Authors: Zhang Xitong
Published: January 2024

Dark matter research has become the most challenging fundamental research topic in the current physics field. The existence of dark matter has been confirmed, and its characteristics are far beyond that of traditional particle physics. However, its mass, rotation, and interactions with other particles are still not fully revealed. Over the past few decades, theoretical and experimental studies on dark matter have made great strides. We have gained more insights and made significant progress on dark matter from previous studies, from various dark matter models to direct or indirect detections. In this paper, we will investigate the latest development of dark matter experimental research in the past few years, including detection methodology, current status, and some important experimental results, aiming to provide valuable references for future dark matter research.

Authors: Fang Le , Zhang Kun
Published: January 2024

Most vegetable products have a short shelf life and need to be restocked according to demand after being sold on the same day. Therefore, it is of great significance to accurately price and make effective replenishment decisions for vegetable products under unknown specific unit and purchase prices. This article analyzes the sales information and wholesale prices of various types of vegetables. Using the system clustering method in cluster analysis, the Euclidean distance and shortest distance are obtained based on the characteristic values between different individual products, and the sales volume correlation is classified according to their strength. Then, the chi square test and Fisher exact probability test are used to obtain the sales volume correlation based on the characteristic values between two different categories.

Authors: Li Wei , Zeng Tao , Yang Mingyue , Liu Zhongbin
Published: January 2024

In this study, the flow field of a stacked step flow device was simulated using Fluent 19.2 software. The simulation results show that: the combination of rotational motion and reverse fluidization of the fluid in the cone of the equipment makes the slurry dispersed and separated in the radial direction, and the upward motion of the fluid can promote the solid phase, especially the smaller particle size and lower density of the silica phase, to realize the separation of the copper phase and the silica phase in the axial direction; the vortex generated by the sudden change of tangential flow velocity at the step can significantly improve the settling efficiency of the copper phase in the upward process. Fluent simulation results show that: when the rotational speed is 50r/min, the feed speed is 0.5m/s, and the reverse fluidization speed is 0.018m/s, the copper recovery rate is 87.70%, and the enrichment ratio is 13.45.

Authors: Yin Jiarong , Wang Jinbiao
Published: January 2024

The study established a reactor model with a volume of 500 ml that can withstand high temperature and high pressure, and firstly used the simulation software ANSYS FLUENT 2023R1 to simulate the process of generating H2-rich gaseous products by reacting glycerol in supercritical water at a temperature of 374°C and a pressure of 23 Mpa, and the results showed that the pressure and temperature were uniformly distributed in the fluid domain of the reactor. The results show that the pressure and temperature are uniformly distributed in the fluid domain of the reactor. Secondly, according to the pressure distribution obtained from the simulated reaction, the transient dynamics and thermo-mechanical coupling field analysis were applied to the inner wall of the reactor cavity in ANSYS Workbench to study the stress displacement. Finally, the results of the two analyses are compared to conclude that the pressure field can affect the trend of stress and displacement of the reactor structure, and the temperature field at higher temperatures can increase the values of stress and displacement.

Covert Hinduism, Overt Secularism : A Postsecular Reading of the Indian English Novelistic Tradition
Authors: Vescovi Alessandro
Published: January 2024

In this book, the term “postsecular” does not denote a rejection of secularism; rather, it parallels the “post” in “post-modern” or “post-structuralist.” Vescovi argues that secularism has helped Indian fiction to reach an international audience but, at the same time, has forestalled the recognition of Hindu elements covertly woven into the narrative fabric of several modern Indian classics. His close reading is an attempt at tracing traditional elements, such as plot patterns, naming, ethics in otherwise secular narratives, countering the hegemony of rationalistic interpretive paradigms often employed by postcolonial criticism.

Authors: ANWAR A , AYAZ N , AHMAD S , HAFSA . , NAZ F , NADIR K
Published: January 2024

Typhoid Fever is a contagious disease caused by Salmonella enterica serovar typhi. It is also the cause of bloodstream infections in most of the developing countries. The pathogen can escape from the host’s immune response, a feature linked with the capsular structure of bacteria, which contributes to its virulence and is a crucial factor in the dissemination of infection. Salmonella enterica serovars are classified as typhoidal and nontyphoidal salmonella. In this review, we will discuss the ecumenical occurrence of immune strains of Salmonella enterica. We cover the mechanism of antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella, including plasmid-mediated resistance. Antibiotic resistance can occur through various mechanisms, such as deactivation of antibacterial medications, changes in therapeutic targets, and acquisition of foreign DNA coding for resistance determinants through horizontal gene transfer. Additionally, bacteria can employ different efflux pumps to resist antibiotics. These are some of the common ways in which antibiotic resistance is developed. We will explore the factors contributing to its virulence, such as the improper use of antibiotics, gene transfers, recurrent infections, and reduced host immunity. Proper hygiene practices and accurate treatment are necessary to combat typhoid disease, which can be better understood by studying its pathogenesis and diagnosis. The widal test and Typhidot test are essential for the diagnosis of salmonella. Vaccines are available against typhoid. We can overcome disease development through vaccination by choosing safe delivery methods and control strategies.

The main aim of this study was to better understand the connections between diet patterns and lifestyle choices and the development of dyspepsia providing useful insights into the impact of various dietary and lifestyle components on dyspeptic symptoms, contributing to the creation of focused interventions and recommendations for maintaining digestive health. Among the Pakistani general population, a cross-sectional study was carried out in November 2022. Demographic data, dietary lifestyle factors and frequency of dyspepsia were evaluated. An English-based questionnaire was distributed through Google form. A question related to assessing the dyspepsia frequency in participants and to examining lifestyle factors related to diet (various food consumption consisting of salty food, fast food or any beverages), alcohol consumption, smoking, use of (NSAIDS) medications and utilization of any other home remedies. The sample size of the participants was 351. An SPSS version 25 was used for data analysis. It was observed that 19% of participants were suffering from dyspepsia. Fast food, smoking, painkillers, salty food, and stress were associated with dyspepsia whereas H. pylori, consumption of alcohol and other factors are less likely responsible for dyspepsia. Dietary factors like beverages, tea/coffee, fruits/vegetables and physical activity indicate no significant relation with dyspepsia. It was observed through this study that 14% and 18 % of people were utilizing herbal medicines and home remedies for dyspepsia respectively. However, depression and inadequate sleep had a significant impact on dyspepsia. After a thorough examination of participant data, we were able to identify several significant correlations that offer important information about the possible causes of dyspeptic symptoms.
FEATURES OF USING TARGETS WITH PENETRATING RADIATION IN THE X-RAY RADIOMETRIC METHOD
Authors: Tamrazyan A
Published: January 2024

When analyzing and selecting elements using the X-ray radiometric
method, characteristic beams obtained from targets are often used as a
radioactive source of primary excitation in measuring instruments. The
geometry of targets with reflected radiation currently used in measuring
instrument sensors creates certain inconveniences, both in terms of their size
and due to the creation of additional disturbing rays of the flashlight passing
through the layer layer from the original one. source and directly includes the
detector.
These disadvantages become more obvious with X-ray radiometric
logging.
To avoid these shortcomings and inconveniences, we propose a new
approach to the use of targets, the essence of which is to use not reflected, but
secondary rays generated in the target and passing through it.
In this case, the target is placed at right angles to the radiation trajectory
of the primary source, as a result of which characteristic X-rays of the target
appear, the energy of which is less than the energy of the k-edge of absorption
of their material, pass through it unhindered and appear in the primary
spectrum, representing themselves as their analytical line. The specified
geometry of the installation is realized by simply replacing the protective layer
of the radioactive beryllium isotope with a target in the probe.

Written Corrective Feedback in EFL Context: Contextual and Individual Factors Influencing Students’ Responses
Authors: Alkhalaf Nada A , Alhojailan Ahmad I
Published: January 2024

This study explores the written corrective feedback (WCF) behaviors of English as a foreign language (EFL) students in an EFL context and the individual and contextual factors that shape these behaviors. Ten students from the English language and translation department were interviewed and their WCF behaviors were explored. The participants were aged between 19 and 23 years, and had studied at least two writing courses taught by different instructors at a Saudi University. The findings revealed that most students had positive affective attitudes toward WCF. Most of them appreciated receiving both positive and negative comments, as the former were encouraging, while the latter helped improve their writing skills. Students’ behavioral responses to WCF varied; while some students were eager to read the feedback and correct their errors, others could correct them only when a second draft was requested. Additionally, most students relied on instructors for error correction, while only a few attempted more autonomous approaches to correction using textbooks or electronic resources. This variation in behavior could be attributed to the students’ different levels of motivation to improve their writing skills and their different individual goals for the writing course. Moreover, students’ responses to WCF were influenced by contextual factors such as the type of WCF received, the instructor’s professionalism and relationship with the students, number of assignments, and time constraints.
Strategies Used in Arabic-English Translation of Idioms in Samiha Krais’s Novel Al Qurmiya
Authors: Yousef Nisreen T.
Published: January 2024

This article aims at exploring the translation strategies adopted in translating from Arabic into English the idiomatic expressions found in Al Qurmiya, a historical novel by the Jordanian writer Samiha Krais (1998/2011). Fifty-five idioms in the Arabic text have been selected and compared with their counterparts in the English text with the aim of finding out how they have been translated. Applying Mona Baker’s (2018) idioms translation model, the researcher examines the translation strategies employed in the translated version The Tree Stump by Nesreen Akhtarkhavari (2019) and analyzes the extent of their effective transference of the meanings of the selected idioms from the source language into the target language. Results show that the strategies applied in the translation are similar to those in Baker’s model and that paraphrasing is the most frequently used strategy followed by the strategy of “using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form”.

Published: January 2024

В последнее десятилетие значительные ресурсы были направлены международными компаниями и исследовательскими учреждениями на развитие нейронных сетей для компьютерного зрения, определяющих последовательность поз человека по видео. Поскольку такие данные не могут использоваться человеком непосредственно и требуют предварительной обработки появилась необходимость в разработке универсальных методов обработки последовательности поз человека. Содержание и структура результирующего сигнала таких методов зависят от конечной задачи системы, и в большинстве случаев не являются универсальными. Универсальные методы обработки, которые могут использоваться для разных задач, являются особенно ценными. В статье описывается метод обработки исходного сигнала нейронной сети, который позволяет определять тип физического упражнения. Этот метод является достаточно универсальным и может использоваться самостоятельно или как один из этапов решения пользовательской задачи. Одним из примеров применения метода является автоматическое измерение длительности упражнений на протяжении сеанса занятия спортом. Другим примером является определение типа упражнения в случае, когда эта промежуточная информация нужна перед применением алгоритмов подсчета количества итераций этого упражнения.

Medical history, CT scans and demographic information of patients was obtained from hospital records after taking data collection permission from hospital. Results: A low level of HDL-C was identified in 126 patients (64%) according to the study's results. When the HDL-C values of ischemic stroke patients were compared using the Chi-Square Test, the p value obtained was 0.0001. Conclusions: The majority of ischemic stroke patients had low serum HDL-C levels. This study suggests an association of low serum HDL-C levels with susceptibility or risk for ischemic stroke.

Between Past and Present: Unravelling Colonialism’s Enduring Impact in The Wandering Falcon
Authors: Toqeer Ahmed
Published: January 2024

In my exploration of the profound and enduring impacts of colonialism on the nomadic tribes of Baluchistan and the tribal areas of Pakistan, I draw from Jamil Ahmad’s The Wandering Falcon and insights from postcolonial theorists. My study illuminates the tribes’ persistent struggles for recognition, representation, and basic rights. These tribes, once proud custodians of their distinct cultural heritage, now confront challenges from modern encroachments, political marginalisation, and economic hardships, all deeply rooted in colonial legacies. The imposition of foreign legal systems, combined with the pervasive influence of modern media, has led to a noticeable erosion of their traditional social structures and values. The economic consequences of colonialism in the region are stark, with aggressive resource extraction and the demarcation of artificial borders disrupting their economic foundations. My research underscores the tribes’ enduring struggles, emphasising the contemporary relevance of these colonial legacies. As these tribes grapple with modern challenges, I stress the importance for policymakers to recognise and address these colonial legacies, advocating for a more inclusive and equitable future. In conclusion, my research suggests the need for additional exploration into the intersections of colonialism, gender dynamics, and identity within the nomadic tribes of Baluchistan and the tribal areas of Pakistan, while advocating for the formulation and implementation of strategies that empower these tribes, ensuring that their concerns are met with both empathy and efficacy.Keywords: Colonialism, nomadic tribes, marginalisation, Baluchistan, traditional lifestyles
Manto's "Toba Tek Singh" and the Politics of Translation

translating a source text into a target language. Furthermore, the current study compares three English translations of the short story “Toba Tek Singh” by Saadat Hasan Manto by three translators from three different countries: Khalid Hasan, Khushwant Singh, and Frances W. Pritchett. These three translations are analyzed from three different geo-cultural perspectives, that is, Pakistani, Indian, and Anglo-American. In our research, we have combined the general conventions of translation with the insights emerging from CDA, particularly Van Dijk’s notion of media discourse. The translations are examined with regard to such aspects as addition, omission, modulation, and faithfulness. This study reveals serious compromises on faithfulness in Hasan’s and Singh’s translations. This can possibly be attributed to the geopolitically volatile climate in which both of these translators must have conceptualized their target text. However, Pritchett appears to be largely successful in maintaining faithfulness to the source text and her translation is by and large more skilled and is only negligibly marked by ideological inventions.Keywords: CDA, faithfulness, manipulation, political ideology, translation
Female Gothic, Modernity and the Aesthetics of Change: Demythologising the South in Eudora Welty
Authors: Shabbir Ahmad  , Khadija Khalid  , Azra Khanam
Published: January 2024

Eudora Welty, an American fiction writer, brings forth women’s issues and promotes feminist ethics in her writings: novels and short stories. Her stories reveal her concern with the extended subordination of women under machismo in Southern America. More significantly, her work highlights the growth of women’s liberal thinking during the development of modernity in the southern parts of America. She looks at the change in time and thought under modernity to examine the local culture and literature with a critical eye on the strict gender order in the South. Her fiction explores varied forms of oppression in marriage, kinship, and community structure of the changing South through female Gothicism. In depicting her female characters as fleeing spatial confinement for freedom and self-transformation, Welty develops an aesthetic of mobility that threatens the mythologized constructions of Southern culture. This eventually leads to a reactionary modernism that calls for the redefinition of identity and culture in the history of Southern America. For centuries, the South has been considered the most segregated, white-centric patriarchal society due to its particular culture, geography and history. The change in thought and culture caused by modernity becomes a threat to the customary plantation business as well as to the conservative male hierarchical order as it engenders a revision of women’s identity. This study may help in further research on Gothic literary studies in combination with discourses on culture and women’s identity in literary works.Keywords: Female Gothic, mythologized culture, modernity, Southern America, women’s identity

Published: January 2024

Financial fraud, especially in credit card transactions, is a growing concern. To tackle this, data mining techniques are used to automatically analyze large and complex financial datasets. Detecting credit card fraud is tricky because the patterns of normal and fraudulent behavior keep changing, and the data about fraud is much less common compared to legitimate transactions Several techniques were tried on a dataset from European cardholders, including Decision Tree, Random Forest, SVC, XGBoost, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Logistic Regress The dataset had information from 284,786 credit card transactions. To address the challenges, six advanced data mining approaches (Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Classifiers, Decision Tree, Random Forests, and XGBoost) are evaluated. A comparative analysis is conducted to identify the best-performing model.
The current situation of forming number symbols for children aged 3-6 according to the Montessori Method in independent preschool education institutions in Tuyen Quang City
Authors: Thi Huong Nguyen
Published: January 2024

This study examines the current situation of forming number symbols for children aged 3-6 using the Montessori Method in independent preschool education institutions in Tuyen Quang city, Tuyen Quang province. Survey results indicate that the awareness level of number symbols among children using the Montessori Method is primarily at an average and weak level. The main reason is that most preschool teachers struggle when using specialized math teaching aids and when planning math lessons for children, relying solely on the researched curriculum content for preschool teachers, uniformly designed for all children of the same age without considering differences in abilities, strengths, speeds, etc., to create the most suitable learning program for each child. This approach leads to a situation where children find lessons boring due to teacher requirements being either too low or too high. As a result, the author proposes several measures to form number symbols for children aged 3-6 using the Montessori Method in the surveyed area.
A qualitative study to explore the immediate effects of cyclone Freddy on vulnerable learners education in Malawi
Authors: Kafulatira Grace
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore and identify effects of Cyclone Freddy on vulnerable learners in the flood prone areas both at primary and secondary school levels. Methodology: This study used a qualitative study method, which depended on mostly secondary data, using online interviews, reviews of online news articles, social media postings and United Nations reports and observations. Data was collected from the most affected areas of Blantyre Urban, Phalombe, Mulanje, Nsanje and Chikwawa districts. Purposive and convenience sampling was applied to the education institutions to get a deeper understanding of the phenomenon. The study also targeted teachers, parents, and students of the affected schools in the districts. The tools for collecting data were questionnaires using face to face interviews, focus group interviews which mostly included observations. Information was coded and participants in this study were assured of for anonymity and confidentiality. Results: The results of the research provide a better understanding of the impacts of cyclones on education systems and possibly give pointers in terms of preparedness of education systems to cope with disasters of the same magnitude in future. Additionally, due to lack of rapid response on Psycho Social First Aid (PFA), a lot of the victims succumbed to trauma and depression. This made the go back to school campaign very difficult especially for the most vulnerable communities. Contribution to theory and practices and policy: The research findings validates the theory of disaster preparedness that exhaust all areas of rapid response as a recovery strategy, such as evacuation, supply of immediate basic needs in the areas of shelter, food, beddings and psycho-social support especially (PFA). The Government (DODMA) through Ministry of Education and other line Ministries, the donor communities and implementing partners should embark on harmonizing efforts for disaster preparedness and recovery strategies to speed up operations. Watt, (2019), suggests that, while it is a requirement to take pro-active measures to put in place realistic strategies for future natural disasters, education should also be taken as a priority in the recovery strategies.
