Authors: Chourasiya Kuldeep , Kumar Chakraborty Anup
Published: August 2024

Efforts were made in the current work to create a method for the simultaneous estimation of Candesartan and Simvastatin by UV-spectrophotometry method employing simultaneous equation approach. In this approach ethanol was used as a solvent to check the solubility of both the drugs. At 200-400nm wavelengths, 16μg/mL prepared diluted stock solution each of both the drugs were scanned and estimated using methanol as blank. From the overlain spectra, by the observation of spectral characteristics of Candesartan and simvastatin were selected for simultaneous estimation. For simvastatin and candesartan 239nm as well as 262nm wavelength has been chosen respectively. As per ICH guidelines all analytical methods were validated. In this approach, the linearity value of both the drugs (Candesartan and Simvastatin) were found in the concentration range of 5-17.5 μg/mL and 3 – 10.5μg/ml respectively. The correlation coefficient (r2) value was obtained 0.999 for both the drugs. Candesartan and Simvastatin percentage recovery was found to be 99.26% and 97.48%. For intra and interday precision, percentage RSD value was found to be 0.99 and 1.7 (Intraday) as well as 1.0 and 1.78 (Interday). The intraday and interday relative standard deviation (RSD) values obtained by the proposed method are within 2% relative standard deviations. The LOD for candesartan and Simvastatin were found to be 0.258 μg/ml and 0.278μg/ml, and LOQ 0.784μg/ml and 0.84μg/ml respectively. Through the study of the candesartan and simvastatin solution in 0.1 NHCl using various glassware, the robustness of the established approach demonstrates a non-significant influence of the absorption level and the developed method's robustness was proven when the results were tested at various temperatures and when the results did not significantly alter when the analyst was switched.

The study medicine is a multi-ingredient formulation composed of various herbs. It is suggested for the treatment of pyrexia and pain, as stated in classical literature. The study was designed to assess the effectiveness of the experimental medicine in reducing fever and pain in several animal models used for experimentation. Rats at 150 and 300 mg/kg bw were tested for antipyretic effectiveness in the yeast-induced pyrexia model compared to paracetamol (70 mg/kg bw p.o). The efficacy of the tested formulation in relieving pain was assessed using an acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice at dosage of 300 and 600 mg/kg bw, whereas diclofenac sodium was used as the standard control at a dose of 15 mg/kg bw orally. The analgesic effects in rats were evaluated using Eddy's hot plate test. Test drug was administered at doses of 150 and 300 mg/kg bw, whereas buprenorphine was used as the standard control at a dose of 0.10 mg/kg via subcutaneous injection. Animals that received a high dose (300 mg/kg bw) of the medication showed a substantial (<0.001) decrease in rectal temperature 60 minutes after treatment, compared to the normal control group. The identical dosage also resulted in a decrease in rectal temperature at the 120-minute time point when compared to the normal control group, however this difference did not reach statistical significance. Both tested dosage levels exhibited analgesic effect in the acetic-induced writhing test, resulting in a reduction of writhes by 36.71% and 68.71% respectively, compared to the normal control. Therefore, based on the aforementioned discovery, it can be inferred that the tested formulation exhibits antipyretic and analgesic properties.

Using a 4-sector input-output model to assess unrealized economic growth potential
Authors: Vodomerov Nikolay
Published: August 2024

The economic policy of the Russian leadership is subject to various criticisms in domestic publications. At the same time, as a rule, there are no quantitative estimates of growth reserves unrealized during its implementation and an analysis of possible ways to use them, which is necessary for making informed decisions for the future. The purpose of the study: to determine ways to accelerate the development of the Russian economy based on studying the economic growth potential that was unrealized in the previous period. Tasks:
- build a simulation model describing the process of social reproduction in Russia in the period 2005-2019;
- on its basis, draw up growth trajectories that were objectively possible at that time, which would allow accelerating economic development;
- identify urgent changes in government regulation of the economy necessary for a more complete realization of development potential.
Methods of mathematical statistics and simulation modeling were used. Information base: official statistics data characterizing the state of the Russian economy. The study period is determined by the availability of comparable statistical indicators. Results. A four-sector model of the inter-industry balance has been constructed, describing the reproduction process in 2005-2019. On its basis, possible trajectories of balanced development during that period were compiled. It has been established that with a different economic policy, Russia could have become a net exporter of instruments of labor as early as 2013, and the growth rate would have increased significantly without increasing raw material exports and increasing the size of the labor force. Conclusions: the existing system of state regulation, conditioned by relations of appropriation, prevents the country from entering a trajectory of high growth rates; the organization of state planning is necessary as a means of resolving the contradictions generated by capitalist property; state regulation of the economy should be based on the construction and systematic implementation of long-term trajectories of balanced development. The scope of application of the results is the study of issues of social reproduction and economic policy of the state. Directions for future research: detailing the model used and its application for forecasting and constructing trajectories of economic development.
Redundancy and limitation of capitalist market production
Authors: Rossinskiy Viktor
Published: August 2024

The consumer retains for his use, as a rule, a standardized set of objects, based on their use properties, and takes into account the exchange values of goods only from the point of view of the possibility of their purchase with income. This means that the quantitative relations in the production and exchange of commodities are determined not decisively by the costs of production, but by the normalized ratios in consumption, therefore both the exchange and the production of commodities must end with the satisfaction of the required ratios in consumption, and therefore the thesis about the exchange property of commodities as a measure of labor initially seems to be inconsistent with the required ratios in consumption. Here we find a seemingly insoluble contradiction between the labor theory of value and utility rates. The theory of utility, as a theory of exchange property, is rejected by logical reasoning. This situation needs to be resolved. The issue is solved through the redundancy of production capacities and goods. The price of the issue is a significant, but not yet fully comprehensible redundancy in the use of production, commodity, natural reserves, damage to nature. Nevertheless, the excess of production capacities and commodities causes an equalization of the ratio of the expenditure of the fixed and the actual expenditure of variable capital, which leads to the equalization of the profitability of capitals, and the result is that consumer goods are exchanged at the expenditure of variable capital, which presupposes the adoption of the labor theory of value. However, the equalization of profitability at the expense of redundancy narrows the range of favorability for the use of natural resources and limits the possibilities of inter-level division of labor.

The Kashmir Conflict and Sino-Indian Rivalry: Geopolitics of the Belt and Road Initiative
Authors: Al-Badawi Habib
Published: August 2024

In the tumultuous decades following the British withdrawal from the Indian subcontinent, a critical fault line has emerged between India and Pakistan, with the Kashmir conflict standing as the most intractable and volatile of these disputes. This long-simmering crisis reached its zenith during the Cold War era, as both the Soviet and American blocs sought to leverage Asia's strategic significance to their respective advantages.

With the collapse of the Iron Curtain and the dawn of American unipolar dominance on the global stage, China has emerged as the preeminent contender for a multipolar world order. Consequently, the competition between Beijing and New Delhi for regional and international influence has intensified, characterized by each side's concerted efforts to disrupt the other's growth and sway in the crucible of Central Asia, while Washington plays its intricate game from afar.

China, as a principal beneficiary of globalization policies, has sought to extend its reach through the ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). However, India has remained a formidable obstacle to Beijing's overland expansion, consistently obstructing its grand designs. Compounding these tensions, China views India's participation in the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue mechanism, alongside the United States, Japan, and Australia, as a thinly veiled conspiracy to impede its ascent as a global power.

In this study, we delve into the intricate complexities of the Kashmir issue, illuminating its historical roots and contemporary ramifications. Furthermore, we elucidate China's strategic alliance with Pakistan, unveiling India's multifaceted response within the framework of a perpetual "challenge and response" paradigm. Through this comprehensive analysis, we aim to shed light on the intricate interplay of geopolitical forces shaping the region's volatile dynamics.

The Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) is known for its simple structure, easy implementation, and few control parameters, but it has problems such as slow convergence, local optimization of capture, and late reduction of population diversity. To address these shortcomings, this paper proposes fusing three different strategies. Firstly, the African vulture algorithm is combined with the GWO to exploit the fast convergence speed and high accuracy of the African vulture algorithm in finding the best solution. Secondly, the leading wolf guidance strategy is introduced to increase population diversity. Finally, adaptive weights are added to dynamically adjust the search step size and balance the global and local search ability of the GWO. The proposed algorithm is validated through testing on 23 benchmark test functions, demonstrating its superior performance. For millimeter-wave large-scale MIMO systems, a deep convolutional neural network is used for channel estimation, using the correlation between space and frequency to simultaneously input the corrupted channel matrix of adjacent subcarriers into the convolutional neural network. Furthermore, we address the drawbacks of manually setting the hyperparameters of convolutional neural networks, which may lead to overfitting and large errors. Therefore, we propose to use the improved grey Wolf algorithm (AVGWO) of African vulture to find the hyperparameters of the convolutional neural network model and improve the accuracy of the model prediction channel.

In order to solve the problems such as the difficulty in obtaining the relevant data of the relative angular velocity of the target encapsulated in the fire control system in real time during training, the inability of single data points in the fire control system to reflect the relationship between the operator’s operation and the changes in the target’s position within the sight, low accuracy in evaluating steady target tracking training, and the lack of specificity in training guidance, this paper proposes to use the target recognition technology to measure the aiming deviation angle generated by the relative angular velocity of the target. By comparing this with the output voltage signal curve from the control console, a tracking stability curve is generated. Furthermore, by identifying the aimed target and comparing it with the center coordinates of the stored image, an aiming accuracy curve is produced. The tracking stability curve and aiming accuracy curve obtained from this study can be used to comprehensively evaluate the operation skills of the operator in the process of aiming and steady tracking target, and this is applied to the design of a training and evaluation system for steady tracking target, thereby improving the scientific evaluation and targeted effective guidance for operator training.

The construction of knowledge graphs for spatialization experts represents a significant research domain within the field of spatial knowledge service platforms. This study aims to resolve the prevalent issues of low entity disambigation accuracy and the inadequate representation of spatial knowledge in conventional expert knowledge graphs. Focusing on the discipline of surveying and mapping, the paper introduces a novel approach to entity disambiguation that synergizes methods for unknown institutional entity resolution with community detection predicated on co-authorship networks. Additionally, by integrating principles pertinent to spatial knowledge organization, the paper enhances the traditional expert knowledge graph with a spatial dimension and formulates a strategic framework for the visualization of knowledge maps. The proposed techniques for entity disambiguation and expert knowledge graph visualization furnish viable references for the development and deployment of knowledge graphs within the survey.

This article focuses on the grasping method of stacked parts in industrial production processes. Firstly, a 3D vision grasping system based on the U-Robot is designed. Then, in order to improve the accuracy of robot grasping, a kinematic model of the robot is established, and the robot’s hand eye calibration is completed. After the target is recognized by the 3D vision system, the optimal grasping pose is calculated, and then the optimal grasping pose is used as the target point to plan the optimal path for the robot to grasp, and then guide the robot to complete the grasping. In the simulation stage, this paper takes the outer ring of the bearing on the actual production line as the grasping object, builds an experimental platform, and completes the simulation of recognition and grasping. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper improves the recognition accuracy of stacked parts and the planning efficiency of grasping paths.

Effective management and reuse of existing embedded software knowledge is vital for enhancing development efficiency. To better reuse embedded software knowledge, embedded software intellectual property is designed. Embedded software IP refers to a collection of reusable knowledge entities with intellectual property. Software IP knowledge base has been designed and implemented to store and manage software IP efficiently. The architecture design based on the microservice architectural pattern makes the IP knowledge base flexible and extensible. Specifically, considering software IP’s characteristics and usage requirements, microservice boundaries has been defined and comprehensive architectural design and program implementation has been conducted. Within the knowledge base, IP design, IP management, IP view, retrieval and recommendation, user management, and file management service of software IP are distributed to multiple service instances. The approach reduces coupling between different modules, balances distributed loads within the system, and enhances the overall capacity of the system. It lays the groundwork for the widespread application of embedded software IP.

Feygina and colleagues (2010, Study 3) reported that people who prefer the status quo can be encouraged towards pro-environmental responses when environmental protection is framed as protecting the current way of life. We report a preregistered close replication and extension of this work (N = 567). When all participants are made to feel dependent on the country they live in, we did not find evidence that the association between system justification and environmental intentions depended on whether participants read a system-preservation or control message, but the likelihood of signing petitions did. Among participants assigned to a second control condition, who were not exposed to any message, there was a negative association between system justification and pro-environmental behaviour intentions, raising the possibility that both original study conditions attenuated this association. Our findings highlight both the importance of replication and the inclusion of a true control condition, and they raise the possibility that leveraging an audience’s existing values may not always mobilise pro-environmental actions. In the case of ideological opposition to the status quo, a system dependence message could depress otherwise high pro-environmental responses.
