Authors:   Irkutsk State University, Gurenkov Andrey A.
Published: March 2024

The article analyses different manifestations of linguistic redundancy in the context of intercultural communication, the participants of which are native speakers of English and non-native speakers of English. The views of Russian and foreign authors on the classification of language redundancy at the levels of language and speech, as well as analyzing examples of redundancy in spoken and written texts are presented. The result is a detailed classification of language redundancy in intercultural communication both at the level of language structure – grammatical and semantic – and in speech, where redundancy is manifested at the phonetic, orthographic, lexical and syntactic levels. In particular, it can be seen in changes in intonation in speech, pronunciation and spelling errors, lexical repetition and discourse words, the use of words from the native language or other languages, as well as in repetition of the whole sentences with a similar meaning when using similar vocabulary. Moreover, the appearance of redundancy in speech in the framework of intercultural communication is not only a natural process, but it can also serve as a tool to achieve communication goals, as it facilitates the process of speaking and listening.

Authors: Kiran D. V. , Kumar N.M.G. , Shashidhara S.M.
Published: March 2024

Power generation system largely depends on fossil fuels to generate electricity. Due to various reasons, the reserves of fossil fuels are declining and will become too expensive in near future. At the same time, generation of power from fossil fuels causes hazardous gases and particulates to emit, which pollutes the air and causes significant and long term damages on the environment. For this reason, extensive research works have been conducted for last few decades from different perspectives to reduce both the fuel cost as well as the emission of hazardous gases in power generation system. This power generation problem is commonly referred to as the combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) problem. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the uses of different optimization techniques to solve CEED problem. Authors have found advanced nature-inspired methods as the most suitable and successful, and have concluded combinational hybrid methods as the most prospective methods to solve CEED problem.

Published: March 2024

As the name suggests the aim of our paper is to enhance the generation of electricity of solar-wind hybrid generation system by using single axis solar tracker. Since the efficiency of solar energy system is less than 50%, so to increase solar energy conversion we are using single axis solar tracking system with solar panel. Since we are alternating non-conventional energy resources for conventional energy resources due to environmental reasons. Thus we have to take steps to enhance the energy conversion capacity of non-conventional energy resources so as to produce bulk electricity with less economy. That is why we are using single axis solar trackers with solar panel to increase the amount of electricity generation from solar-wind hybrid generation system to provide uninterrupted power supply for the load demand.

Authors: Izekor O. B. , Kenneth A. I. , Koledoye G. F.
Published: March 2024

Lassa fever (LF) is prevalent in Edo State, where garri, the most important cassava product, is processed and marketed. The disease spreads through practices influenced by the beliefs and traditions of garri marketers. The study examines the mythical beliefs people hold about Lassa fever. A simple random sampling procedure was used to select 192 garri marketers. A structured interview schedule was employed to elicit quantitative data, while in-depth interviews were conducted to collect qualitative data. Gross Margin was used to determine profitability, and the qualitative data were transcribed. Garri marketing is a profitable venture with a gross margin of N80,752.22 per month. A large proportion (39.5%) of the marketers never believed in the epidemic nature of Lassa fever, attributing the disease to punishment from deities. Additionally, 44.6% indicated that the government used it to secure funding from international communities, while others believed that rats are not the cause of Lassa fever. In conclusion, some marketers hold false beliefs about the reality of Lassa fever. Expanding an effective awareness campaign to dispel myths about Lassa fever is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of preventive measures against its spread.

Authors: Khairisma  , Dara Fonna Mutia , Yoesoef Yoesrizal Muhammad
Published: March 2024

This study looks at how operational revenue and wadiah demand deposits affect Bank Central Asia's (BCA) Syariah's net profit between 2016 and 2021. A total of 72 data points from monthly financial data reports from this time period make up the sample. The analysis uses the data analysis method known as Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Examining the connections between wadiah demand deposits, operating income, and net profit at BCA Syariah was the goal of this study. Customers who use wadiah demand deposits entrust their money to the bank for safekeeping as a particular kind of Islamic banking deposit. On the other side, operating income indicates the revenue from BCA Syariah's primary operational activities. The study offers important insights into the relationship between these variables by using SEM-PLS analysis. The findings show that wadiah demand deposits do not considerably affect net profit, proving that changes in these deposits do not significantly affect the profitability of the bank as a whole. But the study shows a statistically significant link between operational income and net profit. This result implies that variations in BCA Syariah's operating income have a direct impact on the company's net profit.

The Use of Stem Cells in Cardiac Pathologies: A Review
Authors: Gulati Jasmine , Zhu Mason , Gilbreth Jacob , Wang Soobin
Published: March 2024

Despite the use of pharmacological therapies, the morbidity and mortality of cardiac diseases remain high. This paper aims to review multiple promising therapies and highlight the innovative role that stem cells can play. Stem cells have been identified as a potential therapeutic alternative to current mainstay medical and surgical interventions for cardiac pathologies, as these cells possess multipotent capabilities that could aid in cardiac regeneration and remodeling without the detriment of scar tissue. Numerous studies have explored the preliminary safety and efficacy of stem cell treatments in cardiac diseases, specifically ischemic heart disease (IHD), congenital heart disease (CHD), and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). IHD studies utilized intracoronary and intramyocardial delivery of various stem cell types and found efficacy with intramyocardial delivery of autologous mesenchymal stem cells injected into infarcted cardiac tissue. Similarly, CHD studies utilized intracoronary delivery of cardiosphere-derived cells in conjunction with the well-established Norwood Procedure and found benefits in cardiac function and somatic cell growth. DCM studies in murine models and subsequent clinical trials showed that transplantation with CD34+ stem cells, a cell type marked by muscle satellite cells, improved cardiac function and increased exercise capacity when delivered via intracoronary or transendocardial transplantation methods. While these cumulative results show promise, longer follow-ups and larger sample sizes are needed to validate the efficacy of this therapeutic approach for cardiac diseases in the long term. Stem cells, when combined with existing therapies, have the potential to mitigate the grave morbidity and mortality associated with cardiac pathologies.
Analytical solutions for Bloch waves in resonant phononic crystals
Authors: Wiltshaw Richard
Published: March 2024

I will discuss the canonical problem of wave scattering by arrays of Neumann inclusions. Firstly, we consider the wavefield to be governed by the Helmholtz equation. We apply the method of matched asymptotic expansions to show how small scatterers can be modelled as singular perturbations to the free space. Analytical expressions then follow in terms of singular Green’s functions (and their derivatives), from which we can construct an eigenvalue problem to consider Floquet-Bloch waves, or we can consider scattering problems as an extension to Foldy’s method. The methods presented allow for efficient, rapid, and accurate computations.

These methods will then be applied in an elastic setting, to consider waves propagating through an elastic plate, whose surface is patterned by periodic arrays of elastic beams. Our methodology is versatile and allows us to solve a range of problems regarding arrangements of multiple beams per primitive cell, over Bragg to deep-subwavelength scales. We cross-verify against finite element numerical simulations to gain further confidence in our approach. The accuracy and flexibility of our solutions are demonstrated by engineering topologically non-trivial states, from primitive cells with broken spatial symmetries, following the phononic analogue of the Quantum Valley Hall Effect. These topologically non-trivial states exist near flexural resonances of the constituent beams of the phononic crystal and hence can be tuned into a deep-subwavelength regime.

Critical Success Factors for the Implementation of Public-Private Partnerships in Zimbabwe's State Universities
Authors: Massimo Charles
Published: March 2024

A weakness of the extant Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) literature to date has been its normative approach to the subject, creating in effect, a 'one size fits all view' of the preconditions or Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for the implementation of PPPs yet they vary with the context and sector. This study challenges the existing prominent CSFs model for the implementation of PPP which it perceives to be broader and biased towards economic infrastructure in rich industrial nations and excludes the realities of post-colonial third world countries. The research developed a refined sector-specific Educational Infrastructure Critical Success Factor Model (EICSFM) that will inform effective implementation of educational infrastructure PPPs in Zimbabwe state universities. Validated suggestions from research participants were compared to the existing model used to guide this study and results showed that some of the suggested CSFs for PPPs in Zimbabwe state universities tallies with this extant widely accepted CSFs model for PPPs, whereas some differ. The new suggested emerging sector-specific CSFs for effective implementation of PPPs in state universities include; the need for state universities to have absolute autonomy, the establishment of institutional PPP Committees, state universities to be creative and aggressive, vibrant leadership at state universities,  universities to have good business orientation, the establishment of innovative PPPs models for educational infrastructure projects (social infrastructure projects), the creation of project bankability and attractiveness to investors, the need for political will and creation of  trust. Comparing such suggestions to the extant CSFs model, the study concluded that even though some these preconditions for successful implementation of PPPs may be similar to some of the existing ones, their application is not similar but context-based. The study thus recommends governments avoid a ‘one size fits all’ perception and approach, but rather encompass sector-specific considerations when adopting and implementing PPPs as an alternative funding option for infrastructure development.

Published: March 2024

Background: Hypertension treatment coverage is low in India. A stepwise simple treatment protocol is one of the strategies to improve hypertension treatment in primary care. We estimated the effectiveness of various protocol steps to achieve blood pressure (BP) control in public sector health facilities in Punjab and Maharashtra, India, where the India Hypertension Control Initiative (IHCI) was implemented.
Methods: We analyzed the records of people enrolled for hypertension treatment and follow-up under IHCI between January 2018 and December 2021 in public sector primary and secondary care facilities across 23 districts from two states. Each state followed a different treatment protocol. We calculated the proportion with controlled BP at each step of the protocol. We also estimated the mean decline in BP pre- and post-treatment.
Results: Of 281,209 patients initiated on amlodipine 5 mg, 159,292 continued on protocol drugs and came for a follow-up visit during the first quarter of 2022. Of 33,450 individuals who came for the follow-up in Punjab and 125,842 in Maharashtra, 70% and 76% had controlled BP, respectively, at the first step with amlodipine 5 mg. In Punjab, at the second step with amlodipine 10 mg, the cumulative BP control increased to 75%. A similar 5% (76%–81%) increase was seen in the second step after adding telmisartan 40 mg in Maharashtra. Overall, the mean (SD) systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased by 16 mmHg from 148 (15) mmHg at the baseline in Punjab. In Maharashtra, the decline in the mean (SD) SBP was about 15 mmHg from the 144 (18) mmHg baseline.
Conclusion: Simple drug- and dose-specific protocols helped achieve a high control rate among patients retained in care under program conditions. We recommend treatment protocols starting with a single low-cost drug and escalating with the same or another antihypertensive drug depending on the cost and availability.

La adecuada conceptualización y aplicación de los referentes teóricos de la educación física y la actividad física, representa la oportunidad para el desarrollo de las acciones correspondientes a cada una de ellas, para de manera sincrónica y sustentable producir en la comunidad escolar y a través de ella, en la sociedad general los aprendizajes necesarios para la construcción de los estilos de vida saludables y activos, tan necesarios actualmente. La sociedad en lo general requiere de mayor claridad sobre ambos para entender su contribución e impacto en los diferentes momentos y etapas del individuo, así como de las comunidades en donde el sedentarismo cada día parece incrementarse y con ello, mayor prevalencia de factores de riesgo y enfermedades asociadas al estilo de vida sedentario. Sin duda el actuar profesional del educador físico, desde los ambientes escolares y sus diferentes acciones representa el factor de cambio para el desarrollo de una sociedad más saludable y activa, donde la clase de educación física es la base y la fuente origen de dicha conducta social.

The adversarial machine learning approaches are modelled to provide a defence mechanism during the prediction of cloning and jamming attacks launched over the wireless communication process. The transmitter is supplied with a pre-trained classifier to analyze the status of the channel based on the sensing nature and determine the other transmission process. The learning method gathers all acknowledgements and fusion made between nodes and the channel's current state to build a learning model that can accurately identify the succeeding transmission constraint caused by network jamming. In this instance, compared to random jamming procedures, an inventive anti-clone detection strategy aims to minimize the number of clones and jamming found throughout the network model. The transmitter analyzes the power restrictions over the sensor networks using the learning-based fisher score (FS). Here, an adversarial network model (ANM-FS) is fused to diminish the computational time to collect the training dataset by examining the incoming samples. With this defence mechanism, the transmitter intends to predict the false prediction rate (FPR) and design a better model for providing a reliable classifier. Systematically, the transmitter identifies the floating of attacks over the network model and adopts the defending mechanism to mislead the injected clone, enhancing the throughput and reducing the prediction error.

In this paper, we propose a novel combination of the (He) method with (Mohand transform), and this combination is summarized by representing the nonlinear part (or the residue of the operator) with (He) polynomials after applying the Mohand transform. To prove the accuracy of the proposed method, we applied it to several neutrosophic partial differential equations such as neutrosophic version of Helmholtz equation, neutrosophic version of non-linear oscillator, neutrosophic version of Burger's equation, and the neutrosophic version of telegraph equation. The accuracy and effectiveness of the application of the proposed method was verified by comparing the results obtained with other methods using the Maple software package.

This study presents the control test process to assess the bearing capacity, crack resistance, and crack opening width of the volume block ceiling slabs and the floor slab of the inter-block corridor. These parameters play an important role in ensuring the reliability and durability of buildings, especially when volumetric blocks are used in construction. The study's first phase focuses on the methodology of load-carrying capacity testing of ceiling slabs. The study's second phase focuses on the materials' crack resistance. The analysis of cracks in the material structure is a key aspect since cracks can lead to deterioration of its mechanical properties and reduced durability. The third stage of the study focuses on the crack opening width. This parameter is important in determining the criticality of cracks and their effect on structural integrity. The fourth stage of the study covers the analysis of the floor slabs of the interlocking corridor. Considering the peculiarities of loads and operating conditions in this context, tests analyzing the bearing capacity and stability of the slabs are carried out. The crack opening width reached 0.9 mm and the vertical deflections exceeded 50 mm, the deflection in the inter-block corridor floor slab before failure was about 11 mm. The test results indicate its sufficient strength, stiffness, and crack resistance. The study provides a deeper understanding of the properties and characteristics of materials used in construction and optimizes their use to improve the strength and durability of buildings.
