Exploring Feminine Identity: A Comparative Analysis of Female Protagonists in Anita Desais- Clear Light of Day and Arundhati Roys- The God of Small Things
Authors: Kumar Brajesh
Published: June 2024

Abstract: This comparative analysis explores the construction and evolution of feminine identity in Anita Desai’s ‘Clear Light of Day’ and Arundhati Roy’s ‘The God of Small Things’. By focusing on the female protagonists—Bim in ‘Clear Light of Day’ and Rahel in ‘The God of Small Things’—this study delves into their personal journeys, struggles, and the societal constraints that shape their identities. Both novels, set against the backdrop of Indian society, present a rich tapestry of cultural, familial, and historical influences that impact the lives of women. In ‘Clear Light of Day’, Bim’s character is portrayed as strong yet burdened by familial responsibilities and societal expectations. Her journey reflects the challenges of reconciling personal desires with traditional roles. In contrast, Rahel in ‘The God of Small Things’ navigates a more tumultuous path marked by trauma, loss, and rebellion. Roy’s narrative style and non-linear storytelling emphasize Rahel’s fragmented identity and the pervasive influence of socio-political factors. This study examines the similarities and differences in the authors’ approaches to depicting feminine identity. Desai’s nuanced portrayal of Bim highlights the silent endurance and resilience of women within the confines of tradition, while Roy’s vivid depiction of Rahel underscores the breaking of taboos and the quest for self-assertion against oppressive norms. By analyzing these characters, this paper aims to shed light on the broader themes of gender, identity, and agency in Indian literature. It highlights how Desai and Roy, through their distinct narrative techniques and characterizations, contribute to the discourse on women’s roles and identities in contemporary Indian society.

Authors: Murali Mr. M
Published: June 2024

Abstract: In the digital age, efficient computation is critical for high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) applications. This project focuses on designing and implementing a 32-bit Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) unit using the Dadda multiplier and Carry Save Adder (CSA). Traditional MAC units often struggle with speed, area efficiency, and power consumption. The Dadda multiplier, known for its efficient partial product reduction, is coupled with the CSA to minimize carry propagation delay, thus enhancing overall performance. The proposed MAC unit demonstrates superior speed, power efficiency, and reduced hardware complexity compared to conventional units. It is particularly suitable for applications like FIR and IIR filters, FFT, and neural networks, where high-speed arithmetic operations are essential. The design is synthesized and simulated using industry-standard tools, showcasing its effectiveness and suitability for various DSP applications. By reducing critical path delays and optimizing power consumption, the new MAC unit promises significant improvements in both computational speed and energy efficiency, meeting the growing demands of modern DSP systems.

Las primeras páginas del texto resaltan la ardua tarea de la conciliación para las parejas trabajadoras en la sociedad española. El hecho de tener hijos y trabajar a la vez conlleva, en palabras de la autora, “hacer malabarismos”. Todo ello en una sociedad donde se reivindica cada vez con más fuerza la corresponsabilidad igualitaria de los adultos que componen el hogar familiar.
Migración de retorno de argentinos en España: una propuesta tipológica basada en las motivaciones sobre por qué volver a casa
Authors: Rivero Patricia Jimena
Published: June 2024

El artículo analiza la migración de retorno de argentinos en España proponiendo una tipología basada en las motivaciones, expectativas y ambivalencias que estas personas esgrimieron a la hora de retornar a su país de origen, periodo 2008-2017. A partir de un análisis cualitativo, longitudinal y multinivel se examinan los procesos de decisión de estos retornados poniendo el eje en el tipo de proyecto migratorio diagramado. Se analiza también la temporalidad de los retornos con el objetivo de identificar proyectos migratorios definitivos (establecimiento residencial en origen) y transitorios (movimientos circulares y de re-emigración). La tipología propuesta es novedosa en el campo de estudios de las migraciones y propone tres tipos de proyectos migratorios de retorno: 1) proyecto de retorno donde prima la motivación económica (nivel macro-estructural), 2) proyecto de retorno donde prima la motivación de capitalizar-movilizar recursos (nivel meso-relacional), y 3) proyecto de retorno donde prima la motivación afectiva-familiar (nivel micro-individual).

Authors: Çalık Adnan , Uçar Nazım
Published: June 2024

In this study, the weldability and microstructure properties of S420MC dual phase (DP) steel joints fabricated by the resistance spot welding method (RSW) were investigated. The microstructures of the welds were examined by SEM and optical microscopy. The results showed that the microstructure of the weld metal region completely transformed into the ferrite phase, and deep and wide cracks occurred in this region and heat-affected zone. It was concluded that the RSW method should not be recommended for welding DP steel.
The Polemics on the Russian Anecdote in 1805
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Trakhtenberg Lev A.
Published: June 2024

The paper views a literary debate of the early 19th century that has not yet received the due attention of specialists. The 1800s see emerging interest in original anecdotes that show the virtue and wit of Russians. The journal Drug Prosveshcheniia, which represents one of the influential literary factions of the time, the politically and stylistically conservative “Archaists” led by Alexander Shishkov, makes “Russian anecdote” a permanent section since its first issue. In 1805, the Russian anecdote becomes the object of a literary controversy. The discussion is initiated by a publication in the May issue of Drug Prosveshcheniia. It is followed by polemical replies of Severnyi Vestnik in June, Zhurnal dlia Pol’zy i Udovol’stviia in July, and Zhurnal Rossiiskoi Slovesnosti in September. The present paper traces the course of this discussion, deciphers the sub-texts, and analyses the participants’ positions. The research shows that the subject of the dispute is the nature of the anecdote as a genre. The discussion helps to outline the range of issues of its understanding: this includes the subject matter, volume, and style. During the polemics, the paradigm of genre variants is determined. In addition, this dispute acts as part of the polemic about language between the supporters of A.S. Shishkov and N.M. Karamzin, which intensifies in the summer of 1805. The article clarifies the positions of the parties on the material of this genre, demonstrating the diversity of opinions that cannot be reduced to two polar viewpoints.
“Pantaloon” and “Columbine” in the Land of the Soviets: Bernard Shaw and Nancy Astor’s Visit to the USSR in 1931
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Skalnaya Yulia A. ,   Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation,   А.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2024

The research is dedicated to the well-known visit of the Irish dramatist Bernard Shaw and the British MP Lady Nancy Astor to the USSR in 1931. However, it seeks to avoid the format of a clichéd observation of commonly known facts concerning their stay in the Land of the Soviets and aims to concentrate on previously unknown circumstances of the preparation of that trip organised by representatives of the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs and diplomats of the Soviet Embassy in London, on the one hand, and the media struggle evoked by that visit within the Soviet and the British press. The novelty of the research is provided by the use of numerous archival documents (AVP RF, RGALI) as well as quoting Bernard Shaw’s private correspondence and his friend Beatrice Webb’s diaries that have not been translated into Russian. The methodological foundation of this article is built upon the biographical and cultural-historic approaches; it also employs narrative techniques in recreating the historical background of Shaw’s visit, and content analysis in commenting on the media publications, and methods of archival research per se. Having considered the abovementioned documents, one can conclude that despite Shaw’s avid interest in Russia, his visit there was to a large extent spontaneous, which, together with Nancy Astor’s unpredictable escapades, caused considerable difficulties to the Soviet officials. Nevertheless, the variety of experiences offered to the British guests as well as the satisfaction of both reasonable and whimsical requests made by the dramatist managed to produce a favourable impression on the company and lead to Shaw’s companions giving generally positive feedback of the trip to the USSR whereas Shaw himself exalted in rave reviews. As a result, the victory scored by the Soviet soft power instigated a deluge of publications in the British media that aimed to discredit Shaw and Lady Astor as central figures of the trip. However, it cannot be said that those angry and even harsh commentaries caused any serious damage to their reputation or influenced their opinions of the USSR at the time.
First Trips of West German Writers to the USSR
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dobryashkina Anna V.
Published: June 2024

The first trips of West German writers to the Soviet Union after 1955 are practically not highlighted in the research literature. The article relies on RGALI documents: letters of German writers and reports made by their translators for the Soviet Writers’ Union. Establishing official contacts with West German writers became the main direction of Soviet literary policy in the post-war period. Before 1955, when diplomatic relations between the FRG and the USSR began, the writers of West Germany did not come to the USSR. The Foreign Commission of the Soviet Writers’ Union had insufficient information about contemporary German literature: new authors and their works, new literary groups, and artistic trends were not known in the USSR. The first West German guests of the Soviet Writers’ Union were little-known authors and journalists, as well as writers who sympathized with the USSR. In 1959, two famous West German authors, Heinrich Böll and Stefan Andres, were invited to the Third USSR Writers’ Congress. Böll refused the invitation, and Andres came to the USSR unofficially. In Moscow, Andres succeeded in meeting with the German Ambassador to the USSR to touch upon cooperation between West German and Soviet writers. Hermann Kasack, one of the most prominent German writers, was also in Moscow in the autumn of 1959, at the invitation of his son, an employee of the German embassy, and took part in the organization of the first Moscow delegation to the FRG in 1960.
To the History of A. Blok’s Response to the UFF Questionnaire (1918): Based on the Correspondence of F. Sologub, S. Kondurushkin and Others
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Fedotova Svetlana V.
Published: June 2024

The article examines A. Blok’s response to a questionnaire of the Union of Fiction Figures (UFF), written in May 1918 for a one-day newspaper on the theme “The Ways for the Revival of Russia” (not published). The analysis of the state of the issue reveals insufficient study level of the history of the text and contradictory information about it in the research literature. The article proposes to analyze Blok’s note in the context of his attitude to the UFF in 1918 on the material of unknown correspondence between Union activists (F. Sologub, S. Kondurushkin, An. Chebotarevskaya, etc.). The published set of letters for the first time makes it possible to concretize the history of the making of UFF, to reconstruct the main idea of the newspaper, and the reasons that prevented its implementation. It turns out that in addition to objective reasons (closing of non-Bolshevik publications, problems with printers), there were also internal ones, in particular, the refusal of the newspaper editor to further edit because of the heterogeneity of the collected material. The article assumes that Blok’s note played no last role in this decision since the poet deliberately contradicted the main idea of the newspaper by replacing the survey question “What should a Russian citizen do now?” with the one “What should an artist do now?” The presented research proves that Blok’s “answer” was of polemical way, firstly, towards the creative intelligentsia protesting against the Bolsheviks; and secondly, towards the writers who declared a boycott of him after the publishing of his poem “The Twelve.”

Introdução: Visando correlacionar tensões de crescimento com propriedades das madeiras, o objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar a densidade e parâmetros de retratibilidade da madeira tropicais produzidas em sistemas agroflorestais na Amazônia em função de leituras obtidas pelas deformações residuais longitudinais (DRL). Metodologia: O SAF avaliado foi implantado em Ouro Preto do Oeste/RO. Foram avaliadas árvores de mogno africano (Khaya senegalensis), freijó (Cordia goeldiana), paricá (Schizolobium amazonicum) e teca (Tectona grandis). Essas árvores compõem um SAF com espécies de cultivos agrícolas entre os renques. Nas espécies madeireiras foram realizadas leituras de DRL com a árvore em pé, utilizando extensômetro (Growth Stran Gauge). Em seguida, essas árvores foram derrubadas para as seguintes avaliações da madeira: densidade básica; contrações linear, tangencial, radial e volumétrica; e coeficiente de anisotropia. Essas propriedades foram correlacionadas com a DRL para modelagem estatística. Resultados: As espécies apresentaram DRL entre 0,24 e 0,62 mm. Mogno africano e freijó apresentaram os maiores valores, sugerindo maior influência das tensões de crescimento devido à porção de lenho juvenil. Paricá e teca apresentaram menores valores, por isso pode-se inferir que as árvores dessas espécies com 19 anos tendem a apresentar características de madeira adulta nas periferias do fuste. A DRL não apresentou correlação com as propriedades físicas das madeiras, podendo indicar que as árvores possuem madeira adulta, que sofrem menor influência das tensões internas de crescimento. Conclusão: Árvores cultivadas em SAF apresentam características positivas para a produção de madeiras tropicais. Aos 19 anos, suas propriedades físicas não são afetadas pelas tensões de crescimento

Conclui-se, portanto, que a atuação do cirurgião-dentista na reabilitação do paciente oncológico pode contribuir para a devolução de funções do sistema estomatognático e da estética facial, melhorando os aspectos psicossociais e colaborando para a reinserção do indivíduo na sociedade.
Impact of EEG Reference Schemes on Event-Related Potential Outcomes: A Corollary Discharge Study Using a Talk/Listen Paradigm
Authors: samantaray subham , Bose Anushree , S Umesh , VS Sreeraj , Das Manul , PC Justin , Keshavan Muralidharan , Venkatasubramanaian Ganesan , Goyal Nishant
Published: June 2024

The choice of the virtual reference schema is critical to determining
the outcome of Event-Related Potentials (ERP) studies assessing
corollary discharge(CD) non-invasively. This study focuses on ERP,
specifically examining the effects of EEG reference schemas—Linked
Mastoids (LM), Common Average Reference (CAR), and Reference Electrode
Standardization Technique (REST)—on auditory N1 (talk and listen
condition) amplitudes and their derivative, the Corollary Discharge
Index (CDI). Twenty healthy participants engaged in a talk/listen ERP
task; continuous EEG data was collected to assess the impact of
different offline re-referencing schemas on auditory N1 responses and
associated CDI values. Our results indicated significant variances in N1
amplitudes across the three reference schemas. The LM schema
demonstrated the highest N1 amplitudes and CDI values, suggesting a more
effective capture of CD signaling during speech production tasks. In
contrast, the CAR schema recorded the lowest values, indicating reduced
sensitivity, while the REST schema provided a balanced approach with
intermediate sensitivity, potentially mitigating the biases inherent in
the other two schemas. These findings highlight the crucial role of
reference schema selection in influencing ERP outcomes, with potential
implications for both research and clinical diagnostics in auditory and
neuropsychiatric conditions. Further studies are encouraged to explore
these findings with higher-density EEG arrays and to extend analyses to
clinical populations to validate the utility of LM, CAR, and REST in
different diagnostic contexts. This study advances our understanding of
EEG referencing impacts on ERP measurements and suggests optimised
strategies for assessing neural mechanisms underlying auditory
processing and corollary discharge signalling.

Objective The impact of age of diabetes diagnosis on dementia risk across the life course is poorly characterized. We estimated the lifetime risk of dementia by age of diabetes diagnosis. Research design and methods We included 13,087 participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study who were free from dementia at age 60 years. We categorized participants as having middle-age onset diabetes (diagnosis <60 years), older onset diabetes (diagnosis ≥ 60 years), or no diabetes. Incident dementia was ascertained via adjudication and active surveillance. We used the cumulative incidence function estimator to characterize the lifetime risk of dementia by age of diabetes diagnosis while accounting for the competing risk of mortality. We used restricted mean survival time to calculate years lived without and with dementia. Results Among 13,087 participants, there were 2,982 dementia cases and 4,662 deaths without dementia during a median follow-up of 24.1 (p25 17.4, p75 28.3) years. Persons with middle-age onset diabetes had a significantly higher lifetime risk of dementia than those with older onset diabetes (36.0% versus 31.0%). Compared to those with no diabetes, participants with middle-age onset diabetes also had a higher cumulative incidence of dementia by age 80 years (16.1% versus 9.4%), but a lower lifetime risk (36.0% versus 45.6%) due to shorter survival. Persons with middle-age onset diabetes developed dementia 4 and 1 years earlier than those without diabetes and those with older onset diabetes. Conclusions Preventing or delaying diabetes may be an important approach for reducing dementia risk throughout the life course.

Windows 11 is one of the products launched by Microsoft. When this research was made, Windows 11 only had 15.54% of global users. Even though the number of users is still much less than Windows 10, which reached 70.3%, in the future the adoption rate of Windows 11 will continue to increase. However, behind the continued increase in adoption, there are problems experienced by users that make users feel uncomfortable when using it, such as the operating system running slowly and applications not running properly. This problem can affect the user experience. This research aims to determine the level of user experience experienced by users using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) method. This research obtained a total of 117 respondents who were shared via social media. Based on the results obtained from respondents, the Windows 11 operating system received a positive evaluation value which, if sorted from the highest, was in the Attractiveness aspect of 1.21, Clarity of 1.12, Stimulation of 1.01, Efficiency of 0.95, and Accuracy of 0.89.
