Authors: Kocot Maria , Kwasek Artur
Published: March 2024

In the current COVID-19 pandemic era, computer skills have become essential for students and academic staff who participate in remote learning or work on online projects, research, and analysis. Due to the need to shift many activities and projects to the virtual world, having computer skills has become critical for effective functioning in the current situation. The aim of the article was to investigate the level of computer competencies of students in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hypothesis was that most respondents have basic computer skills, but they may have varying levels of proficiency in specific computer competencies, such as the use of new software. To achieve this goal, the authors presented empirical research results conducted in February 2021. The study sample included 649 respondents.The research show that the majority of the respondents declared possessing computer competencies such as the use of computers, smartphones/phones, technical internet support, and mobile devices and applications. However, there were some individuals who faced difficulties in operating new software. Therefore, it was recommended to focus on developing computer competencies in the area of new software use through training or courses that will assist those who have difficulty in this area. It is also important to continue monitoring progress and the effectiveness of such actions. This will increase the level of computer competencies in the whole group of respondents, which may contribute to improving work efficiency and increasing job market opportunities. The conducted Pearson correlation allowed us to draw the following conclusions: there are strong positive correlations between all pairs of IT skills, which suggests a mutual relationship.

Use of Experiential Learning in Distance Learning and E-learning of Adults
Authors:   University of Ostrava, Czech Republic, Malach Josef
Published: March 2024

The evolution of theoretical learning concepts brings new stimuli to lifelong learning practice. One of the new theoretical bases appropriate for adult education is an experiential learning theory which analyses and evaluates educational projects and study materials for distance learning as well as e-learning educational programmes from the standpoint of potential learning effectiveness. At the same time, it can be a gnoseological theoretical basis of designing educational programmes for adults, either on a theoretical basis of distance learning, e-learning, or on the basis of their purposeful integration, which is becoming more and more frequent in andragogy. The study gives general tenets of andragogy, presents the main characteristics of experiential learning along with its two major developmental variants – Kolb’s cycle and Jarvis´ revised model of the processes of learning. It defines the basic features of distance learning and e-learning, and formulates general stimuli how to apply experiential learning within these relatively integral educational technologies. In conclusion, it brings about information on practical use of theoretical approaches to teaching pedagogical subjects within educational programmes at universities.
DESIGN AND DEVELOP LOW-POWER MEMORY CONTROLLER FOR GAIN CELL-EMBEDDED DYNAMIC RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY CELL USING INTELLIGENT CLOCK GATING
Authors: Shravan Chintam , Fatima Kaleem , Paidimarry Chandra Sekhar
Published: March 2024

This article focuses on the design and development of a low-power memory controller that contains an intelligent clock gating (ICG) circuit for use with gain cell-embedded dynamic random-access memory (GC-eDRAM) cells. ICG refers to the process by which a memory controller determines when to start or stop the clock. A graphics processing unit (GPU) of today must have a reliable memory controller in order to successfully manage data transactions. The GC-eDRAM is a crucial component of today's GPUs, and this component is required for the GPU to function properly. The proposed design for the memory controller makes use of the ICG circuit in order to achieve maximum efficiency in terms of power consumption. The ICG circuit is responsible for the intelligent regulation of clock signals, which helps to limit the amount of wasteful switching activity and dynamic power waste. The ICG circuit guarantees that power is saved without affecting the performance of the memory controller by selectively gating the clock signal to the memory cells during times in which the memory cells are not being actively used. To enable customizable data transaction burst durations, the design and development process must include the AXI4 full memory-mapped interface protocol. In addition, additional registers and data FIFOs have been included into the design in order to accommodate the variable burst lengths that are made available by the AXI4 protocol. The proposed low-power memory controller architecture is put to the test with an examination of both its logic use and dynamic power consumption in order to determine how effective it is. The designs of the memory controllers with and without the ICG circuit are compared in order to demonstrate the advantages of adding the ICG circuit, which include a decrease in the amount of power that is used by the system and an improvement in its overall performance. The findings indicate that the low-power memory controller that incorporates the ICG circuit is capable of achieving 11% power reductions in comparison to the existing design.

Tecnología como proyecto territorial de conquista y espacio como producción política
Authors: Liceaga Mendoza Rodrigo Iván
Published: March 2024

El presente artículo busca analizar la lógica territorial incorporada en la tecnología para entender las implicaciones de su producción, uso y expansión para la práctica de otra convivialidad y de formas de vida sostenibles. Lo hace a partir de tender un puente entre ecología política, filosofía política, crítica poscolonial y aproximaciones críticas al medio ambiente y la tecnología, para así cuestionar presuposiciones antropocentristas, teológicas y económicas en la base de la construcción tecnológica. Con base en las nociones de espacio como producto de la acción política y de conquista como estructura y principio organizador, se plantea que la tecnología se presenta como exacerbación y movilización de un proyecto territorial de conquista, inacabado pero constante y expansivo, que desconoce y destruye las condiciones de sostenimiento de una existencia compartida.
Social representations of mental illness among professionals and non-professionals illustrated with the example of schizophrenia
Authors: Joanna Góźdź
Published: March 2024

Objective: People with psychotic spectrum disorders may experience social exclusion and its negative effects, so it is important to find out the reason for this exclusion. The paper presents social representations of schizophrenia in the context of traits attributed to persons suffering from schizophrenia as compared to healthy persons by groups of non-professionals and professionals (psychiatrists and psychologists). Method: The participants were 230 individuals aged 23-74, all with higher education. They were asked to assess to what extent 30 personality traits can be attributed to people with schizophrenia and to healthy people. Results: The results show significant interactions between the respondents’ professions and their perceptions of mental health. While all the professional groups have more negative views of people suffering from schizophrenia than of healthy people, the most negative assessments of people with schizophrenia are made by non-professionals. There is a significant interaction between one’s profession and perception of mental health as regards positive traits. Only the group of non-professionals considered the level of positive traits displayed by people with schizophrenia as lower than the level displayed by mentally healthy people. Furthermore, non-professionals assessed mentally healthy people more positively than did both groups of professionals. Conclusion: People with schizophrenia may experience negative effects of exclusion. The research results presented in this paper provide the starting point for explaining the reasons for this. The study indicates a tendency to stigmatize schizophrenics, which is most visible in the attribution of less positive features to them compared to healthy people. This mainly applies to non-professionals. The results indicate the need to conduct educational programs and campaigns about mental illnesses, available to the entire society. Educational efforts aimed at the entire society should provide detailed information about mental illnesses like schizophrenia. Education is the basis for shaping and modifying society’s beliefs about people with mental illnesses.
Intrinsic defects in non-irradiated silicon carbide crystals
Authors: Evgeniy N Mokhov , Pavel G Baranov , Olga P Kazarova
Published: March 2024

A comprehensive study of the intrinsic defects in sublimation-grown SiC crystals, depending on the growth conditions and thermal annealing is carried out. Complexes of the intrinsic defects including carbon vacancy (VC) and impurities atoms are found in the Si-rich SiC crystals grown by physical vapor transport at low temperatures below 2200 °C. Similar defects are also observed in the SiC crystals irradiated with high-energy particles. Intrinsic defects in grown SiC crystals are characterized by high thermal stability, which is associated with the presence of active metastable clusters. Experimental evidence for the presence of the active clusters in the wide temperature range (up to 2600 °C) is presented. It is shown that intrinsic defects can be also introduced in the SiC crystal by high-temperature diffusion from the p-type epitaxial layer. Paramagnetic defects in SiC are considered a material platform for sensing, quantum photonics, and information processing at ambient conditions.

GOING OFFLINE OR STAYING ONLINE? IDENTITY AND STIGMA AS (DE)MOTIVATORS FOR MOBILIZATION IN RADICAL RIGHT MOVEMENTS
Authors: Gagnon Audrey
Published: March 2024

While the radical right is relatively successful on social media, only a fraction of its supporters become activists offline. Why do some individuals become offline activists in radical right organizations, while others prefer to limit their support to online spaces? Following an inductive analysis of interviews with activists and supporters of a radical right organization, this study points to the importance of going beyond classical explanations for activism by focusing on the impact of, and relationship between, group identification and stigma for mobilization. It shows that activists who identify with the organization and consider it stigmatized are motivated to participate in protest actions to speak out in front of this perceived injustice. By contrast, supporters who question the organization's legitimacy in the face of stigma engage with the organization on social media and are motivated by a desire to keep a low profile and to avoid being openly associated with stigmatized actors.
CULTURAL FORM AND PROTEST: ACT UP NEW YORK’S TACTICS OF IRONY AND CAMP
Authors: McDonnell Terence E. , Everhart Katherine
Published: March 2024

The strategic use of irony and camp in protest movements presents a complex interplay between cultural expression and social action. We examine the deployment of these cultural forms in AIDS activism, proposing a social theory of irony and camp in protest. Through an analysis of 188 interviews from the ACT UP Oral History project, we identify three primary effects of irony and camp: diffusion of tension and critique engagement, solidarity building and recruitment facilitation, and invitation across symbolic boundaries to undermine legitimacy. These outcomes stem from the unique cultural forms of irony and camp, which accentuate the incongruities in protest situations and draw attention to symbolic boundaries between discursive communities. Our findings challenge the predominant focus on frame analysis in the cultural analysis of protests, advocating for a deeper examination of how ideas are communicated within social movements.
Efficiency of sparse symmetric matrix solvers in finite element analysis
Authors:   , Bhatt Jay Janak , Bhatt Jay Janak , Hoole S. Ratnajeevan H.
Published: March 2024

In the computer aided design of electromagnetic devices using finite element analysis, the largest computing effort is in solving a sparse, positive definite, symmetric matrix and therefore computational efficiency is the major requirement in solving these problems. Here, the solution time varies as an exponent of matrix size and for many practical problems can vary from a few seconds to days. It is, therefore, logical to seek to bring down the solution time to make CAD more practicable. This thesis introduces a faster method of solution which couples the renumbering scheme used with direct decomposition schemes of solution and the Evan's Conjugate gradient method. By this method, for example, at matrix size 190, the solution time is cut down from 431.33 s in Evan's method without renumbering to 353.13 s in Evan's method with renumbering. The new method is implemented on the package Kantham, which forms a part of the ECE departmental facilities at Drexel university, for the solution of Poisson's equations. Having achieved this thesis's basic goal of making Kantham run faster, the new method is compared with other existing methods of solution in the context of solution time and memory requirements.
Highlighting the Importance of Matrix Metalloproteinase 1, 8, and 9 Expression during the Progression of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

Published: March 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major threats to public health; annually it kills more than 1.5 million people around the globe. Tuberculosis is caused by an intracellular pathogen named Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). This Mtb enters the lung through the respiratory passage by inhalation in healthy individuals. Infection of this disease starts from the settlement of Mtb to the lung alveoli of the host from the external bacilli air droplets. After settlement, the multiplication of Mtb results in the induction of innate immunity through the alveolar macrophages. Compared to other infectious diseases, tuberculosis infection was transmitted rapidly by the infected aerosols released from infected persons to healthy persons through the air. After infection, disease development results in the formation of drug-resistance TB (DR-TB) with four subcategories, i.e. Single-drug resistant TB (SDR-TB), multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB), extensive drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), and total-drug resistant TB (TDR-TB). As a result, this DR-TB may act as a major source of TB death due to spontaneous antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This AMR makes the anti-TB drugs ineffective. In the current scenario, researchers are trying to find the drug target to decrease tuberculosis progression instead of drug resistance. The present review reports that the outcome of research studies showed that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) may act as a suitable target for treating Mtb infection with the help of specific proteinase inhibitors. Recent reports have shown the specific role of matrix metalloproteinases 1, 8, and 9 in the disease progression and its role in normal homeostasis mechanism with the help of specific animal models/In vitro models.
Stem Anatomy of Some Crepis L. (Asteraceae) Taxa and Its Taxonomic Significance
Authors: İnceer Hüseyin , Özgürlük Özge
Published: March 2024

In this study, the stem anatomy of nine Crepis (Asteraceae) taxa was described for the first time from Türkiye. The anatomical data obtained were evaluated in terms of taxonomy with analysis of variance and principal components analysis. The stem mainly consists of a layer epidermis, parenchymatous cortex, collateral vascular bundles, and parenchymatous pith in all taxa examined. Glandular or non-glandular trichomes are found in the epidermal cells of the stem in some species examined. Even though all taxa examined have similar stem anatomy, quantitative traits such as the length or width of the anatomical characters significantly vary among the taxa. In particular, the xylem thickness considerably differs among the taxa studied, according to the results of analysis of variance. Besides, the xylem is thicker in caulescent species than in scapigerous taxa. According to the results of the principal components analysis, the xylem thickness and the epidermis cell length explain most of the total variation with about 82% value among the studied taxa. These results show that xylem thickness and epidermis cell length have a high taxonomic value.
Influences of iso-amyl nitrate oxygenated additive on mahua methyl ester/diesel blends thermal stability and crdi engine performance characteristics
Authors: Kumar Putha Prasad , Pendyala Srinivas , Gugulothu S. K.
Published: March 2024

Mahua oil is a remarkable fuel since it has a similar calorific value to diesel and has similar viscosity, flash point, and boiling points to diesel. However, since mahua oil has a lower cetane number than diesel when utilized as a blend, it displays a longer ignition delay and a greater peak heat release rate, resulting in higher NOx emission. To decrease the negative impact of mahua oil on NOx emission, an effort is made to introduce the ignition improver in different proportions (i.e., 5-20% by vol). Due to its higher latent heat, IAN shows some adverse effects on performance and emission outcomes. An investigation is conducted on a CRDI engine using mahua methyl ester blended with diesel by adding oxygenated additives to the engine characteristics. The emissions like HC, CO, and smoke were reduced by 16.32, 23.56, and 23.12%. The improved combustion process increases NOx and CO2 emissions by 13.62 and 19.89%. Also, an increase in HRR and CP values was noticed at full load operation. Additionally, it is observed that the engine’s performance is enhanced using 15% Iso-amyl nitrate (IAN), indicating that the IAN blend is a useful ignition improver for mahua oil and diesel blends.

It is important to mention in relation to the great interaction of cosmic energy, the theory of the five elements, colors intention of lays out the fundamental bases of his theory and his therapy. As Professor Sunil mentions, information is exchanged with the patient to obtain clinical data, however, an energetic harmony is created between therapist and patient, which is not only exclusive to the beginning of the therapeutic session, but at all times or the therapeutic moments.
Talking about tuning means working on the same frequencies, on the same wavelength, with the INTENTION of our being; For this reason, to guarantee this aspect, it is essential that the therapist also visualize what he suggests to the patient and establish schemes and deep energy ties to work with the biofields, the chakras and the energy of the meridians and colors.
Also by doing so, the therapist can better capture through his sensory hands, the imbalances, the flow of energy, the rhythm and the resonant acts themselves, which are a consequence of his action on the body and mind of the patient.
In this present book, the knowledge of the reader and therapists is enriched, and the efficiency with the color medicine of the respectable professor Agarwal continues to be verified, the wide field of action that he has within the office treating a wide diversity of ailments.
In a simple way we could say that under its own frequency each of the colors when applied to the skin interacts with the cells and their interaction generates the information that reaches the nervous system. Each color point has a certain resonance, the stimulation of an analogous point in the different holograms or the toning or sedation of a certain point, according to the theory of the 5 elements influences us in different areas and at different levels. However, what Professor Sunil Agarwal teaches us, with his Single point therapy color How to circulate heavenly energy in body and his relationship with points on various meridians and color medicine. Just by putting different color medicines on the same point you can treat many health issues.

Concise Introduction to Human Psychology- For 1st Year B.A./B.Sc. (Psychology) Course
Authors: Marya Veena , Marya R. K.
Published: March 2024

Since the fundamental aim of psychology is to understand what we are, it uses both arts and science to achieve knowledge. By incorporating both creative and scientific elements, psychologists can create unique and innovative approaches to understanding behaviour. However, most of the books on psychology are written by authors with degrees in arts stream. In view of the arts-science nature of the subject, a book on introduction to psychology would be ideally authored by a team of authors who are experts in both arts and science. This book “ Concise Introduction to Human Psychology” is unique in this respect. It is co-authored by a postgraduate in Psychology (Veena Marya, MA, Psychology) and a medical physiologist (R. K. Marya, MBBS; M.D., Physiology; PhD) . Due to dual expertise, the subject of introduction to human psychology has been discussed in a way not found in other books available in the market.

Purpose of the study: analysis of measures and directions of countering the activities of organized criminal groups in the field of drug trafficking in new conditions. Research methods: logical, system-structural, statistical methods of scientific knowledge of social processes and phenomena are used in the work. Conclusions: neutralization of the activities of organized criminal groups operating in the field of drug trafficking is one of the strategic directions of international and national anti-drug policy. Of particular concern are the problems associated with the increase in the volume of illicit drug production in areas that are not sufficiently controlled by the authorities, as well as in zones of armed conflict. The Russian Federation actively uses international platforms to promote national approaches in the field of international drug control. However, international cooperation in this area has recently become highly politicized, which has a negative impact on the effectiveness of combating illicit organized drug trafficking, while there is an active merging of the drug business and terrorism. In this regard, the criminal drug market and organized criminal activities in the field of drug trafficking require close attention. Scientific and practical significance: the analysis presented in the article allows us to adequately assess the current situation and develop regulatory and organizational measures to counter organized criminal activity in the field of drug trafficking in new conditions.
