HIVE TEMPERATURE REGULATION BY HONEYBEES IN RESPONSE TO EXTREME CONDITIONS
Authors: Rodríguez-Vásquez Samantha , Gardea-Bejar Alfonso Antero , Romo-Chacón Alejandro , García-Hernández Jaqueline , González-Ríos Humberto , Orozco-Avitia Jesús Antonio
Published: May 2024

Honeybees are considered the primary pollinators of agricultural crops. However, climate change, pesticide use, disease transmission and pests all have an impact on their survival. Temperature is an important consideration, especially when bees are subjected to harsh conditions as a result of the effort required to regulate them within their hives. The brood chamber should be kept between 33 and 35 °C. The recognized temperature thresholds are 6 and 38 °C; deviations above or below these values cause metabolic damage in honeybees; the larger the difference, the greater the stress. These eusocial insects have developed thermoregulating mechanisms in response to adverse environmental conditions; the colony compensates for this difference by either fanning their wings to create air circulation and cause evaporative cooling or raising the temperature by generating endothermic heat to raise the temperature of the breeding chamber. This review brings together the most important and updated references on how to improve colony thermoregulation and its relationship to climate change.

The global landscape is witnessing a significant transformation marked by a rapid increase in the aging population, driven by epidemiological and demographic transitions. Sri Lanka, like many other countries, is experiencing a significant demographic shift with an increase of older population. Notably, Sri Lanka stands out in South Asia, with 12.3% of its population aged 60 or older, the highest proportion in the region. Similar to other countries Sri Lanka also experiencing the increasing of elderly population. Sri Lanka is not geared to cater the elderly population and their needs as well as related health conditions, hence; it is the need in the current context. Objective of this paper is to propose a service delivery framework for elderly and related health care to the Sri Lankan health system based on the current findings. Methodology used are a desk reviews and key informant interviews to gather current data on elderly care and develop the model based on these findings. The development of geriatric health services in Sri Lanka is crucial to ensure that the growing elderly population receives the care and support they need to age healthily and maintain their quality of life.

This study aims to explore how temporary changes in VAT rates affect consumer perception and behavior in Vietnam. The research is conducted based on self-administered questionnaires collected from residents of Vietnam. The snowball sampling technique was utilized to gather the data set during 2023. A questionnaire was prepared and evenly distributed among three main subjects from three different sectors and with income levels in three groups: low; medium; and high, respectively: (1) Workers from the manufacturing and industrial sector; (2) Lecturers from the education and training sector; (3) Managers from the finance and banking sector. A total of 513 usable questionnaires were analyzed. This paper employs the multiple regression analysis model (OLS) to test the study hypothesis. Analysis results reveal that the reduction of VAT in Vietnam from 10% to 8% has significantly impacted consumer behavior, where consumer products within the daily and durable goods categories are anticipated to grow, however, expenditure on entertainment products or services tends to decrease. Additionally, reasons leading to changes in consumer behavior were also discussed in the study. The findings of this paper will offer insightful perspectives for policymakers in formulating future VAT policies, especially considering the items that significantly influence changes in consumer purchasing power following VAT changes.

The problem in this research is how the legal problems in the implementation of the synergy of the Indonesian Police, the Indonesian National Armed Forces and the Community in the effort to tackle terrorism crime, how the current criminal law policy is applied in overcoming terrorism crime and how is the formulation of criminal law applied in tackling acts criminal terrorism in the future. This research method is empirical juridical, and data is collected from library studies, interviews, and observations. The conceptual framework in the study includes the concept of criminal law policies and the concept of criminal acts of terrorism. The results of this study indicate the efforts to tackle terrorism in Indonesia stem from differences in vision and mission between the Indonesian Police and the Indonesian National Army in the aim of synergizing to eradicate criminal acts of terrorism. The emergence of a narrow mindset of some people who think that the issuance of Police Chief Regulation No. 7 of 2008 concerning Basic Guidelines for Strategy and Implementation of Community Policing in Handling Indonesian Police Tasks is seen as an effort to counteract the activities carried out by Babinsa formed by the Indonesian National Army.
POSTNATAL MOTHERS: KNOWLEDGE OF NEWBORN DANGER SIGNS
Authors: Kumar J Dr. Sathish
Published: May 2024

Postnatal mothers play a crucial role in the care and well-being of their newborns. Having knowledge about the danger signs that may indicate potential health issues in newborns is essential for early detection and timely intervention. This knowledge can help postnatal mothers ensure the health and safety of their babies. One important aspect of postnatal care is educating mothers about the danger signs that may arise in their newborns. These danger signs can vary from mild to severe and may indicate underlying health conditions that require immediate medical attention. By recognizing these signs, postnatal mothers can seek appropriate medical help and prevent complications. Some common danger signs in newborns include difficulty breathing, persistent high fever, severe jaundice, poor feeding or inability to suckle, persistent vomiting, excessive sleepiness or lethargy, and abnormal movements or seizures. These signs can be indicators of serious health conditions such as respiratory distress, infections, jaundice, or neurological problems.
Patriarchal Dominance in English Literature
Authors: Shubhangi M. Hiwarkhedka  , Dr. Anshu Sharma
Published: May 2024

Patriarchal dominance has been a prevalent theme in English literature throughout its history. Many literary works reflect and critique the societal norms and power structures that have historically favored men over women. Patriarchal norms prescribe rigid gender roles and expectations for men and women, reinforcing stereotypes and inequalities. Women are often relegated to traditional roles as caregivers, homemakers, and subordinate members of the family, while men are expected to be the primary breadwinners and decision-makers. These gender roles perpetuate unequal power dynamics and limit women's autonomy and agency. Prominent examples include Shakespeare's plays, where gender roles and power imbalances are often central to the plot, and classic novels like Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," which explores women's limited options in a patriarchal society. Over time, literature has evolved to challenge and subvert these patriarchal norms, with authors like Virginia Woolf and Charlotte Perkins Gilman addressing issues of gender inequality and women's autonomy. Feminist literature and criticism have also played a significant role in analyzing and deconstructing patriarchal themes in English literature. Patriarchal dominance, characterized by the historical and societal power imbalance that favors men over women, has been a recurring theme in English literature throughout the ages. This theme reflects and critiques the prevailing gender norms, roles, and inequalities that have persisted within different periods and cultures of English-speaking societies. From early literary works to contemporary literature, patriarchal dominance remains a complex and enduring subject of exploration.

Examining the Persistence of American Housing Discrimination Through the Asian Lens: A Literature Review
Authors: Kim Yoon
Published: May 2024

This paper examines the historically controversial and essential issue of racial influences in housing practices through the Asian scope. While many ongoing debates garnered national attention about the roots of the homeownership gap between Black and White Americans, the story of Asians and their housing struggle in America is vastly underreported. Various discriminatory realtor agencies across the United States still demonstrate racially motivated housing malpractices towards Asians, alluding subconsciously to the persisting stereotypes of the race arising in the 19th century. The aim of this literature review is to thoroughly analyze the roots, status quo, and possible modern solutions to the unseen issue of housing discrimination against Asians in the United States.
Running-Specific Prosthesis
Authors: Olatosi Oluranti
Published: May 2024

Sports help children “develop physical skills that contribute to a lifetime of physical involvement; … learn social and emotional skills; develop moral values; and acquire a better sense of self through increased perceived competence, self-esteem, and self-confidence” (Ewing, Gano-Overway, Branta, & Seefeldt, 2002).  Lower-leg amputations jeopardize children’s ability to continue participating in sports, as it removes a part of the body that is essential for running and sports participation. Running-specific prostheses (RSPs), a type of lower-limb prosthesis, provide a solution to this issue. Compared to daily-use prosthetics, running-specific prosthetics have a higher energy-storage capacity, are more flexible, and are more springy, allowing them to mimic the nature of running biological legs better than daily-use prosthetics. RSPs also have customizations that are specific to the physical traits and activity of an amputee, allowing an amputee to play a plethora of sports. Although children must overcome challenges regarding the change in biomechanics while running with an RSP and accounting for the rapid growth of children, RSPs can provide amputees the opportunity to return to the sports environment.
The Effect of Color on Short-Term Memory Recall
Authors: Zou Emily
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the effect of color on short-term memory retention through a simple flashcard-based assessment. The experiment conducted in Conestoga High School’s Unity Day, randomly assigned participants to two treatments: colored or non-colored flashcards. Participants were instructed to recall the ten words presented to them twice within a 30-second interval. A one-sided two-sample t-test and two one-way ANOVA tests were conducted to determine if there was a difference in the memory retention for the colored flashed card and non-colored flashcard groups and if there was a difference in the memory retention amongst 9th, 10th and 11th graders for the colored flashcard and non-colored flashcard groups respectively. The results were statistically insignificant but limited by convenience sampling and premature stops in the experiment. Future points of interest include larger sample sizes, teacher-student differences and the association of academic intellect with memory retention.

Unraveling Dynamics: Investigating the United Nations’ Role and Peacekeeping Strategies in Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Authors: Priyadarshani H.E.N.
Published: May 2024

The Middle East region can be described as a one where conflicts often arise. The conflict between Israel and Palestine that commenced in 1947 is also such a conflict. The conflict between these two States has erupted in violent forms from time to time till year 2024. The United Nations Organization, which was established to world peace and protection, has intervened to resolve this issue but has so far failed to enforce a permanent solution. The research question studied the lack of strong intervention by the United Nations in resolving the conflict between Israel and Palestine, despite its role as the primary global organization for international peace and protection. The main objective of this research is to study the actions taken by the United Nations Organization in order to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine. This research utilized secondary data sources for qualitative analysis. To date, the United Nations Organization has failed to find and implement a permanent solution to the conflict based on the agreement of both parties. The factors influencing this are as follows: Israel has the support of Western countries. Since Israel is a member state of the United Nations Organization, it is not possible to resolve the conflict through a non-partisan approach. Additionally, the proposals brought forth to resolve the conflict are not of a practical level, which is unacceptable to both states. The powerful central States that dominate the world authority and the United Nations Organization are directly responsible for such dangerous wars between Israel and Palestine. It has become generalized for them to foster such conflicts in the world for their own political goals and agendas.

The Effectiveness of Inclusive Education Policies for Students with Disabilities
Authors: Obah Amerie
Published: May 2024

Purpose: This study sought to examine the effectiveness of inclusive education policies for students with disabilities.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the effectiveness of inclusive education policies for students with disabilities. Preliminary empirical review revealed that such policies played a vital role in promoting educational inclusion and academic success within mainstream educational settings. Despite encountering challenges such as inadequate resources and negative attitudes, inclusive education policies showed promise in creating equitable learning environments. The study emphasized the importance of addressing systemic barriers, promoting positive attitudes, and continuously monitoring and adapting policies to meet the evolving needs of students with disabilities. Overall, the findings underscored the potential of inclusive education policies to foster academic achievement and social inclusion for students with disabilities, contributing to a more equitable and supportive educational system.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Model of Disability, Ecological Systems theory and Critical Disability theory may be used to anchor future studies on inclusive education policies for students with disabilities. The study provided provided recommendations that enhanced theoretical frameworks, improved practice, and informed policy in inclusive education. It emphasized the importance of refining theoretical understandings of disability, providing professional development for educators, and developing comprehensive transition services for students with disabilities. Additionally, the study advocated for policy reforms that promote equity and social inclusion, fostered collaboration among stakeholders, and called for increased funding and support for inclusive education initiatives. These recommendations contributed to advancing inclusive education by promoting more responsive, equitable, and supportive educational environments for students with disabilities.
Jung Personality Complexes: Evidence from Mahabharata Characters
Authors: B. R. Shyam , Aithal P. S.
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The research paper is an interesting blend of social science and mythology. The researchers explain how Jung personality complexes to Professional & Psychology students with the help of characters from Mahabharata. As the personality grows person develops some complex in their personality and which guides person’s behavior and aspirations in life. Each individual has different personalities and different type of complexes in them with different level of intensity. Thus, the outcome of the research helps individual personalities to discover them as well as to understand basic individual personality complexes.
Objectives: The researchers have set the following primary objective and the current study investigates 1 broad research question: To interpret characters from Mahabharata to explain Jung personality complexes.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study is based on both secondary & primary evidence. Hypotheses are stated for the various variables selected and analyzed to prove or disprove the same without any errors.
Findings/Result: There were correlations between Jung personality complexes & from Mahabharata characters to individuals with the ancient Indian texts. As much as individuals behave differently in different situations, our behavioural reactions can be clubbed into personality complexes as similar reactions across ages and cultures. To conclude, we can say that each one of us is uniquely different yet distinctively similar as well.
Research Limitations/Implications: In the present research an attempt is made by the researchers to understand the research gap in the area hence a conceptual idea is proposed and the research goes further to advance significance to discover the degree of relationship to interpret characters from Mahabharata to explain Jung personality complexes.
Originality/Value: Many of the earlier studies have proved the soul of Indian mythology is beyond simple good and evil. If one cares to dig deep, there’s an interesting story at each and every step. Psychologists explain this by segregating personality into a private and public persona. Private is the ‘real’ inner person, while public is the way that the individual presents themselves to the outside world. We may be confident and outgoing in some situations and less sure of ourselves and more retiring in other situations. A case where a shy reserved person joins an organization but eventually becomes an arrogant and stubborn boss. This fits the explanation of how our personalities differ situationally.
Paper Type: The study is based on both secondary & primary evidence. There are many characters in the Mahabharata, with each one having good and bad qualities. Many characters are similar in personality complexes but differ in their ethical characteristics. Hence researchers have tried to identify and give the major characters in the research. However, this is not a definitive list.
Desarrollo de materiales de construcción sostenibles basados en cementantes de óxido de magnesio de bajo impacto ambiental. Aplicación a la estabilización de suelos con sulfatos
Authors:   , Del Castillo García Jesús María
Published: May 2024

This thesis is a compendium of publications on the stabilisation of sulphate soils in the context of civil engineering using magnesium oxide (MgO)-based hydraulic cementitious agents. Previous research related to the use of a cement based on the activation of Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS) through the addition of a low purity MgO has been developed and extended. The MgO used in this research comes from waste or co-products generated in the manufacturing processes and use of refractory material manufactured from the calcination of magnesite ore. The research carried out is based on previous research that led to the development of the aforementioned cementitious material patented jointly by the company Magnesitas Navarra S.A. (MAGNA) and the Public University of Navarra (joint UPNA/MAGNA patent 'Hydraulic binder for construction materials'). This product has demonstrated a very high potential for its use in soil stabilisation, as well as a low reactivity with sulphates, being able to limit the adverse effects produced in the interaction between sulphates and stabilising additives based on calcium oxide (CaO) such as common cements and lime (the only stabilisers admitted in the national regulations for road construction), which results in the generation of hydrated sulphate-aluminates of the ettringite group, with a very high expansive capacity.

Snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) is a recent addition to the Barents Sea fauna, being registered for the first time in the area in 1996. Arctic snow crabs have previously been found to harbour Hematodinium spp. infections. In the present study, haemolymph samples from 142 snow crabs caught in the central Barents Sea in November 2016 were screened for presence of Hematodinium spp. infections by using microscopic examination and two different PCR assays. No positive samples were detected. Hematodinium may not have been present in the snow crabs in this area at the time of sampling.

En este artículo resaltamos la necesidad de transformación de la escuela en países que transitan por una etapa de posconflicto, como Colombia. Uno de los aspectos esenciales de dicha transformación atraviesa la forma misma en que ejercemos la justicia en el contexto educativo. En ese sentido, proponemos una reflexión sobre dos corrientes de justicia: la justicia retributiva y la justicia restaurativa en el contexto escolar, haciendo énfasis en esta última. Sostenemos que, en un país como el nuestro, donde el conflicto armado ha sido negado por décadas y hasta cierto punto ha permeado nuestra forma de relacionarnos con el otro, es fundamental que la escuela y el docente se impliquen en esta transformación. El paso de un modelo de justicia a otro en el contexto escolar no ha sido fácil en Colombia. Sin embargo, a través del compromiso de los docentes se ha logrado concretar experiencias exitosas de implementación de la justicia escolar restaurativa. Concluimos que la figura del docente es esencial para la construcción de una cultura de paz.

Este trabajo busca contribuir al desarrollo de estrategias pedagógicas para el diálogo con estudiantes universitarios, en un contexto nacional marcado por crecientes niveles de violencia social derivados de la "guerra contra el narcotráfico" en México. Al retomar conceptos como trauma psicosocial y educación en contextos de emergencia, destaca la necesidad de abrir espacios curriculares para reflexionar sobre el impacto personal y colectivo de la violencia. La propuesta se inscribe en la pedagogía crítica para la paz e integra prácticas narrativas, círculos restaurativos y mediación. Herramientas pedagógicas permiten al profesorado conducir sesiones de diálogo en un entorno seguro, orientadas a fortalecer vínculos sociales y explorar recursos para la acción individual y colectiva. Escuchar, narrar y actuar son las fases de esta aproximación, que representa un esfuerzo desde la educación para reconstruir el tejido social en sociedades afectadas por violencia generalizada.

REFLEXÕES SOBRE A APLICAÇÃO DO DIREITO DA NEUTRALIDADE NO SÉCULO XXI
Authors: Mageste Castelar Campos Bernardo
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo visa analisar questões relativas à aplicação e vigência do direito da neutralidade atualmente levantadas pelo recente conflito russo-ucraniano. O artigo analisa em especial argumentos apresentados pela doutrina que questionam a compatibilidade do direito da neutralidade com outras regras do direito internacional, sua obsolência devido a alterações nos pressupostos jurídicos da aplicação de suas regras e sua dessuetude em razão de sua não aplicação pelos Estados durante conflitos armados recentes. O artigo conclui que não obstante a significativa redução de sua aplicação em razão de algumas incompatibilidades com outras normas do direito internacional e de sua utilidade ao regular as relações entre Estados em conflito e Estados terceiros, não é possível afirmar que o direito da neutralidade foi extinto ou que não se encontra mais em vigor.
