Authors: Jathanna Dr. Ramya Vijeta , Jathanna Dr. Vinod Rakesh , Bangera Dr. Rithesh , Monis Prashanth Lowell
Published: November 2024

Introduction: In recent times, there has been a growing interest in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into the realm of cleft orthognathic surgery, presenting an exciting avenue for transformative innovations. These technologies offer the promise of optimizing treatment plans, facilitating surgical decision-making, and contributing to a more patient-centric approach. However, a systematic and in-depth exploration of the existing literature is essential to discern the true impact, challenges, and potential future directions of AI and ML in this specialized field. The present systematic review aimed to provide an overview of AI and ML algorithms and their applications in cleft orthognathic surgery. Methodology: A comprehensive search was conducted in databases using MeSH terms and other relevant terms including PubMed, Embase, and Scopus until January 2024. This systematic review was conducted following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: The search strategy resulted in a total of 124 articles. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 5 studies were included for final review. AI has profoundly impacted the prediction of the need for orthognathic surgeries in cleft patients using cephalometric variables with a clinically acceptable accuracy range. Also, provide guidelines to determine the amount and direction of movements of the maxilla and mandible. Conclusions: Understanding the role of AI and ML in cleft orthognathic surgery is paramount for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers alike.AI reduces the work burden of the clinician by eliminating the tedious registration procedures, thereby helping in efficient and automated planning.
Closing the Divide: How Pay Transparency Drives Progress on Gender Pay Equity
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: November 2024

Gender pay gaps persist as a stubborn workplace inequity despite decades of progress toward closing divides. As an organizational effectiveness consultant passionate about advancing fair treatment, this inconsistency struck the author as an issue warranting innovative solutions. This article explores the promising approach of mandated pay transparency policies, which require companies to publicly disclose information about employee compensation. Research indicates locations instituting disclosure rules see significant narrowing of gender pay differentials over time. Case studies of companies like Google and Anthropic also demonstrate how transparency motivates self-examination resolving subtle barriers driving differences. While challenges remain, transparency seems to cultivate accountability and merit-based cultures where qualifications alone determine rewards. As these laws continue spreading, their ability to reshape environments into ones of true equity, justice and inclusion will likely strengthen further.

Malignant Diseases Associated with COVID-19 Infection
Authors: Zhang Yongxin , Wang Ying
Published: November 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant implications for patients with malignant diseases, revealing complex interactions between viral infection and cancer. This review explores the association of COVID-19 infection with various malignant diseases, including hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Potential mechanisms underlying this association include immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and alterations in the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, the pandemic has disrupted cancer care, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment while increasing the vulnerability of cancer patients to severe COVID-19 outcomes. The review emphasizes the need for enhanced cancer care protocols, ongoing research into the long-term effects of COVID-19 on cancer progression, and support for the psychosocial needs of patients. By addressing these challenges, the healthcare community can improve patient outcomes and develop effective strategies for managing malignant diseases in the context of a global pandemic.
Seismic Resilience Assessment for Steel-concrete Composite Bridges including Impacts of Near-fault Earthquakes
Authors: Liu Yang , Lu Da-Gang , Paolacci Fabrizio , Quinci Gianluca , Vern Sourabh
Published: November 2024

This paper proposes a seismic resilience assessment method for steel-concrete composite bridges (SCCB) considering near-fault earthquake hazards. Based on conventional probabilistic seismic hazard disaggregation analysis, a correction factor is defined to represent the proportion of the occurrence probability of the near-fault pulse-like, near-fault non-pulse-like and far-field earthquake conditioned on a given intensity level concerning the total occurrence probability of all earthquakes. The parameters of functionality recovery functions are modified using the factor proposed, and then the restoration processes after each type of earthquake are estimated. Correspondingly, vulnerabilities of a typical SCCB under near-fault and far-field earthquakes are developed as a case study. Based on the seismic hazard and fragility results, the seismic risk for each type of earthquake in a 50-year horizon is estimated. After that, the modified functionality recovery function is derived from the expected functionality. For implementation of the method proposed, the expected seismic resilience indices of a typical SCCB involved in the SEQBRI project are estimated, and the seismic resilience assessment is conducted. For comparison analysis, the seismic resilience assessment without considering earthquake type is also conducted using the same bridge. The result shows that the seismic resilience of bridges in near-fault earthquake scenarios can be analyzed by the method proposed, and reducing the structural vulnerability under low-intensity level earthquakes and improving the structural recovery efficiency for slight and moderate damage states are more meaningful to enhance the seismic resilience of bridges.
God Bless the Grass”: The Environmental Songs of Malvina Reynolds
Authors: Livingstone David
Published: November 2024

The American folk singer and activist Malvina Reynolds (1900-1978) was truly instrumental in spreading awareness of environmental and ecological issues through her songs. Reynolds only began composing in her forties and performing in her fifties, but soon made a name for herself, starting in the early 1960s, with her topical protest songs touching on a range of issues, most notably the environment. Her compositions have been covered and popularized by folk and pop giants such as Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Harry Belafonte and many others. This paper will focus on her most well-known ecological songs: God Bless the Grass, What Have They Done to the Rain, Little Boxes, etc. With her white hair and granny glasses, Reynolds did not at all fit the image of the beatnik folk singer of the 1950s or the hippie movement which followed. She did, however, pioneer the embracing of environmental protection as an important theme in folk music and popular culture in general.
Best Kept Secret: The Conspiracy of Silence in Mahesh Dattani’s Thirty Days in September
Authors: Roy Debartha
Published: November 2024

This article explores the nuanced dimensions of silence, examining its physical, psychological, and textual manifestations in Mahesh Dattani’s play “Thirty Days in September,” addressing the sensitive theme of child sexual abuse (CSA). It delves into the multifaceted roles of silence as a mechanism for psychological resistance, repression, suppression, and avoidance in the lives of CSA survivors, particularly portrayed through the characters of Shanta and Mala. The article also explores the symbolic presence of God as a silent refuge and the intentional use of authorial license to veil characters’ voices, highlighting the complexities of familial dynamics, societal expectations, and the pervasive silence surrounding CSA, emphasizing the challenges faced by victims in articulating their experiences. Furthermore, it delves into the psychological impact of repression and suppression on CSA survivors, detailing the intricate interplay between memory recall, dissociation, and the difficulties survivors encounter in acknowledging and confronting their traumatic past. The narrative of the play is dissected to reveal instances of silence as a coping mechanism, as well as the role of shame, secrecy, and power dynamics within familial contexts. The portrayal of God as a silent presence becomes a symbolic sacred space for characters to express and confront suppressed aspects of their harrowing experiences
Writing Draupadi: Politics and Poetics of Myth in Modern South Asian Literature
Authors: Phuyal Komal Prasad
Published: November 2024

Modern South Asian literature celebrates Draupadi as one of the key icons that helps explore the embedded tenets of thoughts about self, history, and polity. Human beings make meaning of their endeavours in the political setup of historical context by placing self-therein. Bengali novelist Mahasweta Devi (1926-2016), Oriya novelist Pratibha Ray (1943-), and Nepali novelist Neelam Karki (1975-) rewrite Draupadi’s myth from the Mahabharata in “Draupadi” (1978), Yajnaseni (1984), and Cheerharan [Disrobing] (2016) respectively. Each of the woman authors addresses the formation of a woman’s self at a particular historical juncture in their society. Devi’s rebel self emerges from prevailing discrimination in Bengali society where the Mundas were socially and politically pushed to the margin. Ray broadly reflects on the plight of women in her contemporary society where they have lost independence to the dictations of society upon their self as they have no freedom of choice. Narrated in an epistolatory form addressing Krishna as her spiritual companion, Ray’s Draupadi reveals the vibes of her inner heart and her intimate observations about the world and the people. In Karki’s Cheerharan, Draupadi organises a programme to bring four generations of women together: Satyavati from the first generation; Ambika and Ambalika from the second generation; Gandhari and Kunti from the third generation; and Draupadi, Ulupi, and Bhanumati from the fourth generation. Though each generation narrates its story to the audience in the programme, this study will focus on Draupadi’s narration only. Devi, Ray, and Karki employ Draupadi as one of the power narratives to explore a new meaning in the changing context of their society. The woman authors reframe Draupadi’s myth in different ways to suit the ethos of Bengal in the 1970s, Odisha in the late 1970s, and Nepal after the second people’s movement in 2006. Each author invents a unique way of framing the narrative to address the inequalities in power structures in their societies. This paper contextually reads the three texts to examine the goal of writing Draupadi in modern South Asian fiction.
Progressivism, Modernity and Decadence: A Study of Select Works of Ahmed Ali
Authors: Sarkar Olivia
Published: November 2024

The modernity of the progressive writers has long borne the blame for being indebted to the Western trends of modernist thoughts. This article engages in challenging this notion by tracing the roots of Islamic modernity to the qasbati tradition of medieval eastern culture and its residual traces in 18th and 19th century India. The pre-Renaissance Muslim cultures in the Middle East and South Asia during the Caliphate rulers had a high intellectual heritage which propagated to India during the Mughals and concentrated within the qasbahs, thus resulting in the formation of a unique literary and cultural tradition. This dissertation shall argue with substantial historical evidence from Muslim literary history since the medieval era, that the modernity of the Progressive writers was not necessarily a Western import in colonial India rather it is rooted in a vibrant intellectual and cultural tradition propagated through generations in the qasbahs. In the process, it also aims to understand ‘modernity’ as a dynamic and allencompassing state of intellectual understanding. Taking up select works of Ahmed Ali, this article attempts to substantiate the claim that progressive modernity is unique and is characterised by an attitude of assertion (of their own social values), interrogation and selective participation (in the new system), as manifested in the life and culture of the qasbati tradition.

IMPACTOS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS DOS PRODUTOS FLORESTAIS NÃO-MADEIREIROS: ESTUDOS DE CASO DA AMAZÔNIA BRASILEIRA
Authors: De Moçambique Universidade Católica
Published: November 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar os resultados da pesquisa de campo realizada em comunidades locais nos municípios de Salvaterra, Bragança e Breves, localizados no estado do Pará, na região Norte do Brasil. O objeto de análise está relacionado à cadeia de produção de sementes oleaginosas obtidas através da atividade de extração. As sementes oleaginosas são andiroba, murumuru, pracaxi, tucumã e ucuúba. São os produtos florestais não madeireiros (PFNMs) utilizados como insumos nas indústrias de alimentos e de cosméticos. O artigo também investiga o impacto da atividade extrativista na geração de renda, desenvolvimento local e externalidades ambientais locais causados por incentivos de mercado. A questão de pesquisa diz respeito à possibilidade de incentivos de mercado, através da coleta de sementes oleaginosas, em promover sinergias entre as diferentes atividades geradoras de renda (agricultura e extração). A hipótese deste trabalho é que é possível ir além do trade-off entre os ganhos de bem estar e a preservação do meio ambiente e, assim, contribuir para o uso racional dos chamados recursos de uso comum (RUCs). Três pesquisas de campo foram executados em 2014 - janeiro, março e julho - em três diferentes municípios no estado do Pará. Dados quantitativos e qualitativos foram coletados por meio de questionários semiestruturados aplicados junto às comunidades locais.
This article is aimed at presenting the results of the fieldwork research conducted within local communities in the municipalities of Salvaterra, Bragança e Breves, which are located in the state of Pará in the Northern part of Brazil. The object of analysis is the production chain of oleaginous seeds obtained through the extraction activity. The oleaginous seeds are andiroba, murumuru, pracaxí, tucumã and ucuúba. These are the non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and are used as inputs in the processing food and cosmetics industries. This research also investigates the impact of the extractive activity on income generation, local development and local environmental externalities caused by market incentives. The research question concerns the possibility of market incentives through the collection of oleaginous seeds to promote synergies between different income generating activities (agriculture and extraction). The hypothesis of this work is that it is possible to go beyond the trade-off between welfare gains and the preservation of the environment, and thus contribute to the rational use of the common-pool resources (CPRs). Three field researches have been executed in 2014 – January, March and July - within three different municipalities in the state of Pará. Both quantitative and qualitative data have been collected through surveys conducted among local households.

Anti-hero, Anti-drama and Surreal ——On the Poetic Presentation of Jia Zhangke's Films
Authors: Shu Bo , Wang Rui
Published: November 2024

Jia Zhangke, a prominent figure among the sixth generation of directors, is known for his works that embody strong poetic aesthetic qualities. His films are rooted in realistic documentation, while poetic expression serves as the hallmark of his cinematic style. This paper aims to analyze and synthesize the methods of poetic depiction employed in Jia Zhangke's oeuvre. Through meticulous film screenings and literature reviews, several recurring features have been identified. Firstly, his narratives often revolve around anti-heroic, marginal characters, observing the lives of various beings amidst shifting times. Secondly, he eschews the conventional "four-act" narrative structure, exhibiting an anti-dramatic tendency, and employs block narration. By steering away from suspenseful plot devices and softening the logical coherence of his film stories, he cultivates a poetic narrative akin to prose poetry. Lastly, Jia Zhangke incorporates open-ended conclusions and surreal scenes laden with poetic metaphors into his films, thereby constructing narratives with symbolic implications. This approach elicits empathy from viewers, imbuing Jia Zhangke's films with a profound sense of poetry and offering inspiration for filmmakers seeking to incorporate poetic elements into their creations.
The Interrelated Effects between College Students' Subjective Well-being and Self-efficacy
Authors: Wu Yundong , Kong Weijian
Published: November 2024

General self-efficacy refers to the overall level of confidence held by an individual in the face of various challenges or new situations. Previous research has revealed that general self-efficacy is strongly associated with an individual's mental health states, such as anxiety and depression. General self-efficacy was significantly and negatively correlated with trait anxiety, test anxiety, and state anxiety, as well as with depression[3] . On the other hand, subjective well-being is an individual's overall evaluation of the quality of life based on his or her own criteria, and it is regarded as an important psychological indicator of the quality of life of individuals and society, which can reflect the quality of life of individuals in society.
Digital Financial Inclusion and Inclusive Growth ––Empirical evidence based on the China Household Panel Survey
Authors: Mao Hanting
Published: November 2024

As an innovation in traditional inclusive finance, digital inclusive finance is an important way to coordinate the income gap between urban and rural areas, popularize financial products and services, and promote the digitalization process. Therefore, this study matches the digital inclusive finance index with the Chinese household tracking survey, uses a panel data econometric model, a mediation effect model, and a moderation effect model to control for the characteristics of heads of households and families, and explores the impact mechanism of the development of digital inclusive finance on inclusive growth in urban and rural areas in China, with a view to providing a scientific basis and policy suggestions for promoting inclusive growth. The study finds that: First, digital inclusive finance has a significant income-increasing effect on both urban and rural households, among which it has a greater impact on rural households, which is conducive to narrowing the income gap between urban and rural areas; Second, digital inclusive finance improves rural household income and narrows the income gap between urban and rural areas by promoting rural household entrepreneurship and business activities and alleviating the formal credit constraints of rural households; Third, digital inclusive finance can generally promote families with access to the Internet, a strong ability to use digital tools, and small information constraints to start businesses and obtain formal credit. This study innovatively incorporates entrepreneurial quality into the research of the transmission mechanism; three theories of the "digital divide" are put forward and tested. Research value: Clarifying the transmission mechanism of digital inclusive finance to promote inclusive growth, and providing policy suggestions for the development of digital inclusive finance.
Innovative Single-Port Approach for Simultaneous Ventral Hernia Repair and Bariatric Surgery: A Retrospective Case Series Study (March 2020 - July 2023)
Authors: Alzahrani Dr. Fadhel Dhaifallah
Published: November 2024

Background: This retrospective case series study explores the outcomes of single-port bariatric surgery (BS) with ventral hernia repair (VHR) in a simultaneous setting. Through a novel single-port laparoscopic approach, this research emphasizes on operative details, patient selection criteria, and the innovative nature of the technique when repairing ventral hernia in bariatric surgeries. Methods: The research was conducted from February 2021-February 2023 at Al-Noor Specialists Hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Six patients (5 females and 1 male) underwent simultaneous repair of ventral hernia alongside bariatric surgery through a single-port laparoscopic approach. Results: The study evaluates demographic data, pre-operative parameters, surgical approach, post-operative complications, and post-operative follow-up durations to provide comprehensive insights. Results show the average age of the respondents: 40.5 ± 9.44 years, with a mean BMI of 47 ± 8.25 kg/m2. At post-operative stage, the hospital stay was 48 hours for 50% patients with a mean follow-up duration; 13 ± 3.29 months. At post-surgery, the observed mean weight loss; 33.67 ± 6.66 kg, and the mean excess weight loss was 29.60 ± 5.30%. None of the post-operative complications were reported at the follow-up stage, except minimal seroma. Conclusion: The simultaneous single-port BS and VHR approach provides surgical benefits with lowered complication rates, surgical weight loss, and lesser recurrence of ventral hernia. Single-port bariatric laparoscopy is efficient in treating obese patients. However, further research must advocate for and establish long-term outcomes and broader application of this procedure.
POTRAGA ZA PRAVDOM - PROBLEMI NEPROCESUIRANJA RATNIH ZLOČINA POČINJENIH BOŠNJACIMA 1992-1995.
Authors: Kuka Ermin
Published: November 2024

Ratni zločini predstavljaju teška kršenja međunarodnog humanitarnog prava koje počine zaraćene strane u vrijeme oružanih sukoba. Različite vrste ratnih zločina dobile su svoje teorijsko određenje i definiranje u brojnim međunarodnim dokumentima, konvencijama. Na taj način, one su kodificirane i postavljena je pravna i civilizacijska osnova za njihovo adekvatno sudsko procesuiranje. U vrijeme agresije na Republiku Bosnu i Hercegovinu u razdoblju od 1992. do 1995. godine počinjeni su brojni oblici ratnih zločina, pretežno nad Bošnjacima, uključujući i zločin genocida. Gotovo kompletno političko i vojno rukovodstvo entiteta RS je presuđeno pred Haškim tribunalom za počinjenje ratnih zločina nad Bošnjacima. Haški tribunal je dao veliki doprinos, ne samo u procesuiranju, već i u dokumentiranju počinjenih zločina nad Bošnjacima u vremenu agresije. Tribunal je 2004. godine izvršio prenos predmeta koje je okarakterizirao kao “A“ - lista na Tužilastvo i Sud Bosne i Hercegovine i niže sudske instance. Međutim, praksa je pokazala da su u tom povjerenom poslu, i pored niza dostavljenih dokaznih osnova za podizanje optužnica, zakazale sudske instance u Bosni i Hercegovini. Primarno, državni Sud i Tužilastvo. Već niz godina Bosna i Hercegovina se suočava s problemom neprocesuiranja ili nedostatnog procesuiranja predmeta ratnih zločina. Posebno se ta činjenica odnosi na bivše pripadnike tzv. VRS, a za koje je Haški tribunal pribavio dovoljno dokaza za podizanje optužnica. U posljednje vrijeme je na sceni procesuiranje onih koji su branili svoju drzavu, porodice, imetak, a to su bivši pripadnici Armije Republike Bosne i Hercegovine. Posebno izražen problem jeste neprocesuiranje agresora koji su pod visegodišnjom opsadom držali gradove Sarajevo, Bihać, Goražde. Nisu, u dovoljnoj mjeri, iskorištene niti mogućnosti popunjavanja stručnim i tužilačkim kadrom tužilaštava i MUP-ova, posebno u entitetu Federacija Bosne i Hercegovine, a što se odrazilo na broj podignutih optužnica protiv bivših pripadnika tzv. VRS, a za koje je Haški tribunal pribavio dovoljno dokaza za podizanje optužnica. Kroz analizu studija slučaja gradova Sarajevo, Bihać i Goražde prezentirat će se konkretni indikatori pogubnosti neprocesuiranja ratnih zločina počinjenih primarno nad Bošnjacima u Republici Bosni i Hercegovini od 1992. do 1995. godine.
IZDAJA ILI POKRETAČ? SARAJEVSKI ATENTAT U HISTORIJSKOJ PERSPEKTIVI
Authors: Miller Melamed Paul
Published: November 2024

Fokus ovog rada je na međuzavisnosti između kratkoročnog ljudskog faktora i nepredviđenih situacija, kao i dugoročnih implikacija u razumijevanju početka Prvog svjetskog rata. Konkretno, istražuje "varnicu" koja je pokrenula rat - atentat u Sarajevu, u smislu kako se on zaista dogodio, kako se obično predstavlja (od strane akademika i drugih popularnih pisaca) i kako su ga u to vrijeme doživljavali šira javnost i visokopozicionirani dužnosnici. Kao u svojoj nedavno objavljenoj knjizi "Neispaljeni hitac: Atentat u Sarajevu i vijugava cesta prema Prvom svjetskom ratu" (Oxford University Press, 2022), autor je stava da je naše viđenje političkog ubojstva Franca Ferdinanda definirano, ili preciznije mitologizirano, na način da strukturalni uzroci Prvog svjetskog rata često bacaju sjenu na odlučujuću ulogu pojedinačnog ljudskog djelovanja.
PRISTANIŠTE SUTORINA U OSMANSKIM DOKUMENTIMA U XIX STOLJEĆU
Authors: Demir Emir
Published: November 2024

Osmansko carstvo je od 1851. godine intenziviralo aktivnosti na podizanju zdravstvenih ustanova i pratećih objekata u cijeloj Rumeliji, a time i u Sutorini, koja je pored Klek-Neuma, predstavljala drugi bosanskohercegovački izlaz na more. Već 1859. godine, nakon završetka pobune, donosi se odluka o gradnji novog karantina i puta do njega. U sljedećoj dekadi je razmatrano da se u Sutorini izgradi dosta jače vojno uporište. 1864. godine karantin biva obnovljen, a naredne godine po prvi put se kao upravnik karantina spominje Rifat efendija. Inače, kao i na Kleku-Neumu, u Sutorini su osim vojnih formacija redovno službovali upravnik karantina, policajci i stražari. U decembru 1869. godine konačno je dovršena gradnja novog karantina, kao što je intenzivirana izgradnja i fortifikacijskih objekata na širem području Sutorine. Naredne godine u Trebinjskom kadiluku i pripadajućoj nahiji Sutorina sprovode se reforme u cilju efikasnije naplate zaostalih i dolazećih poreznih obaveza. Brzim razvojem događaja, već u oktobru 1870. godine osmanska vojska, koja je bila stacionirana u novim objektima, povlaći se prema Trebinju. U isto vrijeme, stanovnici sa susjedne austrijske teritorije, odnosno graničnog sela Mokrine, zajedno sa nekim domaćim podanicima devastiraju vojno utvrđenje-kulu u Kruševicama. U konačnici, u Sutorini su bili izgradeni karantin sa ambulantom, jedna kasarna i policijske karaule. Sve ove činjenice su sadržane u dvadeset šest prezentiranih dokumenata kojima se ovaj rad bavi.
AJAS PAŠIN VAKUF U VISOKOM
Authors: Arnautović Dženana
Published: November 2024

Ajas, sin Abdulhajjev, bosanski, hercegovački i ćustendilski sandžakbeg, paša, vojskovođa i vakif, ostavio je Visokom i Sarajevu značajan vakuf o čemu svjedoči vakufnama iz 1477. godine. Vakufnama je napisana u Sarajevu u periodu od 23.6. do 2.7. Original je vakufname izgubljen, ali su sačuvana dva zvanična i jedan privatni prepis. Na osnovu podataka iz vakufname moguće je zaključiti da prve konture naselja osmanskog tipa Visoko dobija prije 1477. godine angažovanjem Ajas-paše koji je podigao jedan hamam, most na rijeci Bosni i nekoliko dućana. Do kraja treće decenije 16. stoljeca podignuta je i tekija, prva džamija i mekteb. Radi se o kompleksu građevinskih objekata koji su imali privredni, komunikacioni i humanitarno- prosvjetni karakter koje je Ajas-paša dao podići u vidu svoje zadužbine, a koji će predstavljati početno jezgro, privredni centar novog naselja koji se formira na prostoru srednjovjekovnog trga. Spomen džamije pod imenom Ajas-pašina nalazimo 1704. godine nakon što ju je srušio Eugen Savojski tokom svog pohoda na Bosnu. Nove mahale, kao dio urbanog razvoja naselja, nose imena utemeljivača zadužbina. U tom kontekstu razlikujemo i Mahalu zavije Ajas-paše koja je brojala 69 domaćinstava. Glavni visočki vakif podigao je zadužbine za dobrobit svih ljudi, međutim sve su nestale i nikada nisu obnovljene. Na ovog bosanskog pašu danas nas podsjećaju samo poneki sačuvani dokument i vakufnama.
Fixed-Parameter Algorithms for Computing Bend-Restricted RAC Drawings of Graphs
Authors: Brand Cornelius , Ganian Robert , Röder Sebastian , Schager Florian
Published: November 2024

In a right-angle crossing (RAC) drawing of a graph, each edge is represented as a polyline and edge crossings must occur at an angle of exactly $90^\circ$, where the number of bends on such polylines is typically restricted in some way.
While structural and topological properties of RAC drawings have been the focus of extensive research and particular attention has been paid to RAC drawings with at most $0$, $1$, $2$ and $3$ bends per edge, little was known about the boundaries of tractability for computing such drawings.
In this paper, we initiate the study of bend-restricted RAC drawings from the viewpoint of parameterized complexity. In particular, we establish that computing a RAC drawing of an input graph $G$ with at most $b$ bends where each edge $e$ has a prescribed upper-bound $0\leq \beta(e) \leq 3$ on the number of bends it can support (or determining that none exists) is:

fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by the feedback edge number of $G$, and
fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by $b$ plus the vertex cover number of $G$.
Method of District Heating Tariff Benchmarks
Authors:   , Sarma Uģis
Published: November 2024

In the Thesis, a thermal energy tariff benchmark method and principles for its practical use were developed. The method is based on the generation of a virtual DH market by using the Monte Carlo imitation model, which is based on the results of analyses of actual data of DH companies. By using the method, the DH industry could be aligned with the market principles and its regulation could be decoupled from various short-term interests. Thus, it would balance the interests of DH companies with the needs of consumers and the transformation of the industry towards climate neutrality. Users of the method could be Regulators and industry policymakers in countries where DH plays a key role in energy supply.

As Redes Neurais Artificiais (RNA.s) são úteis para a previsão com relevante grau de acerto, utilizando da inteligência artificial para modelos lineares e não lineares. Este estudo concentrou-se na realização de previsões dos valores de ações das empresas de carnes e derivados listadas na B3 utilizando séries de dados históricos dessas ações e variáveis econômicas que podem influenciar sua valoração. Examinando os dados das quatros empresas no período de janeiro de 2022 a dezembro de 2023 e utilizando uma RNA Perceptron Multicamadas foi treinada para prever o valor de ações tendo como variáveis independentes a taxa SELIC, o índice Dow Jones (DJIA), O Índice de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo (IPCA) e o Índice Bovespa. No treinamento da RNA, o Erro Porcentual Médio foi de 12,7%, sendo que o menor erro encontrado foi da Mafrig Global Foods S/A (6,6%) e o maior da Minerva S/A. A taxa SELIC, com 38,2% foi a variável dependente com maior contribuição para a construção do modelo, já a variável índice Bovespa com 12,5% apresentou a menor contribuição para a estimação da RNA. A RNA após treinada e testada foi utilizada para a previsão dos valores das quatro ações para os dias 7, 14, 21 e 28 de janeiro de 2024, que comparados com os valores observados nesses mesmos dias apresentou um excelente erro médio de 2,1%. Sugere-se novos estudos com a utilização de modelos de previsão tradicionais para avaliar a capacidade preditiva das RNAs com tais modelos.

The Multifaceted Soils of Himachal Pradesh, India: Types and Characteristics
Authors: Shubham  , Rao Aashi , Kaushal Shilpa
Published: November 2024

The soils of Himachal Pradesh face a multitude of pressing issues that threaten their health and agricultural productivity. The diverse geographical features, temperature regimes and biological zones of Himachal Pradesh have resulted into a vast range of soil types in the state. Alpine, forest, alluvial and sub-mountain soils are the four major soil categories into which the state's soils can be generally divided. Only a particular species and adapted plants can thrive in the extreme weather circumstances of alpine soils, which are located at higher elevations and possess soils having thin, stony and acidic in reaction. The mid-hill areas are dominated by forest soils which are distinguished by their high levels of organic matter and nutrients. These soils support luxuriant vegetation and make effective agricultural methods possible. Alluvial soils, which are mostly found in river valleys and are deposited by ravine systems are extremely rich and perfect in fertility and suitable for growing a range of crops including vegetables, rice and maize. Located in the foothills, sub-mountain soil exhibits a blend of traits from alluvial and forest soils, thus providing a range of uses for horticulture and agriculture. In addition to supporting a diverse array of plant and animal life, Himachal Pradesh's varied soil types are vital to the region's agricultural economy. One of the biggest problems is soil erosion, which is made worse by the steep terrain and abundant rainfall in the area. This results in the loss of topsoil and decreased fertility. Deforestation, overgrazing, and unsustainable farming methods all contribute to land degradation, which further reduces biodiversity and soil quality. Furthermore, crop development is impacted by soil acidity in high-altitude regions, which restricts nutrient availability. However, these issues need efficient conservation measures and soil management techniques. In order to maintain Himachal Pradesh's rich biodiversity and agricultural potential for future generations, sustainable agricultural development and environmental protection in this ecologically sensitive area depend on an understanding of the complex soil dynamics. Addressing these interconnected issues requires a comprehensive approach, emphasizing sustainable land management practices, community engagement, and restoration efforts to preserve the vital soil resources of this ecologically sensitive region.

The present study was conducted in North Eastern dry Zone of Karnataka which falls under semi arid tropic region. The study is based on primary data obtained from 45 water sellers and 45 water buyer farmers through snow ball sampling techniques. The data collected were analysed by using descriptive statistics and Garret ranking method. The cost of irrigation was calculated by employing amortization technique. The findings revealed that there were mainly two methods of transactions that could be seen in the groundwater markets in the study area viz., cash payment and crop share/ kind method. It is also found that relationship between water sellers and water buyers among the sample farmers in the study area. The percentage of neighbourers in the total transaction of groundwater marketing was 55.23 and relatives constituted 26.66 per cent, and the percentage of friends was 21.11. The water price or rents varied with type crops grown by water buyers (₹7848.06, ₹2240, ₹1950 and ₹2350 for paddy, groundnut, pigeon pea and cotton, respectively.) per acre in the study area. High water charges, lack of money to pay for water rent, unable to get water timely, etc were the major constraints of water buyer farmers and difficulty in fixing the price or rent for groundwater, delaying in payment of groundwater by water buyers, irregular power supply in rural area were the major constraints faced by water seller farmers in the study area. Therefore, Government and Agricultural extension institutions should educate the farmers about the pros and cons of over exploitation of groundwater not only for present generation and but also on future generation.

Medicinal and aromatic crops play a pivotal role in the socio-cultural, economic, spiritual and health dimensions of India's rural population and have become an integral part of our culture and rituals. Karnataka is a major repository of aromatic and medicinal treasures of the country. The demand for aromatic plants in India surpasses the available supply, prompting the widespread commercial cultivation of major aromatic crops in various regions. Among these, scented geranium emerges as a vital perennial aromatic, cultivated for its leaves imbued with a captivating rose fragrance. The aromatic oil of scented geranium is increasingly replacing traditional rose oil and identified as one of the top 20 essential oils traded globally. The present study aims to identify challenges in cultivation, processing and marketing aspects of scented geranium in Northern Karnataka. Considering the area and concentration of scented geranium in the state, Belagavi district is purposively selected for the study. Primary data was collected through personnel interview of randomly selected geranium growers. The major challenges faced by the farmers in the production, processing and marketing aspects of scented geranium were analysed and prioritized through Garett ranking technique. Analysis of the data revealed that in production, high cost of planting material, lack of high yielding varieties and high wage rates, high cost of inputs and sensitivity of crop to heavy rains were identified as top five constraints. Whereas, in processing, significant hurdles were high working capital requirement, high capital investment in installation distillation unit and insufficient knowledge on operation of distillation units, low oil recovery and lack of efficient processing equipment. In marketing aspects, high price fluctuation, lack of marketing information and lack of competition in the market, non-existence of local market and lack of adequate demand in nearby area were identified as major challenges in the study area. Educating farmers in nursery management and implementing mechanization techniques, particularly for harvesting, are crucial for enhancing productivity and profitability. Additionally, training on proper storage and transportation practices is essential to maintain the quality of volatile essential oils. This comprehensive strategy promotes sustainable and economically viable cultivation of scented geraniums in the region.

Published: November 2024

Local people have both positive and negative attitudes towards ecotourism. It is because they are the beneficiaries of ecotourism, though they are sometimes the victims of its activities. Expression of the residents’ perception depends on multiple drivers. This study assesses the drivers influencing local peoples’ perception of the impacts of ecotourism in Satchari National Park (SNP) - a biodiversity rich forest protected area and famous ecotourism spot in Bangladesh. Interview surveys on local people of purposely selected four villages in and around SNP supplemented by the questionnaire were conducted from September to October 2022. This study reveals that socio-cultural aspects secured higher ranks by processing higher mean values, which follow economic and environmental elements. It was also found that local people’s attitudes towards ecotourism vary with the variation in education, occupation, and income. Policymakers and forest department officials should take the necessary actions to solve the negative impacts of ecotourism. The negative impacts of ecotourism were ‘increased noise pollution and waste’ and ‘overcrowding’.
