THE CAUSE-AND-EFFECT PRINCIPLE: OPACITY OF SLAVERY IN TONI MORRISON’S BELOVED
Authors: SANTHOSH S. LAKSHMAN , MAHALAKSHMI S.
Published: July 2024

When Toni Morrison embarked on her exploration of slavery, she grappled with two crucial inquiries. The first question delved into the resilience of her nation in enduring the unimaginable cruelties inflicted upon them. The second question probed the conspicuous absence of any mention in European historical records regarding the origins of the slave trade and the subsequent forced migration. The novel is a fearful picture of how bestiality and cruelty could come together to question the crude practices of sexual exploitation, emotional breakdown and physical torture in the name of developing the Western economy. The paper is an attempt to look at the circumstances that gave way to the genesis of one of the most important forerunners of slavery and its repercussions.

Authors: Fan Hongbo
Published: July 2024

To enhance the accuracy of quadrotor UAV navigation systems in dynamic environments, we propose an attitude calculation method based on an acceleration correction model. This model estimates and corrects non-gravitational acceleration from the accelerometer, reducing its impact on attitude calculation. Experimental results demonstrate that this algorithm effectively mitigates non-gravitational acceleration interference and significantly improves the accuracy and anti-interference capability of UAV navigation systems.

Transformational-Generative Theory Perspective in Teaching The Four Language Skills of Arabic
Authors: Jundi Muhammad , Nabila Nabila
Published: July 2024

Language, as a communication tool, has drawn the attention of linguists to research and discover new theories about language. The Transformative-Generative Theory by Noam Chomsky is believed to have revolutionized the development of linguistics. This theory holds that human language ability is not a natural product, but an innate potential in humans since birth. This article examines how Arabic language learning can be viewed through the lens of the Transformative-Generative Theory. The research method used in this study is a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Regarding language learning from the perspective of the transformative-generative theory, the four language skills are emphasized as follows: 1) listening comprehension, which requires language acquisition-based activities; 2) speaking, which relates to language creativity; 3) reading, which is related to competence and performance; and 4) writing, which is related to surface and deep structure. These concepts can be applied to writing instruction in analyzing and producing texts.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to explore students’ perspectives on the relevance of learning ushul nahwu in the modern era. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with data collection methods through interviews and questionnaires involving all students who had taken the course. The results showed that most students considered ushul nahwu theoretically important, especially for prospective Arabic language teachers, but they felt the ushul nahwu material needed to be revised to be more relevant to modern needs. Although most students recognized the benefits of ushul nahwu in understanding Arabic grammar, only a small number felt that the course provided practical benefits in their Arabic language skills. Some students have difficulty understanding the concepts of ushul nahwu and applying them in Arabic language learning. Overall, the results indicate the need for a review of the ushul nahwu curriculum to better suit the needs of Arabic language learning in the modern era, with an emphasis on practical aspects and relevance to the times.

Examining Indonesian Government Policies in Tackling Deforestation: Balancing Economy and Environment
Authors: Mahendra Januar Rahadian , Aldyan Rizal Akbar , Emovwodo Silas Oghenemaro
Published: July 2024

The Indonesian government has implemented specific measures that have negatively impacted the environmental sector to enhance economic growth. In response to worldwide pressure and growing internal awareness, the Indonesian government implemented "pro-environment" policies by endorsing many international and regional accords and revising legislation. This article examines the Indonesian government's policy orientation in addressing deforestation, specifically whether the strategy prioritises economic or environmental considerations. Through the utilisation of normative juridical research methodologies, a statutory approach and a case approach, it was determined that the policies issued by the Indonesian government conflict with one another. These policies encompass several issues. Firstly, granting Forest Concession Rights, which should ideally prioritise forest sustainability, unfortunately, leads to extensive forest destruction. Secondly, the haphazard granting of concession permits is another concern. Lastly, the MP3EI and MIFEE programmes conflict with Law Number 32 of 2009, resulting in a significant loss of 76% of peat land in Papua. Furthermore, the lack of robust law enforcement regarding deforestation also exacerbates the accelerated pace of deforestation. Thus, it is evident that the Indonesian government is giving more importance to the economic sector than the environmental sector.

The relationship between demographic variables and economic growth has been studied extensively, revealing complex and varied interactions. This research aims to investigate the impact of demographic variables on economic growth in Dairi Regency, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, during the period 2011-2022. We apply the multiple regression method to test its effect on economic growth. The research results show that population growth has a negative impact on economic growth. Meanwhile, the human development and labor force variables do not significantly impact economic growth. This finding indicates that a high population growth rate can reduce the economic growth of a country, especially in developing countries.

REVIEW: THE CRIME DECLINE, MASS INCARCERATION, AND SOCIETAL WELL-BEING
Authors: S. Ulen Thomas
Published: July 2024

One of the most dramatic events in the United States of the past almost 30 years has been the remarkable decline in the amount of crime. Since 1991 there has been an almost (an important qualifier, as we shall see) continuous decline in both violent and non-violent crime in the United States. At the same time that this decline was occurring, there was an increase (although not a continuous increase, as we shall also see) in the number of people incarcerated in prisons and jails in the U.S. The figures are stark. In 1980 there were approximately 500,000 people being held in all federal and state prisons and local jails in the country. By 2005 there were 2.5 million people incarcerated in the United States. That figure was by far the highest rate of incarceration in the developed world. In addition, the United States accounted for 25 percent of all the prisoners in the world.
FRUSTRATING OR PERHAPS SUPPORTIVE OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY? A LAW AND ECONOMICS TAKE ON LABOUR LAW IN INDIA
Authors: Singh Jaivir
Published: July 2024

Of course, there is much that is written and discussed about Indian labour laws and in most of the mainstream writing there is a sense that these laws frustrate economic activity on many accounts. It is said there are too many laws making compliance difficult for the businessman, the restrictions that they impose lead to inefficiencies and that the law must change substantially (at least as they are in their present form) –the recent move to collapse labour laws into codes is conceivably the culmination of this chain of thinking. While there may or may not be sufficient virtue to the idea that to study labour law is to gauge how it impedes economic activity, this direction of study is perhaps not entirely in the spirit of the analysis favoured by the law and economics understanding of approaching the problem. Though there are varieties of law and economics approaches – my broad understanding goes back to the cradle of the discipline emphasising the key insight featured by Coase that law effects efficiency when transaction costs are present.
TOWARDS PRECISE NORMS FOR LAND ACQUISITION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Authors: Schäfer Hans-Bernd
Published: July 2024

We relate the law and economics discussion of precise legal rules versus broad and information intensive legal standards to the impact of the law on economic development and to economic and political features of low and middle-income countries in general and to how land acquisition law work in this setting. We review the conceptual differences between rules and standards. Next, we relate our findings to taking law in developing countries, where clear rules often serve the purpose of the law better than standards. We describe how the perspective on eminent domain power has been shifting since the 1950s, when developed economics regard powerful planning by the state as the most important agent of economic development, to present day views, which are dramatically different and in which “land grabbing” by the government has become paradigmatic of misguided economic development. We support clear and precise rules regulating eminent domain power. The rationale for such rules is pervasive as they cut into individual rights. But for many developing countries additional reasons for precise rules exist.
OPTIMAL MAGNITUDE AND PROBABILITY OF FINES WHEN COURTS DISLIKE PUNISHMENT

Published: July 2024

The proposition that crime rates respond to risks and benefits is called the deterrence hypothesis in the economic literature. It asserts that individuals respond significantly to the incentives created by the criminal justice system. If so, increasing the resources that society devotes to the arrest, prosecution, conviction, and punishment of criminals will reduce the amount and social cost of crime.

Authors: Andhariya Chirag , Upadhyay Kashyapnath , Gandhi Rupal , Panchal Minal
Published: July 2024

Background: Diabetes mellitus is chronic condition due to impaired functions of pancreas and leads to less insulin production or no insulin production. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Increased blood sugar is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes. It requires medical as well as lifestyle modifications for the management. With the increasing prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and declining treatment efficacy, regular exercise, particularly "yoga," appears to be an economically feasible as well as beneficial adjunct in the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Method: Random sampling method approach is adopted to identify forty samples. 40 samples between 35 to 45 years were taken from rural area of Mehasana district and randomly assigned to control (n=20) and experimental (n=20) group. The experimental group participated in a 12-week yoga therapy class, with sessions held 5 days a week. Both groups’ HbA1c blood glucose level measured. Results: Paired t-test was used to estimate difference in means calculated before and after yoga therapy in a same group. A p-value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result of HbA1c of experimental group was very statistically significant (at p<0.05) but in control group there was not statically significant (at p =0.382) among rural women. Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrated that the yoga therapy is effective in reducing the blood glucose levels in patients with T2DM. A comprehensive yoga therapy program has the potential to enhance the beneficial effects of standard medical management of Diabetes Mellitus and can be used as an integrative therapy for controlling the blood glucose level.

The term "yoga attitude," which is often used to refer to a yogic attitude or mindset, refers to a collection of values and methods that practitioners of yoga develop in order to improve their general health and spiritual development. Though there isn't a single, widely accepted definition of a "yoga attitude," there are a few essential components that are frequently linked to the yogic way of thinking. The prime aim of the study was to explore Yoga Attitude among NCC Cadets and NSS Volunteers. All this information was collected by creating an online Google form according to Yoga Attitude Scale. The Yoga Attitude Scale developed by Dr. Mahes Kumar Muchhal (2008).

CV Kaia Project is one of the business entities engaged in PPOB which provides digital products such as credit purchases, data packages, PLN Tokens, game vouchers and others. The role of the PPOB system at CV Kaia Project is supported by the KAIA-PAY Application. Based on the results of interviews, namely with the owner of CV Kaia Project, currently the KAIA-PAY Application is already in the implementation stage, but there are several obstacles in its implementation including no forgotten password feature, OTP codes cannot be sent via SMS, etc. while distributing questionnaires on the initial design, namely the results of the initial design evaluation, namely a total of 5 aspects that are worth bad, namely attractiveness, clarity, efficiency, accuracy, stimulus while 1 aspect of novelty is below average. So this research aims to improve User Interface design in accordance with the needs and convenience of KAIA-PAY Application users by applying the UCD Method.  The application of the UCD method and evaluation using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) shows that the evaluation results after improvement, namely for the clarity aspect, get a good score, and for the aspects of attractiveness, efficiency, accuracy, stimulation, and novelty get excellent scores.

Aims: The present work evaluated the synergistic effect of therapeutic ultrasound associated with fluconazole on Candida albicans in vitro.
Place and Duration of Study: The experiments were carried out at the Phytopathology Laboratory at the Federal University of Acre (UFAC) and the Microbiology Laboratory at the Estácio Meta University Center in Rio Branco City, State of Acre, Brazil.
Methodology: The experiments used a standard strain of Candida albicans (ATCC 10231). Planktonic suspensions of C. albicans were prepared and exposed to ultrasonic waves at frequencies of 1 MHz and 3 MHz, and intensity of 1.0 W/cm2, with application times of 5, 10, and 15 minutes. The treatment groups were ultrasound (UST) alone, Fluconazole alone (FLU), ultrasound combined with Fluconazole (UST + FLU), and a control group (no UST, no FLU). After 24 hours, a count of the Colony Forming Units (CFUs) was performed.
Results: According to the results, a greater growth inhibition was observed in treatments (UST + FLU) at both frequencies for all three application times. It indicates that, at least in the conditions we used, therapeutic ultrasound combined with fluconazole inhibited the growth of C. albicans in vitro. The antimicrobial effect of this treatment was greater than the one with UST alone and with fluconazole alone.
Conclusion: The association of antifungals with ultrasound can be considered a promising strategy to treat infections caused by fungi, allowing a reduced therapeutic period.

This review addresses the energy efficient technology and carbon trading for reducing carbon emissions. Energy-efficient technologies (EET) and carbon trading are mechanisms for mitigating climate change. EET offers direct ways to reduce emissions by improving the efficiency of energy use in various sectors. The use of technologies such as Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) in compressors, enhanced thermal performance in buildings, and smart lighting systems demonstrate significant potential in cutting energy consumption and thereby emissions The roles of carbon credits in international emission trading schemes, emphasizing their dual purpose of environmental protection and revenue generation for developing nations. The study explores into various types of carbon credit projects, including the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), highlighting their distribution and impact across different regions. The importance of forests in carbon dioxide absorption and the challenges of ensuring permanence and accounting for carbon sequestration are also discussed. Additionally, the document examines policy recommendations, such as carbon pricing and emission reduction targets set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

The effects of a 3-arm hammer cracker/ beater on the performance of a newly developed palm kernel shell cracking machine have been determined. The newly developed palm kernel cracker was equipped with a 3-arm hammer beater shaft, and a constant weight of 3000g of palm kernel shells were cracked under various operating speeds ranging from 800- 1600 rpm. During this period the performance of the newly developed machine equipped with the 3-arm hammer beater was evaluated. It was discovered that the 3000g of palm kernel nuts were cracked in just 30.14 seconds at a speed of 1600 rpm. The number of whole nuts was 541 at the operating speed of 1000 rpm which was the highest of all the processing speeds used. It was also discovered that the number of uncracked nuts decreased with increasing operating speed. Unbroken nuts were 87 at 1000 rpm and were the lowest operational speeds used. For the number of cracked nuts it was discovered that the number of cracked nuts increased with an increase in cracking speed or operational speed. The work observed that the effective capacity of the machine equipped with the 3-arm hammer beater increased with an increase in operational speed. The cracking efficiency also increased with increasing operational speed. Un-cracked nuts loss was seen to decrease as the operational speed increased. The highest performance efficiency of 84.53, the highest overall efficiency of 82.95, and the smallest value of split nut loss of 13.59 all occurred at the operational speed of 1000 rpm. It is therefore recommended that for this newly developed palm kernel shell cracking machine equipped with a 3-arm hammer beater the best operating speed should be 1000 rpm, to minimize losses and enjoy high performance efficiency.
