies in our context.
The Depiction of Man-Woman Relationship in the Select Works of Shashi Deshpande and Kamala Das: A Study
Authors: - Krishna Sharma
Published: February 2025

Shashi Deshpande and Kamala Das, prominent women writers, occupy a prestigious position in Indian English literature owing to their picturesque presentation of man-woman relationships in literary works. This study presents a nuanced portrayal of gender dynamics in their writings. Deshpande’s works employ an introspective approach, illustrating women’s struggles for identity and self-worth within the confines of traditional relationships. In contrast, Kamala Das offers a striking and confessional perspective, challenging societal norms through her poetic expressions of love, desire, and sexuality. Furthermore, the study also aims to highlight the distinctive approaches of both writers, who provide profound critiques of gender dynamics while advocating for equality, love, and respectful connections between men and women. By revealing the intricate dimensions of gender relationships in literary discourse, this research paper eventually seeks to illuminate the shortcomings of emotional engagement in conventional male-female relationships, particularly emphasizing the lack of emotional intimacy, love, equality, and respect.

Misuse of Moratorium Under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016: A Threat to the Going Concern Principle
Authors: - ABHAY REVANTDAN ACHLAVAT , - ANSHUL KULSHRESTHA
Published: February 2025

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016, was enacted by the Government of India to consolidate and amend the laws relating to insolvency and bankruptcy, with the aim of promoting ease of doing business and protecting the interests of all stakeholders. One of the key features of the IBC is the moratorium, which provides a temporary suspension of certain legal actions against a company undergoing insolvency proceedings. While this provision was introduced to provide the debtor a breathing space and to ensure that the company's assets are preserved during the resolution process, there is a growing concern about its misuse. The misuse of the moratorium has significant implications on the going concern principle, which is a fundamental assumption in accounting and corporate governance. This paper explores the misuse of the moratorium under the IBC, its impact on the going concern principle, and the potential remedies to address these concerns.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The second decade of the 21st century witnessed an unprecedented pandemic that has shaken the entire world in a span of a few months. The novel coronavirus COVID-19, which shattered the entire world and was highly contagious with the possibility of causing severe respiratory disease, impacted the government and public health systems quickly. The impacts of the new coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV-2) on the population’s mental health are one of the greatest challenges faced by humanity in the twenty-first century. The education sector was also severely impacted by COVID-19. All stakeholders, including learners, teachers, and the government, have been prompted to make several changes in service delivery to ensure that the provision of quality education continues. In this backdrop, the present study was conducted to investigate whether COVID-19-related factors have any significant effect or not on the academic performance of secondary school students. A sample of 200 secondary school students was randomly selected from different government and private secondary schools. Out of the total number of respondents, 100 were selected from the government, and the remaining half were selected from the private schools. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS), developed by Lovibond and Lovibond in 1995, are administered to measure the level of depression, anxiety, and stress. From the analysis of the data, it is found that COVID-19-induced stress, anxiety, and depression severely and significantly affected the academic achievement of adolescents.

Authors: - Mrs. Pratibha Thakur , - Dr. Somendra Singh Kashyap
Published: February 2025

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools into nursing research and practice has the potential to transform healthcare delivery by improving clinical decision-making, enhancing patient outcomes, and optimizing healthcare workflows. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the current state of AI applications in nursing, summarizing the effectiveness, challenges, and opportunities presented by these technologies. A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed literature was conducted, including randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and qualitative research published between 2010 and 2024. Key findings reveal that AI tools, particularly in predictive analytics, diagnostic assistance, and patient monitoring, have shown positive effects on reducing clinical errors, enhancing patient care, and supporting evidence-based practice. However, the integration of AI in nursing faces significant barriers, including concerns regarding data privacy, trust in technology, and the need for continuous education and training for healthcare professionals. This review highlights the critical need for further research to address these challenges, establish clear ethical guidelines, and optimize the adoption of AI tools in nursing. The findings indicate that, when properly integrated, AI can augment nursing practice, improve care efficiency, and contribute to better health outcomes.

Impact of Environmental Education On College Students In Supaul Block (Supaul District), Bihar, India: An Assessment
Authors: - Shashank Kumar Choudhary , - Dr. Aniruddh Kumar
Published: February 2025

All of the physical elements of the planet, including the air, water, and land, which nourish and mould life in the biosphere, are collectively referred to as the environment. Learning about and understanding environmental issues such as pollution, overpopulation, deforestation, ecological disturbance, and energy scarcity, as well as its consequences is known as environmental education. To study Environmental awareness and the use of related practices the major objectives have been formulated such as to assess the Environmental awareness related to different environmental problems among college students, to evaluate the level of environmental awareness about gender and locality, and to identify the factors affecting environmental awareness of college students. This study investigates the attitudes of urban and rural students towards their educational experiences. This research is based on a primary database with a stratified random sampling method of nearly 595 samples. Microsoft Office suite, SPSS, and QGIS play a vital role in map making and statistical calculation. After the Z test, it is observed that 1.09 indicates that there is no discernible difference between pupils who are male and female and 3.11 indicates that there is a discernible difference between pupils who are rural and urban students in 0.01 level of significance. The results are the result of inadequate facilities, interest, and knowledge. Students in rural areas lack awareness of the environment, but students in metropolitan areas have access to resources, information, and enthusiasm. Thus, the pupils in both areas are where the differences exist.

Published: February 2025

O presente texto tem por objetivo identificar e analisar as caracterizações do Pensamento Algébrico nos Objetivos de Aprendizagem e Desenvolvimento dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental prescritos no Currículo da Cidade da Rede Municipal de São Paulo, bem como analisar esses  Objetivos de Aprendizagem e Desenvolvimento na perspectiva da dimensão do processo cognitivo de Bloom (1956). Para tanto, o estudo se insere em uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, de tipologia documental. Dentre os resultados destacamos a necessidade de algumas alterações a serem feitas no Currículo da Cidade (São Paulo, 2019), principalmente no que tange à ampliação de alguns objetivos em alguns anos de escolaridade, pois percebemos que há um objetivo apontado para um dos anos de escolaridade e depois esse objetivo desaparece dos anos subsequentes e volta em outros, o que mostra uma falta de continuidade.

Effects of Subhalos on Interpreting Highly Magnified Sources Near Lensing Caustics
Authors: Ji Lingyuan , Dai Liang
Published: February 2025

Large magnification factors near gravitational lensing caustics of galaxy-cluster lenses allow the study of individual stars or compact stellar associations at cosmological distances. We study how the presence of sub-galactic subhalos, an inevitable consequence of cold dark matter, can alter the property of caustics and hence change the interpretation of highly magnified sources that lie atop them. First, we consider a galaxy-cluster halo populated with subhalos sampled from a realistic subhalo mass function calibrated to N-body simulations. Then, we compare a semianalytical approximation and an adaptive ray-shooting method that we employ to quantify the property of the caustics. As a case study, we investigate Earendel, a z = 6.2 candidate of magnified single- or multiple-star system with a lone lensed image atop the critical curve in the Sunrise Arc. We find that the source size constraint (≲0.3 pc) previously derived from macrolens models should be relaxed by a factor of a few to 10 when subhalos are accounted for, therefore allowing the possibility of a compact star cluster. The subhalos could introduce an astrometric perturbation that is ≲0

5, which does not contradict observation. These conclusions are largely robust to changes in the subhalo population. Subhalos therefore should be seriously accounted for when interpreting the astrophysical nature of similar highly magnified sources uncovered in recent high-z observations.

Assessing the prevalence of atmospheres on rocky planets around M-dwarf stars is a top priority of exoplanet science. High-energy activity from M dwarfs can destroy the atmospheres of these planets, which could explain the lack of atmosphere detections to date. Volcanic outgassing has been proposed as a mechanism to replenish the atmospheres of tidally heated rocky planets. L 98-59 b, a sub-Earth transiting a nearby M dwarf, was recently identified as the most promising exoplanet to detect a volcanic atmosphere. We present the transmission spectrum of L 98-59 b from four transits observed with JWST NIRSpec G395H. Although the airless model provides an adequate fit to the data based on its χ
2, an SO2 atmosphere is preferred by 3.6σ over a flat line in terms of the Bayesian evidence. Such an atmosphere would likely be in a steady state where volcanism balances escape. If so, L 98-59 b must experience at least eight times as much volcanism and tidal heating per unit mass as Io. If volcanism is driven by runaway melting of the mantle, we predict the existence of a subsurface magma ocean in L 98-59 b extending up to R

p
 ∼  60%–90%. An SO2-rich volcanic atmosphere on L 98-59 b would be indicative of an oxidized mantle with an oxygen fugacity of fO2 > IW + 2.7, and it would imply that L 98-59 b must have retained some of its volatile endowment despite its proximity to its star. Our findings suggest that volcanism may revive secondary atmospheres on tidally heated rocky planets around M dwarfs.
First record of leucism in the Spix’s disc-winged bat, Thyroptera tricolor (Chiroptera, Thyropteridae), in Belize

Published: February 2025

Although chromatic disorders are widely reported in the animal kingdom, few reports of true leucism have been published in Neotropical bats. In this note we report our observations of a leucistic Thyroptera tricolor Spix (Spix’s Disc-winged Bat) in the Maya Mountains of the Stann Creek District of Belize, Central America. Observations made between March 2023 and April 2024 at the Toucan Ridge Ecology and Education Society (T.R.E.E.S) research station recorded a group of Thyroptera tricolor with a leucistic male identified on three separate occasions. Our observations are the first documented account of leucism for this species and the Thyropteridae family.
Affronter le vertige
Authors: Blanc Nathalie
Published: February 2025

Nous, en tant qu’individus et membres de collectifs, sommes plongés dans l’incertitude, devenue désormais la force dominante de nos vies. Nous sommes réduits à attendre les nouvelles, bonnes ou mauvaises, sachant que le futur est entaché d’ombres, ou pire. D’un jour à l’autre, des précipices peuvent s’ouvrir sous nos pieds. Du point de vue d’une géographe, l’enjeu est d’habiter autrement, ce qui signifie réfléchir à la propriété, à son histoire et ses effets, à l’artificialisation des sols, à l’enjeu qu’elle dissimule, ou encore à ce qui structure nos rapports à l’espace-temps au sein d’une ville, par exemple. Les expérimentations en la matière sont nombreuses : les villes en transition, les éco-lieux alternatifs, etc. Ce texte traite dès lors tant de l’environnement et de la manière de l’appréhender comme un continuum et une somme d’interdépendances aussi bien que de la manière dont l’esthétique environnementale répond à ces enjeux.
Le rêve inrêvé de la culture naturaliste : l’expérience-limite du peuple Crow
Authors: Magnenat Luc
Published: February 2025

L’auteur, psychanalyste, s’intéresse à un peuple indien d’Amérique du Nord, les Crow, qui a traversé l’expérience-limite d’un désastre environnemental et culturel en « rêvant » un totem à l’unisson de leur nouvelle situation historique. Ce totem n’était pas, pour eux, une illusion (Freud, 1927), mais le symbole du développement collectif d’une nouvelle fonction auto-conservatrice du moi. L’auteur s’appuie sur la culture Crow pour trouver une perspective tierce – une culture totémiste – à partir de laquelle considérer l’ontologie naturaliste de notre culture occidentale, avec l’aide de Freud, Bion et Descola.
Résonances des religions de matrice afro-brésilienne dans la psychanalyse
Authors: Klein Thais
Published: February 2025

L’objectif de cet exposé est de présenter quelques éléments fondamentaux du candomblé, en soulignant la place que cette religion occupe dans la société brésilienne, ainsi qu’en laissant entrevoir quelques questions que ce système religieux peut engendrer pour la psychanalyse. Si Freud a consacré une si grande partie de son œuvre à la discussion de la religion, pourquoi devrions-nous esquiver ce sujet, surtout à un moment où la religion est présente dans le monde de manière si controversée ? En prenant pour référence principale la religion monothéiste et la tradition judéo-chrétienne, la psychanalyse ne corroborerait-elle pas la dimension colonialiste (et raciste) de la pensée moderne ? Dans ce contexte, on mettra en avant les questions autour de la notion d’altérité, présentant d’emblée quelques éléments fondamentaux du candomblé, surtout en ce qui concerne sa place dans la société brésilienne, ainsi que sa relation paradoxale avec le colonialisme – c’est-à-dire les aspects d’assimilation et de transgression de la culture dominante. Ensuite, en dialogue avec la psychanalyse, nous mettrons l’accent sur les problématiques du corps et de la temporalité, qui se déploient en relation avec l’altérité. L’objectif est de laisser les voies ouvertes pour que nous puissions réfléchir à certaines provocations que ce système religieux implique pour l’expérience analytique.

To prophylax or not to prophylax? The role of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole as a prophylactic agent in systemic vasculitis: the case of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody- associated vasculitis and giant cell arteritis
Authors: Tomelleri Alessandro , Dejaco Christian , Bond Milena
Published: February 2025

Inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, including systemic vasculitis, increase the risk of infection due to immunosuppressive treatments and disease-related immune dysfunction. In this viewpoint, we focused on patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) and giant cell arteritis (GCA). We critically reviewed the literature on infectious risks and the role of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) as a prophylactic agent in these conditions. In AAV, serious infections from opportunistic (e.g., Pneumocystis jirovecii) and non-opportunistic pathogens are especially common, peaking in the first year post-diagnosis. TMP/SMX is crucial for prevention, as its use significantly reduces the incidence of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) and other serious infections. In GCA, although the risk of PJP is low, the overall infection risk is high and correlates with glucocorticoid dosage. However, evidence supporting the routine use of TMP/SMX in GCA is limited, warranting further investigation through randomized clinical trials.

Improved drought and flood management in semi-arid transboundary basins requires a better understanding of the connections between dry and wet extremes, surface water and groundwater, upstream and downstream, and local communities and formal governance actors. This study describes a multi-disciplinary and mixed-methods research in the Limpopo River Basin, southern Africa. The methodology included hydrometeorological data analysis to identify drought and flood events, group discussions with 240 local community participants about drought and flood processes, impacts and preparedness, and interviews with 36 (inter)national and regional water managers and policymakers about drought and flood governance, early warning and communication. Additionally, we co-created drought and flood management scenarios through transboundary and national workshops and modelled these with an integrated surface water-groundwater model. We found that floods are crucial for aquifer recharge, providing baseflow during droughts, but also impactful for communities, who receive less training and support for floods than for droughts. Flood early warnings (if provided) are often not acted upon because of cultural values or limited resources. Drought and flood adaptation strategies were simulated to be effective, but factors like investment and maintenance costs, technical capacity and community uptake impact implementation. Furthermore, technical measures alone are inadequate to reduce community risk if underlying vulnerabilities are not addressed. Therefore, strengthening connections between communities and formal governance actors and better transboundary management of surface water and groundwater connections could yield significant benefits.Contribution: This study provides 11 distinct recommendations for managing drought and flood risk, focussing on the four connections analysed.
Dunnigan-type Familial Partial Lipodystrophy in a North Indian Kindred
Authors: Farzana Nahid , Banerjee Sayan , Bala Anju , George Arun , Panigrahi Inusha , Dayal Devi
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD2) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the lamin A/C (LMNA) gene and is characterized by partial atrophy and ectopic deposition of adipose tissue in variable sites, and metabolic abnormalities including insulin resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemia, pancreatitis, cardiac abnormalities, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. An 11-year-old girl presented with lipodystrophic manifestations that began during childhood along with skin changes of papillomatosis and guttate hypomelanosis. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous missense mutation in exon 1 of the LMNA gene; c.29C>T (p.Thr10Ile). The disease progressed to type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hepatic steatosis. In addition, she developed severe osteoporosis which has not been reported before in FPLD2. Her younger sisters have similar manifestations but her brother and parents are asymptomatic. She is currently receiving insulin (9.5 units/kg/day), lipid-lowering drugs, and bisphosphonates. In conclusion, we report an atypical manifestation of osteoporosis in FPLD2 along with other usual classical clinical features.

La regulación de la trata de seres humanos derivada de situaciones de conflictos armados
Authors: Garbellini Filho Luiz Henrique
Published: February 2025

El artículo analiza el régimen regulatorio de la (des)protección de los derechos humanos en el combate a la trata de seres humanos derivada de situaciones de conflictos armados (TSHDSCA). Este análisis es desarrollado con foco en el Protocolo de Palermo y en su controvertida extensión a los casos de TSHDSCA. El argumento central es que existen dos campos principales de problemáticas amenazan la garantía holística e integral de los derechos de las víctimas y de las personas en riesgo de serlo. Uno relativo a los silencios sobre las particularidades de la TSHDSCA en el diseño del referido Protocolo. El otro vinculado a su enfoque estatocéntrico desdoblado en la securitización de las migraciones y en el modelo criminógeno de abordaje contra la TSHDSCA.
especulación ficticia sobre el concepto de ser humano en la era tecnológica
Authors: Monereo Atienza Cristina
Published: February 2025

La ciencia ficción es un género prolífico con potencialidad crítico-constructiva respecto a la noción y posición del ser humano en relación con el resto de seres vivos. El hecho de conformar historias especulativas sobre futuros probables en los que la tecnología ha avanzado permite introducir y profundizar sobre temas éticos, morales y jurídicos que son de plena actualidad. Más allá de las novelas que se han asociado con el movimiento transhumanista, me interesan aquellas que dentro del género reconstruyen el concepto humanista de sujeto, sin separarse totalmente de él. Entre ellas me parece relevante Onda Cerebral (Brain Wave) de Poul Anderson, una ficción excepcional para cuestionar la características definitorias y privilegiadas del ser humano frente al resto de seres vivos y conducir a la necesaria reflexión sobre los derechos. Hay dos temas significativos que quiero destacar de esta obra: el primero es nuestra sobrevaloración de la inteligencia racional y la ilusoria autosuficiencia moral humanas y, por consiguiente, la defensa del papel tan relevante de las emociones y la forzosa autonomía moral relacional que nos define; el segundo se refiere al cuestionamiento de nuestra posición privilegiada en el mundo ya que somos seres frágiles o vulnerables, seres sintientes que sufren como resto de animales. Es precisamente esa vulnerabilidad lo que hace generar lazos de empatía y compasión con el resto de animales que sienten como nosotros, y lo que puede ayudar a replantear el sentido de la Justicia social y nuestra manera de vida en comunión con la naturaleza.

La desafección política ha emergido como un fenómeno central en el panorama político contemporáneo, requiriendo una reevaluación exhaustiva y sistemática. En este contexto, este estudio propone una reconceptualización del término, abordando aspectos teóricos y metodológicos cruciales identificados a través de un análisis exhaustivo de la literatura reciente.
Exploramos finalmente cómo las emociones desempeñan un papel fundamental en la configuración de esta actitud, y cómo su comprensión podría arrojar luz sobre la creciente polarización política. Nuestro estudio destaca la necesidad de integrar estas dimensiones emocionales en la medición y análisis de la desafección política, aportando así una visión más completa y matizada de este fenómeno crucial en la ciencia política contemporánea
Protección de los derechos humanos de tercera generación a través del derecho privado
Authors: Corpas Pastor Luís
Published: February 2025

En este trabajo se resalta la importancia del derecho medioambiental y su relación con el derecho civil para la conservación y mejora del medioambiente como derecho humano a la calidad de vida. El derecho medioambiental como disciplina jurídica promueve la protección efectiva del derecho humano a la calidad de vida, regulando aspectos como la conservación de recursos naturales y la responsabilidad por daños ambientales. El derecho a un medioambiente saludable se identifica plenamente con el derecho a la calidad de vida en su conexión con la dignidad humana. Esto implica considerar el medioambiente como un conjunto de elementos interrelacionados, como recursos naturales y biodiversidad, que deben ser conservados y protegidos para garantizar un entorno sostenible. El derecho civil desempeña un papel clave al establecer la responsabilidad por daños ambientales y la reparación de estos, así como al regular la cesación de actividades dañinas y la compensación a las víctimas. Además, es fundamental revisar la legislación vigente para fortalecer estos aspectos y promover una mayor protección ambiental a través del derecho privado, incluyendo la posibilidad de acciones colectivas y la clarificación de los plazos de prescripción.

Published: February 2025

Makalah ini membahas prinsip-prinsip ekonomi Islam yang diajarkan dalam kitab "Al-Amwal" karya Abu Ubaid al-Qasim bin Salam. Kitab ini menjadi salah satu referensi penting dalam kajian ekonomi Islam, terutama terkait dengan konsep kepemilikan, distribusi kekayaan, dan transaksi yang sesuai dengan prinsip syariah. Abu Ubaid menekankan pentingnya keadilan sosial, penghindaran dari praktik riba, serta kewajiban memberikan zakat dan sedekah sebagai bagian dari sistem ekonomi Islam yang berorientasi pada kesejahteraan umat. Dalam kajian ini, penulis menganalisis berbagai pandangan Abu Ubaid terkait prinsip-prinsip tersebut serta relevansinya dalam penerapan ekonomi Islam kontemporer. Secara keseluruhan, makalah ini memberikan pemahaman mendalam mengenai dasar-dasar ekonomi Islam yang dapat diterapkan dalam konteks sosial-ekonomi saat ini.
Valorization of limestone quarry fillers in cementitious mixtures
Authors: Lyamine Briki , Belkacem Benzeroual , Noureddine Lahbari
Published: February 2025

This paper focuses on the incorporation of 0/80 mm limestone fillers in crushed sand for the production of ordinary concretes and thus studies their behavior in the fresh and hardened state. The use of limestone fillers in a cement medium will make it possible to assess their involvement in improving the mechanical properties of concretes in order to have sustainable eco-concretes. The study consists of studying the influence of the filler rate of 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24% on the rheological and mechanical properties of concretes made with crushed sands and gravels. Limestone fillers of the same nature as the aggregates improve the adhesion between paste and aggregate as well as the compressive strength. This study also aims to identify the maximum proportions that can be introduced without compromising the quality and durability of the concrete, by optimizing the granular mixture and to highlight possible beneficial effects. The principle is to compare different mortars by introducing by mass substitution to the sands additions of limestone fillers in different proportions. For each series made, characteristics on fresh and hardened mortar were measured.

Published: February 2025

Undoped and yttrium-doped manganese selenide thin films were synthesized via spray pyrolysis deposition technique for photovoltaic purposes by utilizing manganese (II) acetate tetrahydrate, selenium (iv) oxide and yttrium. The deposited samples were characterized with instruments such as X-ray diffractometry, Uv-Vis spectrophotometry, four-point probe and SEM/EDX for structural, optical, electrical and morphological analysis. The X-ray diffraction pattern for both undoped and Y-doped MgSe samples shows the presence of crystal peaks along (111), (200), (210), (211) and (300) planes indicating polycrystalline and hexagonal structural nature. Optical analysis reveals a decrease in absorbance and an increase in transmittance as the wavelength increases for all the samples. The addition of a higher percentage (0.04 mol%) of yttrium dopant narrowed the bandgap energy (1.15 eV) of the undoped MnSe, making these materials promising for solar cell fabrication. Electrical analysis reveals that as yttrium dopant concentration in MnSe increases from 0 to 0.04 mol%, the film thickness increases from 110.0 nm to 115.13 nm with increasing resistivity and decreasing conductivity of 11.68 x 10-4 to 11.68 x 10-4 Ω.m and 8.561 x 102 to 8.467 x 102 (Ω.m)-1 respectively. The overall electrical result of both undoped and y-doped MnSe conforms to that of a typical semiconductor. For the morphology result, the addition of yttrium dopant altered the microstructure of undoped MnSe. For undoped MnSe a smooth dense layer was observed while Y-doped MnSe reveals an agglomeration with no defined shape but is also dense. EDX result confirms the growth of a novel yttrium manganese selenide (YMnSe) thin material. YMnSe films offer features like narrowed band gap energy, improved charge transport characteristics and enhanced light trapping, making them potential materials for photovoltaic applications.

The Role of Dhikr in Attaining Ma'rifah and Tawhid: A Hermeneutical Approach to Islamic Spirituality
Authors: Kamarzaman Mohd Haidhar , Sharif Dziauddin , Kamaruzaman Mohd Asyran Safwan , Zulkefli Ahmad Arif
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the role of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) in attaining ma'rifah (spiritual knowledge) and tawhid (oneness of Allah) through the lens of hermeneutical analysis. Dhikr is not merely a verbal practice in Islam; it is a profound spiritual exercise that connects the heart and mind to Allah. By focusing on key terms such as "هو" (Hu), this study delves into how dhikr transcends simple utterances and serves as a pathway to deeper spiritual awareness. The analysis is structured around four key elements: interpretation of key terms, contextual examination, comparison of scholarly perspectives, and textual integration with Quranic verses and hadiths. Through hermeneutical analysis, this paper uncovers the layers of meaning embedded in dhikr and illustrates how it leads to higher spiritual states and a deeper realization of Allah's oneness. The findings highlight the importance of sincerity in dhikr and the unique spiritual rewards of remembering Allah without worldly requests.

Authors: Hassan Basim Abbas , Mohammed Yousif Ali
Published: February 2025

Conjugate gradient approaches focus on the conjugate of the coefficient. In this study, we provide an innovative coefficient conjugate gradient approach for eliminating impulse noise pictures using the Taylor series. We have suggested an intriguing conjugate gradient approach and a search strategy based on the new coefficient conjugate. We demonstrate that the suggested approach is globally convergent under the right circumstances. Our numerical findings demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique for picture restoration.
