Authors: Deshpande Soham , Kethar Jothsna , Appavu, Ph.D Rajagopal
Published: April 2024

In our world today, many neurodegenerative diseases are being studied and thoroughly evaluated. Scientists attempt to understand these diseases to a greater extent every day, researching possible causes and cures. In particular, a disease called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that still elicits uncertainty, with many underlying causes and no current cure. Those with ALS experience motor neuron degeneration, the root source of ALS. This degeneration of motor neurons leads to paralysis, or the inability to move due to a loss of muscle function by impaired neural messaging. In a specific branch of ALS, familial ALS (fALS), motor neuron degeneration is caused by specific genetic mutations in an individual that were passed on by hereditary nature. This research identifies four genes that hold the genetic mutations responsible for fALS: SOD1, TARDBP, FUS, and C9orf72. Of these many genes, this research identified their corresponding mutational contributions to motor neuron degeneration like oxidative stress, protein aggregation, and other causes. Along with the analysis of the problematic genetic mutations, this study sheds light on next generation sequencing (NGS) as a way to efficiently scan for genetic mutations, as well as CRISPR-Cas9 gene therapy as a possible cure for fALS in the future of neurodegenerative study. Overall, this research aims to narrow in on fALS and demonstrates a comprehensive analysis of the specific gene mutations that take place, the significance of each in the overall progression of ALS and motor neuron degeneration, and future possibilities for next-generation sequencing and gene therapy.
Effect of Cultural Priming on Asian American Females' Internalization of Mainstream Beauty Standards
Authors: Kim Haelang
Published: April 2024

Westernization and patriarchal values implied in American society may cause young female Asian Americans living in the United States to be pressured to internalize the idealized, mainstream depiction of female beauty. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of cultural priming on the degree of media internalization. Data were collected by online surveys with questionnaires of self-esteem, ethnic identity, media internalization, and response to cultural cues from Asian American females of ages 15 to 24 on July 28-August 12, 2023. Two versions of the survey were created to incorporate Asian cultural cues in one, and American cultural cues in the other. The 60 respondents were randomly assigned to either version, resulting in 30 respondents for each version. Questionnaire responses of 60 respondents were gathered, and all 60 were analyzed. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, t-test, ANOVA, linear regression, and multiple regression. Results showed that the impact of cultural priming on media internalization was statistically not significant, while self-esteem, a distinct factor that was found to have associations with cultural priming and media internalization separately, had a significant negative association with media internalization. Further studies need to compare the self-esteem in women of different minority races in the United States to explore the effects of self-esteem on media internalization across groups of young women with different traditional customs and expectations.

PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES FOR THE TEACHER ACCORDING TO THE PEDAGOGY OF COMPETENCIES APPROACH
Authors: EL ORABI Mhamed
Published: April 2024

The teaching profession, like other professions, has come under pressure from the rapid and astonishing development that societies in all fields know. At the educational level, rapid changes occurred in the educational process with all its components, including objectives, programmes, methods, means, evaluation, teachers, and learners. In light of this change, new roles were formed, especially the roles of the teacher, which change with the change of the elements of the educational and learning process and their interaction with each other to form patterns of knowledge, behaviors and skills through the new curricula that paint a picture or feature of the future of individuals and then society. In this aspect, it was necessary to reconsider the composition of the teacher as an element of the teaching-learning process, and a basic structure of his builders, interacting with it in a dynamic manner because the image of the teacher is the image of his society. Hence, it turns out that the teacher’s task according to this approach is not only concerned with knowledge and academic content, but has become a guide, activator and facilitator, which provides the opportunity for the student to become a participant, but rather to become the actor in every educational and learning situation. Therefore, the teacher who undertakes the task of developing competencies for his students should have a set of competencies and qualifications to help him perform his role. Therefore, the necessary systemic vision on the basis of which the entrance to teaching competencies should be built should take two correlative paths: 1- Teaching competencies: those related to learning or learner competencies, which have become an urgent and essential requirement for the development and improvement of learning outcomes. 2- Teaching competencies: These are related to the didactic teaching competencies of the teacher, which would achieve high profitability and quality at the school level and the educational system

Authors: MOUDDENE Mamoune
Published: April 2024

If the law is concerned only with social ties, then there are freedoms that are subject to regulation, those whose effects extend to society, in the sense that its exercise affects the freedom of others or the interests of the group, and these freedoms are those related to the field of private activities and organized professions, such as freedom to work with its professional dimension Because it is not one of the privacy of the individual, but rather goes beyond that to society and to power itself. Freedoms whose effects extend beyond the individual to society and to power cannot be absolute, otherwise they would turn into chaos and carry with it the prostitution and aggression against the state and the freedoms of others. Therefore, it must be organized without leading to its denunciation or derogation from it, provided that the issue of its organization is entrusted to Parliament as a representative of the will of the people, just as the authority of Parliament in this regard cannot be absolute power, but rather is constrained by objective constitutional controls and restrictions that impose on it not to diminish From it and not confiscate it, and it just has to organize it in a way that makes it more effective. The legal regulation of freedom must ensure the balance, as far as possible, between the right of the individual to exercise his freedom and the restrictions that Parliament considers to be imposed, that is, achieving a balance between the freedoms that the individual needs and the authority that is indispensable and to the extent that prosperity is achieved for society and the individual. This balance is necessary for all Freedom, which is more binding on some public freedoms that are closely related to democracy, such as freedom of work and opinion, freedom of the press, and freedom of assembly And from it, how can a balance be achieved between the legislative organization of public freedoms and its practice in the field of private activities and regulated professions.

A Deep Reinforcement Learning Strategy for MEC Enabled Virtual Reality in Telecommunication Networks
Authors: Manukonda Kodanda Rami Reddy
Published: April 2024

One of the most anticipated features of 5G and subsequent networks is wireless virtual reality (VR), which promises to transform human interaction via its immersive experiences and game-changing capabilities. Wireless virtual reality systems, and VR games in particular, are notoriously slow due to rendering issues. But most academics don't care about data correlation or real-time rendering. Using mobile edge computing (MEC) and mmWave-enabled wireless networks, we provide an adaptive VR system that enables high-quality wireless VR. By using this architecture, VR rendering operations may be adaptively offloaded to MEC servers in real-time, resulting in even greater performance advantages via caching.The limited processing power of VR devices, the need for a high quality of experience (QoE), and the small latency in VR activities make it difficult to connect wireless VR consumers to high-quality VR content in real-time. To solve these problems, we provide a wireless VR network that is enabled by MEC. This network makes use of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to provide real-time predictions about each user's field of vision (FoV). It is feasible to simultaneously move the rendering of virtual reality material to the memory of the MEC server. To improve the long-term VR users' quality of experience (QoE) while staying within the VR interaction latency limitation, we provide decoupling deep reinforcement learning algorithms that are both centrally and distributedly run, taking into consideration the connection between requests' fields of vision and their locations. When compared with rendering on VR headsets, our proposed MEC rendering techniques and DRL algorithms considerably improve VR users' long-term experience quality and reduce VR interaction latency, according to the simulation results.

According to this study, employee engagement is antecedent to work qualities, career development perceptions, and organisational support perceptions, all of which are related to employee performance. This study employed a quantitative technique as its methodology. The research population for this study consisted of staff members of four-star hotels located in NAGPUR. Purposive sampling is the method of sampling that was employed in this study. The process of choosing respondents for purposeful sampling involves considering their attributes and choosing individuals who possess the most knowledge about the subject under investigation. In order to quantify the link between the constructs and test the conceptual model, the Structural Equation Model (SEM) was created for this study. This study did not find a strong enough correlation between perceived organisational support and employee involvement, indicating that the link between perceived organisational support and employee engagement was favourable but not statistically significant. This study found solid evidence supporting the association between work features and employee involvement, indicating a positive and significant influence between the two variables. This study indicates that there is a positive and significant connection between organisational justice and employee engagement. The association between organisational justice and employee involvement has reasonably high support. The results of this study provide strong evidence for the positive and significant association that exists between employee engagement and performance.

Customer satisfaction reflects how effectively needs are met and expectations are exceeded through supplier responses. Achieving it hinges on fostering a strong overall relationship between the customer and the supplier. In today's competitive business landscape, customer satisfaction stands as a vital performance metric and a key factor setting apart business strategies. Therefore, higher levels of customer satisfaction correlate with increased business success and stronger customer connections. Customer loyalty refers to a customer's inclination to continue doing business with a specific supplier and regularly purchase their products or services. This loyalty typically emerges when a customer is highly satisfied with the supplier's offerings, leading them to return for future transactions or consistently choose a particular product or brand from that supplier

The quality and safety of medications are crucial to public health and well-being. Responding to the critical need for medication information provenance and anti-counterfeiting, this study proposes blockchain based solutions for medication information storage, inquiry and anti-counterfeiting along the medicinal supply chain. Leveraging the features of decentralized, tamper proof, traceability nod maintenance of blockchain technology, the proposed methodology can assure the transparency and openness of medicinal supply chains. An access control policy model based on smart contracts is designed to prevent medication information from being altered or disclosed at nodes of blockchain. In addition to smart contracts, Practical byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) is used. The proposed solution eliminates the need for centralized institutions and third-party organizations to provide a full record of medication circulation process. The result is, our method can render high level of security and privacy that is crucial to integrity of a medication information management system

People nowadays suffer from a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. It is challenging to properly prescribe a diet in modern world. When a body does not obtain enough nutrients, it might develop nutritional disorders, which can cause a number of different health issues. Chronic conditions including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and others can be caused on by dietary deficiencies or excesses of particular nutrients as well as eating disorders. Primary root cause of these conditions is typically an inadequate or improper diet. We propose a diet suggestion system in this study that takes the user’s physics details and symptoms into account. Machine learning methods (KNN) are used in this study. The system predicts the proposed meal plan for a user by leveraging its training data, which comprises daily calorie requirements and food consumption patterns. According to the evaluation of the dataset, the suggested model outperforms existing diet recommendation systems. Analyzing the user’s dietary and nutritional requirements, the suggested system generates a prediction about the meal plan. It could result in a customized food plan for each person and promote better health
