Published: August 2024

Currently, significant work is being carried out in our country to study the rich literary and historical heritage left by our ancestors, as well as manuscript sources. A collection of four poems by Alisher Navoi entitled “Nazmul-Javahir” can be called “Poetic Masterpieces” or “Poetic Masterpieces”. These quatrains are dedicated to hadiths - the wise words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), transmitted by Hazrat Ali and expressed in verse. Alisher Navoi highly appreciated the linguistic and literary abilities of Hazrat Ali. In his work Mahbubul-Kulub (Beloved of Hearts), he mentioned Hazrat Ali in the first category when he spoke about the people of Nazm. This work by Navoi is about education from head to toe. In “Nazmul-javahir” Navoi elu widely propagates the ideas of goodness, humanity, justice, and morality through his conclusions and generalizations based on the experience of village life. He tries to raise people to spiritual heights, gives instructions on what material and spiritual harmony should be.
ENHANCING RECEPTIVE SKILLS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING: THE INTERPLAY OF READING AND LISTENING COMPREHENSION
Authors:   PhD Student, Uzbekistan State World Languages University, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Rakhimova Shakhribonu
Published: August 2024

Receptive skills, particularly reading and listening comprehension, are crucial components of foreign language acquisition. This study explores the interplay between these skills and their significance in language learning by utilizing the scientific literary and analytical–synthetic method. The literature suggests that reading proficiency can enhance other language skills, whereas listening comprehension facilitates foreign language learning through various activities and the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Specific learning disorders, auditory functioning, and instructional materials can influence the development of receptive skills. The relationship between short-term memory (STM) and listening comprehension was also examined, highlighting the importance of enhancing STM capacity in improving listening skills. Additionally, vocabulary knowledge is central to both listening and reading comprehension. The research collectively underscores the importance of targeted strategies and resources to enhance the receptive skills of learners in foreign language contexts. However, individual learner characteristics and prior language experiences may require tailored approaches for effective improvement. While receptive skills are crucial for understanding, some argue that a balanced approach that incorporates both receptive and productive skills may lead to better language outcomes. Although receptive skills are certainly important for comprehension, it can be argued that a more holistic approach to language learning, which includes both receptive and productive skills, may ultimately result in more effective language acquisition. The basic aspects of teaching listening skills involve understanding the cognitive and pedagogical underpinnings of listening comprehension and applying effective strategies, such as top-down and bottom-up processing and a metacognitive approach, to enhance this skill.

The division of main and subordinate discourse information in real-time comprehension
Authors: Kim Sanghee , Xiang Ming
Published: August 2024

The study examines the role of discourse structure representation in real-time comprehension, with a focus on how main discourse and subordinate discourse information guides language processing. Using a web-based visual world eyetracking paradigm, we investigated pronoun resolution in two types of relative clauses: appositive relative clauses (ARCs) and restrictive relative clauses (RRCs). While ARCs were generally considered as secondary and side-commentary information, aligning with subordinate discourse, RRCs were usually construed as part of the main discourse. Making use of this distinction between ARCs and RRCs, the current study examined pronoun resolution with two possible antecedents. In one condition (RRC), the two antecedents were part of the same discourse whereas in the other (ARC), they were in distinct discourse units. We found stronger competition between the two possible antecedents in the former condition than the latter. Our findings can potentially be explained by an encoding interference, where linguistic entities encoded with similar discourse status information can lead to an interference effect.

Implementasi Metode New Jersey dalam Perhitungan Cadangan Premi dengan Suku Bunga Stokastik dan Konstan
Authors: Sulistyawati Yuni , Kartikasari Mujiati Dwi
Published: August 2024

Premium reserve allocation represents an obligation undertaken by insurance companies to set aside funds for future claims payment to policyholders. Some insurance companies have faced operational challenges, leading to their closure, primarily due to inaccurate premium reserve computations. This research aims to calculate premium reserve in lifelong insurance using the New Jersey method, an improvement upon the Illionis method. The New Jersey method initiates the premium reserve at the beginning or end of the first year at zero dollars. The majority of premium reserve calculations still rely on constant interest rates. However, in reality, this approach inadequately reflects future fluctuations in interest rates, which are crucial for long-term life insurance products. Therefore, this study implements a more realistic approach using stochastic elements, using the Vasicek stochastic interest rate model to determine premium reserve values. From this research, it was found that there was quite a significant difference between the New Jersey method premium reserve value and the two interest rates. The calculation graph shows that the premium reserve value using the Vasicek model of stochastic interest rates tends to be lower than when using constant interest rates. This can be caused by the results of non-constan variations in interest rates in the Vasicek model which ultimately results in fluctuations in interest rates which wffect the calculation of premium reserve.

Authors: Saputri Gustina , Herawati Netti , Ruby Tiryono , Nisa Khoirin
Published: August 2024

Regression analysis is one of the statistical methods used to determine the causal relationship between one or more explanatory variables to the affected variable. The problem that often occurs in regression analysis is that there are multicollonity and outliers. To deal with such problems can be solved using ridge regression analysis and robust regression. Ridge regression can solve the problem of multicollinearas by assigning a constant k to the matrix Z′Z. But in this method the resulting bias value is still high, so to overcome this problem, the jackknife ridge regression method is used. Meanwhile, to overcome outliers in the data using robust regression methods which have several estimation methods, two of which are the Generalized-M (GM) estimator and the Least Trimmed Square (LTS) estimator. The aim of the study is to solve the problem of multicollinearity and outliers simultaneously using robust jackknife ridge regression method with GM estimators and LTS estimators. The results showed that the robust ridge jackknife regression method with LTS estimator can control multicollinearity and outliers simultaneously better based on MSE, AIC and BIC values compared to the robust ridge jackknife regression method with GM estimators. This is indicated by the value MSE = -6.60371, AIC = 75.823 and BIC = 81.642 on LTS estimators that are of lower value than GM estimators.
The Comparison A-Optimal and I-Optimal Design in Non-Linear Models to Increase Purity Levels Silicon Dioxide
Authors: Aliu Muftih Alwi , Syafitri Utami Dyah , Fitrianto Anwar , Irzaman Irzaman
Published: August 2024

One of the obstacles that arise in optimal design is the non-linear model. The relationship between temperature factors and the temperature increase rates with the purity of silicon dioxide (SiO2) forms a non-linear pattern. Determining the optimal design for a non-linear model is relatively more complex than a linear model because it requires additional information in its information matrix. Therefore, this issue necessitates further research on optimal design in non-linear models. This study uses the polynomial Taylor approach to approximate the non-linear equation through a linear equation using the appropriate optimal design methods, namely A-Optimal and I-Optimal criterion. The point search algorithm used was variable neighborhood search, this algorithm searches for design points by exploring several different neighborhood structures. These two methods were chosen to compare the characteristics and performance of the designs produced, aiming to obtain an optimal design to improve SiO2 purity (non-linear case) using the same algorithm, VNS. The research results showed that the design pattern produced by the A-Optimal design formed three temperature groups, namely the minimum temperature of 800°C - 820°C, the middle temperature of 850°C, 860°C, and the maximum temperature of 900°C, with varying temperature increase rates in the design area. The design pattern produced by the I-Optimal design formed a full quadratic pattern, namely the minimum temperature of 800°C and the maximum temperature of 900°C, with varying temperature increase rates in the design area. The I-Optimal design demonstrated the best performance (most optimal) in the aspect of prediction variance compared to the A-Optimal design across all alternative points in this study to improve SiO2 purity.

Karakteristik Modul Endoprima Lemah
Authors: Ainurrofiqoh Dewi Ika
Published: August 2024

In this research, we studied weakly endoprime module, which is a development of weakly prime module by reviewing its fully invariant submodule. This is similar to the development of endoprime module from prime module. This primary objective of this research are to determine the relationship between weakly endoprime module and endoprime module and examine the fully invariant submodules of weakly endoprime module. The method employed in this research involves studying the relationship between weakly prime modules and prime modules, endoprime modules and prime modules, as well as weakly endoprime modules and weakly prime modules. The results obtained are that each endoprime module is a weakly endoprime module, but the converse is not necessarily true. Moreover, a fully invariant submodule of a weakly endoprime module is not necessarily a weakly endoprime module.

Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average is a statistical model designed to analyze and forecast data with that shows seasonal patterns and trends. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a machine learning-based technique that can be used to forecast time series data. SVM uses the kernel tricks to overcome non-linearity problems, whereas The SARIMA model is well-suited for data that exhibit seasonal fluctuations that repeat over time. Lombok International Airport is the main gateway to West Nusa Tenggara and has become a symbol of tourism growth in the region. Time series analysis is a very useful tool in determining patterns and forecasting the number of international arrivals at Lombok International Airport within a certain period. This study aims to compare the SARIMA model and SVM which can read non-linear patterns in the number of international arrivals at Lombok International Airport. After obtaining the SARIMA and SVM models, the two models are evaluated using test data based on the smallest RMSE value. The SVM model with a linear kernel trick provides the smallest RMSE when compared to SARIMA with SVM RMSE is 238,655. While the best model in Seasonal ARIMA is SARIMA (3,1,0)(1,0,0)12, the forecasting results show SARIMA is better in the forecasting process for the next 10 months.
Book Review: Anna Gjika, When Rape Goes Viral: Youth and Sexual Assault in the Digital Age.
Authors: Hutchins Joshua
Published: August 2024

In "When Rape Goes Viral: Youth and Sexual Assault in the Digital Age" Anna Gjika delves into the complex interplay between digital technology and the criminal justice system's handling of sexual violence, particularly among adolescents. The digital age has transformed many aspects of society, including how sexual violence is perpetrated, recorded, and prosecuted. This transformation raises critical questions about the adequacy of existing legal frameworks and the need for systemic reform to address the nuances of digital abuse effectively. Gjika’s work is pivotal as it uncovers the dual roles of digital platforms—both as tools for empowerment and instruments of victimization. The author uses a range of case studies to illustrate how digital media can both aid in bringing justice to victims and exacerbate their victimization through cyberbullying and unconsented sharing of intimate images. This scholarly analysis seeks to unpack the contributions of Gjika's work to the field of criminal justice, specifically in the context of digital harm, the inadequacies of existing legal frameworks, and the influence of gender dynamics, race, and circumstances surrounding sexual assault incidents.

Published: August 2024

Initiation rites play a pivotal role in shaping cultural identity, reinforcing societal norms, and facilitating the transmission of cultural values from one generation to the next. Using a qualitative approach which was supported by interpretive philosophy, the study explored the initiation rites of a Fiasidi which involves a series of rituals, ceremonies, and teachings that are designed to prepare young girls or women for their ritual responsibilities in serving Torgbui Adzima shrines in Klikor, Ghana. A case study was used in the research. Observations, document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and audiovisual materials were used to gather data. The opinions and experiences of fifteen (15) participants, including high priests, priestesses, ritual functionaries, petitioners, and Fiasidiwo (initiates), were sampled using the purposive sampling approach. Thematic analysis was used to do an inductive study of the data. The study revealed that three main rituals feature in the initiation rites of a Fiasidi in Klikor. These are Godedegome (puberty rite), Gatete (Fiasidi’s homecoming), and Flaxoxo (purification rite). The study concluded that the Troxovi shrines are effective in ensuring social order and discipline and promoting African indigenous knowledge and spirituality among the Anlo-Ewe communities. It recommended that other ritual performances such as performing libation, wailing wall prayers, and traditional dance forms be explored by other researchers. The study has contributed to providing insights into cultural diversity, and spiritual identity and illuminating the significance of ritual practices in various fields including social anthropology, African aesthetics, and African traditional religion.

Published: August 2024

South Africa, amidst the Fourth Industrial Revolution’s challenges, explores sustainable education intersecting with community development. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study scrutinized educational dynamics. A case study method selected three secondary schools, involving 105 learners were purposively selected for this study. The study was underpinned by the human capital theory. This theoretical framework highlights the importance of addressing systemic inequities and promoting social justice. A questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Qualitative data captured community perspectives, advocating for technology integration in education. Overcoming barriers like infrastructure and digital literacy was seen as crucial. The study findings highlighted integrating STEM education into South Africa’s curriculum, focusing on interdisciplinary strategies to nurture creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. STEAM courses were seen as a way which prepare students for the 4IR, fostering adaptability and future employment readiness. Lack of electricity, computers, and availability of computer training was revealed as one of the lacking factors among teachers in schools. Themes were drawn and discussed in relation to the research question. The study suggests assessing long-term impacts on community indicators like economic empowerment and health. The study concluded that police makers and curriculum designers may need to re-evaluate educational systems for STEAM. The study therefore recommended that it may be of great help if rigorous outcome evaluation measures of educational intervention would be effective in schools. Also, analyzing policy frameworks was recommended as essential for national development agendas, and bridging policy gaps

Coloring Outside the Lines: Teaching Graphic Medicine as Disability Studies
Authors: Fox Ann M.
Published: August 2024

The article argues for the importance of teaching undergraduate graphic medicine courses informed by disability studies. Using her experiences teaching graphic medicine classes over the last eight years, the author argues for the importance of graphic medicine courses beyond medical school curricula. This creates an opportunity not just to introduce disability studies concepts to undergraduates, but also for disability studies and graphic medicine to meaningfully illuminate each other. The article argues that framing comics through disability aesthetics and disability activism (including precepts such as access intimacy and disability justice) reveals how powerfully and consistently graphic medicine centers each. In turn, graphic medicine provides powerful opportunities to reimagine disability representation and access as aesthetics and accommodation. The article shares experiences of teaching graphic medicine, reflects on related dilemmas, and offers fruitful strategies for anyone wishing to teach graphic medicine courses informed by a disability studies approach.
Cryptic genera, cryptic species: phylogeny of the genus Philopteroides Mey, 2004, sensu lato, with descriptions of two new genera and one new species

Published: August 2024

Closely related chewing lice in the Philopterus-complex are typically morphologically homogeneous, with the most significant differences often being in the male genitalia. However, in many groups within this complex the male genitalia are reduced and lacking one or more element, with the remaining components often at least partially fused. This is not least the case in the genus Philopteroides Mey, 2004, in which the male mesosome is often reduced and other characters are largely homogeneous throughout the genus. A phylogeny of the group based on a combination of mitochondrial and nuclear genes suggests that the species presently placed in Philopteroides belong to three different clades, which do not form a monophyletic group together. We here redefine Philopteroides morphologically, and describe two of these clades as new genera: Stasiasticopterusn. gen. for the species on bulbuls, and Coronedaxn. gen. for species on monarch flycatchers. These genera can be separated from each other and from Philopteroides only by some characters of the male genitalia, but possibly also by characters of the preantennal head and female genitalia. In addition, we describe a new species of Coronedax, Coronedax longicepssp. n. and provide an overview of the morphology of the male genitalia in the three genera treated.

The genus Mongolodiaptomus is widely distributed in stagnant water bodies in Southeast Asia. During a comprehensive collection of freshwater copepods from different areas in Thailand, a previously unknown species of calanoid copepod, Mongolodiaptomus phutakaensissp. nov., was recorded. Representatives were found in a natural swamp located in the Kok Phutaka community forest in Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand. The new species belongs to the “M. loeiensis species group” and most closely resembles M. loeiensis and M. mekongensis by having a distinct shape of the second exopodal segment of the male right P5, with enlarged proximal and distal parts of the outer margin as well as a bent and twisted principal lateral spine. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by various characters in the males. The ventral surface of the right caudal ramus has two chitinous teeth and two knobs. The intercoxal plate is slightly produced distally and without any spine. The right P5 basis lacks a hyaline membrane on the inner margin but has a distinct spur-like chitinous process at the mid-distal margin on the posterior surface. The left P5 basis has a thin, longer hyaline lamella on the inner margin. The new species is rare, having been observed in only one out of approximately 5,000 surveyed locations in Thailand. A detailed morphological comparison and an up-to-date key to the Mongolodiaptomus species are presented. Their taxonomic characters, interspecies relationships, and biogeography are discussed.

Community Discovery in Complex Network Big Data
Authors: Ji Qingbin
Published: August 2024

Community structure is a topological property of complex networks, and community discovery is the foundation of community structure study. Community discovery technology could serve as an important tool to provide strong theoretical support for big data analysis, research, and application, thereby aiding people's prediction and decision-making behavior. The authors aim to provide a systematic review of the fundamental and application of community structure theory in complex network big data studies, with a particular focus on the promoting role of community discovery in specific re-search fields. This chapter mainly consists of three parts: 1) first introduced the theoretical basis of community discovery, 2) second introduced community discovery methods categorizing from technology, and 3) last introduced new tasks and application of community discovery in big data. By reading this chapter, readers should gain a comprehensive understanding of how to introduce community thinking in big data analysis and contribute to improving decision-making ability.
Fuzzy Hamacher Aggregation Functions and Their Applications to Multiple Attribute Decision Making
Authors: Tang Xiaoan
Published: August 2024

Hamacher t-norm and t-conorm have been widely applied in fuzzy multiple attribute decision making (MADM) to combine assessments on each attribute, which are generally expressed by Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy (AIF) numbers, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) numbers, hesitant fuzzy (HF) elements, and dual hesitant fuzzy (DHF) elements. Due to the fact that AIF numbers and HF elements are special cases of IVIF numbers and DHF elements, respectively, two propositions can be established from analyzing numerical examples and real cases concerning MADM with IVIF and DHF assessments in the literature: (1) the monotonicity of alternative scores derived from Hamacher arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators with respect to the parameter r in Hamacher t-norm and t-conorm and (2) the relationship between alternative scores generated by Hamacher arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators, given the same r. The authors provide the theoretical proof of the two propositions and propose a new method to compare alternatives in MADM with consideration of all possible values of r.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory gynecological disease whose pathogenesis is unclear. C-C motif chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18), a chemokine, is involved in several inflammatory diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of CCL18 in endometriosis and its underlying mechanisms. Human endometrium and peritoneal fluid were obtained from women with and without endometriosis for molecular studies. The expression level of CCL18 in each tissue sample was examined by RNA sequencing analysis, quantitative PCR analysis and immunohistochemistry staining. The effects of CCL18 on cell migration, tube formation and neurite growth were investigated in vitro using primary endometrial cells, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, respectively. Moreover, the development of endometriosis in mice was studied in vivo by blocking CCL18. CCL18 was shown to be overexpressed in endometrial foci and peritoneal fluid in women with endometriosis and was positively correlated with endometriosis pain. In vitro, CCL18 promoted the migration of ectopic endometrial cells, tube formation of HUVECs, and nerve outgrowth of DRG neurons. More importantly, inhibition of CCL18 significantly suppressed lesion development, angiogenesis, and nerve infiltration in a mouse model of endometriosis. In conclusion, CCL18 may play a role in the progression of endometriosis by increasing endometrial cell migration and promoting neuroangiogenesis.
ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE - AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE
Authors: kshitiza Airi , Akshay Pathak
Published: August 2024

Antibiotics have significantly helped treat various infectious diseases and thus reduced mortality rates around the
globe. But over time, these pathogens have become resistant to these antimicrobial agents, worsening the scenario
in life-threatening infectious diseases. Antimicrobial resistance happens when microorganisms (such as bacteria,
fungi, viruses, and parasites) change when exposed to antimicrobial drugs (such as antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, antimalarials, and anthelmintic agents). The present review study explored various Ayurvedic methods, modalities, and medicines to develop a sustainable and innovative mechanism to combat the current problem of
AMR. The Ayurvedic approach to the prevention and treatment of microbial infection recognises the emergency
use of modern drugs but recommends traditional herbal combinations and extracts known to balance the individual and improve health, as well as herbs that help to combat or prevent microbial infections. Some solutions can be
to increase the host's immunity through therapy, and proper use of Dhatupachaka Kashaya prescribed in Ayurveda
in combination with antibiotics. There is a scope for further exploration and research in this area.

Authors: Dr.Pritish Chandra Vaish
Published: August 2024

The concept of Work life balance is becoming predominantly famous among workers across industries. Work life balance is important for any worker as well as the organization in order to achieve both individual and organisational goals. The objectives of this research paper are to primarily analyse the work-life balance of working professionals, to identify family related variables that influence the work life and to access their job satisfaction. Family related variables and job satisfaction directly influence the employee contribution which in turn leads to job retention, sound mental health, increases employee motivation and morale. This research was conducted by circulating surveys among the working professions and asking questions which are linked to the objectives. A thorough literature review was also conducted where different perspectives of various researchers helped to infer results.
