An Energy Efficient and Scalable WSN with Enhanced Data Aggregation Accuracy
Authors: Saadallah Noor Raad , Alabady Salah Abdulghai
Published: May 2024

This paper introduces a method that combines the K-means clustering genetic algorithm (GA) and Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression techniques to enhance the efficiency of data aggregation in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The main goal of this research is to reduce energy consumption, improve network scalability, and enhance data aggregation accuracy. Additionally, the GA technique is employed to optimize the cluster formation process by selecting the cluster heads, while LZW compresses aggregated data to reduce transmission overhead. To further optimize network traffic, scheduling mechanisms are introduced that contribute to packets being transmitted from sensors to cluster heads. The findings of this study will contribute to advancing packet scheduling mechanisms for data aggregation in WSNs in order to reduce the number of packets from sensors to cluster heads. Simulation results confirm the system's effectiveness compared to other compression methods and non-compression scenarios relied upon in LEACH, M-LEACH, multi-hop LEACH, and sLEACH approaches.
Beyond the Hemp House: Exploring potential for the deployment of hempcrete in Aotearoa’s medium-density housing
Authors:   , Murray Mike
Published: May 2024

Aotearoa New Zealand is in the grasp of dual housing and climate crises. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2023) Assessment Report, it is imperative that we reduce emissions by up to 50% in the next seven years.

Hempcrete is a bio-aggregate construction material derived from the fibre of industrial hemp plants, and typically mixed with a mineral-based binder. At the time of writing, most if not all hempcrete buildings in NZ are single-detached houses. This thesis explores the potential of hempcrete as a tool to radically redefine the future of sustainable housing in NZ, focussing on medium-density housing typologies, rather than the idealised single-detached dwelling.

Broad research is conducted on hempcrete’s performance, feasibility, socio-political uptake barriers, and NZ’s current and shifting building practices and regulations. Additionally, qualitative data on peoples' perceptions of hempcrete as a visible material in the home is generated through a participatory research exhibition. A hands-on exploratory making process generates a range of hempcrete samples for the exhibition, for participants to interact with. Subsequently, the applicability of hempcrete in current NZ medium-density housing is tested, through an exercise of re-developing an existing three-storey building design, adopting a hempcrete structural insulated panel system. The combined research outcomes contextualise and demonstrate the valuable role that hempcrete can play in a future low-carbon, healthy and climate-resilient housing stock for NZ.
Raving with Equality? On Protean Forms of Caste and Gender in the Women’s/Gender Studies Departments in India
Authors: Patil Smita M.
Published: May 2024

Women’s and gender studies in the twenty-first century have transformed the question of theory and praxis across the globe. As a discipline, it is waging its struggle against diverse forms of power and patriarchy. Women’s studies in India started its own unique trajectory from the 1970s onwards. However, Dalit feminism critiqued the metanarrative of Indian feminism in the 1990s. Dalit feminists argued that they are oppressed on the basis of caste, class and gender. Dalit feminism subverted the internal and external patriarchy through its own powerful methodology and tropes. It debunked the partial, Brahminic, Indian feminism and its conspicuous silence on the relations of caste, gender, class and patriarchy. Dominant feminists included Dalit feminist discourse in the curriculum in a patronising fashion. Paradoxically, the social composition of those academicians was confined to the upper caste/class locations. This article engages with the experiences of Dalit women academicians who teach in the department of women’s and gender studies in India. It explores forms and practices of caste, class, and gender discrimination in such departments. These forms of domination and subordination show the contradiction between practice and theory. It reflects on the moral and ethical positioning to unpack the everyday caste violence that operates in the educational institutions. It maps the politics of women’s and gender studies in India. This article analyses the possibilities and impossibilities related to Dalit feminist engagement with capabilities and intersectional approaches in women’s and gender studies in India. The main thrust is to examine the real and utopian dimensions of the assertions of Dalit women academicians.

Para neutralizar uma parte das emissões de Gases de Efeito Estufa (GEE) na cidade de São Paulo, tem-se como alternativa eletrificar a frota de um pouco mais de 13.000 ônibus. Em agosto/2023, apenas 220 ônibus eram elétricos, sendo 201 trólebus, um sistema confiável que está em operação há 74 anos, mas recentemente a Prefeitura anunciou sua pretensão de substituí-lo por ônibus elétricos a bateria (BEB). Ambientalmente sustentáveis os BEB ainda não têm uma operação consolidada no Brasil. Dessa forma, procurou-se mensurar, através de uma revisão bibliográfica, a importância do sistema de trólebus para a cidade de São Paulo. Além disso, verificou-se que mais de uma tonelada de CO2 deixaria de ser emitida todos os meses na cidade com a operação dos trólebus, além de uma economia mensal de aproximadamente R$ 3,034 milhões ou 51% do valor obtido com a redução das desutilidades referentes ao impacto negativo nas comunidades.

Authors: Sarıcı Talha , Özcan Mustafa
Published: May 2024

Vidalı kazıklar kullanımı gittikçe yaygınlaşan zemin iyileştirme yöntemlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmada, doğrusal, üçgen ve kare örüntülü grup halindeki vidalı kazıkların çekme ve basınç kuvveti etkisi altındaki davranışları araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla, literatürde kazıklar üzerinde gerçekleştirilen model deneyler sonlu elemanlar yöntemi ile modellenmiş ve deneysel sonuçlar ile son derece iyi bir uyum elde edilmiştir. Daha sonra deneysel çalışmada kullanılan kazıkların helezon sayısı ve helezon çapları değiştirilerek, helezon sayısı ve çap değişiminin taşıma gücüne etkisi incelenmiştir. Ayrıca vidalı kazıkların yük altındaki davranış ve yenilme yüzeyleri araştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, helezon sayısını arttırmak taşıma gücü kapasitesini önemli ölçüde arttırmıştır. Öyle ki, taşıma gücü açısından, helezon sayısındaki artışın kazık sayısını azaltacak mertebeye geldiği görülmüştür. Ek olarak çap değişiminin de taşıma gücü değerleri üzerinde belirgin bir etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte taşıma gücü artışlarının her örüntüde farklı oranda olduğu belirlenmiştir.
Efeito Münchhausen e processos de subjetivação no discurso midiático sobre o empreendedorismo
Authors: Fernandes Carolina , Silva Freitas Wendell Robertt
Published: May 2024

O artigo busca compreender, através da Análise do Discurso de vertente Materialista, o funcionamento do discurso midiático sobre o empreendedorismo. Para isso, analisamos materialidades textuais jornalísticas e publicitárias direcionadas a possíveis empreendedores. Nas análises, interessou-nos compreender o modo como os textos produzem sentidos para a prática do empreendedorismo e, assim, discursivizam o lugar do sujeito-empreendedor. Em nosso dispositivo teórico-analítico, mobilizamos as noções de discurso, sujeito, esquecimento, formação ideológica e formação discursiva. Por fim, as análises nos possibilitaram compreender que o discurso reproduzido pela mídia se insere em uma formação discursiva pró-empreendedorismo determinada por uma formação ideológica Neoliberal que atua de forma a produzir a ilusão de autonomia do sujeito, reforçando a lógica do efeito Münchhausen sob a qual o sujeito-empreendedor ergue a si e seu negócio por sua própria criatividade e esforços, independendo do contexto sócio-histórico em que esteja inserido.

Published: May 2024

Este artigo apresenta reflexões teórico-práticas para o ensino das sequências narrativa e argumentativa visando ao Sistema Permanente de Avaliação da Educação Básica do Estado do Ceará (SPAECE). Sob a perspectiva teórica da Linguística Textual (ADAM, 2019; CAVALCANTE; BRITO, 2020; MARCUSCHI, 2008; XXX, 2022), este trabalho apresenta possibilidades de ensino e aprendizagem com interação em contexto digital relacionadas a dois descritores relativos a procedimentos de leitura: identificar o tema ou assunto de um texto e distinguir fato de opinião relativa ao fato. A abordagem metodológica é teórico-prática, na medida em que discutimos aspectos teóricos sobre as sequências narrativa e argumentativa e analisamos exemplos de gêneros diversos que podem ser discutidos em sala de aula visando o trabalho com a avaliação externa SPAECE. Nas discussões apresentadas, propomos que o ensino de leitura, sobretudo nas aulas em que se trabalham os descritores em questão, esteja relacionado ao estudo das sequências narrativa e argumentativa.
Da linguagem de uma aventura à aventura da linguagem: estratégias de transmissão da memória em A resistência, de Julián Fuks
Authors: Siqueira Luiz , Rodrigues Maria Aparecida
Published: May 2024

O presente estudo se propõe a desenvolver algumas reflexões sobre as estratégias de transmissão da memória em A resistência, de Júlian Fuks. Para tanto, recorremos à concepção de memória de Candau (2016) e aos pressupostos teóricos de Hutcheon (1984), Lepaludier (2002) e Rodrigues (2015), entre outros. Em A resistência, a partir da invocação da memória familiar, o narrador transita entre afirmar a obra que escreve como ficção e marcá-la de autorreferencialidades. Entre uma coisa e outra, o processo de confecção literária torna-se visível. Portanto, nota-se neste romance de Fuks a recorrência a duas estratégias literárias que viabilizam a transmissão da memória e que se encontram intimamente relacionadas: a auto e a metaficção.
O ensino de português como língua adicional em Guiné-Bissau: um olhar a partir de atividades de leitura e escrita
Authors: Nunes Correia Nuna , Rodrigues Muniz Cellina , Fabiano Campos Sulemi
Published: May 2024

A escolha do português como a língua oficial e, consequentemente, a língua do trabalho e da escolarização se tornou um dos assuntos mais debatido no contexto guineense, porque não é a língua diária e, muito menos, a língua materna da maioria dos alunos que chegam à escola, o que significa que é apenas uma língua que os alunos aprendem por adição, ou seja, uma língua adicional para muitos dos alunos guineenses. É, neste sentido, que, nesta discussão, buscamos analisar o ensino de português como língua adicional a partir das atividades de leitura e escrita dos materiais didáticos Histórias dos avós usados para as aulas de português dos alunos de 4ª série do Ensino Fundamental das escolas guineenses. Para isso, fizemos uma pesquisa documental, com abordagem qualitativa, buscando fundamentar as discussões nos escritos de XXXXXXX (2021) Leffa e Irala (2014) e Antunes (2003). A partir das análises das atividades de leitura e escrita dos materiais didáticos, percebemos que o ensino da língua portuguesa como língua adicional no contexto guineense ainda está baseado na perspectiva tradicional e mecanicista, não proporcionando, ao aluno guineense, as atividades que lhes permitem desenvolver a competência linguística, assim como a comunicativa.

Política em (dis)curso: algumas análises materialistas a respeito do jingle “Capitão do povo”
Authors: Santos Oliveira Daniel
Published: May 2024

O estudo que propomos analisa as condições de produção de um jingle utilizado em campanha eleitoral pelo presidente Jair Bolsonaro, no ano de 2022. A fundamentação teórica filia-se às perspectivas dos estudos discursivos, tal como propostos por Pêcheux (2014) e por Orlandi (2006, 2007, 2015 e 2020); para que seja possível a reflexão a respeito do modo com que o selecionado jingle reproduz sentidos afetando (ou não) o resultado das eleições. Os procedimentos de análise procuram levantar possibilidades de respostas para a pergunta: quais sentidos são (re)produzidos na/pela circulação do jingle “Capitão do povo”? O corpus da presente pesquisa foi transcrito de um vídeo da plataforma Youtube. A análise da transcrição, bem como de um print, deu-nos a ver que o jingle funciona com base na relação Estado-religião, (re)produzindo efeitos de sentidos que buscam discursivizar o candidato em questão como “mito”, “capitão” e “salvador”.

Published: May 2024

Background: Vernal keratoconjunctivitis is a chronic allergic eye disease that primarily affects young individuals and can lead to significant discomfort and visual impairment. Keratopathy, in the context of Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis (VKC), refers to corneal changes and complications that can occur as a result of this chronic allergic eye condition. VKC primarily affects the conjunctiva and the cornea, and keratopathy is a significant concern due to its potential to cause visual impairment. Objective: To determine the frequency of keratopathy in vernal keratoconjunctivitis. Study Design: Cross-sectional. Settings: Sindh Institute of Ophthalmology and visual sciences at LUMHS Eye Hospital Hyderabad Pakistan. Duration: From February 16, to August 15, 2019. Methods: All the patients with VKC, aged 5-15 years and both genders were included.  History was taken from patient or parent about presenting complains and duration of disease. Clinical (slit lamp) examination was performed to look for corneal lesions. Both eyes of each patient were examined for corneal involvement, including SPEE (positive Florescence staining), corneal epithelial defects, corneal shield ulcer and corneal subepithelial scars. Florescence staining with blue filter was used where indicated. All the data was entered in the proforma and analyzed by SPSS version 20. Results: Total 232 patients were studied, most of the patients 84.1%, belonged to age group of 5-10 years, while 15.9% presented with age range of 11-15 years. Males were most common 78.0%.  Frequency of keratopathy was 22.0%. Most of the cases 51.3%, had >1 years duration. According to type of keratopathy, superior punctate epithelial erosions was most common type among 35.3% patients out of 51, scarring was among 24.5% patients, shield ulcer was among 9.8% patients and macro erosion was in 2 patients. No significant impact was found of age on Prevalence of keratopathy, (p-0.419). Male gender, duration of VKC and bilateral eyes were significantly associated with Prevalence of keratopathy, (p-0.001). Conclusion: It was concluded that frequency of keratopathy in vernal keratoconjunctivitis is 22.0%.

Published: May 2024

Background: A substantial portion of autopsies involve fatalities resulting from violent incidents, and one significant contributor to such fatalities is violent asphyxiation. Objective: To determine the pattern of the asphyxial deaths among the forensic autopsies. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Settings: Department of Forensic Mohtrama Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Medical College, Mirpur Azad Jammu Kashmir. Duration: June 2020 to December 2022. Methods: A total of 77 autopsies were classified as asphyxial cases. This data was extracted from forensic autopsy reports and was gathered using a predefined data collection sheet, with consent obtained from the close relatives of dead body. Collected was analyzed through SPSS version 21. Results: Among total autopsies asphyxial deaths were identified in 77(10.26%). There were 17 cases (22.07%) in the 1-12 years category, 16 cases (20.77%) in the 13-18 years category, 37 cases (48.05%) in the ≥19 and <60 years category, and 8 cases (10.38%) in the ≥60 years category. In urban areas, there were 41 cases (53.24%), and in rural areas, there were 36 cases (46.75%) of asphyxial deaths. Among males, drowning accounted for 88.37% of cases, hanging 46.15%, strangulation 66.66%, suffocation 42.85%, and throttling 60.0%. Among females, drowning was 11.62%, hanging 53.84%, strangulation 33.33%, suffocation 57.14%, and throttling 40.0%. Conclusion: Males and young adults having in age range of 19 to 49 years are at a greater risk of becoming victims of fatal asphyxial incidents. Drowning emerged as the predominant asphyxiation mechanism in forensic autopsies, with hanging also accounting for a significant portion of asphyxial fatalities.

Authors: Memon Farrukh Mustafa , Jabeen Hina , Siraj Fauzia , Moeed Khalida , Wazir Noman Ullah , Naheed Kishwar
Published: May 2024

Background: Clubfoot, also known as congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), is a structural deformity that appears early in pregnancy. Objective: To determine the frequency and patterns of congenital talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) deformity in children. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Settings: Department of Anatomy Dow International Medical College, DUHS Karachi Pakistan. Duration: October 2022 to March 2023. Methods: We initiated a prospective study that aimed to investigate congenital anomalies among neonates. We systematically documented the patterns of clubfoot concerning factors such as gender, the affected side, any coexisting congenital anomalies and maternal demographic details as part of our comprehensive analysis. Results: The number of children with clubfoot deformity recorded during the study period was 125 out of total number of all births at hospital during this period. This gave an estimated clubfoot incidence of 1 in 500 per number of births or 2 per 1000 births. Most patients were infants, with 50.4% aged less than 6 months, while 27.2% were between 6 months and 1 year old, and 22.4% were over 1 year old. Gender distribution showed that 56% were male, and 44% were female. Among the patients, 40% had CTEV on the right side, 20% on the left, and an equal number, 40%, had it bilaterally. The majority, 96%, had isolated CTEV, while a smaller percentage, 4%, had CTEV associated with other medical conditions. Conclusion: The occurrence of clubfoot is higher in males than in females. An equal number of cases presented with bilateral and unilateral clubfoot. Notably, the mode of delivery and a positive family history were found to have significant associations with clubfoot. These initial findings are expected to contribute to future studies in both central India and the broader Pakistani population that focus on similar issues.

Introduction to Canadian Terror
Chapter 1 – Homegrown Terrorist Radicalization: The Toronto 18 in Comparative Perspectives
Authors: Dawson Lorne L. , Amarasingam Amarnath
Published: May 2024

Canadian concern with the domestic threat of religious terrorism came of age with the arrest of the members of the Toronto 18 in 2006. This chapter seeks to increase our understanding of this case by placing it in comparative perspective in three ways. First, by arguing that the Toronto 18 represents one of the purest instances of so-called “homegrown terrorism.” Second, by comparing the data available on the ten adults convicted with the data available on similar terrorists in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Findings are examined for age, ethnicity, socio-economic status, education, occupations, criminality, mental health, and family and religious background. Third, insights from two recent and comprehensive theories of the process of radicalization, Lorne Dawson’s “social ecology model” and Arie Kruglanski et al.’s “3 N model” are used to make better sense of what happened and why. In the end, however, much remains unclear because we still lack the appropriate data.
Chapter 2 – A Social Network Analysis of the Toronto 18
Authors: Hofmann David C.

This chapter employs social network analysis in order to empirically explore the communication network established by the Toronto 18 in the three years before their arrest. It provides a basic conceptual overview of the extent, breadth, and nature of ideological and operational communiques between the disparate members within the Toronto 18 to further stimulate scholarly inquiry into similar relational dynamics within analogous terrorist groups. This chapter also provides readers with an understanding of certain group, social, and structural characteristics across three distinct periods: (1) the radicalization phase (January 2003 to October 2005); (2) the winter training camp (November 2005 to December 2005); and (3) the three-month period surrounding the Opasatika property buying trip (January 2006 to March 2006). Research results are then presented and discussed, along with a brief overview of areas for future research.
Chapter 4 – The Infiltration of the Toronto 18: A Conversation with Mubin Shaikh
Authors: Amarasingam Amarnath , Shaikh Mubin
Published: May 2024

This chapter is an edited version of a conversation that occurred in December 2019 between Amarnath Amarasingam and Mubin Shaikh, a confidential human source for Canadian law enforcement related to the Toronto 18 case. Shaikh, having spent an inordinate amount of time with the suspects, has important insights on the group, their friendship dynamics, and their differing levels of radicalization. The chapter also delves into the challenges of infiltration, trust-building with suspects, as well as the risks experienced by those who go undercover. The conversation concludes with Shaikh reflecting on ongoing struggles related to convincing some in the Muslim community in Canada that it was not entrapment and the social and psychological fallout of the whole experience, even after a decade.
Chapter 5 – The Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the Toronto 18 Case
Authors: Carvin Stephanie
Published: May 2024

While it is well known that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) played a key role in the investigation of the Toronto 18 cases, these activities have been left out of the public record. To provide some context for the other contributions in this study, this chapter proceeds by describing the process by which CSIS conducts counter-terrorism investigations – from initial notification of the threat through to cooperating with the RCMP. Although there have been some changes since the mid-2000s, these processes largely remain in place today.
Importantly, while the case of the Toronto 18 was seen as a huge success for Canada’s counter-terrorism capabilities at the time, it also shaped expectations regarding how future threats would be treated. Canadian national security would spend much of the five to seven years after the Toronto 18 arrests looking for the next such group, a threat that never really manifested. In this way, the Toronto 18 may have contributed to bias in understanding an evolving national security threat that was manifesting in the form of lone actors and extremist travel.
Chapter 12 – Policing Entrapment
Authors: Chiao Vincent
Published: May 2024

Entrapment has been a prominent, if rarely successful, defence in terrorism prosecutions. In this chapter, I sketch an egalitarian case for entrapment. On this account, the primary moral significance of entrapment is to prevent the police from generating crimes that would not otherwise have been perpetrated. In a context in which most people are, as Richard McAdams puts it, “probabilistic offenders,” the power of the authorities to control the nature, frequency, and timing of an inducement to crime is the power to make criminals out of ordinary, but fallible, people. Entrapment is a means of constraining this power. In this regard, entrapment stands to undercover policing roughly as abuse of process stands to prosecutorial discretion: as a constraint on how officials choose which individuals to investigate, prosecute and punish. However, since judgments as to when this line is crossed are likely to be contestable, and since what is at issue is typically extraordinary state power used to ensnare particular individuals, I argue that courts should do more to encourage Parliament to regulate undercover policing ex ante rather than rely solely on an entrapment defence applied ex post, for instance by strictly applying an “authorized by law” condition in prosecutions based on undercover investigations.
Chapter 13 – The Dangers of Charter-Proofing the Toronto 18’s Prosecution
Authors: Roach Kent
Published: May 2024

This chapter examines the many failed Charter challenges brought by the Toronto 18. Although the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was added to Canada’s Constitution in 1982 as a response to national security excess, it failed to benefit the Toronto 18 and make the prosecution longer. Charter challenges to mandatory publication bans that some of the Toronto 18 argued prevented them from responding to prejudicial pre-trial publicity failed. Charter challenges to bail conditions and harsh conditions of pre-trial detention – including solitary confinement and prosecutorial use of a direct indictment to pre-empt a preliminary inquiry – also were unsuccessful. Although the courts found that the police had violated various Charter rights in several cases, they never excluded evidence obtained as a remedy. The Toronto 18 had Charter rights, but not Charter remedies. The Supreme Court reversed a trial judge’s decision, not allowing him to decide national security secrecy claims and what evidence could not be disclosed to the accused. Finally, the courts upheld broad terrorism offences as consistent with the Charter. Although the many failed Charter challenges can be seen as producing due process excess and delay, it is argued that the conclusion that the prosecution were consistent with the Charter or “Charter-proof” can blind the public to troubling and problematic aspects of the prosecution and of our broad terrorism laws. It also confirms that even in the Charter era, the executive and the legislature play the dominant roles in the national security context.
Chapter 16 – A Brief History of the Brief History of Citizenship Revocation in Canada
Authors: Macklin Audrey
Published: May 2024

Four of the men convicted as part of the Toronto 18 prosecution were subject to citizenship revocation on grounds of terrorism. One of the four was born in Canada, and the other three immigrated to Canada and acquired citizenship through naturalization. I situate the politics of the four men’s citizenship revocation in legal and comparative context. Contemporary citizenship revocation policies, especially those invoked in the name of national security, serve both instrumental and symbolic goals. I argue that the citizenship revocation scheme enacted in Canada resonated primarily in the register of symbolic politics and lacked virtually any instrumental value related to national security. Its deployment against four of the Toronto 18 was always, and only, a calculated electoral tactic. I conclude by recounting the case of U.K.-Canadian Jack Letts in order to illustrate how citizenship revocation not only infringes fundamental human rights but is dysfunctional from the vantage point of international relations.
