Authors: Karuna Dr. Vikram , Chandra Dr. Satish , Verma Dr. Poonam , Bharas Dr. C. B. , Verma Mrs. Deepshikha
Published: December 2024

Due to its deep sociocultural roots, caste-based discrimination is still a major problem in India. The National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) reported over 50,000 cases of atrocities against Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in 2022, despite constitutional provisions and legislative measures such as the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. Despite its comprehensiveness, the legal system is beset by societal biases, judicial delays, and police indifference. This essay examines systemic shortcomings, emphasizing the gaps in the administration of justice through significant incidents like Karamchedu and Khairlanji. It offers specific reforms like police training, fast-track courts, and victim rehabilitation programs after critically evaluating the effectiveness of legislative protections, judicial interventions, and administrative procedures. The study emphasizes the need for a multidimensional approach involving legal enforcement, education, and public awareness to address the deep-seated inequalities and ensure the realization of constitutional principles of equality and justice.
Türkiye'de Yapılan 1965 Genel Seçimlerinin Eskişehir Özelinde İncelenmesi
Authors: Çalıkuşu Aykanat Burcu
Published: December 2024

Demokrasinin vazgeçilmez unsurlarından biri seçimlerdir. Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarında çok partili siyasi hayata geçmek adına çeşitli partiler kurulsa da çok partili siyasi hayata geçilmesi II. Dünya Savaşı’nın sonunda oldu. 1946 yılında Demokrat Parti kuruldu ve iktidar partisi Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi’nin karşısında bir muhalefet partisi olarak yerini aldı. Halkın 1950 seçimlerinde tercihini yeni kurulan partiden yana göstermesi ile 1950 seçimleri sonunda Türkiye’de on yıllık DP iktidarı başlamış oldu. On yıl içinde yapılan üç seçimde DP birinci parti olarak çıkarken, CHP ana muhalefet partisi olarak Meclis’te yerini almıştı. Türkiye’nin büyük bir değişim ve dönüşüm yaşadığı DP’li yıllar 27 Mayıs 1960 Darbesi ile sona ermişti. 1960 Darbesinden sonraki ilk seçim askerin gölgesi altında yapılan 1961 seçimleriydi. Bu seçimlere CHP ve CKMP’nin yanında DP’nin mirasına aday olan partiler de katılmıştı. 1960’lı yıllar aynı zamanda Türkiye’nin koalisyon hükümetleriyle tanıştığı yıllardı. Hem iç politikanın hem de dış politikanın oldukça çetin geçtiği süreçte 1965 yılında yeni bir seçim dönemine girilmişti. Siyasi yelpazenin hemen hemen her kesiminden temsilcinin yer aldığı 1965 seçimleri bu anlamda önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki 1965 seçim süreci Eskişehir özelinde ele alınacaktır. 1965 seçimlerine giderken Eskişehir’de siyasi partilerin seçime hazırlıkları, adayları ve vaatleri incelenecek, seçim sonuçlarının analizi yapılacaktır.
Riječ Božja u izgradnji odraslih vjernika
Authors: Kljajić Stipo
Published: December 2024

Dogmatska konstitucija o božanskoj objavi Drugoga vatikanskog koncila Dei Verbum ističe da su »Crkvi Pisma, zajedno sa Svetom predajom, uvijek bila i jesu vrhovno pravilo njezine vjere«, odnosno da »proučavanje Svetoga pisma treba biti takoreći duša svete teologije« (DV, b r. 21.24), jer je, kako je ustvrdio još i sv. Jeronim, »nepoznavanje Pisama, nepoznavanje Krista«. Stoga se u prvom, uvodnom dijelu rada panoramski predstavlja mjesto i uloga Svetog pisma u životu Crkve (status quaestionis) – od početaka do Divino Afflante Spiritu (1943.) te od Dei Verbum (1965.) do Sinode o Riječi Božjoj u životu i poslanju Crkve (2008.) – da bi se u drugom poglavlju tematizirao značaj Biblije u izgradnji odraslih vjernika našeg podneblja, s naglaskom na pozitivne pomake, ali i nedostatke i probleme. Budući da je na našem podneblju gotovo sasvim očit nesrazmjer između onoga što bi Sveto pismo trebalo biti u izgradnji odraslih vjernika i onoga što ono stvarno jest u trećem se poglavlju predlažu smjernice za smanjenje obima takva nesrazmjera, odnosno stavlja se naglasak na analizu biblijskog apostolata na našem podneblju te se nastoje dati smjernice za njegovo poboljšanje.
Preduvjeti pastorala i kateheze s odraslima za zrelost kršćanskih zajednica
Authors: Vranješ Nikola
Published: December 2024

Rast u zrelosti vjere kao jedan od temeljnih elemenata kršćanskog života u direktnom je suodnosu s pastoralnim djelovanjem kao takvim, a na poseban način s katehezom. Stoga bi pastoralno-katehetski dinamizmi, posebice oni župnoga karaktera, nužno trebali pridonositi trajnom napretku prema sve zrelijoj vjeri i to u svim dimenzijama življenja. Mnogi aktualni pokazatelji upozoravaju na istinsku krizu ne samo procesa sazrijevanja u vjeri nego uopće započinjanja tog procesa, ali i stvarne odluke za rast u vjeri. Područja pastorala i kateheze s odraslima u tome pogledu danas predstavljaju neka od najizazovnijih i najkompleksnijih za ostvarivanje. K tomu, zajednica se kao njihovi osnovni čimbenik također prepoznaje ne samo kao stvarnost na putu napretka nego često i kao izazovni čimbenik u pogledu reprezentacije ambijenta zrelog vjerskog života. U ovom se radu teološko-pastoralno razlučuju izdvojeni osnovni i specifični preduvjeti pastorala i kateheze s odraslim vjernicima u kontekstu zajednice. Ti se preduvjeti prvotno tiču važnih elemenata strukturalnog odnosa osobe vjernika i kršćanske zajednice u pogledu napretka u zrelosti vjere i osobe i zajednice. To razlučivanje tiče se aktualnih aspekata odnosne tematike čija uspješnija realizacija u današnjim društvenim i pastoralnim prilikama može pomoći napretku procesa sazrijevanja u vjeri.
Neki elementi preobrazbe kateheze odraslih
Authors: Jurić Ivica
Published: December 2024

U članku se promišlja o važnosti kateheze odraslih u sveukupnom poslanju Crkve te o načinima njezine preobrazbe osobito preko povećanja kvalitete kateheta. Rezultati teološko-pastoralne analize aktualnog stanja vjerske prakse ukazuju na njezinu neophodnost. Kateheza odraslih je pastoralni prioritet o kojem ovisi kateheza djece i adolescenata kao i izgradnja župne zajednice u cjelini. Ona je i sredstvo koje može umanjiti dihotomiju između većine distanciranih, tzv. kulturoloških vjernika i manjine, praktičnih vjernika. Autor u prvom dijelu pokušava detektirati razloge neučinkovitosti postojeće kateheze odraslih prepoznajući pritom kairološke elemente (znakove vremena) koji obilježavaju suvremenog čovjeka, a koji predstavljaju prepreku uključivanju odraslih u život zajednice i življenje vjere na svim razinama. U nastavku autor nudi konkretne prijedloge kako katehezu odraslih učiniti misionarskom, mjestom rasta i nadahnuća za svakodnevno življenje vjere. Pritom osobito ističe važnost nekih kompetencija koje kateheta treba posjedovati.

Abstract: Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as highly efficient drug delivery systems in gene therapy and regenerative medicine and have demonstrated great potential in recent years. Notably, LNPs encapsulating mRNA vaccines have achieved remarkable success in combating the COVID-19 epidemic. However, LNPs encapsulating mRNA encounter issues of physical and chemical instability and need to be stored and transported under harsh conditions. Lyophilization technology, which is commonly used to increase the stability of nanomedicines, has been increasingly applied to stabilize mRNA-LNPs. Appropriate cryoprotectants, such as saccharides, glycerin, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), need to be added to mRNA-LNPs during the freezing or lyophilization process to effectively preserve the physical and chemical properties of mRNA-LNPs, ensuring their stability. Saccharides (i.e., sucrose, trehalose, and maltose) are the most widely used cryoprotectants to protect the integrity of mRNA-LNPs. This is because saccharides are relatively safe molecules compared with other chemical molecules for cells and animals. However, different saccharides have varying levels of protective effects on mRNA-LNP formulations, and the optimal saccharide concentration varies depending on the specific mRNA-LNP. This article reviews the application and mechanisms of saccharide-based cryoprotectants in the freezing or lyophilization process of LNP-delivered gene therapies and regenerative medicines, offering guidance for selecting the most appropriate saccharide-based cryoprotectants for mRNA-LNP drugs during freezing or lyophilization processes.

FANON'S ROLE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF PAN-AFRICAN IDENTITY
Authors: Küçükaltan Ensar
Published: December 2024

The Pan-African ideology, which had matured with the ideas of Africans in the diaspora, gradually found a response throughout the continent. As a flower blooming amid concepts such as independence and neocolonialism, this ideology has also included many African and non-African thinkers. Frantz Fanon, a Martinican philosopher, is one of the people who provided an important background to this idea. Fanon, who saw himself as French and then sought to rediscover and redefine his own identity after seeing the French behavior in the French colonies and especially in Algeria, is a remarkable thinker for subsequent African thinkers and researchers. In this article, I will examine the Pan-Africanist perspective that he sprouted with his anti-colonial thoughts.

Authors: Liu Yao
Published: December 2024

In recent years, the construction and dissemination of national images have become key topics in international relations and cultural exchanges, playing a crucial role in enhancing citizens' sense of national identity and pride. Against the backdrop of the ever-changing international economic and political landscape, the dissemination of China's image faces practical challenges, such as audience resistance and an overly propagandistic tone. The report from the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to accelerate the construction of a Chinese discourse and narrative system, tell Chinas story well, disseminate China's voice effectively, and present a credible, lovable, and respectable image of China. With the continuous development of new media technologies, strengthening the relationship between communicators and audiences has become a key factor in spreading a vivid image of China. From the perspective of para-social interaction theory, this paper examines para-social interaction and the dissemination of China's image on social media, using Zhu Zitong, host of Phoenix TV's Talk with World Leaders, as a case study. It analyzes how Zhu connects with audiences through television programs and social media platforms, establishes emotional resonance, and deepens emotional identification, thus contributing to the dissemination of a vivid image of China. The paper further explores strategies to optimize the dissemination of this image.

Authors: Hao Qi
Published: December 2024

In the context of the era of integrated media, TV news commentary programs are undergoing profound changes. Since 2023, the Elephant News Center has emphasized "integration," breaking down the barriers between media such as radio, television, newspapers, websites, and mobile apps. All communication platforms and business entities have essentially achieved a shift from mere physical "addition" to a chemical "integration." In terms of building a commentary matrix, the Elephant News Center has successively launched commentary and interview brands such as Elephant News and Fengping, based on previous programs like Dialogue in Central Plains. "Let thoughts be sharp, and let consensus be strong." Fengping pioneered mobile video commentary for Henan Broadcasting, adhering to the high-end discussion of high-end topics. It has continuously produced viral commentary over its hundreds of episodes, reviving traditional commentary with new vitality on the internet. However, as a "newborn" product, Fengping still has room for improvement. This paper takes the video commentary program Fengping as a case study, using the "uses and gratifications" theory to examine the "breaking the circle" phenomenon of this video commentary program in the era of integrated media and to analyze its innovative paths, aiming to explore valuable experiences for the innovative development of commentary programs.

Authors: Zhou Qing
Published: December 2024

Some fans in China follow stars those they love while they sometimes abuse and insult them. In terms of the reasons for their attitude and behavior, attention should be paid to the contradiction between ideal and reality, the contradiction between attachment and autonomy. The materialization of stars and the uncertainty of identity and relationship also resulting in their contrary behavior. The measures taken by them when they try to rebuild their identity can be categorized into four kinds of performance strategies. These fans are a small typical part of fans in China, but their perception to the difference of social and gender status provides a glimpse at the social emotion.
Stereotypes: A Study on the Construction of Female Images in K-pop Girl Group Music
Authors: He Jialu
Published: December 2024

The influence of K-pop girl group music is increasing, and its audience is growing more diverse. The development of K-pop girl group music reflects the progress of feminism, but traces of stereotyped female images can still be observed. This paper explores the construction of these stereotypes from the perspective of gender construction in the development of K-pop girl group music. To date, few scholars have systematically studied K-pop girl groups and their music through text analysis to uncover the meanings behind the music that is now widely appreciated. This study attempts to address the gap in understanding of how female images are constructed and how female stereotypes have evolved in K-pop music. The study employs thematic analysis to examine three main aspects: the construction of female images, research methods, and research findings. From a feminist perspective, men are often in a dominant position in the media, while women are intentionally marginalized or stereotyped. The research findings indicate that prior to the fourth generation of K-pop girl groups, music works were predominantly focused on the theme of love, with groups largely favoring a sexy and glamorous style. Dance movements were primarily characterized by softness and femininity. After the fourth generation, music themes began to shift towards self-empowerment and dreams, while group styles diversified to include sweet, cool, and fierce aesthetics. Dance movements have also become more powerful and incorporated many hip-hop elements. Additionally, the variety of music genres has expanded, showcasing diverse forms of female beauty. The study reveals that in the process of developing K-pop girl group music, there are tendencies that deviate from or even alienate mainstream gender consciousness. However, the evolving stereotype of female images in K-pop music suggests greater possibilities for future development.

The Influencing Factors of Postpartum Depression and Effective Interventions
Authors: Huang Chengcheng
Published: December 2024

Postpartum Depression (PPD), a common and severe mental disorder, poses a great threat to the health and life of new mothers and their families. Given its long-lasting impact on global public health, PPD has emerged as an urgent issue to be addressed. This study discusses the potential influencing factors of PPD and proposes a comprehensive framework, arguing that PPD is caused due to the complexity of physical, psychological, and social factors. These factors include but are not limited to changes in hormone levels, psychological adaptation of individuals, and inadequate social support. Furthermore, this study reviews existing literature regarding interventions for PPD, proposing a set of intervention strategies derived from evidence-based medicine. These strategies cover pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, social support, and other aspects. Although the proposed intervention measures contribute to PPD management to a certain extent, the influencing factors of PPD and the extent of their influence may vary significantly for different groups of people and different cultural backgrounds. Hence, the future study should further discuss the specific action mechanism of these factors in different cultural and social backgrounds, developing intervention measures targeting different groups with an assessment of cultural sensitivity and adaptation. This will enable more targeted and personalized strategies for the prevention and therapy of PPD.
Research on Copyright Infringement Issues in Short Video Platforms in the Context of Algorithmic Recommendation
Authors: Xiao Caixing
Published: December 2024

Short video platforms face increasingly severe copyright infringement issues in the context of algorithmic recommendations. With the widespread application of algorithmic recommendation technology, platforms have gradually evolved from passive neutral intermediaries to active content managers, thereby intensifying the complexity of liability for infringements. Algorithmic recommendations are based on user behavior data and prioritize content with high engagement, often including unauthorized works, which leads to the spread of infringing content. This pseudo-neutrality strengthens the platforms dominant role in content dissemination, making the traditional safe harbor principle difficult to apply. By analyzing relevant legal practices, this paper proposes improvements to the platform responsibility identification mechanism and suggestions for enhancing content review and compliance systems, in order to ensure that platforms, while enhancing user experience, effectively fulfill their copyright protection obligations.

Authors: Peng Cheng
Published: December 2024

This study explores the influence of emotional states on decision-making under risk, particularly examining how can emotions like happiness and sadness affect human risk-seeking behaviors. The experiment involved 53 Chinese participants divided into two groups, each subjected to an emotion manipulation through a short film clip to induce happiness or sadness. After verifying emotional states, participants engaged in a gamble game designed to measure risk-seeking versus risk-averse choices across various scenarios involving gains and losses. The results revealed that participants in the sad condition exhibited a higher propensity for risk-seeking behavior (60%) compared to those in the happy condition (44.44%). Moreover, a significant difference was observed between gain and loss sections within the sad group, with risk-seeking behavior being more pronounced in the loss section. The t-test results (t = 2.66, p = 0.0104) indicated a statistically significant difference in risk-seeking behavior between the two emotional states. These findings suggest that emotion significantly impacts decision-making processes under risky situations, with sadness promoting greater risk-seeking tendencies. The study contributes to understanding the emotional drivers behind decision-making and highlights the importance of accounting for emotional states in models of risk-based decision-making.
AIGC Detection Model Based on Capsule Networks

Published: December 2024

With the advancement of technology, artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) has facilitated people's lives while also giving rise to numerous issues. Traditional AIGC detection methods have suffered from low accuracy and other problems, rendering them ineffective in detecting AI-generated images. Meanwhile, models trained on large datasets are constrained by the dataset size. Recent research has demonstrated that although training-free models are efficacious, their generalization ability poses a problem. In this paper, we propose a model based on capsule neural networks. The capsule network model acquires the spatial features of fake images and outputs image classification results via softmax classifier. We trained and evaluated the proposed AIGC image detection model using the publicly available MINIST dataset. The experimental results indicate that the capsule network-based model surpasses many traditional AIGC image detection models.

Viljelijät ovat uusien haasteiden edessä, kun EU-lainsäädäntö asettaa uusia vaatimuksia kasvinsuojeluun. Useiden tehoaineiden käyttö ja käyttömäärät ovat olleet keskustelun kohteena. Tehoaineiden vähentyminen ja niiden käytön rajoitukset näkyvät jo nykyisellään muun muassa sokerijuurikkaan viljelyssä. Näin ollen Sokerijuurikkaan Tutkimuskeskuksella (SjT) on testattu vuodesta 2021 lähtien mekaanisia ja vaihtoehtoisia kasvinsuojelumenetelmiä, joilla voidaan korvata ja vähentää rikkakasviaineiden käyttöä.

Published: December 2024

This research explores the link between renewable energy consumption, economic growth, electricity accessibility, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental degradation in Ghana from 1993 to 2020. Utilizing the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and quantile regression, it analyzes the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. ARDL findings imply that renewable energy consumption (REC), greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and power accessibility (ATE) have positive but statistically negligible long-term associations with CO2 emissions. In contrast, economic growth (ECG) shows a slight negative link. This suggests that current attempts to promote renewable energy and minimize emissions may only partially lower CO2 levels. Quantile regression demonstrates a positive correlation between REC and CO2 emissions, counter to the idea that more renewable energy consumption decreases emissions. GHG strongly affects environmental pollution (EVP) at all levels, whereas power accessibility (ATE) has a favorable effect at lower levels but becomes negative at higher ones. Economic growth’s impact on pollution is detrimental at lower and median values but needs more relevance at more significant levels. These results imply the need for stricter laws, technical breakthroughs, emission limitations, and carbon pricing to mitigate pollution coming from economic expansion.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Background: The objective of this study is to illustrate the impact of disc prosthesis instrumentation in the intervertebral disc space following discectomy on cervical lordosis (CL) as observed in radiographic images, with measurements of Cobb angle and cervical disc height taken before and after surgery. Furthermore, the study seeks to elucidate the functionality of the disc prosthesis employed.
Objective: The objective was to illustrate the functionality of the surgical procedure and the disc prosthesis employed, with a comparison of pre- and postoperative measurements.
Methods: A total of 106 patients with cervical disc herniation who underwent surgical intervention using cervical disc prosthesis were included in the study. Pre- and post-surgical lateral direct radiographic evaluations were conducted on each patient. The following variables were recorded for each patient: preoperative Cobb angles, cervical disc height, surgical level, age, and gender.
Results: The operating level was most frequently at the C5-6 level. There was a significant increase in the cervical Cobb angle after surgery, as well as a significant increase in postoperative disc height in comparison to preoperative values. The change in Cobb angle and disc height was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: A variety of cervical interbody grafts are currently in use. The use of cervical disc prostheses in cervical disc herniation surgery allows for the achievement of optimum lordotic angulation. There is a continued need for new studies to support the findings of physical examinations and for long-term clinical follow-ups in the field of neurosurgery, particularly in relation to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion techniques.
