Published: May 2024

In recent digital age, Cyber Security has boomed to priority tip. Security concerns viz. Data Breaches, ID theft, Captcha Hacking, and other similar situations have emerged as harmful data threat to the society. Challenge in designing appropriate rules and process and applying the same on critical data threat scenarios to perfectly combat cyberattacks and crimes are limitless. Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence have resulted in a dramatic escalation of the everincreasing threat posed by cybercriminals and attacks. It has been used in practically all branches of engineering and research. AI has ushered forth a revolution in everything from robots to healthcare. Cybercriminals were unable to avoid this ball of fire, and as a result, "ordinary" cyberattacks have evolved into "intelligent" ones. In the subject of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI) can serve as a foundational tool because of its ability to adapt quickly to new scenarios. AIbased techniques can be used to identify malware assaults, network intrusions, phishing and spam emails, and data breaches, among other things, and to warn security incidents when they occur

Published: May 2024

This chapter will explain the various Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies accessible for modern digital marketing. We will also list the marketingrelated AI applications that are now available. On the desk, there are various data sources. Managing this data presents a difficult task for managers. Managers have a competitive advantage with this knowledge. AI uses this information to handle projects more effectively. There is no denying that artificial intelligence is developing at a faster rate than ever before. In reality, it's a catch-all term for the method by which machines like computers and robots can be taught to mimic human behaviour. Although the most popular application of AI is assumed to be chatbots, it actually encompasses a wide range of technologies. Today, AI is able to do everything from help with content creation to advertising plans to consumer behaviour prediction. While AI can be a priceless companion when used correctly, it cannot replace the insights of humans. AI may provide marketers with insights that will help them automate tasks, rethink their marketing strategies, and boost their total return on investment (ROI)
AI IN CURBING SPREAD OF MISINFORMATION
Authors: Ramadasu B , Prakash K Kiran , Prasad Dr. G.N.R.
Published: May 2024

According to Nilsen, there are a number of communication channels that can reduce the availability of meaningful choice. If a corporation gives stakeholders erroneous or biassed information, its decision-making process may be compromised. Prejudice, ambiguity, and emotionally charged language are some communication strategies that may distort meaning or instil unjustified fear in the listener. Public relations experts must use ethical communication techniques built on the ideas of openness and transparency. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a potent weapon in the fight against the ever-increasing threat of the "infodemic." AI tools can recognise bogus videos, spot fake news, and use chatbots to spread accurate information. Information spreads quickly in the digital era, but false information spreads like wildfire. The ease of communication has made it possible for fake news to spread quickly, and the situation has spread to the point that it resembles an infodemic or a pandemic of information. False information travels considerably more quickly than the truth and reaches a larger audience. In other words, on Twitter and perhaps other social media sites, bogus news outweighs the truth. Furthermore, it is difficult and time-consuming to actively separate bogus news from legitimate news. The procedure may be approached using a few machine learning (ML) classification approaches, however consistently training entire models requires a significant amount of time. It is possible to divide the process of telling fake news from true news into smaller phases, and by automating these processes, the work becomes easier to understand. When disinformation is spread through video, the issue is magnified since it is so convincing and convincingly real that even the most intelligent and sceptical minds can be duped. These artificial intelligence-generated movies of actual individuals acting and speaking false things are referred to as deep fakes. Like many other modern issues, the solution to the rumour-mongering issue is found in artificial intelligence. Here are some of our better examples of how AI can help stop the spread of incorrect information

Published: May 2024

To come out pharmacokinetic & pharmacodynamic limitations of active drugs there is an effective strategy to overcome that is design and developments of prodrugs. A large numbers of prodrugs are already available in market and well established in recent years. Also in recent years there is particular enhance in the use of prodrugs as an advancement of parent drugs for treatment of different types diseases. Prodrugs are modified derivatives of active moiety entered in therapy due to their advantageous physicochemical properties (greater stability, improved solubility, increased permeability,) used in inactive form. Biological effect occurs by the active derivatives formed in organism through chemical transformation (biotransformation). A prodrug strategy includes changes in active moiety and making different derivatives that provides much advantages over parent moiety like enhancing membrane permeability, overcome pharmacokinetic barriers like poor solubility, absorption, rapid excretion and pharmacodynamic barriers such as toxicity, side effects and poor efficacy. site specification, transporter targeting, improving aqueous solubility and so many. Recently, out of pharmaceutical products 10% are available as prodrugs. 50% of prodrugs changed to the active form by hydrolysis mechanism and majorly by hydrolysis of ester. Now we can identify prodrugs produced by chemical derivatisation, bioprecursors and targeted delivery systems

Authors: Vazzano Jennifer , Chen Wei , Frankel Wendy L.
Published: May 2024

Context.—

Frozen sections are essential in the surgical management of patients, especially those with pancreatic masses, because frozen sections can provide answers intraoperatively and aid in treatment decisions. Pancreas frozen sections are challenging because of the small tissue size, processing artifacts, neoadjuvant treatment effects, and concurrent pancreatitis-like obstructive changes. The authors present a review of intraoperative evaluation of pancreatic specimens.

Objective.—

To provide an approach to the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma on frozen sections and to discuss commonly encountered pitfalls. Indications for pancreas frozen sections and specific margin evaluation will be discussed. We will also review frozen section diagnosis of subcapsular liver lesions and tumors other than metastases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Data Sources.—

Data sources included a literature review and the personal experiences of the authors.

Conclusions.—

The features for diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma include disordered architecture, glands at abnormal locations, and atypical cytology. It is important to be aware of the pitfalls and clues on frozen section. The evaluation of resection margins can be challenging, and in the setting of the resection of cystic tumors, the key is the diagnosis of high-grade dysplasia or cancer. Finally, it is vital to remember the differential diagnosis for subcapsular liver lesions because not all lesions will be metastases of adenocarcinomas or bile duct adenomas. Frozen sections remain a useful tool for the intraoperative management of patients with pancreatic tumors.

The Book of Revelation and the Necrocene: Unveiling causality in apocalypse
Authors: Higson-Blythe Samuel Joseph
Published: May 2024

The Book of Revelation, the much-disputed final book of the Christian Bible, is seen by many as the definitive apocalyptic text, both due to its place in the holy book of a major world religion but also the prevalence of its images in popular culture.  Herein this article decodes and discussed ideas surrounding apocalypse and analyses chapters17-18 of Revelation through the lens of Justin McBrien’s ‘Accumulating Extinction: Planetary Catastrophism in the Necrocene’, a work that established the notion of the Necrocene, an epoch defined by capitalist accumulation hurling humanity toward the apocalypse. The article seeks to craft a new definition of apocalypse, not simply as the end of the world or as an unveiling, but as a distinct literary feature that, through the use of imagery and metaphor, unveils the cause of the end of the world – a cause which, through the lens of the Necrocene, can time and time again, in various works, be traced back to capitalism.
The Role of the Aesthetic Function in Printed Ecological Advertising
Authors: Motreniuc Diana
Published: May 2024

The aesthetic dimension in ecological advertising plays a crucial role in establishing an emotional connection between the audience and environmental issues, stimulating involvement and commitment to conservation efforts. The aesthetic function embedded in ecological advertising serves as a foundation for raising awareness and mobilizing the public regarding environmental issues. This aesthetic approach fosters deep emotional connections, motivating active involvement in environmental initiatives and significantly contributing to leaving a lasting impression and focusing attention on the ecological message conveyed. The use of visually captivating imagery, including landscapes and vibrant colors, grabs attention and sparks curiosity among viewers. Their distinctive style, together with origindesign elements, elevates them to an artistic level, enriching their impact and resonance. Ecological advertising draws inspiration from diverse aesthetic influences, similar to those found in fine art, with deliberate reinterpretations and realignments to serve its purpose. Adherence to fundamental design principles ensures impactful and memorable ecological advertising campaigns. By presenting aesthetic means, namely disturbing aspects of environmental degradation, ecological ads can evoke a strong emotional response among the audience, prompting them to take action or support initiatives for nature conservation. However, it is essential for such imagery to be used judiciously and accompanied by messages/texts that provide solutions or inspire hope and positive action in the face of environmental issues. We will observe how techniques like unity, harmony, and balance, along with intentional emphasis and contrast, enhance the effectiveness of ecological advertising in conveying its message to the public.
Identity and Otherness in Interwar Chișinau
Authors: Prisac Lidia
Published: May 2024

Proposing the image of the other in the interwar Chisinau, we set out to decode the ways in which the people of Chisinau reflected in the mirror of the other, so that we came to address the aspects of citizens and foreigners in relation to the city, the old and new elites as well as the periphery of the city, national-ethnic minorities and internal and external immigrants, including refugees, as well as the marginals of society. From what has been presented, we can see that Chisinau from the beginning of the interwar period had an identity mark, with claims of greatness, derived from the physiognomy of the former tsarist empire. Spectacular in its special way of being, Chisinau had those facets that still reminded (from the wide streets, the multi-ethnic spectrum of the population) of the existence of a cosmopolitan community detached from a multicultural urban space so contrasting with the periphery of the city, completely monolithic from an ethnic and cultural point of view. Gradually, during the more than 20 years of Romanian administration, Chisinau has woven into its history, through the rise of the new and the decline of the old elites, characteristics of Romanianness and new trends. The space of rediscovery, perhaps even the beloved city of so many nationalities, from Jews, Russians, Ukrainians, to Armenians and other communities, Chisinau revealed the experience of the daily difficulties of being different in relation to the rest of the cities within Romania as a whole.

The importance of regular physical activity in the mental health of the older adults
Authors: Martinez Victor Matheus Lopes , Marrero Sophia Gielow
Published: May 2024

The present study had the general objective of evaluating the relationship between physical activity and mental health in the older adults. For this, a cross-sectional survey was carried out with 35 older adults aged between 60 and 76 years old (65.31 ± 4.50). To assess the level of physical activity, the six-minute walk test (6MWT) was used, while mental health was measured using the geriatric depression scale (GDS). A comparison was made between the physically active and inactive groups (classified by the 6MWT) using Student’s t test for GDS scores. In addition, the Ancova test was performed to compare groups for the mental health outcome (GDS). The results show us that the mean age of the individuals was 65.31 with a standard deviation of 4.50. Among the older adults, 12 were classified as physically active and 23 as inactive. However, the main finding of this study lies in the difference between the groups for the mental health outcome, since the physically active group had a mean GDS lower (Mean = 3.33) than the physically inactive group (Mean = 7.30), with statistical significance (p = 0.05). This is in line with the literature on the benefits of physical activity in preventing and reducing mental disorders. The study makes room for further studies, especially clinical and longitudinal trials, in order to better understand these real impacts of physical activity.
Net zero energy analysis and energy conversion of sustainable residential building in Muscat, Oman
Authors: Subbiah Muthuraman , Sharif Hafiz Zafar , Murugan Sivaraj , Ayyappan Kumar
Published: May 2024

The building sector is the predominant consumer of primary energy globally. The building sector accounts for around 40% of global energy production. Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) are highly suggested by energy experts as an effective option to alleviate the strain on primary energy sources caused by the building sector. The disparity between energy performance predictions provided during the design phase and the actual energy performance of residential buildings is mostly attributed to a limited comprehension of the components that influence energy consumption and the constraints of whole building simulation software. The objective of this research was to perform a comparison analysis of the expected and actual energy consumption of a prototype net-zero energy house built at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences in Muscat. The Hourly Analysis Programme (HAP V4.2) was utilised to forecast the energy consumption of a Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) at HCT, taking into account the availability of an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) and the absence of an ERV. The newly built house underwent a one-month testing phase to fulfil many duties according to competition regulations. One of the main goals was to generate on-site energy through photovoltaic panels, producing an amount proportional to the energy consumed by the house. Upon comparing the actual energy consumption data with the simulated result, it was noticed that the actual energy demand of the house was around 20% lower than the prediction made by the simulation tool.

Intimate partner violence and its psychosocial correlates among male survivors: The socio-ecological implications
Authors: Rowlands Emmanuel
Published: May 2024

Previous research on the psychosocial correlates of intimate partner violence (IPV) among men has predominantly focused on clinical disorders such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. Little is known about the socio-ecological implications of IPV on male survivors. This article examines how nonclinical stressors, such as expectations to perform masculinity and shame of non-performance, intersect with clinical disorders to cause profound suffering in male survivors. Consequently, the article argues that socio-ecological interactions facilitate stressors, culminating in detrimental consequences of IPV for male survivors’ psychosocial well-being. By examining the qualitative experiences of 25 African male survivors of IPV and the perspectives of five key informants working with IPV victims in Johannesburg, this article emphasizes the importance of considering both clinical and nonclinical factors in understanding the psychosocial impacts of IPV on male survivors. The findings support the need for appropriate interventions that address pervasive societal ideologies that further facilitate stress on male survivors’ well-being.

Authors: Hlaiem S , Yangui I, Ezzine O , Della Rocca G , Barberini S , Danti R , Ben Jamâa ML
Published: May 2024

Several species of Botryosphaeriaceae family are among the most aggressive pathogens associated with botryosphaeria dieback of agricultural and forestry trees. Particularly, Diplodia spp. having a cosmopolitan distribution, are well-known as virulent of woody plant hosts including Pinus spp. In recent years, symptoms of canopy wilt, branch dieback, necrosis, and trunk cankers have been noticed on Pinus pinea trees in Tunisian forests. However, this has been less welldocumented in North Africa and especially in Tunisia. The aim of this study is to characterize the causal agent of P. pinea dieback in northeastern Tunisian forest. A collection of thirty-eight isolates obtained from symptomatic branches of P. pinea trees was identified as Diplodia seriata by means of morphological characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. A pathogenicity test was conducted on 3-years-old P. pinea seedlings, confirmed the virulence of the fungus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first record of D. seriata associated with branch canker on P. pinea in Tunisia.
Chemical control of bacteria Xanthomonas hortorum pv. gardneri and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. perforans in vitro
Authors: Monteiro FP , Ogoshi C , Mallmann G
Published: May 2024

Tomato bacterial leaf spot is a worldwide disease that causes high losses in processed and fresh tomatoes. This disease is caused by four species of bacteria (Xanthomonas hortorum pv. gardneri, Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. perforans, Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. euvesicatoria and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. vesicatoria). Xanthomonas hortorum pv. gardneri and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. perforans are the phytopathogenic bacteria most frequently found in tomato crops. The objectives of this work were to identify potential bactericides and to study the mancozeb and copper oxychloride in the management of bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas hortorum pv. gardneri and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. perforans. Forty-four active ingredients were tested at 1% of the commercial product (1000g c.p./100L H2O) as first screening. Posteriorly, those that inhibited bacterial multiplication were tested at their recommended doses. When used at a dose of 1000g c.p./100L H2O, the products that inhibited the multiplication of X. hortorum pv. gardneri and X. euvesicatoria pv. perforans were benzalkonium chloride, acetic acid, cuprous oxide, mancozeb, copper hydroxide, mancozeb + famoxadone, copper oxychloride, metiram + pyraclostrobin, Bordeaux mixture and Viçosa mixture. At the doses recommended in the package insert, the products that inhibited the multiplication of X. hortorum pv. gardneri and X. euvesicatoria pv. perforans were benzalkonium chloride, acetic acid, mancozeb, mancozeb + famoxadone and metiram + pyraclostrobin. Copper oxychloride at the recommended dose of 0.2% (200g c.p./100L H2O – 168g a.i./100L H2O) did not inhibit the multiplication of X. hortorum pv. gardneri. It has been estimated that 0.004% is resistant to the recommended dose of copper oxychloride. At doses higher than 0.4% (400g c.p./100L H2O – 336g a.i./100L H2O) there was no bacterial growth. However, once the bacteria grow in a culture medium containing 0.2% copper oxychloride of commercial product (200g c.p./100L H2O – 168g a.i./100L H2O), it can be multiplied in a culture media even at a dose of 1000g c.p./100L H2O (840g a.i./100L H2O), which would be equivalent to a dose of 10kg c.p./ha. Mancozeb inhibited bacterial growth from the dose of 0.1% (100g c.p./100L H2O – 80g a.i./100L H2O). However, when X. hortorum pv. gardneri resistant to copper oxychloride 1% (1000g c.p./100L H2O – 840g a.i./100L H2O) is striated in a culture medium containing mancozeb, the bacteria multiply up to a dose of 0.5% mancozeb (500g c.p./100L H2O – 400g a.i./100L H2O). The in vitro results indicate that doses equal to or less than 0.2% copper oxychloride (200g c.p./100L H2O – 168g a.i./100L H2O) select colonies resistant to high doses of copper oxychloride and also decrease the efficiency of mancozeb.
La función política del Tribunal Constitucional alemán
Authors: Lepsius Oliver
Published: May 2024

El Tribunal Constitucional alemán es, al mismo tiempo, tribunal y órgano constitucional. El mejor modo de desempeñar el papel político que le atribuye la Constitución es diferenciando de modo inteligente y en función de la situación concreta entre el control de los fines políticos y el control de los medios para alcanzarlos.
La insólita suspensión de la potestad legislativa del Senado: el nombramiento de magistrados del Tribunal Constitucional
Authors: Rallo Lombarte Artemi
Published: May 2024

Este trabajo analiza el Auto del Tribunal Constitucional 177/2022, de 19 de diciembre, que constituye una resolución sin precedentes al suspender la tramitación de sendas enmiendas legislativas e impedir al Senado el ejercicio pleno de su potestad legislativa en una reforma legislativa de la LOPJ y LOTC sobre la designación de magistrados constitucionales. El Tribunal Constitucional permitió intervenir a sendos magistrados en la deliberación y fallo de su propia recusación poniendo en jaque el derecho a un tribunal imparcial. Al admitir a trámite el recurso de amparo, el TC adelantó una resolución sobre el fondo al paralizar el procedimiento legislativo con falta de prudencia y respeto a la autonomía parlamentaria a pesar del cumplimiento del Reglamento del Senado y de las garantías de los derechos de los senadores en el procedimiento legislativo. El Tribunal Constitucional ha creado un nuevo supuesto de control previo de constitucionalidad no contemplado ni en la Constitución ni en la LOTC habilitando individualmente a cada diputado o senador para solicitar al TC la suspensión de la tramitación parlamentaria de un texto legislativo.
La administración de apoyo del Tribunal Constitucional. Un estudio de la potestad de autoorganización del Tribunal
Authors: Pomed Sánchez Luis
Published: May 2024

El presente estudio está dedicado a los servicios de apoyo del Tribunal Constitucional de España. Partiendo de las determinaciones básicas de su ley orgánica (potestad reglamentaria, amplia autonomía presupuestaria y régimen de personal), se exponen las vertientes interna y externa de la autonomía institucional del Tribunal. La interna se refleja, principalmente, en el Reglamento de organización y personal de 1981 y 1990. La vertiente externa remite fundamentalmente al control de la actividad de la administración de apoyo: control jurisdiccional asimétrico en cuanto a la atribución de la competencia, y control por autoridades administrativas independentes. En relación con estas últimas se analizan los controles en materia de contratos y transparencia, haciendo una aproximación crítica a alguna propuesta reciente de reforma de la Ley de transparencia, acceso a la información pública y buen gobierno.

Published: May 2024

Understanding marine dynamics, particularly in coastal areas with high wave activity, cannot be achieved without physical modeling. However, when it comes to downscaled physical wave modeling, accurately recording wave data becomes a challenge, especially near coastlines where disturbances are common. Traditional water surface measurement tools, such as invasive wave probes, have proven to be both inaccurate and impractical. To overcome these limitations, this study presents a new data acquisition system (DAQ) utilizing resistive sensors and wireless transmission protocols to enhance the accuracy of wave measurements in laboratory-scale experiments.
The data acquisition technology effectively measures water surface electric potential by utilizing specialized resistive probes. Additionally, the DAQ is equipped with an automatic calibration system using a vertical potentiometer, providing a cutting-edge solution to calibrate the invasive wave probes usually employed in several types of hydraulic physical modeling. The recorded data is efficiently handled by Arduino® board controllers, allowing for convenient wireless transmission for laboratory usage. This exceptional system surpasses traditional methods, offering a combination of versatility, cost-efficiency, and enhanced accuracy in capturing wave characteristics. In addition to describing the development of controllers and data processing algorithms, this study highlights their seamless integration into a unified solution for superior wave data collection.
Small-Scale Experimental Evidence On The Use Of Date Palm Forest To Mitigate Tsunami In The Arabian Sea
Authors: NANDASENA N.A.K.
Published: May 2024

Because of the multi-scale benefits, ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) has received much attention in coastal disaster mitigation.  Coastal forests are considered a sustainable and economical solution to mitigate inundations from tsunamis. Owing to the rare occurrence of tsunamis and reported local tsunami heights being small, the coastal forests are a potential solution to protect from tsunamis in the Arabian Sea. The potential of date palm trees to mitigate tsunami inundations was investigated in an experimental study.  The experiments were conducted at a geometric scale of 1:100 with the Froude-Cauchy similitudes. It found that the canopy of the tree played a key role in flow energy reduction. If the tsunami height was higher than the canopy height a significant tsunami depth was reduced behind the forest compared to the case that the tsunami height was lower than the canopy height. The highest percentage reduction in the maximum flow depth behind the forest was 37% for the forest length of 180 m and tsunami height of 7 m.

Physical modelling tests were conducted in the wave flume of Artelia’s hydraulic laboratory to study the hydraulic response/stability of a rubble mound breakwater made with a non-standard core composed of crushed concrete blocks (tetrapod). This design carried out by EDF, is aimed at having high permeability and fits in an eco-design approach, through the reuse of existing materials already on site. Eventually, the hydraulic efficiency of three different sections were tested and compared, all sections having the same armour layer and the same main dimensions but different {core; filter} systems : core only made with crushed tetrapod, core and underlayer made with crushed tetrapod (no filter layers with rocks) and baseline design (quarry run core and rock underlayer). Several responses were studied: armour layer stability, overtopping and transmission of the structure and head loss on both sides of the structure with an inflow/outflow system in the rear side basin set up in the wave flume. This case study illustrates 1) the importance of the physical modelling approach to testing unusual structures, as part of an eco-design approach, where the use of standard design formulas does not allow to verify the hydraulic behaviour of a high permeable breakwater and 2) also shows that unconventional design can lead to satisfactory hydraulic results.
