Published: December 2024

Activated carbon is a material with a high fixed carbon content and large surface area, whose capacity for adsorbing organic compounds depends on the precursor material and the process it undergoes. 2,4-D is a molecule associated with numerous health hazards and is widely used in Brazil for weed control. In rural areas, its use can lead to contamination of surface and groundwater. This study aimed to evaluate the adsorption potential of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) using carbon derived from Brazil nut shell activated at 800 °C, comparing activation atmospheres of water steam and CO₂. Activated carbons, both with water steam and CO₂, were characterized in terms of pore diameter distribution using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) theory, morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal stability by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The activated carbons with steam and CO₂ presented high surface areas (397 ± 8 m²/g and 325 ± 7 m²/g, respectively). The micrographs showed high porosity in the activated carbons, and the loss of only 20% of their mass in the thermogravimetric test confirmed the material’s thermal stability. The adsorption kinetics assay was performed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) over time ranging from 0 to 120 minutes. The equilibrium time was 45 minutes for water steam-activated carbon, achieving 92.51% removal, and 120 minutes for CO₂-activated carbon with 84.81% of 2,4-D removed. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model best fit the data.

The demand for seedlings of native tree species for the restoration of altered areas has increased considerably. Therefore, knowing the strategies that favor quality seedling production in the nursery, in addition to survival, growth, and development in the field, is important. This study was to evaluate the survival and initial growth of Inga vera Will and Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, after 24 months of planting, seedlings in an anthropized area. The experiment was conducted using a factorial scheme (2 × 2), considering the types of containers used in the production of seedlings and the presence or absence of mulching in the surroundings. The survival of the seedlings, as well as their morphophysiological attributes, was verified 24 months after planting. I. vera presented a higher average survival for seedlings grown in plastic bags (86.7%), whereas S. terebinthifolius did not show any difference between treatments. The morphological attributes of increased height (IncH), diameter of the stem (IncSD), crown area (AC), and shoot dry mass (SDM) were favored by the use of plastic bags in seedlings of I. vera. For S. terebinthifolius, the plastic bag favored only IncH, equaling the seedlings produced in containers for the other variables. Using mulching was ineffective in helping the growth of either species, and the physiological attributes were similar for all the treatments tested. Aiming at the high survival and rapid growth of seedlings in the field, it is recommended to produce I. vera in 1.5 L plastic bags, while S. terebinthifolius seedlings can be produced in 180 cm³ containers. Therefore, using mulching as a culture treatment for both species should be investigated in future studies.
SIGNIFICANT RESULTS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH THE PAST 30 YEARS ON THE MONGOL INVASION (1241—42) IN MEDIEVAL HUNGARIAN KINGDOM

Published: December 2024

The article presents the latest results of archaeological research into the events of the Mongol invasion against the Kingdom of Hungary in the Carpathian Basin in 1241—42. Despite the wealth of written sources, archaeology could not provide any serious evidence of the events of the Mongol invasion in Hungary for a long time. However, for a long time there was no clear and reliable evidence of massacres and widespread destruction, which could be judged from the descriptions of contemporaries, often of an apocalyptic nature. The archaeology of the invasion period, the youngest field of Hungarian archaeology to become an independent discipline, is today one of the most dynamically developing fields. The full development of the archaeology of the Mongol invasion period is connected with the appearance of new sites as a result of recent targeted and planned research.

В статье представлены новейшие результаты археологических исследований события монгольского нашествия против Венгерского королевства в Карпатском бассейне в 1241—42 гг. По сравнению с богатством письменных источников, археология долгое время не могла предоставить никаких серьезных свидетельств событий монгольского нашествия в Венгрии. Однако долгое время не было четких и достоверных свидетельств массовых убийств и широкомасштабных разрушений, о которых можно было судить по описаниям современников, часто апокалиптического характера. Археология периода нашествия, самая молодая область венгерской археологии, ставшая самостоятельной дисциплиной, сегодня является одним из наиболее динамично развивающихся направлений. Полноценное развитие археологии периода нашествия связано с появлением новых объектов в результате последних целенаправленных и плановых исследований.
THE PRINCIPALITY OF TAYK IN THE CONTEXT OF THE REGIONAL POLICY OF THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE DURING THE REIGN OF BASIL II

Published: December 2024

During the reign of Emperor Basil II, the Byzantine Empire intensified its policy of expansion in the eastern direction, thereby creating the prerequisites for the capture of new territories. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate and highlight the significant role of the Principality of Tayk in the context of this policy, and also to illustrate the diplomatic success of the Byzantine Empire in the capture of Tayk. The Principality of Tayk reached its apogee during the reign of David Kuropalates Bagratid. As a consequence of the latter’s heirless state, King Bagrat III of Georgia was designated the successor to Tayk. As a result of Basil II’s astute and forward-thinking policies, the territory of the Tayk principality was first expanded, and subsequently, Bagrat III was deprived of his inheritance. In the end, Basil II was declared the heir of the Tayk principality. Despite the efforts of the Georgian establishment, Tayk was annexed to the Byzantine Empire at the end of Basil II’s reign.

В период правления императора Василия II Византийская империя активизировала политику экспансии в восточном направлении, создавая тем самым предпосылки для захвата новых территорий. Цель данной статьи — показать роль княжества Тайк в контексте этой политики и проиллюстрировать дипломатические успехи Византийской империи в захвате Тайка. Княжество Тайк достигло своего апогея во время правления Давида Куропалата Багратида. Вследствие бездетности последнего, преемником Тайка был назначен грузинский царь Баграт III. В результате дальновидной и прозорливой политики Василия II сначала была расширена территория Тайкского княжества, а затем Баграт III был лишен наследства. В итоге наследником Тайкского княжества был объявлен Василий II. Несмотря на усилия грузинского истеблишмента, в конце правления Василия II Тайк был присоединен к Византийской империи.
КОЛЬЧАТОЕ НАГОЛОВЬЕ ВТОРОЙ ПОЛОВИНЫ XVI — СЕРЕДИНЫ XIX ВВ. ИЗ СОБРАНИЯ НАЦИОНАЛЬНОГО МУЗЕЯ РЕСПУБЛИКИ КАЗАХСТАН

Published: December 2024

В статье проанализировано уникальное кольчатое наголовье (ҚРҰМ нқ ҚЖ 13), хранящееся в Национальном музее Республики Казахстан. На основании особенностей покроя, артефакт атрибутирован, как один из вариантов кольчатых «башлыков». Ближайшие аналоги происходят с территории Центральной Азии и Южной Сибири. В Казахстане и Мавераннахре (в частности, в Коканде) кольчатые «башлыки» продолжали бытовать вплоть до середины XIX в. Уникальность рассматриваемого образца заключается в том, что при изготовлении тульи использованы плоские «байданные» кольца. Нижняя граница распространения кольчатых «башлыков» с «байданной» тульей в регионе предварительно локализована второй половиной XVI— началом XVII вв., то есть периодом существования Казахского ханства. Наиболее вероятно, что наголовье из НМРК было изготовлено в XVII—XVIII вв. мастерами Мавераннахра или сопредельных территорий и находилось на вооружении казахского, узбекского или, менее вероятно, ойратского (джунгарского) воина. Артефакт представляет собой яркий образец центральноазиатских кольчатых боевых наголовий и является наглядным примером военно-культурных взаимоотношений казахов с Бухарским ханством, Кокандом и другими государственными образованиями региона.

The article analyses a unique mail coif (ҚРҰМ нқ ҚЖ 13) stored in the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Based on its design features, the mail coif is attributed as one of the variants of ringed “bashlyks”. The closest analogues were found from the territory of Central Asia and Southern Siberia. In Kazakhstan and Maverannahr (in particular, in Kokand) the mail “bashlyks” were used until the middle of the 19th century. The model is unique because the production of crown used flat “baydana” rings. The late period of the spread of ringed “bashlyks” with a “baydana” crown in the region was previously localized in the second half of the 16th — early 17th centuries, that is, the period of the existence of the Kazakh Khanate. It is likely that the mail coif of the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan was made in the 17th— 18th centuries by craftsmen of Maverannahr or neighboring territories and was in service with Kazakh, Uzbek or, less likely, Oirat (Dzungarian) warriors. The artifact is a vivid model of Central Asian mail coifs and is a vivid example of the military-cultural relations of the Kazakhs with the Bukhara Khanate, Kokand and other state entities of the region.
ОБ УСТРОЙСТВЕ ПЕРЕКРЫТИЙ В ПОДБОЙНЫХ МОГИЛАХ РИМСКОГО ВРЕМЕНИ НА НЕКРОПОЛЯХ БЛИЖАЙШЕЙ ОКРУГИ ХЕРСОНЕСА*
Authors: Свиридов А.Н.
Published: December 2024

Представлены предварительные наблюдения по одному из малоизученных аспектов устройства погребальных сооружений римского времени Юго-Западного Крыма — способам перекрытия подбойных ниш. На материалах полностью раскопанного некрополя Фронтовое 3 предлагается классификация перекрытий подбоев, включающая два типа, различающихся отсутствием или наличием камня. Для второго типа выделено пять вариантов размещения камней в закладе. Полученные данные сопоставлены с материалами синхронных, наиболее полно раскопанных некрополей, расположенных в ближайшей округе Херсонеса. Там обнаружились те же варианты перекрытий, что и в некрополе Фронтовое 3. Выдвинута гипотеза о хронологических различиях этих вариантов.

Preliminary observations are presented on the ways of closing the side chambers in graves, which is among the aspects of burial structures of the Roman period in Southwestern Crimea that has been limitedly studied. Based on the data from the Frontovoe 3 cemetery, a classification is proposed, with two types of coverings, one of which used stones and the other did not. The second type, in particular, represents five modes of placing stones above the chamber in the fill of the pit. The classification was then extrapolated to the most fully excavated necropoleis of the same period in the vicinity of Chersonesus, and since a similar diversity of grave coverings has now been recorded elsewhere, a hypothesis is proposed that this was due to chronological reasons.
ТАМГИ САРМАТОВ, СРЕДНЕАЗИАТСКИХ ХУНА И ХУННУ
Authors: Яценко С.А.
Published: December 2024

Рассмотрен единственный в евразийской Степи район, где найдена серия более ранних точных аналогий царских тамгам с монет хуна Средней Азии и Северо-Западного Индостана конца IV — середины VI вв. н.э. Это Европейская Сарматия к западу от устья Дона, и такие находки, за одним исключением, датируются серединой II — серединой III вв. н.э. Они концентрируются в трех зонах — в Центральном Крыму, в районе Ольвии и у устья Дона (рис. 9). В основных городах Боспора они отсутствуют. Анализирутся 7 типов клановых эмблем (рис. 2—8), идентичные образцы которых известны позже у правителей всех 4 групп «иранских гуннов». Сарматские кланы, использовавшие эти тамги, не входили в состав высшей аристократии и не представлены в большинстве мест, где проводились важные акции (от последних остались большие скопления знаков). В связи с полученным результатом кажутся интересными три свидетельства китайских и римских историков об аланах в Центральной Азии и Индостане в гуннское время.

The article considers the only area in the Eurasian Steppe where a series of earlier exact analogies of the royal tamgas from the coins of the Hūṇā of Transoxiana and North-Western Hindustan of the late 4th — mid 6th cc. CE were found. This is European Sarmatia to the west of the mouth of the Don and such finds, with one exception, date back to mid. 2nd — mid. 3 rd cc. CE. They are concentrated in three zones — in the Central Crimea, in Olbia region and at the mouth of Don (fig. 9). They are absent in the main cities of Bosporus. 7 types of clan emblems are analyzed (figs. 2—8) the identical samples of which are known later for the rulers of all 4 groups of the “Iranian Huns”. The Sarmatian clans that used these tamgas were not part of the highest aristocracy and are not represented in most places where important actions were held (large accumulations of signs remained from them). In connection with the obtained result, three evidences of Chinese and Roman historians about the Alans in Central Asia and Hindustan in the Hunnic period seems interesting.
ROMAN PROVINCIAL COINS FOUND IN THE EXCAVATIONS OF THE SLOPE BATH OF PARION (2008—2018)

Published: December 2024

This article focuses on the Roman provincial coins found during the excavations of the Parion Slope Bath between 2008 and 2018. A total of 58 coins were discovered, which belonged to Parion (41), Alexandria Troas (7), Coela (6), Lampsakos (2), Byzantion (1), and Ilion (1). The earliest of the coins dates to the reign of Julius Caesar (45 BCE), and the latest to the reign of Gallienus (253—268 CE). Seven of the coins are PseudoAutonomous. The coins found in the excavations of the Slope Bath represent three centuries, from the first Roman colonial coins minted by Parion during the reign of Julius Caesar to the end of the Gallienian period, when Parion minted its last colonial coins. The coins consist of examples of six different cities and 19 different emperors/empresses. Most of the coins are from Parion’s own mint, with 41 samples (71%). Furthermore, the coins recovered from the Slope Bath, which was built in the 1st century CE, underwent extensive renovation in the 4th century CE and is assumed to have fallen into disuse in the late 5th century CE, support the suggestions for the construction and early use phases of the bath. The coins in question also provide essential information about both the usage phases of the building and the circulation of Roman provincial coins in Parion, as well as the relations of Parion with the surrounding cities during the Roman Period.

В этой статье рассматриваются римские провинциальные монеты, найденные при раскопках бани на склоне Париона в период с 2008 по 2018 г. Всего было обнаружено 58 монет, принадлежавших Париону (41), Александрии Троаде (7), Коэле (6), Лампсаку (2), Византию (1) и Илиону (1). Самая ранняя из монет датируется правлением Юлия Цезаря (45 г. до н.э.), а самая поздняя — правлением Галлиена (253—268 гг. н.э.). Семь монет являются псевдоавтономными. Монеты, найденные при раскопках бани на склоне, представляют три столетия, от первых римских колониальных монет, отчеканенных Парионом во время правления Юлия Цезаря, до конца периода Галлиена, когда Парион чеканил свои последние колониальные монеты. Монеты состоят из образцов шести разных городов и 19 разных императоров/императриц. Большинство монет из собственного монетного двора Париона, 41 образец (71%). Кроме того, монеты, извлеченные из Склоновой бани, которая была построена в I в. н.э., подверглась масштабной реконструкции в IV в. н.э. и, как предполагается, вышла из употребления в конце V века н.э., подтверждают предположения о строительстве и ранних этапах использования бани. Рассматриваемые монеты также предоставляют важную информацию как о фазах использования здания, так и о обращении римских провинциальных монет в Парионе, а также об отношениях Париона с окружающими городами в римский период.
The Quran as a Source of Ethical and Moral Guidance in Contemporary Society
Authors: Jaiyeoba Haruna Babatunde , Ushama Thameem , Amuda Yusuff Jelili
Published: December 2024

Contemporary societies are confronted with a multifaceted range of ethical and moral problems, many of which arise from a confluence of powerful societal forces, including terrorism, globalisation, materialism, consumerism, and rapid changes in technology and social structures. The Quran's moral teachings remain crucial in addressing these issues and providing relevant solutions for modern dilemmas. As such, this study explores the Quran as an important source of ethical and moral guidance for humanity in contemporary society. Content analysis was employed to identify key Quranic verses that have potential implications for ethical and moral conduct in modern society. Keywords such as “justice,” “compassion and mercy,” “honesty and truthfulness,” “stewardship,” “humility and modesty,” and “generosity and charity” were used to locate relevant verses. A detailed examination of the Quranic verses and analysis of the findings reveal that the Quran indeed emphasizes the importance of several timeless principles, including justice, compassion, honesty, stewardship, humility, and generosity. The findings also demonstrate that the Quran offers a comprehensive framework for ethical conduct relevant to addressing issues such as injustice, dishonesty, environmental degradation, and social inequality in contemporary society. Therefore, this research recommends the incorporation of the Quran’s ethical teachings into educational curricula, especially in Muslim-majority societies, to foster a generation grounded in the practical application of Islamic values in modern life.
Contribution: This study highlights the Quran's ethical teachings as vital for addressing modern challenges, recommending their integration into educational curricula to nurture individuals grounded in practical applications of Islamic values in modern life.

Coffee is one of the plantation commodities that has an important role for the national economy. The dominance of smallholder plantations has made the seedling process one of the keys to the success of coffee cultivation in Indonesia. Optimal seedling growth can be obtained through a good seedling system. One of the efforts to increase the growth seedlings of robusta coffee is by giving shallot extract as a Growth Regulator because it contains auxin. In addition, the addition of KNO3 can optimize nutrient provision. This study aims to determine the response of robusta coffee seedlings due to the application of onion extract and potassium nitrate fertilizer (KNO3). The research was carried out in February – May 2024 at the Jember State Polytechnic Wire House using a Random Group Design Factorial (RGDF) consisting of 2 factors, the first factor was the provision of KNO3 concentration with 3 levels of P0 treatment: 0%; P1: 0.5%; and P2: 1% and the second factor, namely shallot extract with 3 levels of treatment, including; B0: 0%; B1: 50%; and B2: 75%. The results of the study showed that there was an interaction between KNO3 and the addition of shallot extract and affected the growth of Robusta coffee seedlings on the parameters are height, stem diameter, root length, wet weight and dry weight of robusta coffee seedlings. The treatment of KNO3 0.5% and 75% shallot extract (P1B2) gave the best results in Robusta coffee seedlings

Mid-face Morphometrics and Sexual Dimorphism
Authors: Adefisan Idowu Elijah , Iboro Effiong Edet , Adebori Ologunye David
Published: December 2024

This study investigates mid-face morphometrics and sexual dimorphism in a Yoruba population from southwestern Nigeria. A total of 300 participants (112 males, 188 females) aged 16-55 years were examined. Nine mid-facial measurements were taken using standardized anthropometric techniques. Independent samples t-tests revealed significant sexual dimorphism in most variables, with males generally exhibiting larger dimensions. However, nasal height and upper facial height showed no significant differences between sexes. A discriminant function analysis (DFA) was performed to assess the potential for sex determination using these measurements. The DFA model achieved a classification accuracy of 75.3%, with five key variables (left ear width, facial width, nasal width, right ear width, and nasal height) identified as significant discriminators. This accuracy is comparable to similar studies in other populations, suggesting the model's potential utility in forensic applications. The study provides valuable population-specific data on mid-face morphometrics for the Yoruba ethnic group, contributing to the fields of forensic anthropology, plastic surgery, and biometrics. The findings highlight the importance of considering population-specific variations in facial morphology and offer a foundation for future research in facial anthropometry and its applications.
The Impact of Relationships between Elderly Households and Their Children on the Intention to Bequeath Real Estate Assets by Region
Authors:   Korea Real Estate Policy Association, Lim Mihwa
Published: December 2024

This study analyzed whether there were regional differences in the influence of real estate assets and satisfaction with children on the inheritance intention of elderly households by dividing them into metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, cities and rural areas, using survey data on the elderly. As a result, in the case of metropolitan areas, the intention to inherit was found to be approximately 5 times higher in cases with real estate assets than in cases without real estate assets, but in non-metropolitan areas, real estate assets had no significant influence. In non-metropolitan areas, children and satisfaction had a significant effect on the intention to inherit, but in the metropolitan area, it was not significant, but it was found that being ignored as an elderly person in family relationships lowered the intention to inherit. The results of the division into urban and rural areas showed that in urban areas, the intention to inherit was 2.455 times higher in those with real estate assets than in those without, and satisfaction with children increased the intention to inherit by 1.22 times. On the other hand, in rural areas, the influence of real estate assets was not significant, but unlike in urban areas, if there were other assets, the intention to inherit was 1.867 times higher than if there were no assets, and if there was an experience of being ignored as an elderly person, the intention to inherit was 0.572 times higher than if there were no other assets. It was found to have a low effect on inheritance. Even in rural areas, satisfaction with children increased inheritance intention by 1.432 times.

Le piante acquatiche egiziane tra mito ed architettura
Authors: Nardi Samuele
Published: December 2024

In Egitto, il rapporto della popolazione con il fiume Nilo era strettissimo, tanto che la sua fauna e la sua flora erano rappresentati ovunque, dalle tombe ai templi. In particolare, nei templi, caratteristiche sono le colonne che rappresentano, nei propri capitelli, piante acquatiche tipiche della valle del Nilo. Partendo dal tempio di Horus ad Edfu, dove abbiamo la contrapposizione tra il papiro, simbolo dell’Alto Egitto, ed il loto, simbolo del Basso Egitto, e da una descrizione di queste colonne, si potrà osservare la particolare importanza di queste due piante, sia come rimedi naturali che come materie prime, ma anche come riferimento mitologico in relazione a due famosi miti, come la nascita di Horus tra le piante di papiro o quella del dio Atum da un fiore di loto.

Acqua per la Piana di Erbil: il rapporto tra approvvigionamento idrico ed insediamento dal periodo Neo-assiro al Seleucide
Authors: Franco Eleonora
Published: December 2024

Nel presente intervento verrà analizzato il rapporto tra il sistema di approvvigionamento idrico e i cambiamenti nell’occupazione della piana di Erbil (regione del Kurdistan iracheno) dal periodo Neo-Assiro (fine X-fine VII sec. a.C.) al periodo Seleucide (fine IV-metà II sec. a.C.). Come dimostrato da recenti scavi e progetti di ricognizione estensiva della regione, il collasso del sistema neo-assiro, con il conseguente abbandono delle infrastrutture imperiali, comportò un grande cambiamento nello sfruttamento della pianura di Erbil e una contrazione del numero degli insediamenti in quello che era stato il cuore rurale dell’impero.  Le evidenze di una ripresa dal punto di vista dell’occupazione e di una riorganizzazione territoriale sono rintracciabili a partire dal periodo ellenistico, in cui si nota un rinnovato interesse da parte del regno seleucide per una regione che costituisce un’importante area di comunicazione tra il corso del fiume Tigri ad ovest e i monti Zagros ad est.

Introduction:

Depression is among the most common mental illnesses, with an estimated 8.1% of adults in the United States living with the condition. Despite its prevalence, the effect of depression on surgical outcomes is not well studied. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of diagnosed major depressive disorder on postoperative outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods:

This retrospective cohort study used the National Readmissions Database from 2016 to 2019 to evaluate the effect of depression on 30-day outcomes following TKA. Patients with and without a diagnosis of depression were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification/Procedure Coding System (ICD-10) codes. Propensity score matching was employed to balance patient demographics, socioeconomic status, and comorbidities, between the two groups. Multivariate regression analyses were used to assess postoperative outcomes, 30-day readmission, and revision surgery rates.

Results:

Overall, 1,906,980 patients undergoing TKA, 302,853 (15.68%) with a diagnosis of depression, were included in our analysis. After matching, those with depression were more likely to have both medical (odds ratio [OR] 1.90; P < 0.001) and surgical complications (OR 1.86; P < 0.001), including periprosthetic fracture (OR 2.27; P < 0.001). In addition, they had increased odds of 30-day readmission (OR 1.98; P < 0.001) and revision surgery (OR 1.83; P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

Depression is common in the TKA population, with 15.9% of patients having a diagnosis at the time of surgery. Furthermore, these patients experience a greater risk of complications following surgery. They are also at greater risk of requiring readmission or revision surgery. Overall, patients with depression may experience worse outcomes following TKA.

All Enabling Technology Is Not Created Equal: Comparing Outcomes of Computer-Assisted Fluoroscopic Navigation Versus Robotic-Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Bernstein Jenna , Gupta Anshu , Kabiri Mina , Ruppenkamp Jill W. , Goldstein Laura , Diaz Rodrigo
Published: December 2024

Background:

Computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation and robotic technologies aim to optimize implant placement and alignment in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) to improve patient outcomes. This study uses a retrospective hospital billing database covering 1,300 hospitals to compare the clinical and economic effect of these technologies.

Methods:

The study compared patients undergoing THA with robotic versus computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation technologies between January 1, 2016, and September 30, 2021, using the Premier Healthcare Database. Primary outcomes were operating room time and readmission rates. Secondary outcomes were length of stay, discharge status, revision rates within 90- and 365-day follow-up, and hospital costs. Baseline covariate differences between the two cohorts were balanced using fine stratification methodology and analyzed using generalized linear models. A sensitivity analysis was conducted using the nearest neighbor matching as the covariate balancing technique.

Results:

The cohorts included 4,378 fluoroscopically navigated THA and 10,423 robotic-assisted THA procedures with 90-day follow-up. Operating room time was markedly lower with fluoroscopic navigation compared with robotic-assisted technology (137.74 vs. 156.00 minutes; P < 0.001). Hip-related readmission rates were markedly lower (P < 0.001) for fluoroscopic navigation for both 90- and 365-day follow-up, by 43% and 40% respectively, compared with robotic-assisted technology. Results showed increased discharge ratio to home/home health, reduced length of stay, and lower hospital costs for fluoroscopic navigation compared with robotic-assisted technology. Revision rates were similar for both cohorts.

Conclusion:

Using computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation in THA was associated with markedly lower operating room time and readmission rates while also having improved healthcare outcomes and costs compared with robotic-assisted technology.

Revisiting Exile: A Case of Waziristan
Authors: Zahida Khattak
Published: December 2024

This paper aims to analyse Cheegha: The Call from Waziristan, The Last Outpost by Ghulam Qadir with reference to the continuous war in Waziristan.  Waziristan has been at the centre of the conflict since the arrival of the Russian invasion and then after the incident of 9/11. The USA launched drone strikes  after the 9/11 incident to seek out the terrorists who are thought to have found a safe haven in Pakistan. The constant bombardment of drones has destroyed  the customs and traditional folkways. This cultural genocide generated feelings of homelessness and alienation in the people of Waziristan which made them exiled to their land. The notion of exile has already been discussed in relation to the experience of migration or expulsion from the homeland.  However, this paper appropriates the concept of exile to include the category of those people who have become exilic from within. It seeks to analyse the  effects of continuous war via the projection of displaced feelings of the people of Waziristan. By integrating the theoretical perspective on exile developed by Avatar Brah, Bill Ashcroft, William Safran, Paul Gilroy, and Edward Said, and cultural genocide as theorised by Raphael Lemkin, Elisa Novice, and Lawrence  Davidson, I attempt to highlight that the exiled are not necessarily migrants from another country but rather it is possible to be exiled within the boundaries  of their homeland due to the loss of culture, folkways, and traditions.
Key Terms: exile, Waziristan, cultural genocide, homeland.

State Cyber Warfare: The Strategic Shift Towards Private Sector Targets
Authors: Çalışkan Esra Merve
Published: December 2024

The increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks targeting private sector infrastructure, including those with potential state involvement, represents an emerging security challenge with profound implications for national security and economic stability. This research examines patterns in advanced persistent threats (APTs) targeting private enterprises, focusing particularly on campaigns suspected of state involvement based on their complexity, resource requirements, and strategic objectives. Drawing on a comprehensive literature review and theoretical analysis, this study investigates the drivers and consequences of this evolving cyber threat landscape. The findings indicate that this strategic shift toward private sector targets serves multiple objectives for state actors, including technological competition, economic disruption, and the exploitation of vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure. The analysis demonstrates that these cyber operations represent an expansion of state strategic options, complementing rather than replacing traditional military capabilities. Recent international conflicts reveal that cyber operations often operate alongside conventional military activities, creating a more complex security environment where digital and physical domains are contested simultaneously. The study proposes new frameworks for enhanced public-private cooperation in cyber defense and targeted policy measures to protect essential private sector infrastructure. Addressing these emerging threats requires unprecedented levels of international collaboration and innovative approaches to cybersecurity, with significant ramifications for national security policy and global economic stability. This research examines evolving cyber warfare tactics, underscoring the need to reassess traditional security paradigms in an increasingly interconnected digital world.
