Conceptual Analysis of “World English” and its Implementation in English Language Teaching
Authors: Archana Sharma  , Manisha Dwivedi
Published: February 2025

The concept of “World English” encompasses the diverse forms of English spoken and used globally, transcending ownership by any single group or nation. While the notion of “World English” has gained widespread acceptance, its broader implications are often overlooked. For language teachers, these implications could soon have significant effects on instructional practices and pedagogical priorities. As World English gains prominence, traditional native English varieties may gradually lose their centrality in English Language Teaching (ELT). This paper explores the potential shifts within ELT, including the redefinition of linguistic norms, the adaptation of teaching materials, and the reorientation of teacher training to reflect the evolving global landscape of English. Ultimately, the rise of World English challenges long-standing perceptions of language ownership and sets the stage for transformative changes in how English is taught and learned worldwide.
Nonsurgical Management of a Caudal Mediastinal Granuloma
Authors: Dorlis Christos , Goody Nicholas , Blacklock Kelly
Published: February 2025

A 3 yr old female springer spaniel presented with a 3-day history of pyrexia, lethargy, and a mild cough. A year prior, the dog had undergone surgical removal of a grass seed from her sublumbar muscles. Computed tomography of the thorax revealed the presence of a caudal mediastinal mass closely associated with the esophagus and diaphragm. A median sternotomy was performed, but the mass proved nonresectable. Biopsy results confirmed a chronic granuloma, and the culture isolated Escherichia coli spp. The patient was treated with long-term antibiotics and the response was followed with computed tomography, with the mass completely resolved in 6 mo. Caudal mediastinal masses are a rare entity in veterinary medicine. Most of the masses are abscesses or granulomas caused by migrating foreign bodies. Surgical excision or debridement is considered the preferred treatment. This case report describes the successful long-term management of a nonresectable mediastinal granuloma through medical intervention. Medical management can have successful outcomes when surgical excision is not feasible.
Location Coding of Tool-Object Pairs Based on Perceptual Grouping: Evidence from Object-Based Correspondence Effect
Authors: Shaikh Usman Jawed , Binkofski Ferdinand , Pellicano Antonello
Published: February 2025

Motor interactions with single, as well as pairs of objects can be automatically affected by visual asymmetries provided by protruding parts, whether the handle or not. Faster and more accurate performance is typically produced when task-defined responses correspond to the location of such protruding parts, relative to when they do not correspond (i.e., object-based spatial correspondence effects). In two experiments we investigated the mechanisms that underlie the spatial coding of tool-object pairs when semantic and action alignment relationships were orthogonally combined. Centrally presented pictures of “active” tools (depicted as potentially performing their proper action) were paired, on one side, to a “passive” object (target of the tool action). We observed S-R correspondence effects that depended on the location of the protruding side of tool-object pairs, and not on the non-protruding side of the tool handle. Thus, results further supported the location coding account of the effect, against the affordance activation one. The effect was only produced when tool-object pairs belonged to the same semantic category or were correctly aligned for action, but with no further interplay. This was not consistent with the idea that action links were coded between tool-object pairs, and that the resulting action direction interacted with response spatial codes. Alternatively, we claimed that semantic relation and action alignment acted, independent from each other, as perceptual grouping criteria; allowing for the basic spatial coding of visual asymmetries to take place. This brought to speculation, at neurocognitive level, about independent processing along the ventral and ventro-dorsal streams.

GREEN SYTHESIS OF CUO USING Citrus x microcarpa BUNGE PEEL EXTRACT AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY EVALUATION
Authors: Afriani Fitri , Lingga Rahmad , Rafsanjani Rifqi Almusawi , Tiandho Yuant
Published: February 2025

This article aims to synthesize CuO nanoparticles using the green synthesis method using Citrus x microcarpa Bunge peel extract, analyze their characteristics, and evaluate their antibacterial activity against the S. aureus. We investigated the role of the accelerator agent NaOH in the green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles. The presence of green synthesized CuO nanoparticles was confirmed by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and XRD. The use of NaOH in the green synthesis of nanoparticles accelerates the emergence of absorbance peaks around 400 nm, related to CuO's surface plasmon frequency. Calculation of crystallite size based on XRD diffractogram shows that NaOH can also act as a reducing agent. The smaller size of CuO nanoparticles will increase their stability when heated. In addition, green synthesized CuO nanoparticles showed high antimicrobial activity against S. aureus pathogens. These results indicate that CuO nanoparticles with antibacterial activity can be synthesized using an environmentally friendly and simple method.

Published: February 2025

The effect of Bacillus pumilus (B. pumilus) on the improvement potential of some selected geotechnical properties of lateritic soil was studied. Air-dried soils were cured in paced Bacillus pumilus suspensions between 0 and 2.4 × 109 cells/ml. Cured test samples adopted mix ratios of 50% B. pumilus / 50 % cementation reagent(50 % B – 50 % C)  for sample A and 25% B. pumilus / 75 % cementation reagent(25% B – 75% C), for sample B, all conforming to the liquid limit of the soil. The geotechnical properties of the lateritic soil showed different levels of improvement with increasing B. pumilus suspension densities. The specific gravity generally diminished with rise in B. pumilus suspension from 2.55 for the natural soil to 2.33 and 2.26 at 2.4 × 109 cells/ml for samples A and B, respectively. The cation exchange capacity (CEC) decreased from 26.6Cmol/kg for the natural soil to 8.7Cmol/kg at B. pumilus suspension of 1.8 × 109 cells/ml. The Atterberg Limits of lateritic soil specifically, plasticity index (PI) decreased from 19.0% and 29.1% for the natural and control lateritic soil to values of 6.2 and 8.9 % for samples A (50 % B – 50 % C) and B (25% B – 75% C), respectively, at optimal  B. pumilus suspension density of 2.4 × 109 cells/ml, Sample B (25 % B – 75% C) recorded a better improvement in terms of the plasticity of the treated soils
A comparative study of filtration rate of water-based mud between silica and zinc oxide nanoparticles of different sizes for the deep well application
Authors: Alkalbani Almotasim , Chala Girma , Alkalbani Alhaitham
Published: February 2025

In the oil and gas industry, drilling mud plays a vital role in the drilling process. However, during the drilling process, various factors such as the filtration process, the formation of a mud paste, and the pressure variation on the well walls can significantly impact the designs and complications in the well, in addition to changing the characteristics of the reservoir. One of the challenges in the drilling process is the leaching process, which can cause various problems including the rearrangement of pressure in the vicinity of the wellbore, swelling, and a variation in the strength characteristics of the rocks. These problems can lead to the insecurity of the wellbore, cavity formation, and precipitation. Therefore, it is crucial to displace the front reservoir fluid from the well and redistribute the pressure near the well to reduce the outflow risks of the well. To address these challenges, this study aims to analyze the filtration rate of water-based mud with silicon dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles. The water-based mud used in this study was made by combining various chemicals such as Caustic Soda (NaOH), Sodium Chloride (NaCl), Xanthan Gum, Starch, HT Starch, Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), and Barite for usage in a deep well. In addition, different concentrations of HT starch with both silica and zinc oxide nanoparticles were also investigated. The drilling mud's filtration properties were determined using HPHT and API filter presses, which were used under very high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) and low pressure and low temperature (LPLT) conditions, respectively. The study found that nanoparticles provide better filtration rate performance as opposed to conventional mud. Notably, the use of zinc oxide and silicon dioxide nanoparticles reduced the HPHT filtration rate of conventional water-based mud by 26.2% and 52.3%, respectively.

Authors: Alatrash Nsreen , Saffour Ziad , Tuhmaz Ghazal
Published: February 2025

Cotton fabrics were used in this study to create electrically conductive pathways through printing with conductive materials. Graphite and a mixture of graphite oxide with manganese oxide were utilized as conductive inks in screen printing. To create the conductive ink, conductive materials were mixed with other substances such as thickener, moisturizer, and water. The viscosity of the ink was 10 mPa.s. After printing on the cotton fabric samples, the effect of conductive concentration on electrical conductivity was examined. It was found that a 5% concentration of graphite achieved the highest conductivity (1.75 × 10-5 S.cm-1). To further improve conductivity, multiple layers of conductive ink were printed on the fabric. Three layers were applied, with the first and third containing graphite and the second containing graphite oxide and manganese oxide (battery core). The conductivity values reached 6.5 × 10-3 S.cm-1. This conductive fabric was used in the creation of electronic smart clothing to measure the human body temperature index. The conductive ink printed on the fabric served as a link between electronic components, transmitting electrical signals. In addition, a smart product using conductive yarns was created as a comparison to the conductive ink. Results showed that the sensor signal was transmitted well and readings were consistent.

Published: February 2025

Extensive research has been carried out in order to design a refrigeration system that is efficient and consumes less power. Several researchers have explored various techniques to decrease the power usage of compressors and increase the coefficient of performance (COP) of refrigeration systems by utilizing nanoparticles. The remarkable properties of nanoparticles, including their exceptional thermo-physical and tribological characteristics, have made their usage in a variety of thermal applications. This study investigated the performance of a hydrocarbon blend refrigerant also known as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), mixed with Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) nanolubricant made from mineral oil (MO) at different concentrations (0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 g/L), to replace the conventional working fluid R134a/Polyolester (POE) oil. The overall performance of the system was observed by evaluating different parameters such as; pressure ratio, compressor energy consumption (EC), refrigeration effect (RE) and COP. The results revealed that by using 0.4 g/L nanolubricant with LPG reduced the pressure ratio and compressor’s energy consumption by 54.3% and 25% respectively, and also improved the COP by 25% compared to R134/POE. The ideal concentration for nanolubricant among all the working fluids was found to be 0.4 g/L.

Authors: Kaur Jasmeen , Sharma Dr. Monika
Published: February 2025

Background: Competitive swimmers are at an increased risk of low back pain (LBP) and lumbar disc degeneration due to repetitive spinal hyperextension, particularly in butterfly and breaststroke swimmers. Strengthening lumbar extensors has been proposed as an effective intervention to improve spinal stability and prevent disc degeneration.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of lumbar extensor strengthening exercises in preventing disc degeneration and reducing low back pain among swimmers.

Methodology: A quasi-experimental study was conducted on competitive swimmers (n=10) with a history of low back discomfort or at risk of lumbar degeneration. Participants were divided into:

Intervention Group (IG) – 12-week lumbar strengthening program
Control Group (CG) – Regular swimming training without lumbar-specific exercises Outcomes were assessed using:
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain intensity
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for functional disability
MRI-based Pfirrmann Grading for disc degeneration
Isokinetic strength testing for lumbar extensors
Results:

The Intervention Group demonstrated:

Significant pain reduction (VAS score ↓ by 52%, p < 05)
Improved functional outcomes (ODI score ↓ by 40%, p < 05)
Increased lumbar extensor strength (peak torque ↑ by 37%)
MRI findings showed improved disc hydration (Pfirrmann Grade reduction in 60% of IG participants)
Conclusion: Lumbar extensor strengthening significantly reduces pain, enhances spinal function, and prevents degenerative changes in competitive swimmers. This intervention should be integrated into regular swimmer training protocols to enhance performance and longevity in the sport.

Authors: Saker Neto Demetrio , Bruno da Silva Alexandre Antônio
Published: February 2025

O artigo aborda a relevância jurídica da criação de regiões metropolitanas como instrumento de cooperação entre municípios, estados e sociedade no Brasil. Segundo a Constituição Federal de 1988, os estados têm o poder de instituir regiões metropolitanas, aglomerações urbanas e microrregiões por meio de lei complementar, com o objetivo de integrar a organização, planejamento e execução de funções públicas de interesse comum. Este modelo é apresentado como uma alternativa para promover o desenvolvimento regional, através da cooperação interinstitucional e ações conjuntas gerenciadas pelo Estado. Isso permite o desenvolvimento econômico sem prejudicar a autonomia dos municípios, preservando sua influência nas eleições municipais. A participação dos eleitores nas eleições municipais é destacada como um importante mecanismo para as regiões metropolitanas, pois permite que os cidadãos escolham seus representantes e decidam sobre questões que afetam diretamente suas vidas e a dos municípios vizinhos, especialmente no que diz respeito aos serviços públicos. O trabalho propõe realizar pesquisas bibliográficas e empíricas para explorar essa temática. Em última análise, destaca-se a importância das regiões metropolitanas para fortalecer o processo de cooperação federativa e reduzir as disparidades existentes na federação brasileira. O artigo busca refletir sobre o papel dessas regiões como um meio de promover a coesão territorial e o desenvolvimento equilibrado do país.

Degrading Boko Haram Terrorism in the Muhammadu Buhari Era: Issues and Realities
Authors: OPEYEOLUWA Rotimi Olajide , Balogun Noah Opeyemi
Published: February 2025

The continuing haemorrhagic nature of Boko Haram calls for an exhaustive discourse on the veracity or otherwise claim of President Buhari’s government of “technically defeating” the terrorist group as quickly as possible once elected. This paper examines the evolving and sustained onslaught of Boko Haram terrorism in Nigeria against the backdrop of government insistence that the sect has been substantially degraded; the index to the contrary is worrying and alarming for the citizens to bear. This has thrown up a ferocious debate about the claim and counterclaim across the political divide and even the country in recent times. However, regardless of what opinion one holds, the sheer scale of the brutality of the sect after the government’s continuous claim that it has been degraded in the face of a sustained military offensive, both by ground forces and air interdiction operations imply that the sect is resilient and yet to be degraded. This paper, therefore, attempts to provide explanatory narratives on the prevalent realities and also opines that even though the counter-insurgency operation presaged the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari; and having inherited the “war” more needs to be done in the immediate years of his presidency. That the Boko Haram sect continues to run rampage is simply unacceptable in the face of his campaign promise to defeat the sect within the shortest possible time of his ascendancy to the highest office in the land. The paper concludes that terrorism currently assailing the Nigerian state requires a critical examination with appropriate solutions rather than the government’s tepid claims that continues to be challenged by a sect that has evidently grown more audacious in the intervening years since it first evolved in 2009.
Restoring Tranquility: Tackling Traffic Noise for Enhanced Comfort in Indonesia Kaya Park, Semarang City, Indonesia
Authors: Suwarno Kusweanto David , Nysa Pertiwi N. S. Natania , Martha Jebatu Eldisya
Published: February 2025

The comfort of a landscape can be seen from the microclimate and traffic noise in the landscape. Traffic noise, including tire and engine noise, is a common disturbance, particularly in cities, and can lead to diseases. Indonesia Kaya Park, located in Mugassari, Semarang City, is an urban park and public space managed by the Djarum Foundation. Despite numerous studies evaluating its accessibility and biophilic elements, the condition of traffic noise nor potential interventions have been considered. The research question aims to understand the traffic noise condition of Indonesia Kaya Park and identify necessary interventions. The study used a mixed methodology, combining quantitative and qualitative methods such as qualitative description, IDW, and I-SIMPA. Indonesia Kaya Park should implement a 1.5-meter buffer using endemic plants and bamboo to reduce traffic noise. The I-SIMPA application was used for a simulation, showing a 6.3 dB reduction by using a buffer. However, further studies are needed to simulate artificial interventions, as I-SIMPA cannot simulate complex structures like twisted bamboo. Further research is needed to improve the park's noise control strategy in terms of the acoustic behavior of each vegetation species. This research recommends placing interventions in high urgency to promote better health and a better experience in Indonesia Kaya Park.

Published: February 2025

O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar como os diagnósticos dos alunos impactam a autoria pedagógica dos professores, com foco nas mudanças nas posições subjetivas de aprendente-ensinante. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma escola da Rede Estadual do município de Sombrio, com a participação de professores do ensino fundamental que atendem alunos que possuem diagnóstico. A análise incluiu levantamento de dados documentais sobre os diagnósticos e uma abordagem teórica sobre a psicopedagogia, a construção do sujeito autor, os diagnósticos e a medicalização destacando-se os autores: Fernández (1991, 2001, 2008), (Freire, 1996), Pain (1985), Pires, Sacilotto e Próspero (2021), Acampora (2015), Angelucci (2014). A análise de conteúdo investigou os diagnósticos, seus impactos nas decisões pedagógicas, dificuldades enfrentadas e a autoria dos professores, com foco em uma prática pedagógica mais inclusiva. Os resultados indicaram que os diagnósticos, muitas vezes, acabam por imobilizar o professor titular, transferindo para o segundo professor a responsabilidade pelas adaptações e pelo trabalho direto com os alunos, o que gera uma espécie de terceirização do trabalho pedagógico. Além disso, observou-se que o conhecimento sobre os diagnósticos pode gerar mudanças na posição subjetiva de aprendente-ensinante, influenciando diretamente a prática pedagógica. No entanto, fatores como a escassez de tempo para o planejamento, diálogo da equipe e a necessidade de formações continuadas ainda representam obstáculos significativos para o fortalecimento da autoria pedagógica.

Published: February 2025

O artigo aborda a importância do Congresso Pedagógico do Pará (CPP) para a modernização da instrução pública no início do século XX. A pesquisa, fundamentada em uma abordagem histórica e documental, analisa o regimento e as atas das sessões do Congresso para compreender suas contribuições para o ensino no estado. O CPP foi um evento pioneiro ao reunir diversos setores da sociedade para discutir melhorias educacionais alinhadas às diretrizes do novo regime republicano. Entre os principais temas debatidos estavam a modernização da escola, a formação docente, a estrutura do ensino público e a difusão de princípios republicanos. Os resultados indicam que, embora o Congresso tenha representado um avanço significativo na formulação de políticas educacionais, sua efetividade foi limitada por restrições políticas e institucionais. A análise das propostas aprovadas revela a influência da ideologia republicana e o desejo de equiparar a instrução pública local aos padrões europeus. Conclui-se que o CPP teve um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento educacional paraense, mas seu impacto foi restrito pela conjuntura política e social da época.
The Unimaginability of Non-Human Minds
Authors: Browning Jacob
Published: February 2025

Kant's comments on animal minds have provoked radically different readings, with some contending animals have clear and distinct awareness of their world and others contending animals lack consciousness altogether. This paper argues that Kant's comments have received such divergent responses because, according to Kant, we inevitably slide into a deceptive anthropomorphism when talking about non-human minds. While Kant follows contemporaries, such as H.S. Reimarus, in arguing humans can only conceive of animal minds by analogy with their own, Kant's transcendental idealism shifts the meaning of this analogy. The upshot is that animal minds, just like the mind of God, are intrinsically unimaginable for humans. We can talk about them, but it is mere talk; we cannot know what we are talking about.
Encountering Publicness and Multiculture: Public Pedagogy with a Multilingual Community Choir
Authors: Dieckmann Samantha Sebastian
Published: February 2025

This article presents an ethnography of Lullaby Train: public art performances by a multilingual community choir in Melbourne, Australia. Singing lullabies on trains and platforms produced encounters that were notably distinct from those experienced within the Lullaby Choir itself as well as in performances attended by self-selecting audiences. Lullaby Train was designed to revitalize particular modes of civic engagement but instead produced conflicting forms of publicness and multiculture. Examining these performances as pedagogical sites, I argue that the quotidian interactions that characterize urban social relations provide important insights for the study and practice of intercultural music.
The Dilemma of Applying Reputation Rights Norms in the Context of Information Authenticity and Its Institutional Optimization
Authors: Du Fang
Published: February 2025

In the digital age, the authenticity of information has become increasingly challenging to verify due to the pervasive influence of generative artificial intelligence technologies, such as deep synthesis and text-to-video. This has led to a proliferation of reputation infringement incidents. In the face of the crisis of information authenticity brought about by new technologies, current regulations governing reputation rights reveal several critical shortcomings, including incomplete identification of infringing parties and inaccurate judgment of infringing acts. To address these problems, firstly, providers of true information should also be included within the scope of reputation infringers and be required to bear a portion of the duty of reasonable verification. Secondly, the scope of assessment for insult and defamation should be expanded to account for cases in which the difficulty in discerning the authenticity of information leads to an initial surge, followed by a decline, in the social evaluation of individuals. Lastly, it is crucial to focus on the interconnectedness of regulations concerning generative artificial intelligence, information dissemination, and reputation rights, ensuring that these areas are harmoniously aligned to effectively protect individual reputation in the digital era.

Published: February 2025

With the continuous development of modern industry, the engineering practice is becoming more and more complicated. in view of the poor speed regulation performance of AC motor, such as slow response speed and weak anti-interference ability, based on the modular design idea, based on the theory of constant voltage-frequency ratio control and vector control, starting with the mathematical model of asynchronous motor, the simulation experiments are completed through MATLAB simulation software, and the components of the simulation model are analyzed step by step. The corresponding simulation waveforms are obtained from the two models. The simulation results show that the vector control method has better dynamic and static performance, especially in the case of sudden load.
A Study on the Packaging Design of Beijing Clay Toy Rabbit Based on Urban Memory Theory
Authors: Zhao Yiran
Published: February 2025

To enhance the effectiveness of the packaging design for clay figurines, this study takes the traditional Beijing Clay Toy Rabbit, rich in cultural heritage, as the research subject, aiming to explore the innovative practice of urban memory theory in the packaging design of traditional crafts. By extracting design elements, conducting user surveys to select design elements, engaging in design practice, and gathering user ratings and feedback, a packaging design process based on urban memory theory is constructed. User evaluation results indicate that this method not only strengthens the cultural characteristics of the product but also significantly enhances consumer identification and purchase intention. It is evident that integrating urban memory theory into the packaging design of Beijing Clay Toy Rabbit not only helps the rabbit figurines re-enter the public eye with a more vivid image but also provides new ideas for the packaging design of other traditional crafts.

Background and purpose: The regulated nursing profession in Canada includes Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) with diploma qualifications and Registered Nurses (RNs) with baccalaureate degrees. Nursing programs, such as the LPN to Bachelor of Nursing (BN) post-program, prepare LPNs for RN qualifications after successful licensure. RN preceptors mentor these learners for the RN role during the final consolidation practicum (CP). This pilot study examined what constitutes a successful transition for LPN to BN learners and explored key markers of this transition from the perspectives of both learners and preceptors. The study also provides insights into factors influencing the transitional experiences of learners during their final CP.Methods: A qualitative interpretive descriptive approach with a two-phase research design was employed. In phase one, preceptors (n = 12) and learners (n = 10) completed an online survey comprised of open-ended and closed-ended questions. Phase two included semi-structured interviews with survey participants. De-identified survey data and interview transcripts were analysed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis.Results: Participants identified markers of role transition, including altered thought processes, increased confidence in the new role, and the development of skills and competencies. Both positive and negative influences on the transition process were also reported.Conclusions: The insights gained from this pilot study can inform improvements in nursing education, particularly in LPN to BN post programs. Understanding the factors affecting transition can guide curricula development to enhance the successful transition of LPNs to RNs, thus empowering educators and policymakers to make effective changes in nursing education.

The objective of the present study was to verify the presence of DNA of bovine alphaherpesvirus 5 (BoAHV5) and 1 (BoAHV1) in brain samples from healthy cattle slaughtered or that died naturally affected by neurological diseases. The healthy ones were beef cattle (n=30) raised in the north central mesoregion from Paraná, southern Brazil. The sick cattle had a definite diagnosis of rabies (n=38), BoAHV encephalitis (n=25) and other neurological diseases (n=37). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were performed on fragments of the telencephalon, cerebellum and brain stem to confirm the presence of BoAHV5 and BoAHV1 DNA. Bovine alphaherpesviruses were confirmed in cases of BoAHV5 (n=22) and BoAHV1 (n=3) encephalitis. There were no observed coinfections. In rabid cattle, BoAHV5 was confirmed in eight (21%) and BoAHV1 in one (2.6%). BoAHV5 was also present in two (5.4%) cattle with other diseases (botulism and polioencephalomalacia), and in two (6.6%) healthy cattle. It can be concluded that, due to the possibility of latent infection, the presence of BoAHV5 or BoAHV1 DNA in the brain of cattle that died with neurological diseases may complicate the differential diagnosis in some cases.

This study addresses the prompt injection attack based vulnerability in large language models, which poses a significant security concern by allowing unauthorized commands by attackers to manipulate the outputs produced by model. Text classification methods used for detecting these malicious prompts are investigated on the prompt injection dataset obtained from Hugging Face datasets, utilizing a combination of natural language processing-based techniques applied on various machine learning and deep learning algorithms. Multiple vectorization approaches, like the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency, Word2Vec, Bag of Words, and embeddings, are implemented to transform textual data into meaningful representations. The performance of several classifiers is assessed, on their ability to identify between malicious and non-malicious prompts. The Recurrent Neural Network model demonstrated high accuracy, achieving a detection rate of 94.74%. Obtained results indicated that deep learning architectures, particularly those that capture sequential dependencies, are highly effective in identifying prompt injection threats. This study contributes to the evolving field of AI security by addressing the issue of defending LLM based systems against adversarial threats in form of prompt injections. The findings highlight the importance of integrating sequential dependencies and contextual understanding in combatting LLM vulnerabilities. By the application of reliable detection mechanisms, this study enhances the security, integrity, and trustworthiness of AI-driven technologies, ensuring their safe use across diverse applications.

Published: February 2025

Cyber-bullying has emerged as one of the most common social problems in online social networks, where advanced techniques of detection are required against its overwhelming growth. As the fastest-moving entity, the digital communication mechanism still needs to develop more effective ways to locate and diminish Cyber-bullying cases, which is a crucial area of research in developing more sophisticated and accurate detection systems. This study is new as it utilizes novel technology called "BullyNet," the state–of–the–art deep learning model, to address the Cyber-bullying phenomenon uniquely. Our efforts in this study are to design and deploy BullyNet, a novel deep-learning model that combines cutting-edge feature extraction and representation techniques to distinguish Cyber-bullying activities from other types of online behavior appropriately. The model is designed to detect minutiae linguistic and contextual cues associated with online harassment, using a multi-layered approach to fine-tune and optimize its performance, which enables it to reduce false-harassment detections. The effectiveness of BullyNet was validated and verified through extensive testing and validation on a popularly diverse dataset drawn from various social networks online. The model that was developed exhibited a precipitous accuracy of up to 95% and displayed its advanced capability for detecting tricky bullying patterns while at the same time reducing deficient levels of false positives. Besides the described enhancement in cyber-harassment detection, this theme unveils an opportunity for a more secure and nurturing online social environment.

In this study, we conducted a detailed astrometric, and photometric study of four open clusters (SAI 43, SAI 47, SAI 63, and SAI 113) using data from Gaia DR3. The ASteCA code enabled the identification of the astrometric and photometric parameters. The new centers of these clusters were redetermined and from Radial Density Profile (RDP), the cluster radii, are between 3.13- and 6.6 arcmin for all clusters. The astrophysical parameters are as follows: the number of star members N are 141 (SAI 43), 153 (SAI 47), 198 (SAI 63), and 188 (SAI 113); parallax (  ) for SAI 43, SAI 47, SAI 63, and SAI 113 are between 0.275 and 0.506 mas; proper motion parameters (  cos a ,   ) are (0.57, -0.54 mas/yr), (0, -0.34 mas/yr), (-0.24, 0.26 mas/yr), and (-5.61, 2.84 mas/yr) for SAI 43, SAI 47, SAI 63, and SAI 113, respectively. The photometric parameters include the color magnitude diagram (CMD), ages, reddening, and distances. The ages are provided as log (age), and they are between (7.172-8.659); the color excess E(B-V) is 0.476±0.017 mag for SAI 43, 0.375±0.014 mag for SAI 47, 0.510±0.009 mag for SAI 63, and 1.265±0.011 mag for SAI 113, the distance modules of the clusters are between 11.177-13.439 mag, and the distances from the sun to each of the clusters (SAI 43, SAI 47, SAI 63, and SAI 113) are calculated as 4900±100 pc, 2360±30 pc, 1720±20 pc, and 3720±50 pc, respectively.
Water balance in agricultural catchments amidst climate and land use changes in Sweden
Authors: Malmquist Louise
Published: February 2025

Crop production depends on water availability from precipitation and soil infiltration and storage. Historically, efforts to enhance soil moisture have focused on modifying agricultural landscapes and hydrological pathways. With climate change increasing water saturation and deficit risks, understanding the role of water diversion and storage in sustaining yields is crucial. This thesis explored how the water balance in agricultural landscapes can be affected by climate change, historical, current and potential future agricultural water management and anthropogenic interventions. Using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT+), hydrological modeling was conducted in four Swedish agricultural catchments with varying temperature and precipitation regimes to assess historical and future water balance In Paper I, new datasets were developed for soil water, stream networks, open ditches and subsurface drainage. The results showed increased infiltration and water-holding capacity with the soil texture classification system used. Furthermore, the flow path length increased by 14% to 21 %, and two new maps over subsurface drainage were presented. In Paper II, modelling water balance in historic and current climate, land use, varying hydromorphology and water storage, resulted in marginal shifts in water partitioning, despite significant increase in subsurface and surface drainage and reduced wetland area over time. In Paper III, exploring effect on soil moisture and evapotranspiration under current and future climate in four contracting agricultural catchments showed increased drying of both soil moisture and evapotranspiration with increased warming. Hence partially opposing previous findings. In conclusion, representing historical landscape water balance across scales remains challenging due to variations in data resolution. Historical structures and stream delineation offer insights for enhancing catchment storage and infiltration capacity. However, Paper I highlights the necessity of high-resolution data for accurate landscape representation. Future climate change is expected to increase soil moisture drying, but responses at the catchment scale remain ambiguous, necessitating further investigation into soil moisture dynamics under climate impacts.
