Analysis of Recurrent Haemorrhage Against the Background of Taking Warfarin in a Female Patient of the Chuvash Population (a clinical case)
Authors: Georgieva Ksenia S. , Pavlova Svetlana I.
Published: November 2024

In order to prevent thromboembolic complications in atrial fibrillation in patients with prosthetic heart valves, Warfarin still remains a standard drug in real-life clinical practice. However, against the background of Warfarin therapy, haemorrhage is common; in some cases it can be fatal. The reason for this situation lies in a narrow therapeutic range and wide individual dosage variations of this drug. Among the factors determining the effectiveness and safety of Warfarin, modifiable (for example, drug interactions, bad habits) and non-modifiable (age, gender, genetic characteristics) ones are considered important. The authors of the paper analyzed possible causes of haemorrhage and difficulties with Warfarin dose finding and achievement of targets for international normalized ratio in a female patient who was passing treatment at the Budgetary Institution "Republican Cardiological Dispensary" under the Health Ministry of the Chuvash Republic. Patient K. (a female Chuvash, 68 years old), who received Warfarin for valvular atrial fibrillation, was repeatedly hospitalized (April 2023, August 2023) with signs of haemorrhage after self-medicating with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and Cephalosporin antibiotics. Among other factors predisposing to changes in sensitivity to Warfarin, the following were identified: old age, female gender, increased body mass index. However, the carrier state of polymorphism in CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genes that increase sensitivity to Warfarin were not diagnosed. Additional difficulties in achieving the targets of international normalized ratio could be associated with the replacement of the drug taken to Warfarin from another manufacturer. The analysis of recurrent cases of hypocoagulation and difficulties in achieving the target values of the international normalized ratio against the background of taking Warfarin did not reveal pharmacogenetic risk factors, but was most likely associated with low compliance, undesirable drug interactions and differences in the therapeutic equivalence of Warfarin drugs used. With the help of a regional medical information system, the patient's condition was updated, the data obtained indicate a possible risk of recurrent haemorrhage, which is probably due to a change in the manufacturer of Warfarin.

Authors: Vikulenko Yulia R. , Serebryakova Tatyana Yu.
Published: November 2024

To achieve sustainable development of the society, it is necessary to develop the methods determining the directions of transforming national and regional economies. The formation of such methods is relevant at the present stage of the economic development. In this regard, the search for adequate methods and the choice of key indicators that fully characterize the signs and size of sustainable development are required and they are of scientific and practical interest. The purpose of the paper is to study and substantiate the categories of stability and balance as the main characteristics of the sustainable development of regional economic systems. Materials and methods. The information base of the study was the scientific theories and findings of scientists on sustainable development and its assessment. General scientific methods of cognition were applied: comparison, abstraction, synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as modeling. Results of the study. The system of regional (national) economy was built in order to study sustainable development according to the UN concept and models that characterize the two sides of sustainable development: sustainability and balance. The relationship between sustainable development and balance was identified, which made it possible to determine the characteristics of sustainability and balance, as a cumulative property of sustainable development, according to the UN concept. Findings. The balance of the economy generates its stability, and stability is a consequence of balance. To assess the sustainable development of the society and the economy, it is necessary to study the mutual influence and the aggregate state of stability and balance of the economy at any of the levels under consideration.
Problems of Ensuring the Right to a Decent Life in Modern Russia
Authors: Semenova Inna Yu.
Published: November 2024

The 21stcentury is characterized by the processes of transformation of all spheres of public life. Of particular concern to the authorities and government, as well as to the general public are the issues of protecting the constitutional rights of Russians in connection with the growing threats of an international and domestic nature to the realization of the right to a decent life, including the limits of its implementation. The purpose of the study is to analyze the problems of realizing the right of Russians to a decent life as a primary social human right in the context of new globalization challenges of our time and the current state policy of preservation of people. The search for ways to effectively implement this fundamental right, which acts as a target for the social state, proves the relevance of the declared topic, and therefore the author's interest in it is fully justified. Materials and methods. Methodological tools are selected taking into account the proposed research topic. Scientific methods made it possible to characterize the right to a decent human existence as a philosophical and legal category. Private scientific methods made it possible to analyze the problematic aspects of the realization of the right to a decent life as a constitutional human right based on the disclosure of the essence of doctrinal provisions, basic international and Russian legal acts, and the practice of their application. Study results. The study suggests that the problem of the reality of human right to a decent life is the goal and task of the modern Russian state, primarily as a social one. In our country, within the framework of the implementation of the People's Preservation Strategy until 2050, a set of interconnected and interdependent measures is systematically being carried out, primarily of a socio-economic orientation, which, among other things, is aimed at improving the standard of living of Russians. Conclusions. The right to a worthy human existence since ancient times has been the object of historical and philosophical research. It has not lost its relevance in the 21stcentury. In modern Russia, there is an understanding and awareness of the fact that the problems of realizing the right to a decent life are a strategic vector of the national conservation policy pursued by the country's government. Head of the State V.V. Putin noted that saving the people of Russia is the highest national priority.
«THIS CITY IS FAMOUS FOR TANNERIES, SOAP FACTORIES AND GARDEN VEGETABLES…» (the main directions of Yaroslavl’s economic activity in foreign sources of the XVII century)
Authors: Agrafonov Peter G.
Published: November 2024

The relevance of the research is determined by recently increased interest in the late medieval history of Yaroslavl, as well as updating the approaches to the study of this topic. The article represents a review of the news of foreign authors concerning the economy of Yaroslavl in the XVII century. Among the sources considered in the work are trade and administrative documents, travellers’ notes, reports of foreign trade representatives, excerpts from scientific works. Not all the authors of the texts used visited Russia personally, but published materials of the foreign origin contain information that complements the image of the city’s economic life during this period.

The purpose of the study is a comprehensive characterization of the basic data presented in foreign sources of the XVII century and related to the main directions of the city’s economic life. The analysis of these data largely makes it possible to clarify the idea of the city’s economic situation and the directions of its economy development.

Materials and methods. Materials for the work – published during the XVII century foreign sources containing reports on the nature of crafts and handicraft, on trade operations. The research uses the method of comparative analysis, systematization, generalization; the principles of objectivity and historical specificity are observed.

Study results. The study analyzes information from foreign sources regarding the economy and development of Yaroslavl’s economic sectors during its “golden age”. The information provided in such publications is correlated with similar domestic materials. As a result of a comparative analysis of two groups of sources, the author makes a conclusion about the greatest development of the following types of economic activity – tanning industry, flax processing, handicraft metal products finishing, soap making, as well as processing of animal raw materials. On the basis of active development of these local crafts, their products were traded in large volumes – tanned leathers, linen fabrics, soap, metalware. Foreign trade developed rapidly, primarily with Sweden, Holland, England, as well as with the countries of the East. An important place in the trade turnover of Yaroslavl in the XVII century was also occupied by the intermediary trade in grain crops. A comparison of domestic and foreign sources gave us the opportunity to conclude that Yaroslavl was significant as a trade and craft center, which played an important role in the system of Russian trade of the XVII century.

Conclusions. Based on data generalization and a comparative analysis of the materials presented in the work, it can be concluded that the information content and historical representativeness of the sources under consideration significantly complement the characteristics of Yaroslavl economy during this period.
PETER PAZUKHIN: TEACHER, FOLKLORIST, OFFICER, PATRIOT
Authors: Leontiev Alexey P.
Published: November 2024

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in April 2024, 135 years passed since the birth of the teacher, collector of folklore, compiler of one of the first collections of Chuvash folk songs, officer of the Tsarist army P.V. Pazukhin. His life and work during the Soviet period are covered in many publications, but in some of them there are many obvious mistakes, myths (or legends) in favor of ideological leanings. There were no objective studies in the post-Soviet period.

The purpose of the study is to trace some stages in life path made by P.V. Pazukhin based on reliable documents.

Materials and methods. The research was based on materials published in various publications about P.V. Pazukhin, as well as newly identified documents stored in the Scientific Archive of the Chuvash State Institute of Humanities. The principles of historicism, objectivity and consistency were used, as well as research methods: factual, descriptive, analytical, problem-chronological ones.

Study results. Among the works about P.V. Pazukhin articles by journalists and freelance correspondents of Chuvash periodicals dominate, they often freely interpret some facts, and among professionals, we can note only a small fragment from the review material by musicologist and composer F.P. Pavlov about P.V. Pazukhin’s collection (1926) and a newspaper article by a famous Chuvash folklorist G. Yumart for the next anniversary date, who highly appreciate the work of the musical folklorist. Our article does not consider the lyrics of the songs, as this is the lot of folklorists. We identified inaccuracies and obvious errors in covering P.V. Pazukhin’s biography. Thus, it is proved that Pyotr Vasilyevich was a staunch supporter of progressive transformations in the life of his native people, but never engaged in revolutionary activities. He was not a front-line soldier during the entire period of service in the army, as some authors write, but he trained recruits in the rear, in addition, he studied at the school of warrant officers, only at the end of spring 1917 he voluntarily left “for positions”, as the front was then called. In addition, during 1914–1917 he was on vacation more than once, in particular, he lived in Simbirsk and, accordingly, visited relatives in the village of Polevoye Chekurovo in Buinsky uyezd of Simbirsk governorate.

Conclusions. Most of published materials about P.V. Pazukhin are subjective in nature with clearly expressed ideological stamps of the Soviet period. That is why, this article attempts to carry out an objective study of the life and work of a teacher, one of the first Chuvash musical folklorists, an officer of the Tsarist army. For the first time, materials from the Manuscript Collection of Professor N.V. Nikolsky and other funds of the Scientific Archive of the Chuvash State Institute of Humanities were introduced into scientific circulation.

Authors: Muñoz-López Alejandro , Marmol Diego , Sanchez-Sixto Alberto , Pozzo Marco , Floría Pablo
Published: November 2024

Este trabajo analizó el concepto de la máxima carga en flywheel (MLF) como un valor de máximo rendimiento dinámico en el ejercicio de media sentadilla en flywheel. Veinte personas físicamente activas participaron en este estudio. La carga de MLF fue calculada utilizando la relación exponencial de la aceleración-momento media de inercia angular concéntrica en el punto en el que la primera derivada era inferior a 1 unidad. La validez fue analizada estudiando la asociación entre el MLF y el rendimiento en sprint (velocidad máxima) y el salto (salto con contramovimiento, drop jump, saltos repetidos en 30”, stiffness vertical y el índice reactivo de fuerza). La fiabilidad del test-retest fue analizada después de la cuarta y octava sesión. El MFL mostró una asociación significativa de moderada a muy larga con la velocidad de sprint, altura de salto, el stiffness del drop jump, y el índice reactivo de fuerza. El análisis de test-retest reveló una excelente fiabilidad (coeficiente de correlación intraclase = 0,91) y buena fiabilidad absoluta (coeficiente de variación, tras cuatro (4,2%) y tras ocho (3,9%) sesiones de familiarización).

Published: November 2024

La obesidad es vinculada a una inflamación crónica que altera no sólo los marcadores inflamatorios sino también al sistema nervioso autonómico, estableciendo una predominancia simpática conduciendo a un riesgo cardiovascular. De esa manera el entrenamiento cardiovagal es reconocido un tratamiento que no sólo modifica la condición física sino también responde a regular el sistema autonómico y a los marcadores inflamatorios. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar los resultados de un entrenamiento cardiovagal de 8 semanas valorando la respuesta autonómica, inflamatorios y metabólicas en obesos. Un total de 28 participantes con obesidad fueron estratificados según su HOMA-IR, el grupo sin resistencia a la insulina (NIR) y grupo con resistencia a la insulina (IR). Los participantes se sometieron a un entrenamiento cardiovagal durante 8 semanas. Se consideraron variables metabólicas como la insulina, leptina, TNFa, IL6 y el índice HOMA-IR como también variables de la variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca (VFC). Los resultados muestran que en las diferencias de cambio entre el pre y post intervención de los marcadores inflamatorios representaron cambios favorables en IL10 (NIR -0,21 y IR -0,45 pg/ml) y en TNFa (NIR -0,23 y IR -0,51 pg/mL). Mientras que en la VFC sus diferencias de cambio fueron favorables (p=>0,005) SDNN (NIR 3,17 y IR 17,32 ms), RMSSD (NIR 11,45 y IR 23,27 ms) y en LF/HF ratio (NIR 0,74 y IR 2,25 Hz). Se concluye que después de 8 semanas de intervención, el entrenamiento cardiovagal en personas obesas con RI aumentó la modulación parasimpática y atenuó los marcadores inflamatorios.

Authors: De Oliveira Valeria Silva
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo apresenta brevemente como teorias de ensino/aprendizagem de língua inglesa (BROWN, 2015; HARMER, 2015; MYLES, 2013), estudos sobre (multi)letramentos (KALANTZIS; COPE, 2012) e uma teoria multimodal de representação e comunicação (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 1998, 2001, 2006; KRESS, 2003; RIBEIRO, 2021) nortearam o processo de elaboração de duas unidades didáticas desenvolvidas para contribuir para a aprendizagem de estudantes do nível superior que precisam aprender a língua inglesa para fins específicos. O público alvo são alunos adultos que precisam aprender a utilizar a língua inglesa no contexto da marinha mercante. Ambas unidades oferecem oportunidades para desenvolver as quatro habilidades da língua inglesa - ler, escrever, ouvir e falar - e sistemas - gramática, vocabulário, fonologia/pronúncia e discurso. As referidas unidades são acompanhadas por um Guia do Professor que contém orientações gerais incluindo os objetivos de ensino e aprendizagem e as respostas de cada atividade. Como reflexão final, destaca-se o número limitado de recursos didáticos disponíveis para o ensino de inglês marítimo no Brasil na atualidade e a necessidade de elaboração de mais materiais instrucionais com foco no ensino/aprendizagem de inglês para fins específicos para atender às necessidades do público-alvo de acordo com suas respectivas áreas de atuação: Ciências Náuticas (Área de Náutica) e Ciências Náuticas (Área de Máquinas).

Published: November 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a manifestação do significado composicional em charge e tira de temática ambiental. Esta análise segue os desdobramentos da Semiótica Social: a abordagem multimodal (Kress; van Leeuwen, 2001) e a Gramática do Design Visual (Kress; van Leeuwen, 2006, 2021). A pesquisa é de caráter descritivo-analítico de natureza qualitativa. Para a análise, que ocorreu por meio das categorias fundamentais da metafunção composicional: valor da informação, enquadramento (framing) e saliência, selecionamos uma charge intitulada “Oferendas”, de Carlos Iotti, e uma tira intitulada “Problemas ambientais”, de Carlos Ruas. A charge e a tira representam a realidade social do meio ambiente, cujas publicações em ambientes virtuais como o Blog, por exemplo, são realizações materiais desses discursos que denunciam e apontam os problemas ambientais que afetam o Brasil. Esses discursos constroem-se de modo composicional pelo uso das linguagens verbal e não verbal, mas a construção do discurso se faz, principalmente, nesses textos, pelo discurso multissemiótico visual.

Farmers Empowerment Through Rice Production Improvement Program By The Food Security And Agriculture Service Of Kubu Raya District, West Kalimantan Province
Authors: Hamid Hendrawati , Azmi Khairul
Published: November 2024

Rice production in Kubu Raya Regency continues to decline from year to year, one of the causes is the less than optimal empowerment of farmers by the Food Security and Agriculture Service of Kubu Raya Regency. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze farmer empowerment through a rice production increase program by the Food Security and Agriculture Service of Kubu Raya Regency, as well as to identify inhibiting factors and efforts made to optimize it. The method used is qualitative descriptive, data collection techniques are semi-structured interviews with purposive sampling and supported by passive participant observation and documentation. The results of the study indicate that farmer empowerment through a rice production increase program by the Food Security and Agriculture Service (DKPP) of Kubu Raya Regency is seen in 3 (three) dimensions, namely enabling, strengthening, and supporting. From these three dimensions, it was found that farmer empowerment through a rice production increase program by the DKPP was quite good, but still not optimal. This can be seen from the distribution and participation of farmers in financial services that have not been maximized, as well as the lack of agricultural extension workers in the field. The obstacles to this empowerment include the low level of farmer economy, low Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP) for food crops, uncertain climate and weather conditions, difficult to reach geographical conditions, and limited budget owned by the agency. The efforts that have been made by the agency include providing direct training and counseling to farmers, education on rice cultivation through seminars, maximizing the provision of assistance that can reduce farmer production costs, maximizing assistance to farmers, maximizing the role of field agricultural extension workers to provide direct counseling to farmers, organizing seminars and training, and allocating budgets according to established priorities.

In this regard, the benefits of adopting a code of conduct in the field of recruitment are examined and the need to manage the specific ethical risks associated with recruitment procedures is addressed. The importance of ethical codes and integrity systems is highlighted as a strategy to mitigate these ethical risks, and the common barriers that we may encounter in the effective implementation of said systems are identified.
Bureaucratic Reform Acceleration of The Ministry of Religious Affairs Through Organizational Cultural Development
Authors: Haji Rusno , Purwanti Rini
Published: November 2024

The evaluation of bureaucratic reform in the Ministry of Religious Affairs shows that its implementation has not yet shown significant progress, its application has not been evenly distributed throughout all work units and still needs to be improved. One of the reasons for the slow pace of bureaucratic reform in the   Ministry of Religious Affairs is a lack of supportive organizational culture. This study aims to measure the Ministry of Religious Affairs' organizational culture development using the mixed method with a sequential explanation. Quantitative data analysis uses descriptive statistics and multivariate Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) statistics, while qualitative data analysis uses root cause analysis with the fishbone analysis method. The results showed that the level of internalization of organizational values and work culture in the Ministry of Religious Affairs has become espoused values and beliefs but has not yet become an underlying assumption. The implementation of bureaucratic reform in the Central is still not a massive and systemic movement. This is because the Basic Values of the Ministry of   Religious Affairs as the basis for ASN behavior and code of ethics have not been well socialized. In addition, the formulation of Basic Values as a reference in bureaucratic reform is still overlapping and difficult to understand. Thus, a Grand Design of the cultural development program is needed to accelerate Bureaucratic Reform in the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Published: November 2024

This research aims to investigate the role of teachers in educational leadership. The method employed is qualitative, specifically descriptive, utilizing data sources from the Islamic Schools Headmasters and teachers. Data collection techniques include observation and interviews. Data analysis involves data reduction, data presentation, and sequential conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that: 1) Teachers' understanding of educational leadership influences their roles and interactions at MI Manggarupi. Teachers with a strong understanding tend to be more effective in enhancing learning quality, motivating students, fostering positive relationships, and collaborating with the school. 2) A harmonious relationship between teachers and the Islamic school Headmaster plays a crucial role in the teachers' position within educational leadership. The teachers' leadership position is reinforced through active involvement in decision-making and professional development programs. 3) Teacher involvement in decision-making at Islamic schools reflects their position within educational leadership. The implications of this research are: 1) It is imperative to enhance teachers' understanding of educational leadership. 2) There should be a strengthening of the relationship between teachers and the Islamic school's Headmaster to achieve effective cooperation, thereby ensuring each teacher holds a leadership position. 3) Teachers should be involved in decision-making within the Islamic schools' programs, which can improve trust and motivation among teachers and strengthen their position within educational leadership
MOLECULAR CLONING AND QUANTITATIVE mRNA EXPRESSION OF sox9 GENE IN GONADAL DEVELOPMENTAL PERIOD OF HYPOATHERINA TSURUGAE
Authors: Bej Dilip Kumar
Published: November 2024

Sox9 is a transcription factor of high mobility group (HMG) box family DNA binding domain. It plays a crucial role in gonadogenesis during embryonic developmental period. 1454 bp of sox9 mRNA transcript of Hypoatherina tsurugae (D. S. Jordan & Starks) was cloned and sequenced. It consists of an open reading frame (ORF) of 1436 bp, that encodes a 479 aa protein, found to be identical to the HMG box of other fish species. A phylogenetic tree was constructed by comparing the mRNA sequence of 50 different fishes across various taxa available in the NCBI database and using as outgroup Acipenser sinensis. The tree shows a high homology of sox9 from H. tsurugae with that from Maelanotaenia boesemani, the two forming a single clade. The expression of sox9 was studied in amhy+ (male) individuals. It begins from baseline at 0 wah (week after hatching) and is expressed in an increasing fashion. In amhy- (female) individuals it is highly expressed at initial stage (0 wah) and the expression reaches its peak at 2 wah then declines, indicating the low expression needed for differentiation of the female sex organs. The histological sections of gonads were studied in different stages of biweekly collected larvae during the sex determination/differentiation period and it showed that differentiation of gonads male/female is decided at 6 wah. In this stage the primary oocytes are clearly recognized and it correlates with the expression of sox9 genes. These finding add to the knowledge for a better understanding of molecular mechanisms of sex determination and differentiation period in fishes.

Tithing system was an ancient and widespread practice among the Hebrews, but it is also found in religions and cultures of the Semitic people. The major recipients of tithes according to the priestly code were the Levites and the priests (Num. 18:21-32). The Deuteronomic code included the foreigners, fatherless and the widows (Deut. 14:22-29). The contemporary Nigeria society is faced with people living in abject poverty with no means of surviving. Ironically, there is the clamouring by church leaders for strict observance of tithe payment by the adherents with absolute sincerity. The usage and purpose of tithes in the Old Testament especially in the chosen texts, which involved or rendering help to the poor; hospitality to strangers and care for the needy has been jettisoned. Therefore, this study with the use of Exegetical and Descriptive methods delves into measuring the standard for the collection of tithes and the meaningful utilization of it to help in the nation building of the country. The research would then serve as model for the church leaders to see the fact that tithes are not only for them but for humanity.
Difficulties in the Process of Protecting the Brazilian Amazon Region
Authors: Ampolini Geverson
Published: November 2024

This study addresses deforestation in the Amazon as one of the greatest environmental challenges in Brazil and the world, highlighting its causes, impacts, and possible solutions. In addition to being an important climate regulator and one of the largest reservoirs of biodiversity on the planet, the Amazon faces a continuous process of degradation, driven by activities such as livestock farming, agriculture, and mining. The central problem lies in the difficulty of reconciling economic development and environmental preservation, aggravated by the fragility of public policies, land conflicts, and international pressures for commodities. Deforestation compromises both local sustainability and global climate balance, requiring an integrated and urgent response. The main objective of this study is to understand how public policies and historical and contemporary economic practices influence deforestation in the Amazon and impact the environment and local populations. The research adopts a qualitative approach and content analysis based on Bardin (1977), using bibliographic and documentary sources, including reports from INPE and IBAMA. The results show that deforestation is the result of agricultural expansion, mining and ineffective policies, and in addition to affecting biodiversity and the climate, it generates social and economic conflicts. Weak monitoring has worsened the situation, requiring integrated actions between governments, society and the international community to curb degradation and promote sustainability.
The Role of Environmental Costs on the Relationship Between Good Corporate Governance and Firm Value During Covid-19 Conditions

Published: November 2024

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of corporate governance on the valuation during covid 19 conditions and role of environmental expenditures on the relationship. This study employed purposive sampling to select publicly traded companies from the LQ45 index list spanning the years 2018 to 2022. The data was examined by panel data modelling with the Weighted Least Square technique. The evaluation of good corporate governance is conducted through the utilisation of a score derived from the corporate governance perception index, whereas the assessment of business value is accomplished by employing the Tobin's Q ratio. The moderating variable of environmental costs is assessed by considering the costs associated with Corporate Social Responsibility programs. The results indicated that good corporate governance exerts a negative influence on the value of firms during covid-19 conditions. The present study did not achieve success in establishing the moderating effect of environmental costs on the association between good corporate governance and firm value. The present study provides several implications for corporate governance practitioners in managing companies during crisis and also investors in formulating future investment decisions.

A Novel Circular Ring Microstrip Patch Antenna for Bandwidth Enhancement and Harmonic Suppression
Authors: Bhole Pravin Ravindra , Deore Pramod Jagan
Published: November 2024

The study presented aims to design a new patch antenna with improved bandwidth and effective rejection of spurious modes and harmonics. This design contains two λ/4 resonators that are closely connected to a circular ring patch. The proposed antenna exhibits wide bandwidth due to dual resonances created by means of a novel ring-shaped radiating patch with a decagonal-shaped inner ring and non-radiating λ/4-length resonators. The decagonal shape's unique geometry optimizes electromagnetic field distribution, enhancing control over radiation patterns and impedance matching. This design choice distinguishes the antenna from traditional circular patch antennas, as it effectively addresses the challenge of spurious modes and harmonics. This dual-resonance patch antenna design is distinctive because it does not require an electrically thick substrate. The resonators and the proximity feeding system are essential in efficiently minimizing the emission of harmonic radiating modes. This decrease is important for today’s requirements for the level of integration with various types of communication systems. A prototype antenna was designed and fabricated to work at 2.4 GHz. The simulated and measured results of the designed and fabricated antenna show that the antenna’s bandwidth is seven times greater than that of a traditional circular patch antenna. Additionally, it efficiently reduces the emission of unwanted radiation from higher-order modes. This antenna will be utilized in devices designed for the purpose of capturing RF energy and wireless power transfer.

Published: November 2024

The significance of happiness in the realm of national development cannot be underestimated. While economic growth and material progress remain essential markers of a nation's advancement, the overall happiness and well-being of its citizens play a pivotal role in achieving sustainable development. This research study probes into the complex relationships among a wide spectrum of socio-economic, environmental, and psychological factors, exploring their collective influence on individual and societal happiness within the broader context of sustainable development. Aim of this study is to focus on the level of influence due to different factors such as economic factors like GDP and social factors like corruption levels, generosity, freedom indices, and life expectancy across different parts of the globe. The study will emphasis on the detection of happiness and well-being within the context of sustainable development by applying different multidisciplinary approaches and quantitative techniques. The findings will further uncover that while numerous factors significantly influence happiness and well-being, generosity will emerge as a variable that does not have statistically significant influence on happiness degrees. The findings in this paper will provide valuable guidance for researchers and policymakers who are working for improving overall quality of life for individuals and societies across the world in order to have sustainable development.
