Authors: - Kowsalyaa M S , - Arul J
Published: March 2024

This research paper focuses on the current ecological crises that are represented in the dystopian fiction and also presents a caution to the future society to preserve the natural ecosystem for the harmonious living. Many ecological resources are becoming scarce and it is vital to take it into consideration for the welfare of the world and all the living creatures that depend upon them, for their survival. Dystopian literature intends to depict some of the probing existing environmental issues in its narrative which in turn creates awareness among the people to take necessary actions or that might lead into a unimaginable apocalyptic future as portrayed in the fictions of Dystopia. The ecological issues of Climate change, global warming, pollution, over use of technology , deforestation, Loss of biodiversity, extinction of species, depletion of Natural resources, food and water Scarcity and many issues are been faced by the current world. Dystopian fiction not only warns the people about the existing ecological issues but also about the eminent danger of the over use of technologies like bioengineering, nanotechnology which could be a potential threat to the society and its harmonious living. Along with the anthropocentric attitudes, the natural resources and the environment deteriorates in a rapid phase with alarms the human community to protect the natural treasures and dystopian literature serves as a representation of these ecological crises. It also cautions the readers about the impending dangers in the society.

Published: March 2024

Any economy's lifeblood is seen as being money. Transactions are now simple in the current environment because to the constant advancement of technology, the internet, and mobile phones. Money transfers and other payment methods are offered on the market. The primary component of digitization is mobile wallets. As opposed to using cash, people prefer to make digital payments. People now prefer cashless transactions more than they did in the past due to demonetization and the unanticipated COVID outbreak. Because money notes are handled by many different people, the transmission of pathogens is also possible. Mobile wallets have greatly simplified and improved our way of living. A digital wallet safely and conveniently maintains all of the users' payment information. There is far less need to carry actual wallets as a result. Only the mobile wallet allows a smart phone to be used as a wallet. These wallets allow for the secure addition of money as well as direct bank account integration. India is moving towards a digital future. Digital wallets are a key component of the digitization process. Within this little time frame. Based on diverse observations, several academics from across the world have investigated digital wallets. However, there is no evidence that anyone has looked into how prevalent digital wallets are among young people.
Therefore, the goal of the study is to determine how common digital wallets are among young people. In this study, the gender disparity in usage, transaction volume, usage experience, and transaction count in digital wallets is being examined.

Published: March 2024

Based on experimental and theoretical studies in plane-radial and plane-parallel microcracks, a previously unknown pattern called “microcrack-liquid” effect was established for the first time, that when viscous liquids move in a microcrack at hhcr these effects disappear.
It was revealed that the reason for the manifestation of anomalous properties of Newtonian liquids and the enhancement of the rheological properties of non-Newtonian systems when they move in microcapillary cracks is the new microcrack effect of the “microcrack-liquid” system.
The established critical values of crack opening for the studied viscous oils are 160 μm at a temperature of 303 K.
Keywords: microcrack opening, non-Newtonian fluids, ultimate shear stress, structural viscosity, microcrack-liquid effect.

Published: March 2024

Language is a crucial component of communication and serves as the foundation for interactions. In linguistics, there is a branch called pragmatics that studies speech acts. Pragmatics provides a framework for analyzing the relationship between language and context. Related to pragmatics, this research explores the classifications of speech acts in the film "Good Will Hunting (1997)”. This research aims to analyze the type of speech acts, as proposed by Searle (1976), that can be found in conversations between the characters Will Hunting and Sean Maguire. The film offers a narrative canvas to investigate representatives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declaratives. A descriptive qualitative method was employed in this research. The data was collected by employing attentive listening and note-taking methods and analyzed using descriptive and interpretative techniques. The findings of this research reveal a total of 61 speech acts, with representatives being the most dominant type with a total of 43 speeches, followed by directives totaling 8 speeches, 6 expressives, and both commissives and declaratives totaling 2 speeches each. The implications of these findings extend to a nuanced understanding of interpersonal communication in cinematic contexts. Keywords : pragmatics, speech acts, illocutionary acts

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) planting is one of the economic pillars of countries rich in biodiversity in tropical regions. However, pest and disease are the most serious limitation of oil palm production. Bagworm, Metisa plana (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) is considered the most destructive pest in the oil palm plantation in Malaysia, which could cause high yield losses up to 43% over two years after a serious infestation and become a primary concern among stakeholders. Conventional excessive use of pesticides causes serious environmental pollutions and damage to non-target organisms. Thus, biological control can be reduced the pest populations safely and efficiently by beneficial insects such as parasitoids. This study aims to (i) evaluate the bagworm infestation in an oil palm plantation, Perak, Malaysia; (ii) determine the impact and damage of the bagworm stages on the oil palm plantation, and (iii) evaluate the parasitoid in such areas. A total of 57 palm trees have been systematically selected. Bagworm and parasitoid samples were collected in two stages at Felda Gunung Besout 2, Perak, Malaysia. Bagworm infestation severity was performed based on the severity scale of bagworm damage symptoms. The results showed that the incidence rates of oil palm trees are concerned 50.9%, 31.6%, 4%, 3.5% were low, moderate, high, and no incidence, respectively. Bagworm stages 1, 5, 6, and 7 are significantly impacted on the oil palm incidences and stage seven is the most impacted one; followed by stages 1, 6 and 5. Several parasitoids have been found; the highest one is Eulophidae: Tetrastichus s planipennisi.

Authors: Tarmizi Rawdah Adawiyah , Sulaiman Hajar
Published: March 2024

Let G be a finite group. If there is a set containing n proper subgroups in G whose union comprises all elements of G, then G is a coverable group. The set of n proper subgroups is called an n-covering for G and the minimum number of n covers G is 3, so this means. If the n-covering has no proper subset that also covers G then it is called an irredundant n-covering for G and it is called a maximal n-covering if it consists of only maximal subgroups. A maximal irredundant n-covering with a core-free intersection is known as a Cn-covering. This study characterizes 5-groups having a C11-covering. It was found that a 5-group has a C11-covering if and only if it is isomorphic to some elementary abelian groups of a certain order.

Published: March 2024

This study examines the impact of housing size difference, life-course events, and residential satisfaction on the intention to move. It addresses endogeneity concerns by jointly estimating tenure choice and intention to move. Homeowners show a positive link between desired-to-actual housing size ratio (RSD) and the intention to move, reflecting a ratchet effect. Renters, influenced by factors like household characteristics, display insignificant coefficients for RSD and RSD2, facing challenges adjusting size due to budget constraints. Life-cycle variables, like age and household size, significantly impact residential mobility, with elderly homeowners less likely to move. Marital status and being single influence both groups' intention to move. Housing type matters, as living in apartments decreases mobility for both groups, while studio renters express a higher intention to move for better housing. Ground-level houses are less likely to prompt relocation, while older houses are associated with increased mobility intention. The study uses a joint probability model, revealing a significant negative impact on homeowners, indicating a lower likelihood of moving intention. In contrast, renters show a positive effect, suggesting a higher probability of intending to move compared to randomly chosen residents with similar characteristics.

Published: March 2024

State relations accelerate the close cooperation and promotion when national interests coincide. The signing of the North Korea-Russia alliance treaty and Kim's first and second visits to Russia served as a driving force when domestic and foreign policy changes interact with national interests. If the China-Soviet conflict and the strengthening of the South Korea-U.S.-Japan alliance led to the 1961 North Korea-Soviet Alliance Treaty, changes in the environment of the international order, including the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the ROK’s northern policy and Putin's equidistant foreign policy, led to the signing of the 2002 North Korea-Russia Friendship Treaty. A comparative analysis of Kim's first and second visits to Russia enabled the derivation of facilitating factors that accelerated the close relationship between North Korea and Russia and challenging factors. This shows that under the international order dominated by power, close contact is accelerated when national interests, such as domestic and foreign environmental factors of North Korea and Russia, namely, domestic political system (leadership), diversification of economy and diplomacy, and securing resources. It is time for strategic thinking that can bring maximum effect with minimal effort through stable situation management of the impact of the US-China-Russia mutual state relations variable. Amid expectations of changes in domestic and foreign exchange environments, it is necessary to closely analyze the impact of North Korea-Russia relations on security in Northeast Asia and devise countermeasures while strengthening the South Korea-U.S.-Japan alliance.

As the origin theory of Dicash, I place it in the theory of the yin and yang of the East. Therefore, while the philosophical ideas expressed in Dicash are based on the idea of Cheonji, the idea of Cheonji was verified by limiting it to the collection of Dicapoem published within three years. “Dicapoem a combination of the digital camera Digital pixel, picture element and Poem, is an independent genre of competitive fusion art that overtakes Photo Poem and walks the cutting edge of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It has been listed as a new literary term in the Korean language spring of the National Institute of the Korean Language.” In the digital age, poetry is accepted in various ways from writing art to video language, but it can be said that decasi is unique and representative in writing poetry using digital cameras as a tool. Photographic poetry has a history of about 200 years. Dicapoem an independent genre of convergent art, has a history of over 20 years. The founder of decasi was Professor Lee Sang-ok. In addition, since the publication of the first digital poetry collection Lee Sang-ok's 『Goseonggado (Hall of Literature, 2004』 in 2004, discussions on decasi have spread not only in Korea, but also in Asia and around the world. Conventional photographic poetry is an analog method that combines photography and poetry. On the other hand, decasi is a digital method that combines digital cameras and poetry. The text was a collection of digital poems by three people, Lee Gyeong-soon, Son Gye-guk, and Kim Sun-mi. Each of their decasi collections was made in connection with the Cheon In-ji ideology. I described with an emphasis on the scalability of Dicapoem. As digital literature, Dicapoem can be said to be a gift of God born by the digital revolution, and it can be confirmed that Dicapoem expresses the metaphor of 'the sky', 'people' and 'the land'.

Fundamental Research for Sports Record Education: Focus on Copyright of Sports Records
Authors:   Korean Society for Leisure Scie, Cheon Bo-Geun , Lim Jae-Goo
Published: March 2024

Educating about sports records in school physical education should encompass not only numbers, letters, shapes, and portraits but also the unique, creative, and diverse efforts involved in producing those records. Copyright should be an integral part of this education. This is because emphasizing the process rather than the outcome in sports education is more valid. However, in the current situation in South Korea, the theoretical concepts of copyright regarding sports records have not been systematically organized, leading to a significant lack of theoretical foundations for nurturing sports talents. Therefore, this study serves as a foundational research for sports copyright education, with the aim of organizing the content of education centered around sports records. The research employed a literature review method based on various prior studies and documents related to sports records, sports policies, and sports law. In summary, the results of the study are as follows: Firstly, records of sports athletes' achievements are categorized according to their nature, including personal information, game records, portraits, and other records. Secondly, the copyright for a player's records is conditionally recognized based on the criteria defined in copyright law.

Published: March 2024

The increasing popularity of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) as a treatment for early gastric cancer has highlighted the importance of quality assessment in achieving curative resections. This article emphasizes the significance of evaluating ESD quality, not only for curative cases but also for non-curative ones. Postoperative assessment relies on the endoscopic curability (eCura) classification, but management strategies for eCuraC-1 tumour with a positive horizontal margin are unclear. Current research primarily focuses on comparing additional surgical procedures in high-risk patients, while studies specifically targeting eCuraC-1 patients are limited. Exploring management strategies and follow-up outcomes for such cases could provide valuable insights. Furthermore, the application of molecular imaging using near-infrared fluorescent tracers holds promise for precise tumour diagnosis and navigation, potentially impacting the management of early-stage gastric cancer patients. Advancing research in these areas is essential for improving the overall efficacy of endoscopic techniques and refining treatment indications.
Increasing Sawn Timber Yield in Cant Sawing
Authors:   Bauman Moscow State Technical University (Mytishchi Branch), Kaptelkin Aleksandr A. , Kulikova Nadezhda V. , Rykunin Stanislav N.
Published: March 2024

The log cutting theory accepts that the volumetric yield of edged sawn timber from the maximum volume cant will be maximal. According to current standards, edged sawn timber must have specified thickness and width. Some cants are not used for the production of centre yield because the widths of their faces are aliquant of the centre yield thickness. The volume of such cant in centre yield production is not taken into account in the log cutting theory and the conclusion that their volumetric yield from the maximum volume cant will be maximal is not obvious. The 1st stage of cant sawing is obtaining a two-edged cant from a log. At that, due to the deviation of the roundwood axis from the centre line of the sawing pattern, a narrow and a wide face are obtained. We consider the dimensioning of the narrow face of a two-edged cant, as its size determines the volumetric yield of centre yield. Within the narrow face of a two-edged cant 2 zones are allocated: unconditional and probabilistic. In the unconditional zone, an integer number of edged boards is obtained. In the range of roundwood diameters from 17 to 29 cm, only the roundwood with the diameters of 21 and 25 cm have provided the maximum volume two-edged cants, but the volumetric yield of the centre yield from the roundwood of these diameters has not been maximal. It follows from this that the maximum volume cant does not guarantee the maximal volumetric centre yield. The probability zone includes a non-integer number of edged boards. It is impossible to determine their number in an analytical way, so the methods of probability theory have been used. The distribution function of the narrow face of a two-edged cant has been derived. In order to use the distribution function to obtain a non-integer number of edged boards, the width of the probability zone has been calculated, as well as the size of the part of the probability zone decisive in obtaining a non-integer number of edged boards and the confidence interval. Further, the “Distribution function of the width of the narrow face of a two-edged cant” table was used to determine the non-integer number of edged boards. Obtaining the noninteger number of the edged boards from a two-edged cant can be implemented in practice using changeable or adjacent sawing patterns. The presented results can be applied when determining the number of sorting groups of roundwood before its feeding to the sawmill and when changing the technology of centre yield production.

Published: March 2024

For pulp production, large-scale enterprises have been built which, while in operation, are subject to new requirements, different from the design ones, for economic efficiency, labour safety, as well as impact on the local population and the environment. Significant success in this work has been achieved by changing the liquor recovery technology, switching to burning black liquor of increased concentration, which makes it possible to almost completely eliminate the largest source of hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan emissions with flue gases, reduce sulfur losses and improve energy efficiency of soda recovery boilers. Another significant source of soda recovery boiler emissions is a smelt dissolving tank vent. An important technological operation of dissolving molten sodium salts with weak white liquor supplied from the causticization shop takes place in the tank. The modern development of smelt leaching technology is related to the improvement of equipment compatible with the technology of regeneration of chemical reagents for pulp production. Heat exchangers and gas purifiers of “gas-liquid” systems, easier to adapt to technological requirements compared to other systems, are installed on the dissolving tank vent. The installation of such equipment provides the change in the smelt leaching technology, and affects the technology of causticization and lime recovery. This article covers the research of the relationship between the technical solutions ensuring the safety of personnel in the boiler shop, heat and chemicals recovery, as well as purification of gas emissions and the changes in the technology of smelt leaching in the soda recovery boiler of the pulp mill. On the basis of experimental data and a mathematical model of the movement of the vapour-gas mixture in the smelt dissolving tank vent, the technological feasibility of installing heat exchangers at different heights of the vent and the possibility of effective purification of gas emissions using a direct-flow sprayer have been considered. The applicability of the irrigation of the steam-gas flow with weak white liquor, which is formed during the cycle of chemical regeneration in pulp production, as well as the conditions for ensuring reliable operation of gas purification equipment, have been investigated. The quantitative characteristics of the necessary change in consumption and composition of weak white liquor and the methods of its supply to the dissolving tank have been obtained.

The compact shape of the shrub has been noted in Spiraea betulifolia Pall and Spiraea Bumalda Burv (1.0 × 1.3 and 1.0 × 1.1 m, respectively). While conducting phenological observations, it has been recorded that the first leaves of Spiraea sericea Turcz, Spiraea salicifolia L., Spiraea ulmifolia Scop (L.) Maxim and Spiraea nipponica var. tosaensis Maxim begin to appear in mid-May. The leaf blades of the remaining introduced species under study unfold with a difference of two weeks from the previously listed ones. It has been established that all the species of Spirea L. under study successfully tolerate the harsh northern climate (winter hardiness score I–II) and have become naturalized, which has been confirmed by the abundance of fruiting and the sowing quality of the seeds. According to archival data, the seeds of all the species of Spiraea L. under study ripen annually. The largest proportion of germinable seeds has been observed in Spiraea betulifolia Pall (92 %). High seed germination energy has been noted in Spiraea sericea Turcz and Spiraea betulifolia Pall. The period of seed germination for all Spiraea has been 15 days, except for Spiraea Bumalda Burv., which has been left on the bed for up to 20 days, however, the germination rate has been only 57 %, and a fifth of the tested seeds have been empty. The high quality of self-reproducing seeds leads to the conclusion that Spiraea sericea Turcz., Spiraea nipponica var. tosaensis, Spiraea betulifolia, Spiraea ulmifolia Scop (L.) Maxim and Spiraea salicifolia L. can be grown from seed stock. All the species under study are characterized by the full extent of adaptability. The decisive factor influencing the degree of adaptability of Spiraea is high winter hardiness of these plants. The adaptive capacity of introduced species determines the boundaries of the secondary distribution area. All the species under study can be recommended for northern city landscaping.

The forest-steppes of Central Siberia occupying submontane troughs and intermountain basins separated by taiga vegetation are considered insular. Forest woody vegetation is mainly represented by birch, aspen, larch and pine stands. A decisive role in the ecological sustainability of forest areas is played by larch plantations. This study has aimed to identify the characteristics of the dynamics of individual forest elements in the mixed deciduous stands within the forest area. The tasks have been to identify the characteristics of the forest area, characterize the dynamics of the taxation parameters of major and minor elements of the mixed stands and assess the contribution of the stands to the carbon balance. The work is based on the data of 548 strata. We have established the characteristics of the forest area age structure and how the stands of various completeness and productivity are represented in it. We have also estimated the variability of the average stands taxation parameters in different age periods. The average values obtained have become the basis for mathematical modeling of the table of the dynamics of the taxation parameters of the mixed stands. It turns out that the process to a reasonable degree of adequacy is reflected by the Weibull distribution. The accuracy of the equations has been estimated by the value of the coefficient of determination (R2) and the standard error of the equation (S). On the basis of the obtained mathematical models, we have constructed the table of the dynamics of the average taxation parameters of the stands of the forest elements and of the mixed stand as a whole. The biological system of forest woody vegetation under consideration has a significant carbon sequestration potential. However, there is currently no generally accepted procedure for assessing the effectiveness of this process. Russian and foreign researchers have collected a large amount of data from different regions, but they have been using different methods. To estimate carbon stocks in the stands that are the object of the study, we have used the conversion-volume method for estimating carbon stocks in forest plantations. The result is the obtained data illustrating the dynamics of carbon stocks in the aspen-birch stands in the insular forest-steppes of Central Siberia.
