Semantic Interaction between Signs in Caricature: Linguistic Exploration to the Movement of Meaning from Sign to Style
Authors: Bsharat Ahmad
Published: January 2024

Both Sender & Recipient do communicate through the utilization of signs within a specific context. These signs operate via Grammatical and Stylistic System, which has an essential role in testing meaning more accurately. As a matter of fact, in any communication based on Linguistic Interaction, errors can be corrected, words are modified, and even clarification could be increased. We usually raise inquiries, such as “Do you mean this?” The Recipient to this inquiry may clarify his idea by using more accurate style. But how do tags or signs function in a graphic speech? Can we consider these signs in a Caricature as the intended style? In order to answer these questions, we shall assume that the Semantic Interaction between the signs of a Caricature is the Style, and to test the validity of such assumption, we shall focus on the movement of signs towards the style and ending at the communication process, since the latter is deemed a critical point in testing meaning.

“POLYPHONIC ALBUM” BY BORIS NAPREEV: FEATURES OF THE COMPOSITIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE CYCLE AND FUGUES
Authors: Екименко Т.С. , Шишкина С.А.
Published: January 2024

В данной статье авторы рассматривают особенности строения цикла и фуг в «Полифоническом альбоме» для фортепиано Бориса Напреева. Предметом изучения в работе явился тематизм цикла, некоторые черты экспозиций и свободных частей фуг, строение цикла в целом. Авторы приходят к выводу, что композитор в сборнике охватил и продемонстрировал собственное видение разнообразных типов 3-частных фуг (двуладовой, реперкуссионной, ладово-развивающейся, контрапунктически-развивающейся), осваиваемых в учебном курсе «Полифония». Данное обстоятельство дает возможность рассматривать сборник Напреева как хрестоматию по полифоническому анализу (и как образец для сочинения студенческих фуг) для музыковедов, композиторов и исполнителей различных направлений подготовки.

In the article, the authors consider the features of the structure of the cycle and fugues in the “Polyphonic Album” for piano by Boris Napreev. The subject of study in the work was the thematism of the cycle, some features of expositions and free parts of fugues, the structure of the cycle as a whole. The authors come to the conclusion that the composer covered and demonstrated his own vision of various types of 3-part fugues (two-key, repercussion, fret-developing, contrapuntal-developing) in the collected works, mastered in the training course “Polyphony”. This circumstance makes it possible to consider Napreev's collected works as a textbook on polyphonic analysis (and as a model for composing student fugues) for musicologists, composers and performers of various fields of training.

The management of mosque inventory is one of the crucial responsibilities that mosque administrators must undertake. Efficient inventory management in a mosque aids in understanding the condition of mosque items, identifying their needs, and effectively managing these assets. Presently, Android information technology has rapidly evolved and become an integral part of people's daily lives. This technology can be harnessed to develop an application for managing mosque inventory reports. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of an Android-based information technology application for managing mosque inventory reports on increasing public interest in making donations (infak). This study employs a quantitative method using a survey approach. The research population comprises individuals who have previously made donations in mosques. The research sample consists of 100 randomly selected respondents. Data is collected through a questionnaire. The research findings demonstrate that the Android-based information technology application for managing mosque inventory reports has a positive and significant influence on increasing public interest in donations. This is evidenced by a regression coefficient value of 0.657, which is statistically significant (p < 0.05). Effective management of mosque inventory can enhance public trust in mosque administration. This is because the public gains transparent and accurate insights into the condition and needs of mosque items. Public trust in mosque management can boost interest in donations as people believe their donations will be used for the mosque's benefit. An Android-based information technology application for managing mosque inventory reports provides transparent and accurate information about the condition and requirements of mosque items. Therefore, this application can enhance public trust in mosque administration and further stimulate public interest in making donations.

日本陸軍将校の見たオスマン陸軍とその実態 Ottoman Military Organization and the Japanese Military Reports (1878-1908)
Authors: Nagashima Iku
Published: January 2024

This study introduces the military reports written by the Meiji era Japanese officers who observed the Ottoman Army between Russo-Turkish War to the Young Turk Revolution (1878-1908) and explores the Ottoman military organization based on Ottoman archival materials. Furthermore, it aims to reveal the contemporary images of the Ottoman Army with an in-depth analysis of its organization. Komatsu no Miya Akihito, Fukushima Yasumasa and Morioka Morishige; the three Japanese military officers who had observed the Ottoman Army, criticize it heavily, since they thought while its soldiers were competent for military services, its organization and command & control system was not operated efficiently. From the Russo-Turkish War to the Young Turk Revolution, the Ottoman Army had mainly served in the Unconventional War in Macedonia. Macedonia was the strategic destination for the Bulgarian Army, hypothetically the main enemy of the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, the Ottoman Army constantly increased the numbers of the divisions of the Third Army which was defending Macedonia. In return, the overcrowded Third Army started causing the entire formation of the Ottoman Army to lose its balance as well as coordination among its units. Excessive personnel numbers, complexity in organizational structure combined with a lack of a commander-general who could take independent decisions and coordinate effort was becoming the main threat for the Ottoman military affairs.

Multi-replicas integrity checking scheme with supporting probability audit for cloud-based IoT
Authors: Yuan Yilin , Yang Fan , Wang Xiao , Tian Yimin , Li Zichen
Published: January 2024

Nowadays, more people are choosing to use cloud storage services to save space and reduce costs. To enhance the durability and persistence, users opt to store important data in the form of multiple copies on cloud servers. However, outsourcing data in the cloud means that it is not directly under the control of users, raising concerns about security and integrity. Recent research has found that most existing multicopy integrity verification schemes can correctly perform integrity verification even when multiple copies are stored on the same Cloud Service Provider (CSP), which clearly deviates from the initial intention of users wanting to store files on multiple CSPs. With these considerations in mind, this paper proposes a scheme for synchronizing the integrity verification of copies, specifically focusing on strongly privacy Internet of Things (IoT) electronic health record (EHR) data. First, the paper addresses the issues present in existing multicopy integrity verification schemes. The scheme incorporates the entity Cloud Service Manager (CSM) to assist in the model construction, and each replica file is accompanied with its corresponding homomorphic verification tag. To handle scenarios where replica files stored on multiple CSPs cannot provide audit proof on time due to objective reasons, the paper introduces a novel approach called probability audit. By incorporating a probability audit, the scheme ensures that replica files are indeed stored on different CSPs and guarantees the normal execution of the public auditing phase. The scheme utilizes identity-based encryption (IBE) for the detailed design, avoiding the additional overhead caused by dealing with complex certificate issues. The proposed scheme can withstand forgery attack, replace attack, and replay attack, demonstrating strong security. The performance analysis demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the scheme.
Carotenoid-dependent singlet oxygen photogeneration in light-harvesting complex 2 of Ectothiorhodospira haloalkaliphila leads to the formation of organic hydroperoxides and damage to both pigments and protein matrix
Authors: Yanykin Denis , Paskhin Mark , Ashikhmin Aleksandr Aleksandrovich , Bolshakov Maxim Alexandrovich
Published: January 2024

Earlier, it was suggested that carotenoids in light-harvesting complexes 2 (LH2) can generate singlet oxygen, further oxidizing bacteriochlorophyll to 3-acetyl-chlorophyll. In the present work, it was found that illumination of isolated LH2 preparations of purple sulfur bacterium Ectothiorhodospira haloalkaliphila with light in the carotenoid absorption region leads to the photoconsumption of molecular oxygen, which is accompanied by the formation of hydroperoxides of organic molecules in the complexes. Photoformation of two types of organic hydroperoxides were revealed: highly lipophilic (12 molecules per one LH2) and relatively hydrophobic (68 per one LH2). It has been shown that illumination leads to damage to light-harvesting complexes. On the one hand, photobleaching of bacteriochlorophyll and a decrease in its fluorescence intensity are observed. On the other hand, the photoinduced increase in the hydrodynamic radius of the complexes, the reduction in their thermal stability, and the change in fluorescence intensity indicate conformational changes occurring in the protein molecules of the LH2 preparations. Inhibition of the processes described above upon the addition of singlet oxygen quenchers (L-histidine, Trolox, sodium L-ascorbate) may support the hypothesis that carotenoids in LH2 preparations are capable of generating singlet oxygen, which, in turn, damage to protein molecules.
neo4jsbml: import systems biology markup language data into the graph database Neo4j
Authors: Gricourt Guillaume , Duigou Thomas , Dérozier Sandra , Faulon Jean-Loup
Published: January 2024

Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) has emerged as a standard for representing biological models, facilitating model sharing and interoperability. It stores many types of data and complex relationships, complicating data management and analysis. Traditional database management systems struggle to effectively capture these complex networks of interactions within biological systems. Graph-oriented databases perform well in managing interactions between different entities. We present neo4jsbml, a new solution that bridges the gap between the Systems Biology Markup Language data and the Neo4j database, for storing, querying and analyzing data. The Systems Biology Markup Language organizes biological entities in a hierarchical structure, reflecting their interdependencies. The inherent graphical structure represents these hierarchical relationships, offering a natural and efficient means of navigating and exploring the model’s components. Neo4j is an excellent solution for handling this type of data. By representing entities as nodes and their relationships as edges, Cypher, Neo4j’s query language, efficiently traverses this type of graph representing complex biological networks. We have developed neo4jsbml, a Python library for importing Systems Biology Markup Language data into a Neo4j database using a user-defined schema. By leveraging Neo4j’s graphical database technology, exploration of complex biological networks becomes intuitive and information retrieval efficient. Neo4jsbml is a tool designed to import Systems Biology Markup Language data into a Neo4j database. Only the desired data is loaded into the Neo4j database. neo4jsbml is user-friendly and can become a useful new companion for visualizing and analyzing metabolic models through the Neo4j graphical database. neo4jsbml is open source software and available at https://github.com/brsynth/neo4jsbml.
Evaluating the effectiveness of ORCIT’s note-taking resource
Authors: Mankauskienė Dalia , Carsten Svetlana
Published: January 2024

The paper presents a study conducted over several weeks with 22 undergraduate fourth year Translation BA students taking the compulsory Consecutive Interpreting module. The aim of the study was to ascertain whether the use of the ORCIT note-taking resource had an impact on learner knowledge and note-taking skills. The study followed the relevant parameters of the five-level holistic TEL evaluation framework by Pickering and Joynes (2016). The results did not show a statistically significantly better performance of the ORCIT group versus the control group during the trial but, comparing the pre-trial interpreting performance of students with their interpretation during the trial, the ORCIT group showed a statistically significant improvement, while the control group did not. This suggests a possible beneficial effect of the note-taking resource in terms of transfer of learning (learner gain) rather than knowledge retention.

Role of HER2/neu in Colorectal Carcinoma: A Cross-sectional Study from a Tertiary Care Centre in West Bengal, India
Authors: Nandi Sudeshna , Das Chhanda , Kundu Aniruddha , Mukhopadhyay Madhumita , Basu Abhimanyu
Published: January 2024

Introduction: In many tumours, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) expression and HER2 amplification are studied as therapeutic and prognostic factors. The incidence of HER2/neu expression and its consequences in patients with colorectal carcinoma has shown conflicting evidence. Aim: To evaluate the utility of HER2/neu expression in colorectal carcinoma and to find any association between HER2/neu expression, histological grade, and stage of the tumour. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 cases of colorectal carcinoma. Patients undergoing surgery for colorectal tumours were selected over an 18-month period (January 2020 to June 2021) in a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Various clinical and demographic parameters were obtained from the patients, and the specimens were subjected to Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for HER2/neu. The results were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)software version 25.0 (IBM, Armonk, New York, USA). Results: On HER2/neu IHC examination, 30 cases (60%) showed a 3+ score, 4 cases (8%) showed a 2+ score, 7 cases (14%) showed a 1+ score, and the remaining 9 cases (18%) showed a score of 0. HER2/neu expression was found in 30 cases (60%) of colorectal carcinoma. HER2/neu expression showed a significant association with the histological grade of the tumour (p-value=0.020). HER2/neu expression also showed a significant association (p-value<0.001) with histological subtypes of the tumour. Conclusion: This study revealed a significant association between HER2/neu expression and histological subtypes and grade of the tumour. Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma showed the highest expression, while mucinous adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma showed minimal or absent HER2/ neu expression. Thus, HER2/neu can serve as a prognostic and therapeutic marker in colorectal carcinoma. In conclusion, surgery alone is not curative for patients with colorectal cancer, and additional forms of management may be required to improve patient survival. In such cases, HER2/neu expression can guide new adjuvant therapy.

Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is part of the immunisation schedule in India. It is a live-attenuated vaccine with very few adverse reactions, one of which is BCG adenitis. The intriguing fact is that there has been a sudden upsurge in the number of BCG adenitis cases (two males and two female children), with four reported cases within three months (March 2023-June 2023). There were two male and two female children, aged between 2-8 months. All of them presented with left axillary swelling, and all but one had low grade fever only in the initial days. They all had a healed BCG vaccination scar on their left arm. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) showed multiple epithelioid granulomas and, in some cases, frank caseation necrosis with the demonstration of tubercle bacilli using either Ziehl-Neelsen (Z-N) stain or Cartridge-based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT). These cases mostly benefited from pus aspiration from the swelling site, with no definite role for oral antibiotics. Proper training of nursing or paramedical staff regarding vaccination technique and dosage, proper maternal and child healthcare, early detection of these cases with a high index of suspicion, as well as adequate knowledge of the treating doctors and parents/caregivers, may help in prompt management of these cases in future occurrences.
The Impact of Government Subsidies and R&D Investment on the Operating Performance of New Energy Enterprises in China
Authors: Jun Wang
Published: January 2024

This paper selects the data of listed companies of new energy enterprises in China from 2017 to 2021 for empirical analysis to explore the impact of government subsidies and R&D (research and development) investment on operating performance using the panel data fixed effects model. The results show that in new energy enterprises, R&D investment and government subsidies are positively correlated with operating performance. When R&D investment and government subsidies exist at the same time, the interaction effect triggered by the two will play a positive moderating effect on business performance, but the promotion effect of both on business performance is weakened; at this time, the government subsidies have a better promotion effect on business performance. Based on the above findings, this paper puts forward the following suggestions: the government and related departments should optimize the subsidy mode of new energy enterprises, reduce direct subsidies, and adopt indirect subsidy policies such as tax incentives, to avoid excessive dependence on direct subsidies.

Sustainably harvesting and selling wild fruits can offer rural communities an economical source of income while concurrently safeguarding ecosystems. This study aims for the global promotion of wild edible fruits (WEFs) in the rural areas of Sunni Nagar Panchayat, located in the Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh. This study primarily focuses on comprehensively documenting the utilization of wild edible fruits by local inhabitants through a structured survey and in-depth interviews. Employing a multistage random sampling technique, five villages—Ambari, Kadog, Kamla dugri, Kalwi, and Basantpur—were chosen based on the prevalence of Punica granatum and Syzygium cumini. This research underscores the economic advantages of collecting WEFs for rural communities, providing them with affordable and easily accessible food sources. Additionally, it promotes public awareness, community-based management, and research on indigenous fruits to diversify diets and contribute to the overall well-being of these communities.

Pomegranate and Jamun (local names referring to the botanical species of Punica granatum and Syzygium cumini, respectively) trees play crucial roles in ecological conservation by offering habitat, shelter, and promoting biodiversity, while also combating soil erosion. However, escalating threats such as population growth, forest fires, urbanization, and timber extraction endanger this rich biodiversity. To counter plant extinction risks, a strategic approach to forest conservation is imperative, emphasizing sustainable collection and trade of underutilized species beneficial for food, medicine, and income. Climate change poses challenges to pomegranate production, impacting orchards with temperature fluctuations, altered precipitation, extreme weather, and pests. Adaptation measures, including irrigation, pest management, and diversification, are crucial. Preserving wild pomegranate and Jamun demands habitat protection, restoration, and sustainable agriculture through agroforestry research, community engagement, and supportive policies. Integrating traditional knowledge with modern conservation ensures a comprehensive approach, actively preserving genetic diversity, ecological balance, and cultural relevance through multi-dimensional conservation efforts for Pomegranate and Jamun.

Published: January 2024

Cognition is a fundamental human capacity that can be enhanced via deliberate effort and focused attention. Periodically, different educational bodies and policies acknowledge the significance of fostering critical thinking skills among pupils. The NEP 2020 also prioritizes cultivating students' innovative capacities and more significant intellectual potential through education. The primary objective of this study is to present a distinctive teaching approach that facilitates the development of advanced cognitive abilities, such as parallel thinking, lateral thinking, innovative thinking, and analytical thinking among students. The Six Thinking Hats concept, developed by Edward De Bono, provides a pragmatic approach to implementing diverse tasks. Using six metaphorical hats of varying colors, one can investigate a variety of cognitive talents in a straightforward, interesting, and effective manner. Another essential objective of this method is to guide the cognitive process into six distinct domains, individually promoting and improving concentrated thought. It enables individuals to examine issues, choices, alternatives, and opportunities in a structured, precise, and analytical manner. The Six Thinking Hats technique is commonly employed in the corporate management sector due to its effectiveness in addressing conflicts and identifying the best options. Promoting outstanding thinking, collaboration, and interaction offers multiple benefits for pupils, educators, and administrators. This study thoroughly analyzes the Six Thinking Hats technique and its advantages in a learning environment.

Introduction: Stainless steel crowns are the best treatment option for restoring primary carious teeth. However maintaining good oral hygiene in children with crowns can be difficult. Plaque and calculus deposits in these teeth will damage the usual teeth nearby.

Materials and Methods: This study was done to determine the OHI score in children under the age group of 7-10 years with stainless steel crowns. Data was gathered from a private dental institution's patient record system, with gender and the inclusion criteria was patients with stainless steel crowns. The study was conducted between September 2020 and March 2021. 114 patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion requirements being included in the report. Chi square test and descriptive analysis was done.

Results: More than 50% of the children with stainless steel crowns had moderately good OHI scores. Girls had better oral hygiene scores compared to boys.

Discussion: Males generally visit the dentist less frequently than females, and seek oral therapy for an acute condition rather than disease prevention. Females have more positive views toward dental appointments, are more knowledgeable about oral health, and practice better oral hygiene than females.

Conclusion: Girls with stainless steel crowns had better oral hygiene scores compared to boys.
