Authors: Kuldeepsingh Mohadikar  , Prasanna S. Lanke
Published: February 2024

Character is one of the most important elements in any work, in any fictional work the plot is a centre on the main character and the main character known as the protagonist of the fictional work. Normally a character who has a promising trait often becomes a main character, in literary works the character who has conventional Heroic qualities, courage, morality, and idealism that character is known as a hero in literary work. A character who has a bad person who has only bad intentions and who doesn’t have a true moral code that character is known as a villain. Nowadays another character is very important that is an Anti-Hero.The present study shows, how Mario Puzo’s Anti-hero has influenced Indian cinema. This chapter explains what is an Anti-hero?, and various definitions of Anti-hero. This article provides information about Mario Puzo’s Anti-hero and shows how he influenced Indian films. The Anti-hero genre is not new to literature, but Mario Puzo’s ‘The Godfather’ introduced the Anti-hero to films and the same effect is seen in Indian films too. Mario Puzo has done screen writing work in many movies viz. In The Godfather, the Last Don through these popular movies Mario Puzo introduced the antihero in movies. Like the antihero written by Mario Puzo, many Anti-heroes have been portrayed in Indian films. Movies like ‘Don’, ‘Deewar’, ‘Vastav’, ‘Satya’ and ‘KGF’ have played antiheroes like Mario Puzo’s antihero.
Tishani Doshi’s “Listening to Abida Parveen on Loop I Understand Why I Miss Home and Why It Must Be So”: A Pastiche and Epitome of Hypernationalism
Authors: Jadeeda Saleem
Published: February 2024

Tishani Doshi, an Indian poet, journalist, dancer and a progeny of cross-cultural parents delineates herself as a hyper nationalist in her book “A God at the Door “which is an exquisite collection of many verses and it reaches its climax in the poem “Listening to Abida Parveen on Loop I Understand Why I Miss Home and Why it Must Be So.” Hypernationalism is extreme nationalism and believing in preserving the culture and national identity of a nation. A pastiche is a work of art, piece of writing that is created by deliberately copying the traits related to subject matter, extracted from different works and loosely mixed. Its intention is serious. Thus it is also a pastiche of Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia regarded as the earliest surviving Literature. The poem also epitomizes the quest of an immigrant in an alien land.

Echoes of ‘Untouchable Lives’: A Study on Bama’s Sangati as a Dalit Feminist Narrative
Authors: Deepa Lakshmi P
Published: February 2024

Literature is as old as human language.  It has the power to transcend the boundaries across the world, thereby sharing all kinds of human experiences.  Seen as a reflection of the society and the people residing in it, literature mirrors the lives of those who are marginalized as well as secluded from the mainstream society.  And when it comes in the Indian context, it is the Dalit community becomes the utmost victims of the traumas of marginalization. As a part of the literature of the marginalized , Dalit literature enabled the articulation of the growing aspirations of Dalits in a new language. This paper is an attempt to analyse the rigid caste barriers existing in the Indian society and also examines how literature has emerged as an iconic tool in sharing the hopes and aspirations of Dalits, previously branded as ‘the untouchables. This paper also examines how Tamil Dalit Feminist writer Bama’s novel Sangati becomes an epitome of Dalit feminist narrative.

Мета роботи. Оцінити рівні прозапальних цитокінів в ясенній рідині та маркерів кісткового метаболізму в сироватці крові в хворих на генералізований пародонтит після проведеного ортопедичного лікування. Методи дослідження. В рамках роботи метало- керамічні шини-протези виготовлені 30 хворим на генералізований пародонтит І-ІІ ступеня тяжкості, хронічного перебігу, віком 32-45 років, нарівно чоловіків та жінок. Поглиблене клініко-лабораторне дослідження хворих проводили до початку ортопедичного лікування, після препарування опорних зубів та після ортопедичного лікування – у найближчий термін (через 2-3 дні після фіксації незнімних конструкцій) та у віддалений термін (через 6 та 12 місяців). Для описання змін у тканинах пародонта вивчали динаміку прозапальних цитокінів ММП-8, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α в зразках ясенної рідини. В якості маркерів кісткового метаболізму визначали вміст у сироватці крові тартратрезистентної кислої фосфатази (TRAP), кісткової лужної фосфатази (BAP), остеокальцину та С-кінцевого пропептиду I типу проколагену. Наукова новизна. За даними біохімічного дослідження ортопедичне лікування здатне призвести до дестабілізації стану навколозубних тканинах у найближчий термін спостереження, зокрема після препарування зубів під металокерамічні конструкції. Травмування маргінального пародонта викликає стрімке зростання рівня прозапальних інтерлейкінів IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α від вихідних значень (Р<0,001), тоді як вміст ММП-8 в ясенній рідині зростає повільніше, набуваючи найбільших показників через 2-3 тижні. Після фіксації незнімних конструкцій рівні прозапальних цитокінів нормалізуються, а через 6 та 12 місяців відповідають вихідним значенням (Р>0,05). У віддалений термін спостерігається покращення клінічних показників порівняно з даними на початок лікування. Встановлено збереження рівнів мінеральної щільності кісткової тканини (BMD) за даними комп’ютерної томографії (Р > 0,05). Для маркерів кісткового метаболізму достовірних відмінностей показників у різні терміни спостереження не виявлено (Р > 0,05). Висновки. Згідно з результатами проведеного клініко-лабораторного дослідження ортопедичне лікування хворих на генералізований пародонтит дозволяє стабілізувати стан тканин пародонта та призупинити перебіг запально-деструктивного процесу.

Мета дослідження – на основі динаміки ліпідних та імунологічних параметрів оцінити ефективність лікування генералізованого пародонтиту початкового – І ступеня у хворих на атеросклероз. Методи дослідження. Ефективність лікування генералізованого пародонтиту (ГП) початкового – І ступеня оцінювали на основі динаміки ліпідних і імунологічних параметрів у 26 хворих на атеросклероз: 15 осіб – основна група та 11 хворих – контрольна група. У ротовій рідині хворих груп дослідження визначали вміст тригліцеридів (ензиматичний гідроліз з наступним визначенням гліцеролу колорометрично) та активність ліпази (кінетичний, колометричний метод). Вміст концентрації Il-1 та ФНП-α у ротовій рідині визначали імуноферментним методом з використанням стандартних наборів фірми «Diadone» (Франція) та «Immunotech» (Франція), відповідно. Наукова новизна. В результаті проведених досліджень встановлено зниження вмісту тригліцеридів – на 52,89%, IL-1β – на 47,58 %, ФНП-α – на 45,82 %, на тлі зростання активності ліпази – на 39,40 %, р<0,01, р<0,05, стосовно даних до лікування. При цьому, у осіб контрольної групи застосування загальноприйнятих методик для курації дистрофічно-запальних захворювань тканин пародонту не впливало на покращення значень вивчених ліпідних і імунологічних параметрів. Висновок. Отже, в результаті застосування розпрацьованої ними лікувально-профілактичної схеми, вдалося досягти покращення і стабілізації ліпідних і імунологічних параметрів у ротовій рідині, при курації генералізованого пародонтиту початкового – І ступеня у хворих на атеросклероз.

Implementation of Sustainable Finance Regulation for Financial Institutions in Indonesia
Authors: Prabowo Hayu S
Published: February 2024

The interaction between people and the environment are very vital because functioning ecosystem services are important resources for people. Economy is a subsystem of human society, which is also a subsystem of life on earth and its ecosystem. The issue of environmental change has shifted from a peripheral concern of scientists and environmentalists to being a central issue in global policymaking. To ensure global long-term financial stability and economic development, financial institutions need to significantly change their performance to promote more responsible and sustainable business practices. The Financial Services Authority of Indonesia has unveiled a roadmap, which sets forth the end goal of sustainable finance in Indonesia by the financial services industry and determines the benchmark for improvements in sustainable finance. This paper explains the reasoning and implementation of sustainable financing policies under the term of Environment, Social, and Governance concepts. This paper explains the complementarities of the Islamic worldview and sustainable financing policies by opening up the topic of the scientific nature of heterodox Islamic economics in particular. The term sustainable financing conveys the fact that society and economics, finance, environment, governance, polity, institutions, etc. cannot be independent of a unique and common set of moral and ethical values. The ESG concept is completely in line with the Maslahah concept under shariah law. It embeds moral and ethical values in the body of heterodox Islamic economic thought aligned with the shariah ruling.

Relative Freshness Stochastic Hybrid Systems Markov Chain (RF-SHS-MC) model for the study of Age of Information
Authors: Reddy Y. Arun Kumar , Venkatesh T G
Published: February 2024

The Age of Information (AoI) quantifies the freshness of status updates
in a remote monitoring system. This paper introduces a new technique to
calculate the average AoI efficiently using stochastic hybrid systems
(SHS) analysis. In this paper, the relative freshness of packets in a
queueing system is used to define the discrete states of the SHS Markov
chain. We validate the average AoI for M/M/1/1 and M/M/1/2 queuing
systems with First Come First Serve (FCFS) queuing discipline using this
relative freshness approach. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to
dual-queue status update systems. We also validate the known results for
the packet-dropping probability and the probability that a packet is
informative or successfully delivered.

Safety-optimized Strategy for Grasp Detection in High-clutter Scenarios
Authors: Li Chenghao , Zhou Peiwen , Chong Nak Young
Published: February 2024

The detection accuracy and speed of grasp detection models on benchmarks are the focal points of concern in the robotic grasping community. Especially in a collaborative robot setting, the safety of the model is an essential aspect that cannot be overlooked. In this paper, we explore how to enhance the safety of grasp detection models in autonomous vision-guided grasping. Specifically, we propose a simple yet practical Safety-optimized Strategy, which consists of two parts. The first part involves depth prioritization, optimizing the grasp sequence from top to bottom based on the order of depth values, which can mitigate the issue of grasp collisions that may arise when the depth value of the object with the highest grasp quality is significantly higher than that of other objects in high-clutter scenarios. The second part is false-positive protection, where we introduce the robust Aruco marker as the lowest grasp priority. The marker is fixed at certain positions within the camera’s field of view, enabling the robot to halt its movement, thereby restraining the robot from grasping objects that should not be grasped. Once the marker disappears, the robot can resume its operations. We validate our method through real grasping experiments with a parallel-jaw gripper and an industrial robotic arm, demonstrating its effectiveness in high-clutter scenarios.
Electromagnetic Wave Generated by Inductor and Its Application in Space Propulsion
Authors: Zhu Qiang
Published: February 2024

A time-varying current flows through an inductor. The time-varying magnetic field excites an induced electric field and an induced electromotive force is generated in the coil winding. The supply potential blocks the induced electromotive force from generating conduction current. The time-varying induced electric field excites a magnetic field, forming an electromagnetic wave. A current-carrying conductor and the inductor are fixed together to form a system. The conductor is subjected to an Ampere force in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic wave is independent of the inductor and independent of the system. The Ampere force is an external force. It can drive the system. Like rocket engines, the system enables propulsion in space. It has the advantage of requiring only electrical power, not propellant.
A Resonant Tank Based Approach for Realizing ZPA in Inductive Power Transfer Systems
Authors: Abhilash B , B Arun Karuppaswamy
Published: February 2024

A load-independent constant current (CC)-constant voltage (CV) output is
an important requirement of inductive power transfer (IPT) systems for
electric vehicle charging applications. Zero phase angle (ZPA) is also a
desirable feature, to ensure a lower power rating requirement for the
switching converter. CC and CV output along with ZPA can be achieved by
using a suitable compensation topology. Equation manipulation techniques
can be used for designing the compensation topology. But, it can be
mathematically intensive especially for higher order topologies. To
overcome this problem, resonant-tank based approaches are adopted in
several works to achieve CC and CV conditions. However, equation-based
approaches are depended upon either wholly or partly for realizing ZPA.
This approach can be tedious and lacks physical insight. The proposed
method extends resonant tank approach to achieve ZPA also, besides CC
and CV. The need for a separate method to achieve ZPA is eliminated.
Further, it simplifies the process in arriving at the constraints that
ensure ZPA. As a sample validation, the proposed method is applied to a
S-SP compensation topology. The CC-ZPA and CV-ZPA constraints for the
S-SP topology are shown to be in line with the ones arrived at using an
existing equation-based impedance approach. The simplicity of the
proposed method can be observed from the sample validation.

The Vaia Storm had a significant impact on forests and on the related sector in North-Eastern Italy, considerably influencing forest management and the wood supply chain. Five years after the event, on October 30th 2023 in the Aula Magna of the Agripolis campus of the University of Padua, young researchers from the TESAF and DAFNAE Departments presented their results from ongoing research on windthrow and related cascade disturbances (e.g. bark beetle outbreaks). In the first part of the day, contributions from the various regions (Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Veneto) and the autonomous provinces (Bolzano/Bozen and Trento) were presented, with an update on the post-event management experiences and problems. In the second part, the projects financed by the University of Padua were presented (VAIAFRONT of TESAF and the “Young Researchers for Vaia” initiative), followed by talks delivered by doctoral students and research fellows who presented the main results relating to the research conducted on the Vaia storm. The problem was addressed from different points of view and with a multidisciplinary approach, analyzing aspects related to silviculture and forest ecology, mechanization and forest uses, entomology, hydrology, geomatics and the socio-economic context. Given the interest of the topics covered, here we report the summary of the contributions presented by the young researchers, with the hope that this will encourage the exchange of knowledge and provide inspiration for further collaborations and in-depth studies.

Volume sampah di kota Balikpapan diperkirakan mencapai 380 hingga 420ton per hari. Pada saat ini, Tempat Pembuangan Akhir Sampah (TPA) yang berada di wilayah kelurahan Manggar mendekati kapasitas yang berlebih. Pemerintah memperkirakan kawasan TPA hanya akan bertahan hingga tahun 2026 yang akan mendatang. Untuk membantu mengurangi sampah yang terbuang secara percuma, warga RT 50 PJHI – Batakan memiliki beberapa kegiatan yang sangat bermanfaat. Salah satu contohnya adalah kegiatan Gerakan Donasi Sampah, Jelantah dan Koin Ku (GADIS JELITAKU). Gerakan donasi sampah memanfaatkan hasil limbah plastik, kertas, limbah organik, limbah minyak jelantah, dan koin untuk didaur ulang kembali menjadi barang yang memilki harga atau bernilai ekonomis. Namun pengadaan fasilitas umum baik dari segi kebersihan, Kesehatan, dan keselamatan masih sangat kurang. Fasilitas prasarana kebersihan atau tempat sampah yang sudah tidak layak pakai pada kawasan tersebut akan digantikan tempat sampah dengan penambahan 3 kategori pemilahan sampah. Dengan adanya rekondisi atau redesain tempat sampah yang baru diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kesadaran warga akan pentingnya menjaga fasilitas kebersihan dan kebersihan lingkungan itu sendiri serta menambah tingkat kreativitas dan inovasi dalam memanfaatkan limbah sampah.

This service is about training and practice in carrying out fardhu kifayah carried out at the Amirulhaq Campus Mosque, Balikpapan University. The service was carried out to answer the anxiety faced by the community, namely that attention to the care of corpses was becoming increasingly low, so it seemed as if the responsibility for caring for corpses was handed over only to the fardhu kifayah community. The focus of the problem in this service is to guide and train participants in the process of administering and managing people who have died. The training aims to provide participants with knowledge and insight into how to handle corpses. Furthermore, it motivates so that after this training participants become involved if someone dies in their environment, especially their own family. This activity begins with the delivery of the activity stages from the beginning to the end of the training. The activity stages begin with participant registration and are then divided into groups of both male and female participants. Next, the implementation method provides material about handling people who have died and matters related to death. Then it continues with the practice of cutting the shroud, washing, shrouding, and praying the body. The results of this activity show that the participants gained experience in the form of knowledge so that they could know and understand both the concept and practice of implementing fardhu kifayah.

Um novo momento Sputnik? O papel do 5G na disputa comercial entre China e EUA (2017-2020) e sua influência nas estruturas de poder segundo a teorização de Susan Strange
Authors: De Oliveira dos Santos Paloma
Published: February 2024

A ascensão da guerra comercial entre China e EUA a partir da posse do presidente estadunidense Donald Trump (2017-2020) fez emergir, não apenas o debate acerca das relações diplomáticas e comerciais entre ambos os países, mas também em relação ao desenvolvimento da tecnologia 5G. Com a proibição de circulação de produtos da Huawei (principal fabricante da tecnologia citada no país concorrente dos EUA) entre representantes do governo americano em 2018, e a proibição da compra de equipamentos por parte das empresas estadunidenses em 2019, emerge a questão do por que o ataque a fabricante chinesa no país. O trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a questão a partir dos escritos da inglesa Susan Strange, em especial do modelo de análise de poder proposto em sua obra ‘State and Markets’. Pretende-se expressar, a partir do referencial teórico apresentado, que a tecnologia 5G é uma peça chave para a manutenção e expansão das estruturas de poder contemporânea, sendo este o motivo de perseguição e debate no conflito contemporâneo.

Introduction: Cervical cancer, a significant public health issue, necessitates reliable diagnostic strategies for early detection and management. In the pursuit of effective cervical cancer screening strategies, the integration of colposcopy and HPV-DNA testing is critical, especially in high-risk populations. The study evaluates the diagnostic efficacy of these methods in patients presenting with symptoms indicative of potential cervical malignancy. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, President Abdul Hamid Medical College and Hospital, Kishoreganj, Bangladesh. The study included a total of 82 participants collected over a 1-year period from July 2022 to June 2023 following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients with VIA Positive diagnosis, abnormal pap-smear results, contact or abnormal per-vaginal bleeding, foul-smelling per-vaginal discharge, and an unhealthy cervix were included in the study, while currently pregnant women, nulliparous, and postmenopausal women, patients with cervical or vaginal growths, and non-cooperative patients were excluded from the study. Result: The mean age of participants was 36.51 years, with most marriages occurring at an average age of 17.07 years. The study identified a high prevalence of multipara status (50.0% had 2-3 children, 36.6% had more than 3). The majority of first deliveries occurred between ages 16 and 22. A significant correlation was found between age and parity (r = .502, p < .01), and a strong association between age of marriage and age at first delivery (r = .815, p < .01). HPV-DNA positivity was 7.3%, while abnormal colposcopy findings (CIN I-III) were observed in 40.7% of cases. Negative correlations were observed between age of marriage and colposcopy findings (r = -.308, p < .01). Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of age, marital history, and parity in the context of cervical cancer screening. The low HPV-DNA positivity rate compared to the higher incidence of abnormal colposcopy findings suggests the need for a combined diagnostic approach. The findings advocate for tailored cervical cancer screening strategies that integrate both colposcopy and HPV-DNA testing, especially in resource-limited settings.
