Authors: Qazza Ahmad , Abdoon Mohamed , Saadeh Rania , Berir Mohammed
Published: April 2023

The subject of this study is the solution of a fractional Bernoulli equation and a chaotic system by using a novel scheme for the fractional derivative and comparison of approximate and exact solutions. It is found that the suggested method produces solutions that are identical to the exact solution. We can therefore generalize the strategy to different systems to get more accurate results. We think that the novel fractional derivative scheme that has been offered and the algorithm that has been suggested will be utilized in the future to construct and simulate a variety of fractional models that can be used to solve more difficult physics and engineering challenges.

Published: April 2023

. Let G be a connected graph. A set S ⊆ V (G) is an outer-connected 2-resolving hop dominating set of G if S is a 2-resolving hop dominating set of G and S = V (G) or the subgraph ⟨V (G)\S⟩ induced by V (G)\S is connected. The outer-connected 2-resolving hop domination number of G, denoted by γ^c2Rh(G) is the smallest cardinality of an outer-connected 2-resolving hop dominating set of G. This study aims to combine the concept of outer-connected hop domination with the 2-resolving hop dominating sets of graphs. The main results generated in this study include the characterization of outer-connected 2-resolving hop dominating sets in the join, corona, edge corona and lexicographic product of graphs, as well as their corresponding bounds or exact values.
BLOWING ON THE WOUND: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY ON NON-FICTION LITERARY GENRE; A MEMOIR, I AM MALALA (2013)
Authors: ERYAZICI Serap Melek
Published: April 2023

Memoir which is one of the most common genre in the literary field has a special place in terms of presenting historical and social facts. A memoir is not the history itself but one of the aiding tools to understand history. This particular genre primarily focuses on the events and the phenomena that leaves traces in a personal account. It sheds light on historians, researchers and to those who contribute studies on psychosocial and socio-political issues. Most importantly, it makes the facts remembered for all times. In this regard, the purpose of this particular study is to explore how memoir as a literary non-fiction genre promotes sustainable awareness of gender-based injustice against women as presented in I am Malala (2013) by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb. It is widely acknowledged that patriarchy and dominant masculine perception of gender norms have institutionalized power over women in many parts of the world. Much research on global gender-based inequalities has shed light on the particular effects and bitter consequences of applied dogmatic socio-political sanctions against women's rights. Among the most important factors for female gender role trauma can be shown as the violation of rights and freedom due to the lack of legal protection. To view how gender-based injustice is produced and justified as two critical means of power, one should highlight the domains of ideology and power dynamics. Especially in South Asia countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan, government policies impose ideological constraints on women's rights. In this regard, literary analysis is an effective way to create universal awareness of the destructive effects of patriarchal hegemony, sex bias, and stereotypical labeling. As this genre suggests, the memoirs collected in the book constitute a work of high significance that reflects the effects of gender discrimination via historical events and promotes universal awareness. Thus, the study will carry out qualitative research by focusing on the published book as the main source. Supported by secondary sources, the findings of the study draw out the fact that memoir plays a pivotal role and is a powerful agent in dealing with gender-based injustice issues and a key to universalize international awareness on gender development.

Published: April 2023

The paper is about the scientific category "social management". A number of derived theoretical and methodological problems regarding the essence of the category are formed. Differences between the interpretation of the general categories "management" and "managing" are given. Various definitions of the studied term are presented. The fact of terminological uncertainty and absence of a universal scientific approach to the interdisciplinary research object "social management" is noted, which is due to the polycomprehensiveness and certain uncertainty of the structural components. The author made an attempt to form a universal definition of the category "social management", which is based on a combination of two main aspects: management of social systems in combination with solving social problems. Various aspects of management of social systems (enterprises, organizations, collectives) and peculiarities of the researched category are presented. The general scientific principles and ideas formed by management classics: F. Taylor, H. Fayol, H. Emerson, are summarized. The role of the team as a kind of stabilizer in the process of enterprises and organizations functioning is analyzed, and various shortcomings in its evaluation are given. The fact of an integrated approach in forming methodological core, which synthesizes three interrelated paradigms: managerial, psychological, social and economic, is established. A number of specialized theories are singled out: the system theory of the firm, the theory of social action, and the theory of service state. Attention is focused on the methodology of the system theory of the firm, which is characterized by a certain fragmentation, different research subjects in the main areas: the processes of forming and implementing management decisions, the search for key factors of the firm's market success (strategic theory), concentration on the problems of the production sphere. A number of specific features of social management are given. It was concluded that modern management is primarily socially oriented.

Due to insufficient pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic data, off-label medication usage in children is commonly observed. It might result in Drug Related Problems (DRPs) that could lead to morbidity in youngsters. In one of West Nusa Tenggara Province's public hospitals, this study sought to gain a general understanding of pediatric patients between the ages of 4 and 14 who were using off-label medications. Retrospective descriptive methodology is used in this investigation. For each of the following categories: age, indication, contraindication, dosage, and method of administration, the percentage of off-label drug use was calculatedbased on medical records and literature reviews. Out of 302 medications prescribed to outpatients, 14 (4.63%) and 5 (1.65%) were off-label for the patient's age, and indication categories were determined.Regarding inpatients, out of 369 medicines, the categories for age, indication, and dose, respectively, indicated 7.85% (29), 1.08% (4), and 2.43% (9) off-labels. Both pediatric inpatient and outpatient patients were found to be using drugs off-label. To ascertain the impact of off-label pharmacological advantages on the efficacy of drug therapy, more research is required.

Published: April 2023

There are various types of business entities in Indonesia, namely divided into non-legal entities and legal entities. One of which frequently chosen by the business actor is a limited liability company (PT) due to its limited liability which only need to provide a capital that has separate assets between private ownership and the company. To establish a Limited Liability Company, the Company will need a Capital Deposit to run the business. Usually, the capital is paid in cash. The research aims to determine whether the capital deposit required to establish a limited liability company can be paid using a method other than Cash. The research is using a normative legal research by using statute and library approach. The research findings reveal that according to Article 34 paragraph (1), the capital deposit can be made in Cash and/or other forms. It means if the Capital Deposit, which is paid in other forms, can be valued in money, and accepted, as well as approved, by the Company’s founders. Payment of shares in securities must be announced, at least, in 1 (one) newspaper or more within 14 (fourteen) days after the deed of establishment is signed or after the General Meeting of Shareholders decides on the payment of shares.

Soil Test Crop Response based fertilizer prescription equations for desired yield target of rainfed maize were developed under Integrated Plant Nutrition System (STCR-IPNS) on Irugur soil series (Typic Ustropept) of Tamil Nadu. On farm testing of fertilizer prescription equations are essential to demonstrate the effectiveness of technology delivery to the stake holders in need. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the targeted yield model through field experiments at six locations in Dindigul district, Western Zone of Tamil Nadu. The treatments included control, blanket recommendation, soil test crop response (STCR) based fertilizer dose for the yield targets of 4.0 to 6.0 t ha-1 , STCR-IPNS based fertilizer dose for the yield targets of 4.0 to 6.0 t ha-1 and farmer’s practice. In all the six locations, the per cent achievement of the targeted yield was within  10 per cent variation proving the validity of the equations for prescribing integrated fertilizer doses for rainfed maize. The highest mean grain yield was recorded in STCR-IPNS – 6.0 t ha-1 (5013 kg ha-1 ) recording an increase of 52.2 per cent over blanket recommendation. The highest per cent achievement, response ratio and B:C ratio of 97.2,17.47 and 2.28, respectively were recorded in the yield target of 5.0 t ha-1 under STCR-IPNS. The post-harvest soil available NPK indicated the build up and maintenance of soil fertility due to soil test based fertilizer recommendation under IPNS. The fertilizer prescription equations developed for rainfed maize under IPNS can be recommended for red non calcareous soils of Tamil Nadu for achieving the yield target of 5.0 t ha-1 with sustained soil fertility and it can be extrapolated to other agro-climatic zones of Tamil Nadu on similar and allied soil types.

All abiotic stresses lead to evolution of oxidative stress. Relatively, research addressing the physiological basis of oxidative stress tolerance are scanty. Hence, the study was designed to induce oxidative stress, by in vivo treatment with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ) in rice genotypes showing contrasting behavior to flooding and salt stress. Four genotypes namely, FR 13A (tolerant to flooding stress); Co 43 (susceptible to flooding stress); FL 478 (tolerant to salinity stress) and IR29 (susceptible to salinity stress) were taken to study important physiological traits like chlorophyll contents, cell Membrane Stability (CMS), lipid peroxidation, soluble sugars, Soluble protein content and Nitrate reductase (NR) activity under oxidative stress. The flooding and saline tolerant genotypes showed a lesser per cent reduction in the chlorophyll contents and were able to maintain higher sugar contents on exposure to H2O2 treatments compared to the susceptible ones. Degradation of protein contents and reduction in CMS with increased lipid peroxidation was observed in all the varieties and the protein contents decreased with increase in concentration of H2O2 treatment. H2O2 treatments also showed a linear decrease in NRase activity in all the genotypes taken for study.

Autonomous vehicles are becoming increasingly prevalent in today's world, and the demand for efficient and safe self-driving technology has never been higher. One key component of this technology is the 360-degree surround view camera, which provides a complete view of the vehicle's surroundings, allowing it to navigate safely and efficiently. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of the properties of these cameras in autonomous vehicles. We begin by exploring the various types of 360-degree cameras available, including fisheye, parabolic, and mirror-based designs. We then delve into the technical specifications of these cameras, including resolution, frame rate, and field of view. We also examine the various image processing techniques used to enhance the quality of the images captured by these cameras, such as image stabilization and noise reduction. Next, we discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using 360-degree surround view cameras in autonomous vehicles. On the one hand, these cameras offer a complete view of the vehicle's surroundings, allowing for safe and efficient navigation. On the other hand, they can be expensive and may not always provide the necessary level of detail for certain driving scenarios. We also discuss the various challenges that must be overcome when using 360-degree cameras in autonomous vehicles, such as occlusions, lighting conditions, and the need for real-time processing. Finally, we conclude by discussing the future of 360-degree camera technology in autonomous vehicles and the potential for further advancements in this field. Overall, this paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the properties of 360-degree surround view cameras in autonomous vehicles, offering insights into their benefits, drawbacks, and technical specifications.

Knowledge that we possess nowadays circulates along a straight, and on an aligned path, despite of biotechnological and cybernetic advances. Showing clearly that we run quickly towards distant stars and transhumanism, but deep inside, we end up with an existential anguish from loss of meaning. Does science provides Human Beings freedom? Does it offer meanings for consciousness development?, or has become a new “myth” that, while it claims to explain how the world revolves , covers up a new mode of human manipulation?.
