The Interplay of Simulacrum, Hyper-reality and Distorted Identity in Hamid’s Fiction: A Postmodern Paradigm
Authors: Chaudhary Fariha , Zahid Syeda Amarah
Published: March 2022

The present research is an exploration of the interplay between simulacrum, hyper-reality and identity as presented in Hamid’s fiction. Simulation and hyper-reality created through media and globalization profoundly affect the socio-cultural identities of the various male and female characters in the novel in both positive and negative ways. Furthermore, consumer capitalism, westernization and hyper-mediated experiences make the characters believe in false realities thus leading them to chaos and identity crisis. These hyper-realties push the characters to undergo mental, emotional, psychological and socio-cultural conflicts. Thus, in an attempt to seek their identity and true self through blind imitation of the western culture, they are led further away from their cultural roots. The theoretical insights for this study shall be drawn from postmodern theory, specifically Baudrillard’s concept of simulacrum and hyper-reality. This qualitative inquiry shall be carried out by close reading and analysis of the selected textual lines in the context of the chosen framework. The significance of this research lies in the fact that it demonstrates how fictional characters specifically and humans generally are increasingly pushed to dwell in a hyper-reality created through simulation due to globalization. The repercussions of which are far reaching including a crisis of one’s own identity and perception of self in a society that is increasingly being disoriented due to the flux of globalization.
A Review on Various Methods for the Cross-linking of Polymers

Published: March 2022

Cross-Linking the carbon atoms suffices to transform such material intoa superior material that may be resistant to temperature, pressure, corrosion, and that can be used in a variety of applications. Cross Linking is a stabilization process in polymer chemistry which leads to multidimensional extension of polymeric chain resulting in network structure. Cross-link is a bond which links one polymer chain to other. It can be ionic or covalent. Cross Linking changes a liquid polymer into ‘solid’ or ‘gel’ by restricting the ability of movement. When polymer chains are linked together by cross-links, they lose some of their ability to move as individual polymer chains. A liquid polymer (where the chains are freely flowing) can be turned into a ‘solid’ or ‘gel’ by cross-Linking the chains together. Cross Linking increases the molecular mass of a polymer. Cross-linked polymers are important because they are mechanically strong and resistant to heat, wear and attack by solvents. Cross-link property has been used to improve the insolubility, mechanical strength, stiffness, and rigidity of polymer microbeads having potential applications in solid-phase synthesis, solid-phase extraction, and biomedical fields. Hydrogels represents a class of high-water content polymers with physical or chemical crosslinks. Their physical properties are similar to soft tissues. A popular approach to attaining controlled drug delivery from polymer-based systemsinvolves the use of cross-linkers. In order to improve the properties of polymers specific toothier applications, they can be modified by either physical cross-linkers (high pressure, irradiation) or chemical cross-linkers (glutraldehyde, genipin).Therefore, synthesis of polymer with desired cross-linker (hydrophilic/hydrophobic/rigid/flexible) and concentration of cross-linker (cross-link density) is an important.Polyethylene (PE) once cross linked is advantageously employed in the fabrication of blanket insulation for electrical and telephone wires, pipes for the transport of cold and hot liquids, prostheses for the human body. In the present review, chemical cross-Linking by free-radical, condensation, UV radiation, and small-molecule cross-Linking are discussed in details.

Authors: Lee Soo Jin , Won Yeo Kyoung , Lim Dong Hui
Published: March 2022

Orthokeratology adopts reverse geometry rigid gas-permeable contact lenses to alter the corneal shape and hence refractive power. The effect is transient; therefore, the users need to wear the orthokeratology lenses during night time while asleep, so that they can avoid wearing glasses during daytime. The compressive forces of the reverse geometry rigid lenses may disrupt the corneal epithelium and extended overnight wear may potentiate various side effects, such as lens-corneal binding, corneal staining, microbial keratitis, chronic allergic conjunctivitis and lens decentration. In this article, we conducted a systemic review to summarize the major complications associated with orthokeratology lens use and solutions.

Introduction to Restricted Neutrosophic Set and Its Application
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, Umakanta Academy, Agartala-799001, Tripura, India, admin admin
Published: March 2022

This paper is devoted to introduce a novel concept known as restricted neutrosophic set (RNS) as another subclass of neutrosophic set (NS). The purpose of introducing the notion of RNS is to give a new mathematical theory that is more promising and purposeful than the existing fuzzy-centric theories to solve the uncertainty based real-world problems in a lucid manner. From decision-makers point of view, the new mathematical tool can be viewed as a direct extension of Pythagorean neutrosophic set (PNS). The PNS has its own inherent limitation for which the decision-makers can’t answer a certain type of problem. For example, in a certain problem, if we consider the degree of truth-membership =0.8, degree of indeterminate-membership , and the degree of falsity-membership =0.8, then it gives an absurd result under PNS. To remove such kind of absurdity, there is a demand to introduce another superior set-theoretical concept that provides more information for the decision-makers. This gives rise to the introduction of RNS. In RNS, we choose any value belongs to for the three membership degrees so that their product always limited to 1. So, the beauty of RNS is that it can accommodate more information within small range with relaxed membership values i.e under RNS we can consider the maximum membership triplet as . Undoubtedly the RNS gives more compact set-theoretical model to describe imprecise knowledge with ease. Finally, a decision-making approach based algorithm is introduced and applied to solve medical diagnosis problem.
Preduodenal Portal Vein And Polysplenia: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: McCarley Saudia , Qatanani Anas , Malat Jaclyn , Bamberger P. Kurt
Published: March 2022

Preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) is a rare anomaly in which the portal vein courses anterior to the second part of the duodenum. PDPV is often associated with other congenital anomalies such as polysplenia, malrotation and pancreatic anomalies. We report an elderly male with Stage IIB esophageal adenocarcinoma. Incidental findings on staging computed tomography (CT) included an anomalous preduodenal and presplenic portal vein and polysplenia, though the patient did not present with any symptoms related to these findings. Post-neoadjuvant chemoradiation, the patient underwent an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. Appreciating the anomalous tract of the portal vein anterior to the pancreas and duodenum from the preoperative images, we were able to perform duodenal mobilization (Kocher manuever) without vessel injury. Since, PDPV is often an asymptomatic and incidental finding in adults, serious surgical complications may occur if not appreciated on preoperative imaging or intraoperatively. Heightened awareness of PDPV and other associated anomalies remains vital to a safe procedure in all ages.

DESIGN CHALLENGES OF SOLVING CIRCULAR GEOMETRY IN RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
Authors: Zankar Rayan , El-Kaaki Lana , Fares Jameel
Published: March 2022

A dimensional geometrical shape such as a circular shape has been established all throughout the history of building design planning in order to find out the suitable arrangements for the living spaces: One of the most unusual designs planning in architecture is circular planning. Moreover, residential buildings that contain a circular plan are not built that frequently as well, but they still are a part of architecture since prehistoric times. Unfortunately, there are significant issues in such buildings, such as a structural challenge within the design module with orientation problems. In other words, there is a missing of the optimum use of space with acoustic problems including difficulties of furnishing. This paper therefore aims to provide the evidence that the geometry of a tiny minority of residential buildings are circular, and it questions why this is so. In addition, it intends to encourage the use of this type of buildings and to propose innovative design methods that can be applied in the circular residential buildings, trying to justify the architectural spaces to fit with the curvilinear walls and the recognition of the advantages produced within such buildings. To achieve this aim, this paper will begin by presenting literature review, based on desk research, carried out by re-reading the philosophical background of circular plans and its function. After that, the paper will theoretically highlight the historical use of circular-plan residential buildings, and will clarify the solution of design module, structural and services’ cores, circulation between apartments, terraces, and external walls, within the curvy design. The paper will investigate two case studies such as “Tour Lumière” 2017 by Jacques Ferrier in France, Paris and “Edelweiss Residence” 2010 by Matteo Thun & Partners in Austria as a consequence to comprehend their project's concept and how they solved the circular form of their buildings.

Religious populism in Israel: The case of Shas
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Yilmaz Ihsan , Morieson Nicholas
Published: March 2022

Since the 1990s, populism has become increasingly prevalent in Israeli politics. While scholars and commentators have often focused on the populist rhetoric used by Benjamin Netanyahu, his is hardly the only manifestation of populism within Israel. For example, Shas, a right-wing populist party which seeks to represent Sephardic and Haredi interests within Israel, emerged in the 1980s and swiftly became the third largest party in the country, a position it has maintained since the mid 1990s. Shas is unique insofar as it merges religion, populism, and Sephardic and Haredi Jewish identity and culture. Indeed, Shas is not merely a political party, but a religious movement with its own schools and religious network, and it possesses both secular and religious leaders. In this article, we examine the religious populism of Shas and investigate both the manner in which the party constructs Israeli national identity and the rhetoric used by its secular and religious leadership to generate demand for the party’s religious and populist solutions to Israel’s social and economic problems. We show how the party instrumentalizes Sephardic ethnicity and culture and Haredi religious identity, belief, and practice, by first highlighting the relative disadvantages experienced by these communities and positing that Israeli “elites” are the cause of this disadvantaged position. We also show how Shas elevates Sephardic and Haredi identity above all others and claims that the party will restore Sephardic culture to its rightful and privileged place in Israel.

Menimbang Gagasan Islamisasi Ilmu-ilmu Sosial; Studi Kritis atas Pemikiran Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi
Authors: Muhyidin Muhyidin , Mutmainnah Dewi
Published: March 2022

The idea of Islamization of knowledge in essence emerged as a response to the dichotomy between religious science and science that the secular West and modern culture introduced into the Islamic world. The progress achieved by modern science has had an amazing effect, but on the other hand it has also had a negative impact, because modern (Western) science has dry values or is separated from religious values.  In addition, the Islamization of Science is also a reaction to the crisis in the education system faced by Muslims, namely the dualism of the Islamic education system and modern (secular) education which confuses Muslims. According to Al-Faruqi, Islamization is an effort to understand and rebuild social and natural sciences in which there are Islamic elements, so that they change to be in line with Islamic orientation.  And every scientific discipline must cultivate Islamic principles whose methodology is imbued with the spirit of monotheism, which includes: the principle of the oneness of God, the unity of the universe, the unity of truth and knowledge, the unity of life, and the unity of mankind

A Cell That Acts Like a Pill: Using iPSC-Derived Cholinergic Neurons to Treat Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Ding Cynthia Xiaochen
Published: March 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common subtype of dementia, affects approximately 44 million people worldwide. One of the most major and direct causes of AD, as proposed by the cholinergic hypothesis, is a severe deficiency of cholinergic neurons located in the basal forebrain. This paper proposes a novel approach of using replacement therapy to treat Alzheimer’s disease with stem cell technology. The overarching idea is to inject new cholinergic neurons, which are developed from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), into the brains of AD patients to reverse the cholinergic deficit outlined in the cholinergic hypothesis. The proposed idea is founded on a similar study carried out recently by a team lead by Jeffrey S. Schweitzer that used iPSCs to create dopaminergic neurons which were injected into the brain of a Parkinson’s disease patient and has been proven successful. The proposed treatment development plan would consist of three stages: development of induced pluripotent stem cells and differentiation into basal forebrain acetylcholinergic progenitor cells (APCs); animal studies where researchers inject APCs into the basal forebrain of AD mice models and track progress and improvement in cognitive behavior; and clinical trials involving volunteer AD patients when the procedure of APC development and injection will be repeated, and results will be analyzed. The resulting effects of this treatment can be expected to yield medical, economic, and social benefits.

Embora já sejam obrigatórios em vários países, o Brasil ainda está caminhando no assunto. Diante dessa demanda, a Sobrac São Paulo e a Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de São Paulo realizaram o “Primeiro Seminário FAU USP sobre Mapeamento Sonoro”.
Effects of climate on bank default
Authors: Oliveira Guilherme Resende
Published: March 2022

Developing countries are more vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. The access to credit has been highlighted as crucial to the investment in adaptation strategies and to build resilient economies, but bank lending behavior in response to climatic shocks is still not well understood. The demand for credit is expected to increase in periods of extreme climate events, but loan delinquency rates would likely go up as well. In recent decades, Brazil has already experienced unusual climate variability with severe droughts in the Northeastern region, the most populous semiarid area in the world. The Bank of the Northeast (BNB), a public bank that has been used to implement local development policies, has lent over US$ 20 billion since the earmarking of funds for regional development in the Constitution of 1988. This study examines the impact of climatic shocks on the BNB’s credit operations and delinquency rates when several climatic events occurred over the period of 2002-2013. The econometric regressions method was used with fixed-effects panel data and its estimates indicate that deviations of temperature and precipitation from their annual mean increased default rates considerably.  One of the factors that affects bank defaults may be the reduction in agricultural production, since default rates are higher in this sector, which suffers from the income reduction of producers whom are affected by these climate variations.

A crescente urbanização dos últimos tempos, evidencia a importância da realização de trabalhos referentes ao clima urbano. Assim, o objetivo foi avaliar as condições microclimáticas, termo higrométricas e de ilhas de calor em Cuiabá-MT. Durante novembro de 2017 a outubro de 2018, utilizou-se os dados das estações do INMET e do Aeroporto Internacional Marechal Rondon, além dos dados termo higrométricos que foram coletados por transecto móvel, através de um sensor conectado na lateral de um veículo automotor. Com o início sempre às 20h00 local, o transecto móvel passou por dezesseis pontos, sendo finalizado em um prazo de 1h00. A caracterização microclimática representou o clima característico de Cuiabá, com temperatura do ar variando de 22,86 a 27,89°C em junho e setembro, respectivamente e, a umidade relativa do ar variando de 49,23 a 79,06% em setembro e fevereiro, respectivamente. A precipitação máxima ocorreu em fevereiro, com 321,96 mm, a direção dos ventos foi predominantemente norte e noroeste e a velocidade dos ventos não ultrapassou 3,61 m.s-1. A caracterização termo higrométrica mostrou-se adequada e foi validada, demonstrando que a forma de ocupação do solo urbano é um fator determinante na modificação do comportamento termo higrométrico. Quanto às ilhas de calor, no período quente-úmido a magnitude variou de fraca a moderada, com diferença de até 2,66°C e no período quente-seco variou de fraca a forte, com diferença de até 4,38°C. Considera-se que o presente estudo possa contribuir para o meio cientifico e para os gestores públicos, permitindo um melhor entendimento das variações microclimáticas e termo higrométricas de Cuiabá, principalmente nas áreas de expansão, possibilitando a avaliação da influência das anomalias termo higrométricas existentes nas áreas urbanas consolidadas.

Published: March 2022

Współczesne i przyszłe procesy zmian w edukacji mają charaktery wielowymiarowy. Opierają się na kierunkach odnoszących się do podmiotu, celu, metod i technik nauczania. Rozwój edukacji na rzecz bezpieczeństwa wiąże się ściśle z refleksją nad człowiekiem i jego funkcjonowaniem w środowisku. Obecnie największy nacisk kładzie się na rozwijanie osobowości, kompetencji i świadomości ludzi. Kształcenie w zakresie bezpieczeństwa powinno być traktowane priorytetowo, dlatego szczególnie istotna jest motywacja ludzi do podjęcia działań na rzecz podniesienia poziomu bezpieczeństwa człowieka. Analizując dotychczasowe rozważania nad istotą edukacji dla bezpieczeństwa oraz opierając się na powszechnie realizowanych działaniach praktycznych, w artykule podjęto próbę ukazania współczesnego wymiaru tego zagadnienia w Polsce. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie istotnych filarów tworzących system edukacji na rzecz bezpieczeństwa, na które składają się między innymi współpraca instytucji oświatowych, organizacji pozarządowych i służb mundurowych. Istotne jest także ukazanie wpływu nowoczesnych technologii na efektywność kształcenia. W artykule przedstawiono systemowe i kompleksowe podejście do realizacji zadań z zakresu przeciwdziałania zagrożeniom, kształtowania świadomości społeczeństwa, a także istotę współdziałania edukacji formalnej i pozainstytucjonalnej jako warunku budowy trwałego systemu bezpieczeństwa państwa.
