Geochronological reconstruction of the glacial evolution in the Ésera valley (Central Pyrenees) during the last deglaciation
Authors: Vidaller Ixeia , Fujioka Toshiyuki , López-Moreno Juan Ignacio , Moreno Ana ,   the ASTER Team
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The last deglaciation period in the Pyrenees was distinguished by intricate glacier dynamics, encompassing a multitude of advances and rapid glacier retreats that did not always align with the fluctuations observed in other European glaciers. The Ésera valley, located in the Central Pyrenees (northern Spain), provides a distinctive opportunity to reconstruct past climate in high-mountain regions during the last deglaciation period. Previous studies of glacial evolution in this area have employed a variety of methods, including the analysis of glacial lake sediments and detailed geomorphological studies of glacial landforms. This paper presents measurements of cosmogenic 10Be exposure ages from glacial deposits and a polished bedrock surface in the Ésera valley, together with calculations of the equilibrium line altitude (ELA), with the objective of reconstructing the evolution of the Ésera glacier and the associated environmental implications during the last deglaciation. Following the Pyrenean Last Glacial Maximum, at approximately 75 ka in the Ésera valley, the Ésera glacier commenced a period of retreat during the Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 3, reaching a point of stabilisation at approximately 47 ka at the location of the Pllan d’Están proglacial lake. Subsequently, a new glacial advance resulted forming the Llanos del Hospital moraine (~16 ka), a glacial deposit located a lower altitude in the valley than Pllan d’Están lake. During that time interval, we suggest that sediment deposition at Pllan d’Están took place in a subglacial environment. Following the conclusion of the Oldest Dryas period (~16 ka) and continuing into the Early Holocene, the Ésera glacier underwent a rapid retreat. The Little Ice Age (LIA) represented the last cold period documented in the Ésera valley, after which the glacier has exhibited a persistent retreatment. The ELA analyses indicate that the temperature in the Ésera valley increased by 3.6 ± 0.45 °C over the past 16 ka, which resulted in the retreat of the glacier front from 1750 metres above sea level (m a.s.l.) to 3000 m a.s.l.
Stratified suppression of turbulence in an ice shelf basal melt parameterisation

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Ocean-driven basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves is an important process that affects the Antarctic Ice Sheet, global climate and sea level. Basal melting occurs within ice shelf cavities, which are not represented in most global ocean or climate models. Models targeted for studying ice-ocean interactions include ice shelf cavities and are critical tools for understanding basal melt and the ocean circulation beneath ice shelves but rely on parameterisations to predict basal melt. Most currently used basal melt parameterisations best represent shear-driven melting occurring in a limited parameter space of ice shelf cavity conditions. In other conditions, stratification of buoyant meltwater against the ice interface suppresses melt and diffusive convection plays a role, both processes that are not adequately included in existing melt parameterisations. We implement an improved three-equation melt parameterisation in two ocean models, which accounts for stratification suppressing the turbulence that drives basal melting. This stratification feedback parameterisation is based on the results of LES studies, which suggest a functional dependence of heat and salt transfer coefficients on the viscous Obukhov scale. Changes in melting and circulation due to the stratification feedback are regime-dependent: melt rates in idealised, quiescent simulations decrease by 80 % in warm cavity conditions and 50 % in cold conditions. The stratification feedback also suppresses melt rates in a high-resolution regional Pine Island Glacier simulation by 60 %, suggesting that much of the ice shelf boundary layer is affected by stratification. However, unconstrained boundary layer parameters, inter-model differences and unresolved processes continue to present challenges for accurately modelling basal melt in ocean models.
GEOCLIM7, an Earth System Model for multi-million years evolution of the geochemical cycles and climate

Published: December 2024

Abstract. The numerical model GEOCLIM, a coupled Earth system model for long-term biogeochemical cycle and climate, has been revised. This new version (v 7.0) allows a flexible discretization of the oceanic module, for any paleogeographic configuration, the coupling to any General Circulation Model (GCM), and the determination of all boundary conditions from the GCM coupled to GEOCLIM, notably, the oceanic water exchanges and the routing of land-to-ocean fluxes. These improvements make GEOCLIM7 a unique, powerful tool, devised as an extension of GCMs, to investigate the Earth system evolution at timescales, and with processes that could not be simulated otherwise. We present here a complete description of the model, whose current state gathers features that have been developed and published in several articles since its creation, and some that are original contributions of this article, like the seafloor sediment routing scheme, and the inclusion of orbital parameters. We also present a detailed description of the method to generate the boundary conditions of GEOCLIM, which is the main innovation of the present study. In a second step, we discuss the results of an experiment where GEOCLIM7 is applied to the Turonian paleogeography, with a 10 Myr orbital cycle forcings. This experiment focus on the effects of orbital parameters on oceanic O2 concentration, particularly in the proto-Atlantic and Arctic oceans, where the experiment revealed the largest O2 variations.
Understanding the stress field at the lateral termination of a thrust fold using generic geomechanical models and clustering methods

Published: December 2024

Abstract. This study employs numerical simulations based on the limit analysis (LA) method to calculate the stress distribution in a model that includes a basal detachment, featuring the lateral termination of a generic fault under compression. We conduct 2500 2D and 500 3D simulations with varying basement and fault friction angles to analyze and classify the results into clusters representing similar failure patterns to understand the stress fields. Automatic fault detection methods are employed to identify the number and positions of fault lines in 2D and fault surfaces in 3D. Clustering approaches are utilized to group the models based on the detected failure patterns. For the 2D models, the analysis reveals three primary clusters and five transitional ones, qualitatively consistent with the critical Coulomb wedge theory and the influence of inherited structural and geometric aspects over rupture localization. In the 3D models, four different clusters portray the lateral prolongation of the inherited fault. High stress magnitudes are detected between the compressive boundary and the activated or created faults and at the root of the inherited active fault. Tension zones appear near the outcropping surface relief, while stress decreases with depth at the footwall of the created back thrusts. A statistical cluster-based stress field analysis indicates that for a given cluster, the stress field mainly conserves the same orientations, while the magnitude varies with changes in friction angles and compressive field intensity, except in failure zones where variations are sparse. Small parametric variations could lead to significantly different stress fields, while larger deviations might result in similar configurations. The comparison between 2D and 3D models shows the importance of lateral stresses and their influence on rupture patterns, distinguishing between 3D analysis and 2D cross-sections. Lastly, despite using small-scale models, stress field variations over a span of a couple of kilometers are quite large.
A Bibliometric Survey of Metadiscourse (1979-2023): Looking behind to Look Ahead
Authors: Li Gaoxin , Xu Jinfen
Published: December 2024

This paper aims to present a systematic overview of metadiscourse discourse studies published in different sources, examine the structure of scientific collaboration, identify hot research areas, and trace the research trends. To meet this objective, the bibliometric records of metadiscourse-related publications are first retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Then, the bibliometric analysis and social network analysis are employed to analyze the retrieved bibliometric databased with bibliometrix and VOSviewer. Our bibliometric analysis shows that the overall trend of metadiscourse-related publications has been on the increase, with a relatively slow growth before 2011. It also identifies the most productive journal, the top prolific author, the top productive institution and country.
On the other hand, the social network analysis yields collaboration networks, and keyword-based co-occurrence networks. The collaboration networks show the most fruitful co-author collaboration network, and the most productive co-institution network, and the most productive co-country network. The keyword-based co-occurrence network sketches major research areas and detects their changing trajectory. Hence, the findings are expected to help orient novice researchers to metadiscourse studies, and offer the insights for future researcher to address the emerging issues of metadiscourse.
Still Matters! Kurdish EFL Learners' Perceptions towards Non-Native English Teachers’ Pronunciation Skills
Authors: Mahmood Rizgar Qasim
Published: December 2024

Pronunciation is the fundamental aspect of a spoken message (Pennington & Rogerson-Revell, 2018). Although there are at least four non-native speakers of English for every native speaker (Braine, 2010), and this rate is still increasing, the issue of non-native speakers (NNS) English teachers has not been resolved. This paper reports on a study carried out in Iraqi Kurdistan which explored the perceptions of undergraduate university students towards their non-native English teachers. The students were asked to complete an online questionnaire. After the data analysis process, although the results show that the students have shown positive perceptions towards their NNS English teachers; third-year students had less favorable perceptions than second-year students. The reasons for the students’ different perceptions are discussed. On the whole, most of the participants believed that NNESTs, including Kurdish EFL teachers, can teach pronunciation courses, but they need to be trained before teaching this skill. The findings suggest pedagogical implications for ESL/EFL teachers and learners during teaching and learning pronunciation skills.
Lyrics, images and performance in mainstream music videos in Spanish
Authors: Guarinos Virginia , Ana Sedeño-Valdellós
Published: December 2024

The relationship between lyrics and visual band in music video is a singular form of interaction in the audiovisual production. The work aims to analyze the correspondences between the images and the song, considering music and lyrics in the most recently successful music videos in Spanish. From a wide sample of starting, a total of fifteen musical themes in Spanish of various mainstream styles (pop, hip hop, reggaeton) have been selected for the final analysis and the enunciation, structure and gestures are studied both in the song and in music video for publicity. Moreover, we studied other related elements such as the visual and aesthetic world model represented in the music video´s images and the semantic fields of the song lyrics. The findings are aimed at clarifying a differentiation by musical genres in terms of the relationship between lyrics and music. Reggaeton uses poor and vulgar semantic fields, resorting to the use of repetitive sounds within the lyrics. Rock and pop seek a co-expressiveness between music and the visual, and use gestures such as the performer's hand to build the relationship with the fan/listener.
Direction of translation and textual cohesion: A study of two Spanish translations of The Analects using Coh-Metrix-Esp
Authors: Liu Zhao , Sun Ce
Published: December 2024

This study set out to investigate the effect of direction in textual cohesion. It compares two Spanish translations of 论语 (The Analects) from Chinese, one by a non-native translator and the other by a native translator. Using Coh-Metrix-Esp, both translations are analyzed at the lexical, syntactical, and textual levels to evaluate the overall textual cohesion. The results confirmed an effect of direction in translation: translation conducted by a native speaker is more coherent and easier to read than that by a non-native translator. However, some parameters revisited also suggest that non-native translator can be more successful in some respects. Our conclusion is that there is no apparent advantage of a native translator over a non-native translator.
The Necessary Symbiosis: How ChatGPT Co-authored a New Type of Learner’s Grammar to Be Displayed in a Digital Writing Assistant
Authors: Li Qian , Tarp Sven , Nomdedeu Antonio
Published: December 2024

This paper reports on an ongoing research project aimed at developing a new type of Spanish learner’s grammar, different from those found in textbooks, grammar books and dictionaries. The new grammar, designed to be displayed in digital writing assistants, will explain problems that occur in written learner texts. The paper first describes the main features and functionalities of this grammar and how it will be presented to Spanish learners. It then discusses the development of a methodology for categorising relevant error types, using a unique combination of existing grammars, dictionaries and ChatGPT, all of it supervised by lexicographers with experience in language teaching. Based on this categorisation, the paper explains how the chatbot is prompted to write explanations of the different error types, which it does very well in fruitful interaction with the human lexicographers. The methodology is described in detail with several examples. Finally, the paper explains how the original Spanish explanations are machine translated into English and Chinese, and provides examples of the final result in each language. Throughout the paper, the complex relationship between generative AI and humans is discussed, and it is concluded that a successful result like the one achieved requires both the ability to handle the chatbot properly and the knowledge of the topic being dealt with.
La organización informativa de los mensajes de voz en mensajería instantánea
Authors: Pérez Béjar Víctor , Cabanillas García David
Published: December 2024

A pesar de las muchas similitudes entre la conversación por mensajería instantánea y la interacción oral cara a cara, ambas presentan características particulares. Uno de los aspectos más definitorios de la primera son los cambios de canal del contenido verbal, que puede transmitirse en forma de texto escrito o mediante mensajes de voz. Este trabajo se centra, precisamente, en las características discursivas de los audios de WhatsApp, una de las aplicaciones de mensajería instantánea más empleadas en la actualidad. El objetivo principal de la investigación es doble: entender cómo los audios de la aplicación se insertan dentro de la estructura conversacional y descubrir si presentan una organización interna que refleje los mecanismos de formación que usan los hablantes al emitirlos. Desde un modelo macrosintáctico, observamos la distribución de la información en el audio y delimitamos unidades temáticas que nos dan pistas de su estructuración. Mediante un análisis cualitativo de las características conversacionales de WhatsApp y el recuento de ciertas tendencias en la organización de temas dentro de los audios pretendemos arrojar cierta luz sobre su configuración discursiva.
Tres décadas de innovación en políticas de empleo para personas con problemas de salud mental (1991-2021): rehabilitación laboral, empleo con apoyo y recuperación de la ciudadanía
Authors: Valmorisco Pizarro Segundo , De Fuentes García-Romero de Tejada Carlos
Published: December 2024

Este artículo analiza el grado de cumplimiento de los principios del Modelo IPS (Individual Placement and Support) de empleo con apoyo establecidos por Bond, Drake y Becker (IPS Employment Center, USA) en los Centros de Rehabilitación Laboral (CRL) de la Comunidad de Madrid. Para los autores, el éxito en la contratación de personas con problemas graves de salud mental, pasa por identificar qué factores crean facilitadores vocacionales para la consecución y mantenimiento del empleo. El análisis basado en la explotación de datos de las memorias de actividad y en entrevistas en profundidad y focus group, realizados a pacientes, familiares y personal de dichos centros, indican que en el Modelo de rehabilitación laboral se cumplen cinco de estos principios y que debería darse una readaptación de este modelo hacia la recuperación de la persona (enfoque integral más allá del empleo), mejorando el cumplimiento de alguno de los principios del modelo IPS.
Nomadismo en la universidad: migraciones académicas y jóvenes investigadores capturados en la lógica del trabajo por proyectos
Authors: Santos-Ortega Antonio , Moldes-Farelo Rocío , Muñoz-Rodríguez David
Published: December 2024

El artículo aborda las condiciones de vida y trabajo de los jóvenes investigadores e investigadoras que emprenden procesos migratorios como consecuencia de la lógica de movilidad académica dominante en la universidad actual. La universidad neoliberal ha incluido la movilidad en los sistemas de evaluación y la ha convertido en una práctica obligatoria para toda la mano de obra académica que inicia su carrera universitaria. A su vez, esta movilidad alimenta el modo predominante de organización de la investigación universitaria basado en el trabajo por proyectos. Basándonos en un corpus de entrevistas en profundidad con estos investigadores/as, analizamos sus experiencias en trabajo por proyectos en universidades fuera de España. A través de los discursos podemos comprobar cómo los tiempos acotados del proyecto y su caducidad imponen su ritmo a las vidas inestables de las y los jóvenes investigadores, aumentando intensificación del trabajo y la competitividad, entre otras consecuencias.
Documenti epigrafici sulle istituzioni di Melita (Malta) in età romana
Authors: Cappelletti Loredana
Published: December 2024

Testi in lingua latina (CIL X 8318.7494.7495) e in lingua greca (IG XIV 601.602.953) offrono informazioni esclusive e fondamentali sulla storia politica e istituzionale di Melita nel periodo compreso tra i secoli I a.C. e II d.C. Dall’analisi di tali documenti emerge il quadro di un’isola, che da un lato è ormai perfettamente inserita nel processo di municipalizzazione e di integrazione nell’amministrazione provinciale operato dal governo romano; dall’altro lato Melita e i suoi abitanti dimostrano anche la volontà di coltivare e preservare aspetti linguistici e istituzionali legati al sostrato culturale punico e siceliota.
The Servant of YHWH during the Babylonian Exile: An Extension of an Existing Israelite Mission, or a New Departure?
Authors: Kunnumpurathu Paul Ignatious
Published: December 2024

The question of how Israel looked outward historically is a long-standing one. Is there a genuine tradition of proselytism in the Old Testament? Although there are indications of Abraham’s proselytism and his belief that the blessings of God would extend through him to all nations, the missionary dimension was almost non-existent through the centuries which followed. Israel was engaged in virtually continuous wars against its neighbours, both to consolidate its borders and ensure its survival, and consequently became focussed on itself. The emergence of the Servant of YHWH in the sixth century B.C. represents a drastic shift to an altogether more altruistic orientation. To appreciate the depth of the missionary or salvific undertaking of the Servant, the various dimensions of his identity, as unfolded in the texts of Isaiah, will be explored. His liberating mission was directed towards the people of Israel and to the gentiles, as is seen in the four Servant Songs in Deutero-Isaiah, where he is depicted as: a) Servant, the Executor of Social Justice (Isa 42:1–4); b) Servant, the Mediator between YHWH and His peoples (Isa 49:1–6), c) Servant, the Preacher of Liberation (Isa 50:4–9), d) Servant, the Promulgator of Salvation (Isa 52:13–53:12). The figure we encounter in the Servant Songs is really unique in the history of Israel, and stands out in striking contrast to all the other prominent figures we might consider in the nation’s history. His liberating mission during the Babylonian exile is also unparalleled. There are therefore ample grounds for concluding that the Servant’s mission to extend salvation to both Israel and the gentiles is not an extension of the existing Israelite mission, but is of an entirely new order.
Ks. Wincenty Kraiński - powstaniec, kapłan i lektor (1786–1882)
Authors: Kogut Mieczysław
Published: December 2024

Artykuł stanowi kompendium zawierające historyczne wzmianki dotyczące życia i działalności ks. Wincentego Kraińskiego, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem momentu jego metanoi, zmiany myślenia i sposobu działania. Opracowanie dostarcza obszernych informacji o tym mniej znanym aspekcie życia kapłana – z zakresu duchowości. W pierwszej części artykułu przedstawiono długi, lecz kontrowersyjny okres zaangażowania ks. Kraińskiego w ruchy rewolucyjne oraz omówiono jego członkostwo w lożach masońskich. W kolejnej części artykułu ukazano metamorfozę duchową księdza Kraińskiego. Zmiana jego samoświadomości i poglądów dokonała się pod wpływem osobistej modlitwy, częstych spowiedzi i świadomości obecności Boga w Komunii Świętej. Wkrótce odkrył też powołanie do kapłaństwa, następnie przyjął święcenia i rozpoczął 37-letnią posługę kapłańską. Druga część artykułu koncentruje się na długim okresie pracy ks. Kraińskiego we Wrocławiu, gdzie pełnił posługę duszpasterską. W trzeciej części artykułu omówiono pracę kapłana na Uniwersytecie Wrocławskim. Był tam lektorem języka polskiego, rosyjskiego, francuskiego, włoskiego i angielskiego. Artykuł ten rzuca nowe światło na postać Wincentego Kraińskiego, ukazując jego przemianę – od rewolucjonisty do oddanego kapłana i nauczyciela – oraz wpływ na historię Wrocławia i polskiego Kościoła.
Nowy człowiek: dzięki łasce czy technologii? Tomasz z Akwinu wobec obietnic transhumanizmu
Authors: Roszak Piotr
Published: December 2024

W artykule została przedstawiona teologiczna ocena propozycji transhumanizmu dotyczącego tzw. ulepszenia człowieka (human enhancemnt), które nie sprowadza się jedynie do wdrażania nowych technologii, ale pociąga za sobą szereg kwestii antropologicznych i teologicznych. W artykule, sięgając do teologii Tomasza z Akwinu, wskazano na zasadnicze różnice między ideą nowego stworzenia w chrześcijaństwie a technologicznym tworzeniem nowego człowieka w transhumanizmie. Została przedstawiona refleksja Akwinaty dotycząca sensu życia ziemskiego jako ważnego etapu do osiągnięcia nowego stworzenia, przeprowadzona na kanwie jego interpretacji Ewangelii św. Mateusza. W przekonaniu św. Tomasza z Akwinu nowe stworzenie, choć radykalnie różne, to jednak rodzi się ze starego stworzenia, które staje się drogą do osiągnięcia celu przeznaczonego przez Boga dla człowieka. Następnie przeanalizowano konsekwencje transhmanistycznej antropologii opierającej się na gnostyckiej redukcji istoty człowieka do sfery duchowej, a także nawiązania do eschatologii sekularnej, jaka pojawia się w poglądach transhumanistów.
Hans Urs von Balthasar, un testigo ausente del concilio Vaticano II
Authors: Blanco-Sarto Pablo
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo muestra las ideas teológicas de Hans Urs von Balthasar sobre el Vaticano II. El teólogo suizo fue un atento espectador del concilio, incluso cuando no estuvo físicamente presente en el evento eclesial. Su actitud ecuménica se forjó antes y después del concilio, tal como se presenta en las siguientes partes del artículo. En primer lugar, un tema común sería la atención a la Escritura y cómo integrar sus conocimientos patrísticos en un marco interpretativo. En segundo lugar, Balthasar sostuvo la postura encarnacionista respecto a las realidades terrenas e insistió en la dimensión misionera de toda la Iglesia, así como la importancia del laicado y la centralidad de la constitución Lumen gentium entre los textos del Vaticano II. En fin, junto a un generalizado cristocentrismo, el teólogo suizo aprecia en los textos conciliarse importantes desarrollos respecto a la mariología y la libertad religiosa.

Published: December 2024

In this work, we propose a novel chalcogenide cross-slot waveguide for efficient supercontinuum generation in the mid infrared wavelength range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The cross-slot waveguide has several geometrical parameters that provide a flexibility in tailoring its dispersion profile over a broad range of wavelengths. A detailed numerical investigation is conducted using the vector finite element method to obtain an approximately uniform dispersion profile ranging from 1.5 ?m to 4.5 ?m wavelength with three zero dispersion wavelengths at 1.9 ?m, 3.11 ?m, and 4.39 ?m. The proposed cross-slot waveguide can be pumped at several wavelengths and has potential in developing on-chip supercontinuum sources.
FUZZY LOGIC-ENABLED STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FOR ACCURATE BEST STUDENT AWARD SELECTION
Authors: SINGH BHAVANA , SHARMA MANJU
Published: December 2024

Our proposal in this study was to build an initiative tool called Initiative Systematic Performance Evaluation (ISPE), which would be based on the Fuzzy Logic Approach and would be used to measure the abilities of students. Data gathered from a leadership program that was carried out at Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University in Lucknow, India, is the basis for the selection of the top student, which is the primary subject of this study. Because of the subjectivity and intricacy of estimating models, the ongoing practice includes various hindrances that are both tedious and hard to recognize. During the evaluation process, ISPE helps to provide evaluators with a better decision-making solution, which is why it is so important. The experts are able to incorporate any ambiguity and subjectivity into the evaluation system by utilizing fuzzy logic techniques, which were used in the developmental process of ISPE. A total of four attributes-leadership, communication, discipline and CGPA are used as the basis for the formulation of fuzzy rules in this model. With regard to the conventional technique, the results that were obtained show that the proposed model ISPE is capable of enhancing the efficiency of decision-making, which would result in fairness in the selection of the best candidate.

A BRIEF STUDY OF SYNTHESIS OF METALLIC NANOPARTICLES VIA HYDROTHERMAL PROCESS
Authors: UPADHYAY SANJAY KUMAR , VARMA VISHANT , PUNDHIR DEVBRAT
Published: December 2024

There are many methods for the synthesis of metallic nanostructures. In which hydrothermal process is one of the most commonly used method for manufacturing metallic nanoparticles. It is a solution based approach to the synthetic process of nanoparticles. This also applies to sol-gel and chemical precipitation approaches etc. Hydrothermal is the term used for water as a solvent performing a chemical reaction in a sealed vessel in which the temperatures of the solvents can be raised to their critical point through concurrent heating with autogenous pressure. When other solutions are used as solvents the method is referred to as a solvothermal process. By this process we can control the size of the synthesized nanoparticles by changing the temperature and reaction time. Average size with the increase in temperature and reaction time, the size of the synthesized nano particles will increase .from this method we can synthesized nano particles with the different shapes and size range from 3nm -1000nm within 150 -600? temperature and 1-3 hour time. This reaction is carried out in a sealed vessel called an autoclave. It is made of steel and has a Teflon container inside. After fitting the container into a steel vessel and heating it, a chemical reaction occurs in the Teflon container.

Published: December 2024

In the future, artificial intelligence (AI) will alter business processes and companies which will have the potential to solve important societal issues such as resource scarcity and environmental sustainability among others. The real value of artificial intelligence will not be found in the way it allows civilization to decrease rather than focusing on the intensity of its energy, water, and land use, in the way it supports and promotes good environmental governance practices. Artificial intelligence could be used to model water elements such water quality variables, evapotranspiration and evaporation, sediment, streamflow, rainfall-runoff, and lake or dams water level variations. The modelling of water variables by artificial intelligence is vital step in the water resources management in any aquatic environment. As a result, AI offers some potential research opportunities in the future for the modelling of water parameters. As the world's population continues to increase, the most important consideration is how to create the most of available water supplies. The decision-making skills of artificial intelligence may be used to achieve this optimization and automation. AI-based planning allows agencies and water agencies to better comprehend real-time loss of water and abuse, develop and implement extensive distribution connections, and the production of net revenues as the commercial goal using artificial intelligence. AI has the ability to provide instant remedies while posing no long-term threats to environmental protection. It is necessary to evaluate the influence of AI on the attainment of the Sustainable water resource management system.

STABILITY ANALYSIS OF DISEASED PREY-PREDATOR MODEL IN A POLLUTED ENVIRONMENT
Authors: SINGH Prof. UDAY RAJ , SUMAN SATENDRA KUMAR
Published: December 2024

When one or both predator and prey populations are afflicted by disease, it is especially important to understand the dynamics of predator-prey interactions in ecosystems increasingly affected by anthropogenic pollution. To better understand the intricate relationship between ecological and environmental aspects, this abstract proposes a theoretical framework for a sick prey-predator model in a polluted environment. Our model takes into account the interplay between prey, predator, and disease dynamics. The assumption is made that a contaminant has an influence on prey populations, either directly or indirectly. Diseases can spread between populations when predators and their prey come into contact with one another. Rates of predation, disease transmission, pollution exposure, and survival are all represented by factors we include. Our model's results show that pollution can alter the dynamics between prey and predator, leaving the system more vulnerable to disease outbreaks. Oscillations, extinction events, and changes in disease incidence are just a few examples of the complex and non-intuitive ecological patterns that can emerge when these elements interact. Because of their domino effect on ecosystems, environmental degradation and disease dynamics in the context of predator-prey interactions are highlighted in this study. To evaluate and lessen the effects of pollution on natural ecosystems, it is essential to conduct extensive ecological and environmental monitoring. Finally, in ecosystems where pollution constraints are increasing, understanding the dynamics of a diseased prey-predator relationship is critical for creating effective conservation and management solutions. This study offers important insights for sustainable ecosystem management and conservation by adding to our knowledge of how ecological systems react to anthropogenic perturbations.

A MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATION OF SBIRS MODEL FOR MANAGING TYPHOID AND CHOLERA CO-INFECTION
Authors: VARSHNEY KRISHNA GOPAL , DWIVEDI YOGENDRA KUMAR
Published: December 2024

Typhoid and cholera transmission dynamics were studied by employing a mathematical model with optimal control strategies. Using a deterministic compartmental model, the impact of different forms of regulation was assessed and contrasted. Using the next-generation matrix, we can calculate the fitness of the virus, which serves as a measure of the epidemic's severity. Both a disease-free stable state, in which no populations are infected with typhoid and cholera, and an endemic condition, in which a co-infected population exists and is capable of transmitting the disease, are demonstrated to exist by our work. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the local stability criteria of the disease-free equilibrium points. Finally, the model was numerically simulated, and the results show that prevention has a major impact on lowering the spread of the co-infection, and that using all available control methods can successfully eradicate typhoid and cholera co-infection from the population.

REDUCED DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORM METHOD FOR TIME FRACTIONAL NONLINEAR PDES: MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK AND COMPUTATIONAL ASPECTS
Authors: SINGH PRABAL PRATAP , SINGH OMENDRA , RAGHAV SEEMA
Published: December 2024

Because of its computing efficiency, precision, and relative simplicity, the Reduced Differential Transform Method (RDTM) has become a powerful analytical tool for solving many types of partial differential equations (PDEs). Our focus here is on time fractional nonlinear PDEs, a large and important class of mathematical models, and how RDTM may be applied to solve them. Traditional solution methods are challenged by the complicated behaviour of these equations, which emerge in different scientific areas including physics, engineering, and biology. This study lays out a full mathematical scheme for solving time fractional nonlinear PDEs using RDTM. First, we provide an overview of RDTM and how it has been modified to deal with fractional derivatives. Afterwards, we describe in detail the process for applying RDTM to nonlinear PDEs with fractional temporal derivatives, elaborating on important computational details and algorithmic stages. We show numerical examples of the methodology in action, showing that it efficiently and accurately solves various time fractional nonlinear PDE types. In addition, we go over the computational details of using RDTM to solve time fractional nonlinear PDEs. In sum, the paper meticulously lays out the theoretical groundwork and computational details of using RDTM to solve time fractional nonlinear PDEs. The offered methodology provides a useful resource for academics and professionals in quest of effective answers to complicated mathematical models found in many scientific and engineering domains.

Flipped classrooms also redefine as inverted classroom. This kind of teaching comprehend in which task are given to the students to study at home from books and practice concepts through assignments. Through the Inverted classrooms teachers set target for their courses, learning for class in advance, choose high quality class, and helpful information collection upload on websites which also help in reducing paperwork which also helps in reducing the paperwork. The flipped classrooms are shifting from Passive learning to active learning state i.e., from traditional learning classroom teaching to flipped classrooms. In traditional classrooms students receives limited amount of time but on the other hand in flipped classrooms student get extra time and as they can learn through lecture videos also. It applies competency - based learning in which student becomes master of one topic before moving on to another topic. Flipped learning is a strategy in which teachers record their lectures and post those videos on online, which student can access. Students study at home by watching these videos and when they come to class, they let's get ready with that lecture. To improve the existing problems in the quality of teaching process this paper conducts descriptive research on Inverted classroom and to find out the problems faced ion traditional classroom teaching method.

O aprisionamento às telas e o declínio das experiências de leitura no Brasil
Authors: Pessoa Yago Bezerra
Published: December 2024

Este texto surge de uma inquietação de pesquisa que tem por objetivo interpretar a relação entre o declínio das experiências de leitura e o aprisionamento às telas digitais, entre as mais diversas faixas etárias da sociedade brasileira. Para substanciar as reflexões, acionamos teorias e epistemologias que embasam os estudos em leitura no Brasil e no exterior, a fim de melhor compreendermos os riscos ao pleno exercício da leitura na e fora da escola. Além desses pressupostos, analisaremos a matéria jornalística “Agarrados à tela”, publicada na Revista Piauí, que retrata o tempo de permanência dos usuários de telas em redes sociais de todo o mundo. Por fim, consideramos ser o tempo de exposição às telas, pelos brasileiros, um agravante ao desenvolvimento da leitura e um desafio maior aos professores de língua portuguesa, sem esquecer-se do atestado concreto da inexistência de uma política pública de leitura em grande escala no país.
Online Radio and the Promotion of Art Music in Nigeria
Authors: O. M. Ayokunmi,
Published: December 2024

Online radio is the distribution of audio broadcasts over the internet, meaning that the radio signal is not transmitted through the conventional terrestrial AM or FM, but streamed via the internet. The broadcast can be a pre-recorded MP3 file or live, via a microphone broadcast streamed over the internet. Just like any terrestrial radio, online radio broadcasts news, plays music of all genres and presents a number of programmes in diverse areas, including educational, cultural, religious, political, informational, entertainment shows, etc. Art music is seen as school music, a product of inspiration structured by intellectual prowess with varied content. In recent times, there has been an increase in the use of online radio for the popularization and sustenance of art music broadcast, which is now the focus of this research. It looks at an art music radio show titled Let Music Reign, anchored by Ayokunmi OlaOluwa on Stride Radio, which is an online/internet radio broadcasting station located in Ibadan, Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria. It looks at the concept and medium of online radio broadcasting which is digital based, how it helps in the promotion of art music, and checks the content of the music show. The study is an etic research which applies library, netography and participant-observation methods for its data collection and interpretations. The paper concludes that online radio as an offspring of digital development is a viable medium of promoting art music across the globe.
