Affective prosody would refer to the perception of the emotional state of a speaker based on the prosodic aspects of one’s speech. The affective prosody is often studied in individuals with right hemisphere damage or non-native speakers solely because the perception of affective prosody is localized to the right hemisphere and the non-native speakers are reliant on affective prosody as they are deprived of linguistic prosody. The current study was carried out with the aim of investigating if the affective prosody varies as a function of age. The study was carried out on two groups of non-native speakers of Malayalam of 8-12 years and 18-25 years respectively. Different sentence types were presented to these participants in auditory modality and the results showed that the performance of participants in the age range of 18-25 years performed better compared to individuals of the age-range 8-12 years showing that the development of affective prosody would show a developmental trend.
IMPERIALISM, THATCHERISM, AND RESISTANCE IN EDWARD BOND'S THE WOMAN: ACTING BACK TO THE CENTER
Authors: Poorshahidi Mahnaz
Published: May 2024

Edward Bond is one of the greatest dramatists of post-war period. During the 1970s, one dramatist who tried to inaugurate a form of historical drama, which used history as a means of representing political circumstances of contemporary Britain, was Edward Bond. In 1978, with The Woman, he seemed to have achieved his goal. He uses the history of the past to reveal the political, social and economic situation of his own time in order to make a change. Bond's The Woman is a critique and an attack on imperialism, neo-liberalism, and Thatcherism, but a revived version in the modern sense of the word. For this reason, I decided to work on The Woman to analyze how he criticizes his society and the imperialistic ideas dominant in western societies. As mentioned before, the main focus of this study is to read and interpret Bond's The Woman in the light of imperialism and see how colonized people, especially women, reject the imperial legacy by resistance and acting back to the center. The Woman contains numerous suggestions that Trojan War was an imperialist one which happened over economic interests and political competitions were at stake. Bond aims to have a deconstructive writing of the misogynist prejudgments and reveal that human civilizations and institutions collapsed due to imperialist and hegemonic political practices.

Podmetanje požara kao jedan od elemenata
gospodarskih operacija u kontekstu tajnih akcija
Authors: Batistić Ante , Bušić Jozo
Published: May 2024

U ovome radu autori nastoje dati kratak pregled utjecaja požara, odnosno podmetanja požara kao jednog od elemenata gospodarskih operacija u kontekstu tajnih akcija s posebnim naglaskom na pokazatelje za Republiku Hrvatsku i Sjedinjene Američke Države. Analizom znanstvene i stručne domaće i strane literature, relevantnih internetskih izvora te javno dostupnih državnih dokumenata (zakona, smjernica i strategija nacionalne sigurnosti), autori teorijski i praktično nastoje definirati utjecaj podmetanja požara na nacionalnu sigurnost, odnosno ekonomsku sigurnost određene zemlje koja je meta inicijatora tajne akcije. Također, u radu se problematizira pitanje povezanosti podmetanja požara i nacionalne sigurnosti kroz prizmu postojećih teorijskih definicija i pristupa nacionalnoj sigurnosti. Rad je usmjeren na detektiranje moguće poveznice između podmetanja požara kao dijela aktivnosti gospodarskih operacija u kontekstu tajnih akcija, ali nikako se ne mogu iznositi zaključci o njihovu stvarnom „utjecaju“ zbog nedostatka empirijskog istraživanja. S obzirom na neobrađenost predmetne tematike u hrvatskom znanstvenom prostoru, ovaj rad predstavlja određen iskorak u proučavanju zasebnih područja djelovanja unutar tajnih akcija te može poslužiti kao referentna točka za buduća istraživanja.
Re-Contextualizing Stage Politics: Interrogating Shakespeare’s Hamlet In Uruguay
Authors: Orlich Ileana Alexandra
Published: May 2024

For the spectator initiated in the political aspect of the Shakespearean theatre, Carlos Manuel Varela’s Interrogatorio en Elsinore proposes “a kind of extended palimpsest” of Hamlet that connects on stage a troubled, fictional Elsinore to the traumatic reality of Uruguay during the military junta. For the reader fascinated by comparative literary studies and implicated in the theatre world, Interrogatorio en Elsinore resonates with the Bulgarian playwright Nedjalko Iordanov’s the Murder of Gonzago by drawing from parallel extreme ideologies of neo-fascist and communist dictatorships and their institutionalized regime of terror. Both plays showcase the potential of the performance in Hamlet to underpin the role of the artist in the political landscape. Applied to Interrogatorio en Elsinore, such reflections lead the initiated spectator to conclude that Varela’s play proposes a Hamlet who connects on stage a troubled, fictional Elsinore to the traumatic reality of Uruguay.

Neste texto, a primeira autora apresenta suas escrevivências como criança e mulher negra da roça. Ela narra as vivências cotidianas de aprendizagens e a construção de saberes transmitidos por suas ancestrais. É possível identificar as perversidades que aparecem no decorrer da narrativa sobre cor, cabelo, estética, ruralidades, fala e costumes que foram atrelados às discriminações. A história entrelaça as aprendizagens na lavoura e na escola da roça e, nesta dinâmica, acontece um movimento de escrita de si (com rememoração e vivências identitárias): a escrita da vida e a vida escrita, uma escrevivência que não é só dela, mas que revela a história de tantas outras mulheres negras das roças do Brasil que, pelas trilhas da vida, encontraram a assunção de si para (re)existir. A narrativa foi construída a partir de uma conversa com intelectuais negras, cujas itinerâncias se conectam com a da primeira autora. Carolina de Jesus, Lélia Gonzalez, Glória Anzaldúa e Conceição Evaristo são as convidadas para esse diálogo. Sem a pretensão de concluir nenhuma das discussões, a primeira autora, como pesquisadora da área de educação e educadora, vive em movimento de aquilombação com professoras(es) de várias localidades do país e, principalmente, do sertão baiano, entrelaçando pertença, semeando acolhimentos, rememorando, narrando, existindo e escrevivendo.

Armor Damage On Groins Under Ship Wave Attack Using Field Data
Authors: MARES-NASARRE PATRICIA , MORALES-NÁPOLES OSWALDO , HOFLAND BAS , MELLING GREGOR
Published: May 2024

The severity of damages to riverine structures, such as groynes or revetments, across German estuaries has increased in the past years due to the increase in the ship-induced loads. However, few studies can be found in the literature focused on the damage of rock slopes under ship wave attack. In this study, the field data of a rock-armored groyne (lateral slope 1/4 and rocks with nominal diameter Dn50»12.6cm and high density ρs=3.7t/m3) tracked for a year by Melling et al. (2020) is analyzed; the field campaign began after the structure was rebuilt and finished when the structure already presented severe damage. During this field campaign, the incident ship-induced primary waves and water levels were recorded, and laser scans of the groyne armor were taken. Using those field laser scans, damage curves along the life of the structure were derived. Also, ship data from the AIS was retrieved. Then, each increment of the damage (increment of the dimensionless eroded area, ΔSe) was related to a ship-wave event and a passing ship. The most significant variable to describe ΔSe was found to be the primary wave height Hp, while the best explanatory variables for Hp were the partial blockage factor, the ship length and width and the relative velocity of the ship. The shape of the dependence between these variables is also analyzed by pairs using copula space. A clear tail dependence is observed between several pairs. For instance, the pair ΔSe and Hp presents upper tail dependence, meaning that the high values of ΔSe and Hp are more correlated than the smaller ones. This implies that models more complex than Gaussian copula, which is commonly used in Coastal Engineering applications, might be needed to model the probabilistic dependence between the variables.

Tsunami events are traditionally represented in the geological record by a sequence of fine-grained sediments, but increasingly coastal boulder deposits are being used as indicators of past tsunami events. The emplacement mechanism of many boulder deposits, however, is heavily debated and determining whether the inundation event was a tsunami or storm remains an unresolved challenge (Cox et al., 2020). Using physical experiments, we aim to achieve a better understanding of how tsunamis move coastal boulders. This knowledge will aid field geomorphologists in the identification of the emplacement mechanism for coastal boulder deposits and allow for the determination of wave parameters. In January 2023, physical experiments using the HR Wallingford Tsunami Simulator were completed as part of the MAKEWAVES collaboration. These experiments investigated the movement of a cuboid and irregular shaped boulder model when impacted by different tsunami waveforms on a plane beach. We propose new empirical formulae to describe relationships between transport distance and different tsunami waves.
Individual Wave Overtopping Volumes On Mound Breakwaters
Authors: MOLINES JORGE , RIPOLL ENRIQUE , GÓMEZ-MARTÍN M. ESTHER , MEDINA JOSEP R.
Published: May 2024

Mound breakwaters are widely used to protect harbors from wave attack. Wave overtopping is a key parameter on the breakwater design, since it affects the hydraulic stability, the port operativity and also generates risks to the facilities, vehicles and pedestrians. The estimation of the mean wave overtopping rate, q[m3/s/m], has been extensively analyzed in the literature (see EurOtop, 2018 and Van Gent et al., 2007). However, the maximum individual wave overtopping volume, Vmax [m3/m], can be much larger than q[m3/s/m] and it is a better variable to evaluate the direct hazards.
The prediction tools of q and Vmax are mainly based on laboratory tests, where q is registered much more easily than individual wave overtopping volumes. However, few of these studies detail the methodology to identify the number of overtopping waves and the associated individual wave overtopping volumes. The estimation of Vmax is usually made in literature (see Molines et al., 2019 and EurOtop, 2018) using a 2-parameter Weibull distribution (shape and scale factor) fitted with utility functions which consider the 10%, 30% or 50% of the highest individual wave overtopping volumes. The shape factor (b) is fitted with the laboratory measurements and the scale factor (A) is obtained by forcing the mean value of the Weibull distribution to be equal to the registered mean individual wave overtopping.
In this study, a fully automatic detection methodology of the individual wave overtopping waves and volumes is developed using 2D physical tests. The performance of the 2-parameter Weibull and Exponential distributions to estimate Vmax is analyzed here with four utility functions to weight the data, f(u). The full findings of this study are available in Molines et al.  (2019).
Characterization Of Very Low Frequency Wave Energy Distribution In A Coral Reef-Lagoon System
Authors: BELKADI MYRIAM , BOUCHETTE FREDERIC , FLOC’H FRANCE , TISSIER MARION , SOUS DAMIE
Published: May 2024

In a coral reef system, the reef barrier protects the lagoon from incoming ocean waves favoring the development of a relatively calm ecosystem in the middle of a much more energetic domain. Incident sea-swell waves (SS)  are filtered and transformed while passing over the reef ; and simultaneously long waves (with usually wave periods greater than 20 s in such a context) are generated. These long waves are important drivers for marine submersion along low-lying islands. Thus, for several years, the scientific community has increased its effort in the understanding of reef-lagoon wave energy spectral distribution. In particular, works have focused on the origin of infragravity waves (IG) classically observed in the frequency band [0.004 ; 0.04] Hz. It has been shown that IG are forced mainly by wave groups, either through the release of incoming bound waves or through the oscillation of the breaking point. Waves and IG overpassing the reef might also drive the emergence of much longer waves termed VLF (Very Low Frequency) waves, some of which being possibly resonant waves (Gawehn et al., 2016), a category of long waves that are still poorly understood in reef-lagoon context.
The aim of this study is to explore a set of pressure time series measured on a reef-lagoon system in French Polynesia in order to characterize the spatial, frequency and temporal distribution of  IG / VLF energy. An additional purpose is to create a methodology capable of identifying, in pressure time series, any type of long wave developing in the IG / VLF bands.
Vegetation Hydrodynamics To Inform Climate Mitigation And Adaptation
Authors: NEPF HEIDI
Published: May 2024

Coastal ecosystems, such as seagrass, provide many ecosystem services, including coastal protection and carbon sequestration, which make them an integral part of climate mitigation and adaptation (e.g., Fourqurean et al. 2012). Predicting the value of these ecosystem services requires an understanding of the interaction of fluid motion with vegetation. While seagrass meadows are recognized as global hotspots for carbon storage, the verification of seagrass carbon is complicated by significant heterogeneity. For example, Lavery et al. (2013) reported an 18-fold range in carbon stock across 17 different seagrass habitats (260 to 4800 g C m-2). This variability is a major source of uncertainty in assessing carbon stocks, motivating work to understand what drives it. Recent studies have highlighted how hydrodynamic conditions can be an important factor (e.g., Oreska et al. 2017, Novak et al, 2020). In this talk, we consider a combination of modeling and field measurement that explores the influence of wave and current conditions on carbon accretion in seagrass meadows.
SYSTEM DESIGN FOR CALCUALTING THE NUMBER AND DENSITY OF MOTORCYCLES IN PARKING AREA BASED ON BACKGROUND SUBTRACTION METHOD
Authors: Muhammad Yusuf Fadhlan  , Auliya Rahmawati  , Novita Lestari Anggreini
Published: May 2024

There are still issues with a number of students parking their vehicles improperly in the parking spaces provided. This causes suboptimal parking capacity due to a lack of information about parking capacity. In recent years, at a certain library, vehicle detection has been implemented using a Gaussian mixture model algorithm using a Raspberry Pi. However, this library does not provide information about the density status of the parking area. Therefore, an information system was created to determine the level of density of the parking area based on the ratio of vehicles entering and exiting compared to the maximum capacity of the parking area. The system uses the Gaussian mixture model algorithm with the machine learning method of background subtraction MOG2, which can calculate the number of vehicles based on the difference between objects and the background of objects, using test data in the form of videos recorded using a camera positioned horizontally to the entrance and exit lanes of the parking area. This research resulted in an accuracy of 89.7% for Video1TA, precision of 93.2%, a crowded parking area density level, and a value of 129.12. Video2TA had a value of 101.08, precision of 100%, and accuracy of 90%, while Video3TA had an accuracy of 35%, precision of 56.7%, and a value of 49.48. The density levels of videos 2 and 3 are the same, indicating that the parking area is still empty. The test results show that the value can affect the system in detecting an object.

Authors: Denton Stephen , Cairns Delaney , Marchese Gabrielle , Rich Adam , Jadcherla Aditya , Scott David , Dyer Jacob , Lundh Rebecca , Young Staci , Harrison Rachele
Published: May 2024

Background: The Saturday Clinic for the Uninsured (SCU) has an on-site dispensary that provides free medications to patients. Many patients request urgent refills when they run out leaving them without medications prior to their appointments. A prior study showed a reminder phone call can effectively assist with medication refills.1 However, little data exists for how to develop such a system at a free clinic. Our team implemented this methodology utilizing a system where patients were contacted before their medications ran out to arrange refills and analyzed its effectiveness.
Methods: All clinic patients receiving medications from the on-site dispensary had their expected refill date logged. Patients 3 weeks away from needing a refill had their chart reviewed to determine if they should be contacted. When indicated, patients were contacted one time via telephone by students to assess their needs and schedule refills. System outcomes were gathered over 18 weeks and analyzed to determine the number of potential medication gaps prevented and system success rate.
Results: 131 patient charts were reviewed for potential follow-up. 58 patients were contacted, of which 32 patients were reached and spoken with resulting in 32 refills scheduled. The system prevented 24.4% of potential medication gaps with a system success rate of 55.2%.
Conclusion: This system successfully reduced medication gaps among patients. The most and least effective methods for scheduling refills were by directly speaking with patients and leaving voicemails respectively. A trend observed was a decrease in urgent patient calls regarding medication gaps. Future directions include making multiple contact attempts, using multiple contact methods including texts and emails, and evaluating adherence.

Pure Legal Theory (The Pure Theory of Law) is a positive legal theory. However, it does not discuss positive Law that applies in a particular legal system; it only discusses general legal theory. Hans Kelsen's presentation of Pure Legal Theory aims to explain the nature of Law and methods of making Law rather than explaining what the Law should be or the best way for Law to be created. This writing uses descriptive legal research, in which the author uses a normative juridical research type using the Library Research data collection method. This research aims to determine how the legal certainty and protection of the parties in mediating the resolution of Sharia financial disputes, a comparison of progressive legal analysis of Hans Kelsen and Satjipto Raharjo's legal theory in resolving Sharia financial disputes.

Within legal certainty, there are positive laws and written laws. Normative legal certainty is when a regulation that regulates it clearly and logically is created and promulgated. Progressive Law wants to return the Law to the right track (on the right track). For this reason, Satjipto Rahardjo thinks that legal breakthroughs are needed (legal breakthroughs, not legal breaking) in law formation and enforcement.

These deviations which are accentuated by digitalization and driven by Information Communication Technology is radically changing the trajectory of human way of life with the aim of meeting some specific needs of the immediate society. Lately, and in the advent of fourth industrial revolution, AI has innovatively permeated almost every aspect of human endeavor with greater tendency of displacing mostly professionals in their various fields. Like many other endeavors and service providers, law and legal practice are not spared from the current inexplicable displacement which is an inevitable consequence of AI. This paper interrogates the readiness of legal practice and existing legal frameworks in Nigeria to match with the advancement championed by AI. Although AI is arguably not a very perfect innovation, the findings of this article reveal that there is dearth of relevant skills, expertise and inadequate legal framework to match the demands of the current waves. It therefore offers recommendations which suggest that AI and human would be seen to play complementary roles rather than AI being perceived as imminent threat to human roles.

Authors: Shrestha Sajeeb
Published: May 2024

This research study aims to examine consumer perceptions regarding the product influence matrix and its impact on purchase intentions among smartphone users in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. A descriptive and exploratory research design was employed, and data was collected through questionnaires distributed both in-person and online. The sample size of 412 respondents was determined using non-probability convenience sampling.  The results showed that compatibility, brand, product features, and social influence were positively perceived by consumers, with compatibility and brand being the most influential factors. However, purchase intention received a slightly lower mean score, suggesting that there might be other factors influencing consumers' purchase decisions. The correlation analysis revealed significant correlations between all the product influence factors and purchase intention. The multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the combination of compatibility, brand, product features, and social influence significantly predicted purchase intention, explaining approximately 65.4% of its variance. The findings suggest that building strong brands, emphasizing attractive product features, and leveraging social influence can positively impact consumers' purchase intentions. The study provides valuable insights for smartphone marketers in understanding and influencing consumer behaviour in the Kathmandu Valley market. However, further research is recommended to explore specific aspects of compatibility and identify additional factors that may influence consumer purchasing decisions in this context.
