Ecological and faunistic characteristics of taxoсenes of Collembola in the agrocenoses of Zhovkivsky (Lviv District
Authors: Datsko Tatiana , Kachmar Natalia
Published: December 2024

As a result of the conducted research, a total of 43 species of collembola were found, which belong to 29 genera and 10 families. In the course of longer and larger-scale research in agrocenoses, it is possible to detect significantly more species (according to literature data, no less than 70). The studied coenotic fauna (αb-diversity) includes from 5 to 21 species of collembola (on average 13.9). One soil sample (αa-diversity) contains from 1 to 8 species of Collembola (on average 2.1). The highest capacity of the medium for collembola at the level of αa-diversity is characteristic of wheat agrocenosis, and the smallest – of potato. The βa-diversity index of collembola (differentiating diversity) of the studied agrocenoses is 3.5 times higher than in natural biotopes of the broad-leaved forest zone, which is associated with a greater contrast of edaphic conditions of the arable environment. The noted high values of the βa-diversity index in agrocenoses are associated with relatively small values of the so-called point αa-diversity. A noticeable decrease in the ecological capacity of the environment for collembola at the level of αa-diversity in the studied agrocenoses is due to the contrast of physical and chemical conditions in specific edaphotopes, the weak edifying effect of the cultivated crop, as well as the implementation of agrotechnical measures. The analysis of the βα-diversity index shows that the greatest unevenness of intracenotic conditions for collembola was found in agrocenoses of wheat (βα-diversity = 5.9), the average in potatoes (5.3), and the smallest in rapeseed (4.7, respectively). The indicator of the average population of collembola in the studied types of agrocenoses varies in a 30-fold interval of values. It has the highest average value in wheat agrocenosis and the lowest value in potato. However, in comparison with natural forest and meadow coenoses, the maximum indicator of the number of pintails in the studied agrocenoses is about an order of magnitude lower. The obtained data on the share of families in the studied coenotic fauna generally agree with the literature data that are known for the natural coenoses of western Ukraine.

Authors: Kyyak Volodymyr , Klymyshyn Oleksandr
Published: December 2024

An analysis of the structural and dynamic transformations in the alpine grass community Juncetum festucosum airoid in the town of Pozhizhevska in the Chornohir massif of the Ukrainian Carpathians, which have occurred during the last 40 years under the influence of climatogenic and demutational changes, was carried out. The main factors and consequences of its transformation at the level of the group structure, as well as the age composition, density and projected coverage of the coenopopulations of grass, hemishrub and shrub species have been established. A significant redistribution of coenosis-forming positions of species was noted. During this time, the phytocoenosis was transformed into Juncetum myrtilloso-rhodococcosum. Already in the medium term. in the future, it is possible to predict drastic changes in the experimental community due to the expansion of its area, as well as in other alpine communities at their lower limit, subalpine shrub groups Juniperus communis subsp. alpina. The modern anthropogenic threat of digression of the investigated phytocoenosis, like many other groups of the alpine zone of the Ukrainian Carpathians, is the uncontrolled harvesting of Cetraria islandica, which continues intensively even in protected areas.
State of the population of Pulsatilla patens (L.) Mill. on the territorу National Nature Park «Podilski Tovtry»
Authors: Horbniak-Yulina Lesya
Published: December 2024

The population of Pulsatilla patens has been described in the NNP «Podilski Tovtry» national nature park on the territory of the «Ivakhnovetskiy» protected area. The article analyzes the data from the literature on the possible systematic position of P. patens and its range. Literary sources and herbarium specimens stored in local herbaria were processed, and probable localities in the territory of the national park were described. The only place of growth on the «Ivakhnovetskiy» of the NNP «Podilski Tovtry» has been confirmed. The ecological and coenotic relationships are characterized, and the biological features of the studied species are discussed. The geobotanical descriptions within the «Ivakhnovetskiy» protected area are carried out. The habitats and communities from the Green Book of Ukraine with P. patens were identified. The physical and geographical features of the habitat of the studied species are characterized. The results of statistical processing of morphometric parameters of P. patens, which were analyzed within the NNP «Podilski Tovtry», are processed and presented. It was found that the population on the «Ivakhnovetskiy» is predominantly homogeneous. The largest coefficient of variation was determined for the number of flowers and the height of the pedunculate shoot, which is due to the biological characteristics of the species. Based on the results of accounting for the age structure of the P. patens population in this locality, it was found that the recovery index is moderate. The factors of influence on the population of Pulsatilla patens on the «Ivakhnovetskiy» were determined. The conservation measures for the restoration and conservation of the rare species P. patens in the territory of NNP «Podilski Tovtry» and in Ukraine in particular at the eastern limit of its distribution are proposed. It is proposed to propagate the germinated seeds at the collection site with further return to the natural habitat of «Ivakhnovetskiy» and other localities identified during the study of literary and herbarium materials – to reintroduce it. Controlled spontaneous succession in abandoned and/or still active limestone quarries with large areas devoid of dense vegetation can be an effective tool for population recovery.

Published: December 2024

Due to their superior strength to weight ratio, composite constructions have many advantages over traditional metallic ones. Due to their benefits of having more specific stiffness, laminated composites are widely used for the torque carrying constructions. Composite drive shafts are having qualities of lighter,
more durable, and higher critical speed drive trains. This research looks into various composite material combinations and different stacking sequences.
The sequences are considered in the opposite of the torque direction in order to afford an alternative of the conventional steel drive shaft. This shaft will be useful for auto motives. ANSYS 18.1 was used to calculate the natural frequency of the composite drive shaft.
A Study Investigating The Presence Of Diatoms On Tooth Samples Using The Acid Digestion Method For The Estimation Of Time Since Death In Drowning Cases
Authors: - Nansy Sara Thomas
Published: December 2024

Teeth are a further source of diatoms in establishing the cause of death and time since death by analysis of the stage qualitative and quantitative evaluation of diatoms diversity. Trials also confirmed that diatoms have also been a useful tool in differentiating antemortem and postmortem drowning (Jian Zhao April 2014). Diatoms are a type of algae that belong to the phylum Bacillariophyta. They are unicellular organisms with a unique feature – their cell walls are made of silica, which gives them a glass-like appearance. Diatoms are a diverse group of microorganisms found in various aquatic environments, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and even damp soil. This study mainly focuses on a tooth immersed in a water sample from a known water body for a day and the 7th day to observe the variation and the stages of the life cycle. The method of extraction used is the acid digestion method using concentrated Sulphuric Acid. We could find the centric and pennate types of diatoms. Diatoms are also important as they indicate natural water quality (European Committee of Standardization 2004). According to the results, we cannot deny that teeth are a source for the extraction of diatoms and also an indicator of time since death when other methods fail.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, facial detection and recognition technologies have become increasingly important in various fields, including smartphones, defence, and secure information centres. Acknowledging their potential, we intend to create a device that uses facial recognition as an effective and innovative substitute for conventional attendance methods, such as paper and fingerprint systems. The primary goal of this project is to establish a unified attendance system that employs facial recognition technology to confirm student identities and simplify the attendance process. This method provides a smooth, secure, and precise solution for contemporary academic settings. The system employs a machine learning algorithm developed for use in Python, allowing it to take pictures of students using the camera on a computer or laptop. Moreover, external cameras can be utilized as long as they are linked to the system. The face recognition capability is implemented through the Haarcascade algorithm, which is incorporated into the software.

Over the last few years Tanzania has witnessed a controversy between Taxpayers and the tax authority i.e., The Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA). These clashes have resulted into several boycotts, strikes, and demonstration by the tax payers, particularly the business owners (traders) in commercial areas. In all these altercations the message from the traders has always been that their rights are being infringed and they believe that the tax authority is not treating them fairly. With these unfolding, it is necessary to revisit the tax payers’ rights as provided in the laws of Tanzania and study them in detail. This article delves into the tax payers’ rights in Tanzania.
An In-depth Study of the Socio-economic Status and Cultural Life of the Rajbanshi Community in Northern West Bengal
Authors: - AMIT  KUMAR ROY
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study examines the socioeconomic status, cultural practices, and barriers to social mobility within the Rajbanshi community of Northern West Bengal. The Rajbanshi people, often marginalized by caste and economic instability, face significant challenges such as limited access to education, inadequate healthcare, and poor living conditions. The community's reliance on agriculture and seasonal labor exacerbates economic insecurity. Additionally, caste discrimination further hampers social mobility and access to opportunities. Despite these difficulties, cultural identity plays a crucial role in maintaining resilience and social cohesion, with traditional festivals and rituals fostering a sense of belonging. However, modernization and globalization pose threats to the preservation of these cultural practices, especially among younger generations. This research explores the intersectionality of socioeconomic status, cultural heritage, and systemic barriers to mobility, with a focus on the impact of education, infrastructure, and government welfare schemes. Using a qualitative approach, the study includes semi-structured interviews with 120 Rajbanshi households from both rural and urban areas. The findings highlight the community's economic hardships, the importance of cultural traditions, and the systemic challenges that hinder their access to resources. This research fills a critical gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive understanding of the Rajbanshi community’s socioeconomic and cultural dynamics, offering valuable insights for policymakers, NGOs, and community leaders to support social inclusion and empowerment efforts.

Authors: - Shashank Reddy Beeravelly
Published: December 2024

The emergence of artificial intelligence and cloud computing has transformed modern disaster response
capabilities, particularly by developing sophisticated real-time analytics systems for natural disaster
management. This article examines the integration of AI-powered analytics platforms that synthesize data
from multiple sources, including satellite imagery, meteorological stations, and social media streams, to
enable rapid response during crises. This article demonstrates that cloud-based real-time analytics
substantially enhance early warning systems and optimize resource allocation during disaster events while
significantly improving response times compared to traditional methods. However, these technological
advances raise important ethical considerations regarding data privacy and equity in access to digital
resources. The findings suggest that AI-driven disaster response systems offer unprecedented capabilities
in protecting communities. However, their implementation must be guided by robust frameworks that
ensure equitable access and maintain privacy standards while maximizing public safety benefits.

A Study on Determinants of Profitability of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited
Authors: - K.SATYA BHAMA
Published: December 2024

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) is the largest oil and gas company in India. The sustainable development of a firm is dependent on the profit earned during a long period consistently. The profit earned helps the firm to improve the performance. The profit of a firm could be determined by various factors. From the revenue point of view, the operating revenue and other income are the major sources of revenue whereas the expenditure items would affect the net profit inversely. This paper has been undertaken with the aim of understanding the influence of revenue and expenditure items on the net profit. In this regard, the annual reports of ONGC for the period of 10 years from 2014-15 to 2023.24 have been collected. The data collected from the annual reports have been grouped and tabulated wherever necessary. The data so collected have been analyzed using mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, compounded annual growth rate, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that the revenue items have positively influenced the net profit while the expenditure items have negatively influenced the net profit of the firm. The major determinant of the net profit of ONGC is found to be the net revenue from operations.

Authors: - UMESH KUMAR SINHA
Published: December 2024

There is potential to feed excess electricity to the grid for more efficient and cost-effective power utilization when solar PV arrays are installed widely in comparison to other renewable power output. The primary objective of this article is to use a multilevel inverter to operate autonomously regulate the active and reactive power flow. A vector control system that rotates synchronously with the grid frequency has been devised in both direct and quadrature reference frames. Two current control loops have been implemented to control the current delivered to the grid so that it will has low total harmonic distortion and is in phase with the grid voltage. To run the inverter at a suitable DC link voltage which corresponds to maximum power-which is established by the MPPT algorithm, a DC voltage control loop has also been implemented. Inverters that are connected to the grid are commonly utilized to enhance dispersed generation and power eminence.
Culture and Philosophical Reflection
Authors: - Plamen Nikolov
Published: December 2024

Philosophical categories focus on both emotional and evaluative meanings and become forms of worldview. They make people experience the world, and thanks to this – they are again transformed into cultural universals, and thus become established as cultural foundations.
The analytic attitude to philosophizing in New European culture takes place primarily in the form of a scientism orientation.
Philosophy in the European context is often built in the image of science and is oriented to the highest degree towards the analysis of those worldly consequences that give rise to fundamental scientific achievements. It is also in this discourse that the understanding of philosophy as the science of the most general laws of nature, society, and thought emerges.
Antimicrobial Activity of Biohardened Plant Extracts of Albizia Amara
Authors: - G INDRAVATHI
Published: December 2024

Albizia amara is an important medicinal plant commonly found in dry forests of India. It belongs to leguminaceae and its common name in telugu is Nallaregoo (or) Chigaraku. All of the plant parts i.e., roots, shoots, leaves, flowers, seeds and bark, were exclusively used in traditional medicine for curing different diseases like diarrhea, skin diseases gonorrhea, poisonous bites and leprosy. Due to its wide pharmacological activities and presence of several therapeutic constituents, Albizia amara has been selected for tissue culture studies in the present investigation. A systemic approach for increasing the survival rate of tissue culture raised A.amara plantlets using bioinoculants was explored . The studies reported that biohardening of tissue cultured plantlets with mixed inoculum of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Trichoderma viride enhanced plant survival rate (82 %). This microbial association helped in inducing systemic resistance in plants to overcome abiotic and biotic stress caused during acclimatization. The phytochemical studies of biohardened plants exhibited high antimicrobial activity due to the presence of more secondary metabolites. These secondary metabolites probably due to their antagonistic properties gave protection against pathogenic attack during transplantation. Phytochemical analysis of different plant extracts like, ethyl acetate, chloroform, methanolic, and petroleum ether extracts were studied. The ethyl acetate extract of dual inoculant treated plants showed maximum antimicrobial activity. In bacteria, it showed maximum zone of inhibition on B.cereus (11.5±1.73), followed by E.coli (10±0.82 mm) . In fungi, it showed maximum inhibition on F.oxysporum (13.25±0.28mm) followed by C.albicans (8.5±0.17mm). The above strategy helped in overall improvement of morphological, physiological and phytochemical characteristics of tissue culture plantlets.
The decline of the indian education system: a historical analysis of muslim and colonial rule
Authors: Kambala Yamini Jyothsna , Mathe Ramakrishna
Published: December 2024

The Indian education system has undergone significant transformations, particularly during Muslim and British colonial rule, which led to the decline of traditional education systems. Before these influences, education in India was decentralized and focused on religious, philosophical, and scientific teachings in institutions likeGurukuls and Buddhist monasteries. The arrival of Muslim rulers introduced Madrasas, which blended Islamic learning with Indian traditions but contributed to the decline of indigenous Hindu and Buddhist centers of learning. The most profound shift occurred under British colonial rule, especially after Macaulay's 1835 Minute on Education, which introduced English-based education that prioritized colonial administrative needs over traditional systems. This led to the marginalization of indigenous knowledge, vernacular languages, and a new social divide between English-educated Indians and the rest of society. Although the British introduced modern subjects like science and law, their education system undermined intellectual creativity and innovation. Post-independence, India has made efforts to reform its education system, aiming to reclaim its lost heritage and integrate modern knowledge, but challenges persist in balancing traditional education with global advancements. This study evaluates the long-term consequences of these transformations, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to revitalize India’s educational heritage while embracing modern education.

EXPLORING FAMILY COMMUNICATION PATTERNS IN ADOLESCENTS AND THEIR ASSOCIATIONS WITH REPRODUCTIVE AND SEXUAL HEALTH: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Arini Ayu Sajida Daad , Syiroj Agung Taufiqur Rokhman
Published: December 2024

Adolescents are a group that is particularly susceptible to challenges and obstacles, such as problems with their reproductive and sexual health. Teens' views, knowledge, and behavior are greatly influenced by the ways in which parents and teens communicate with each other at home. The purpose of this study is to investigate how parents and teenagers communicate about sexual and reproductive health, as well as any barriers. A systematic review of the literature was the research approach and methodology employed. Using the PRISMA approach, journals published between 2004 and 2024 were gathered from the DOAJ, PubMed, The Lancet, and ResearchGate databases. The examination of twenty-five chosen publications led to the classification of parent-adolescent communication patterns into three primary domains: sociodemographic circumstances, communication subjects, and communication topics. Communication is hampered by a variety of factors, such as shame, discordant relationships, parental worries, ignorance, and poor communication skills. Parents, teenagers, and other family members all have a role to play in helping families establish effective communication patterns. Effective strategies to promote reproductive health communication within the family include making accurate information easily accessible, involving not only parents but also carers who look after the adolescent, and developing community-based, religiously-based, and culturally-based programs.
Prognostic and diagnostic value of SPINK mRNAs expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma based on genome-wide analysis
Authors: Ma Chao , Li Haoyu
Published: December 2024

Aim: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) is a major contributor to the global cancer burden. The serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type (SPINK) gene family has been linked to various cancers. This study explores the prognostic value of SPINK genes in predicting overall survival (OS) in HNSC patients. Methods: We analyzed RNA sequencing and clinical data from 504 cancer and 44 non-cancer samples from the TCGA database. Differential expression and functional enrichment analyses gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (GO and KEGG) were performed using clusterProfiler. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were built with STRING and visualized. Immune infiltration was evaluated using single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA). Survival analysis utilized Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models. Results: Our results showed that SPINK5, SPINK7, SPINK8, SPINK9, and SPINK14 were significantly overexpressed in normal tissues compared to carcinoma tissues, whereas SPINK1, SPINK4, and SPINK6 showed higher expression in carcinoma tissues. Correlation analysis revealed significant relationships among SPINK family members. GO and KEGG analyses highlighted their involvement in processes such as negative regulation of peptidase activity and serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. PPI network analysis indicated close interactions between several SPINK proteins and other relevant proteins. Immune infiltration analysis showed that NK cells and Th2 cells were negatively correlated with SPINK genes, while mast cells and neutrophils were positively correlated. Survival analysis revealed that high mRNA expression levels of SPINK1, SPINK5, and SPINK6 were significantly associated with OS in HNSC patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that these genes have diagnostic value. We developed a nomogram model that combines tumor stage and SPINK gene expression providing a predictive tool for patient prognosis. Conclusions: This study elucidates the multifaceted roles of the SPINK gene family in HNSC. These findings offer valuable insights into their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Analisis data dilakukan dengan aplikasi Eviews 12, dan pendekatan statistik yang diterapkan adalah regresi.
Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa arus kas operasi menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan terhadap harga saham. Laba akuntansi tidak dapat memoderasi pengaruh arus kas operasi terhadap harga saham. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa meskipun arus kas operasi berperan penting dalam menentukan nilai saham perusahaan, laba akuntansi tidak berfungsi sebagai variabel moderasi yang efektif dalam hubungan ini. Dengan demikian, arus kas operasi tetap menjadi indikator utama yang memengaruhi harga saham secara langsung, sementara laba akuntansi tidak memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam memperkuat atau melemahkan dampak arus kas operasi terhadap pergerakan harga saham. Penelitian ini menyarankan bahwa investor dan analis keuangan sebaiknya fokus pada arus kas operasional sebagai faktor utama dalam penilaian saham, tanpa harus terlalu mengandalkan laba akuntansi sebagai elemen moderasi.

The focal point of this study was to investigate the significant relationship between instructional practices and metacognitive ability on language competence of junior high school students in Kidapawan City, Cotabato, Philippines. The research also aimed to find out the domain of instructional practices and metacognitive ability that influence the language competence of junior high school students. Furthermore, this study utilized the nonexperimental quantitative research design applying the correlational technique. The data were collected from 106 junior high school students through surveys, revealing the very high-level instructional practices of Filipino teachers and high-level metacognitive ability and language competence of students. This study further disclosed that instructional practices does not have significant relationship with language competence, however, significant association was found between metacognitive ability and language competence. The findings indicated that even when teachers carry out instructional practices in their teaching and instruction, it doesn't guarantee that students will improve their competence in language. On the other hand, practicing metacognitive ability can lead to better performance in language assessment given that students who are aware of their learning and employed effective strategies tend to achieve better performance. Evaluating strategy used and learning output of metacognitive ability were found to be the best predictor of language competence of junior high school students.

Published: December 2024

The external ear is highly individualised in terms of its shape, size, and other morphological characteristics, making it a useful tool for forensic identification in determining sex and personal identification. These characteristics are believed to be controlled by multiple genes and shared among genetically related individuals. To describe the uniqueness and sexual differences in external ear morphology among the ethnic Meiteis, a cross-sectional study was conducted in the Clinical Section of the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology from May 2022 to April 2024. The study included 422 ethnic Meiteis, and common characteristics observed in both sexes included an oval-shaped pinna in 35.38% of individuals, nodosity of Darwin's tubercle in 74.53%, medium-sized anti-tragus in 50.66%, arched shape of the lobule in 44.67%, and proportionate form of the concha in 74.10%. The tragus types were evenly distributed, with an average of 30% for each type. The shape of the helical fold differed between males and females, with 60.03% of males having a normally rolled shape and 62.16% of females having a wide covering scapha shape, with an average occurrence of 49.14%. There was no significant sexual difference in the external ear characteristics except for the helical fold. Regarding the uniqueness, most of the ethnic Meitei population exhibited the nodosity type of Darwin's tubercle, medium-sized anti-tragus, and proportionate form of the concha, accounting for more than half of the total study population.

Published: December 2024

The incidence of the cases of sudden unexpected deaths due to cardiovascular causes are readily increasing worldwide. The coronary arterial heart disease is considered to be epidemic in India. Previous literatures show that ABO blood group is an inherent risk factor for the development of coronary atherosclerosis apart from the conventional risk factors. The present study was conducted during the one year period from June 2022 to April 2023 with a sample size of 100 cases aged 25 to 50years whose hearts were examined by routine techniques and blood grouping done slide agglutination technique. It showed that there was a statistically significant association between the ABO blood group and coronary atherosclerosis with p-value of 0.012. In general, the non-O blood group especially the blood group-A had higher risk for coronary atherosclerosis when compared to the O-blood group individuals. As this incidence occurs at a much younger age group, it is recommended that the screening for coronary atherosclerosis should begin at a much younger age especially by including the screening for ABO blood group apart from the conventional risk factors as blood group A had higher risk. Further, this study also opens up the gate for genetic studies in future in order to understand the exact association between ABO blood group and the coronary atherosclerosis at the gene level in detail.

We summarized records of the Swinhoe’s Rail and reconstructed its breeding range, winter range and migration ways. We distinguished two evolutionarily significant units within Swinhoe’s Rail: a continental and a Japanese. The continental form breeds mainly in the borderland between China and the Russian Far East, while the Japanese is an endemic of Japan.

В статье рассматривается кадровое планирование в рамках одной из обеспечивающих функций территориальных органов ФСИН России как элементов системы правоохранительных органов страны. Описываются особенности начальных этапов кадрового планирования, анализируются недостатки на современном этапе функционирования. Отмечается, что для обеспечения эффективного поиска кадровой службе учреждения необходимо постоянно оценивать эффективность используемых методов поиска кадров с целью выявления наиболее приемлемого подхода. Авторы обосновывают внесение изменений в систему ротации руководителей территориальных органов с учетом реалий текущей обстановки в уголовно-исполнительной системе. Предлагается применение теоретических разработок в области кадрового планирования в практической деятельности территориальных органов ФСИН России.

The article considers personnel planning within the framework of one of the supporting functions of the territorial bodies of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia as elements of the country's law enforcement system. The features of the initial stages of personnel planning are described, the shortcomings at the current stage of functioning are analyzed. It is noted that in order to ensure an effective search, the personnel service of the institution must constantly evaluate the effectiveness of the methods used in personnel search in order to identify the most appropriate approach. The authors substantiate the introduction of changes to the system of rotation of heads of territorial bodies, taking into account the realities of the current situation in the penal system. The application of theoretical developments in the field of personnel planning in the practical activities of the territorial bodies of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia is proposed.
