BRIDGING THE PAST AND PRESENT: AN ANALYSIS OF SULTAN ZAINUL ABIDIN'S LEGACY THROUGH THE ZAINGAIR CANAL IN KASHMIR
Authors: Ishfaq Ahmad Mir
Published: May 2023

Sultan Zainul Abidin, popularly known as "Budshah," was a 15th-century ruler of Kashmir who left a lasting impact on the region's socio-economic landscape. Among his many contributions, the Zaingair Canal, which he commissioned for irrigation and transportation purposes, stands out as a significant feat of engineering. Despite its historical importance, the canal's legacy has been largely forgotten in modern-day Kashmir. This research paper aims to bridge the gap between the past and present by analyzing the impact of Sultan Zainul Abidin's legacy through the Zaingair Canal. Through a comprehensive review of historical texts, as well as fieldwork conducted in the Zaingair area, this paper will explore the canal's significance in the context of Kashmir's development, and shed light on its potential for revitalization in the present day.
Natuna Fisheries Resources: DPSIR Framework
Authors: Gilang Ramadhan Gusti
Published: May 2023

Natuna Waters have a high potential for fishery resources, including fish, shrimp, and other marine products. However, the potential faces serious problems, such as overfishing, illegal fishing, and conflict between local fishermen and high-tech foreign fishermen. In this paper, we apply the DPSIR (Driving forces, Pressures, State, Impact, and Response) framework to analyze the potential and problems of Natuna fisheries resources. We identified the driving and pressure factors affecting the condition of the waters, as well as the resulting impacts. We also discuss the responses that have been and are being made to address the issue. The results of the analysis showed that Natuna waters are under great pressure from human activities, especially overfishing and illegal fishing, which harm the sustainability of fishing resources in Natuna. This paper contributes to the understanding of the potential and problems of marine resources of Natuna waters, as well as informing policymakers about the policies that need to be taken to maintain the sustainability of marine resources (especially fisheries) in the region.

Ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkileri çocuğun gelişimi açısından önemli bir yere sahiptir. Gelişim ve psikoloji kuramları özellikle ilk çocuklukta bu ilişkilerin daha önemli bir yere sahip olduğunu belirtmektedir. Bu ilişkiyi etkileyen faktörlerden biri de ebeveynlerin yaşadığı ebeveyn stresidir. Covid-19 pandemisi sırasında alınan önlemler gereği sokağa çıkma yasağının gelmesi ve okulların kapanması ebeveynlerin bütün günlerini çocukla evde geçirmelerine yol açmış ve bu durum da ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkilerine yansımıştır. Buradan hareketle bu çalışmanın amacı Covid-19 pandemisi sırasında evde çocuklarıyla kalan ebeveynlerin Covid-19 kaygısı, kapanma süresi ve ebeveyn stresinin çocuklarıyla yaşadıkları çatışmalara ve kurdukları olumlu ilişkiye olan etkisini incelemektir. Bu amaçla 389’ı kadın 40’ı erkek olmak üzere 0-6 yaş arası çocuğu olan 429 ebeveynden veri toplanmış ve yol analizi yöntemiyle kurulan model test edilmiştir. Model testi sonuçlarına göre ebeveyn stresi ve ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkisi arasında istatistiksel olarak manidar ilişki bulunurken kapanma süresi ve Covid-19 kaygısı ile ebeveyn – çocuk ilişkisi arasında istatistiksel olarak manidar bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Ede edilen sonuçlar ve ulaşılan bulgular alanyazın kapsamında tartışılmış ve çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur.

Authors: Garcia Diaz Laura , Durocher Evelyne , Gardner Paula , McAiney Carrie , Letts Lori
Published: May 2023

Engagement of persons living with dementia in public consultations is central to the development of dementia-friendly communities (DFC). However, due to a lack of resources and expertise in how to support their involvement, persons living with dementia are not always involved in processes for planning the development and implementation of DFC initiatives. To better understand processes and methods that facilitate the engagement of persons living with dementia in public consultations, we evaluated the public consultation processes of a Canadian DFC initiative. A partially mixed-methods sequential equal status design guided this process evaluation. Data sources included surveys completed by public consultation participants, focus groups with members of the group that led the public consultation process, and the report that outlines consultation findings. Study results highlight the strengths and limitations of the public consultations and include recommendations for engaging persons living with dementia in public consultations. Results emphasize the importance of including persons living with dementia in DFC initiatives as project partners and public consultation participants.

Collaborative Artisanship: Medals at Louis XIV’s Royal Mint
Authors: Wellington Robert , Clarke Christina
Published: May 2023

During Louis XIV’s reign, royal medals were fabricated in a workshop called the Monnaie des Médailles, situated at the heart of artisanal production at the Louvre. Medals were produced by a series of men appointed by the king, but the Monnaie des Médailles achieved administrative perfection under master goldsmith Nicholas Delaunay, who transformed the workshop into a space of performative display, where the king’s most important visitors could marvel at the quality of medalmaking equipment and witness the process of medal striking. Although scholars of medals tend to attribute specific medals to individual artists, struck medals do not correspond to contemporary ideas about the work of art’s authorship. Here, we reconstruct six stages of making – design, modelling, production of punches, dies and flans, followed by striking – to elucidate the artisanal process and place these objects back into the hands of their producers.
British Iron Act 1750: its context and impact
Authors: King Peter
Published: May 2023

In the Iron Act 1750, the British Parliament sought to encourage the production of iron in America, but to discourage its manufacture into finished wrought iron goods. It thus prohibited the erection or continuance of iron processing works of various kinds. This article examines these processes to provide context for the Act. It also reviews the returns that it required from colonial governors, which provide some details of the American iron industry at that period and particularly of existing works for the prohibited processes, and the extent and significance of iron imports from America.
Osteoarthritis: Nutrition and lifestyle intervention
Authors: Naqvi Rehan
Published: May 2023

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, chronic, musculoskeletal disease. It is the most common form of arthritis and its prevalence increases with age. It is also referred to as degenerative joint disease and is characterized by cartilage degeneration with reactive new bone formation at the joint margins. This degeneration and new bone formation result in pain and stiffness in the affected joints{.1} OA has traditionally been considered a passive process of joint wear and tear. However, it is now considered a metabolically active process with both anabolic and catabolic activity.1 Commonly affected joints are the hands, knees, hips, and cervical and lumbar spine, and OA is often associated with significant disability and impaired quality of life. . Risk factors include age, sex, ethnicity, genetic profile, hormonal status, bone mineral density (BMD), and nutritional factors. Obesity, joint injuries and deformities, sports participation, muscle weakness, and occupational factors are also associated with OA. There is no known cure. Management goals include reducing pain and maintaining or improving joint function. Treatment of OA is broadly divided into pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. Exercise, patient education, telephone support, and weight reduction are safe non-pharmacological approaches. Pharmacological treatment includes paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, intra-articular therapy, and surgical treatment. Dietary and lifestyle interventions have received insufficient attention

Politically correct and gender-neutral language: effects, consequences, acceptance
Authors: Čapek Jan
Published: May 2023

Political correctness and gender-neutral language are language practices that aim to critically examine current language usage based on certain progressive norms and reject certain words, terms, or expressions deemed inappropriate, while seeking alternatives. This applies to all forms of expression that could offend, discriminate, or underrepresent someone based on their ethnic origin, gender, social class, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation. Advocates of this language usage argue that it helps promote greater inclusivity, respect, and equality in society, while opponents argue that it leads to language regulation that can make language unclear, complicated, contradictory, incomprehensible, or even censorious. Moreover, some critics argue that this language regulation can be counterproductive, as it may unintentionally draw attention to and reinforce differences among people, rather than celebrating diversity. Additionally, some have argued that language regulation can distract from more significant issues of systemic oppression and inequality, leading to a superficial focus on language instead of real social change. In summary, the debate over politically correct and gender-neutral language reflects broader debates over cultural and social change, with proponents seeing it as a necessary step toward greater equality and respect, and opponents viewing it as a restriction on free speech and a form of social engineering.
Poetics and problems of the play “The Libertine” by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt
Authors: Cherkashyna Tetiana , Vasilieva Olha
Published: May 2023

The article studies the analysis of the dramatic legacy of Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, a famous modern French-speaking writer. The article discusses one of his most famous plays, The Libertine. We studied the genre-typological properties of the play and the system of its characters, we actualized the reality of the prototypes of the actors of the play, traced the architectonics of the play. We studied the peculiarities of the organization of plots, protagonist images and their systems in the play The Libertine, we analyzed the motives, leitmotifs, chronotopes, themes and issues, which allowed to single out the main conflict of the play. We used comparative-historical, comparative-typological and structural methods to study the stated issues. One of the key factors in choosing the main character of the work, Denis Diderot, whose work inspired the playwright not only to write a dissertation on philosophy and was the source of many worldview ideas, but also to write a fictional literary work and biography. The play The Libertine is written in the style of French classicist works with a focus on the unity of time, place, action. The famous Enlightenment philosopher Denis Diderot, who is working on the article Morality in his famous Encyclopedia, appears in the play by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt as the embodiment of immorality. Each character introduced by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt into the play represents one of the facets of the moral issue around which the play revolves. The problem of morality is constant in this play by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, that makes it sharpness, dynamism, it revolves around the whole dramatic conflict and the pervasive action of the play. The specificity of the philosophy of language of Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, on the one hand, is based on dialogical discourse, and on the other, manifested in the comic, in humor. In this sense, humor is not a tool to ridicule Denis Diderot, but rather calls for a more lenient attitude of the reader to human weaknesses. Typical of Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt's work is the open finale of the play, the actualization of important metaphysical questions that remain unanswered.
Semantic and structural challenges of translating modern English agro-engineering terminology into Ukrainian
Authors: Makhachashvili Rusudan , Mosiyevych Larysa , Kurbatova Tetiana
Published: May 2023

The study analyzes semantic and structural peculiarities of translating modern English agro-engineering terminology. Agro-engineering terms represent the up-to-date level of agriculture development noted for advanced mechanization, application of various technical processes, new technologies, etc., this causing additional translation problems. Besides, agricultural terminology encapsulates field-specific lexis as well as mathematical, mechanical, biological and general scientific terms. Translation difficulties are closely related to lingual characteristics of agro-engineering terms (structural peculiarities, synonymy, homonymy). Playing a significant role in forming this segment of professional lexicon, multi-component units are difficult to translate due to their length and non-prepositional bonds in most cases. The main research methods include comparative and contrastive analysis as well as the quantitative method. The results obtained reveal that a variety of techniques applied to translating English agro-engineering terms into Ukrainian include equivalence, analogue, descriptive techniques, transliteration, grammatical and lexical transformations. Yet, the most frequent technique is equivalence. Application of different translation techniques in multicomponent phrases can cause inconsistences in the number of components in a terminological phrase in a target language. The authors suggest an algorithm of English-Ukrainian translation of agro-engineering multicomponent terms. The paper is intended for a wide range of specialists interested in translating agro-engineering texts, teaching ESP, students of translation departments and experts in the relevant field of knowledge.

Published: May 2023

The article's main aim is to consider concept and genre text analysis in training professional interpreters and translators as well as students majoring in Publishing and Editing within the framework of complex interactions of theoretical and methodological practices. Theoretical considerations of cross-linguistic mediation, translation-oriented genre and concept analysis provided the basis for developing a set of learning practices. The main research question of this paper is how to exploit the above mentioned considerations in learning cross-linguistic mediation with the help of binary texts (the texts of the same genre considering alike problems in English and Ukrainian). Finally, the suggested methodology was verified and confirmed in the process of experimental teaching. The significance of the study lies in its cross-disciplinary approach to the problem of teaching translation: the mediation in teaching foreign languages, cognitive linguistics, translation-oriented genre analysis.

Hibiscus sabdariffa on Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) on Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Patients
Authors: Haque Sumayya Nuri Fuadana Aulia Ul , Bayani Gulshan Fahmi El
Published: May 2023

FGF21 has a role in modulating the uptake of macronutrients in the body. It is produced by the liver in response to high carbohydrate intake and acts as a signal to the brain to reduce carbohydrate intake. Liver is the main site for FGF21 production under the regulation of Unfolding Protein Response (UPR) in hepatocytes. FGF21 has an important role in regulating peripheral glucose tolerance as well as lipid metabolism. FGF21 expression in the liver depends on the PKR-like ER kinase (PERK)–eukaryotic initiation factor 2? (eIF2?)–activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) pathway. FGF21 can regulate the expression of glucose transporter 1, and increase glucose uptake. In addition, research shows that FGF21 can reduce blood sugar levels and also body weight in mice1. FGF21 can also increase insulin sensitivity by suppressing hepatic glucose production and increasing hepatic glycogen content, so that this can improve systemic glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. The researchers attempted to discover the influence of Hibiscus sadariffa on FGF21 on Diabetes mellitus type 2 patients. The method used was literature review with data generated from various sources such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and Pubmed. FGF21 has an effect on the function of ? and ß cells in the pancreas organ. In the islets of the pancreatic organs of rats with DM, administration of FGF21 increased insulin levels, induced insulin secretion, and inhibited glucagon secretion.

Interorganizational Relationships in Medieval Trade: An Analysis of the Hanseatic League
Authors: Kirb Eric G.
Published: May 2023

The Hanseatic League was a commercial federation of guilds and cities in the Baltic region that dominated trade in northern Europe during the later Middle Ages. At its peak, it linked traders and market towns from England to Russia and most ports in between.  It worked to remove trade barriers and provide security to its members. Employing an analytically structured approach, this study analyzes secondary sources to investigate the relationships between the members of the Hanse as well as the primary motivations driving the formation of the Hanseatic League. When this is analyzed as a federation style of interorganizational relationship, the five defining key contingencies become apparent: (1) power asymmetries in the High Middle Ages existed for the merchants with the balance of power in favor of monarchs; (2) individual guilds found it beneficial to establish ongoing relationships with other guilds; (3) economies of scope and scale allowed for efficiencies that would lead to trade dominance; (4) merchants sought more stable and predictable open access to markets across northern Europe; and (5) with the decline of feudalism, guilds sought to increase the acceptance and privilege of their community.  The Hanseatic League’s formation was also based on a sixth key factor: security for its members.

Published: May 2023

This study was designed to explore if alcohol consumption patterns had changes among Icelanders following the pandemic restrictions and lockdown in two times points. Questioners was carried out in May 2020 five months after the pandemic and restrictions COVID-19 were established in Iceland and again ten months later in March 2021. The research questions were as follows. Firstly, did individuals drink more or less alcoholic beverages than usual in the last two months than last twelve months before? Secondly, have individuals been drunk (5 or more drinks in the same sitting) more often or less in the last two months than last twelve months before? And thirdly, participants were also asked about their background, such as gender, age, education, work, marital status, household and monthly income related to those questions.

Quantitative methods were used, the data collection was conducted in May 2020 and March 2021. In the year 2020, a random sample of 850 participants answered questions about their alcohol consumption at the time point compared to last twelve months for May of 2020 and in March 2021 another 864 randomly selected participants answered the same survey. The participants answered the questions on a five-point Likert scale. The data was analysed descriptively.

More than a half of the participants did not experience any changing in their alcohol consumption. Further, participants experienced less frequent drinking and fewer drinks during the pandemic and lockdown compering to the last twelve months before the survey both 2020 and 2021. Interesting results of this study include the fact that alcohol consumption seems to increase between the two years or as the epidemic progressed. Further, the participants who answered the survey and lived with their families, i.e. spouses and children, reported the most changes in their alcohol consumption between the years of 2020 and 2021.

Cu matrix composites benefit from the high electrical and thermal conductivities of Cu and the mechanical wear/erosion resistance of hard reinforcement. In this study, an attempt has been made to determine the effect of the addition of reinforcement B4C in Cu-Ni-Sn. The B4C is reinforced to form a hybrid Cu matrix composite with powder metallurgy technique. The hybrid composites are obtained by milling, blending, and compacting the powders to obtain a fine grain-sized particle without aggregation. The grain size and particle nature were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques, respectively. The microstructure, density, hardness, and wear rate of the composites were studied. The pin-on-disc method is equipped to study the wear behaviour and coefficient of friction. The sintered density of the prepared Cu-15%Ni is 98.25 %, Cu-8%Sn is 98.20 %, Cu-15%Ni-8%Sn is 98.10 % and Cu-15%Ni-8%Sn-2%B4C is 95.26 % and lower specific wear rate has been recorded for Cu-15Ni-8Sn-2B4C 121×10-6 mm3/(Nm) and the addition of reinforcement B4C in Cu-Ni-Sn displays remarkable changes in wear rate and friction coefficient.
Experimental Study and Numerical Analysis on Windage Power Loss Characteristics of Aviation Spiral Bevel Gear with Oil Injection Lubrication
Authors: Li Linlin , Wang Sanmin
Published: May 2023

With the increasing speed of aviation spiral bevel gears, the load-independent windage power losses caused by hydrodynamic have increasingly more influence on gear transmission efficiency. Firstly, a test rig for the windage power loss of spiral bevel gear under oil-jet lubrication is established, and on this basis, a method for measuring windage torque is proposed. Next, the interactive effects of different injection lubrication parameters on the windage power loss were studied by orthogonal experiment, and the formula for calculating the windage loss was obtained by fitting the experimental data. Then, the fluid distribution, velocity field and pressure field around the gear were analysed by using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical model, and the mechanical and energy characteristics of the gear windage power loss were obtained. Finally, the dimensionless processing of the windage moment was carried out, and the variation of the dimensionless windage moment coefficient with the rotational Reynolds number is obtained. The comparison between the dimensionless windage moment coefficient of experimental data and simulation results shows that the CFD values are in good agreement with the measured data. This study provides experimental and methodological guidance for the calculation of windage power loss and windage reduction design of aviation gear pair under oil injection lubrication.

Published: May 2023

When judging the current state of the economy, it is essential to consider how vital the financial sector is to boost economic activity. It is crucial to the operation of an economy's banking system, which includes monetary and fiscal systems, all of which rely on how well that economy's banking system performs. We will use the CAMELS approach of analysis to the gathered data to evaluate the performance of the State Bank of India. The Reserve Bank of India was the first institution to suggest the CAMELS Rating System. The authors used data from reliable secondary sources for the SBI from 2012 to 2022 to conduct their study. The years 2012 through 2022 saw the utilization of this data. This research employed an OLS regression model to examine the variables' unit roots and the data's normality. This was done to find out what kind of relationship there is between the dependent variable and the other variables. The financial standing of models representing the performance of the banking sector is examined using the CAMELS analysis technique. These prototypes are used to explore the financial performance of the archetypes of Indian financial institutions that make up the banking industry. This investigation's primary target, the State Bank of India, can render a decision. The data provided in this study also helps future researchers comprehend how the CAMELS Approach impacted the effectiveness and profitability of financial organizations. Future researchers will have access to this study's financial measurements and the CAMELS Method, which may be used to assess the overall financial health of institutions. The links to these two contributions are provided below.
A study of statistical submersions
Authors: Siddiqui Aliya Naaz , Ahmad Kamran
Published: May 2023

In the sixties, A. Gray \cite{Gr} and B. O'Neill \cite{O1} come with the notion of Riemannian submersions as a tool to study the geometry of a Riemannian manifold with an additional structure in terms of the fibers and the base space. Riemannian submersions have long been an effective tool to construct Riemannian manifolds with positive or nonnegative sectional curvature in Riemannian geometry and compare certain manifolds within differential geometry. In particular, many examples of Einstein manifolds can be constructed by using such submersions. It is very well known that Riemannian submersions have applications in physics, for example Kaluza-Klein theory, Yang-Mills theory, supergravity and superstring theories.
