The Russia-Ukraine War and its Ripple Effects in South Asia: An Exploratory Analysis
Authors:   Tri-Chandra Multiple Campus, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal, Thapa Santa Bahadur
Published: January 2025

The Russia-Ukraine war has profoundly impacted South Asia despite the geographical distance. This study investigates the multifaceted repercussions of the
conflict on the region, encompassing economic, political, and social dimensions. The economic fallout, primarily manifested through supply chain disruptions
and commodity price surges, has fueled inflation, exacerbated food insecurity, and strained fiscal balances. The war has also complicated the geopolitical
landscape, forcing South Asian nations to navigate a delicate balancing act between their ties with Russia and the West, potentially intensifying regional
rivalries and increasing Russia’s influence. Socially, the war has disproportionately affected marginalized communities, amplifying existing inequalities and
raising concerns about social unrest and political instability. The study employs a qualitative research methodology, relying on a comprehensive review of
existing literature, news articles, policy documents, and expert analyses. The findings highlight the interconnectedness of global events and their far-reaching
consequences, even in regions seemingly distant from the conflict zone, underscoring the importance of understanding the broader context and the need for
a global perspective. The research underscores the urgent need for regional cooperation and a nuanced, proactive approach from regional and international
actors to address the multifaceted challenges posed by the war and foster a more resilient and equitable future for South Asia.

Defining Love According to the Teachings of Saint Porphyrios Kafsokalyvitis: Terms, Concept, Content
Authors:   “Valahia” University, Croitoru Ion Marian , Bâclea Gabriel Victor ,   “1 Decembrie 1918” University
Published: January 2025

This study delves into the profound conceptualization of love as depicted in Christian theology, particularly through the teachings of Saint Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia. It explores the evolution of the term “love” from its origins in the Greek language and early Christian writings to the intricate theological expositions by the Church Fathers, with a focus on the contemporary insights of Saint Porphyrios. Despite his lack of formal education, Saint Porphyrios brought a refreshing and experiential perspective to the theological understanding of love. His teachings, characterized by a profound understanding and personal experience of divine love, offer insightful reflections on its transformative power. Saint Porphyrios articulates love not merely as an ethical imperative but as the essence of Christian life, embodying the union with God and theosis. Through a comparative analysis, this study aims to delineate how Saint Porphyrios’s theology of love aligns with, and expands upon, the traditional Christian understanding of love, offering both a continuity with and a deepening of this central theological concept.
About Interpretation within the Interplay of
Singularity and Duality in Psalm 62:12
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Avram Sabina
Published: January 2025

Psalm 62:12, a poetic expression in the Hebrew Bible, serves as an eloquent locus for deepening into the interplay of major concepts dealt with in Judaism such as singularity and duality. Through a lens that integrates traditional exegesis (especially the mystical insights of Sefer Yetzirah upon these concepts), the verse unfolds as a tapestry of layers, although a vast majority of its translations might overshadow some particularities of the original text. The investigation begins with the singularity of God’s utterance, symbolized by the phrase “One – God has spoken.” This could be seen as a reference to the primordial utterance, to the idea that God’s speech is not confined to a specific moment in time but encompasses the eternal and ongoing act of creation. The duality encapsulated in “Two – have I heard”, which embodies the perspective of the psalmist, invites reflection on the dynamic of revelation and interpretation – a binary dance of divine disclosure and human receptivity, as well as its edges. What role does the idea of interpretation play within the singularity vs duality interplay? Additionally, what perspectives or lenses are implied by the translations predominantly chosen for this verse?
The Chariot and the Horses: Reappraising
Psalm 20:8
Glimpses into the Hebrew Text
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Axinciuc Madeea
Published: January 2025

The study will focus on the different modes of translating and interpreting the Hebrew verse 20:8 from The Book of Psalms, highlighting the richness of textual and contextual significances, in order to convey its appropriate, attentively delineated content in Biblical Hebrew while preserving (and defending in translation) its quality of hiding and deploying countless layers of interpretation.
How then could its translation be at the same time precise and capable of recalling a similar horizon, meant to actuate and evoke unlimited significances? The translation needs to be technical and accurate on the one hand and suggestive, without allowing the emergence of a different inner landscape within the translated text on the other hand. The new linguistic garments should be able to adapt in order to convey, as much as possible, the same message in distinct situations.
Correspondences will be traced between Psalm 20:8 and 2 Kings 2 (Elijah’s Ascension to Heaven). For hermeneutical purposes, Moses Maimonides’s approach, in The Guide of the Perplexed, regarding the Account of the Divine Chariot (Merkavah) will be brought into discussion.

Emerging Technologies, Hidden Biases: Gender and the New Frontiers of Security
Authors: Imam Mahera , Manimekalai Prof N.
Published: January 2025

The rapid integration of digital technologies into communication, work, healthcare, and security has transformed modern life. However, these advancements often perpetuate or exacerbate existing social inequalities. Emerging technologies, designed within specific social, economic, and cultural frameworks, are imbued with hidden biases that disproportionately affect marginalized groups, particularly women and gender-diverse individuals. This paper firstly, it explores algorithmic biases, highlighting how machine learning systems trained on biased datasets reinforce harmful stereotypes and disadvantage underrepresented groups. Second, it addresses surveillance capitalism, drawing on Shoshana Zuboff’s framework to analyse how the commodification of personal data disproportionately impacts women, making them vulnerable to privacy violations and exploitation. Third, the paper investigates digital vulnerabilities, focusing on the risks women face in online spaces, such as cyberstalking, harassment, and non-consensual image sharing, illustrated by cases like the Sulli Deals and Bulli Bai apps. Grounded in feminist theory, the paper argues for inclusive and equitable technology design practices. It advocates for diverse datasets, transparent algorithmic decision-making, and robust digital privacy protections to ensure that technology does not reinforce societal inequities but instead serves as a tool for empowerment and equality. By reimagining the priorities of technological development, this analysis calls for a shift towards inclusivity, equity, and safety as foundational principles for the digital age.

Study on the Separation Process of Non-Metallic Inclusions at the Steel-Slag Interface Using Water Modeling Under Static and Dynamic Conditions
Authors: Muhammad Sajjad , Tao Xin , Ren Dekang , Zhang Hongyu , Liu Tao , Chen Chao
Published: January 2025

Effective inclusion removal is essential for making high-quality steel. The inclusion separation into the slag involved a step of flow across the slag-steel interface in the steelmaking process. This research study examines how polypropylene (PP) and hollow Al2O3 particles float in water and oil interface to simulate the inclusion floating process. Both static and dynamic (with water flow) conditions are studied. The movement of particles of various sizes and densities in a rectangular acrylic container are recorded by a high-speed camera setup. The experiment utilized water, silicone oil, and particles of varying sizes and densities to investigate the impact of physical properties on floating dynamics. Results demonstrated that under high viscosity conditions, particles were unable to cross the water-oil interface, despite having reduced densities. However, due to their lower viscosity, PP particles were able to float on top of the silicone oil. Using silicone oil with a viscosity of 0.0288 Pa·s, 3.96 mm PP particles displaced 70% of dimensionless displacement, whereas 3.93 mm hollow Al2O3 particles displaced 100% of dimensionless displacement. Dynamic measurements revealed that larger 3.9 mm Al2O3 particles moved 75% of dimensionless displacement in 0.2 s, compared to 65% of dimensionless displacement for smaller 3.1 mm Al2O3 particles. The terminal velocities of 3.93 mm Al2O3 particles were 0.143 m/s and 3.12 mm particles were 0.135 m/s. This study allows steelmakers to improve the process and assure better separation of inclusions, resulting in stronger, more reliable steel products.

The Films and Paradox of Guy Debord
Authors:   Artist, Beijing, CONG Feng
Published: January 2025

This article focuses on Guy Debord’s films and his paradoxical claim that his works do not qualify as “films”. Debord viewed cinema as an alienated form. of communication, whose inherent logic opposes the transformation of cinema into a spectacle, a process that would reinforce the dominance of the society of the spectacle. By rejecting the totality of cinema’s conventional narrative and form, Debord aligns with the situationists’ goal of liberating everyday life. This article analyzes Debord’s core tactic of Détournement as a form. of negation and opposition to the medium itself, repurposing existing forms and subverting them from within to generate critical tension and open up new possibilities. In the contemporary context, as individuals shift from passive consumers to active participants in image production, reclaiming the agency of viewing becomes possible. The author argues that war imagery is a means of reclaiming visual representation and assigning it new meaning. Through these visuals, a form. of visual resistance is mounted against the spectacle, thereby constructing a personal image of the world.
G2C Communication Through Government Service Portals: An Assessment of Kenya’s e-Citizen and eFNS Portals
Authors: Robert Aswani Daniel , Ndanu Mutua Sylvia
Published: January 2025

The automation of government services as exemplified through service portals has increased in a post-COVID-19 world that yearns for social and physical interaction. Although governments have benefitted from an arm’s length service delivery model, consumers of these services expect continuous communication from their governments. Government-to-consumer (G2C) communication is hinged on the fact that consumer (citizens and foreign nationals) engagement has a significant place in the provision of government services and government communication literature posits the place of strategic communication with consumers. While preliminary research suggests the popular usage of government service portals to enhance G2C communication, little is known about the effectiveness and interactivity of G2C communication between the government and consumers of government services. Questions thus abound on the kind of perceptions that consumers have regarding the comprehensiveness, effectiveness, and efficiency of G2C communication through government service portals. In Kenya, the automation of immigration services encapsulated in the e-citizen and e-foreign nationals service (eFNS) portals, offers prudential lessons to concretize and improve G2C communication in a post-pandemic world. This study focuses on communication through the portals between the government and citizens (applying for passports) and foreign nationals (applying for visas, permits, passes, and long-term residences). The study adopted secondary research analysis coupled with interviews carried out with 16 participants: 10 citizens and foreigners; and 6 Ministry of Interior officials. Thematic analysis revealed that automation orients government officials to a generic messaging model that bespeaks incommunicado and frustrates the attainment of effective G2C communication. Additionally, the study established that whereas government officials were endeared to generic communicative incentives of the portals, consumers craved more information and communication from the government through the portals. From the findings, it is indicative that there is an urgent need to re-engineer the portals and institute a communication avenue. There is a need for the avenue to be run by a competent team of communication practitioners that will engage consumers in two-way symmetrical communication if the government is to make use of service portals in an automated post-pandemic world.

Chlorfenvinphos is one of the organophosphates largely produced around the world to control mites and ticks in dairy farming. However, it is toxic and has serious effects on the nervous system and other organ systems. It has a long residual effect in the environment posing risks to both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.  In this study, three species of bacteria isolated from chlorpyrifos contaminated dairy farms in Kenya were screened for their ability to produce chlorfenvinphos degrading organophosphorus phosphatase enzymes. The isolates, Advenella kashmirensis, Micrococcus luteus, and Lysinibacillus sphaericus grew at different rates when both temperature and pH were varied. The optimal growth temperature for the three isolates was 35°C while the optimal pH of M. luteus and L. sphaericus was 7 and 6 for A. kashmirensis. At these optimal conditions, A. kashmirensis had the highest growth (OD 0.175) followed by L. sphaericus (OD 0.132) while M. luteus had the lowest (OD 0.106). Crude protein concentration was highest for A. kashmirensis (465.4 ± 31.8 μg/mL) and was significantly different from the concentrations of the other isolates (p < 0.05). This suggests its suitability for applications requiring high concentrations of total proteins.  On purification of crude protein using ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration, A. kashmirensis exhibited the highest enzyme activity (19.8 ± 0.8 µMol/Min and was significantly different from M. luteus (13.8 ± 0.98 µMol/Min and L. sphaericus (11.8 ± 0.2 µMol/Min. These results suggest A. kashmirensis is superior in bioremediating chlorfenvinphos polluted environments and can be used to clean up polluted dairy farms. However, more studies are required to explore how the isolates interact with each other in their natural environments with a view of coming up with more efficient degradation process to restore polluted dairy farms and reduce the risk of the acaricide entering aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems from where it can easily enter into food chains affecting a wide variety of organisms.
La evolución de los precios alimentarios. Propuestas para una cadena agroalimentaria eficiente y justa en la Comunitat Valenciana
Authors: Moreno Pérez Olga María , García Alvarez-Coque José María
Published: January 2025

En el siglo XXI, los mercados alimentarios enfrentan turbulencias marcadas por el alza de los costes energéticos y tensiones geopolíticas, que afectan los precios de los alimentos. Este trabajo evalúa la evolución de dichos precios y su relación con la energía, con un enfoque en propuestas para mejorar la cadena agroalimentaria de la Comunitat Valenciana. A partir de un diagnóstico basado en datos estadísticos, se desarrollaron talleres multi-actor que identificaron mejoras desde una visión participativa. Las propuestas incluyen superar la atomización del sector, optimizar la logística y la digitalización, fomentar la colaboración público-privada y promover innovaciones tecnológicas y organizativas. Además, se subraya la necesidad de garantizar transparencia en la cadena, educar en hábitos de nutrición responsable, y reconocer la responsabilidad compartida en asegurar el derecho a la alimentación, lo cual implica transformaciones normativas y culturales en la sociedad.

The Saga to Reinvigorate the National Park Service
Authors: Davis Gary E. , Davis Dorothy A.
Published: January 2025

After a century, America’s national parks have become so popular that they are in danger of being smothered by affection. Many people struggle to visit a national park without making heroic planning efforts, booking reservations many months in advance, and incurring significant travel costs. How can we save wildlife and historical treasures in parks struggling to survive onslaughts? This saga has the makings of a classic story arc—Good Deed > Collapse > Escalation—but only if we can reinvigorate National Park System stewardship to ensure humanity’s heritage survives unimpaired in parks as intended by our ancestors.

Objective: To determine the relationship between the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices on cervical cancer prevention of the mothers of Obstetrics students at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, 2023.
Materials and Methods: Observational, correlational and cross-sectional study. 300 mothers of Obstetrics students from 2nd to 5th year participated and provided their informed consent. The Spearman Correlation test was applied with a significance of 5%. The research had ethical approval.
Results: The frequency of dialogue between mother-students about cervical cancer prevention was directly related to knowledge (rho = 0.219; p < 0.01) and secondary preventive practices (rho = 0.159; p = 0.006). A direct relationship was observed between knowledge and primary preventive practices (rho = 0.117; p = 0.043). Attitude was directly related to secondary cervical cancer prevention practices (rho = 0.326; p < 0.01).
Conclusions: There is a direct relationship between knowledge and primary prevention practices, and attitude is directly related to secondary prevention practices. The frequency of dialogue between mother-student is related to knowledge and practices of secondary prevention of cervical cancer.
