The Impact of Kwazulu-Natal Provincial Language Policy on Sesotho Speakers at Nquthu
Authors: Masowa Aaron Mpho
Published: September 2024

Following the approval of the National Policy Framework and the enactment of Sections 6, 9, and 29 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act No. 108 of 1996), each province in the country was required to create its language policy following the National Language Policy Framework. This was done to give all people residing in that province access to information as informed by Act No. 2 of 2000 as well as The Pan South African Language Board on Act No. 59 of 1995. Following those provisions, the province’s language policy solely encourages the use of the official languages spoken in Kwazulu-Natal, which are Afrikaans, English, isiXhosa, and isiZulu, while marginalizing Sesotho as one of the official languages spoken at Nquthu. The central aim of the study was to investigate the impact of this policy on Basotho speakers at Nquthu, Kwazulu-Natal–South Africa. The study used qualitative document analysis to interpret, explain, and explore issues related to the use of the current language policy at KZN on the Basotho people. The study collected documents from schools and the internet premised on language rights as its theoretical base. The findings of the study indicate that there is no support that Leneha-Tumisi Secondary School is receiving from the district as a result the Basotho residing at Nquthu are faced with the situation of opting for isiZulu as a home language for their children instead of Sesotho. It is recommended that all stakeholders play their part in supporting Basotho at Nquthu.

Authors: Okunlola John Olayemi
Published: September 2024

In the age of digitalization, technology has become a driving force, transforming various sectors, including education. This study investigated the barriers and drivers influencing high school leaders’ engagement with digital technologies in high schools. Through a quantitative research approach, 220 high school leaders from Oyo State, Nigeria, participated in the study, providing data through structured questionnaires. The study’s theoretical framework is anchored on Lewin’s Three-Step Model of Change. Findings revealed significant barriers, such as inadequate training, resistance to change, and budgetary constraints, hindering the seamless integration of digital tools. However, despite these obstacles, leaders are motivated by potential benefits like enhanced communication, improved student outcomes, and future readiness to embrace digital leadership. The study underscores the critical role of leadership in fostering innovation, leveraging technology for strategic decision-making, and driving transformative change in educational institutions. Recommendations include prioritizing continuous professional development, proactively addressing barriers, fostering innovation, and developing clear digital strategies that align with organizational goals. These are crucial for successfully implementing digital leadership initiatives in high schools. This study provides empirical evidence on barriers and drivers influencing digital leadership practices among high school leaders, enriching existing literature on digital transformation and guiding effective strategies.

History in the void: Giuseppe Samonà’s 1967 proposal for Montecitorio competition
Authors: Vujičić Lejla
Published: September 2024

Giuseppe Samonà was one of the most influential figures in 20th century Italian architecture and urban culture. In 1967, Samonà and his team submitted a competition proposal for the extension of the Camera dei deputati in Rome, considered by many to be one of the most significant and conceptually mature projects of his career. By examining the design and the report appended to the competition submittal the author explores the concept of the void that is the backbone of the project and finds that it has a twofold interpretation. Apart from the obvious physical manifestation of emptying, the void is also a meditative device, an incorporeal entity that relies on the body of the new insert to show the complexity of the history of the Roman site. It is in this inversion of the usual interpretation of the concept of void as being independent nothingness that allure of the project itself lies. By presenting the archival material and contemporary research, the author brings into focus a part of Samonà’s extraordinary contribution to the architecture and urban culture of the 20th century that surprisingly remains unrevealed to non-Italian audiences.
Evaluation of noise exposure levels of pedestrians in suburban Chennai, India
Authors: Salim Minu , Saravanan Suriya
Published: September 2024

The study assessed traffic noise exposure levels of citizens walking on the sidewalks at important road crossings in commercial land zone regions of Chennai’s suburbs. The noise data from signalized and unsignalized intersections are collected with a class I sound level meter for peak and non-peak hours from 6 AM to 10 PM. Different noise indices like A-weighted equivalent continuous noise level (Leq), Traffic Noise Index (TNI), Noise Pollution Level (Lnp) and Noise Climate (NC) are calculated and compared with Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB, 2017) and WHO standards. The inhabitants’ noise exposure levels are at an average value of 80–107.1 dB(A) which is alarmingly higher than the threshold levels of 70 dB(A) by WHO. A Risk Exposure Assessment (REA) questionnaire survey conducted on the area revealed that unsafe health situations persist for the public in the study regions.
Behavior of the Position and Ellipticity Angles at Polarization Mode Transitions in Pulsar Radio Emission
Authors: McKinnon M. M.
Published: September 2024

Polarization observations of radio pulsars show that abrupt transitions in the polarization vector’s position angle can be accompanied by large excursions in the vector’s ellipticity angle, suggesting the vector passes near the right or left circular pole of the Poincaré sphere. The behavior of the angles can be explained by a transition in dominance of the orthogonal polarization modes or a vector rotation caused by a change in the phase difference between the modes. Four polarization models are examined to quantify and understand the behavior of the angles at a mode transition: coherent polarization modes, partially coherent modes, incoherent modes with nonorthogonal polarization vectors, and incoherent orthogonal modes with an elliptically polarized emission component. In all four models, the trajectory of the mode transition on the Poincaré sphere follows the geodesic that connects the orientations of the mode polarization vectors. The results from the models can be similar, indicating that the interpretation of an observed transition within the context of a particular model is not necessarily unique. The polarization fraction of the emission and the average ellipticity angle depend upon the statistical character of the mode intensity fluctuations. The polarization fraction increases as the fluctuations increase. The excursion in ellipticity angle can be large when the mode intensities are quasi-stable and is suppressed when the intensity fluctuations are large.

Stars with initial masses larger than 8 M
⊙ undergo substantial mass loss through mechanisms that remain elusive. Unraveling the origins of this mass loss is important for comprehending the evolutionary path of these stars, the type of supernova explosion, and whether they become neutron stars or black hole remnants. In 2022 December, RW Cep experienced the Great Dimming in its visible brightness, presenting a unique opportunity to understand mass-loss mechanisms. Our previous observations of RW Cep from the CHARA Array, taken during the dimming phase, show a compelling asymmetry in the star images, with a darker zone on the west side of the star indicating the presence of dust in front of the star in our line of sight. Here, we present multiepoch observations from CHARA while the star rebrightened in 2023. We created images using three image reconstruction methods and an analytical model fit. Comparisons of images acquired during the dimming and rebrightening phases reveal remarkable differences. Specifically, the west side of RW Cep, initially obscured during the dimming phase, reappeared during the subsequent rebrightening phase, and the measured angular diameter became larger by 8%. We also observed image changes from epoch to epoch while the star is brightening, indicating the time evolution of dust in front of the star. We suggest that the dimming of RW Cep was a result of a recent surface mass ejection event, generating a dust cloud that partially obstructed the stellar photosphere.
New record of Miniopterus magnater (Chiroptera, Miniopteridae) from south-western China and a comparative study of three species of Miniopterus in China
Authors: Qian Yishun , Mou Xin , Wang Wen , Zhang Wenxiang , Li Yuanyuan , Wu Li , Zhao Canjun , Jiao Zhiwei , Li Song
Published: September 2024

This research documents a new record of Miniopterus magnater in the south-western region of China, a significant discovery given the limited diversity of the Miniopterus genus within the country. Only three species of Miniopterus occur in China: Miniopterus magnater, Miniopterus fuliginosus and Miniopterus pusillus. These species share a high degree of morphological similarity, particularly in their external characteristics. This underscores the necessity for the identification of additional distinguishing traits that can aid in the taxonomic differentiation of these closely-related species.

During the 2023 field expedition to various nature reserves in Yunnan Province, China, we encountered specimens of the genus Miniopterus. Utilising a combination of morphological assessments and phylogenetic analyses, we identified six individuals as Miniopterus magnater. A review of the existing geographical distribution data revealed that this species is primarily found in central and southern regions of China, with no previous records from the south-western part of the country. Based on our findings, we present a novel record of Miniopterus magnater's distribution in the south-western region of China.

Aux confins de l’anachronisme
Authors: Rey Jean-Michel
Published: September 2024

L’anachronisme s’impose par ses usages. Péguy montre que l’affaire Dreyfus est, pour certains, l’occasion d’inventer des intentions obsolètes : interventions sur le temps qui minimisent l’affaire. De même, l’idée que cette affaire a été préparée. C’est une création en arrière qu’on retrouve dans la Querelle des historiens allemands. Un tout autre usage analysé par Péguy : la mise en regard d’une Pétition des ouvriers de Saint-Pétersbourg au Tsar, en 1905, et du début d’ Œdipe-Roi . De la ressemblance naît un sens aigu de l’actualité. Bergson analyse la tendance de l’esprit : les vérités mathématiques se détachent de leur histoire et apparaissent éternelles. Cela vaut pour toute forme de vérité. Le romantisme opère rétroactivement, crée après-coup sa préfiguration et son explication. Avec sa notion tardive d’Implexe, Valéry met au jour d’autres formes d’anachronisme faste.
Anachronismes de la mystique
Authors: Le Brun Jacques
Published: September 2024

Jacques Le Brun s’intéressait dans le dernier livre publié de son vivant au Pèlerin chérubinique d’Angelus Silesius, publié en 1657. Il y était sensible à la manière dont cet écrit, tardif dans la littérature spirituelle du xvii e siècle, se donnait comme un traité poétique qui cependant faisait revenir les grands problèmes théologiques qui avaient habité les décennies antérieures. Dans la contribution que nous republions aujourd’hui, quatre ans après sa mort en 2020, Jacques Le Brun mettait en œuvre un retournement de cet anachronisme, en montrant comment cet ouvrage très largement glosé au xx e siècle portait en lui-même, peut-être parce qu’il était déjà tardif, les germes de sa renaissance posthume ; comme si le « trop tard » était devenu un « trop tôt », comme si le dernier chant devenait inaugural pour une époque dans laquelle le passé théologique de l’histoire occidentale venait à être redécouvert. La présentation de cette contribution met en évidence la manière dont Jacques Le Brun faisait vivre avec une acuité particulière, quelques mois avant sa mort, l’une des préoccupations les plus intenses de la dernière période de son activité, qui avait déjà marqué de grands livres antérieurs, celle de concevoir une pensée essentiellement anachronique à l’œuvre dans l’histoire du christianisme, doublement travaillé par la recherche de ses origines et l’imminence de sa disparition.
Campion lecteur de Chénier ?
Authors: Merlin-Kajman Hélène
Published: September 2024

André Chénier, complice de la culture du viol, lorsqu’il récrit une idylle attribuée à Théocrite ? Malgré son anachronisme, le concept récent de « culture du viol » invite opportunément à sortir le viol de l’invisibilité où le tenaient bien des représentations littéraires du passé et leurs commentaires ultérieurs. Mais il risque de bloquer notre imagination historique, de réputer impossibles d’autres legs, qui, lancés dans l’histoire contre toute vraisemblance, ont pourtant dû produire des effets sensibles. Le présent article se propose d’analyser et de suivre ces lignes de temps qui opacifient notre rapport à l’histoire. Nous nous pencherons notamment sur les Mémoires de Campion rédigés au milieu du xvii e  siècle : il adresse à sa descendance (et de là, à nous) une expérience de vie d’où émerge une masculinité singulièrement ouverte au féminin. Au bout de ce trajet, l’imaginer lecteur de ce même poème de Chénier nous invite à troubler la question de départ sans en réfuter la réponse.
Les Bamboulas au XIX e siècle : entre évocation des pratiques nègres et construction du nègre jovial
Authors: Petit Ethel
Published: September 2024

Durant la seconde moitié du XIX e  siècle, de nombreuses bamboulas furent éditées à Paris : ce sont des œuvres instrumentales pour piano et chansons pour voix et piano. À l’origine évoquant un tambour africain, le mot Bamboula fut par la suite employé pour désigner une danse ou un chant nègre. De Louis-Moreau Gottschalk à Olivier Métra, en passant par Henri Chatau ou Marie-Louise Du Fresne de Virel, les compositeurs de Bamboulas sont divers, entre natifs des Amériques ou Français de l’hexagone. Cette édition de partitions de bamboulas au xix e , aurait-elle participé à la redéfinition de ce mot ? Nous évoquons tout d’abord sa signification et son utilisation en Martinique, puis nous abordons quelques pièces musicales qui introduisent le « nègre » dans la musique de salon à Paris. Enfin, nous analysons cette double représentation du « nègre » dans la musique française du xix e siècle.
L’histoire comme critique : le legs méconnu d’Augustin Thierry
Authors: Hulak Florence
Published: September 2024

Avant de devenir un historien de la nation soutenant le régime de Juillet, Augustin Thierry a été un critique virulent du pouvoir étatique. Dans la première partie de son œuvre (1817-1827), il soutient que l’histoire doit être écrite du point de vue des vaincus. Cet article met en lumière l’originalité du mode d’écriture de l’histoire associé à cette thèse. Thierry instaure un lien inédit entre connaissance historique et critique politique, qui les transforme l’une et l’autre : la critique politique doit s’historiciser, en s’émancipant du cadre abstrait de la philosophie, pour se rattacher l’histoire des vaincus ; et la critique historienne doit se politiser, en mettant en évidence le caractère irréductiblement situé de la production de traces documentaires comme de l’écriture de l’histoire. Cette conception de l’histoire a joué un rôle majeur, et encore souvent méconnu, dans la formation de la science historique et de la pensée politique contemporaines.
Software defined network implementation of multi-node adaptive novel quantum key distribution protocol
Authors: Kaur Hardeer , Singh Jai Sukh Paul
Published: September 2024

Access to information can destroy nations and change the course of history altogether. Communication is very important, and in today's internet age, nothing moves without real-time information support. For securing communication, a commonly know technique is to use cryptography and public channels. Engineers have been working to create a better and more secure cryptographic system. Quantum key distribution stands at the top of this security system. Although QKD, based on principles of physics, provides a near-perfect security solution. It has a few drawbacks of its own, like low key generation rates and vulnerability to cyberattacks. Owning to these limitations, authors propose an adaptive quantum key distribution system based on software-defined networks. The authors propose to introduce redundancy in the key generation, thereby increasing the key generation rate and improving the resilience to cyberattacks. A performance comparison of novel quantum key distribution was done with BB84 and B92 quantum key distribution protocols.
Numerical investigation of systems of fractional partial differential equations by new transform iterative technique
Authors: Sultana Mariam , Waqar Muhammad , Ali Ali Hasan , Lupaş Alina Alb , Ghanim F. , Abduljabbar Zaid Ameen
Published: September 2024

This research introduced a new method, the Aboodh Tamimi Ansari transform method ($ (AT)^2 $ method), for solving systems of linear and nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. The method combined the Aboodh transform method and the Tamimi Ansari method, allowing for the simultaneous solution of linear and nonlinear terms without restrictions. The Caputo sense was considered for fractional derivatives. The effectiveness of the proposed method was demonstrated through numerical solutions, graphical representations, and tabular data, showing strong agreement with exact solutions. The approach was deemed precise, easy to apply, and could be extended to address further challenges in fractional-order problems. Computational tasks were carried out using Mathematica 13.
Numerical investigation of the dynamics for a normalized time-fractional diffusion equation
Authors: Lee Chaeyoung , Nam Yunjae , Bang Minjoon , Ham Seokjun , Kim Junseok
Published: September 2024

In this study, we proposed a normalized time-fractional diffusion equation and conducted a numerical investigation of the dynamics of the proposed equation. We discretized the governing equation by using a finite difference method. The proposed normalized time-fractional diffusion equation features a different time scale compared to the conventional time-fractional diffusion equation. This distinct time scale provides an intuitive understanding of the fractional time derivative, which represents a weighted average of the temporal history of the time derivative. Furthermore, the sum of the weight function is one for all values of the fractional parameter and time. The primary advantage of the proposed model over conventional time-fractional equations is the unity property of the sum of the weight function, which allows us to investigate the effects of the fractional order on the evolutionary dynamics of time-fractional equations. To highlight the differences in performance between the conventional and normalized time-fractional diffusion equations, we have conducted several numerical experiments.
Accurate inference for the Youden index and its associated cutoff point based on the gamma and inverse Gaussian distributed assumption
Authors: Wang Xiaofei , Jiang Peihua , Liu Wenzhen
Published: September 2024

The Youden index is often used to measure the effectiveness of biomarkers and aids to find the optimal cutoff point. Since pooled specimens have been shown to be an effective cost-cutting technique, we proposed the exact inferential procedures for the Youden index and its associated cutoff point based on the pooled specimens under the gamma or the inverse Gaussian assumption. The generalized confidence intervals (GCIs) were proposed for the Youden index and its associated cutoff point. Monte Carlo simulations were used to assess the performance of the proposed GCIs. The simulation results show that the proposed GCIs outperformed existing methods such as the bootstrap-$ p $ CIs in terms of the coverage probability. Finally, the proposed procedures were illustrated by an example.

Published: September 2024

In the area of medical artificial intelligence (AI), data bias is a major difficulty that affects several phases of data collection, processing, and model building. The many forms of data bias that are common in AI in healthcare are thoroughly examined in this review study, encompassing biases related to socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity as well as biases in machine learning models and datasets. We examine how data bias affects the provision of healthcare, emphasizing how it might worsen health inequalities and jeopardize the accuracy of AI-driven clinical tools. We address methods for reducing data bias in AI and focus on different methods used for creating synthetic data. This paper explores several mitigating algorithms like SMOTE, AdaSyn, Fair-SMOTE, and BayesBoost. The optimized Bayesboost algorithm has been discussed. This approach showed more accuracy and addressed the error handling mechanism.
Revisiting the hermeneutic project of the fragment in its exigency for a digital paradigm of publication
Authors: Stoyanova Silvia M
Published: September 2024

A century ago, Walter Benjamin defined the mode of production of scholarly books as “an outdated mediation between two different filing systems”—the card index of the researcher who wrote it and that of the scholar studying it. The discursive mediation of the codex, in his opinion, no longer created any significant value, “for everything that matters” can be found in the author’s research archive. I explore the implications of this statement through the practices of the fragment in modernity, among which the research archives and notebooks of Benjamin, Giacomo Leopardi, Paul Valéry, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Joseph Joubert, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Friedrich Schlegel, and Novalis, and suggest that the hermeneutic project of the fragment genre could constructively inform recent initiatives towards processual, slow, and reproducible scholarship, as well as the design of digital editing and authoring workspaces. I juxtapose the compositional processes and editorial challenges of the selected fragment collections and explore their exigency for a digital publication platform that would empower their ethical epistemology, activate their relational networks, articulate their processual form, and support their aspiration towards collaborative knowledge-making. I propose that the design of such digital workspace should not only afford access to the contents of these intellectual projects but also enable the performative engagement with their methodology. The dialectical reception between the epistemic practices of the fragment genre and the theoretical visions for the future of the academic book holds promise for engendering multimodal, process-oriented, performative, and collaborative scholarly discourse.

Published: September 2024

Consumers not only wish to be able to quickly transport whatever they are carrying from one location to another, but also wish the procedure to be simple. The goal of aiming for a broadband flexible antenna that may operate for a large spectrum of wireless between typical internet devices with low power has been achieved, and it has been created with the use of a flexible substrate. In addition to having the ability to install the antenna on a flexible substrate, this was done because it needed to fulfill the demands of the consumers. At a frequency of the operation that falls between 3.95 to 10.12 GHz, the antenna has a rather tiny size, under five millimeters. According to the simulation, the directivity can be expressed as in a highly resonated stage. The antenna with the highest influence is at 5.09 GHz, which is 3.386 dBi. The antenna that may be seen has a broadband width of 87.70%. Therefore, it is low profile; in addition, the documented antenna will be able to perform exceptionally well in telemedicine applications.

Published: September 2024

Protecting virtual assets from cyber threats is essential as we live in a digitally advanced world. Providing a responsible emphasis on proper network security and intrusion detection is imperative. On the other hand, traditional strategies need a supportive tool to adapt to the transforming threat space. New generative AI techniques like generative adversarial networks (GANs) and variational autoencoders (VAEs) are the mainstream technologies required to meet the gap. This chapter deals with how these models can enhance network security by inspecting the network traffic for anomalies and malicious behaviors detected through unsupervised learning, which considers strange or emerging phenomena. This survey features innovations in fault detection, behavior control, deep packet inspection, traffic classification, and examples of real-world intrusions detected by GAN-based systems. Furthermore, the chapter focuses on the challenges of adversarial attacks on models that require the development of solid defense mechanisms, such as generative adversarial networks. Ethics becomes the following matter on our list of discussions, given that privacy transparency and accountability are to be observed when working with generative AI technologies in network security. Finally, the authors examine trends that determine how cyber-attacks are dealt with comprehensively.

Attentional biases play a crucial role in health decision-making, influencing the choices individuals make regarding their well-being. Attentional biases impact health decisions by facilitating stimulus-directed processing of health choices, which is more superficial in nature. This chpater aims to explore the role of stimulus-directed attentional processing from the perspective of neuroeconomics, examining the role of subjective value, cognitive load, risk-taking tendencies, and uncertainty in making health decisions. Stimulus-directed processing, along with these variables, increases the reward value of certain stimuli over others, leading to suboptimal health decisions. Insights into the neural basis of decision-making offer predictive power regarding health behaviors and the potential for targeted interventions to mitigate attentional biases. Understanding these biases can enhance well-being by informing strategies for healthier choices and addressing related mental health issues.

Virtual reality on the web may improve business communication, particularly in the area of distance learning and negotiation strategies. Gaining success in business and social life sometimes requires the ability to negotiate on behalf of others. Students at open and remote colleges might be located anywhere in the globe, making it difficult for traditional institutions to provide them with real-world experience that would help them improve their abilities. A new kind of technology called virtual reality gives pupils the chance to practise acting out real-life situations in a controlled setting. To improve the learning experience in the corporate communication course, this project intends to create VR training that can be accessed over the internet. The training will centre on strategies for remote negotiating and lobbying. When it comes to educational research, this study uses the Borg & Gall R&D Method. This chapter delves into the first stage which collected data needed to create a mood board and flowchart that met the demands of stakeholders.
