Authors: B Emerahighe , I Achebo J. , A Ozigagun , O Uwoghiren F.
Published: February 2024

The compositional range of materials to be welded, the thickness of the base materials, and current type are the main determining variables in the choice of welding. However, thermal expansion in mild steel weldments occurs when the material expands or contracts when subjected to changes in temperature during welding or subsequent heating and cooling cycles. This expansion and contraction can lead to residual stresses, distortion, and even cracking in the weldment if not properly managed. Mild steel, like many other metals, expands when heated and contracts when cooled. One major challenge occurs when during welding, the high temperatures cause the metal to expand in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and the weld zone itself, then as the weldment cools down, it contracts, but this contraction might not be uniform due to differences in cooling rates across the weldment. The present study aims to predict the thermal expansion of mild steel weldments in relation to the current, voltage and gas flow rate. The central composite design is used for the design of experiment of 20 experimental runs, while the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used for the analysis. The model used in the RSM is Quadratic, while the coefficient of determinant, R-Squared of 0.9642, Adj R-Squared, 0.9319, Pred R-Squared, 0.7133, Adeq Precision 22.307 were obtained. There was no outliner which showed that the model adequately predicted the response. The study establishes that thermal expansion of mild-steel weldment can be adequately predicted by applying expect system such as the Response Surface Methodology.

The Gloss of War: Revisiting the Korean War’s Legacy
Authors: Dudziak Mary
Published: February 2024

In war powers analysis, reliance on the interpretive method of historical practice, also called the “gloss of history,” has made history a technology of the forever war. This approach draws upon the history of U.S. military conflict to interpret the scope of presidential war power and embeds past actions into the separation of powers. There is a crucial flaw in this methodology, however. The understanding of history in historical gloss is not informed by the changing historiography of war. This has led to a divergence between the “history” in legal authority and the revised historical understanding in scholarly works of history. Whereas lessons of history in other contexts often serve as levers for reexamination of government action, in gloss-of-history analysis the past instead serves to legitimate settled practices. The consequence is that presidential overreach is not recognized and corrected, but instead built into the doctrine of expanding unilateral power.

This Article is the first to examine how static ideas about history in legal analysis have aggrandized presidential war power. It analyzes the most important example of this: President Harry S. Truman’s unilateral actions in the Korean War and subsequent reliance on his example in executive branch legal opinions. The war is a principal precedent supporting the idea that presidents may use substantial military force without congressional authorization. This has legitimated unilateralism in less massive wars, and since that time all U.S. uses of military force have been in conflicts smaller than Korea, with the exception of the war in Vietnam. Decades of historical scholarship, however, have shown that Truman misunderstood the nature of the conflict and disregarded Congress’s role, and that his advisors failed to seriously consider Congress’s war authorization power until after force was deployed. Historians have also shown the devastating costs of war for Koreans, whose experience is not centered in the U.S. war powers literature. Historical revision did not prompt legal reconsideration, however. Instead, the Korean War is calcified as a significant precedent supporting executive unilateralism, undermining democratic limits, and enabling ongoing war. The Article argues that gloss of history analysis must be dynamic, attentive to the way understandings of the past change over time. An approach to gloss informed by historical revision could reassert history’s role as a critical perspective on law.

Polymer coatings to control fretting corrosion
Authors:   Bashkarev A.YA. Bessonova V.YU. Kuschenko A.V.
Published: February 2024

It is proposed to apply a thin-layer polyamide coating to the surface of one of the mating parts to eliminate fretting corrosion in fixed metal joints. To increase the reliability of the joint by increasing the coefficient of friction in the "steel—polyamide" pair, it is recommended to add finely dispersed iron minium powder to the polymer. This provided the same frictional interaction in the mating surfaces as in the steel-steel pair. The results of studies at different pressures and temperatures are presented.

HIDDEN HORRORS: HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN IRAQ - A NATION IN NEED OF ANTI-TRAFFICKING LAWS
Authors: Aishwarya Singh
Published: February 2024

Human trafficking and settler trafficking are universal and general offence that use men, women and children for interest. Many parts of the world witness these kinds of trafficking, here we are discussing trafficking in Iraq. Forced nuptials, household subjugation within the community, family and tribe as well as strained labor and strained prostitution, are all forms of human trafficking that have been recorded in Iraq for a prolonged duration. Since the 2003 invasion and ensuing civil war, Iraq has flattered a more perennial harbor for external hirelings who are at a higher danger of being trafficked and majority migrates from the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, and other countries with elevated degree of penury. In consonance to reliable accounts, the Iraqi military trafficked Kurdish women into commercial sex labor during the Anfal campaign in the late 1980s, and women who were displaced during the revolt in southern Iraq in 1991 have been detained for prostitution in the KRG. Increased risks for the most vulnerable women, children, minorities, displaced persons, and other vulnerable groups have also been brought on by the conflict with ISIS in Iraq.
However, the Iraqi government officials are yet to bring laws that could prevent these offenders and punish them. Iraq has never brought any anti-trafficking codifications, aiding traffickers to advance to function with indemnity.

Credit is not only one of the critical inputs in agriculture but also an effective means of overall development of rural economy. A number of agencies such as co-operatives, regional rural banks, commercial banks, self- help groups and a well spread informal credits out lets together constitutes the Indian rural credit delivery system. Rural credit is any type of lending program or line of credit that is aimed at impacting a rural population in some manner. There are banks and co operatives that specialize in extending these types of credit to farmers and others engaged in the agricultural task.
Rural credit seen has undergone a major transformation the quality of cultivator’s credit has improved. It has become more and more production oriented and institution biased correspondingly. Individuals have access to rural credit options under certain circumstances. For example, novice farmers and ranchers may be granted a loan or line of credit to manage the acquisition and upgraded of an existing farm operation or the establishment of a new one. Farmers and ranches are sometimes extended credit of this type when some sort of natural disaster has reined crops and threatens the ongoing operation of the branch or farm.

The National Policy of Empowerment of Women- A Critical Evaluation of Policies with Special Reference to Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2006
Authors: - Joshua N. Kaki
Published: February 2024

The simple logic about the status of women in India is “as women receive greater education and training, they will earn more money. As women earn more money they spend it in the further education and health of their children, as opposed to men. Women rise in economic status; they will gain greater social standing in the household and the village, and will have greater voice. As women gain influence and consciousness, they will make stronger claims to their entitlements - gaining further training, better access to credit and higher incomes - and command attention of police and courts when attacked. As women's economic power grows, it will be easier to overcome the tradition of "son preference" and thus put an end to the evil of dowry. As son preference declines and acceptance of violence declines, families will be more likely to educate their daughters” (Coonrod, 1998). In other words, the women need to be ‘empowered.’

This Paper basically aims to discuss about the contemporary discourse of the India-China border dispute in the eastern sector in the beginning of the 21st century. It includes the study of changing patterns of India- China border dispute in the eastern sector and about the official attempts to settle border dispute, particularly in the eastern sector. Because, in the last century, both India and China had taken considerable measures for settlement of boundary question in several times. Also, both the country had agreed and forwarded their will to boundary settlement, ensuring peace and tranquilities across the border areas. It was extended in the beginning of the 21st century for resolving boundary dispute with a permanent solution between India and China. But, after all these significant events, the world’s longest and most complex boundary dispute had not been resolved till today. Rather, China has increased their aggressive territorial claim over Indian jurisdictions. As such, this environment directly affects in the both countries’ relationship that has been challenged the stabilities and peace across the Asian theatre. Thus, it provides tremendous scope to study the political geography of the India- China border dispute in the eastern sector as the Chinese has started claiming their territorial rights aggressively in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, in the eastern sector borderland.

India and Anti Money Laundering Measures: A Critical Study of Legislation & Its Enforcement
Authors: - ABHINAV SHARMA , - RAJINDER VERMA
Published: February 2024

Money laundering is the process that criminals use to erase the connection between the crime and the money concealing the criminal source of the funds. The money laundering process has three stages viz., (a) placement, (b) layering and (c) integration. In the initial placement stage, the launderer produces its legal profits into financial system by breaking up large amounts of cash into unsuspicious smaller sums. In the layering stage, the launderer engages in a series of conversions or movements of the funds to distance those from their original source. After successful processing of criminal profits through first two phases, the launderer moves those to integration stage, so that the funds enter the legitimate economy. Money laundering has a very bad impact not only on the national financial infrastructure but it also crumbles the international financial system.
This paper aims to analyse the current state of money laundering laws in India, offer a critical assessment of the enforcement machinery, investigate whether the laws as written correspond to the actual situation on the ground, and determine the amount of work needed to implement the necessary changes so that the legislation can be effectively enforced.

Sunflower seeds are recognized for their therapeutic benefits, while honey is for its antibacterial and nutritional properties. The energy bars, including a basic version and two variations, were analyzed for various nutritional parameters. The moisture content exhibited slight increments, measuring from 6.83±0.01, to 7.03±0.01, while the ash content showed minimal differences at 0.05±0.01. Energy content increased from 380±0.032 to 410±0.026, and protein content ranged from 9.17±0.01 to 9.19±0.01. Fat composition showed marginal variations while the fiber content was measured at 6.67±0.01, 6.77±0.01 and 6.78±0.01 grams. Ascorbic acid concentrations increased from 0.7±0.015 to 0.81±0.0026, while thiamine and riboflavin concentrations showed slight fluctuations. Sensory evaluation revealed that T2 (30% honey) scored highest in various categories, including color (8.5±0.527), taste (8.6±0.516), texture (8.2±0.788), flavor (8.5±0.707), appearance (8.5±0.527) and overall acceptability (8.6±0.516). T2 emerged as the most preferred, followed by T1 (25% honey) and T3 (35% honey).

Using an instructional aid in teaching Mathematics is important in simplifying the abstract concepts behind numerical expressions. This study determined the effectiveness of using a conventional whiteboard in teaching Probability and Statistics online. It was conducted in the Senior High School Department of Misamis University, Ozamiz City, from 2021-to 2022. Quasi-experimental research, specifically the matching pretest-posttest control group design, was used. The respondents were 40 senior high school students from the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Grade 11 classes, with 20 students each for the experimental and control groups. They were selected through a purposive sampling technique. Mean, standard deviation, and t-test were utilized as statistical tools. Findings revealed that before using a conventional whiteboard and PowerPoint presentations as instructional aids, both control and experimental groups had low pretest performance. After implementing the interventions, both groups showed a significant increase in their posttest performance. There was a statistically significant difference in the posttest performances between the control and experimental groups, which revealed that using a conventional whiteboard in teaching probability and statistics led to higher student performance than with PowerPoint presentations. Hence, a conventional whiteboard is a more efficient teaching tool that aids students in effectively learning Probability and Statistics.

Crisis of Genre and Diasporic Identity in Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior
Authors: - AMRITA ADITI
Published: February 2024

Maxine Hong Kingston makes a conscious choice of presenting a multi-generic narrative in her autobiography, The Woman Warrior (1975) as a method of structural navigation which describes her experiences and struggles while growing up as a Chinese-American girl in California. As a diasporic text this choice of stretching the sacred conventions of autobiographical genre subjects it to scrutiny which primarily focuses on the text’s impact rather than search for meaning for the protagonist. The dispute among critics essentially considers the novel as fiction clumsily disguised as autobiography. This paper argues that the incorporation of talk stories, memory, fact, fiction along with elements of Chinese and American culture enables Kingston to truthfully comprehend a disoriented past where stories of the ‘other’ coexist and help in reconstructing a unique personal self. The deconstruction of generic boundaries in the text become tools for questioning the public-private binary associated with history and autobiography respectively. However, this blurring of distinctions between fiction and non-fiction in the novel is brought about not by ignoring norms of genre but by actively evaluating and engaging with it. An objective retelling of Kingston’s story then relies on multiple subjective experiences and fictious accounts which enable her to situate herself within her family and community and to understand the complexities of Asian-American identity.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of iris claw anterior chamber fixation versus suture less intrascleral intraocular lens implantation in terms of visual recovery and complications during and after surgery.
Method: The present prospective observational study was conducted in the Postgraduate Department of Ophthalmology at SMHS Hospital, Govt. Medical College, Srinagar over a period of one and half year.
Results: A total of 30 patients were studied and divided equally into two groups with patients age ranging between 19-70 years with mean age of 49.5+17.41 years in iris claw anterior chamber IOL group and in suture less intrascleral fixated IOL group with age ranging between 24-70 years with a mean age
of 51.9+15.94 years. Primary fixation of IOL was implanted in 8 (26.7%) patients, out of which 5 (33.3%) underwent iris claw anterior chamber IOL fixation and 3 (20%) patients underwent suture less intrascleral fixated IOL while the remaining 22 (73.3%) underwent secondary IOL.Mean preoperative BCVA improved from log MAR 0.78+0.251 in iris claw anterior chamber IOL to log MAR 0.85±0.241 in suture less intrascleral fixated IOL to log MAR {0.23±0.206 & 0.18±0.191} in two study groups respectively. Eyes with iris claw IOLexperienced pigment precipates (73.3%) followed by ovalisation of pupil (26.7%) while as intraocular pressure (33.3%) followed by corneal edema (13.3%) and transient hypotony (6.7%) were seen in suture less intrascleral fixation of IOL.
Conclusion: It was concluded that both irises claw anterior chamber IOL fixation and suture less SFIOL using flange are viable options for surgical correction of aphakia.

Comparative investigation on capture characteristics of chalcopyrite and hematite in PHGMS process

Published: February 2024

Pulsating high-gradient magnetic separation (PHGMS) is a promising method of separating chalcopyrite from other minerals with similar floatability. However, the capture characteristics of chalcopyrite in PHGMS process remains poorly understood. In this study, the difference in the capture capacity of chalcopyrite and hematite, a typical weak magnetic mineral, was theoretically compared. The effects of the key operating parameters, i.e., magnetic induction, slurry flow rate, and magnetic wire diameter, on the capture difference of chalcopyrite and hematite were investigated through experimental verification. The comparison results showed that chalcopyrite shared similar capture trend with hematite. The capture mass weight of the matrix decreased with an increase in the pulsating frequency, slurry flow rate, and magnetic wire diameter, but it increased with improved magnetic induction. However, chalcopyrite exhibited an obviously smaller capture mass weight due to its lower susceptibility, which required a higher magnetic induction, slower flow rate, lower pulsating frequency and smaller matrix diameter for high efficient recovery of chalcopyrite. This study provides a reference for the PHGMS of separating chalcopyrite from typically applied weakly magnetic minerals by PHGMS process.
