Reimagining Innovation Pathways: Exnovation and Buen Vivir as Global North-South Dialogues
Authors: Maldonado-Mariscal Karina , Hölsgens Rick
Published: January 2024

With growing awareness of limits to growth, debates around sufficiency and degrowth rise to prominence. At the same time, we still witness a great divide between the global ‘north’ and the ‘south’ and innovation, or lack thereof, is oftentimes seen as vital determining factor. In this article we look at two alternative approaches to innovation that place equality and sustainability at centre stage. From a global north perspective, the concept of exnovation of unsustainable practices and technologies has been gaining prominence. Whereas a global south perspective, predominantly in South America, the concept of buen vivir calls for responsible and nature-inclusive approaches to innovation and development. This article presents a reflexive approach that analyses the two alternative pathways of innovation. This study is based on a qualitative review of recent research on these two concepts. We did identify the main characteristics of both concepts in relation to four dimensions within each concept a) Technological, b) Environmental, c) Economic, and d) Social). We contextualise this analysis within theoretical debates in the global North and South in order to better understand its development and historical context, with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of alternative concepts of innovation.
Are Ideological and Partisan Affinities Determining Voters' Support of Arms Deliveries? Insights from a Large-scale Survey Experiment in France and Germany
Authors: Rudolph Lukas , Thurner Paul
Published: January 2024

The war in Ukraine raised for many parties the question how to position themselves in view of urgently requested arms deliveries. Since 2023, the topic of arms trade, which has hitherto rarely been addressed, became a heavily politicized and divisive issue, partly even polarized public opinion. A major prerequisite for parties’ position-taking is to anticipate how voters react to such arms transfers, and more specifically whether their respective attitudes are structured along the predominant left-right axis. Based on a large-scale survey experiment with French and German voters (N=6,600) in the year before the Russian invasion we are able to focus on the relationship between ideological predispositions, vote intentions and issue attitudes in a non-politicized period. Using both vignette and conjoint experiments, we demonstrate that voters’ attitudes on military transfers can be subsumed remarkably well under the left-right scale. Differentiating the impact of normative and economic considerations, the former is stronger among the left, while the latter also affects attitudes of rightist citizens. However, normative considerations are the most important concern along the whole political spectrum. The current turn of the German Green party to assist countries that are aggressively attacked due to the responsibility to protect did not reflect in our pre-2023-data.
Macroeconomic Determinants of Stock Index: A Study of NEPSE
Authors: Pandey Prakash
Published: January 2024

This research, conducted to examine the macroeconomic determinants of the stock index of Nepal, has applied the Engle-Granger cointegration to test the long-run relationship with two controlled variables—political stability index and capital mobilization through the primary market—the error correction model to determine the short-run relationship, and the Granger-causality test with lag 2 to check the causality of the variables. The data were collected from the secondary source from the years 1998 to 2020 with a sample size of n = 22 years. In the long run, broad money supply, interest rate, exchange rate, gross national income, political stability index, and capital mobilization through the primary market had statistically significant relationships with the NEPSE index; however, the relationship became positive only with the broad money supply, political stability index, and capital mobilization through primary market. Although the relationship became negative with the inflation rate, it was insignificant in the long run. In the short run, all the variables became statistically significant except for the exchange rate. The coefficient of error correction term (-1.0396) indicates that the deviation converges at the rate of 103.96% every year. The Granger-causality test showed no much stronger relationship among the variables: a unidirectional causality from broad money supply to the NEPSE index, a bidirectional causality in the case of capital mobilization through the primary market and NEPSE index, a bidirectional causality from GNI to NEPSE index, and NEPSE index not granger causing GNI.
Financial Sector-Specific Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Nepal
Authors: Sapkota Bijaya
Published: January 2024

This study examines and analyses the impact of financial sector-specific determinants on FDI inflow to Nepal. The Engle-Granger cointegration and error correction models were employed to test the long-run and short-run relationships between the dependent and independent variables using the time series data from 1994 to 2020. The Augmented Dicky Fuller (ADF) test was adopted to test the stationarity of the variables. Similarly, the Breusch-Godfrey serial correlation LM test, the Breusch-Pagan-Godfrey test, the VIF test, and the CUSUM of the square test were employed to detect the presence of autocorrelation, heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, and the stability of the model. The study's findings revealed a negative significant relation between the NEPSE index and the FDI inflow to Nepal in the short run. All other independent variables are insignificant with FDI inflow in the short run. Similarly, interest rate, broad money supply (M2), and inflation positively correlate with FDI in the long run while the NEPSE index is insignificant in the long run. Broad money supply is found to have the strongest impact on FDI inflow among the independent variables. The study's findings suggest that policymakers should keep increasing the money supply at a stable and sustainable rate maintaining a moderate level of inflation and interest rate in the economy to attract a significant amount of FDI in the fiscal years to come.

Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION Proximal humerus fractures are one very common and usually occur in elderly people. These fractures are usually associated with some degree of comminution and deformity. Therefore, good anatomical reduction of fracture fragments and early mobilization are the main component for optimal outcomes of involved limb. This study was intended to evaluate the functional outcome of proximal humerus fracture in adults managed by open reduction and internal ﬁxation (ORIF) by proximal humerus interlocking osteosynthesis (PHILOS) plate.
MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective and observational hospital based study was carried out in Orthopedics Department of Universal College of medical Sciences-Teaching Hospital (UCMS-TH) from October 2021 to September 2023. All patients with proximal humerus fractures who fulﬁlled the inclusion criteria and who underwent open reduction and internal ﬁxation by PHILOS plate were enrolled in the study. Functional outcome was assessed according to Constant murley scoring system and Visual analogue score. Post-operatively patients were regularly followed at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months.
RESULTS In this study of 60 cases, the mean age group was 55.38±11.40 years and male patients outnumbered female patients (39 males and 21 females). 36 cases (60%) were of right side and 24 (40%) were of left side. Majority of the fractures were due to fall injury (57%) followed by road trafﬁc accident (35%). The mean Constant Murley Score was 78.15±5.620 and VAS (visual analogue score) was 1.88±0.865.
CONCLUSION Open reduction and internal ﬁxation by PHILOS plate is an effective procedure providing good anatomical restoration and early mobilization in proximal humerus fracture thus providing good functional outcome.

Authors: Udaya Rejin Kumar , Sharma Deepanjali , Khan Saba , Pathak Laxmi , Chhetri Pradip
Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION Reduction in venous return caused by compression of the inferior vena cava by the gravid uterus, known as the supine hypotensive syndrome of pregnancy, is one of the reasons for particular susceptibility to hypotension at cesarean delivery. The hypotensive effect of spinal anaesthesia further exacerbates maternal hypotension in the supine position in term parturients. This study was conducted with the objective to evaluate the ability of supine stress test to predict spinal anaesthesia induced hypotension in patients undergoing elective cesarean section.
MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective observational study was done among 232 singleton parturients scheduled for elective cesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia in Universal College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital. Patients were subjected preoperatively to supine stress test and divided into two group of 116 patients each. SBP, DBP, MAP, HR were compared between two groups. Descriptive as well as inferential statistics were used to analyze the data.
RESULTS Supine stress test was positive by heart rate criteria in 50% of positive patient. The incidence of hypotension in positive test group was 73.3%, while it was 11.2% in negative test group, which was statistically signiﬁcant (p<0.001).
CONCLUSION This study demonstrates supine stress test preferably can easily identify parturients in risk of developing hypotension during cesarean section under spinal anaesthesia.

Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION Vitiligo is common acquired disease. Clinically it present with depigmented, macules and patches. Vitiligo has been shown association with many autoimmune diseases like Diabetes mellitus, Thyroid disorders, Graves disease, pernicious anemia, etc. This study was undertaken to assess the prevalence and association of diabetes mellitus and thyroid dysfunction in vitiligo patient.
MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was a case control study carried out in Dermatology Department, Universal College of Medical Sciences – Teaching Hospital (UCMS-TH) from Dec 2022 to Nov 2023. 70 cases of Vitiligo and 70 control with same sex, ages and gender matched were enrolled. All patients in both the group, we performed thyroid function test and fasting blood sugar.
RESULTS Out of 70 cases, 6 (8.6%) people has impaired FBS and 6 (8.6%) people have high T3 & T4 and 10 (14.3%) people have high TSH whereas 3 (4.3%) people have low T3 & T4 and 4 (5.7%) people have low TSH. Association with different age group in both case and control group with fasting blood sugar and thyroid function test was seen which was statistically not signiﬁcant.
CONCLUSION There were impaired fasting blood sugar and abnormal thyroid dysfunction in many cases. Therefore vitiligo patient needs to undergo thyroid function test and blood sugar level to prevent the complication.

Authors: Subhash Chandra Yadav  , Sanju Rawal  , Sadhan Mukhi  , Darshana Dhakal
Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION Multidetector Computed Tomography Urography (MDCTU) is presently considered the preferred imaging modality for the urinary tract. Advanced MDCTU enables a comprehensive assessment of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder. MDCTU is commonly employed to investigate various conditions such as renal calculi, renal cysts, congenital kidney and ureter abnormali- ties, and speciﬁc renal inﬂammatory conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnosis of various urinary tract abnormalities using MDCTU.
MATERIAL AND METHODS This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from June to August 2023, at the Department of Radiodiagnosis & Medical Imaging, Universal College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital, Bhairahawa, Nepal, examined a total of ﬁfty-nine patients. The examination protocol comprised triphasic techniques, which included unenhanced, nephrographic, and excretory phases, utilizing a MDCT scanner. The descriptive data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and presented in the form of a number and percentage.
RESULTS A total 59 patients, 32 were male and 27 were female. Mean age of patients were 44.17±15.66 years, with the majority (28.81%) falling within the age range of 20-30 years. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom (79.66%), followed by hematuria (18.64%). Urolithiasis was the most frequent diagnosis (47.46%), followed by ureterohydronephrosis (22.03%) and hydrone- phrosis (18.64%). Inﬂammatory change/infection affected 13.56% of patients, while congenital abnormalities were the least prevalent (3.39%).
CONCLUSION MDCT urography is considered the optimal modality for detecting a broad range of urinary tract abnormalities, due to its utilization of a combination of unenhanced, nephrographic-phase, and excretory-phase imaging techniques.

INTRODUCTION Various mechanisms suggest changes in hematological proﬁles of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. Similarly, alterations in hematological proﬁles have been linked with pathogenic mechanisms in Diabetes. We aim to determine hematological proﬁles of adult
MATERIAL AND METHODS This hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2020 to December 2020 at the department of Pathology and Biochemistry of Universal College of Medical Sciences. After ethical clearance (UCMS/IRC/016/20), 90 adult patients diagnosed with T2DM were considered. Both verbal and written consent was taken. Type 1 diabetics, patients with history of hemoglobinopathies, recent blood transfusion, chronic illnesses and acute infections, and whose peripheral smear showed dimorphic pictures were excluded.
The glycemic and hematological parameters were estimated. The data were analyzed using SPSS (version 20). Categorical data were expressed in frequency and percentage. Numerical data were expressed as median (interquartile range). Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the hematological parameters between patients with good and poor glycemic control.
RESULTS Among the total 90 participants, 34.4% had anemia. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) correlated positively with both Random Blood Sugar (RBS) and HbA1C. RBC count and Packed Cell Volume (PCV) were signiﬁcantly higher in patients with good glycemic control, whereas MCHC was signiﬁcantly lower in that group.
CONCLUSION High prevalence of anemia was noted in T2DM patients. RBC and PCV levels were signiﬁcantly lower in patients with poor glycemic control and MCHC levels were signiﬁcantly lower in patients with good glycemic control.
Resketching the Scope and Strength of Nation-State
Authors: Nepal Dilip
Published: January 2024

The wave of globalization and the impossibility to maintain uniformity within the nation-state, which in itself is characterized by diversities, has reframed the past status of nation-state in the contemporary globe. In this article, the author considers the scopes and strengths of nation-state are diminishing in the contemporary global order, arguing that the pervasive implications of globalization and the emergence of dissident voices within the specific geo-political territories have posed pragmatic problems in the traditional notion and stand strand of nation-state. As globalization has opened newer avenues with wider spaces of opportunities to the people all across the globe, the culture, tradition, religion, language, emotional affinity within the specified communal people, which are considered to be binding aspects of nation-state, don't sustain the same values as that used to hold in the past. The digital media and communication, advancement of transportation and the flow of knowledge and goods in the postmodern world have been key instruments to the people to transcend national boundary and promote the cross country affinity. Besides, this paper also explores and analyses how an effort to maintain uniformity in structure within particular political geography fails due to its undeniable reality of socio-cultural and economic variations among people within the same territory. If the uniformity and harmony, as assumed, are synonymous to nation-state, why are many countries suffering with civil wars? Hence, this paper attempts to record the practical problems which have created questions on traditionally elated space and scope of nation-state. Moreover, to examine and analyze this situation, the author uses qualitative method.

Situation, Risks and Prevention Strategies of Elder Abuse: A Lesson for Nepal
Authors: Nepal Narayani , Aryal Bhagwan , Poudel Bhumidatta
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this paper is to identify and summarize the body of research on elder abuse in order to offer a more thorough understanding of the topic. Specifically, the goal is to identify and discuss the situation, risks and preventive measures related to elder abuse in light of Nepal's aging population. This narrative review was conducted after searching the article databases including Google Scholar, PubMed and Nepjol. A total of twenty seven journal articles, four systematic review articles, five books, five reports, one dissertation, two national acts of Nepal, four webpage articles and one methodological journal article were reviewed during a period from September 2022 to June 2023. The narrative review in the area of elder abuse is reflected in this article. Studies have shown that several misuse hazards are higher for senior citizens. Elder abuse is any single or recurrent act that hurts or distresses an older person and takes place in any relationship where there is an expectation of trust. The aging populations of many nations, including Nepal, are growing quickly, as are the number of senior abuse incidents. There are numerous government organizations, international and national non-governmental organizations, and local bodies doing admirable work concerning the investigation of elder abuse and the provision of assistance to elder abuse victims through the sharing of research experiences and the practical implementation of various prevention strategies. However, much more needs to be done for this at-risk population group in our society. In addition to raising social security for all seniors, it is recommended that each municipality in Nepal build an Elderly Service Center.
The Meaning of Monstra in the Roman Law Tradition
Authors: Martínez Antonio Villanueva
Published: January 2024

The starting point for understanding the concept of monstra in Roman law is an etymological analysis of concepts such as prodigia, promonstra. The evolution of the latter term led to the disappearance of the prefix prod-, meaning anticipation. Monstra thus became the realisation of a miracle, that is, an event foretold by the gods, which also represented a warning and the necessity to ritually sacrifice a monstrosity in order to restore the pax deorum. In Roman law, on the other hand, the term monstra meant any being or behaviour that was contrary to the law of nature and, consequently, to civil law. This broadened the perception of the term, which originally had a more precise religious as well as legal meaning.
Badania nad przestępczością w Polsce w XX w. z perspektywy kryminologii historycznej
Authors: Siemaszko Karol
Published: January 2024

Przestępczość w XX wieku w Polsce stanowi niezwykle interesujące zagadnienie. II wojna światowa i okres komunizmu doprowadziły do głębokich przeobrażeń polskiego społeczeństwa, co rzutowało także na szeroko rozumianą przestępczość kryminalną i polityczną. Badając dwudziestowieczną przestępczość badacz napotyka wiele istotnych problemów związanych z ograniczeniami prawnym w dostępie do źródeł, a także stanem zachowania źródeł. Niemniej wydaje się że badania historyczno – kryminologiczne mogą przyczynić się do pogłębienia wiedzy na temat społeczeństwa polskiego w XX wieku.
Anonimowe międzywojenne repetytorium do nauki prawa rzymskiego
Authors: Glück Michał
Published: January 2024

Okres międzywojenny (1918-1939) stanowił intensywny etap dla rozwoju polskich Uniwersytetów, a ich odrodzenie rozpoczęło się wraz z odzyskaniem niepodległości przez Polskę. Niestety studenci prawa na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim początkowo nie mieli do dyspozycji podręcznika z prawa rzymskiego. Dlatego powstające już w latach dwudziestych opracowania w formie skryptów i repetytoriów odegrały ważna rolę w procesie nauki prawa rzymskiego. Szczególną uwagę przykuwa anonimowe repetytorium z prawa rzymskiego wydane w Warszawie, w latach 1924 i 1925 podpisane zaledwie inicjałami J.L. Tożsamość autora nigdy nie została ustalona, a anonimowe opracowanie przez pewien okres stanowiło jedyne repetytorium z prawa rzymskiego przeznaczone dla warszawskich studentów prawa. Niewątpliwie repetytoria nie mogły stanowić substytutu podręcznika. Jednak ze względu na jego wieloletni brak, nasuwa się refleksja co do ich faktycznej roli jako materiałów dydaktycznych w okresie międzywojnia.
On Wien’s peaks
Authors: Marin Ernesto , Calderón Antonio
Published: January 2024

Most Modern Physics Books contain a chapter on the Laws of Black Body radiation when introducing the principles of Quantum Mechanics. These laws govern many phenomena that we encounter in daily life, technological developments, and scientific research. For that, this old subject is still of great importance, and even now some issues require our attention. This work addresses one of these topics. We describe why it has no sense to think that the wavelength at which Planck’s black-body spectral radiance distribution plotted as a function of the wavelength has its maximum value, must be the same that the wavelength calculated from the peak value obtained when the distribution is plotted as a function of another variable, such as the energy of the photons. We will show how the issue lies in using the correct form to calculate this wavelength from measured quantities.
The isothermal process peculiarities in the presence of gas leak from a vessel
Authors: Ivchenko Vladimir Valerievich
Published: January 2024

We construct the simple mathematical model which uses only the equation of state of an ideal gas and allows one to find the relationship between the gas pressure and volume in the case of gas leak during its isothermal compression. Among other results, there may be a saturation effect of the pressure, when it remains constant under compression. We present a simple physical explanation of this effect.

From “Exile” to “Diaspora”: The Shift in Self-Identification among Refugee Latvians, 1944–2023
Authors: Plakans Andrejs
Published: January 2024

The 175,000- Latvians who fled their northeastern European homeland in the final year of World War II (1944–45) eventually resettled in some four continents and twenty different host societies. Their tasks were many, ranging from “freeing” Latvia among the politically minded to building a new life in their host societies. For some ten years after the war, their official status remained uncertain, as did the terms they used to describe themselves. Eventually, the agreed upon frame of reference became trimda (Eng. exile). It was the rare social, cultural, and polit-ical activity that was not discussed within the exile framework, and an impressive cultural superstructure was built upon it from the 1950s to the 1980s. This framework, however, became anachronistic after 1991 and the collapse of the USSR. Western Latvians could no longer claim to be in exile, but relatively few of them showed a willingness to return to the old homeland. Two decades of discussion about identity eventually led the new Latvian government and social-science researchers in Latvia to propose the term diaspora for all Latvians living outside the country’s borders. This term has been generally accepted, even by the still living World War II refugees and their descendants, who now refer to themselves as the vecā trimda (Eng. old exile) component of the diaspora.
Acts Committed by Russian Citizens in Ukraine after 24 February 2022 that May Constitute the Crime Of Genocide
Authors: Kozak-Balaniuk Iryna
Published: January 2024

Russian military aggression against Ukraine is the most flagrant violation of Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter in recent years. Crimes committed by the Russian armed forces on the territory of Ukraine constitute the most serious crimes of international concern, as confirmed by the ICC’s arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova in regard of particular acts identified by the ICC as war crimes. The crime of genocide requires a special means rea element to be met – an intent to destroy a protected group in whole or in part. The aim of this article is to analyze definition of genocide along with its elements established in the document “Elements of Crime” in the context of two forms of genocide that were committed by Russian armed forces – killing Ukrainians and forcible transfer of children of the group.
Psychological and Ideological Basis of Collaboration in the Conditions of Russian Aggression in Ukraine
Authors: Fris Pavlo
Published: January 2024

Russia’s aggression against Ukraine gave rise to many problems, including in the field of legislative regulation and protection of the most important social relations, interests, benefits and values recognized as such by the society. At the same time, actions to which the legislation did not pay due (and sometimes no) attention were included in the circle of interests. Among such objects of protection and regulation by criminal law was collaborative activity. It should be noted that not only the criminal law of Ukraine, but also the criminal law of almost all European countries did not form the concept of collaborative activity and did not determine responsibility for it. Most often, collaborative activity was covered by the concept of “treason” without any further differentiation. Even among legal theorists to this day, there is no unity in the understanding of this phenomenon. The author notes that this problem is outside the scope of this publication and is not the subject of the discussion. A number of scientific publications in the Ukrainian scientific space have been dedicated to it. This study focuses on the criminal-legal basis of the legal awareness of people who have committed the actions provided for in Art. 1111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which defines its concepts as well as psychological and ideological foundations that define it.

Stanowisko UE wobec agresji Rosji przeciw Ukrainie
Authors: Grądzka Ilona
Published: January 2024

Napaść zbrojna rosyjskich wojsk, z częściową okupacją suwerennego terytorium Ukrainy jest bezprecedensowym wydarzeniem w skali światowej. Ofiary wśród ludności cywilnej, ignorowanie potrzeby tworzenia korytarzy humanitarnych dla ludności uciekającej z terenów okupowanych przez wrogie wojsko czy przymusowe wysiedlenia można by potraktować jak scenariusz filmu wojennego. Jednak od 24 lutego 2022 r. takie wydarzenia stały się faktem i wymagają zdecydowanej reakcji potępiającej ze strony świata.
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest interpretacja rezolucji wydawanych przez Parlament Europejski od momen­tu zbrojnej agresji Rosji przeciw Ukrainie i ich wpływu na działania instytucji unijnych. Prezentowany wywód koncentruje się wokół najważniejszych zagadnień poruszanych przez Parlament w swoich rezolucjach. Artykuł stanowi analizę prawniczą sporządzoną przy wykorzystaniu metody dogmatyczno-prawnej. Rezolucje, jako akty niewiążące, zaliczane są do tzw. prawa soft law, które wydawane jest w sytuacjach wymagających doraźnych działań lub reakcji ze strony instytucji UE. Parlament poprzez swoje rezolucje pragnie zwrócić uwagę państw członkowskich i społeczności międzynarodowej na skutki, jakie wojna wywołuje w wymiarze gospodarczym i humanitarnym. W niemalże wszystkich rezolucjach Parlament potępia działania Rosji, wskazuje przypadki łamania praw człowieka i podkreśla swoją solidarność z narodem ukraińskim.
International human rights law in the era of digital disinformation and propaganda: case studies from Myanmar and Ukraine
Authors: Balcerzak Michał , Kapelańska-Pręgowska Julia
Published: January 2024

Today, more than ever, the Internet and social media have become our primary sources of informa­tion, offering us a window to the world. However, this freedom to access and disseminate information has neg­ative consequences, as it allows for a rapid spread of disinformation, propaganda, and hate speech. From the perspective of international human rights law, questions arise regarding the obligations and responsibilities of states. In this discussion, the authors argue that one of the primary tasks of states is to take necessary and ap­propriate measures to simultaneously protect the freedom of expression and prevent the spread of propagan­da and disinformation. Balancing these conflicting interests is a complex challenge. To better understand them, the authors analyse selected examples from international and domestic jurisprudence and practice, such as the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar and the war in Ukraine. These cases serve to illustrate how state-sponsored propaganda and disinformation can lead to violence and result in grave human rights violations.
Sukces małżeński w nowej odsłonie – interpretacje postbadawcze
Authors: Linek Anna
Published: January 2024

Współczesna codzienność ukierunkowana jest na realizację sukcesu, który niejednokrotnie dominuje w kreowaniu dążeń jednostki, często z egocentrycznym nastawieniem na uszczęśliwienie samego siebie. Tymczasem stworzenie długotrwałego związku małżeńskiego, czy choćby partnerskiego, skłania raczej do dwustronnych wzajemnych odniesień, które zwykle wykluczają skupienie uwagi tylko na sobie i stawiają znak zapytania w polu interpretacji tego, czym jest sukces w związku małżeńskim, co o nim dziś decyduje, co utrudnia jego realizację i wreszcie – jakie strategie wydają się najbardziej skuteczne, gdy sukces nie nadejdzie. Takie właśnie pytania postawiono, realizując projekt badawczy dotyczący m.in. pojmowania sukcesu na gruncie relacji małżeńskich i partnerskich. W celu uzyskania odpowiedzi na postawione pytania przeprowadzono badanie ilościowe na reprezentatywnej próbie dorosłych Polaków (N = 1121) zrealizowane za pomocą panelu Ariadna w okresie lipiec – sierpień 2022 roku, z wykorzystaniem metody CAWI. Pozwoliło ono na zarysowanie pewnych trendów w kreowaniu pojęcia sukcesu i jego wyznaczników oraz trudności i strategii, jakie w jego zakresie są podejmowane, a które – jak wynika z przeprowadzonych analiz, w dużym stopniu wciąż zasadzają się na tradycyjnym ujęciu aksjologicznym, choć posiadają jednocześnie pewne wyraźne tendencje wynikające z cech ponowoczesności. Wciąż aktualne pozostaje – widziane jako sukces – zbudowanie związku opartego na przyjaźni, wsparciu i miłości, z ważnym wymiarem relacji uczuciowej, ale też seksualnej. Jednak trudniej jest dziś podejmować działania na rzecz zmian własnego zachowania. Obecny jest także wysoki stopień akceptacji dla uwagi skupionej na realizacji własnych dążeń i przyjemności. Zauważono też ciekawe rozbieżności dotyczące wychowania dzieci jako ważnego wymiaru sukcesu w związku oraz liczne istotne statystycznie różnice wskazujące na rolę zmiennych społeczno-demograficznych (płeć, wiek, wykształcenie, stan cywilny, posiadanie dzieci, wiara i praktyki religijne), które różnicują respondentów w pojmowaniu podjętych w badaniu kwestii. Tym samym obraz sukcesu w związku małżeńskim wydaje się mienić różnymi odcieniami indywidualnie dobranych barw, z wyraźnym jednak tradycyjnym zarysem.

Published: January 2024

Given its role in preventing cyclone-related property damage and fatalities, effective weather forecasting is of utmost importance. Numerous methods for forecasting the weather have been developed via extensive research. To improve precise and trustworthy weather forecast techniques, however, there is a constant need. This study suggests an improved empirical methodology for forecasting tropical cyclone (TC) intensity, particularly in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) region. The study is based on an analysis of 32 cyclones that occurred between 2003 and 2019. The model predicts that TC has significantly strengthened. This article's methodology has the potential to raise forecast precision at 12-hour intervals. However, the forecast's precision decreases over time.

Sensitive images are being transmitted over insecure media as network and information technology evolve at a rapid pace. As a result, people are becoming more concerned about information security, specifically digital image protection. For securing digital images, numerous image encryption algorithms have been proposed. From that, a chaotic map has been proved a perfect image protection tool as it contains efficient random behaviour. This work proposes a novel two-dimensional sine-cosine map for developing an image cryptosystem. In the developed framework, at first, two random chaotic series are generated by the developed sine-cosine map, then the given image is divided into two blocks, and each block is confused by utilizing different chaotic key series. In the diffusion process, the chaotic series is first changed into integer form, which is applicable for executing some arithmetic operation between chaotic values and image pixels. In the diffusion phase, each confused image block pixel is converted into binary form, and a bit shifting operation is executed depending on the integer form of chaotic series. In the final process, a bit-xor operation is performed between the partial diffused image and chaotic series to obtain the final encrypted image. The proposed model's security strength will be evaluated using statistical and differential attack analysis.

Authors: Jayaprakash Poornima , Sundar Sandhiya
Published: January 2024

Importance of decision-making problems in uncertain environments cannot be overstated. Soft set theory and neutrosophic soft set theory are advanced mathematical techniques that have recently been developed to better handle these uncertain, incomplete, and inconsistent data sets. The concepts of neutrosophic soft set, neutrosophic soft matrix, and its operations are presented in this work. To compare the neutrosophic soft sets, we also provide score, certainty, and accuracy functions. Afterward, we create the neutrosophic arithmetic operator (NA), neutrosophic weighted arithmetic operator  neutrosophic geometric operator , neutrosophic weighted geometric operator , neutrosophic harmonic operator  and neutrosophic weighted harmonic operator  to aggregate the neutrosophic information. Furthermore, based on the above operators, we develop the neutrosophic multi criteria decision-making by using Laplace criterion, optimism criterion and savage criterion. Finally, a numerical example of this technique is presented to show how it can be applied and how effective it is.
