Bridging a transnational mother-daughter's relationship through a memoir
Authors: Putri Widyarini Susilo , McDermott Sinead
Published: December 2023

Bridging the past and present in a family is challenging, particularly if they grow up in a different culture. The hassle of life occupies most people's minds, which leads to abandoning one of the most fundamental kinships, the mother-daughter relationship. This phenomenon appears in a literary work written by Amy Tan entitled The Bonesetter's Daughter, where the protagonist acts apathetic toward her mother's willingness to preserve their family's lineage through a handwritten memoir.Reading the literary work through the lens of Memory Studies helps to understand the mother's unpleasant to hostile behaviours in the protagonist's upbringing; besides her harsh past that caused it, the daughter's obliviousness toward her mother's wishes in getting to know about her real grandmother and the history of their family heightened her disappointment. As an Asian, family ties serve as a vital source of identity and safeguard against life's challenges, and the bond is severed more due to the different communication styles.Realising the importance of reading the forgotten memoir written by her mother became the turning point of their relationship. By willingly reading the mother's memory, finally, the daughter creates a long-wished family connection.

Prevalence of Research Designs and Efforts at Integration in Mixed Methods Research: A Systematic Review
Authors: Morgan David L.
Published: December 2023

This article provides a systematic review of studies that reported on the prevalence of mixed methods research designs and the degree of integration between the qualitative and quantitative results. A total of 17 studies were located that reported on the prevalence of mixed methods research designs in 50 or more articles, with a total coverage of more than 3,000 articles. Comparing the prevalence of three core research designs showed that convergent designs were by far the most common, and that the two less frequently used formats, exploratory sequential and explanatory sequential designs, appeared in a similar number of articles. Additionally, a review of eight studies reporting on the degree of integration indicated that more than one quarter of articles had very low levels of integration. Overall, these results indicate that mixed methods rely heavily on a limited number of research designs, and low levels of integration remain a problem in this field.
La duda razonable y la presunción de inocencia ante el debido proceso en el sistema acusatorio en México
Authors: Osorio-Fernández Queeney Rose
Published: December 2023

El concepto de la duda razonable posee diversas vertientes que deben considerarse y analizarse para comprender su rol en el sistema acusatorio penal en México; asimismo, se encuentra fuertemente relacionado a dos principios jurídicos: el de presunción de inocencia y el in dubio pro reo, el cual indica que, si el juez o tribunal tienen dudas sobre la culpabilidad de un acusado tras valorar las pruebas disponibles, la sentencia o decisión judicial debe favorecerlo. Se puede traducir como “en caso de duda, a favor del reo”.

AIR BUBBLE ENCAPSULATION OF EUKARYOTIC CELLS AND THERAPY FAILURES
Authors: Embi Abraham A.
Published: December 2023

Background: The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce a newly discovered potential dangers of air bubbles used for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes into the human body.At present, the injection of air bubbles into the human body for diagnostic purpose is viewed positively by the medical/scientific community. In Vitro experiments are presented whereby cells isolation by air bubbles could interfere with chemotherapy treatments.Methods: Author’s own saliva sample was spitted out onto the center of a clean 25X75x1mm glass slide. The sample was placed and focused on the viewing platform of a video microscope. A toothpick was used to harvest inner cheek cells and gently transfer onto the spitted out sample. After focusing, areas were selected showing floating cells and air bubbles. Different laminar levels were observed by cells migrating at different levels.While microscopically observing the sample, the glass slide was disturbed by finger tapping, the aim to induce bubble bursting.Results: Deformed cells were observed when adhering to the outer surface of air bubbles. Additionally, undeformed cells seen at two distinct perpendicular layers when trapped within the floating bubbles. Noticed was a selective attraction of cells by the outer edge of the floating bubbles. Cells attached to the bubble’s edge were being deformed and attracted to each other. Cells were also observed passing unattracted when in a separate laminar flow under the floating bubble. The provocative tapping causing air bubbles to cavitate and burst.Conclusions: The bursting of an air bubble is not the only factor in floating eukaryotic cells deformation. In this manuscript video microscopy and still images are introduced demonstrating a newly found horizontal flat parallel energy field in the periphery of the oxygen bubble. This energy is evident in the free-floating air bubble interface as cheek eukaryotic cells adhere only to the flat round edge of a bubble. Cells are attracted, adhered to each other, and deformed by their own intrinsic attraction. Once the bubble bursts, cells and debris are dispersed, with cells adherence partially disturbed. Cell deformations persisting. It could be hypothesized that cancer cells trapped at different laminar layers inside the bubble be refractory to external chemotherapy agents thus retaining their cancer characteristics.
Evaluation of sewage sludge effects on soil fertility and silage maize growth

Published: December 2023

Different methods are being tried all over the world for the safe disposal of sewage sludge. One of these methods is to evaluate the waste in plant production by applying it to the soil. In this study, the potential of using stabilized and dried sewage sludge in silage maize cultivation was investigated. Silage maize was grown by applying the sewage sludge to the soil at different rates [0 t ha-1 (SS0-Control), 20 t ha-1 (SS2), 40 t ha-1 (SS4), 60 t ha-1 (SS6), and 80 t ha-1 (SS8)]. Thus, the material's effects on soil fertility and plant growth were examined. According to the results, the sewage sludge enriched the soil, which contains restrictive factors in terms of fertility and on which maize growth is carried out, with humus and nutrients. However, it was observed that the material does not cause salinity problems in the soil. It was determined that sewage sludge positively affected the growth of silage maize but could not provide sufficient nutrition for the plant in terms of macronutrients. Considering the economic benefits and environmental risks, applying the sewage sludge with a maximum of 60 t ha-1 in silage maize growth is appropriate. However, it would be incredibly beneficial to support the material with chemical fertilizers to increase the silage yield and quality of the plant.

Published: December 2023

This research focuses on the development of hardware and software required to implement optical sensor technology. The optical sensor used is the MAX30102, equipped with infrared (IR) and red-light sources along with a receiver. The signals generated by the sensor are processed by NodeMCU and displayed on the OLED. The calibration results indicate the relationship between hemoglobin obtained using the invasive method and the output of the MAX30102 sensor, which is in the form of wavelength. It has the equation  with an  value of 0.9114. This equation is utilized to program the NodeMCU through the Arduino IDE. Validation and clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate its accuracy and applicability in clinical contexts. The results show that the non-invasive device has an average standard deviation of 0.32, indicating consistent measurement values. The non-invasive device demonstrates an average accuracy of 99.24%, signifying high precision and similarity to invasive methods. This suggests that the device holds potential as an innovative solution for Hemoglobin measurement.

Descripción de las medidas antropométricas de la cadera (relación articulo trocantérica y longitud del cuello femoral) y su concordancia con las prótesis de cadera más usadas en una institución de cuarto nivel del Nororiente Colombiano
Authors:   , Canencio Salgado María Camila
Published: December 2023

El reemplazo total de cadera ha presentado un aumentado progresivo y sostenido en las últimas décadas por diversos factores, entre ellos, el envejecimiento de la población a nivel mundial con mayor expectativa de vida. La discrepancia en la longitud de las extremidades continúa siendo la principal causa de insatisfacción, es por ello que día a día se ha dado importancia a el planeamiento prequirúrgico, dado que existen medidas radiológicas que nos pueden dar información de la morfología de la articulación de la cadera para poder elegir la prótesis adecuada y así restaurar la anatomía y biomecánica normal. Por esta razón este estudio busca caracterizar en radiografías AP de pelvis la relación articulo trocantérica y la longitud del cuello femoral en pacientes de una institución de cuarto nivel en el Nororiente Colombiano. Metodología Estudio de corte transversal analítico en pacientes sanos que se tomaron una radiografía de cadera o pelvis en una institución de cuarto nivel. Se tomarón dos medidas antropométricas como es la relación articulo trocantérica y la longitud del cuello femoral y se obtuvieron variables como género y edad, entre otras. Se usó programa Stata 16 y se realizó la caracterización de las variables cualitativas y cuantitativas, utilizando métodos de estadística descriptivos. Resultados Se recolectaron 401 radiografías con pacientes edad promedio de 60,05 años, la mayoría mujeres en el 74,56%. En cuanto a las medidas antropométricas se obtuvo que el 94,26% para la cadera derecha y 93,52% para la cadera izquierda tenían relaciones articulo trocantérica negativas con promedio de -8mm y que la longitud de cuello femoral promedio fue 45mm. Por otro lado, en la regresión logística se obtuvo que la talla y el sexo tienen relación estadísticamente significativa con la longitud del cuello y la RAT mientras que el peso y la edad no mostraron alterar las medidas. Conclusión Las medidas antropométricas de la cadera varían indudablemente según la población y están directamente relacionadas con la talla de los pacientes. Es por ello que para evitar discrepancia de longitud en los reemplazos articulares de cadera es importante buen planeamiento prequirúrgico para determinar la prótesis que más se adecue. Se recomienda para trabajos futuros tener mediciones en las diferentes poblaciones.
"Martial Law Travels": Gothic Internationalism and Irish Nationalist Newspapers
Authors: Martin Amy E.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: In the nineteenth century, Irish newspaper culture became more experimental in nature. The form of Irish nationalist newspapers as an assemblage of various registers and genres embodied the politics of Irish nationalism and anti-colonialism in the period. These media innovations, as well as the forms of writing disseminated, transformed again during the Great Famine in Ireland (1846–51). During and after the Famine, the gothic was mobilized in newspaper columns, often in service of producing critiques of empire. Examining Irish newspaper writing on famine in India and on the Morant Bay Rebellion, this essay argues that engagement with the gothic in the anti-colonialist press in Victorian Ireland allowed for the emergence of powerful and distinctly internationalist critiques of colonial capitalism and its violent apparatuses.
Payback Time: Dickens and Revolution
Authors: Courtemanche Eleanor
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This essay assesses the long history of political disappointment with Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities , including George Orwell's description of the novel as a counterrevolutionary text that depicts the French Revolution as "no more than a pyramid of severed heads" (59). It suggests instead that the novel's nested use of prophecy and hindsight, borrowed to a certain extent from Thomas Carlyle, supports a reading of revolution as the natural and inevitable result of injustice. Thus the novel can be read along a line of development from Walter Scott's historical novel Waverley , which sees the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion as a foolish mistake, to William Morris's News from Nowhere , in which the protagonist's desired socialist revolution is seen from the far future to have succeeded. Sydney Carton's final prophecy takes part in a vision of the post-revolutionary future that is permitted to omniscient narrators, but usually forbidden to literary characters.
Conrad's Maw: The Buried Histories of Costaguana
Authors: McAuley Kyle
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This essay examines how the legacy of slavery in Joseph Conrad's Nostromo affects narrative temporality and, consequently, the novel's conception of imperial history and extractive futurity. I argue that Sulaco's attempts to forget the San Tomé mine's reliance on the labor of enslaved persons during the era of the Spanish empire results in an ahistorical proto-nationalist mythmaking. Consequently, Sulaco's attempts to declare independence from the Republic of Costaguana subordinate the province even more deeply to imperial capital, trading a pale semblance of self-determination for a massive expansion of the local resource extraction operation guarded by the American military. Through these events, Emilia Gould, the mine chief's wife, emerges as the figure who most profoundly understands the connection between the mined silver ore and the imperial world system in which the province's people and the mine uneasily coexist. In a novel notably devoid of reproductive futurity or eros of almost any kind, the Occidental Republic of Sulaco exploits Emilia Gould's imperial femininity by casting her as the mother figure of the new nation.
Holes in Time: Conrad and the Sacrifice Zones of Standard Time
Authors: Wilson-Bates Tobias
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This essay reads Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent (1907) as a meditation on the system of imperial temporality that facilitated the rise of industrial resource extraction across the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Pushing back against studies that have interpreted the novel as a modernist critique of standardization, I seek to reveal a more dynamic cultural engagement with the idea of time. The characters' many fruitless appeals to time for meaning articulate the heterodox cultural and ideological uses of time during the period, as opposed to its imagined homogenization. By isolating extractive time as a tool and reimagining time and space as resources at the level of the planetary, the novel's confusing scenes of suffering are brought into focus as the outcome of structured sacrifice zones.
Time In-Between: Intratemporality and Coming of Age in Dickens and Nesbit
Authors: Zimmerman Virginia
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This essay examines the causal relationship between coming of age and intratemporality—the experience of multiple times conflated as past, present, and future commingle. It examines Ebenezer Scrooge's reformation, read as a belated coming of age, in Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol (1843) and the more typical coming of age of assorted children in two of E. Nesbit's time-slip novels, The Story of the Amulet (1906) and The House of Arden (1908). Both authors correlate personal growth with the experience of time-slip and the conflation of multiple times within the self. Indeed, as these characters visit other times, journeys that contest the notion of the present as apart from past and future, they come to embody intratemporality.

Published: December 2023

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease distributed worldwide and dominantly related to different types of diseases especially microbial infections, this study aimed to find the relationship between DM mouth microbiome and some demographic factors. Sixty saliva specimens and bacterial oral swabs were collected from randomly selected DM patients, including 29 females and 31 males enrolled in this study, which was obtained from the Al-Mustansiriya University national diabetes center in Baghdad, and other 40 apparently healthy people specimens and swabs were collected from 25 females and 15 males as a control group for the period starting November / 2021 to February / 2022. The results revealed that the most prevalent bacterial genera in the patients' group were Staphylococcus spp. 57(38.26%), Enterobacteriaceae spp. 55(36.91%), Pseudomonas spp. 13(8.72%), Streptococcus spp. and Acinetobacter spp. each was 8(5.37%), and then, Corynebacterium spp. 5(3.36%), and each Neisseria spp., and H. influenza were 2(1.34%). These percentages were significantly different from those in the control group which were Staphylococcus spp. 33(43.4%)(S. aureus 34.21% and S. epidermidis 9.22%), Enterobacteriaceae spp. 32(42.11%), Bacillus spp. 4(5.2%), Acinetobacter spp. 3(3.9%), and each Pseudomonas spp. and Streptococcus spp. were 2(2.7%). In the same context, the results showed there is no significant difference between smokers for patients /control which were  25(17%)/15(19.74%), as well as, non-smokers 105 (71.43%) / 55 (72.37%) and ex-smoking 17(11.57%)/6(7.89%) in bacterial isolates foundation in the oral cavity of DM patients and control. Acidic oral pH is the predominant pH among patients and control individuals, in spite of there being no significant differences among different oral pH levels. As well as the results revealed that gender does not affect the types of the oral microbiome.

Published: December 2023

This study was conducted to detect the concentration of lead and cadmium in baby foods, (18) samples were examined, which are the most available from various local markets in the city of Baghdad (at a rate of (9) samples of baby food consisting of cereals and (9) samples of baby foods consisting of vegetables). All samples were examined using an atomic flame absorptiometry (AAS-7000), all results showed the presence of lead and cadmium and the highest concentration value of lead in baby foods consisting of cereals (1.0986) and cadmium in baby foods consisting of vegetables (0.0015) ppm. Lead exceeded 100% limitations and cadmium did not exceed that. The results reported on the risks of contamination, as the mean daily intake (g/kg/d) for lead (1.3538) and cadmium amounted to (0.010), and the target hazard quotient index was high for the index (THQ>10) for lead in most of the samples examined and reached (THQ<10) in some samples examined, while cadmium all samples reached an index of (THQ<10). The study showed an increase in lead concentrations and perceptible risks and did not report an increase in cadmium concentrations outside the determinants, but it warns of imperceptible risks to the consumer. The study showed statistically significant differences between the levels of lead and cadmium and between the studied species and did not show statistically significant differences between the origins at the level of significance (0.05). It has been shown that these products pose a risk to children when consumed, so these products must be banned and ways must be found to reduce or prevent these pollutants with these products or find appropriate alternatives.

Narcissus tazetta, a member of the Amaryllidaceae family, is known to be rich in bioactive metabolites such as alkaloids, phenolics and flavonoids, which have been found in nearly every species in this family. N. tazetta cultivated in Iraq, had not previously been studied for its active components; thus, the current study used phytochemical screening and phenolic compounds estimation, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Results showed that the plant alcoholic extract was rich in alkaloids, polyphenols and flavonoids besides tannins, polysaccharides and saponins. Qualitatively; TLC and HPLC chromatogram for total phenolics and flavonoids compounds revealed the presence of Gallic acid (GA), Caffeic acid (CA), Paracumarin acid (P-c), Chlorogenic acid (Ch), Catechin (Ca), Hydroqunolinon (H) with more abundant content in Vanillic and Salycilic acids as phenolic compounds; beside,  Rutin (R), Quercetin (Q), Apegenin (Ap), Luetolin (L), and Kaempferol (K) as flavonoids. Dried bulbs of N. tazetta contain total phenolic compounds reached 90 mg/g and total flavonoids in a quantity of 0.47 mg/g. Plant bulb analyzed by colorimetric reaction assay.

While analytical solutions to Quadratic Assignment Problems (QAP) have indeed been since a long time, the expanding use of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) for similar issues gives a framework for dealing with QAP with an extraordinarily broad scope. The study's key contribution is that it normalizes all of the criteria into a single scale, regardless of their measurement systems or the requirements of minimum or maximum, relieving the researchers of the exhaustively quantifying the quality criteria. A tabu search algorithm for quadratic assignment problems (TSQAP) is proposed, which combines the limitations of tabu search with a discrete assignment problem. The effectiveness of the proposed technique has been compared to well-established alternatives, and its operating principle is illustrated with a numerical example.
After repeating the solution of each issue (8) once and recording the algorithm results, it showed its agreement, once from a total (375) repetition of the experiment while the number of times the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) arrived (2) as for the Firefly (FA) Algorithm giving (117), also Genetic (GA) and Particle Swarm (PSO) gives (120) and the Tabu Search algorithm (174). The proposed technique (TSQAP) is shown to yield a superior solution with low computing complexity. MATLAB was used to generate all of the findings (R2020b).

In this study, dynamic encryption techniques are explored as an image cipher method to generate S-boxes similar to AES S-boxes with the help of a private key belonging to the user and enable images to be encrypted or decrypted using S-boxes. This study consists of two stages: the dynamic generation of the S-box method and the encryption-decryption method. S-boxes should have a non-linear structure, and for this reason, K/DSA (Knutt Durstenfeld Shuffle Algorithm), which is one of the pseudo-random techniques, is used to generate S-boxes dynamically. The biggest advantage of this approach is the production of the inverted S-box with the S-box. Compared to the methods in the literature, the need to store the S-box is eliminated. Also, the fabrication of the S-box has a very large key space as it depends on the user's key. The encryption-decryption method allows changing pixel positions with the help of dynamically generated S-boxes, images, videos, etc. Thus, the study shows that a new method of S-boxes for dynamic cipher algorithms can be easily generated and applied to image encryption.
El aprendizaje desde la complejidad. Fenómeno sujeto a, confuso y caótico

The human being has been, for centuries, the subject of study from various scientific approaches; in some of them it has been found that he is an individual who possesses behaviors like some animals. However, he differs from them by his ability to anticipate, analyze and conceptualize the tools used for his survival and, in addition, by his capacity to adapt to the change to which he is continuously exposed. Therefore, in the development of these skills, thousands of years of study of their environment have been necessary; that is why learning has been one of the main instruments of the evolution of human beings. Thus, in this article of reflection, there are some of the aspects that must be taken into account when transmitting knowledge, whether in the social, cultural, emotional, academic, psychological context, among others; that is, for this to be a holistic learning, based on the fact that the teaching-learning processes do not occur in a linear way, but that these converge in a complex and chaotic manner.
Consumer Demographic factors and their impact on Consumer Attitude towards Green Durable Products in Delhi/NCR

Demographic factors are considered the basic factors of any study because these factors laid the foundation for other important factors. It has been noticed that demographic factors are the important factors influencing consumer environmental behavior. However, sometimes the role of demographic factors which makes any research a subject of criticism therefore this research will also try to discuss the impact of demographic factors in forming consumer attitudes toward green durable products. The present study will also focus on green durable products as India is considered the largest consumer durable product market in the world. Due to environmental- issues, businesses are now a day trying to be compatible with a sustainable development approach and moving towards green marketing. As a sign of conclusion, green products coming in the light and consumers are going towards the same with an understanding that these products can have the solution to environmental problems. Therefore, to know the consumers’ understanding towards the same demographic factors have more significance. To fulfill the purpose of the study primary data will be collected from the 252 respondents through a well – structured Likert scaled questionnaire. The sample is selected with the help of a simple random sampling method. Descriptive and inferential statistics will be used to prove the hypotheses of the study with help of SPSS software (version 26).

Background: Extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants, with birth weights less than 1000 g, often experience challenges in postnatal growth. This study aimed to assess the growth patterns of ELBW infants over a 3-year period, focusing on statural catch-up growth. Methods: Anthropometric measures (z-scores) were obtained at birth, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months for 87 ELBW infants born between September 2016 and September 2018. Their growth data was compared to WHO growth standards without adjusting for gestational age. All preterm infants received preterm formula for an average of 4-6 months. Results: ELBW infants showed significant catch-up growth in weight-for-age (WAZ) and length-for-age (LAZ) during the first two years of life, while weight-for-length (WLZ) showed an initial increase followed by a mild decline. By age 3, a substantial proportion of infants achieved normal growth parameters. Specifically, 78% had normal WAZ, 90% had normal LAZ, 87% had normal WLZ, and 91.5% had normal head circumference z-scores (HCZ). Overweight was observed in 7.4% of ELBW infants at age 3. Conclusion: ELBW infants fed preterm formula for 4-6 months demonstrated significant catch-up growth during the first 12-18 months of life, with continued catch-up in LAZ during the third year. A high percentage of these infants achieved normal growth parameters by age 3, emphasizing the effectiveness of early interventions in improving postnatal growth in ELBW infants.
