The lost mummy of Djedhor. Reconstructing the burial of a Ptolemaic priest from Thebes
Authors: Raven Maarten
Published: December 2024

In the rich archives of the Leiden Museum of Antiquities lies a fascinating manuscript dealing with the autopsy on an Ancient Egyptian mummy. This was performed in 1878 by the Museum’s curator Willem Pleyte. Thanks to Pleyte’s detailed _procès-verbal_, the mummy (which did not survive the dissection) can be reconstructed at least on paper. The name of the deceased has been inscribed on the mummy’s cartonnage, on some of the linen bandages, and on the Book of the Dead papyrus retrieved by Pleyte from the mummy wrappings. Several other items had been slipped between the wrappings, such as an amuletic necklace and various pieces of funerary jewellery. Together with textile samples of the diverse shrouds and bandages, all these finds have been preserved in the Museum’s reserves.

This rich documentation allows us to recognize this assemblage as the remains of an elite burial in Ptolemaic Thebes. The texts identify its owner as a priest called Djedhor, the son of Neferibre and Takerheb. Comparable mummies and funerary objects in other museums in Europe, Egypt and the United States help to interpret the various items found on Djedhor’s mummy. Moreover, we can thereby visualise the additional material once present in the tomb, such as the mummy’s coffins, canopic chest, stela, and Ptah-Sokar-Osiris statue. Finally, the common acquisition history of all these items points to the original location of Djedhor’s tomb and suggests through whose hands his remains must have passed on their way to Leiden.

Country-level relationship of OTC medicine consumption and frequency of GP consultation
Authors: Hirai Mie , Short Alex
Published: December 2024

The discussion surrounding self-medication with non-prescription medicines has gained significance in healthcare and public health, particularly given the global increase in consumption of non-prescription drugs. Currently, there is a lack of evidence regarding the relationship between people’s propensity to seek medical consultation and consumption of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. This study aimed to examine the association between the frequency of general practitioner (GP) consultations and the proportion of economic resources spent on OTC medicine. We conducted a correlation analysis between the mean number of GP consultations in a 4-week period and the ratio of non-prescription medicine market sales per capita to GDP per capita of 19 European countries. Additionally, universal health coverage (UHC) service coverage indices were used to contextualize healthcare provision in each country. Based on past studies, we hypothesized that GP consultations would negatively correlate with consumption of OTC medicine. We found a weakly positive Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, although this result was not statistically significant (rs = 0.22, p = 0.37). The lack of statistically significant correlation may reflect differences in characteristics of health care provision across countries. Overall, this study points out the importance of considering diverse aspects of a country's healthcare landscape in making country-level comparisons to support healthcare policy.

Authors: Oliveira Gabriel Cardoso , Torezan-Silingardi Helena Maura , Anjos Diego Vinícius , Abrahão Mariana , Alves-de-Lima Larissa
Published: December 2024

Agroforestry Systems (AFS) integrate agricultural and forest production, providing ecosystem environmental services. They are considered important tools for addressing problems caused by modern agricultural development. Despite their proven environmental and productive benefits, more studies are needed to support the viability and adoption of AFS by rural producers. This study accounts for the primary costs of implementing 1 hectare of a biodiverse AFS in Brazil. The results show that the acquisition of seedlings and propagules constitutes the highest costs, with avocado seedlings being the most expensive. Operational costs, particularly grading and the purchase of inputs, also represent significant expenses. Future research should focus on tracking the evolution of implementation costs, substituting expensive external supplies, and optimizing operational times for area preparation. These efforts will enhance the design and viability of AFS, addressing local producer needs and ensuring profitable maintenance.

Published: December 2024

One of the main purposes is to examine the relationship between cancer response style, metacognition, and anxiety of newly diagnosed and remission breast cancer patients based on the metacognitive model. Second is to evaluate difference between newly diagnosed and remission breast patients in manner of cancer response style, metacognition, and anxiety levels. A total of 110 early-stage breast cancer patients (56 newly diagnosed, 54 in remission) from one of the government hospital in Türkiye, Muğla were enrolled from November 2022 to August 2023. The participants completed sociodemographic and medical information, the Metacognition Scale (SBS-30), Cancer Response Style Scale, and Generalized Anxiety Scale-Revised (GADS-R). The average scores of the participants on the Generalized Anxiety Scale were determined as 1591,12 ± 282,62, in those who were in newly diagnosed and was determined 1284.44 ± 445.34 in remission. Anxiety has a positive correlation with metacognitive activity and emotion-oriented strategies (P<0.05); while fighting spirit and distrust of cognitive activities were negatively correlated (P < 0.05). Anxiety was a common phenomenon in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and average during the remission stage. In addition, both cancer responses and metacognitive beliefs had a direct and indirect association with the occurrence and development of anxiety. Moreover, positive, and negative metacognitions had different mechanisms on anxiety in patients with breast cancer.
The Demolition of Babri Masjid and The Post-modernist Challenge to History: A Lacanian Answer
Authors: Chakraborty Arunaloke
Published: December 2024

On the fateful day of December 6, 1992, a mob of Hindu nationalists demolished the Babri Masjid, leading to riots and violence against Muslims all over India. This event culminated after rigorous propaganda by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and R.S.S (both fascist organization). The movement gathered so much heat that India was entirely encompassed by the myth of Rama. The main reason behind this movement was to reclaim the site of Babri Masjid as the birthplace of Rama. In this article, without referring to the legitimacy of their claim, I have tried to read this movement against the background of the advent of postmodernism and its challenge to History. In this article, I tried to do this through Lacanian psychoanalysis. Here, I have used Lacanian real in order to understand the postmodern condition. I have taken the postmodern condition here as reaching the limit of phallogocentric language. For me, the postmodern condition is a crisis of the phallic signifier. From this perspective, I have encountered the absence of metanarratives. I wanted to show that even if the basic facts of History are obliterated through the advent of post-truth and conspiracy theories, there is still reason for History to be alive; still, there is reason for us to be optimistic about if we take the lessons of psychoanalysis seriously. I wanted to show here how present Historians are trying to battle this challenge by referring to crude positivistic empiricism as fundamentally useless, and by accepting the narrative nature of History, we can transform History into a radical discipline and open its windows to the various theoretical innovations that are taking in other disciplines.

Authors: Sharma Mudit , Kamboj Amit Kumar , Ramanathan Rashmi , Vincent Vivin , Shanmugam Jeevithan
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum was introduced by the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India in 2019, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills among medical graduates. This study explores students' perspectives on the CBME curriculum, with a focus on foundational skills, self-directed learning, integration, ethics, and assessment strategies, as experienced by multiple cohorts at the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Institute of Medical Sciences (ANIIMS), Port Blair. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from April to May 2023 among MBBS students at ANIIMS, covering the 2019-2022
batches. A structured questionnaire was used to gather students' feedback on various CBME components, including foundational courses, learning strategies, integration, ethics, and assessment
methods. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed, with Chi-square tests and
ANOVA to examine the association between student responses and their year of joining. Results: Out of 144 participants, a high agreement was observed on the importance of foundational components such as Basic Life Support (100%) and Professionalism and Ethics (99%). CBME learning strategies, including Small Group Teaching and Self-Directed Learning, were positively endorsed, though batch based variations were noted. Significant differences were found in components like Small Group Teaching (p = 0.048) and assessment understanding (p = 0.015), with newer cohorts showing higher
levels of comprehension and appreciation. Integration and ethics were consistently well-regarded across all batches, while challenges were highlighted in areas such as logbook management. Conclusion: The CBME curriculum has been positively received by medical students, with newer cohorts demonstrating a greater appreciation for self-directed and integrated learning approaches. However, logistical and educational barriers remain in areas like logbook management and assessment structure comprehension, indicating a need for continued curriculum refinement. This study provides valuable insights into how CBME is perceived by medical students and highlights areas for further enhancement to ensure competency-based training meets the needs of future healthcare professionals.
Los escogidos, de Patricia Nieto, la construcción de la trama como origen de lo literario en la crónica
Authors: Hernández Acosta Miguel Ángel
Published: December 2024

The chronicle Los escogidos, by Patricia Nieto, is a text that is inserted within the impulse given to the Latin American chronicle from the consolidation of the New Ibero-American Journalism Foundation in the first decade of the 21st century. Its structure corresponds to a story created from testimonies, but beyond establishing that the use of literary tolos and figures is what places it within the literary (as was proposed when conceptualizing the contemporary chronicle), we suggest that the construction of plots narratives (based on a coherent and logical narrative) is what allows it to be considered as literary story. To deepen this, we turn to Hayden White and his narrativization of history.
Network Segmentation as a Defense Mechanism for Securing Enterprise Networks
Authors: Kotha Niranjan Reddy
Published: December 2024

Network segmentation is a critical cybersecurity strategy that involves dividing a network into smaller, isolated segments or subnetworks to enhance security and improve network performance. By limiting access to sensitive data and systems, network segmentation reduces the attack surface and prevents  lateralmovement by malicious actors within an enterprise network. This research article examines the role of network segmentation as a defense mechanism in securing enterprise networks. It explores the methodologies, benefits, and challenges associated with implementing network segmentation. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including a comprehensive literature review and analysis of real-world case studies, to assess the effectiveness of network segmentation in mitigating cyber threats. The findings highlight that while network segmentation significantly enhances security posture by containing breaches and restricting unauthorized access, it also presents challenges such as increased complexity and management overhead. The paper concludes with recommendations for best practices in implementing network segmentation to bolster enterprise security

Authors: Sun Ziyu , Li Hao
Published: December 2024

In order to study the effect of deep learning method in the brightness temperature reconstruction of synthetic aperture radiometer, the gray value of remote sensing image with channel amplitude-phase error and random error is used as the original brightness temperature image for simulation experiment to compare the brightness temperature reconstruction images under traditional Fourier transform, CNN inversion, U-net inversion and Resnet inversion. From the view of image visual effect, Resnet inversion method has the best image restoration effect and the weakest background noise. From the evaluation index, the RMSE of Resnet inversion method is the smallest, which is 6.28K, and the PNSR value is the highest, which is 31.62dB. The second is CNN inversion method, RMSE value is 10.93K, PNSR value is 27.09dB. Therefore, Resnet inversion method can better restore bright temperature image, reduce Gibbs effect and improve image resolution.

Published: December 2024

Dangerous driving on the highway is a significant safety hazard, and existing highway cameras are not used to detect whether drivers are fatigued or distracted. To inform the police of dangerous driving vehicles promptly,In this paper, we propose a complex driving detection system on the basis of YOLO network.The YOLOv8s algorithm is used for real-time analysis, effectively improving detection accuracy and caters to the need for lightweight design. The system combines the characteristics of highway camera settings with distributed cluster deployment, solving the defects of detection blindness and target loss and achieving the function of distributed clustering to detect drivers of passing vehicles. The system can provide adequate support for traffic police to intercept dangerous drivers on highways and give theoretical guidance for the future intelligent transformation of road traffic through experimental verification.The technology could also be rolled out to cover urban roads and additional transportation networks to further ensure traffic safety.

Monetary Policy Reactions and Deficit Financing in Nigeria
Authors: N Deekor Dr. Leelee
Published: December 2024

The study used secondary data which was obtained from the World Bank development indicators and Central Bank Statistical Bulletin between 1981—2022. The Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) was adopted for regression analysis, the variables adopted as independent variables are Domestic debt financing, foreign debt financing, External Reserves, and Exchange rate while real gross domestic product (RGDP) is the dependent variable. The study revealed that both Exchange rate and foreign debt financing have no significant effect to economic growth in Nigeria while Domestic debt financing and external reserves have a significant effect to economic growth. The study therefore concluded that domestic debt financing and external reserves have an unstable effect in the economy (asymmetric effect), this is due to inconsistency in its application in the country. From the research undertaken, we recommend that domestic debt should be channeled into economic activities that will stimulate growth and increase productivity. There should be a deliberate attempt to monitor the usage of domestic debt to avoid capital flight. The government should put a stop on foreign debt financing because it doesn’t have an effect on the nation’s economy. There should be a deliberate plan to increase the external reserves since it serves as the critical channel of financing developmental programmes and augment deficits in most cases.

Musculoskeletal Disorders and psychosocial risks represent two of the most significant health challenges in modern workplaces, with wide-ranging implications for employee well-being and organizational productivity. The primary aim of this article is to explore the design of Occupational Health and Safety training modules tailored to address the dual challenges of Musculoskeletal Disorders and psychosocial risks within the IT sector. By addressing hazards proactively, OHS helps organizations reduce the risk of workplace incidents, which can result in significant financial and reputational costs. Moreover, ensuring employee safety and well-being contributes to higher morale, improved productivity, and a positive organizational culture. Our methodology in realization of occupational health and safety training modules and topics for musculoskeletal disorders and psychosocial risks in the it sectors consisted in calling on experts because safety domain of research is by excellence a domain based on expertise. The safety expert is the real cornerstone of safety and their expertise is transformed into lessons learned that are used for training and improvement of existing safety attitudes. Regarding the relevance of the results, we consider that the structure and content of the training module address key challenges faced by IT professionals in offices, particularly those linked to sedentary work and prolonged computer use. The development of this module represents a significant step toward addressing the occupational health and safety needs of IT professionals. By focusing on education, prevention, and compliance, it not only mitigates risks but also promotes a healthier, safer, and more engaged workforce. Future efforts could expand on this module by integrating digital tools, gamified training methods, or regular feedback loops to ensure the training remains effective and relevant.

This study aimed to formulate and evaluate niosomes containing Phaseolus vulgaris (PV) and Zingiber officinale (ZO) for their antidiabetic activity. Niosomes, non-ionic surfactant vesicles, were prepared using PV and ZO extracts via the thin-film hydration method. The formulations were characterized for particle size, morphology, entrapment efficiency, and in vitro release profile. Antidiabetic activity was assessed through in vitro α-amylase inhibition assay and glucose uptake studies using differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The formulated niosomes exhibited a mean particle size within the nanometer range, indicating their suitability for drug delivery. Morphological examination revealed spherical vesicles with uniform size distribution. Entrapment efficiency of the bioactive constituents from PV and ZO extracts was found to be satisfactory. In vitro release studies demonstrated sustained release profiles over time, indicative of controlled drug delivery potential. Antidiabetic activity assessment revealed significant α-amylase inhibition by the niosomal formulations compared to free extracts. Furthermore, glucose uptake studies demonstrated enhanced glucose uptake by 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with niosomes containing PV and ZO extracts compared to untreated cells.

The present study aimed to examine whether student motivation changes or remains relatively stable after the completion of a teaching intervention of one school year duration focused on the study and understanding of fractals of their everyday world. There were 122 participant high school students of 10th and 11th grade. The tool used to assess student motivation before and after the teaching intervention towards learning in Science in this study, was the Students' Motivation towards Science Learning (SMTSL) questionnaire by Tuan et al. (2005a). It allows for six different motivational factors to be examined: Self-efficacy, active learning strategies, Science learning value, achievement goals, performance goals, and learning environment stimulation. Moreover, student motivation in three different school subjects was examined: Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The comparison of motivational factors was made between the experimental group and the control group. The findings of the statistical analyses, reveal that before the intervention the means of the motivational variables in the two groups did not differ; however, after the intervention, the motivational factors of the experimental group improved significantly in comparison to the motivational factors of the control group, which, on the contrary, decreased, with some exceptions.

Published: December 2024

Linguistic minorities are typically bilingual or multilingual. Their mother tongue is usually limited to use within the home or among members of their community, while the dominant languages in their environment are used for broader functions like education, administration, and mass communication. In this way, language, whether individually or in clusters, serves as a marker of cultural identity for both individuals and groups. This paper investigates language and culture as a significant marker of identity among the Chik Baraik tribe in Jharkhand and Odisha. A qualitative approach was employed using questionnaires and group interviews. The study used SPSS for the analysis of the variables where the statistical significance was considered at p less than 0.05. The study showed that despite being a linguistic minority, the Chik Baraik were proud of their culture, language and social identity.

Authors: Hu Ying
Published: December 2024

This study focuses on the impact of the regulatory framework on the risk management practices of investment funds in China. By analysing key regulatory policy changes between 2018 and 2023, we explore how these changes have shaped the risk management strategies and performance of investment funds. The study adopts a mixed-method approach, combining policy text analysis and empirical studies of fund performance, to assess the regulatory effects and make policy recommendations. The study finds that changes in the regulatory framework have significantly affected the risk management practices of investment funds. Specifically, 1) enhanced liquidity risk management requirements have prompted funds to adopt more advanced risk assessment models; 2) regulations on the use of derivatives have led to the development of more complex hedging strategies; and 3) improvements in the information disclosure system have increased the transparency of fund risks, but also increased compliance costs. The main contributions of this study include: 1) proposing an analytical framework for assessing the impact of regulatory policies on fund risk management; 2) quantifying the impact of regulatory changes on fund risk-adjusted returns; and 3) providing an in-depth analysis of how fund managers have adapted to the new regulatory environment. These findings not only have important implications for the regulation of China's securities market, but also provide practical guidance for investors and fund managers.
