Improving Mobile Ad hoc Networks through an investigation of AODV, DSR, and MP-OLSR Routing Protocols
Authors: Khan Hameed , Kushwah Kamal K , Thakur Jitendra S , Soni Gireesh G , Tripathi Abhishek
Published: April 2024

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) pose a dynamically organized wireless network, posing a challenge to establishing quality of service (QoS) due to limitations in bandwidth and the ever-changing network topology. These networks are created by assembling nodes systematically, lacking a central infrastructure, and dynamically linking devices such as mobile phones and tablets. Nodes employ diverse methods for service delivery, all while giving priority to network performance. The effectiveness of protocols is crucial in determining the most efficient paths between source and destination nodes, ensuring the timely delivery of messages. Collaborative agreements with MANETs improve accessibility, allow for partial packet delivery and manage network load, ultimately minimizing delays and contributing to exceptional carrier performance. This article conducts a comparative analysis of simulation parameters for AODV, DSR, and MP-OLSR protocols to explore QoS limitations associated with different routing protocols. The study primarily focuses on evaluating various quality metrics for service improvement, assessing protocol performance. Simulation results underscore the DSR protocol's 80% superior throughput compared to AODV and MP-OLSR. However, in terms of delay and packet delivery ratio, the hybrid protocol outperforms both AODV and DSR protocols. These findings provide a distinct perspective for testing the compliance services of MANETs.
Topological generation of simple algebraic groups

Published: April 2024

Let

G

be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field and let

X

be an irreducible subvariety of 

G^{r}

with

r \geqslant 2

. In this paper, we consider the general problem of determining if there exists a tuple

(x_{1}, \ldots, x_{r}) \in X

such that

\langle x_{1}, \ldots, x_{r} \rangle

is Zariski dense in 

G

. We are primarily interested in the case where

X = C_{1} \times \cdots \times C_{r}

and each

C_{i}

is a conjugacy class of 

G

comprising elements of prime order modulo the center of 

G

. In this setting, our main theorem gives a complete solution to the problem when

G

is a symplectic or orthogonal group. By combining our results with earlier work on linear and exceptional groups, this gives an almost complete solution for all simple algebraic groups. We also present several applications. For example, we use our main theorem to show that many faithful representations of symplectic and orthogonal groups are generically free. We also establish new asymptotic results on the probabilistic generation of finite simple groups by pairs of prime order elements, completing a line of research initiated by Liebeck and Shalev over 25 years ago.

Land-use and ceramics in the Andean highlands of Patagonia, Argentina
Authors: Franchetti Fernando , Barton Loukas , Otaola Clara , Giardina Miguel , Sugrañes Nuria
Published: April 2024

The aim of this paper is to study the use of ceramics of small-scale societies during the late Holocene in northern Patagonia. The technological investment model predicts that use-time and utility will determine the investment spent in ceramics. We explore how ceramics were used in short-term camps and aggregation sites during summer at high elevations, and residential camps during winter at lower elevations. To test the investment in ceramics we use four technological variables: temper size, average thickness, surface treatment and firing. Our results indicate that hunter-gatherers expected a short-term use in summer locations and therefore made a low investment in ceramics.

Published: April 2024

In this project to secure academic certificate and for accurate management and to avoid forge certificate we are converting all certificates into digital signatures and these digital signatures will be stored in Block chain server as this Block chain server support tamper proof data storage and nobody can hack or alter its data and if by a chance if its data alter then verification get failed at next block storage and user may get intimation about data alter.
In Block chain technology same transaction data stored at multiple server with hash code verification and if data alter at one server then it will be detected from other server as for same data hash code will get different. For example, in Block chain technology data will be stored at multiple servers and if malicious users alter data at one server then its hash code will get changed in one server and other servers left unchanged and this changed hash code will be detected at verification time and future malicious user changes can be prevented.
In Block chain each data will be stored by verifying old hash codes and if old hash codes remain unchanged then data will be considered as original and unchanged and then new transaction data will be appended to Block chain as new block. For each new data storage all blocks hash code will be verified.

Power and love versus death: “Death Constant Beyond Love” by Gabriel García Márquez
Authors: Tekin Kuğu
Published: April 2024

This article analyses the philosophy and literary aesthetics of Gabriel García Márquez’s political satire with reference to his short story, “Death Constant beyond Love.” The analysis is based on the author’s views concerning the common personality traits, actions and ends of tyrannical rulers made manifest in the main character of the story – Senator Onesimo Sanchez. It is observed that the philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius’ meditations on the transience of existence, and the mortality of man serve as the backdrop to the power-drunk Senator’s vain attempts to keep exercising his tyranny despite his awareness of his looming death. The story’s central theme is that misused political power – no matter how wide its scope – is limited by man’s transient corporeal existence, or by death, to put it more simply. The author’s reflections upon dishonest politicians as fictionalized in the Senator display how corruption defiles each individual in society. The discussion on the nature and ramifications of man’s boundless ambition for power also draws on Nietzsche’s will to power/will to life equation, and Foucault’s views on resistance-freedom/power proposition.
Anglicisms in the Macedonian political discourse: A serious threat or a welcome addition
Authors: Neshkovska Silvana
Published: April 2024

The widespread presence of Anglicisms in the Macedonian language is undisputable. Anglicisms are particularly conspicuous in political discourse as politicians seem to have pronounced tendency to insert English borrowings in their public statements, speeches, discussion and debates quite frequently. While politicians thus clearly attempt to reinforce the persuasiveness of the political messages they impart to the masses, the question that arises is whether the general public endorses or condemns such a linguistic strategy. The aim of this paper is to shed some light on Macedonian native speakers’ perceptions and understanding of a list of Anglicisms that have become an integral part of Macedonian political discourse. For the purposes of this research, a tailor-made questionnaire was conducted among Macedonian speakers of different ages and educational levels. The aim was twofold – to inspect the influence of age and education on the informants’ understanding of Anglicisms, and to ascertain whether they perceive Anglicisms as a serious threat to the purity of their mother tongue or as a welcome addition that enriches it and increases its expressive potential.
How do teachers perceive translanguaging? Teachers’ perceptions about translanguaging practices in the EFL classroom
Authors: Sinaga Tuntun , Putrawan Gede Eka
Published: April 2024

The study of translanguaging as pedagogy, which challenges the monolingual approach to language education policy, has become an important aspect of investigation in recent years. However, translanguaging is challenged by recent data showing that teachers have ambivalent feelings and attitudes towards translanguaging practices and the evidence on teachers’ perceptions of the pedagogical approach in EFL teaching contexts in Indonesia is currently inconclusive. Therefore, our purpose was to describe how EFL teachers perceive translanguaging as pedagogy in the EFL classroom, which was conducted through a descriptive/interpretative approach. A questionnaire was used to collect data which were analyzed through both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. The findings indicate that teachers appear to have ambivalent perceptions of translanguaging. Some hold the view that EFL should be taught monolingually, while the others accept translanguaging practices. However, those who have a negative perception of translanguaging also see that the pedagogical approach is important in their EFL classes. The limitations and implications of the study’s findings for EFL education in Indonesia are also discussed.
Optimism and humor styles in young people
Authors: PRAVIȚCHI Galina
Published: April 2024

The article addresses a particularly current and important topic in the condition that since ancient times, optimism has been correlated with the human psyche, primarily with emotions, and mood, positive emotions and humor are recognized as components of it. The research sample consisted of 70 people aged between 25-35 years. The following methods were applied in the research: Optimism level test according to K. Scheer and M. Carver (adapted by T.O. Gordeeva, Sychev and E.N. Osin) and Humor style questionnaire according to R. Martin. The obtained results highlight a link of interdependence between the variables included in the research. For female subjects, self-motivating humor shows a significant correlation with optimism, positive expectation and negative expectations. Also, aggressive humor shows a significant correlation with negative expectations and optimism. In male subjects, we highlight a positive correlation between affiliative humor and negative expectations. The conclusions highlight the role of optimism in the human experience as a positive aspect of strengthening social bonds and interpersonal relationships, thinking about the future and achieving goals, as well as a negative influence on unrealistic aspirations and hopes.
Shyness and locus of control in adolescents
Authors: CHITOROGA Lucia
Published: April 2024

The article addresses the subject of shyness and its relationship with the locus of subjective control in adolescents. The research revealed that the higher the level of shyness, the more difficult it is to internalize subjective control, the more pronounced the tendency to externalize. Adolescents with a high level of shyness more often feel feelings of inferiority, lack of confidence in their own strength, and believe that both good and less pleasant things depend on factors external to them, on other people, on various circumstances, chance, chance etc. They feel that they cannot control the events that happen in their lives, they feel influenced and embarrassed by the opinions of others about them, which blocks the courage and determination to act, to achieve their goals. The reduced level of shyness directly correlates with the tendency to internalize subjective control. Adolescents with a low level of shyness believe to a greater extent that they themselves can have control over important events in their lives, that they are less determined by chance, fate, or other people.
Understanding emotions in older preschool children with language disorders
Authors: CIOBANU Adriana , BÎCENCO Aigul
Published: April 2024

The article presents the results of a study of the ability of children of senior preschool age, in the amount of 46 subjects, with severe speech disorders to assess the emotional state. The results of the study showed a stable ability to recognize and name pronounced, strong emotional states, while there are significant difficulties in assessing the emotions of fear and shame. The description of fear by the children of the study group did not have a negative verbal connotation, rather it reflects a misunderstanding of the emotion and neutralizes its meaning. The emotion of shame, as it turned out, is incomprehensible to children at all. The subjects found it difficult to characterize the emotion, did not understand its meaning, did not realize in what situations its manifestation is possible. Determining the level of development of the semantic component of language ability in the group of preschoolers under study shows gross violations of the semantic side of speech. Thus, the development of the emotional sphere of a child with speech disorders should be closely related to the development of the semantic component of language ability.
The co-parenting experience in the dissociated space of children with separated parents
Authors: DICU Adriana
Published: April 2024

Parental divorce is often a cause for mental disorders in children, by reason of the profound dislocation of the child’s mental coordinates. Results: Co-parenting relationships contain a set of involvement behaviours and the combined efforts of the two parents in the education, planning and life trajectory of the child. Hetherington and Kelly (apud. Luca, 2016) identify three types of co-parenting: conflicting co-parenting, which involves hostile interpersonal behaviours, cooperative co-parenting, in which parents prioritize the child’s needs and parallel co-parenting is the most common type and is the easiest to adopt by parents; it is characterized by the situation in which the two parents ignore each other, do not collaborate and do not coordinate their activities with the child. Both conflicting and parallel co-parenting prescribe poor models for developing the parent-child relationship and reflect low levels of parental competence. Prolonged conflictual co-parenting causes the emergence of emotional disorders in the child with dramatic long-term effects in terms of its developing personality.

Published: April 2024

The article deals with the affectivity of a special category of children with limited intellect. Emotions are vital mechanisms that favour the body’s adaptation to life conditions and situations; it represents one of the most important existing concepts in psychology, found in the context of all psychic functions and physiological activity, and is responsible for the quality of the individual’s adaptation and the type of relationships he establishes with those around him. Preschool childhood is the basic stage of the emotional formation of a personality. At the age of 5-8 they are able to differentiate the emotions of joy, anger, sadness, fear according to schematic images of facial expression, to distinguish the emotion of joy from the emotions of a negative way, to have elementary ideas about the functional relationship between and emotions and strategies to regulate them. Children with borderline intellect have a certain specificity in the development of affectivity and, in particular, of emotions. A confirmatory study of the emotions of students with borderline intellect in primary education was carried out, by administering psychological methods, we analyzed the results and presented some conclusions.

Authors: LAPOȘINA Emilia , FRUNZE Olesea
Published: April 2024

The concept of professional burnout or the term burnout is used more with reference to social professions. Burnout syndrome is understood as a psychological defense mechanism, which most often manifests itself as a gradually increasing emotional exhaustion, loss of emotional involvement in activities, an increase in mental and physical fatigue. Meanwhile, bunrout syndrome leads to the emotional exhaustion of the specialist, continually exceeding the individual reserves of energy and resources, developing over time as a finality a professional deformation. Unlike the emotional burnout syndrome, professional deformation brings about changes in the personality itself. The peculiarity of the phenomenon is that the phenomenon of professional deformation exceeds the scope of professional activity and manifests itself in the everyday life of a specialist, when a person begins to behave in non-work situations in accordance with their professional role.

Published: April 2024

This paper will focus on the role of librarian professional deontology specifically the activity of a librarian, in the development and delivery of quality information products. University libraries create quality informational products to support the educational and research process, using successfully ICT. The institutional repositories contributes to the promotion of the results of scientific research, increasing the prestige of the educational institution in a national and international aspect, and provides access to published scientific production. At the same time, the development process of the repository in terms of technology and content requires librarians to have specific professional skills for archiving and indexing the received documents. In accordance with the Code of Ethics, the librarian implements and ensures compliance with the principle of continuous professional development, participating in training and improvement programs, professional meetings, scientific and cultural activities organized by libraries or other institutions. At the same time, the librarian’s professional deontology presupposes librarians’ self-training and their responsibility for their own training. The success of the university library activity oriented towards the needs of the users involves two conditions: access to quality information services and products, on the one hand, and well-trained and highly qualified librarians, who deepen and constantly update their specialized knowledge and skills, necessary for the exercise the functional attributions it has, on the other hand. Library professionals should earn status and reputation based on their professionalism and ethical behavior.
Gender violence. The structure of the pathological relationship
Authors: GONȚA Svetlana , ROȘCA Tatiana
Published: April 2024

The daily news, being more and more numerous, undoubtedly reveals the fact that the family is not always a "safe place", where you can find care, protection, support, comfort and emotional warmth, but, on the contrary, it could prove being a dangerous environment full of tension and violence and in some cases even becoming the scene of serious crimes. The work focuses on the violence that takes place inside the family walls and takes place outside any type of social control and public security, representing the abusive behavior of one or both partners, in an intimate couple relationship. This takes many forms, such as: mistreatment, sexual abuse, physical aggression C, threats of aggression, intimidation, control, harassment, psychological violence, neglect, deprivation of economic means. In this context, we tend to mention that violence against women is a transcultural phenomenon, present in all geographical locations (small or big cities), social strata and different ethnic groups, and it is universally spread in all cultures of developed and developing countries.

The paper deals with positive aspects of the use of literature in foreign language teaching, in order to show that it can potentially increase students’ motivation to learn a foreign language. Emphasis is often put only on the analytical process of learning, disregarding the importance of cultivating emotions and students’ engagement. As a key component of positive psychology, positive emotions such as empathy, courage, optimism, and emotional intelligence traits help recognize strengths, overcome language barriers, and have a positive language learning experience. Literature can evoke emotional responses from students that can be invaluable and a key motivation factor for their engagement in foreign language class activities. For this purpose, the paper explores some characteristics of literature that are likely to cause an increase in the most widely researched psychological variable in language learning, which is motivation.

Body image, defined as one’s self-awareness, encompasses the mental image and subjective experience of one’s personality. This research aimed to explore primary school students’ body image, considering their engagement in physical education and sports. Conducted at Primary School “17. Oc- tober” in Jagodina, the study involved 172 students from fifth to eighth grade during the first semester of the 2023/2024 school year. The questionnaire consisted of 13 items ‒ 10 statements with a rating scale from 1 to 5 (1 ‒ I do not agree, 2 ‒ I somewhat agree, 3 ‒ I slightly agree, 4 ‒ I mostly agree, and 5 ‒ I strongly agree) and two open-ended questions. The findings revealed that students had not fully developed their self-concept and often perceive themselves through physical flaws such as pimples, thin or thick legs, and big noses. The research indicated that students engaged in sports displayed greater satisfaction with their external appearance, felt more secure among peers, and expressed contentment with their bodies. Regular training correlated with improved psychological well-being, resulting in more stable reactions in conflict situations. Students embraced sports as an integral part of their free time. Notably, the study established that sports and physical education developed a healthy body image, which affected students’ self-esteem. A preference for team sports indicated successful socialization in primary school students. The decline in interest in Physical education classes among children raised concerns, prompting the Ministries of Health, Education, and Sports to start the project entitled “Every child has the right to grow up healthy” as an initial step in promoting sports.

Cornus mas (CM) is one of the four edible fruits of the Cornus genus, a rich source of biologically active compounds (BACs) such as vitamins (like vitamin C), carotenoids, iridoids, and phenolics (phenolic acids, anthocyanins, and other flavonoids). This study aimed to analyse the improvement of the stability of CM anthocyanins by microencapsulation, in order to propose a new natural food dye. Microencapsulation using a mixture of whey protein isolate (WPI) and chitosan (CH) as wall materials has been applied to protect anthocyanins against external factors (e.g., light, temperature, storage, etc.). Two experimental variants of microencapsulated powders, WPI:CH = 1:1 (CH1) and WPI:CH = 1:2 (CH2), were realised by varying the wall materials ratio. The cornelian cherry fruit concentrated extract was evaluated for its phytochemical, colourimetric, and antioxidant capacities. Due to the excellent anthocyanin encapsulation effectiveness (74.29 – 88.71%), the wall materials utilised for both powders can be considered effective choices to safeguard the anthocyanins. All tests performed on the microencapsulated powders demonstrated that both suggested experimental forms can serve as a healthy substitute for artificial food additives. The incorporation of cornelian cherry fruit extract and microencapsulated powders into a food matrix (jelly candies) allowed examination of their effectiveness. The colour analysis rigorously characterised all the colour parameters related to red nuances (due to anthocyanins content, such as cyanidin-3-glucoside) and yellow nuances (associated with carotenoids content).

Ao se pensar no processo de ensino e de aprendizagem de Matemática, este trabalho se enquadra na vertente da Educação Matemática Inclusiva e teve por objetivo apresentar duas experiências vivenciadas no Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (Pibid) e no Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica (Pibic/CNPq) da Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA), nas quais utilizaram-se recursos didáticos (Sorobã, material dourado, uno adaptado, jogo pega varetas e jogo virtual Mahjong) para desenvolver atividades Matemáticas com um estudante cego e um estudante Surdo atendidos em um Centro de Atendimento Educacional Especializado (CAEE). Os procedimentos metodológicos se deram a partir de planejamentos didáticos que eram realizados em conjunto com uma professora coordenadora, uma professora supervisora, licenciandas e licenciandos do curso de Matemática que estavam inseridas e inseridos nos programas de formação. Como principais resultados, destaca-se que essas experiências possibilitaram às professoras/pesquisadoras um novo olhar acerca da Educação Matemática Inclusiva, permitindo refletir sobre a importância da mediação, da utilização de recursos didáticos construção do conhecimento Matemático e do uso da visualidade diante do ato de ensinar matemática utilizando a Libras.
La cultura como operador en las opciones metodológicas en educación matemática
Authors: Santos Douglas Manoel Antonio De abreu pestana dos
Published: April 2024

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar un estudio de caso sobre las influencias que la cultura ejerce sobre las elecciones metodológicas de una profesora pedagoga al desarrollar su práctica en los primeros años de la escuela. Para ello, tomamos como contexto la práctica docente en los primeros años, prestando especial atención a la enseñanza de las Matemáticas en los primeros años. Para acceder a las elecciones metodológicas del docente de la asignatura de esta investigación, se utilizó como fuente de información una entrevista semiestructurada, a partir de la cual se generaron datos de análisis a través del análisis discursivo en la perspectiva francesa. Como resultado de este estudio, percibimos que hubo presencia del operador cultural en las elecciones metodológicas realizadas por la docente, principalmente asociado a la emoción y elementos de su relato. Además, la emotividad se percibía como un elemento intrínseco de la tríada emoción/calidad de la enseñanza/elección del método. El presente trabajo abrió una puerta a estudios relacionados con las opciones metodológicas de los docentes pedagógicos en los primeros años de la enseñanza fundamental, así como a la comprensión de que la cultura puede ser un operador esencial en el proceso de enseñanza.

We tried the rice plants to better harvest using the specially-processed water, and charcoal made of rice chaffs in Niigata prefecture for a few years and the results are more than twice harvest. Water must be essential to agriculture including soil and bacteria in it. Therefore, we discuss the pico-size water like an elementary particle fabricated with just higher pressure than 100MPa without any additives, so the plant can easily absorb the water leading to the chlorophyll resulting in more extensive roots. Another point is to emit more far-infrared to help the activated charcoals with the water. The result was more than twice the yield of the control. Furthermore, we report the water reduces radioactive cesium of the rice field in Fukushima, leading to stable elements like barium, lanthanum, and cerium. We discuss the basic idea of nuclear changes regardless of present theory.

Published: April 2024

Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (FDIA), formerly called Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, is a disorder characterized by the falsification of symptoms of illness and diagnostic testing by a perpetrator in another individual to satisfy a psychological need of the perpetrator. This case report describes the clinical course of a 14-month-old female who presented with a purported swallowed foreign body who was eventually found to be a victim of FDIA following multiple presentations to the emergency department and extensive diagnostic workup. This manuscript aims to shed light on the complexity and potential harm that FDIA can cause patients as well as the burden on the healthcare system and to discuss the challenges in diagnosing FDIA in pediatric patients
