STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF USING THE SONGS TO IMPROVE PRONUNCIATION
Authors: Situmeang Lisda Via Grace , Panjaitan Nelson Balisar
Published: July 2024

Pronunciation is an essential aspect of language learning, and it can be a challenging skill for many students to master. However, research has shown that using songs in language learning can be an effective way to improve pronunciation skills (Chen & Liang, 2018; Godwin-Jones, 2019; Lee, 2021; Zahra & Hadi, 2020). One reason why songs may be effective for improving pronunciation is that they provide learners with a model for correct pronunciation. When students listen to and sing along with songs, they are exposed to the correct pronunciation of words and phrases, which can help them to develop a more accurate pronunciation themselves. This research uses qualitative methods, especially interview analysis. One of the most crucial sources in qualitative research to gain an in-depth understanding of how people experience, feel, and interpret the social world is the interview (Dong, 2012). According to Oakley, a qualitative interview is a form of framework where practices and standards can be reached, pushed, and reinforced in addition to being documented (Nasreen, 2019). This research aims to determine students’ perceptions regarding the use of songs as a tool to improve English pronunciation easily. This research was guided by three main research questions: 1. What are the students' perceptions of using English songs to improve their pronunciation? 2. Can English songs help EFL students get better at pronouncing words? 3. How could using music help students pronounce words more fluently? Each song aimed to explore a specific aspect of songs for pronunciation. This study aims to gain insight into the various ways students use songs to learn language, such as saying words and hearing the rhythm and lyrics to facilitate vocabulary learning. Learning can be made more engaging and entertaining by using songs. While learning the target language, pupils feel at ease in a calm environment and pick up the language (as seen by their better pronunciation). They become more open to learning due to lowering their affective filter. Songs also aid students in better comprehending and pronouncing key phonological elements.

Authors: Kolluru Vinoth Kumar , Nuthakki Yudhisthir , Koganti Sonika , Chintakunta Advaitha Naidu
Published: July 2024

The growing threat of antimicrobial resistance has spurred various efforts to preserve existing antibiotics, develop new ones, combat multi-drug-resistant infections, and enhance patient outcomes. These endeavors have led to an accumulation of routinely collected data, such as electronic health records and microbiological information, which can be leveraged to develop personalized antimicrobial stewardship strategies. Machine learning techniques have been developed to predict antimicrobial resistance from whole-genome sequencing data, forecast drug susceptibility, identify epidemic patterns for surveillance, propose novel antibacterial treatments, and accelerate scientific discoveries. However, a notable gap exists between the number of machine learning applications in research and their effective implementation in practical settings. This narrative review highlights some of the remarkable opportunities that machine learning offers when applied to research related to antimicrobial resistance. In the future, machine learning tools have the potential to become a powerful weapon against superbugs. The review aims to provide an overview of available publications to assist researchers interested in exploring new approaches and to familiarize them with the current applications of machine learning techniques in this field.
A NOVEL APPROACH ON THE TRANSDERMAL PATCHES: A REVIEW
Authors: Chaturvedi Km Pragati , Kanaujiya Priya , Patel Manish Kumar , Katiyar Prashant Kumar
Published: June 2024

In transdermal drug delivery, the property of protecting barriers of the skin plays a role of major issue as skin does not allow passing the drug. The complex structure of skin is responsible for this issue. The present review was based on the recent updates on transdermal patches. An additional method of administering medications through the skin layer is transdermal drug delivery. A transdermal patch is a medicated patch that can be applied topically to provide medication at a specified rate directly into the bloodstream via the layers of skin. Actually, the most practical way to administer is via patches. In general, there are four main types of transdermal medical patches (drug-in adhesive, reservoir, matrix, and micro-reservoir systems). It concluded that transdermal patches hold promise as a convenient and efficient drug delivery method for a range of conditions; however, there are a number of obstacles that need to be addressed. These include the potential for self-inflicted toxicity due to incorrect dosing, poor adhesion, low drug penetration, potential trigger for skin irritation, or patch failure. In order to maximise the safety and effectiveness of this delivery system, all of this calls for additional study and development.
Logical Fallacies for Fostering Students’ Creativity
Authors: Gogovska Valentina
Published: July 2024

Development of thinking and in particular the development of mental qualities – width, depth, independence, logic, mobility, concreteness, criticism, speed, creativity, target orientation and generalization is one of the most important and consistent goals and objectives of mathematical teaching. Simultaneously, the degree to which this aim is fulfilled determines the level and effectiveness of the teaching process for the overall development of the student’s personality. An important psychological and pedagogical condition for the development of quality of thinking is students’ reflexive understanding of thinking as a process and their own mental capabilities. Mathematical creativity is not bound by established rules or methods but encourages individuals to challenge and transcend them. It embraces a spirit of playfulness, encouraging experimentation, and the formulation of “what if” questions. It embraces the notion of “productive failure,” where mistakes and setbacks are seen as opportunities for learning and generating new ideas. This work attempts to promote creativity using logical fallacies. Logical fallacies can be used during everyday mathematics classes, especially during classes for exercises through a few examples. Well-chosen examples can improve and empower the process of doing mathematics and can stimulate the process of creative thinking and motivate students’ individual development in their current learning and understanding and lead to the formation of intellectual reflection.
The Effectiveness of International Water Law in Dispute Resolution in Shared Watercourses: Case of Nile River Basin
Authors: Muyali Elie Katya
Published: July 2024

This article assesses the efficacy of International Water Law in resolving conflicts in the Nile River Basin. The focus is on the contentious 1959 agreement, which heavily favored Egypt and Sudan, leaving other countries without basin utilization rights. The 1959 agreement allocated the majority of water to its downstream states based on the outdated concept of historical rights, disregarding the needs and future development plans of upstream states. Moreover, a lack of enforcement power undermines cooperation and leads to disputes among member states. The International Water Law aims to improve cooperation through agreements, particularly the 2011 Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA) and Declaration of Principles (DoP). The review argues that the CFA has not been ratified by all countries and that the DoP only involves three of the eleven Nile River Basin states. These limitations hinder efforts to develop shared water resources peacefully. The review concludes that the unclear terms in the 1959 agreement, weak enforcement mechanisms, and the absence of an inclusive agreement that considers future water needs and climate change pose significant challenges. Currently, the International Water Law is struggling to ensure fair and sustainable water use in the Nile River Basin.
Beckett’s Not I as a Dramatic Rendition of Kristeva’s Notion of the Semiotic Chora
Authors: Çameli Muhammed Metin
Published: June 2024

Samuel Beckett as a dramatist is well-known with his contributions to the landscape of British theatre. His plays reverberate with voices of traumatized, marginalized and war-stricken characters, which function as an implicit criticism of the turbulent atmosphere of the 1900s. When Beckett addresses the problems of his time in a covert way, the playwright deconstructs conventional elements of drama by specifying no plot, no setting or no theme. This Beckettian style also becomes manifest in his use of language which is characterized by the presence of segmented structures, pauses, ellipses and even silence. Considering these tenets of Beckettian drama, the thematic concerns of his theatrical productions are assumed to primarily revolve around the issues of nihilism, language, and ontology. Therefore, Beckett’s plays are thought to be read through the lenses of distinguished theorists such as Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva. From among these theorists, the concepts of the semiotic, the symbolic and the semiotic chora of Julia Kristeva as a poststructuralist thinker provide a fertile ground for a theoretical reading of Beckett’s play Not I (1972). Relevantly, this paper principally examines the applicability of Kristeva’s “semiotic chora” into Beckett’s Not I in all aspects.
Transferring the Humour Load in Asterix Conquers America into Sinhala
Authors: Jayawardena Samanthi
Published: June 2024

Humour in animated films presents numerous challenges when they are dubbed into another language. The aim of the study is to examine how humorous elements are rendered from one language to another, in dubbed animated films. The animated film Asterix conquers America (1994) and its Sinhala dubbed version are chosen for the present study. The taxonomy proposed by Martínez-Sierra which includes eight elements, is applied to determine the humour load of the examples. Twenty-five humorous instants are selected from the film to be analysed qualitatively. In these examples, the study examines if all the identified humour elements are transferred either completely or partially or the humour elements are eliminated in the Sinhala dubbed version. The results show that a loss of humour is noted mainly because the linguistic element is not reproduced in the target language. Along with the loss of the linguistic element, other elements too can be lost. Though a loss of humour is detected in certain examples, it is compensated in certain others. As a strategy, domestication approach is preferred at times, by the translators to substitute humour elements. Their efforts to recreate humour that can be understood and appreciated by the target audience are highlighted and discussed.
Fashioning the Self in Jean Rhys’s Voyage in the Dark and Good Morning, Midnight
Authors: Koç Nesrin
Published: June 2024

Jean Rhys held a deep passion for fashion and stylish attire. Her perspective on fashion, as an instrument of adopting “a second skin” finds expression in her focus on fashioning the self, a recurring motif in Rhys’s oeuvre. The physical difficulty Rhys’s female characters, whose lives bear strong similarities to her own, have in obtaining fashionable clothes represents the broader struggles they go through as the objects of the patriarchal and colonial gaze, in their voyages through the physical and metaphorical darkness of urban spaces like Paris and London in the early 1900s. Focusing on two of these women, Anna of Voyage in the Dark and Sasha in Good Morning, Midnight, for whom fashionable clothing appears to be the only way of navigating the modern society which marginalizes them, this study explores Rhys’s multi-layered portrayal of fashion as a reflection of the near impossibility of attaining a cohesive sense of self, mirroring the characters’ struggles in fashioning their inner and outer selves.
Plain and Progressive Futurates in Turkish
Authors: Akal Taylan
Published: June 2024

Futurates denote future time reference without using future markers. In English, there are two types of futurates; plain and progressive. Plain futurates are formed by using present tense, while progressive is formed with progressive marker. Rullmann et al. (2022) differentiate plain and progressive futurates in English stating that plain futurates require schedule, while progressives do not. Based on the mentioned divergence, the present study analyzes the properties of Turkish futurates in terms of schedule requirement. The analysis on the schedule requirement of Turkish futurates are also supported by analyzing the status of nature events, and the availability of future in the past constructions. The outcomes of the study show that there is a contradiction between English and Turkish futurates in terms of schedule interpretation, and compatibility with natural events. While in English, the plain futurate requires schedule, and properly works with natural events; it is the progressive futurate that necessitates schedule, and works fine with nature events in Turkish. Additionally, the analysis on future in the past constructions in Turkish shows that progressive futurates are available with future in the past, while plain futurates are not. This finding also supports the divergence drawn between plain and progressive futurates in Turkish.

Fabrication of Solar-Powered Pumped-Storage Hydroelectric Power Station
Authors: SM Taseen Wahid  , Samiha Tasmiha  , Zayed Al Sabid  , Abedin Ahmed Afif Bin
Published: June 2024

Renewable energy is now accepted as the preferred alternative for electricity generation and as the replacement for fossil fuels. Worldwide demand for energy derived from renewable resources, especially hydro energy, is rising in tandem with rising fuel prices and environmental concerns. Our power station aims to harness the renewable energy potential of solar and hydroelectric power, combining them in an innovative and efficient manner. The prototype power station incorporates two main components: solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays and a pumped storage hydroelectric system. The solar PV arrays consist of a network of solar panels that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. The generated solar power is used for both immediate consumption and for pumping water to a higher elevation. Efficiency and efficacy differ substantially between the values obtained from upstream and downstream. Significantly surpassing downstream, upstream generates 30W of electricity at 20V of voltage and 1.5A of current. By comparison, downstream has to work with a voltage of 42mV, a current of 0.04A, and a power production of just 0.00168W. These differences amply show that the upstream arrangement makes better use of solar energy. As such, upstream proves to be the superior choice for using solar energy because of its increased productivity and performance.
Temporal land-use change of a reclaimed land in greater Dhaka and its impact on natural water cycle
Authors: Md. Habibul Huq  , Md. Mafizur Rahman  , Prof Dr G. M. Jahid Hasan
Published: June 2024

This study aims to explore the land-use induced impact on runoff and recharge of an impending urban growth on reclaimed land filled with sands in greater Dhaka to concede the low impact development through practicable methods. Having analyzed the temporal land-use change by Curve Number (CN), GIS-based Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number (SCS-CN) method has been used to evaluate the runoff of the study area. Initial land-use in 2010 with a higher CN 86 resulted in a lower CN 72 in 2020-2022 due to land-use change (pre-developed/existing condition) with permeable soil for urban development. However, the gradual land-use change resulted in more imperviousness and an increasing trend in CN. With ultimate CN 84, approximately 243% more runoff was predicted during complete urbanization in 2040 and beyond as opposed to CN 72 in 2020-2022. Due to the existing higher groundwater table of the area, the Water Table Fluctuation (WTF) method has been used to find the natural recharge potential. As higher CN results in more runoff and recharge loss, ultimate natural recharge potential with CN 84 declines to more than 50% of the pre-developed condition. Results from the methods suggested a comprehensive hydrological forecasting due to land-use change on reclaimed land with assorted options for natural water cycle balance.

Este artículo afirma que el problema principal que plantea la inteligencia artificial (IA) es el de la capacidad humana de convivencia con la tecnología. La IA le plantea retos a los seres humanos como jamás había sucedido hasta la fecha. Para ello, se impone revisar exactamente qué es, en qué consiste, la ética. El primer argumento sostiene que la ética no es, en modo alguno, asunto de valores, principio o ideas; antes bien, se trata del problema de la coexistencia. El segundo argumento sostiene que la IA es, de lejos, la mejor y más sofisticada forma de tecnología; sin embargo, bien visto, es bastante más que simplemente tecnología. El tercer argumento pone en evidencia que la IA es en realidad vida artificial (VA) y aporta argumentos al respecto. El cuarto argumento sostiene que el problema de máxima complejidad para los seres humanos es el del convivio. Puntualmente dicho, se trata de vivir con otras especies y otras formas de vida. Al final se extraen algunas conclusiones con un carácter abierto.
Eski Sovyet Baltık Ülkeleri Estonya, Letonya ve Litvanya’nın Güvenlik Politikaları
Authors: Omer Ömer , Özbek Taylan
Published: June 2024

Estonya, Letonya ve Litvanya Baltık ülkeleri olarak bilinir. Bu üç komşu Baltık ülkesinin ortak özelliği eski SSCB ülkesi olmalarıdır.
Bu çalışmada, Baltık ülkelerinin, SSCB sonra elde ettikleri bağımsızlıklarını nasıl korudukları açıklanmıştır. Bu ülkelerin bağımsızlıkları açısından en önemli tehdit Rusya’dır. Bu sebeple, üç ülke de savunma stratejilerini, Rusya’nın ülkelerine müdahalesi veya işgali üzerine kurmuşlardır.
Bağımsızlık sonrası Baltık ülkeleri kendilerini Batı ülkeleri tarafında konumlandırdılar. Bu sebeple AB ve NATO üyelikleri için çabaladılar. 2004 yılında hem AB hem de NATO üyesi olmuşlardır. Özellikle NATO üyeliği Baltık ülkelerin güvenliği için önemlidir. Çünkü bu ülkeler ulusal kaynaklarla Rusya’ya karşı ülkelerini koruyamayacaklarını düşündüler. Güvenlik politikalarını ulus üstü yapılara taşıdılar. Bu politikalarında başarılı oldular. Ulusal programlarla NATO üyelikleri Baltık ülkelerinin güvenlik kaygılarını en aza indirdi. Ancak Kırım’ın Rusya tarafından işgali ve 2022 Ukrayna-Rusya Savaşı Baltık ülkelerinin güvenlik politikalarını tekrar gözden geçirmelerine sebep oldu.
Kırım işgali ve Ukrayna savaşıyla Baltık ülkeleri NATO iş birliğini artırmışlardır. Özellikle 2022 NATO Madrid toplantısında önemli kararlar alınmıştır. NATO’nın acil müdahale gücünün Baltık ülkelerinde konuşlanması sağlanmıştır. NATO’nun Baltık bölgesindeki askeri varlığı artırılmıştır. Baltık Denizi ile Karadeniz’in güvenliği aynı konseptte değerlendirilmiştir. Baltık bölgesinde NATO tarafından Rusya’ya karşı konuşlanan dört taburluk askeri yapı bugün kolordu düzeyine çıkmıştır. Baltık ülkeleri ulusal güvenliklerini bu sayede güvence altına almışlardır.
Adverse Drug Reaction of Melanocyl Ointment

Published: June 2024

The term "adverse drug reaction" (ADR) refers to an unpleasant and inadvertent reaction T that happens at the dosage of a medication that is typically used for illness prophylaxis, diagnosis, ortherapy.
Because ADRs are associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality, they place a significant cost on contemporary society. Any class of medication might have adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and as more and more therapies become available, the likelihood of ADRs rises as well.

A Complexity-Aware Web Searching Paradigm to Improve User Productivity using Natural Language Processing and the DistilBERT Transformer Model
Authors: Zhang Ruiyi , Gonzalez Carlos
Published: June 2024

Search engines (Google search, Bing search, etc.) have had great success over the past decade, promoting productivity in almost every area. Based on user inputs, search engines are able to present users with lists of related contents (links) and previews. More recently, high-level human-like responses combining various searched contents are being made possible due to recent advancements in large language models (LLM). However, oftentimes, users still find it still hard to quickly navigate to the contents they really look for and demand a better searching framework. For example, some users might waste time skimming through lots of technical details when they just hope to have an overview. We examine this user demand and believe a complexity-aware pipeline could greatly help with this inconvenience. More specifically, we propose a searching paradigm that analyzes results from standard search engines by their complexities first, and then present users with complexity-labeled contents through a new user interface design. Through this new searching paradigm, we aim to present users with more customized search results sorted by their complexity labels with consideration to user intent, whether that would be a high-level overview or a detailed technical inspection. This is done through utilizing state-of-the-art transformer models fine-tuned on our custom-made dataset and modified for our intent.
Approaches of Classification Models for Sentiment Analysis
Authors: Tsiligaridis John
Published: June 2024

Sentiment analysis (SA) is a Natural Language Processing (NLP) method that helps identify the emotions in text. It is the automated process of identifying and classifying emotions in a text as positive, negative, or neutral sentiment. This way, companies can understand customers’ sentiments, improve their products and services accordingly, and determine effective strategies. The need to discover the algorithm with the best classification performance is obvious. To this end, two different approaches for Sentiment Analysis problems are presented. The first one is based on Machine Learning (ML) models and the second one on Deep Learning (DP) models. Most ML models are flexible depending on their classifier hyperparameters and provide competitive accuracy levels but not all of them. Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forests (RF) of ML and the various models based on Neural Networks (NNs) of DL are applied. Useful results are obtained. Measures for classifiers’ effectiveness are also provided.
Evaluating the Limitations of Large Language Models in Board Games
Authors: Bao Condy , Ma FangFang
Published: June 2024

In recent years, advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have sparked significant interest in their capabilities across various areas. This paper investigates the deficiencies in their performance in board games such as Chess, Connect 4, and Tic Tac Toe. Key findings from the experiments include inconsistencies in board representation in Tic Tac Toe, Connect 4, and Chess. Additionally, GPT-4's ability to solve chess puzzles was tested across different difficulty levels and prompting strategies. For easy puzzles, GPT-4 achieved an accuracy of 19.8% with zero-shot prompting, which improved to 30% with one-shot prompting and 32.8% with two-shot prompting. For intermediate puzzles, the accuracies were 14%, 17.6%, and 18.6% for zero-shot, one-shot, and two-shot prompting, respectively. For hard puzzles, the accuracies were 9.80%, 13.5%, and 15% for the same prompting strategies. When the same puzzles were presented in a multiple-choice format, the accuracies improved significantly to 48.2%, 49.4%, and 47.2%, respectively. Additionally, when given repeated attempts at easy puzzles, GPT-4's accuracy improved from 19.8% to 33.4%. These results highlight the key challenges faced by LLMs in playing board games and suggest potential areas for improvement in current models. Furthermore, the discussions provide insights into their limitations in performing other general tasks involving memory storage and thinking processes, which extend beyond just board games.

Authors: Mudassar Noor  , Shah Syed Zubair Hussain , Usman Nawaz  , Qaiser Mansoor
Published: July 2024

Objective: to find a link between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) called rs20417 in the cyclooxygenase-2 gene and Aspirin resistance in Pakistani patients with heart disease.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Pharmacology Department, National University of Medical Sciences, in collaboration with the National Institute of Heart Diseases and the Institute of Biomedical and Genetic Engineering in Islamabad Pakistan, from Oct 2018 to Dec 2021.
Methodology: The study was carried out on 384 patients (272 males and 112 females) with ischemic heart disease. Patients who had been on Aspirin for at least seven days were selected using non-probability convenience sampling. Platelet aggregation was performed using a Transmission Aggregometer, with arachidonic acid as an agonist. DNA extraction was done using the kit method (Invitrogen, Thermofisher). Then, Polymerase chain Reaction, Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, and gel electrophoresis were used to identify SNP rs20417.
Results: In this study, 14.0% (n=54) of ischemic heart disease patients were found to be Aspirin resistant, while 86.0% (n=330) were Aspirin responders. The genotyping of COX2 SNP rs20417 showed that 55.46% (n=213) of patients were homozygous with the GG genotype, 34.11%(n=131) had CG (heterozygous), and 10.41% (n=40) of patients were carriers of homogeneous (CC). Statistical analysis did not demonstrate a significant association of any of the alleles of the evaluated SNP with Aspirin resistance (p>0.05).
Conclusion: In the Pakistani population, Aspirin resistance is not associated with any specific polymorphic form of Cyclooxygenase-2 at SNP rs20417.

Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual condition in women of reproductive age, characterized by pelvic pain during the menstrual cycle. This article reviews the risk factors, clinic and diagnosis of primary dysmenorrhea to propose a multimodal treatment approach for this condition. Primary dysmenorrhea is pelvic pain associated with the menstrual period without underlying pelvic pathology. In contrast, secondary dysmenorrhea refers to pelvic pain that presents as a symptom of other gynecologic conditions. Diagnosis is based on detailed clinical history, physical and gynecological examination, and complementary tests may be performed in specific cases. Treatment of primary dysmenorrhea is multimodal and aims to relieve pain and improve the patient’s quality of life. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the first line of treatment, although other therapeutic approaches can be employed.

Ovarian fibromas are rare tumors that mainly occur in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Symptoms can vary, and in some cases, they may be associated with ascites and pleural effusion, known as Meigs Syndrome. The article presents the case of a 55-year-old patient with a history of hypertension and bronchial asthma, who visit a gynecologist due to pain in the right iliac fossa of three months duration. Various studies were performed, including ultrasound and abdominal and pelvic CT, which reveal the presence of solid bilateral ovarian tumors. The patient undergoes a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and despite it’s characteristics, the histopathological study makes the diagnosis of bilateral ovarian fibroma with no signs of malignancy. The clinical presentation of ovarian fibromas is nonspecific, often leading to confusion with malignant ovarian pathology or other benign uterine or ovarian conditions, representing a challenge for preoperative diagnosis.

Published: July 2024

With the aim of investigate the acute effects of two concentrations (25 and 100%) of N. 6 fuel oil-water-accommodated fraction (OWAF) on antioxidant enzyme activities and immunological responses, fishes Thalassophryne maculosa were sampled from the La Restiga Lagoon, Margarita island, in eastern Venezuela. The antioxidant enzymes, catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) were measured in liver and gills. The macrophagic phagocytosis and antibacterial lysozyme activity of anterior kidney were the immune parameters examined. Increases in gill GST activity and hepatic GR activity were observed after the exposure to 25 and 100% OWAF, respectively. GPX, CAT and immune responses were not affected by the experimental treatments. Our results demonstrated that among the antioxidant enzymes tested, GR and GST activities were the most sensible to the acute treatment with fuel oil, indicating changes in the redox cellular state that may result in oxidative stress in T. maculosa.
