Enhanced DNA Extraction Protocol for Larvae and Adult Specimens of Clostera cupreata (Butler) (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae): A Key Leaf Defoliator of Poplar Trees
Authors: Kumar Jitendra , Kumar Arvind , Singh Aanchal , Meena Rajendra Kumar
Published: September 2024

The CTAB DNA isolation protocol for both larval and adult specimens of Clostera cupreata has optimized with modifications included adjusting the concentrations of EDTA, SDS, and NaCl; substituting liquid nitrogen with extraction buffer for sample homogenization; and extending the incubation, mixing, and precipitation time period. This modified protocol ease of use and efficiency allow for the quick extraction of high-quality, high-yield entire genomic DNA using common reagents and equipment used in molecular laboratories. This will enable the documentation of genetic variability based on biotypes, facilitating studies on the emergence, distribution, and population dynamics of C. cupreata. To preserve the integrity of the extracted DNA, stringent measures are implemented to prevent contamination from various biological by-products, including proteins, salts, phenols, and polysaccharides. We have verified the quality and purity of the obtained DNA samples through standard quality assessments. The A260/A280 ratios consistently fall within the range of 1.80 to 1.88, providing further validation of the integrity and suitability of the isolated DNA by performing polymerase chain reaction analysis using mitochondrial COI primer. This approach is suitable for a wide range of molecular applications. Our extraction protocol yields high-quality DNA that may be used for sophisticated molecular processes like gene cloning, conventional polymerase chain reaction for genotyping, next-generation sequencing and barcode synthesis. Furthermore, this approach has potential as a preventive diagnostic tool for detecting invasive lepidopteran larval stages.

Authors: Khan Aneela , Khan Muhammad , Hussain Nazakat
Published: September 2024

This study aims to examine the non-linear impact of debt maturity structure on earnings management (EM) in international data settings. Panel dataset of 5129 non-financial listed firms from 9 Asian Emerging Economies (AEE) is analyzed covering the period from 2000 to 2021. EM is measured using Accrual-Based Earnings Management (AEM) and Real Activity-Based Earnings Management (REM). Debt is categorized into Total Financial Debt (TFD), Short-Term Debt (STD), and Long-Term Debt (LTD). Based on fixed effect regression model, results clearly reveal presence of non-linear relationship between debt maturities and EM. The study provides the evidence that firms of AEEs are engaged in accrual as well as real earnings management to report their earnings.TFD and STD have positive where as LTD has negative impact on AEM at low debt level. In the similar vein, TFD and STD have negative where as LTD has no impact on REM. The findings also demonstrate substitution of REM for AEM at varying debt levels. This study offer valuable insight for investors, creditors, policy makers, auditors and researchers.
Nanophotonic for Efficient Light Harvesting in Greenhouse Agriculture
Authors: Dr. Amba Prasad
Published: September 2024

Nanophotonic has become of great interest as the next-generation strategy towards improving the capture of light efficiency in greenhouse agriculture. The spectral, angular, and polarization properties of sunlight can be tailored by nanophotonic structures through the precise manipulation of light at the nanoscale, hence improving the quality and quantity of light reaching the plants. It will make sure that the most useful wavelengths for photosynthesis reach the crops for healthy growth and maximum agricultural productivity. It is also expected that the utilization of nanophotonic materials, such as photonic crystals and plasmonic nanostructures, will contribute to further energy efficiency in reducing light loss and improving light diffusion inside the greenhouse.
Indeed, the materials and methods that have gone into developing these nanophotonic technologies involve detailed design, fabrication, and integration of nanostructures into greenhouse settings. It also discusses experimental and simulation-based results showing how nanophononics can improve crop yield and energy consumption. This paper goes further to explore the possible applications of the technology in sustainable agricultural practices and the global necessity of increased food production due to climate change. Nanophotonic applications bridge nanotechnology with agriculture for a complete turnabout in greenhouse farming, offering a development path for increased productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental sustainability.

Published: September 2024

Economic growth prioritizes building and strengthening sectors in the economic field by developing, improving and maximizing resources. West Java Province is one of the provinces that has a large economic contribution to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). West Java Province has a diverse economic base. The indicator used to see the macroeconomic conditions in a region is by looking at the Gross Domestic Product (GRDP) in the region. The purpose of this study was to determine the agricultural sub-sector included in the leading sector (base) and to determine the shift of the agricultural sub-sector in West Java Province and the classification of Klassen typology in the economic sector in West Java Province. This study uses secondary data in the form of the value of the Gross Regional Domestic Product of West Java Province and the Indonesian Gross Domestic Product at constant 2010 prices by business field from 2019 to 2023. The data is processed using location quentient (LQ) analysis tools, shift share analysis (SSA) and Klassen typology analysis. The results of the location quentient (LQ) analysis show that the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries sector is a non-base sector in West Java Province. The results of shift share analysis (SSA) show that the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Sector has a positive influence on regional economic growth (Nij) of Rp. 12,925 billion, Industry Mix (Mij) of Rp. -5,183 billion and competitive advantage (Cij) of Rp. 910,074 billion. The results of the Klassen typology analysis show that the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Sector is a developed but depressed sector, so it is hoped that the West Java Provincial Government will accelerate growth by increasing output and absorbing more labor.

Sport – Fitness – Culture
Authors: Volkwein-Caplan Karin
Published: September 2024

Sport Fitness Culture focuses on the influences of culture and society on human movement, such as sport, physical activity, and fitness. The text introduces and analyzes current issues of importance for those concerned with human movement and culture, whether it is in the context of teaching physical education, coordinating/ marketing sport and recreational programs, coaching or serving the general population - young and old - with any form of physical activity. Sport Fitness Culture incorporates interdisciplinary, cutting-edge work reflecting various research paradigms from these theoretical perspectives: sociology, psychology, history, philosophy, anthropology, gender and race studies and cultural studies. The fact that more and more people of all ages are participating in sport and physical activity means that serious attention must be paid to increasing awareness of the positive as well as the negative effects of such involvement. Indeed, sport has become a major socio-cultural factor in people's lives. In the USA, there is hardly anyone who is not touched by this movement; however, people have very different experiences based on their cultural and socio-economic background, including gender, race/ethnicity, age, ability, as well as their sexual and religious orientations. This book will educate people about the importance of socio-cultural as well as psychological factors influencing people's choices, opportunities, experiences and limitations in the domain of human movement.

Demokratie und Gemeinschaft
Authors: Nancy Jean-Luc
Published: September 2024

Wie muss eine Demokratie beschaffen sein, wenn sie die Individuen nicht in einem bloßen Nebeneinander organisieren, sondern den Horizont ihres gemeinsamen Sinnerlebens und den Schauplatz ihres Mit-Seins eröffnen will? Peter Engelmann und Jean-Luc Nancy diskutieren im vierten Band der Reihe Passagen Gespräche die Bedingungen der Möglichkeit einer radikalen Demokratie. Im Gespräch mit Peter Engelmann erläutert Jean-Luc Nancy sein Konzept einer radikalen Demokratie. Im Mittelpunkt seiner Überlegungen steht die Kategorie der Gemeinschaft. Hierbei geht es Nancy vor allem darum, diesen vorbelasteten Begriff ohne Inanspruchnahme metaphysischer Erklärungsmuster ins Spiel zu bringen. Das so erarbeitete Konzept der Gemeinschaft als Garant einer Zirkulation des Sinns erlaubt neben einer theoretisch aufschlussreichen wie konkret-fasslichen Einschätzung historischer Totalitarismen auch eine Abgrenzung gegenüber den scheindemokratischen Verwaltungsregimen des Kapitalismus. Die Diskussion schlägt dergestalt immer wieder einen Bogen zwischen historisch-politischer Analyse und theoretischer Reflexion. Nicht zuletzt wird dabei deutlich, wie sehr die zahlreichen und vielfältigen Ansätze Nancys ineinandergreifen und einen engen Zusammenhang bilden, der schlussendlich im Konzept der Demokratie kulminiert.
Sportökonomie
Authors: Trosien Gerhard
Published: September 2024

Sport ist längst nicht mehr "die schönste Nebensache der Welt". Neben der gemeinnützigen Sportbewegung, in die Marketingüberlegungen Einzug gehalten haben, haben sich Gesundheits- und Fitnessmärkte entwickelt, die nach den Gesetzen von Angebot und Nachfrage funktionieren. Hier bilden "Sport-Hopper", "-Zapper" und "-User" wichtige Größen für Trends, Booms und Moden. Wirtschaftliches Sporthandeln schließt daher die Produktion, Distribution und die Konsumtion von Sportgütern, d. h. Sportartikeln, Sportgeräten und Sportstätten, ein. Das Lehrbuch gibt aktuelle Einblicke in die ökonomischen Zusammenhänge rund um das Sporttreiben und daraus resultierende Angebote, Märkte und Organisationen. Es entwirft eine Sportwirtschaftslehre, deren Grundlagen und Grundsätze auf einfache und überzeugende Weise innerhalb von 15 Lektionen erläutert werden. Einer knappen Sportwirtschaftsgeschichte folgen mikro-, meso- und makroökonomische Fragestellungen bezüglich des Sportkonsums, zu den Sportmärkten oder zur Sportinfrastruktur. Der Aufbau der Lektionen folgt den bewährten Mustern von Lehr- und Handbüchern. Angaben zu weiterführender Literatur erhöhen die Übersichtlichkeit.

Authors: Ebrahimi Sedigheh , Bazrafshan Amir , Kamyab Amirhossein , Pakdin Majid , Ebrahimi Alireza
Published: September 2024

Background: Suppression of negative, uncomfortable emotions can lead to moral injury, resulting in emotional, behavioral, and social issues, as well as mental health conditions such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of moral injury-typically associated with conflict situations—has gained increased attention. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of moral injury during the pandemic and its correlation with psychological distress. Methods: Between December 2020 and January 2021, we evaluated the frequency of depression, anxiety, and stress, and their correlation with moral injury in 333 medical interns, residents, and nurses. We used validated versions of the Moral Injury Symptom Scale-Healthcare Professionals (MISS-HP) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). Results: The study included 333 medical professionals, most of whom were aged 26 - 30. Clinically significant moral injuries were observed in nearly half of the participants. Women had higher average scores for stress and anxiety compared to men. A lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) at the workplace was associated with increased depression, anxiety, and stress. Nurses reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress than other healthcare professionals. Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between moral injury and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Female participants experienced higher rates of moral injury than male participants, and single individuals reported more suffering than married ones. Moral injury was notably higher among nurses compared to other healthcare professionals. Conclusions: The study found that healthcare professionals experienced anxiety, stress, depression, and moral injury during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moral injury was strongly associated with increased stress, worry, and depression. Female healthcare professionals exhibited higher levels of anxiety and stress, while being married appeared to offer some protection against depression. Nurses were particularly vulnerable, with end-stage patients and insufficient resources contributing to elevated levels of anxiety, stress, and moral injury.

World Trade Law and Access to Medicines: Reassessing Protection of Pharmaceutical Patents Under the TRIPS Agreement
Authors:   , Sundaram Jawahar Narayanan
Published: September 2024

The World Trade Organization (WTO) introduced numerous multilateral agreements to the GATT framework, and the TRIPS Agreement was one such agreement. One of the rights protected under the TRIPS Agreement is patent rights, which include pharmaceutical inventions. The implementation of the TRIPS Agreement required the introduction of TRIPS-compliant domestic IP legislation in both developed country- and developing country- Member States of the WTO. This also witnessed the creation of barriers in the access to affordable medicines in developing countries and least developed countries (LDCs). It also witnessed transnational pharmaceutical corporations (TNPCs) engage in direct legal battles with Member States in their own domestic courts either to challenge judicial decisions or to challenge the veracity of national legislation. Although it is close to 30-years since the TRIPS Agreement came into force, the problem of access to medicines have not gone away. In the post-WTO era, the developed country Member States led by the likes of the United States (US), and the European Union (EU) have proceeded to finalise free trade/regional trade agreements (RTAs) with developing country Member States, which invariably contain cleverly crafted TRIPS-plus provisions, which require contracting parties to waive the right to the use of flexibilities guaranteed under the TRIPS Agreement. This brings us back to the debate if there is a need for a global protection of IP rights under the WTO. The question of global protection of IP rights, per se, under the WTO is beyond the remit of this research project, but the question if extended IP rights protection is to be accorded to pharmaceutical patents under the multilateral trading systems is very much at the core of the discussion. The debate on both questions have raged, but the latter has persisted and has not been clearly dealt with at the multilateral level and resolved. The author of the current research project has carried out detailed case studies on access to medicines and pharmaceutical patent rights covering five countries and spread over three continents (see portfolio of publications). The peer reviewed publications also include a jurisprudential enquiry into the justification of granting patent rights to pharmaceutical patents and a monograph on the continuing problem of access to medicines in the post-WTO TRIPS era (see portfolio of publications). The current research also seeks to raise additional questions, explore additional avenues of enquiry on the debate, and integrate and synthesise the portfolio of the author’s publications through required commentary. The question ‘should the WTO TRIPS Agreement be modified/ amended to exclude pharmaceutical patents from its remit of extended IP rights protection?’ will form the basis of enquiry for the project.
The Expression of Walter De Ville’s Love Language in The Invitation Movie

Published: September 2024

The motive of this takes a look at is to analyze the principal individual in the film "The Invitation". This research uses a descriptive qualitative technique, with facts taken from the movie, within the shape of pictures or screenshots, in addition to the conversation in the movie. The concept used to discuss the language of love is the principle proposed by Dr. Gary Chapman, a couples counseling expert who brought the idea of the five love languages possessed through people. Love language is an idea that explains how a person expresses actions to some other individual as a form of love. The five love languages are words of affirmation, receiving gifts, acts of service, quality time, and physical touch. This takes a look at, it is analyzed how the principal character’s movements using these five love languages toward the woman man, or woman make her feel deeply loved. This research is expected to offer further information on the software of affection language theory in film media and how expressions of love can affect relationships among characters.
Optimizing Spin Lifetime Enhancement in Graphene-Based Spintronic Devices through Interface Engineering
Authors: Udoisoh Moses G.
Published: September 2024

We investigated the impact of interface engineering on spin lifetime in graphene-based spintronic devices using theoretical modeling and simulations. Our results showed that optimized interface engineering increased spin lifetime by up to 300% and reduced spin relaxation rates by up to 50% compared to pristine graphene. Modifying electron-phonon coupling strength and interface engineering parameters enhanced spin lifetime from 1.2 ns to 4.5 ns and reduced spin relaxation rate from 1.1×10^8 s^(-1) to 5.5×10^7 s^(-1). These findings demonstrate the potential of interface engineering for improving graphene-based spintronic devices. Our results provide quantitative guidelines for device design and optimization, highlighting the importance of considering interface engineering in graphene-based spintronics. This research paves the way for the development of high-performance graphene-based spintronic devices.
Golden Ratio Realistically and Theoretically
Authors: Kholtemirov Abdulmalik
Published: September 2024

The cognitive approach is gaining popularity not only in psychology, but also among many physicists. New connections have been established between distant areas of science. This article attempts to explore the relationship between landscape studies based on landscape ecology and aesthetics, which materializes primarily in the arts. Mathematics gives optics for study, and tourism benefits from this. The golden ratio, which was already understood and used by ancient people, appears often in compositions (paintings, statues, musical works, literary works, constructions, etc.) deemed to be attractive, as well as in natural processes. This led to the idea of carrying out mathematical calculations in the field of landscape aesthetics, which is closely related to nature tourism. These formulas allow to determine the presence of the golden ratio in landscapes. For these estimates, two approaches, or aesthetic indicators, have been offered. These factors rank landscapes, making it easier for travelers to choose a place.
Monarchy and Its Role in Nation Building in Nepal: Unveiling Myths and Historical Realities
Authors: Sapkota Dhaka Ram , Kafle Dol Raj
Published: September 2024

This study critically examines the role of the Shah monarchs in nation-building, exploring the intersection of historical reality and myth. Despite their significant influence, the Shah kings are often viewed through a lens of folklore and myth, which may obscure their actual contributions to national development. Nepal, one of Asia’s oldest nations, boasts a rich history spanning over three millennia, during which it has been governed by various dynasties, with the Shah dynasty being the most recent (1768-2006). Situated between China and India, Nepal is known for its diverse historical kings, including the Kiranti, Lichhavi, Malla, and Shah dynasties. This study investigates how the Shah Dynasty, particularly under Prithvi Narayan Shah, contributed to the formation of modern Nepal and the shaping of national identity. The research addresses two primary questions: Shah Dynasty’s impact on nation-building and the contemporary perceptions of their contributions. Utilizing historical methods, this study seeks to clarify the historical accuracy of these myths and their effects on current national identity and development.

Published: September 2024

In this work We offer an Arduino Uno based system to measure heart rate and Spo2 based on wavelength. We aim to design a device that is easy to use for the aged people and pregnant women in critical situations, which no longer requires a long time to measure. 
This proposed work was accomplished using an Arduino Uno microcontroller, red infrared LEDs, photo sensors, and photodiodes. In this work, we demonstrate that we can use small devices as an alternative to large devices to measure the health effects on the human body, and it is even possible to use devices much smaller than this device. The proposed system was designed in a laboratory-scale prototype to experimentally verify the system's efficiency, reliability and low cost. 
We note that the proposed system can be easily tested and implemented under real conditions on a large scale in the near future, which will be useful in future applications for monitoring human health with small, and easy-touse devices.
