VICTIMS STATUS IN INDIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM WITH EVOLUTION
Authors: Kaur Manjinder , Arti
Published: January 2025

The first stage in the victim's journey to justice via the criminal justice system is reporting a crime. However, quite often, victims opt not to report the incident. As a result, the perpetrator escapes punishment and they never interact with the criminal justice system. The goal of justice is thereby undermined. In the criminal justice system, victims are crucial. They must thus take an active role in the criminal justice system. The role of victims in the criminal justice system has significantly increased with the advent of restorative justice. However, these rights may encounter resistance in their use as victim involvement in sentencing choices challenges customs and established patterns within criminal courts. On the other hand, when legal cultures shift and the victim is widely recognized as a legitimate participant in criminal proceedings, victim involvement may become a common practice and a means of incorporating elements of restorative justice into adversarial court systems.This study aims to investigate the victim's function within the criminal justice system and how it helps victims obtain justice. With an emphasis on the Indian criminal justice system, the historical evolution of the position of crime victims in common-law criminal justice systems has been explained. The study article explains the significant participation rights that victims are granted under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC). The researcher investigates the apparent discrepancy between the victim's rights and their actualization. The researcher stresses the need for victim-sensitive behavior from the criminal justice system. New and creative methods for including victims into procedures have been studied. The implications of criminal justice policy on crime victims are covered in the study paper's conclusion.“For too long, the victims of crime have been the forgotten persons of our criminal justice system. Rarely do we give victims the help they need or the attention they deserve. Yet the protection of our citizens – to guard them from becoming victims – is the primary purpose of our penal laws. Thus, each new victim personally represents an instance in which our system has failed to prevent crime. Lack of concern for victims compounds that failure. ”

Syntactic conception of L. Yu. Maksimov
Authors: Kustova G. I.
Published: January 2025

The paper is devoted to the scientific heritage of Leonard Yuryevich Maksimov, Doctor of Philology, professor, who for many years headed the Russian language department of the Moscow State Pedagogical Institute (MPSU). The paper analyzes the syntactic theory of L. Yu. Maksimov and the historical context of its formation: scientific ideas about the complex sentence of the 60–70s. XX century, views of predecessors and contemporaries (A. A. Shakhmatov, N. S. Pospelov, V. A. Beloshapkova, etc.). The ideas of L. Yu. Maksimov in key areas of the theory of complex sentences are considered: types of wh-clause (rus. substantive-attributive clause) and complement clause, types of pronominal clauses, structural types of correlates. Sentences such as There was such a snowstorm that he couldn’t see anything qualified as attributive in the 1950s; L. Yu. Maksimov showed that they should be classified as pronominal-conjunctive. L. Yu. Maksimov studied hybrid constructions that are transitional from attributive clauses with relative pronouns where and when to subordinate clauses of place and time. L. Yu. Maksimov distinguished between pronominal-correlative and pronominal-conjunctive clauses. The scientific achievements of L. Yu. Maksimov are relevant for modern syntactic theory.
Specific features of teaching digital reading to school students in the context of culture-oriented linguistic methodology
Authors: Vasilyeva N. V.
Published: January 2025

Teaching reading to schoolchildren as a speech activity type has traditionally been one of the most important goals of education. In the 21st century, the need to develop school students’ ability to read digitally has increased. This is due to several differences between digital and traditional reading. Another reason is the increased importance of electronic text and hypertext as one of the main information sources. This study aims to identify the distinctive features of teaching digital reading to schoolchildren in the context of culture-oriented linguistic methodology. Using analysis, comparison, and generalisation of research results, it was established that mastering strategies for working with traditional texts should precede learning to read electronic hypertext. It is important to develop students’ ability to select and implement various digital reading strategies depending on the reading purpose. School students’ ability to distinguish reliable and relevant information from false and irrelevant, to reason, and draw conclusions is significant to effectively work with electronic hypertext. The paper suggests that teaching digital reading to schoolchildren in the context of culture forms students’ worldview attitudes and value-based orientations which ensure awareness that their ability to effectively work with electronic hypertext is significant. Moreover, digital reading instruction facilitates speech knowledge and skill formation. The article proposes specific techniques and forms of organising digital reading instruction of school students. In addition, it provides examples of assignments that can be used to develop the skills of searching, analysing information in hypotexts and hypertext, establishing cause-and-effect relationships, building logical chains, formulating conclusions, interpreting what has been read, and systematising information.

Global behavior and traveling waves of a Monkeypox epidemic model with vaccination impact
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Exact Sciences and Informatics, Hassiba Benbouali University, Chlef 02000, Algeria., Darazirar Rassim
Published: January 2025

This study looks at the worldwide behavior of a monkeypox epidemic model that includes the impact of vaccination. A mathematical model is created to analyse the vaccine impact, assuming that immunisation is administered to the susceptible population. The system’s dynamics are determined by the fundamental reproduction number, R0. When R0 < 1, the illness is expected to be eradicated, as evidenced by the disease-free equilibrium’s global asymptotic stability. When R0 > 1, the illness continues and creates a globally stable endemic equilibrium. Furthermore, we investigate the existence of traveling wave solutions, demonstrating that (i) a minimal wave speed, designated as c* > 0, exists when R0 > 1; (ii) when R0 ≤ 1, no nontrivial traveling wave solution exists. Additionally, for wave speeds c < c*, no nontrivial traveling wave solution is found, whereas when c ≥ c*, the system admits a nontrivial traveling wave solution with speed c. Numerical simulations are performed to further validate these theoretical results, confirming both the stability of the equilibrium points and the traveling wave solutions.

Authors: Jinyoung Hwang
Published: January 2025

This research investigates the philosophical contributions of existentialism to understanding and addressing the global climate crisis. Drawing on the foundational ideas of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre, and de Beauvoir, the study explores how existential themes - freedom, responsibility, and authenticity - offer tools for grappling with the ethical and existential dilemmas posed by ecological destruction. Existentialism’s emphasis on human agency is juxtaposed against the collective nature of environmental responsibility, revealing tensions between individual actions and systemic change. Central existential concepts, including the absurd and alienation, are analyzed to uncover their relevance in fostering ethical resilience and guiding action amidst the uncertainties of the Anthropocene. The study argues that existentialism challenges humanity to confront the climate crisis authentically, rejecting nihilism and embracing responsibility for the self and future generations. Through the lens of existential thought, the research underscores the imperative of aligning personal values with environmental ethics while advocating for systemic transformations that address the climate emergency. Existentialism’s focus on the individual’s ability to create meaning through deliberate choices provides a philosophical foundation for engaging with the moral complexities of climate justice and sustainability. The research concludes that existentialist philosophy not only critiques humanity’s historical failures but also offers a hopeful framework for constructing a meaningful response to the climate crisis. It calls for embracing the freedom to act in ways that promote sustainability and intergenerational justice, transforming despair into purposeful action amid an indifferent universe.

The potential roles of some biomarkes of oxidative stress in disease progression and management is very crucial. Aim: The present study therefore, evaluated the serum levels of 8-hydroxy-2’ deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and F-2 isoprostanes in newly diagnosed hypertensive individuals with and without depression at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi. Method: This was a cross sectional study carried out on randomly selected 121 consented adult male and female participants within the ages of 18-65 years which comprises 30 newly diagnosed hypertensive individuals without depression (Hypertensive), 31 hypertensive individuals with depression selected from the department of internal medicine. 30 non hypertensive with depression (Depressive) and 30 apparently healthy non-hypertensive individuals without depression which served as control selected among the hospital staff. Their bio-data was obtained from their hospital records. 3 ml of venous blood were collected from each of the participants, dispensed into a plain container, centrifuged and serum separated into another container and stored at -20 0C for the assessment of serum 8-OHdG using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Method. Result: The result showed that Hypertensive individuals with and without clinical depression (107.08±22.05, 129.16±82.49) had significantly higher serum level of 8-OHdG when compared with control group (53.95±28.25) (P<0.05 respectively). Hypertensive individuals (129.16±82.49) also had significantly higher 8-OHdG level when compared with non-hypertensive with depression (63.31±37.30) (P<0.05). Hypertensive individuals with depression (9.94±7.14) and depressive individuals (8.99±5.84) also had significantly higher F2-Isoprostanes level when compared with control (5.15±1.47) (P<0.05 respectively). There was a moderately strong positive correlation between 8-OHdG level and body mass index in both hypertensive and depressive individuals (r=0.682, P<0.05). Conclusion: The study observed higher 8-OHdG and F2-Isoprostanes in individuals with hypertension with and without clinical depression. In addition, there is evidence that oxidative stress is related to inflammation and endothelial activation in individuals with both conditions leading to disease severity.

Authors: Nandu Bala Sharma  , Yogesh Kumar Gupta
Published: January 2025

The coordinating atoms of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus in Schiff bases with different coordination numbers create complexes with organotin(IV) moiety. The structure was usefully revealed by the development of novel spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR, multinuclear (1H, 13C, 119Sn) NMR, and X-ray crystallography. A lot of research has been done recently on organotin(IV) complexes of Schiff base because of their antibacterial, antinematicidal, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antiurease properties. In order to understand the synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, biological significance, and hazardous behavior of tin(IV) complexes of Schiff bases described in recent years, this article presents the literature on organotin(IV) complexes synthesis.

Published: January 2025

This comprehensive review compares novel vaccine therapies to conventional treatments for diabetes management, examining efficacy, safety, cost-effectiveness, and patient compliance. Conventional treatments (insulin, oral medications, lifestyle modifications) have limitations, such as hypoglycemic and decreased adherence. Vaccine therapies (T-cell targeted, peptide-based, DNA vaccines) demonstrate potential benefits, including improved glycemic control, reduced hypoglycemia, and enhanced patient compliance. Comparative analysis reveals vaccine therapies exhibit comparable or superior efficacy to conventional treatments, with reduced adverse effects and improved quality of life. Cost-effectiveness analysis suggests long-term economic benefits. Patient compliance and satisfaction are higher with vaccine therapies. Future directions include personalized medicine, combination therapies, and potential prevention and reversal of diabetes. Emerging trends focus on novel antigens, adjuvants, and delivery systems.
