A Comparative Study of Baghdad as a Histo-Cultural Symbol in Salah Al-Hamdani's "Baghdad, My Love" and Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Recollections of Arabian Nights"
Authors: Al-Hameedawi Mustafa Amjed Jasim
Published: September 2024

This study examines the disparate literary representations of Baghdad by Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) and Salah al-Hamdani (1951–). The romanticized and wistful longing for a more exotic and daring Baghdad of Tennyson's "Recollections of the Arabian Nights" is presented. As an illustration of a deep love for its people, al-Hamdani's "Baghdad, Mon Amour" provides a close-up look into the city's stormy past. Al-Hamdani uses powerful imagery and moving language to capture Baghdad's resiliency and eternal soul. The poetry of Hamdani and Lord Tennyson are scrutinized and contrasted in this study using an eclectic approach combining Feminism and Orientalism analysis. In order to capture the poets' literary traditions and lyrical depictions of Baghdad, two poems were chosen. The analysis demonstrates how poetry may engage with a city's complicated character and history, underscoring Baghdad's ongoing value as a literary inspiration. The investigation comes to the conclusion that, albeit using different approaches, Tennyson and al-Hamdani both successfully convey Baghdad's significance as a historical and cultural metropolis. Al-Hamdani takes a reality-based stance, functioning as an observer, whereas Tennyson highlights the value of Baghdad by incorporating its history and culture.

Abuse of Matrimonial Laws by Wife and Role of Judiciary in Preventing Cruelty Against Husband: An Analysis
Authors: Kumar Dr. Rupesh
Published: September 2024

Indian marriages are considered sacred and they are once in a lifetime affair. It is a social folklore which has countless practices and rituals and is supposed to be not only between two homoserines but popularly among two units of humans who are extra ordinarily involved. It is an affair where lots of favours are put forward. Lately, it has been observed that the couples experience incompatibilities and distress. Discontent between the couples is the only reason that divorce rate and separations have increased attributing to Economic, social and cultural factors. This has assisted to an unprecedented social calamity. Centers like family and other law courts plus counseling cells and police administration that are said to be responsible for restoring social justice are extremely milked and over burdened. This has led people to adopt the trending concept of live in relationships. It is a traditionally accepted and established fact that a man is always considered as a macho and is physically stronger than the women whereas on the other side women have an extended hand on mental strength. This caters to the need of protection of men from mental violence if women are protected from physical violence. It has become a notion that when it comes to domestic violence cases and marital disputes, the husband with his entire pedigree and companions are said to harass the bride and are sketched as needy of dowry. This concept has been grasped by the legal and social systems of India. In the orthodox Indian society women have been victimized traditionally this is the reason the social and legal systems are obsessed and extremely concerned to protect the women from violence. This obsession has led to ignorance of misuse of various laws by wife and her relatives falsely accusing and harassing the legal mate and his pedigree by levying untrue and baseless averments and also by soliciting provisions of Anti-Dowry law. The women centric laws are misused only for blackmailing sympathy and extortion. In the era of Article 14 of the Constitution there are laws for the safety of women who falsely or truly claim to be harassed but at the same time there are no safeguards against harassment which is caused by wife to their bridegrooms. When a husband turned accused fights for his innocence the corrupt system, the feminist organizations, the police and the courts reminds him of systematic bias. There are special women-centric laws that provide for the safety of women who claim to be harassed. However, there are no safeguards against harassment caused by wives against the husbands.

Color Symbolism in Medieval and Safavid Manuscripts and in Islamic Aesthetics: A Historical and Comparative Analysis
Authors: Amna Anwaar Khan
Published: September 2024

The inquisitive nature of mankind is always looking for ways to explore things of its interest. It is interesting to write about art, architecture and artefacts but without consulting about color; the study remains incomplete.  Color symbolism in manuscripts has always been a rich source of studying diverse cultural and religious history. In the art of manuscripts, colors were not solely used to create an ideal reality but also gave meaning to the illustrations. Color symbolism is an essential part in every religious as well as secular art but the meaning and symbology may not be similar. The aim of this research paper is to draw attention to the color symbolism of Christian Medieval period and ‘Safavid’ Period manuscripts. The study provides that the metaphorical use of colors, their similarities, comparisons and expressionist style having different impacts in two diverse art works belong to mystical, religious and emerging time periods. Moreover, the paper is based on hermeneutic exploratory and descriptive research using the technique of innate expressionism.

A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted to detect the presence of E. coli in unprotected water wells of Chaona community in Mwachisompola area, Chibombo District of Zambia. 48 wells drawn from four villages were sampled from the study area. Laboratory processes of culturing, isolation and identification of E. coli confirmed the occurrence of the bacterium in well water. The identified E. coli was subjected to antibiotic resistance testing, and PCR was used to detect the resistant genes further. Of the 48 unprotected wells sampled, 38 (79%, 95% CI: 77.3 – 80.7%) were found contaminated with E. coli. Meanwhile, 16/48 (33.3%; CI: 31.4 – 35.2%) samples were found with an average CFU of between 1000 and 10,000, the highest range. E. coli isolates were also tested for Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR), of which one isolate indicated being resistant to eight antibiotics and another to five antibiotics presenting (5.88%; CI: 3.2 – 8.6%) for each. Meanwhile, seven isolates were resistant to four antibiotics (41.2%; CI: 35.5 – 46.9%), and eight isolates were resistant to three antibiotics (41.1%, CI: 35.4 – 46.9%). In addition, 30.9% (17/55) of the isolated E. coli organisms were found to be resistant to three or more classes of antibiotics primarily; Ampicillin, Streptomycin, Tetracycline, Cefotaxime, Nalidixic Acid, Norfloxacin and Ciprofloxacin. The study revealed that E. coli contamination was highly possible, and it is recommended that water should be boiled and or treated with chlorine before use at the household level.

Authors: Soares Vinicius Santos , Araújo Marcelo Guimarães , Moraes Marcel Pedroso de
Published: September 2024

Nesse artigo, destaca-se inicialmente, a evolução histórica dos conceitos de sustentabilidade e o de desenvolvimento sustentável, pelos quais fica evidente a relação entre os sistemas econômico, social e ambiental. Nesse aspecto, deve haver um equilíbrio entre eles e, para que isso ocorra, é necessário capacidade corporativa. Ressalta-se a importância que as organizações desempenham no desenvolvimento sustentável, incorporando práticas de governança e sustentabilidade em sua gestão, na implementação de medidas de avaliação de suas operações. Essa incorporação precisa ser monitorada, o que pode ser realizado por modelos de relato de sustentabilidade, que são ferramentas fundamentais para medir e monitorar os padrões sustentáveis, ajudando no processo de tomada de decisão. O artigo procura evidenciar a importância e as peculiaridades dos modelos de comunicação de métricas de sustentabilidade, uma vez que esse tema é pouco explorado na literatura. São apresentados os modelos de comunicação de métricas de sustentabilidade mais difundidos no Brasil, como a Agenda Ambiental na Administração Pública (A3P), a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) e o Modelo do Instituto Ethos (ETHOS), cada um com suas características e objetivos específicos.  Os relatos de sustentabilidade, buscam comunicar, informar e prestar contas à sociedade sobre as operações das organizações, seus impactos positivos e/ou negativos. Esses modelos de comunicação de métricas de sustentabilidade devem contemplar essas mudanças e informar o que as organizações estão fazendo para modificar esse quadro. Esse debate precisa e necessita ser aprofundado uma vez que a sociedade humana e o planeta estão precisando encontrar o seu ponto de equilíbrio, também conhecida como sustentabilidade.

Aliar o desenvolvimento agropecuário à conservação de recursos naturais, constitui um dos maiores desafios da atualidade, contudo, esse desafio torna-se mais simples quando o planejamento e a gestão ambiental são realizados com base nas características da paisagem. Sendo assim, objetivou-se com esta pesquisa, analisar a dinâmica espacial e temporal da cobertura do solo na microbacia e zona ripária do rio José Paulista. A análise da dinâmica da cobertura do solo foi realizada no período de 1985 a 2022, por meio de imagens do projeto MapBiomas e o software QGIS 3.28.9. Em 1985, a microbacia (5,66 km2) apresentava 75,09% da área composta por formação florestal e 22,44% de pastagem. No período de 1985 a 2008, ocorreu o crescimento constante da área de pastagem e a redução da área de formação florestal. Em 2022, as áreas de pastagem e floresta nativa ocupavam 68,90% e 30,92% da área total da microbacia, respectivamente. Na zona ripária (1,90 km2) observou-se uma dinâmica semelhante, em 1985 a formação florestal correspondia a 76,84% da área total, enquanto que a pastagem consistia em 20,00%. Em 2022, a área de pastagem predominou com uma ocupação de 65,79% da área total. Conclui-se que o avanço excessivo da área de pastagem na microbacia, e principalmente na zona ripária, coloca em risco a qualidade e a disponibilidade dos recursos hídricos, sendo necessário a adoção de ações integradas para mitigar o impacto antrópico e favorecer o desenvolvimento sustentável da região.

Research on Energy Control Strategy based on Improved Hybrid Energy Storage System
Authors: Zheng Zhao , Lin Guojun , Ye Haodong , Ma Jiayu
Published: September 2024

With the rapid development of globalization, problems such as resource depletion have become increasingly prominent, and new energy technologies will become a new way for humans to alleviate the energy crisis, resulting in a large number of new energy devices. The application of a large number of new energy devices has led to unstable power in the power grid. Therefore, this paper proposes an energy control strategy based on an improved hybrid energy storage system to improve power grid stability. By integrating a traditional single battery energy storage system into a supercapacitor energy storage system and combining it into a battery capacitor hybrid energy storage system, the power of the hybrid energy storage system is distributed to compensate for fluctuating power. Simulation results show that the energy management control strategy of the improved hybrid energy storage system can effectively smooth out the occurrence of power in independent microgrid systems. The issue of power fluctuations, this further proves the feasibility and correctness of the control strategy.
Research on the Influencing Factors of Carbon Emissions in Low-carbon Communities based on Complex Network Theory
Authors: Li Yang , Xu Weifeng , Zhang Weiwei , Zhang Xiangyu
Published: September 2024

Achieving carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060 is a solemn commitment made by China to address global climate change, and is also one of the main goals for economic and social development in the 14th Five Year Plan and the 2035 vision period. The changes in carbon emissions are directly related to the progress of China's "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality" goals. Therefore, in-depth research on the influencing factors of carbon emissions has become a key link in promoting the achievement of this goal. In the existing research on carbon emission influencing factors, countries mainly focus on macro scale low-carbon urban carbon emission influencing factors and micro scale low-carbon building full life cycle carbon emission influencing factors. However, there is relatively little research on the influencing factors of carbon emissions in low-carbon communities of urban micro units, and there is still considerable research space. This study conducted an in-depth analysis of the influencing factors of carbon emissions in low-carbon communities using complex network methods. By constructing a complex network model of factors affecting carbon emissions, we identified key nodes and pathways, and explored their interrelationships. The results indicate that factors such as energy structure, resident behavior, building design, and policy implementation play an important role in carbon emissions in low-carbon communities.

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current status, key factors, and future trends in the evaluation of digital teaching competencies among vocational college educators, both domestically and internationally. In China, vocational colleges have markedly enhanced teachers' digital teaching capabilities through various evaluation methods, including self-evaluation, peer evaluation, and student feedback, integrated with diverse teaching activities such as classroom observations, lesson plan evaluations, and digital resource production. However, challenges remain in the evaluation system, particularly in balancing technical assessments with innovations in teaching and student interaction. Internationally, regions such as the United States, the European Union, and Russia have developed robust evaluation systems that emphasize the deep integration of technology with pedagogical practices, digital literacy, and interdisciplinary competencies. These systems offer clear evaluation criteria, scientific methodologies, and diverse approaches, providing valuable insights for China's educational framework. Moving forward, the evaluation of digital teaching competencies in vocational colleges is expected to become more detailed and multi-faceted, with a heightened focus on media resource design and the integration of school-industry partnerships to advance teaching practices and professional development.

Polymictic gravels exploited in the vicinity of Rugvica, SE from Zagreb, comprise clasts of various lithology, colour, shape, and size. Pebbles are composed of sedimentary, volcanic and, sporadically, metamorphic rocks. During the field work we recognized fossils in the abundant carbonate pebbles. Most of the carbonate clasts are rounded, discoidal in shape, varying in colour from white to dark grey, almost black. Pebbles were measured by a calliper and petrographic thin sections were prepared from fossiliferous pebbles. Numerical analyses pointed to some minor differences in their shape and size, but micropaleontological analyses revealed clasts of Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Paleogene and Neogene age. Most of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic clasts originate from the two local mountain areas (Medvednica Mt. and Samobor Hills), with part of the Jurassic-Cretaceous pebbles possibly derived from SW Slovenia. Irregularly shaped and sometimes poorly rounded clasts of the Paleogene/Neogene ages seem to be abruptly transported to short distances by torrents or streams. The most enigmatic were the clasts of Carboniferous-Permian age. The nearest Palaeozoic outcrops occur upstream in Central Slovenia, but some fossils point to the even longer transport route, from the Karavanks in the upper flow of the Sava River. Gravels are overlain by fine-grained lake sediments and peat coal. Peat comprises significant amount of pine pollen, pointing to the warming period within the Late Pleistocene, which was additionally confirmed by the radiocarbon dating.

Published: September 2024

The implementation of Deep Learning in development of models to act as interventions for addressing the continuously evolving spate of cybersecurity issues has become a noteworthy paradigm. This occurs since cyber attacks could be modeled or represented in terms of data records which can serve as bases for developing intrusion detection systems. This paper proposes an intrusion detection system that leverages deep learning techniques for attack classification. Two deep learning models were developed, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) with ReLU activation as well as Tabular model using the fastai deep learning library. The NSL-KDD benchmark dataset was imported and preprocessed for each model development. After evaluating the models, the fastai model with accuracy of 84 percent surpassed the other DNN with accuracy of 79 percent on NSL-KDD test data.

Extraction of the third molar is a common technique. Pain, swelling and trismus are common signs of local inflammation during the postoperative phase. Moreover, opinions are divided when it comes to the mucosal closure phase of impacted mandibular third molar Objective: To compare the pain, facial swelling and mouth opening of single versus multiple suture techniques after third molar extraction. Methods: This quasi-experimental study included 54 patients aged 18-35 requiring mesioangular mandibular third molar extraction. Participants were non-randomly assigned to Group A (single suture) or Group B (multiple suture). Exclusions were based on suture allergies, chronic conditions, pregnancy, lactation, or acute infections. Impacted molars were classified using the Pell-Gregory system, and radiographs assessed impaction. Participants were instructed to return on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th postoperative days for assessment of Pain, swelling, and mouth opening, and comparisons between the two groups were made using the Student's t-test. Results: Patients in groups A and B had mean and standard deviation pain levels of 6.9 ± 0.9 and 6.4 ± 0.9 post-operatively on Day 1 and 2.0 ± 2.1 and 2.5 ± 2.7 on Day 7. Post-operative facial swelling measured 15.4 ± 2.4 and 17.0 ± 3.4 mm on Day 1, 14.8 ± 2.4 and 4 ± 2.7 mm on Day 7 in groups A and B. Mean and standard deviation of mouth opening in groups A and B were 26.5 ± 3.6 and 23.7 ± 2.8 mm post-operatively at Day 1, 29.6 ± 3.6 and 27.2 ± 3.0 mm at Day 7. Conclusions: It was concluded that based on post-operative pain, swelling, mouth opening, and trismus following third molar extraction, single suture approach was somewhat better than multiple suture.

POR UMA AGENDA INOVADORA DE GOVERNANÇA E GESTÃO:
Authors: Neto Joao Mendes da Rocha
Published: September 2024

A política regional brasileira encontra amparo na Constituição Federal, mas seu espaço na agenda de políticas públicas não se reflete nas condições institucionais postas na sua implementação. Esse quadro tem sido formalizado nas avaliações dos órgãos de controle do Estado brasileiro que, não tem considerado o complexo ambiente institucional no qual está inserida a Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Regional (PNDR), que requer estratégias de enfrentamento complexas, em face da multicausalidade do problema. Nesse sentido, o debate conceitual procura acionar uma abordagem ainda pouco utilizada na literatura brasileira quando trata de questões territoriais, os wicked problems. A análise se complementa com a utilização de documentos oficiais de diversas instituições governamentais. O estudo caracteriza-se como de ordem descritivo, com suporte bibliográfico e análise documental. E demonstrou que o acionamento da discussão conceitual e dos elementos constituintes de um problema complexo podem contribuir para uma agenda de gestão da PNDR inovadora e necessária.

Aim: The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) is a novel inflammation biomarker that reflects the nutritional and inflammatory status of patients. While there are studies on its use in cancer, cardiovascular, and renal diseases, there are no studies on preterm neonatal late sepsis. This study aims to emphasize the value of PNI in neonatal sepsis.
Materials and Methods: Newborns with a birth weight of less than 1500 grams and a gestational age of less than 32 weeks, along with healthy controls, were included in the study. The ability of PNI to predict sepsis, septic shock, and mortality was evaluated.
Results: PNI was an independent and inversely related parameter to the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis. The cut-off value of PNI to predict the presence of sepsis was ≤49.5, with a sensitivity of 98.3% (95% CI: 91.1-100.0) and a specificity of 96% (95% CI: 86.3-99.5). The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.995 (95% CI: 0.957-1.000) (p<0.001). The optimum cut-off value of PNI to predict the presence of septic shock was ≤37.1, with a sensitivity of 92.3% (95% CI: 64.0-99.8) and a specificity of 77.3% (95% CI: 67.7-85.2). The AUC was 0.894 (95% CI: 0.821-0.945) (p<0.001). The optimum cut-off value of PNI to predict mortality was ≤37, with a sensitivity of 92.3% (95% CI: 64.0-99.8) and a specificity of 78.4% (95% CI: 68.8-86.1). The AUC was 0.899 (95% CI: 0.827-0.948) (p<0.001).
Conclusion: PNI can be used as an independent dynamic biomarker to predict the presence and prognosis of neonatal sepsis.
