Study the optimization of Dijkstra’s Algorithm
Authors: Parmanand Parmanand , Sahdev Sahdev , Dwivedi Anuradha
Published: December 2024

This paper presents an optimized approach to the shortest path problem, a fundamental concern in graph theory, by improving node selection and data storage. The traditional Dijkstra's algorithm is enhanced by introducing a novel node selection strategy that prioritizes nodes with the most significant impact on the shortest path, minimizing redundant calculations and accelerating convergence. Additionally, a compact data storage structure is introduced, reducing memory requirements while maintaining accuracy. This optimized approach offers reduced storage needs, enhanced efficiency, and improved scalability, making it an ideal solution for real-world applications in network optimization, traffic routing, and logistics, enabling faster and more scalable solutions for large-scale graphs and complex networks.
The depths of the world and chthonic magic: clay, hearth and blood
Authors: Militaru Petrisor
Published: December 2024

The four primordial elements and the constellations of images they set in motion lead to the transfiguration of reality and trace part of the fundamental coordinates of the Blagian poetic imaginary. In Bachelard’s vision, a poetic universe is a syntax of stylistic figures and poetic images that give rise to a diagram. The diagram includes all the occurrences and indicates the meaning, as well as the symmetry or asymmetry of the poetic images. Chthonic magic derives from the following relationship, which is based on what we could call the poetics of latency in the Blagian lyric: the celestial is reflected in the chthonic, which is spiritualized hence the magical charge. The poet, through the spiritual force of the word, restores the magical connection with Geea, having access to the chthonic mystery reflected in the individual self understood as a microcosm.
Three aspects of the witch archetype in Ion Creangă’s epic imaginary
Authors: Dinu Maria
Published: December 2024

Essential in Ion Creangă’s narrative imaginary, either as a character beneficial to the evolution of the protagonist, or as an obstacle, the witch initially detaches herself from the world of the Humulesti village in the maternal pose, so that later, in her fairy tale, Creangă’s grace merges the myth of Circe, of Artemis and Hecate. Under the guise of Saint Sunday, the witch embodies wisdom, kindness and generosity, like her younger avatar, the daughter of the Red Emperor, “the devilish little girl”, in whom we find the insight of her mother, Smaranda, but also the freshness and guidance of Smărandita, father Ioan’s daughter.
Ion Druță and Miguel Delibes: the problem of existence
Authors: Lipcan Valentina
Published: December 2024

The comparative analysis of two writers whose work is apparently marked by the same thematic elements shows that the motives used to study the human condition in literature can be actualized even by presenting a few literary epitomes. In the case of Ion Druță, the motif of “rootedness” gives rise to a literature that explores the village, childhood and sorrows of life, while in the case of Miguel Delibes, the same motif "el arraigo" opens up the world of the simple Spanish man in the countryside, with his inner anxieties and inner searching. By establishing new literary and historical links between Moldova and Spain, in the conflagrations and upheavals of the 20th century, it is possible to identify ways of restoring harmony between the man and his own self and, above all, between man and nature.
Poetic utterance: performativity and intersubjectivity in Adrian Urmanov’s utilitarian poems
Authors: Cosmescu Alexandru
Published: December 2024

The present paper explores the enunciative and performative dimension of poetic discourse, emphasizing that the poem is not a mere object but an utterance anchored in an intersubjective practice. In Wittgensteinian terms, as adopted by H. Meschonnic, this involves a form of life intertwined with a form of language. Using Adrian Urmanov’s utilitarian poems as an example, we offer an analysis of the way in which the poetic utterance operates dialogically, constituting both the speaker and the addressee as subjects within a performative interaction that redefines them. The subject of the poetic utterance offers the addressee the possibility of inhabiting the same discursive position, potentially becoming a new source of the same poetic utterance to the extent that they recognize themselves in it. The stake of the poetic act is an ethical one: the transformation of the form of life of its co-subjects.
Human language from the perspective of tool evolution (an introduction to (sub-)substrate language research)
Authors: Plesca Ecaterina
Published: December 2024

In this article we have proposed to extract data, however brief, about the human language in prehistory, namely in the Paleolithic Age, the era of the formation of the human biological being, but also the era of the constitution of human language. In the absence of written records for this historical period, the data regarding the language can only be abductive, obtained on the basis of interdisciplinary research of the data held by the related sciences. The reference to tools allowed us to trace how human language evolved and how it helped humans to evolve. Language, however, determined the rise of human beings. This fact can be observed in the production and use of tools, since the production of tools with the help of other tools testifies to the capacity of the brain to think up inventions through language. And based on the composition of the tool kit, the techniques and technologies applied in their creation, we can hypothetically assess the presence of term-words through which they must have been designated. Even more, we can assess the emergence of terminologies. This study presents a written synthesis based on works from related fields.
Tirzepatide Safety and Efficacy in Managing Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Soqati Abrar Abdullateef
Published: December 2024

Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that has shown potential in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide by consolidating evidence from relevant studies. A systematic search of electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect was done to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide in adult participants with T2DM and/or obesity. The inclusion criteria required studies to report results on glycemic control (HbA1c levels), weight loss, and adverse events. Two researchers extracted data separately. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was used to assess methodological quality and potential bias. Statistical analyses were conducted using R software 4.2.2. Heterogeneity among studies was assessed using the Cochrane Q p-value and I² statistic, with publication bias evaluated through funnel plots and Egger's regression test. The present study included 6 articles from 2018 to 2023. The quality assessment revealed some methodological concerns, but most studies demonstrated a low risk of bias in key areas. Tirzepatide led to a significant reduction in HbA1c levels (MD: -2.5078; 95% CI: [-3.3945, -1.6210]), fasting blood glucose (FBG) (MD: -62.78; 95% CI: [-67.9269, -57.6337]), waist circumference (MD: -8.60; 95% CI: [-15.5491, -1.6410]), and body weight (MD: -10.7852; 95% CI: [-14.8264, -6.7439]) compared to placebo. A non-significant trend towards fewer serious adverse events (RR: 0.7423; 95% CI: [0.4771, 1.1547]) and reduced mortality risk (RR: 0.2727; 95% CI: [0.0286, 2.2766]) was observed. Tirzepatide appears promising in managing type 2 diabetes and obesity, significantly enhancing glycemic control, reducing body weight, and decreasing waist circumference, all while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Further research is warranted to address methodological concerns and confirm long-term benefits and risks.
The Semantics and Ethics of Sa‘ādah (Happiness) in the Qur’ān
Authors: El-Zeiny Iman
Published: December 2024

A great deal of Arabic and English literature has been written on the Arabic term sa‘ādah (happiness) from a philosophical perspective. However, this paper explores the semantic-statistical role of the term sa‘ādah in the Qur’ān as a constituent of the Islamic ethical discourse that shapes the mentalities of Muslims, in order to establish successful communication with other communities through grasping the Muslim worldview. Ethical systems are rooted in particular worldviews. The ethical foundation of Islamic thought is based on the Qur’ānic ethical discourse, which is built upon fundamental concepts such as sa‘ādah. The model of semantic analysis developed by Toshihiko Izutsu (d. 1993) has been adopted to analyze the concept sa‘ādah in this paper. This model of semantic analysis aims at discovering the worldview conceptualized by the people who use that language through identifying its “basic meaning” (i.e., etymological meaning) and “relational meaning” (i.e., co-textual and contextual meanings). The statistical analysis given in this paper is based on Kais Dukes’ analysis.

The water well and the well sinker: etymological and ethnocultural interferences
Authors: Arapu Valentin
Published: December 2024

In traditional perceptions, the water well was seen primarily as a source of drinking water, a source of life-giving water for humans and animals in the household. The word fântână is of Latin origin, with its root word fons (pl. fontis), meaning spring, origin, beginning. The technical construction of the well consisted of a series of components and stages to be carried out by the well sinker, assisted by the villagers involved in the activity. The well sinker is the person who digs, builds, repairs and cleans the well.
In medieval Moldova there were no guilds of well workers, but the profession was practiced by peasants in the villages and by foreign craftsmen invited to the royal court. According to popular tradition, the fountain sinker had to observe a series of strict rules of personal hygiene, renounce intimate relations for the duration of the construction, be pious, not quarrel with anyone, not commit the sin of death, and have a good reputation in the community and in neighboring villages. Women were not allowed at the well construction site, otherwise people believed that the spring would dry up or even the well would collapse. During the digging and building of the well, the women prepared dishes, set the table and then offered pomeni – buckets, towels, colaci, i.e. special gifts to the men who participated in this community activity.

Mangifera indica (M.indica) is considered to be medicinal plant that belongs to ayurvedic family of plants used against numerous diseases and disorders. The objective of this research is to assess the anti-psoriatic effectiveness M.indica flower extract in various solvents. The current study was designed to formulate an anti-psoriatic spray at Fatima Tul Zahra Department of Life Sciences, Muhammad Institute of Medical & Allied Science, Multan. The M.indica flowers were collected from Multan Mango Farm and M.indica flowers extracts were prepared separately by macerated grinding of fresh flowers using different solvents (n-hexane, ethanol and olive oil) by mortar and pestle that were stored in air tight glass bottles separately for 7days before filtration through double layered muslin cloth. The filtrate (pellets) were obtained from filtered pharmaceutical product through rotary evaporator at 37°C at low pressure to prepare 5%, 10% and 20% (W/V) solutions with same solvents separately that were applied topically using sprayer bottles on psoriasis affected skin area of rabbits to evaluate the therapeutic effects keeping the patients free of any other allopathic medicines for two week. Out of 33 rabbits with mean age 34.62±5.11 years, 27 rabbits were trialed in experimental group (n=27), other than positive control (n=3) and negative control (n=3), while corticosteroid ointment and distilled water were used as standard drug for positive control and negative control groups respectively. Surprisingly in our study, 100% rabbits were recovered from psoriasis treated with olive oil flowers extract that was 33.33% of experimental group. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS version-22, based on obtained data during research trial.
Lack of proper treatment and adverse effects of allopathic medicines including anticancer drugs urged the way to find the natural products with anti-psoriatic activity. The present findings suggest that the M.indica flowers extract possesses significant potential in mitigating psoriasis-related symptoms. The diverse solvents used for extraction demonstrated variations in efficacy, emphasizing the importance of solvent selection in extracting bioactive compounds.

Investigating the Role of Pragmatics in Cross-Cultural Communication: A Comparative Analysis of Speech Acts in Different Cultures
Authors: Hussan Rasha
Published: December 2024

This research delves into the complexities of cross-cultural communication, emphasizing the crucial role of pragmatics, particularly speech acts, in facilitating effective intercultural interactions. In an increasingly globalized world, understanding the nuances of communication across different cultures is essential. The study conducts a comparative analysis of speech acts—such as requests, apologies, compliments, and directives—across American and British cultural contexts, examining how cultural norms, values, and linguistic conventions shape their expression and interpretation. By employing qualitative and quantitative methods, including discourse analysis and surveys, the research aims to uncover the significant impact of pragmatics on cross-cultural communication. It highlights potential misunderstandings and misinterpretations while proposing strategies to enhance intercultural communication competence. The study draws on speeches by Martin Luther King Jr. and Winston Churchill to illustrate different communication styles shaped by cultural contexts, with King's emotionally charged rhetoric reflecting American values and Churchill's firm tone embodying British pragmatism. These findings underscore the importance of understanding cultural differences in communication patterns to improve cross-cultural interactions. The research offers valuable insights and recommendations for individuals, organizations, and policymakers seeking to navigate the complexities of global communication effectively, ultimately contributing to greater harmony and understanding in an interconnected world.
LEGAL MECHANISMS FOR PROTECTION AGAINST MOBBING: DOMESTIC LEGAL REALITIES AND EXPERIENCE OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Authors: PIACHYNSKAYA E.
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the problem of mobbing in the Republic of Belarus and some foreign countries. The concept of “mobbing” is analyzed, its main features and types are highlighted. The author notes that the problem itself in our country is not designated as dangerous and has a low quantitative indicator, there is no current statistical information on mobbing, there is very little data on this phenomenon and it is inconsistent. The main problem in the field of countering mobbing is its hushing up for fear of losing a job and the lack of a legitimate response algorithm in such situations. There are no legal mechanisms to protect workers from mobbing in our country, and in most cases, actions of this kind remain unpunished. Certain articles of the Labor, Civil, Administrative and Criminal Codes regulate relations only in the case of certain (by no means all) actions; in this regard, the experience of some foreign countries deserves attention. In conclusion the author offers some measures to prevent and fight mobbing.

Impact of Zootechnical Additive of the Nitrooxypropanol to Minimize Methane Emission in Cattle: A Review
Authors: Mshary Ghasaq Sami , Castillo Cristina , Hernandez Joaquin , Muiño Rodrigo
Published: December 2024

A significant impediment to reducing worldwide enteric CH4 emissions is the problem of adapting mitigation measures to grazing ruminants; this area requires additional investigation. This study aimed to investigate the impact and explore the relationship between raising and lowering levels of 3-NOP in bovine diets in order to impede methanogenesis. The sole CH4 contributor is the end-user process of ruminant fermentation and faeces, especially those of beef and dairy cattle. The amount of carbon dioxide emission from the human body during its lifetime constitutes a small part of the carbon balance in the atmosphere. Their dose-level potential must be assessed whenever feed additives become available in ruminant diets. Feed additives are managed in trace amounts to impact on rumen metabolism. Designed and produced around 2012, 3-Nitrooxypropanol is a synthetic, non-toxic chemical molecule that inhibits the CH4 pathway. Its molecular structure is like that of the methyl coenzyme M. The zootechnical supplement 3-NOP lowers the amount of enteric methane CH4 that cattle release during milk production and reproduction while raising the milk fat concentration. In conclusion, the 3-NOP is established to be a practical CH4 mitigator at elevated and intermediate dosages, recommending that it may have application as an enteric CH4 mitigator.

Youth are the backbone of a nation as well as a church, therefore as youth they should do many things in life, and be the controllers of the rapid technological advances that are currently developing. However, in reality, with the advancement of existing technology, many young people fall into promiscuity (extramarital sex) which causes pregnancy. Because young people in the era of introducing technology, are still unable to control themselves well, they actually fall into habits that are detrimental to themselves, others, and society. The purpose of this community service activity is to provide education and encouragement for young people in Siloam Humone so that they can know and understand the benefits and impacts of using technology, and be wise in using technology, so that they do not fall into promiscuity. The method of implementing PKM "guidance for young people of the Siloam Humone congregation regarding youth, sex and premarital pregnancy" is divided into the following stages: 1). The implementation of community service is preceded by initial observation with the pastor and the Humone community online, 2). Implementation of community service activities for young people in Siloam Humone. The importance of implementing this activity is to provide education so that we can act wisely in the technological era so that we do not fall into free association, but must hold on to the Christian faith, so that we are not easily influenced by technological advances and bad associations.

Objective: In this study, the non-operating room anesthesia application of 70 patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was evaluated retrospectively.
Materials and Methods: 70 patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) under sedation at our hospital between 02.02.2017 and 03.12.2019 were examined. The patients were grouped as female, male, and under 65 years of age and over, and were evaluated in terms of duration of the procedure and the amount of medication used. Comlications were evaluated additionally.
Results: It was determined that midazolam, propofol and fentanyl were preferred in all patients for sedation. There was no statistical difference in terms of processing times. There is no statistically significant difference for propofol and fentanyl in the amount of drugs used according to the age and gender of the patients. There was no difference in the amount of midazolam given between the genders, it was observed that there was a statistically significant difference when the amounts given to the age groups were examined. During the procedure, bradycardia developed in two patients, hypotension in three patients, and hypertension in two patients.
Conclusion: Midazolam, propofol, fentanyl can be used safely at titrated doses in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) applications. Titrated doses of propofol and fentanyl from these drugs have been used safely in similar amounts in the older age group.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used as analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents, and antipyretics. The goal of this study was to perform a histological assessment of therapeutic and overdose dosages of diclofenac on the heart and lung tissues and serum Troponin I, Lactate Dehydrogenase, and Creatine Kinase. Thirty local breed rabbits weighing 1000 and 1400 grams were used, divided into four groups: therapeutic group I, overdose group II, overdose group III, and control group. Each group was injected intraperitoneum with different doses of diclofenac (2, 20, 50 mg/kg) once daily for 20 days, while the control group was injected with normal saline. The results of heart sections in the experimental groups showed numerous histological alterations. In group I, muscle fibers were degenerated, lipid droplets within hemolyzed, and fibrinoid deposition in congested blood vessels. Group II showed a woven appearance of muscle fibers, atrophied muscle fibers, and an increased presence of fibroblasts between blood vessels and adjacent muscle fibers. In group III, colloid appearances, pavement of inflammatory cells on the tunica intima of a congested blood vessel, muscle fiber necrosis, and hemosiderin deposits were observed between muscle fibers. The lung results referred to that group I had thickened the interstitial connective tissue, hyperplasia in connective cells, and cytoplasmic vacuolation of type I alveolus cells. In group II, the results revealed folded alveolar walls, droplets in hemolyzed congested blood vessel, and aggregation of desquamated cells within the lumen of alveoli. Group III showed engorged pulmonary vessel, folded alveolar walls surrounded with inflammatory cells infiltration. The results of serum Troponin I, creatine kinase and Lactate dehydrogenase showed a significant increase in between the experimental group when compared with control group, otherwise, the results of Troponin I in group III showed a significant decrease when compared with the control group on level 0.05%. Finally, the results of serum cholesterol a significant increase in between experimental when compared with control group on level 0.05%.

Published: December 2024

Background: Mathematical models are not integrated into the policy‑making process in low‑ and middle‑income countries, including India, primarily due to limited capacity in building mathematical models, lack of trust in the model findings and the reluctance of policy‑makers to apply the model findings to formulate policies. There is a perceived need to create a critical mass of trained infectious disease experts and modelers within the public health and clinical domain. Thus, with the support of the Department of Health Research (DHR), we developed a 3‑month post‑graduate (PG) certificate course on infectious disease modelling, the first of such a course in India. The first cycle of the course was delivered during July to September 2024, which produced the first cohort of 20 infectious disease modellers in the country.
Methods: This paper describes the structure, content and key components of the first course along with the experiences, strengths, challenges and way forward from the participants’ perspective using a mixed methods approach.
Findings: Most of the participants felt that the learning objectives were clear (n = 18, 90%), course content was well organised and delivered (n = 19, 95%) and the course structure allowed all participants to fully participate (n = 19, 95%) in the learning process. The strengths of the course were: hybrid mode of delivery, well‑designed course content, theory lectures followed by practical sessions, regular trainer–trainee communication, interactive discussion forums and the 3‑day contact workshop. The key challenges were non‑availability of recorded videos, evening timings of the sessions and difficulty of some topics.
Conclusions: The challenges and recommendations will feed into the subsequent course cycles. Future courses are planned to be hosted on an online platform to facilitate participant completion of the course at their own pace. More collaboration with various stakeholders, nationally and internationally, will be sought to improve the content, delivery and robustness of the program.
KIRAAT FARKLILIKLARININ MEALLERE YANSITILAMAMASI PROBLEMATİĞİ

Published: December 2024

Âyetlerde varit olan bazı kelimelerin telaffuzundaki farklılıkları ifade eden kıraat ihtilafları, genel itibariyle “usûl” ve “ferşü’l-huruf” şeklinde iki temel başlıkta ele alınmaktadır. Usûl farklılıkları, istiâze, idğâm, med mertebeleri vb. kaidelerin bir düzen çerçevesinde icra edilmesiyle ilgili olup manayı ciddi oranda etkilemezken ferş-î farklılıklar da dağınık olarak, belli bir sistem takip edilmeksizin düzensiz olarak gelen ve yerine göre manayı değiştirip etkili olan ihtilaflar için kullanılmaktadır. Âyet anlamlarının bilinmesi amacıyla yazılan meal ise Arapça dışında herhangi bir dille -tam karşılığı olmasa da- yaklaşık olarak âyetlerin çevrilmesini ifade etmektedir. Özellikle Arapça bilmeyen kimselerin Kur’an’ı anlayabilmesi, ilâhî emirlerin geniş kitlelere ulaştırılabilmesi ve âyetlerin zenginliğinin yansıtılabilmesi için son zamanlarda önemli oranda mealler telif edilmiştir. Ancak telif edilen meallerin ekseriyetinin kıraat farklılıklarını göz önünde bulundurmadan kaleme alınmış olması, kafa karışıklığına ve bazı problemlerin ortaya çıkmasına zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu araştırmanın konusu, kıraat farklılıklarının meallere yansıtılması problematiğini sahih ve şâz kıraatler çerçevesinde ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmada öncelikle sahih kıraatlerle istidlalde bulunulan bazı âyet örnekleri verilerek mealler incelenmiştir. Akabinde aynı yöntemle anlamı daha iyi ifade etmesi sebebiyle şâz kıraatlerle istidlalde bulunulan mealler de bazı örnekler çerçevesinde tespit ve tayini yapılmaya çalışılmıştır. Tahlil edilen örnekler ile ele alınan bilgi ve bulgular sonucunda kıraatlerin yeterli seviyede meallere yansıtılmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
