The train is one of the leading transportation modes favored by the Indonesian people. Frequently, overcrowding occurs, disrupting passenger circulation and resulting in suboptimal use of facilities. The distance between the parking area and the platform and the ineffective station layout often lead to difficulties during scheduled intercity train arrivals and departures. The situation of overloaded stations with suboptimal passenger circulation creates a crowded and chaotic atmosphere. When the schedules of intercity train arrivals and departures are close, passengers find it challenging to access the station, from the parking area to the platform. The ineffective station layout in its respective functions affects the visibility and accessibility of passengers, leading to cross circulation. This research aims to verify and understand how visibility and accessibility in the planned spatial layout at Gambir Station can accommodate passenger circulation issues through a new spatial configuration that facilitates passenger access. It requires a layout plan that allows passengers to access different spaces, considering spatial configurations that facilitate passenger movement within the station. To achieve this goal, evaluations are conducted for both the old and new layouts by analyzing visibility and accessibility. The research uses a mixed methods approach, starting with observation and data processing through the depthmapX application, which will be analyzed. The research results show that by considering the visibility and accessibility of passenger activities through the description of depthmapX results, we can determine better and more organized passenger movement directions when engaging in activities at the station.

Wellens syndrome is an electric pattern highly specific of critical stenosis of the proximal LAD. It’s defined by abnormalities of T waves in V2-V3 : type 1 (biphasic T waves), type 2 (negative T waves). Wellens also does not show signs of infarction by definition. Our work is about a young man of 33 yo who accused quickly resolving chest pain. His EKG showed biphasic T waves in V2 V3 V4 and V5 and negative T waves in DI aVL with 0,3mm ST suspension. His T waves kept changing: disappearing in V5 and becoming less negative in other derivations. The cardiac catheterization showed tight lesion of the ostium of proximal LAD artery with a high thrombotic load. Patient was put under glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors and taken back to the cath-lab 1 week after for PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) which was successful. First we want to discuss electrical findings. T waves inversion extended to V4 V5, which is uncommon. We have also to put forward the abnormalities we found in high lateral territory. Other particularity of our patient is the dynamic EKG showing he was threatening. Furthermore, definitive treatment typically involves cardiac catheterization with PCI to relieve the occlusion and there’s no place for stress tests. Wellens syndrome is a real challenge, which is underdiagnosed and needs more attention from emergency physicians. The interest of thrombolysis in this pre-infarction condition still needs to be substantiated.
ROLE OF PANCHAYATI RAJ INSTITUTIONS TOWARDS RURAL DEVELOPMENT: A STUDY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PULWAMA DISTRICT OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR
Authors: Sheikh Younis
Published: August 2023

Lot of rural development programmes were carried out by panchayat raj institutions in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir from time to time in order to develop the rural area. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir assures people’s participation in developmental activities and in the local governance institutions with adequate gender, class and caste representation as per the need of the amendment package. But, the level of people’s participation in developmental activities at grassroots level seems to be very low. Moreover, gram panchayats are not adequately accountable to gram Sabha. The idea of participation, as an important part of panchayat raj, has rarely been observed in practice. Against this backdrop, the study is designed to investigate the panchayat representatives in order to understand their role towards implementation of various rural development programmes. An attempt has also been made to fully understand the role of Gram Sabha in panchayati raj system and rural development. A structured interview schedule was administrated for this purpose. Besides, informal discussions and field observations also proved to be helpful in providing inputs to strengthen the arguments in analysis.

Authors: Bhatt Hiral , Pandya Mayuri
Published: August 2023

Gujarat is regarded as one of the world's economic centers, and as such, all of its sectors should be promoted. Energy is one of the sectors that is regarded as the foundation for the overall development. Since two to three decades ago, the amount of coal consumed to produce adequate electricity has increased proportionately, leading to an increase in carbon emissions (CO2). Gujarat is one of the states with excess energy supply and benefits from a 1600-kilometer coastline. Gujarat has one of the highest per capita energy consumption rates among many Asian countries and states. Because of the volume of carbon emissions, there has been an increase in the demand for modern technology and development. The Gujarat government has implemented a wide range of programmes and policies to address the issue of renewable resources and the associated environmental risk. Here, the researcher had examined a number of programmes and strategies for the use of renewable energy sources by the state. The researcher has also examined how various programmes and policies have affected environmental risk and how those programmes and policies relate to Indian government environmental policy. The inexperienced passageway project of the Indian government and the numerous concerns for climate change are also highlighted in this paper. The major goal of this research is to see if Gujarat Government can reduce carbon emissions and increase use of renewable resources. Here, the researcher has analyzed data for the years 2010 to 2020 using secondary data and tabulation techniques.

Authors: Parmar Felisa , George Linz-Buoy , Highland Hyacinth
Published: August 2023

Objective: The aim of this study is to observe the apoptosis of ALSTONIA SCHOLARIS (L.) R.Br.  against Daudi cells and to study its primary mechanism.
Materials and Methods: Antiproliferative activity of cultured Daudi cells was evaluated using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay in a dose- and time-dependent manner after treatment with the hydroalcoholic extract of A. scholaris. Trypan blue viability assay was also performed. Apoptosis induction in the cells post treatment was determined by DNA fragmentation assay, Agarose gel electrophoresis, and Acridine orange/Ethidium bromide dual staining. Protein isolation and analysis was carried out using the standard polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis protocols.
Results: The extracts inhibited the growth and proliferation of Daudi cells through induced cell death, which was dose-dependent and time-dependent. The IC50 value was found to be 260 µg/ml after 72 h of treatment. The induction of DNA fragmentation and increase in a number of apoptotic ells post treatment suggest the possibility of apoptosis induction. A significant decrease in protein level was also observed.
Conclusion: The results raise the possibility that the hydroalcoholic extract of A. scholaris could be a potent chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of various cancers. Further evaluation of its potency as a chemotherapeutic agent is imperative.

Leading people on foot to the police headquarters
Authors: Badara Adrian Daniel
Published: August 2023

Driving to the police headquarters is carried out when it is necessary for the detected person to be brought to the police headquarters for certain measures that must be taken to solve certain police procedures. Also, driving to the police headquarters is justified, as a decision to protect the person, when taking legal measures, on the spot, could create a danger for it or for public order. Since driving at the police headquarters affects individual freedom, the obligation of the police officer to report on the application of this measure is established. Police officers carry out driving at the police headquarters, by accompanying people, in order to take legal measures. The verification of the situation of these categories of persons and the taking of legal measures, as the case may be, is carried out in no more than 24 hours. If the policeman acts alone, he asks for the support of the citizens, whom he informs about what they have to do, so that this police measure can be successfully carried out. This procedure does not exclude or limit the obligation of the personnel involved in these activities to comply with and comply with the normative acts/provisions in force, as well as the provisions of the Organization and Operation Regulation and the Job Description.
Pre-trial detention. Motion for pre-trial detention
Authors: Gaman Teodora
Published: August 2023

The crime is the most serious antisocial act that entails the application of criminal law and sanctions specific to criminal law, thus occupying a special place within the field of violations of the norms of behavior established by law. The repressive action of public authorities to restore the rule of law is and must be conditional and clearly delineated, ensuring that individual freedom is protected and that no innocent person is affected. Justice has the role of deciding situations arising from the violation of laws since ancient times. For social life to be conducted in accordance with the rules, it is essential to have a competent authority that knows, interprets and applies them when they are breached. To this end, several procedural safeguards have been put in place to ensure the smooth conduct of the criminal proceedings. Pre-trial detention is the preventive procedural measure referring to the deprivation of liberty of an individual, before the final resolution of a criminal case, in order to conduct the criminal proceedings in good conditions or to prevent the defendant or suspect from absconding from criminal prosecution, trial or execution of the sentence. As it represents a significant restriction of personal liberty during criminal proceedings, pre-trial detention may only be ordered by a magistrate and the magistrate's powers shall be exercised only in accordance with the law. Pre-trial detention is also ordered only in certain circumstances, such as when there is a well-founded suspicion based on evidence that the person concerned has committed a criminal offence, or when it is established that the accused has absconded from trial or is in hiding, or when the actions of the accused give rise to a suspicion that he/she:  steal, degrade, destroy or falsify material evidence; unlawfully influence co-defendants, witnesses or experts, or induce others to do so, thereby making it difficult to establish the truth.

Published: August 2023

This literature review delves into the relationship between capital structure decisions, dividend policy, and their impact on stock prices. By analyzing existing studies, it is evident that both factors play a crucial role in influencing the stock prices of companies. Some studies indicate that the equity ratio, gearing, and debt ratio do not significantly affect stock prices, emphasizing the need for a thoughtful and balanced approach to capital structure. Furthermore, the study highlights the significance of dividend per share. Consequently, companies should consider implementing a consistent and appealing dividend policy that aligns with their financial performance to positively influence stock performance and retain investor confidence.
Automatic Modulation Recognition Based on a New Deep K-SVD Denoising Algorithm
Authors: Li Yanhe , He Xingxing , Zhou Chun
Published: August 2023

Automatic modulation recognition (AMR) has a wide range of applications in wireless communication. To solve the problem that the previous methods convert signal modulation recognition into image recognition, leading to increased time costs and information loss, an AMR approach consisting of the improved deep singular value decomposition (K-SVD) denoising algorithm is suggested. First, the effectiveness of the model for random sine wave denoising is demonstrated by simulation. Second, the original I/Q signals are fed into the modified deep K-SVD model for denoising, skipping the complicated image processing steps. Finally, the noise-reduced signals are input into a multi-channel convolutional long short-term neural network to complete the modulation recognition. To solve the slow convergence problem of iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithms in sparse coding, the fast iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithm is adopted to improve the computational efficiency and obtain a better denoising effect. The experiments show that the improved model has an average recognition accuracy of 91.26% at different signal-to-noise ratio (SNRs) from −2 dB to 18 dB, which is better than the state-of-the-art modulation recognition models.

Authors: Meliani Paulo Fernando , De Oliveira Francisco Henrique , Cararo Lazaro Julia
Published: August 2023

A difusão territorial do SARS-CoV-2 em Santa Catarina (SC), foi elaborada por meio do mapeamento mensal da distribuição espacial, por município, dos casos confirmados e dos óbitos decorrentes de COVID-19, no primeiro ano de pandemia no Estado. Em um Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG), os dados mensais de casos confirmados e de óbitos compuseram a base alfanumérica e foram espacializados à uma base cartográfica representando os municípios de Santa Catarina, na qual a distribuição espacial da doença foi analisada de modo sistemático e temporal. O estudo analisou ainda as variações mensais nos padrões de distribuição espacial do novo coronavírus em Santa Catarina, por meio da dinâmica das expansões e retrações mensais dos números de casos confirmados e óbitos ocorridos por COVID-19. A dinâmica das variações mensais da distribuição espacial da doença permitiu reconhecer que a difusão do SARS-CoV-2 em Santa Catarina, no primeiro ano de pandemia, iniciou pelo litoral do Estado, logo se interiorizou, apresentou meses de expansão e retração viral, mas se intensificou em março de 2021. A cartografia temática temporal se mostrou eficiente como meio adicional as planilhas geradas pelos levantamentos sistemáticos dos dados de ocorrência em cada município catarinense. Tornou-se ainda apoio fundamental à disseminação do estágio de difusão territorial do fenômeno para os cidadãos, que somada as políticas de mitigação, apresentada pelos gestores públicos, determinaram em diferentes momentos novas regras de restrição, isolamento ou permissão de atividades sociais.
Capitalismo de desastre à brasileira: revolução cultural, melancolização e apoio popular à Jair Bolsonaro
Authors: Henschel de Lima Claudia , Alves Junior Antonio José
Published: August 2023

O artigo parte da seguinte pergunta: quais são as razões que fazem com que o impacto do desastre favoreça a implantação das reformas neoliberais, tanto por meio da falta de resistência, como por meio do apoio popular? Com base no conceito de capitalismo de desastre, demarcamos o neoliberalismo situando como um programa político e de constituição de racionalidade. Situamos o governo Bolsonaro nesse quadro conceitual deixando evidente o limite da denominação capitalismo de desastre para responder à pergunta do artigo. Daí a formulação da hipótese de melancolização com base na psicanálise freudiana. Sendo um processo subjetivo, a melancolização é uma chave valiosa para compreender como o programa político do neoliberalismo, com seu conjunto de reformas antipopulares que desmantelam o Estado e sobrecarregam o povo, pode ser desejado por parte expressiva da população.

The article is structured in four parts. The first references André Bazin’s celebrated essay on Robert Bresson’s Diary of a Country Priest, bringing it to bear on a discussion of the unorthodox relation between Jude’s film and its literary sources. The second section of the article discusses Jude’s decision to foreground the protagonist’s—and the novelist’s—Jewish identity. Set far from home, in France, in an isolated sanatorium for tuberculosis, Blecher’s novel was unconcerned with public events such as the rise of the anti-Semitic far right all over Europe; they didn’t intrude—not even as background noise. Transposing the story to a Romanian sanatorium, Jude decided to have the young Jewish protagonist go through his experiences with terminal sickness and literature, with love and friendship, against an implied background of rising anti-Semitism, of increasingly widespread support for the local Iron Guard, as well as for Hitler. In its third section, the article discusses Radu Jude’s approach to period drama, analyzing his mix of period detail and anachronism. The fourth section discusses Jude’s intermedial game-playing and general artistic playfulness.
Rescrieri feminine ale Odiseei (1) Margaret Atwood, Penelopiada
Authors: Ciocârlie Alexandra
Published: August 2023

Margaret Atwood in The Penelopiad, a modern rewriting of the mythical story, imagines Odysseus’ tale from the perspective of Penelope. In afterlife, the shadow of the heroine is recalling her life focusing on the relationship with her illustrious husband. Dissatisfied with the Homeric version of the events, she is claiming the right to speak in order to reject her presentation from the epic poem and also the gossip about her infidelity. Her narrative reconstitution reveals the ins and outs of the legends and brings into light a more complex appearance of a woman which is famous only as an exemplary wife. Keywords: epic poem, modern novel, rewriting, feminine perspective.
Adapting to Survive: Postcolonial Studies Today and the Emergence of the Interimperial Reading Method
Authors: Chiorean Maria
Published: August 2023

This paper discusses Manuela Boatcă and Anca Parvulescu’s recent volume, Creolizing the Modern, in relation to the debates surrounding the adequacy of the postcolonial framework for the analysis of East European and, more specifically, Romanian literature. It argues that the authors manage to signal, introduce and put into practice some of the most important methodological updates in the fields of postcolonialism, dependency studies and World Literature. Through a discussion of each of these milestones, Boatcă and Parvulescu’s inter-imperial reading method is shown to provide a highly rigorous and productive world-systemic perspective on modern canonical literature.
Inter-imperiality: A Political Economy Reading
Authors: Ban Cornel
Published: August 2023

The concepts of “creolization” and “inter-imperiality” proposed in Anca Parvulescu and Manuela Boatcă’s Creolizing the Modern are superb interventions in the study of society in Europe’s semi-peripheries. These concepts usefully complicate conventional readings in orthodox, decolonial and postcolonial studies at both the conceptual and methodological level. From a historically-minded political economy approach, the book is an opportunity to ask further questions about the scope of inter-imperiality in early 20th century Transylvania, the paucity of analysis of the British-managed Gold Standard finance in shaping the political economy of late Habsburg Transylvania and the ambiguous foundations of ethnic and class relations in this part of Europe.
New Scales for Regional Studies in Creolizing the Modern: Transylvania across Empires
Authors: Balázs Imre József
Published: August 2023

This review article tries to formulate some general remarks about the most innovative elements of Creolizing the Modern: Transylvania across Empires, published by Anca Parvulescu and Manuela Boatcă in 2022 at Cornell University Press, findings that most probably will open up for future research new directions in conceptualizing Transylvanian identities. It also tries to identify some of the problematic aspects of the overview offered by the volume. ‘Worlding’ Transylvania is a double-edged strategy that may edit out nuances that could be important for local communities.
Rebreanu, creatorul reprezentării literare mic-burgheze a țărănimii
Authors: Rogozanu Costi
Published: August 2023

Anca Parvulescu and Manuela Boatcă’s Creolizing the Modern: Transylvania Across Empires provides a restructured reading grille for the canonical novel Ion by modernist-realist Romanian writer Liviu Rebreanu. Overall, the inter-imperial theoretical frame and method put forth by Parvulescu and Boatcă is fit to the task of decoding relevant aspects of the social representations of the peasantry in late Habsburg Transylvania. However, there are good reasons to suggest that “peripheral realism” would have been a more effective analytical tool. While some of the claims of the book have been discussed by literary critics at the time of publication of the novel, a re-reading of the novel in inter-imperial context lends those claims the comparative dimension that was conspicuously absent in the literary analysis of the novel following its publication.
Despre code-switching în literaturile scrise în limbi periferice. Multilingvism și strategii discursive în romanul românesc din secolul al XIX-lea
Authors: Morariu David
Published: August 2023

My study aims to address the phenomenon of literary multilingualism in the nineteenth-century Romanian novel. Based on Johan Heilbron’s approach on “translations as a cultural world-system” and his classification into hyper-central, central, semi-peripheral and peripheral languages, my analysis discusses the nineteenth-century Romanian language at an early stage of its consolidation and thus in self-colonial and anti-colonial relations to the “hegemony” of the French language. Taking advantage of this framework, I consider that the majority of literary code-switching examples faithfully render these linguistic relations, so my study proposes a classification of literary multilingualism into the following possible categories: a livresque multilingualism, which satisfies the self-colonial tendencies of the nineteenth-century language, a latent multilingualism, which can also be associated with an attempt at linguistic bovarisation, but also with the search for authenticity in novels through suggestion and “explicit attribution” (Meir Sternberg), a thesistic multilingualism, in such cases where the novel didactically presents foreign language insertions, and a functional multilingualism. Finally, my paper also launches a discussion of another type of multilingualism, that as a source for “defamiliarization”, which I expect to find in the Romanian novel of the twentieth century, when the Romanian language is no longer in danger of self-colonization and passes by the incipient stage, the phenomenon of code-switching serving Viktor Shklovsky’s technique of “defamiliarization”.

Este postumanismul un metamodernism? Convergențe și divergențe în poezia română contemporană
Authors: Vișan Bogdan
Published: August 2023

Romanian criticism has tended to use generational framing to delineate the boundaries of local poetic paradigms, which has also been the case for the Generation 2000 and Generation post-2000. If in the 1980’s a discussion about a Romanian postmodernism was put into debate, in 2018 the question regarding the emergence of a Romanian poetry metamodernism arises. In this context, I intend to trace in this paper the nuances of generational debates in order to outline to what extent this methodology succeeds in describing the mutations and the characteristics of recent poetry. With the posthuman turn and the possibilities for the emergence of metamodernism being debated, my paper addresses, on the one hand, the viability of metamodernism in recent poetry, and, on the other, possible points of conjunctions of posthumanism and metamodernism. The posthuman turn encompasses the post-2000 generation, while local discussions have also proposed metamodernism as a label for the post-2000 generation. The question I start from is to what extent, theoretically, is our local poetry metamodernist in its sensibility and specificity, and to what extent does posthumanism fit into a metamodernist heuristic label. Although the debate remains open insofar as the Romanian theoretical field seems rather refractory to transnational theoretical fictions, what I observe in this article is that metamodernism, as theoretically proposed, can be a viable alternative to the crisis of critical discourse.
