Authors: Somia Bouziane , Boualem Remini
Published: December 2024

This paper addresses the subject of irrigation through the use of Foggaras in the oases of In Salah in the south of the Great Western Erg. More work missions were carried out in the oases of the Tidikelt region during the period: 2000-2022. Investigations and investigations were conducted throughout these missions. It appears that 90 Foggaras have been dug since 1234; date of commissioning of the first Foggara. In spite of a climate hostile to the life of the palm groves and gardens were developed thanks to the systems of Foggaras. Thanks to the contribution of motor pumps and drilling, the Foggaras system has been abandoned by the farmers. Today, the water flows only in two Foggaras. The aim of our work is to rehabilitate this system which plays a very important role in the environment as well as in the economic side of the country, a detailed study was carried out in this context such as the hydrochemistry of the waters of this ancestral system which enabled us to qualify the waters and to compare them with the underground waters.
A graph transformation approach of statechart diagrams to generalized stochastic petri nets
Authors: Guerrouf Fayçal , Samir Tigane
Published: December 2024

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a widely adopted standard for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting software system artifacts. It enables developers to design diagrams that effectively represent complex relationships and processes. Despite its versatility, UML lacks the formal notation necessary for rigorous analysis and verification. To address this limitation, we propose an approach for transforming Statechart diagrams (STD), a type of UMLs behavioral diagram, into generalized stochastic Petri nets (GSPN). The latter is a well-established framework for representing and analyzing concurrency, timing, synchronization, precedence, and priority in processes. Using the meta-modelling tool AToM3, we create meta-models for both STDs and GSPNs. Additionally, a graph grammar is developed to facilitate automatic transformation. This approach enables the creation of a tool for modeling and verifying Statechart diagrams. The proposed method is validated through a case study.
Bearing fault diagnosis using combined complete empirical mode decomposition and TKEO methods
Authors: Kabla Aida , Asradj Zahir
Published: December 2024

This paper proposes a new method for bearing fault detection in induction motors by combining Complementary Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (CEEMD) and the Teager-Kaiser Energy Operator (TKEO). The proposed method addresses the challenges of analyzing non-stationary and non-linear signals in motor current signature analysis. CEEMD is employed to decompose the stator current signals into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), effectively reducing mode mixing issues common in traditional EMD. The TKEO is then applied to extract amplitude and frequency modulations with high temporal resolution, enabling precise identification of fault-specific frequencies. Experimental validation was conducted on a test bench for various bearing fault conditions: inner race, outer race, and ball defects. Results demonstrate that the combination of CEEMD-TKEO successfully detects characteristic fault frequencies with improved accuracy compared to conventional methods. The method identified specific frequency components and their sidebands, correlating with theoretical calculations. Furthermore, correlation coefficient analysis between original signals and their IMFs provided effective mode selection for fault diagnosis. The proposed approach shows promising results for industrial applications, offering both computational efficiency and reliable fault detection capabilities.

Authors: Huang Yufeng , Guo Baoxun , Huang Yan
Published: December 2024

In this paper, based on linear programming and Monte Carlo simulation, the optimal cropping scheme for crops from 2024 to 2030 in a rural village is studied and modeled. First, considering the characteristics of different cultivated land types and the growth habit of different crops, all cultivated land is divided into six categories, and a single-objective linear programming model is established to maximize the net return. Then, considering the fluctuations brought by market, climate and other factors on the expected sales volume, mu yield, planting cost and sales price, a dynamic planning model based on Monte Carlo simulation was established, while dynamic constraints were added to analyze the optimal planting scheme of crops in this countryside. Finally, the relationship between crops is introduced, and the substitutability and complementarity between crops, the correlation between the expected sales volume and sales price, and the planting cost need to be considered, and a dynamic planning model based on Monte Carlo simulation and multi-factor variables is established to optimize the allocation of limited arable land resources in the countryside and rationally plan the planting of crops.
Hanefî Fetvâ Usûlünün Oluşumu ve Ebü'l-Leys es-Semerkandî’nin Tedvine Sağladığı Katkı Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: Büyükmutu Mehmet
Published: December 2024

Hanefî fetvâ usûlünün erken dönemlerine dair bilgiler, sonradan telif edilen eserler aracılığıyla günümüze ulaşmaktadır. Erken dönemlere dair ilk bilgiler Ebü'l-Leys es-Semerkandî tarafından Kitâbü'n-Nevâzil ile Uyûnü'l-mesâil isimli eserlerde bir araya getirilmiştir, ancak Hanefî fetvâ usûlünün Semerkandî ile teşekkül ettiğini söylememiz mümkün gözükmemektedir. Nitekim Semerkandî’nin görüşlerine yer verdiği isimler ağırlıklı olarak 3./9. yüzyılda yaşamış fakihlerdir ve o döneme kadar fetvâ usûlüne dair birçok kâidenin oluştuğu görülmektedir. Bu durum, sosyal bilimlerin birçok alanında ve Hanefî mezhebi özelinde mezhebin teşekkül sürecinin tedvininden önce olmasının doğal bir sonucu olduğu örneğindeki gibi fetvâ usûlünde de kendini göstermektedir. Semerkandî’nin Hanefî literatürüne katkısı sadece nevâzil türünde günümüze ulaşan ilk eserin ona ait olması değil, bilakis erken dönem fetvâ usûlü kâidelerini ve gelişmelerini kayıt altına alma konusunda ortaya koyduğu fıkhî mesâidir. Nitekim teşekkül, terakki ve tekâmül aşamaları dikkate alındığında İbn Âbidîn’in yaklaşımlarıyla tekâmülünü tamamlayan fetvâ usûlü kâidelerinin ilk dönemlerde birçok hususunun teşekkül etmiş olduğunu göstermesi açısından Semerkandî’nin literatüre yaptığı bu katkı oldukça önemlidir. Bu bağlamda Semerkandî’nin fetvâ usûlüne dair 2./8. ve 3./9. yüzyıllardaki gelişmeleri bir araya getirmesi ve kendi dönemindeki ilerlemeleri ortaya koymasıyla fetvâ usûlünün tedvin sürecini başlatmış olduğu ve bu sürecin önemli bir dönüm noktasını ifade ettiği görülmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmamızda Hanefi mezhebinin fetva usûlü, tarihi süreç içerisindeki gelişimi, tedvin aşamasında Semerkandi’nin fetva usulüne etkisi ve katkısının boyutları incelenmeye çalışılmaktadır. Araştırma yöntemi olarak ise Kitâbü'n-Nevâzil ile Uyûnü'l-mesâil’deki fetvâ usûlü ile ilgili kâideler incelenmekte, bu kâideler açıklamaları ve varsa örnekleriyle birlikte belirli bir sistematik çerçevesinde gruplandırılmaktadır.
Deportation of Slovenes to Serbia During the Second World War
Authors: Nikolova Maja
Published: December 2024

Did this have to happen?
To make Lower Styria, Carinthia, and Carniola German again, Hitler organized the deportation of racially unclean and politically suspicious elements in May 1941. The goal was to emigrate the entire Slovenian intelligentsia, as well as those who had signs of someone else's blood. About 6,500 Slovenes and maybe more, were deported by train in three groups to Serbia. Refugee centres have been set up in almost every city or town. The Serbian population received them nicely, but the lack of food, beds and material resources for their basic existence made their stay difficult. Although there were many educated people among the deportees, they could not find employment and during the employment, they had to submit a confirmation that no one in the family was Jewish or Roma. The children of the deported Slovenes continued their education in Serbian schools, but during the classes, they had organized Slovene language classes. The difficult years of the war were spent in uncertainty, poverty and a constant desire to return to their homeland. After the end of the Second World War, many Slovenes returned home. That was the end of their forced deportation.

Interrogative utterances in media speech
Authors:   St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Dzhonova Marina
Published: December 2024

This study treats the formal types of interrogative utterances in media speech. Conclusions are based on data from the Corpus of Spoken Bulgarian BgSpeech as well as on media interview recordings from 2023. The data show that journalists use interrogative sentences with wh-word or with question particle in their speech, and none of these formal types prevails. It is much more frequent that both formal types are used within one and the same utterance. Interrogative utterances without a question word were also found, and they are marked as interrogative only by the intonation. Interrogative utterances are predominantly direct speech acts. Only unconventional indirect speech acts with particle li are characteristic for the communicative situation in media interview.
Deviations in the spelling of attributive combinations of words having as their first component a word of foreign origin in the informal Internet communication
Authors:   St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, Topalova Elitsa
Published: December 2024

The paper is devoted to the attributive combinations of two nouns in which the first component is a word of foreign origin that gives some extra information about the second component of the combination. The instances of usage are observed in informal Internet communication viewed as written form of spoken language. The emphasis is placed on the different spelling variants of these combinations that are observed in the examined examples, excerpted mainly from social media. The difference in spelling is presented as a result of an existing argument about the current linguistic essence of these combinations – whether they are a lexical unit (lexeme) or a syntactic structure.

PRACTICAL INVESTMENT CHOICE WITHOUT MEAN-VARIANCE
Authors: Stephen SATCHELL  , Jarrod WILCOX
Published: December 2024

This paper reviews our previous published work and stresses its relevance for practitioners. We argue that modelling investment choice via utility functions is a very useful exercise but the standard approach for doing this, namely mean variance analysis, has a number of weaknesses. We offer an alternative, the generalized logarithmic utility function advocated by Rubinstein. This specification is much better suited to wealth management and to retail investment and issues of complexity and computation can be easily resolved. We discuss applications that reveal better results than the standard approach.JEL Classification: G00, G10, G11.

Impact of Opencast Mining on Agricultural Productivity and Environmental Sustainability: A Case Study of the Singareni Collieries in Telangana
Authors: Sathish P.
Published: December 2024

The rapid industrialization and economic expansion in India have increased reliance on natural resource
extraction, particularly through opencast mining. While efficient and cost-effective, this mining method has
significant environmental and socio-economic repercussions. This study focuses on the Singareni Collieries
Company Limited (SCCL) in Telangana to examine its impact on agricultural productivity in surrounding
regions. Agriculture, a cornerstone of rural livelihoods, faces severe challenges from mining activities, including
land degradation, water contamination, air pollution, and biodiversity loss. Using a mixed-methods approach, the
research combines primary data from surveys and interviews with secondary data from official records and
reports. The analysis reveals substantial declines in crop yields, heightened susceptibility of crops to pests and
diseases, and deteriorating agricultural produce quality due to mining-induced environmental degradation. Factor
analysis identifies two critical dimensions: "Agricultural Productivity and Biodiversity Loss" and "Environmental
Degradation and Adaptive Practices," highlighting the interconnectedness of environmental changes and farming
challenges. Key findings show that over 70% of respondents acknowledged significant reductions in crop yields,
with biodiversity loss and dust pollution emerging as critical factors. ANOVA results confirm a significant impact
of opencast mining on biodiversity and environmental conditions, necessitating adaptive practices among farmers.
The study underscores the urgent need for sustainable mining practices and effective mitigation strategies to
balance economic benefits with the preservation of agricultural livelihoods and environmental health.

Generative AI for Healthcare: Applications, Challenges, and Ethical Considerations
Authors: Journal IJSREM
Published: December 2024

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the healthcare sector, offering novel approaches to
medical imaging, drug discovery, personalized medicine, and data privacy through the generation of synthetic
datasets. This paper explores the applications, challenges, and ethical considerations surrounding the use of
generative AI in healthcare. Key applications of this technology include enhancing diagnostic capabilities by
generating high-quality medical images, accelerating the drug discovery process by simulating chemical
compounds, and tailoring treatment plans through personalized medicine. Generative AI's ability to create synthetic
patient data also provides a promising solution for safeguarding patient privacy while advancing medical research.

However, the integration of generative AI into healthcare is met with several challenges. These include data quality
issues, which can compromise the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated outputs, and the black-box nature of
many AI models, making it difficult for healthcare professionals to fully understand or trust the systems. Moreover,
the technical limitations, such as high computational costs and the difficulty of integrating AI with existing
healthcare infrastructure, pose additional barriers to widespread adoption.

The ethical considerations of generative AI in healthcare are equally significant. Concerns over patient privacy and
data security remain central, particularly when synthetic data is generated and used for research purposes.
Furthermore, the potential for algorithmic bias to influence healthcare outcomes raises questions about fairness and
equity in AI-driven decisions. Establishing clear lines of accountability and ensuring that AI systems comply with
existing regulatory frameworks are essential for building trust and safeguarding patient well-being.

Looking forward, the paper highlights the importance of developing explainable AI systems that offer greater
transparency and integration with human decision-making processes. Future advancements in personalized
medicine and drug discovery will rely on cross-disciplinary collaboration between AI researchers, healthcare
professionals, and policymakers. Ultimately, the paper emphasizes that while generative AI holds tremendous
potential for revolutionizing healthcare, its success will depend on addressing both the technical and ethical
challenges it presents.

Generative pre-trained transformer based on image content and user personality for caption creation in social media
Authors: Ariansyah Ikhsan , Hidayati Shintami Chusnul
Published: December 2024

Social media is a platform for sharing information and interactions between users, often involving images with captions that reflect the user's personality. Each user creates distinct captions based on personal traits, making a personalized caption generator beneficial. Currently, existing social media caption generators have limitations, such as requiring payment for full features, lack of support for Bahasa (Indonesian Language), dependency on user input to generate captions, and suboptimal object detection accuracy. To address these issues, a new method is proposed for generating social media captions based on image content and user personality to simplify the caption creation process. This caption generator will be optimized in Bahasa. The content of the image will be explored through image objects and scenery. Image objects are identified using a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) for personality classification. At the same time, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approach will be employed to detect objects within images, and VGG16 will be used to detect scenery. Then, these three models are combined with a GPT to generate new captions. The model will be trained on public datasets, and subjective evaluation will be used for testing. The outcome of this research is expected to produce relevant captions based on the user's personality, making the captioning process more efficient and relevant to the personality.

This study investigates the strategies of request speech act used by Palestinian EFL learners at the school level and the effect of the gender variable on strategy use. Moreover, strategies used to mitigate requests were investigated. Data was collected for this study through completion of Discourse Completion Tasks (DCT). A DCT was designed, consisting of (8) situations, with different social status levels between the participants. The DCT was completed by a sample of (69) EFL learners at the American School in Beit Jala. The researchers adopted Blum-Kulka’s (1989) method in coding and analyzing the data. The findings revealed that some strategies were employed more often than the other strategies. Furthermore, the learners used few strategies to mitigate requests. The findings revealed gaps in learners’ pragmatic competence that call for remediation through designing extra materials that expose the learners to the different strategies that realize speech acts. Finally the findings showed that there is no statistically significant difference in the employment of the strategies due to gender. Further research should be conducted on other English speech acts besides requests, taking into account the effect of social variables, such as social power and distance, on strategy use.
Effects of Sulfuric and Citric Acid for Slurry Acidification on Winter Wheat Yield, N- and S-Balance

Slurry can be acidified to reduce ammonia emissions during slurry application. As considerable quantities of sulfuric acid are required, a lot of S is applied to the soil. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the additional S supply from sulfuric acid has a positive effect on plant growth by comparing sulfuric acid with citric acid. Furthermore, the fate of the S supplied in excess to the plant requirement was investigated.

A field experiment was set up with slurry acidified with sulfuric and citric acid. Yield, N and S concentrations of plant and soil samples on three dates during the growing season were measured. At harvest, grain yield was determined, and the harvested crop was analyzed for N and S concentration. After harvest, soil samples were taken on two further dates and soil mineral N (Nmin) and S (Smin) concentrations were measured.

At harvest grain yield and N and S uptake by the grain were the same for the sulfuric and citric acid treatments, but the sulfuric acid treatment had significantly higher Smin levels on all dates. After harvest, Smin was then leached via the 30-60 cm layer into the 60-90 cm layer.

The very high S supply from the sulfuric acid used to acidify the slurry did not affect the yield nor the N and S uptake of the wheat. S that enters the soil in excess of the plant requirements is transferred with the leachate to deeper soil layers.

Okra cultivation is plagued by pests that affect productivity. Consequently, the use of chemical pesticides causes problems. The present study was conducted to assess the impact of plant extracts of Azadirachta indica, Hyptis suaveolens and Solanum lycopersicum on the abundance of insect pests of the Hiré and Clemson okra varieties. To do this, a factorial block design was set up and foliar applications of these extracts were made, after which the insects were quantified. The extracts significantly reduced the abundance of Podagrica decolorata (p = 0.0009), Amrasca biguttula (p = 0.01), Zonocerus variegatus (p = 0.02) and Jacobiasca lybica (p = 0.009). Chemical treatment was effective on Podagrica decolorata with an average abundance of 40±10.2, followed by hydroetanolic treatment of Hyptis suaveolens (43.3±15.4). On Amrasca biguttula, the hydro-anolic extract of the Azadirachta indica + Solanum lycopersicum combination was effective with an average abundance of 39.7±3.2. On Jacobiasca lybica, the chemical treatment was more effective (18±6.2), followed by the hydroethanolic treatments of Azadirachta indica (27±2.1) and Hyptis suaveolens (29±6.2). The aqueous extract of Hyptis suaveolens considerably reduced the abundance of Zonocerus variegatus (3.7±4.6) after the chemical treatment (3.5±5.7). However, no significant difference was observed between these extracts and the chemical control (p > 0.05). Yields showed a higher average number of fruits (131.83±45.6) in the chemically treated plot, followed by the plot treated with the hydroethanol extract of Hyptis suaveolens and Solanum lycopersicum (128.83±15.2).
The Roles of Dietary Organic Trace Minerals on Animal Antioxidative Status, Gut Health, and Environmental Sustainability: A Review

The livestock industry is currently focused on improving production through sustainable nutrition practices. This has spurred scientists to investigate the potential of functional nutrients in providing health benefits beyond their nutritional value. The use of inorganic trace minerals (ITMs) has registered some successes but with some drawbacks arising from their low absorption rate, causing the excretion of copious amounts of trace minerals in manure, which pollutes the environment and becomes detrimental to soil physiology and crop health. Organic trace minerals (OTMs) are relatively more effective due to their stability and lower reactivity, although their functionality and pH depend on production processes. Here, we underscore the effects of OTM supplementation in animal diets to enhance the host’s antioxidant capacity and gut health and promote environmental sustainability, as presented in the graphical abstract. Through adequate dietary OTM supplementation, animals can develop powerful resistance against the negative effects of physiological stressors or diseases by reinforcing the host’s systemic antioxidant defenses and alleviating compromises on the gut’s structure and functions, the gut being the primary site of nutrient digestion and absorption. The high cost of OTMs and the inconsistent outcomes of some across different animal species present significant limitations. Therefore, further research is needed to determine species-specific OTM requirements to optimize health and performance without over-supplementation. Also, researchers should further investigate the impact of OTMs, alone or in combination with other functional nutrients on animals’ immunological responses during oxidative or pathological conditions.
