Authors: Zambiazi Priscila Jussiane , Lazar Dolores Ribeiro Ricci , Otubo Larissa , de Souza Rodrigo Fernando Brambilla , Oliveira Neto Almir , Chaves Guedes-Silva Cecilia
Published: May 2024

In this study, we present a novel approach for the exfoliation of titanium nitride (TiN) powders utilizing a rapid, facile, and environmentally friendly non-thermal plasma method. This method involves the use of an electric arc and nitrogen as the ambient gas at room temperature to generate ionized particles. These ionized species interact with the ceramic crystal of TiN, resulting in a pronounced structural expansion. The exfoliated TiN products were comprehensively characterized using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. Remarkably, the cubic crystal structure of TiN was effectively retained, while the (200) crystal plane d-spacing increased from 2.08 to 3.09 Å, accompanied by a reduction in crystallite size and alterations in Raman vibrational modes. Collectively, these findings provide compelling evidence for the successful exfoliation of TiN structures using our innovative non-thermal plasma method, opening up exciting possibilities for advanced material applications.

Evaporable indano[60]fullerene ketone (FIDO) was converted to indano[60]fullerene thioketone (FIDS) in high yield by using Lawesson's reagent. Three compounds with different substituents in para position were successfully converted to the corresponding thioketones, showing that the reaction tolerates compounds with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents. Computational studies with density functional theory revealed the unique vibrations of the thioketone group in FIDS. The molecular structure of FIDS was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Bulk heterojunction organic solar cells using three evaporable fullerene derivatives (FIDO, FIDS, C60) as electron-acceptors were compared, and the open-circuit voltage with FIDS was 0.16 V higher than that with C60.

Authors: Ani Iryani  , Linda Jati Kusumawardani  , Tamara Mahda Destiani
Published: May 2024

Aluminium metal has corrosion-resistant properties, light and easy to obtain, so it is widely used as a raw material for making soft drink cans. The aluminium content in used cans can be more than 90% and it can be used as raw material for making zeolite. In this study, zeolite was synthesized, and its performance was tested as an adsorbent of water-soluble (Congo red) and water-insoluble (Naphthol blue black) textile dye waste. The method used in this study includes three stages, namely (1) synthesis of zeolite from waste cans as a source of Al and waterglass as a source of Si, (2) characterization of zeolite produced using XRD, FTIR, and SEM, and (3) performance test of zeolite on Congo red and Naphthol blue black dyes with adsorbent weight variation: 0.1 to 0.5 gram in 10 mL of a prepared sample at a concentration of 20 mg/L; contact time variations: 30 to 120 minutes at a speed of 150 rpm; pH variations: 5, 7, and 9; and variations in the initial concentrations of dyes of 10 to 40 ppm. The decrease in dye concentration was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The Al content in the used cans obtained is 96.5%. The zeolite was successfully synthesized, and the yield obtained from the zeolite formation reaction was 92.67%. XRD characterization results show the diffraction pattern of a mixture of zeolite-X and zeolite-NaP1 with an average crystal size of 24,08 nm. The purity of the synthetic zeolite for zeolite X was 55.44% and zeolite Na-P1 was 44.53%. FTIR characterization shows the intensity of functional groups T-O, T-O-T or O-T-O, and T-H, where T is Si or Al. Characterization by SEM, synthetic zeolite has the same morphology as Faujasite zeolite. The maximum adsorption capacity of zeolite on Congo red and Naphthol blue black was 321,2921 mg/g and 77,5354 mg/g based on Freundlich isotherm. The optimum conditions for adsorption of Congo red and Naphthol blue black dye were at 0,4 gram and 0.1 gram of adsorbent weight, 30 minutes of contact time, 5 and 7 of pH and 40 mg/L initial concentrations of dyes.

Authors: Fatin Fazira Abd Karim  , Shaza Eva Mohamad  , Koji Iwamoto
Published: May 2024

Chicken manure contains a high concentration of nitrogen and phosphate, which can be used to replace microalgae commercial medium. Cultivating microalgae by using chicken manure as the nutrients can reduce culture cost. The aims of this research are to study the effect of different concentrations of chicken manure on the growth of algae, Chlorella vulgaris and Haematococcus pluvialis. The concentration of omega-3 fatty acids in C. vulgaris and astaxanthin in H. pluvialis was determined by cultivating C. vulgaris and H. pluvialis in Bold Basal medium and Rudic`s medium respectively and compared with chicken manure medium (CM). The highest concentration of omega-3 fatty acid was obtained in C. vulgaris 14.8% in 10% of CM due to depletion of nitrogen which causes the increase of fatty acid production in the microalgae. In H. pluvialis, 50% of CM gave the highest concentration of astaxanthin produced (0.082 mg/mL) in H. pluvialis due to low concentration of phosphorus in the medium for astaxanthin production. In comparison to nitrate, phosphorus concentration had a more significant impact on astaxanthin synthesis in H. pluvialis. In this research, effective culture of C. vulgaris and H. pluvialis were shown using nutrients i.e., CM instead of commercial medium to obtain the valuable products.

Impact of Financial Repression on the Economy of Bangladesh
Authors: Yousuf Md.
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The study's objective is to examine the impact of financial repression on Bangladesh's economy. Moreover, the impact of individual policy tools such as real deposit rate, interest rate restriction, capital account control, share of state-owned commercial bank in total advances, and statutory liquidity ratio will be investigated to find the specific policy that hampers economic activities.
Method: The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method, originated by Pesaran and Shin (1999) and expanded by Pesaran, Shin, and Smith (2001), will be used to look at the long-term relationship. The study uses time series data for Bangladesh's economy from 1973 to 2022.
Results: The findings of the ARDL approach confirm that repressive policies reduce economic growth over the sample period, and the effect becomes weaker after liberalizing the foreign exchange market. However, among the repressive policies, interest rate restrictions, statutory liquidity ratio, and the share of the state-owned bank in the commercial banks have significant adverse effects on economic growth.
Implication: Policymakers should take proper measures to liberalize the financial sector to boost economic activity. The interest rate restrictions, which are already in effect and hamper the fair functioning of the loan market, should be withdrawn.

Panus is a typical wood-rotting fungi, which plays considerable roles in ecosystems and has significant economic value. The genus Panus currently consists of more than 100 species; however, only eight species have been reported from China. This study aims to distinguish and describe two novel species from the Panus similis complex, namely Panus minisporus and Panus baishanzuensis, one new record species from Zhejiang Province, Panus similis and three common species, Panus conchatus, Panus neostrigosus and Panus rudis, based on detailed morphological and phylogenetic studies, relying on Chinese specimens. Panus minisporus is characterised by its reddish-brown pileus, decurrent lamellae with cross-veins, slender stipe, smaller basidiospores, wider generative hyphae and absence of sclerocystidia. Panus baishanzuensis is featured by its pileus with concentric and darker ring zone, decurrent lamellae with cross-veins, shorter stipe, longer basidiospores, diverse and shorter cheilocystidia and smaller sclerocystidia. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, large subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (nLSU) and translation elongation factor 1-α gene (tef-1α) were employed to perform a thorough phylogenetic analysis for genus Panus and related genera, using Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood analysis. The results indicate that Panus minisporus and Panus baishanzuensis form two independent clades within the Panus similis complex themselves. Detailed descriptions, taxonomic notes, illustrations etc. were provided. In addition, a key to the reported species of Panus from China is also provided.

Secure Data Transmission in the WSN Sector Utilizing a Heuristic Multi-Level Clustering Mechanism With Dynamic Trust Computation
Authors: R. Uma , Ramkumar P. , Anitha Ruth J. , Valarmathi R. , Vinola C.
Published: May 2024

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) utilize a network of small sensor nodes to collect, process, and report observed data back to a central location. A multi-trust paradigm based on hierarchical clustering is implemented in the WSN network to address these concerns. This model is to calculate the trust value for carrying out the safe transmission between the huge sensor nodes that make up the network. In this case, energy trust, communication trust, and data trust all contribute to the multi-trust process. This multi-trust is then compared to a threshold value, if it is more than the threshold, the corresponding node is disregarded or eliminated. It tends to establish multi-level clustering for security enhancement because of the increased multi-trusting. Modified exploration-based pelican optimization algorithm (ME-POA) is used to obtain the most important feature of CH. Finally, the performance is evaluated using multi-objective functions, with distance, latency, energy, and multi-trust serving as the parameters.

Authors: Tennakoon Nimasha , Senaweera Oshada , Dharmarathne H. A. S. G.
Published: May 2024

This study presents a novel approach for a movie recommendation system that uses the emotions of a user to recommend movies. To detect user emotions, the system uses both facial expressions and text analysis. To detect facial expressions, several types of pre-trained models were re-trained and evaluated using benchmark datasets (FER2013). The ResNet50 model which has the highest accuracy of 73% was selected as the final model. For text analysis, several classical machine learning models (SVM, RF, MNB) and deep learning models (LSTM, Bi-LSTM, BERT, BERT+CNN) were trained and evaluated for their effectiveness in classifying emotions (using ISEAR). The BERT+CNN model with an accuracy of 78% was ultimately chosen for its high accuracy and efficiency in handling textual data. Final emotion derived by applying soft voting ensemble technique to the results of facial expression model and the text analysis model.For making the recommendations, the study incorporated content-based and collaborative filtering techniques to recommend movies based on the users’ emotional state. Both methods were combined and adjusted based on the user’s emotional state, resulting in more personalized movie recommendations.To assess the efficiency of the proposed system, feedback was collected from ten users and analyzed. The final system received positive feedback from seven of the ten users. This indicated that the proposed system has the potential to enhance user experience by providing more personalized and relevant movie recommendations based on their emotional state.

Authors: Hemdani Ruchi , Rajput Gopalsing Rameshsing , Chattejee Manas
Published: May 2024

Introduction:

Dermatophytoses have emerged to become an important cause of morbidity and embarrassment due to their symptomatology and chronicity especially post application of topical steroid or combination creams containing steroids which has led to atypical presentation, delay in diagnosis and prolonged treatment with frequent relapses.

Objectives:

To describe socio demographic profile and various factors associated with dermatophytosis which vary as per topical steroid/ combination application history.

Methods:

200 patients with clinically diagnosed tinea corporis, tinea cruris and tinea faciei were randomly selected from the Dermatology outpatient department of tertiary care hospital in Mumbai from Jan 2018 to Jul 2019. A detailed clinical history was recorded in all cases. Both the sexes and all ages were included in this study. Immunocompromised patients, patients with diabetes, secondary infection were excluded in this study.

Results:

Topical steroid/ combination use was more commonly seen in the age group 31-45 years with most patient self medicating themselves and having used it for less than four weeks. Majority of the patients were housewives and students. Longer duration, recurrence and previous history of tinea was seen among patients who had applied topical steroid/ combination. It was seen that a large number of patients are using these steroid/combination therapy as first line treatment and it leads to perpetuation of their condition.

Conclusion:

The present study highlights socio demographic profile and various factors associated with dermatophytoses which vary as per topical steroid/ combination application history.

Au Maroc comme ailleurs, la représentation de la femme au sein des assemblées élues peine à s’affirmer. Au-delà du débat classique centré sur la promotion culturelle de l’image féminine, il est temps que soit prêtée une attention particulière à la reconfiguration du système électoral, comme levier indispensable à l’émancipation politique de la femme. Hésitant longtemps entre les manettes: juridique et culturelle, le décideur se doit d’actionner en urgence la première, moyennant la mise en place d’un mode de scrutin aussi proportionnel que possible. Optant ainsi pour un découpage du territoire en grandes circonscriptions à magnitude élevée, réduisant au strict minimum le gaspillage des voix, maintenant le seuil à un niveau raisonnablement élevé, et décrétant l’usage des listes bloquées, le législateur garantirait une présence féminine honorable sur l’arène de la compétition électorale.
valor fundamental del derecho de acceso del artículo 105 b de la Constitución española y su relación con la transparencia algorítmica
Authors: Adnane Rkioua Abdelhamid
Published: May 2024

No se le oculta a nadie que el uso normalizado de la inteligencia artificial, y de los algoritmos han impactado, por lo general, positivamente en la vida del ser humano. Suponen un plus de eficacia y de eficiencia en las labores desarrolladas tanto por los entes públicos como privados. Su capacidad in creciendo en materia de predicción, análisis y evaluación, en diferentes sectores de la vida, son innegables en cuanto suponen una mejora del bienestar individual y colectivo apuntado por la Constitución. En este contexto se insiste en la falaz auto-referencialidad de los procesos tecnológicos evitando de este modo cualquier tipo de control valorativo sobre los mismos, y por ende la posibilidad de someterlos al escrutinio público. Argumento funcional o útil en términos pragmáticos ya que puede surtir efectos ante los interlocutores reales o potenciales, pero en absoluto puede considerarse como racional ya que anula cualquier condición de la comunicación misma y en consecuencia de la argumentación. El derecho de acceso al algoritmo y a su código fuente tiene sobrada apoyatura en la norma fundamental. Ante el retraso del legislador en regular de modo cabal el uso de esta tecnología reconociendo nuevos derechos, la labor interpretativa que pueda realizarse en sede judicial y/o doctrinal no resultaría a nuestro juicio ayuna de razón ni huérfana de antecedentes que la sustenten. Una interpretación finalista del derecho de acceso permite sostener la conexión dable entre el derecho de acceso a los algoritmos y el derecho a libertad de información en cuanto su ejercicio haría más transparente el Estado.
despertar de las máquinas”
Authors: Aguilar Blanc Carlos
Published: May 2024

La posible creación de formas de Inteligencia Artificial cada vez más cercanas, equivalentes o superiores a la inteligencia humana, nos plantea nuevos y complejos dilemas ético-jurídicos. Dada la creciente sofisticación de la IA, resulta crucial investigar si cabría dotarla de estatus moral y jurídico, y cómo ello se manifestaría en el reconocimiento de derechos y deberes para los entes artificiales. El objetivo es determinar las consecuencias iusfilosóficas derivadas del reconocimiento de derechos a la IA avanzada en relación a los fundamentos de los derechos humanos. Tras el necesario análisis conceptual, se concluye que se requiere un nuevo paradigma ético-jurídico que reconcilie cautamente unos hipotéticos derechos de las entidades con IA con los derechos de la especie humana.
Tarantino
Authors: Fernández de la Peña Miguel
Published: May 2024

El cine de Tarantino recurre constantemente a la violencia, pero lo hace tomando en cuenta ciertos elementos que la justifican a ojos del espectador. Aunque sus protagonistas hacen uso de ella, asumen que deben limitarla según recomienda la legítima defensa o la merecida venganza, diferenciándose de su uso indiscriminado por parte de los antagonistas. Puesto que la realidad resulta desagradable, Tarantino reescribe la historia como el Dios vengador que impone su justicia sobre el mundo. Para que esto sea posible, la violencia aparece como un instrumento que construye una nueva realidad que redime a aquellos que lo merecen.
nuevo paradigma ecológico en clave política
Authors: León Jiménez Fernando
Published: May 2024

Los retos ambientales a los que se enfrenta la humanidad son generales, graves y acuciantes, siendo el cambio climático la etapa final de este fenómeno. Los métodos tradicionales para afrontar el problema no darán resultado según confirma la experiencia. El objetivo de este trabajo es plantear un nuevo enfoque político para abordar del problema. Partiremos de los postulados generales del paradigma ecológico, una nueva corriente de pensamiento directamente enfocada en el problema, sin perjuicio de un planteamiento holístico de toda la realidad. De estos principios extraeremos sus consecuencias políticas en clave de principios básicos, que son los adecuados para solucionar con la debida premura el problema.

¿La clase hace a la urbe? Trabajadores y espacialidad en Santa Fe y Rosario a principios del siglo XX
Authors: Franco Andrea Sol , Duarte María Josefina , Álvarez Carlos
Published: May 2024

La consolidación del proceso de acumulación capitalista encontró en Rosario y Santa Fe polos de atracción privilegiados por sus dinámicas demográficas y productivas. Allí, la clase trabajadora fue modelando formas organizacionales, de ocupación y apropiación, tanto material y simbólica, del espacio público en interacción y resistencia con los modelos productivos y urbanísticos impulsados por las élites. A partir de diversas fuentes daremos cuenta de manera comparativa y relacional las implicancias de la construcción y apropiación de una espacialidad en vinculación con los procesos identitarios de la clase trabajadora santafesina y rosarina de inicios del siglo XX.

Independent topical structures identification: Theoretical approach and proof-of-concept study
Authors:   LMU University of Munich, Germany, Spies Marcus
Published: May 2024

This paper introduces a new approach to the identification of topical structures from text data using independent component analysis (ICA). The approach resembles current probabilistic topic modelling approaches in some respects, however introduces an axiomatic definition of topic structures as independent feature functions over a given vocabulary. In addition, the identification of such structures from data is decoupled from estimates of topical compositions of the training documents. Considerations motivating these choices are discussed, and a proof-of-concept study on a small corpus is presented to demonstrate feasibility and interpretative features of the approach. As computational approach to ICA, a method based on distance covariance is used.

Kebijakan Dasar Pertanahan yang menetapkan tanah sebagai Karunia Tuhan Yang Maha Esa diatur dalam Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria adalah mengenai bumi, air dan ruang angkasa dalam wilayah Negara Republik Indonesia harus selalu dilandasi persatuan kesatuan bangsa untuk sebesar-besarnya kemakmuran rakyat, Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan tipe penelitian hukum Yuridis Normatif, yaitu suatu jenis penelitian hukum dengan menguraikan suatu permasalahan hukum dengan menganalisis suatu hukum serta melalui peraturan Perundang-Undangan, literatur yang dapat diperoleh melalui studi kepustakaan. Pelaksanaan Tahapan sinkronisasi Penetapan Peta Lahan Sawah yang Dilindungi (LSD) dengan Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW) Kabupaten/Kota, Sering terjadinya alih fungsi lahan sawah di Indonesia mendorong pemerintah untuk melakukan upaya perlindungan eksistensi lahan sawah untuk menjamin ketersediaan lahan sawah sebagai bentuk hak menguasai dari negara. Oleh karena itu, melalui Peraturan Presiden Nomor 59 Tahun 2019, pemerintah mengamanatkan untuk percepatan penetapan peta lahan sawah yang dilindungi sebagai bentuk perlindungan eksistensi lahan sawah. Dalam praktiknya, terjadi ketidaksesuaian antara peta lahan sawah yang dilindungi dengan rencana tata ruang wilayah suatu daerah, penetapan peta lahan sawah yang dilindungi melalui tiga tahapan yaitu verifikasi lahan sawah, sinkronisasi hasil verifikasi lahan sawah, dan pelaksanaan penetapan peta lahan sawah yang dilindungi, kedua, sinkronisasi peta lahan sawah yang dilindungi dengan rencana tata ruang wilayah dapat dilakukan melalui permohonan dikeluarkannya lahan dari peta lahan sawah yang dilindungi selama memenuhi kriteria dalam Petunjuk Teknis Kementerian Agraria dan Tata Ruang/Badan Pertanahan Nasional Nomor 5/Juknis-HK.02/VI/2022 dan selanjutnya dilakukan perubahan peta lahan sawah yang dilindungi oleh perangkat daerah, ketua tim pelaksana, dan tim terpadu untuk terwujudnya sinkronisasi antar peraturan
