Published: August 2024

Nanotechnology is one of the promising scientific advancements that has captured widespread interest across various industries, notably in medicine. The utilization of plants for the synthesis of silver nanomaterials (AgNMs) has emerged as a promising and eco-friendly approach, offering cost-effective solutions for potential biomedical applications. The study aims to optimize the efficiency of biogenic AgNMs fabrication by employing Kaempferia parviflora aqueous extraction (KP-AE) as both a reducing and encapsulating agent, thus optimizing the yield of AgNMs. Phytochemical screening was conducted to identify the phytochemical compounds present in KP-AE. Various parameters were optimized, including pH, temperature, and the ratio of KP extract to AgNO3, over different incubation periods. The synthesized AgNMs were analyzed spectroscopically and microscopically using UV-Vis and SEM techniques. At varying concentrations of KP and AgNO3, the KP-AE AgNMs were successfully biogenic fabricated, but the yields varied. As the concentrations of AgNO3 increased, a greater yield of KP-AE AgNMs was achieved. Phytochemical screening KP-AE demonstrated the presence of potential phytochemicals such as alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides, and oils that assisted in the biogenic fabrication of AgNMs. This study established an efficient, affordable, and ecologically sustainable approach for fabricating stable AgNMs using KP-AE AgNMs. Synergistically, reducing and capping potential has been achieved by combining the plant extract in plant-mediated biogenic fabrication, producing stabilized NMs compared to those produced individually. The AgNMs derived from KP-AE exhibit robust antioxidant properties, showcasing promise for further exploration in pharmaceutical applications. Additional research is needed to investigate the biological potential and pharmacological properties of the biogenic fabricated KP-AE AgNMs.

Published: August 2024

The current study has several inconsistencies in the research findings regarding the association between structural and psychological empowerment and business success or performance. In addition, there is a gap phenomenon that occurs in Indonesia: although women's economic power is growing, their contribution to GDP is still relatively small, and their level of business innovation is low. By including the mediating variable of innovative behavior, this study seeks to close the research gap regarding the impact of psychological and structural empowerment on business success. 96 women entrepreneurs in Semarang City, Indonesia were the sample of this study. The data collection method is done by distributing questionnaires via Google Forms. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the WrapPLS 8.0 software was the analysis technique employed. The findings demonstrated that innovative behavior and entrepreneurial success were significantly enhanced by psychological and structural empowerment. Additionally, there is a strong positive correlation between innovative behavior and entrepreneurial success. Innovative behavior may operate as a mediating variable in the relationship between structural empowerment and entrepreneurial success. However, regarding psychological empowerment in entrepreneurial success, innovative behavior fails to be a mediating variable.

Published: August 2024

The escalating urgency of mitigating climate change demands immediate and effective strategies, with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) emerging as a pivotal solution. This scientific study presents a systematic and quantitative approach to selecting carbon dioxide (CO2) storage sites, focusing on the petrochemical industry in South Sumatra as the CO2 source, with annual emissions reaching 3.5 MtCO2. A comprehensive screening process was executed, employing 14 distinct criteria, each assigned a weighted score, to ensure the inclusion of technically feasible CO2 capture and storage options. Notably, the emphasis on Subsurface Data Analysis, encompassing vital factors such as storage reservoirs, boundary zones, traps, potential injectivity, prospective storage resources, and existing seismic data, served as a cornerstone in enhancing the robustness of our assessments. The research successfully identifies 15 CO2 storage fields, with a total storage capacity of up to 475 MtCO2. This quantitative evidence underscores the substantial potential for large-scale CO2 storage within the study area. Furthermore, considering spatial dynamics, with two distinct scenarios within a 100 km and 200 km radius of CO2 emission sources, provided precise quantitative insights into the geographical distribution of these storage sites relative to emission sources. It is crucial to note that optimizing pipeline infrastructure and utilizing existing Right of Way (ROW) were quantitatively validated as cost-effective measures for CO2 distribution, which is especially significant given the urgency of implementing CCS. Spatial calculations supported the proposal of a 600-kilometer pipeline route, demonstrating the quantitative feasibility of leveraging existing infrastructure to facilitate extensive CO2 management. This research could help in understanding large-scale CO2 storage potential and provides valuable insights for CCS policy and business development in South Sumatra

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Following a request from the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assessed the 2022 post‐market environmental monitoring (PMEM) report on the cultivation of Cry1Ab‐expressing maize event MON 810. Overall, the 2022 PMEM report provides no evidence of adverse effects of maize MON 810 cultivation. It shows a high level of compliance with refuge requirements by Spanish and Portuguese farmers growing maize MON 810, but uncertainty remains on compliance in areas where the clustered surface of maize MON 810 farms exceeds 5 ha. There are no signs of practical resistance to Cry1Ab in the field in corn borer populations collected in north‐eastern Spain in 2022, although a decrease in Cry1Ab susceptibility in Mediterranean corn borer populations from this area cannot be excluded. Information retrieved through farmer questionnaires in Spain and from the scientific literature reveals no unanticipated adverse effects on human and animal health or the environment arising from the cultivation of maize MON 810. Uncertainties remain on whether ‘very highly’ and ‘extremely’ sensitive non‐target lepidoptera are potentially exposed to harmful amounts of MON 810 pollen. EFSA notes that several recommendations made in the frame of the assessment of previous PMEM reports remain unaddressed and identified additional shortcomings in the 2022 PMEM report that require further consideration by the consent holder in future annual PMEM reports. Particularly, EFSA emphasises the urgent need to increase the sensitivity of the insect resistance monitoring strategy and implement mitigation measures to ensure that the exposure of non‐target lepidoptera to maize MON 810 pollen is reduced to levels of no concern.

LITERARY RESPONSES TO THE BRITISH EMPIRE: POSTCOLONIAL READINGS OF 20TH CENTURY ENGLISH FICTION
Authors: P L Mylaraiah
Published: August 2024

Here shown to be inextricably bound up with the new forms of identity, power and resistance which developed within British imperial culture by examining a total range of 20th-century English fiction. Through a reading of canonical texts like E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea the paper comes in terms with how these books critique the imperialist/colonial ideologies. The analysis sheds light on the longstanding literary function of English fiction for imperialist narratives as well as subversive and critical potential. Key themes under consideration are the depiction of cultural identity, hybridity in postcolonial subjects and forms of resistance adopted by characters featured within these ‘narratives. It also introduces the persistence of imperial thematic in English literature even after the official decline of British Empire and discusses how decolonization influenced (or not) literary themes and narratives. This work shows that postcolonial theory is still new and dynamic within the field of literary criticism, offering potential paths for future research into how this theme has developed in modernity and international settings.

Published: August 2024

Cinema and movies always work as a tool of awareness. Indian cinema, especially the Bollywood movie industry is changing its paradigm from the traditional romanticized catchup and family drama to socio-political and environmental awareness. The young and new generation filmmakers’ interests fall on the impending issues rather than so-called traditional issues. They take cinema as a tool to raise sensitive issues as only this medium can rapidly raise awareness among the mass population. Except for the other issues, the ecological issues also become the main subject of their movie. Nila Madhab Panda, the award-winning director uses cinema as a tool of awareness. His movie Kaun Kitney Paani Mein (2015) is the best example of environmental awareness. This film points out very critical issues of water crisis of two villages- Upri and Bairi. His movie highlights how unskilled and mismanagement can lead to the brink of shortage and scarcity. Another director, Aparnaa Singh points out the consequence of fatal disease due to the chemical reaction in groundwater in her movie Irada (2017). The paper attempts to emphasize how cinema can take as a tool of environmental awareness for the mass population analysing the visual portrayal in detail with the help of two theories- Agenda Setting Theory and Walter’s Narrative Paradigm. It also aims to focus on changing paradigm of the contemporary Indian cinemas dealing with the ecological conscience.

Published: August 2024

Post-colonialism is still a debate and an interesting phenomenon, as the development of civilization cannot be separated from education. This research aims to determine the development of post-colonial civilization from the standpoint of educational philosophy. This study uses a qualitative method, a literary approach sourced from books and journals, and thematic analysis. The development of post-colonial civilization still creates westernized thinking. From the Islamic perspective, religion is separated from other fields or secularism. The secular education system was formed due to colonialism in most Muslim-majority countries. They are reconstructing Islamic education's philosophy on a gradual and sustainable education transformation and prioritizing religious moderation in Indonesia. The post-colonial perspective can create an Islamic education system. It is oriented towards developing an Islamic worldview as an enlightening civilization. The implications of an Islamic education system based on religious moderation and enlightenment can help a civilization develop while avoiding new colonialism.

Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo demonstrar a importância da participação dos discentes do ensino médio nas aulas de educação física. Para tanto, foram apresentadas metodologias de ensino que possam ser utilizadas como estratégia escolar para atrair maior interesse dos alunos nas aulas e nas atividades de educação física. Para avaliar esse processo, houve a participação de 60 alunos do Colégio Dinâmica de Foz do Iguaçu, os quais receberam informação a respeito da atividade física, e, após, investigou-se seu interesse e participação pela mesma como adesão a qualidade de vida. Os resultados mostram que, apesar da grande maioria afirmar ser consciente da importância da atividade física como sinônimo de bem estar e vida saudável, que uma porcentagem variável de 20 a 25% dos entrevistados continuam se recusando a participar de atividades e são indiferentes a suas práticas. Conclui-se que, exatamente essa minoria, é que deve preocupar o contexto escolar, uma vez que serão estes alunos que resultarão em adultos sedentários. Sendo o processo escolar o melhor momento para mudar essa realidade drástica, acredita-se que a mudança no processo em si, com novas atividades e melhor organização do planejamento, possa gradualmente atrair esses alunos que hoje se posicionam indiferente a atividade física, cabendo ao professor, com apoio da escola, não desistir e continuar sua caminhada no processo de adesão 100% dos alunos a uma vida saudável e bem estar através do exercício físico.
Social media (YouTube) political sentiment multi-label analysis
Authors: Mayowa Timothy Adesina  , Luke Howe
Published: August 2024

In an era where presidential elections and political discourse are increasingly digital, understanding public sentiment through online comments becomes crucial. This project explores the relationship between YouTube comments and political preferences, challenging the null hypothesis that asserts no connection between contextless comments and candidate preference. Utilizing various natural language processing (NLP) tools, including Bing-Liu, Vader Sentiments, and Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT-4, we delve into multi-label sentiment analysis for political figures. Our methodology encompassed a rigorous data collection process from YouTube, leveraging custom scrapers and the computational power of KSU's BEOCAT servers. We navigated through challenges like content limitations and the need for comment sanitization to comply with community guidelines. The study tested different models, including logistic regression and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), against a baseline of Max Label/Zero R classification. Results showed varying degrees of success, with individual label accuracies ranging from moderate to high. However, the overall accuracy of our final model using GCNs stood at 39%, indicating the complexity and difficulty of multi-label classification in political sentiment analysis yet also the success of graph convolutional networks at identifying complex contextless sentiment. This project not only sheds light on the potential of NLP in political analytics but also opens up avenues for future work in real-time sentiment analysis during political events, albeit with ethical considerations. This research contributes to the growing field of NLP implementation in public opinion analysis, with implications extending beyond politics into other consumer-centric industries.
Optimizing reinforcement learning in complex environments using neural networks
Authors: Md Nurul Raihen  , Jason Tran
Published: August 2024

This paper presents the distinct mechanisms and applications of traditional Q-learning (QL) and Deep Q-learning (DQL) within the realm of reinforcement learning (RL). Traditional Q-learning (QL) utilizes the Bellman equation to update Q-values stored in a Q-table, making it suitable for simple environments. However, its scalability is limited due to the exponential growth of state-action pairs in complex environments. Deep Q-learning (DQL) addresses this limitation by using neural networks to approximate Q-values, thus eliminating the need for a Q-table, and enabling efficient handling of complex environments. The neural network (NN), acting as the agent's decision-making brain, learns to predict Q-values through training, adjusting its weights based on received rewards. The study highlights the importance of well-calibrated reward systems in reinforcement learning (RL). Proper reward structures guide the agent towards desired behaviors while minimizing unintended actions. By running multiple environments simultaneously, the training process is accelerated, allowing the agent to gather diverse experiences and improve its performance efficiently. Comparative analysis of training models demonstrates that a well-balanced reward system results in more consistent and effective learning. The findings underscore the necessity of careful design in reinforcement learning systems to ensure optimal agent behavior and efficient learning outcomes in both simple and complex environments. Through this research, we gain valuable insights into the application of Q-learning (QL) and Deep Q-learning (DQL), enhancing our understanding of how agents learn and adapt to their environments.

Predictors of malignancy in STN vs MNG thyroid: Metanalysis
Authors: J. A. JAYALAL  , T. YUVARAJ  , VIGNESH B
Published: August 2024

Background: The incidence of thyroid cancer is different between solitarynodular (SN) thyroid and multinodular goiter (MNG). Therefore, a meta-analysis is performed to evaluate the existing literature on the comparative incidence of thyroid cancer in SN versus MNG. Methods: Papers were identified using a systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, ScienceDirect, GoogleScholar, International Clinical Trials Registry and reference lists of included articles. There are no restrictions on time, study design, language or country of publication. Two independent reviewers screened the most relevant articles according to PRISMA guidelines. Results: Twenty-two studies were included in this analysis and included 50, 321 patients, of which 44.2% were in the STN subgroup and 55.37% were in the MNG subgroup. MNG was significantly associated with a lower risk of thyroid cancer compared to STN (OR=0.76; 95% CI 0.61-0.96). Papillary carcinoma was the most common carcinoma in both groups, followed by follicular and medullary carcinoma. Subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the two most commonly used diagnostic tools, surgery and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), but yielded non-significant results, indicating comparable utility between the two. Another subgroup analysis based on participants' assumed iodine status also yielded non-significant results. Conclusion: The incidence of thyroid cancer is higher in patients with STN, but since the available evidence on this topic is of low quality, it is important to carry out larger studies that confirm the association with precision.

This work was carried out as part of the Forest Investment Project (PIF), initiated by the Forest Development Company (SODEFOR). The aim was to make an inventory of the Mammalian fauna of the classified forests of Matiemba and Kobo. This study, carried out in April 2024, through linear transects and reconnaissance walks, noted that these forest fragments abound in the whole, 17 species of mammals grouped into 5 orders and 8 families. The order Arthiodactyl and the Rodent were specifically the most observed with 59.42% and 23.66% respectively. The Bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) was the most abundant species (28.99%) in these forests. All identified species are classified as Least Concern (LC) except for the Yellow-backed Duiker (Cephalophus silvicultor), the Black Dorsal-banded Duiker (Cephalophus dorsalis) and the African Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) which are Near Threatened (NT). In the CITES Appendices, the Yellow-backed Duiker, the Black-dorsal Duiker, the Rufous-sided Duiker (Cephalophus rufilatus), Maxwell's Duiker (Philantomba maxwellii), African Buffalo and Green Monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus), are listed in Appendix II (IIA). The other mammalian species are listed in Appendix III (AIII). In view of these conservation statuses, these classified forests deserve special attention for their sustainable management.
