A study on energy consumption and impact on network lifetime using ANODR and DYMO routing protocol in MANETs using QualNet simulator
Authors: Uppe Nanaji
Published: July 2024

This study examines energy consumption and the impact on network lifetime using ANODR and DYMO routing protocols in MANETs with the QualNet simulator. Both ANODR and DYMO are designed for MANETs but employ different approaches for establishing and maintaining routes among mobile nodes. ANODR adapts routing decisions based on neighborhood information, while DYMO operates on-demand, establishing routes only when necessary. To investigate energy consumption and network lifetime, simulations or experiments should be conducted to compare the performance of these protocols under various scenarios. Analyzing these QoS metrics provides insights into the energy efficiency and impact on network lifetime of ANODR and DYMO in MANETs.

Authors: Damninder Singh , Jatinder Pal Singh
Published: July 2024

For the transmission of data at high speed, the requirement of using a larger bandwidth increases due to the rise in wireless communication technologies like smart devices, mobiles, etc. An abrupt increase in the requirement for internet data due to an increase in internet users demanded time-to-time upgrades in available techniques. A significant modernization has been done by technology in mobile and wireless communication and networking fields. Therefore, the development of mobile communication began with the First Generation (1G) and has progressed continuously to the Fifth Generation (5G). To address the weaknesses of previous generations, each successive generation has been developed with improvements. Fifth Generation (5G) is the latest technology in wireless communication cellular systems, providing the highest internet speeds to everyone, anywhere, anytime. 5G has attracted many global researchers, universities, and research institutes to invent new techniques for enhancement in channel capacity and spectrum utilization of communication systems. This paper describes the evolution of cellular networks, expectations from 5G, the challenges and advantages of 5G, and the techniques on which 5G relies.

Authors: Lawrence Luhanga
Published: July 2024

This study examines the Handover Success Rates (HSR) within Malawi's mobile telecommunications landscape, extending its analysis beyond the initially narrow scope of Airtel Malawi Plc and Telekom Networks Malawi (TNM) to include a more comprehensive dataset covering multiple quarters from the first quarter of 2020. Employing a robust methodological framework, this paper integrates advanced statistical techniques to assess HSR but also examines data throughput, call setup success rates, and customer experience metrics. The findings reveal that while Airtel and TNM consistently surpass the regulatory benchmarks set by the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA), there exists a significant opportunity for further enhancing network reliability and user satisfaction. By showcasing the application of innovative analytical tools and extending the research scope to include a broader range of performance metrics, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of mobile network performance dynamics. The insights garnered from this analysis not only highlight the necessity for ongoing network optimization efforts but also underscore the potential for adopting next-generation technologies to sustain and improve service quality in the face of increasing demand.
Modern paradigms in biologic sequencing of inflammatory bowel disease in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Chieng Michael , Marshall Bronson , Jiang Caroline
Published: July 2024

The modern treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has evolved significantly in recent years. This includes development of new pharmacologic therapies and their implementation in clinical practice. Moderate-to-severe IBD represents a group of patients at risk of poorer outcomes, and mounting evidence suggests biologic and small molecule medications, collectively termed advanced therapies, are the most effective tools clinicians possess. Even with biologic treatment, many patients do not respond or lose response over time. Until recently, most randomised trials demonstrating efficacy and safety of biologics have been placebo-controlled with a lack of head-to-head studies. Therefore, selecting the right medication for the appropriate clinical scenario can be difficult. In addition, there is evidence of differing clinical success when positioning biologic treatments in different sequences. This is important, as one-third of patients treated with biologics will require a switch to a second agent by 12 months, and a further 20% will require a third agent. Over the years, there have been widespread calls in Aotearoa New Zealand for increasing biologic treatment options. Ustekinumab and vedolizumab received public funding for the treatment of moderate-to-severe IBD in 2023, and this has presented long-awaited opportunities for patients, but also new challenges for clinicians in regard to treatment selection. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to clinicians on biologic selection, sequencing and optimisation for IBD. These recommendations are specific to the domestic prescribing climate, supported by the best available evidence and endorsed by the New Zealand Society of Gastroenterology IBD Working Group.

RAZOÁVEL DURAÇÃO DO PROCESSO E VIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA: UMA CORRIDA PELA INTEGRIDADE E VIDA DE MILHÕES DE MULHERES BRASILEIRAS
Authors: Santiago Moisés Victor Pessoa , Siena Osmar
Published: July 2024

O presente artigo objetivo analisar o conceito de duração razoável do processo aplicado às ações penais de violência doméstica contra a mulher. Em que pese a tramitação do processo num tempo razoável ser uma garantia constitucional a indefinição sobre o que seria o tempo razoável aliada a inúmeros problemas do sistema de justiça criminal e a uma forte cultura machista servem como obstáculos ao combate da violência de gênero no Brasil, mesmo quando as autoridades policiais e judiciais são acionadas. Procurou-se abordar sobre o conceito de duração razoável, prescrição, o contexto de urgência inerente às ações penais de violência doméstica e o papel dos juízes e juízas na condução destes processos. Concluiu-se que para atender aos objetivos de mudança social aos quais a Lei Maria da Penha destina-se, de pacificação e erradicação da violência, o sistema judicial brasileiro, em especial os magistrados (as), precisam atuar como uma visão humanística, com a valorização da ética e observância da imparcialidade e legalidade para julgarem cada vez mais e menor tempo.
REFORMAS PARA UM POLICIAMENTO DEMOCRÁTICO: DESAFIOS PARA DESCONSTITUCIONALIZAR O MODELO DE POLÍCIA
Authors: Rolim Marcos Flávio
Published: July 2024

O objetivo do artigo é o de discutir, a partir de revisão bibliográfica, os caminhos para a reforma do modelo de polícia no Brasil, com foco nas características disfuncionais desse modelo que impedem respostas condizentes com o mandato das polícias nas democracias modernas. Destaca-se a necessidade de que, a exemplo da experiência internacional, seja assegurado o ciclo completo às polícias brasileiras, com as funções de patrulhamento e investigação como especializações internas às instituições; as razões pelas quais a ideia de unificação das polícias agrega graves riscos e porque é necessário que cada polícia tenha uma só carreira funcional, superando-se, assim, as fraturas que as tensionam, que legitimam concepções autoritárias de gestão e que reduzem sua eficiência. O texto aborda tema relevante e sinaliza um caminho que pode estruturar políticas inovadoras na área da segurança pública. Concluímos que as reformas propostas exigirão, por sua amplitude, a retirada do modelo de polícia da Constituição Federal e a aprovação de princípios matriciais de policiamento democrático baseado em evidências como diretrizes do Sistema Único de Segurança Pública.
A TEORIA CRÍTICA DA TRIBUTAÇÃO E O IMPOSTO SOBRE A RENDA DAS PESSOAS FÍSICAS
Authors: Corval Paulo Roberto Dos Santos , Charret Fernanda Cardoso
Published: July 2024

Buscou-se, neste artigo, resgatar a abordagem estadunidense denominada teoria crítica da tributação e suas possíveis contribuições para o sistema tributário brasileiro, em especial no tocante às reflexões sobre gênero, raça, renda e tributação, explorando-se, a título ilustrativo, o seu potencial no que toca ao imposto sobre a renda das pessoas físicas (IRPF). A análise é pautada na revisão bibliográfica de diversos artigos pertinentes à teoria crítica da tributação juntamente com dados institucionais reveladores da premissa norteadora do presente artigo, a saber, a vulnerabilidade econômica e social de determinados grupos excluídos dos esforços e preocupações tradicionais do direito tributário, em diálogo com a normatividade constitucional a respeito do tema. Certos de que toda tributação é política, não se afigurando recomendável tomar como diretriz normativa ou mesmo como princípio as orientações interpretativas que postulem ser o direito e a política tributária neutros e desconectados dos problemas de desigualdade que marcam a realidade social no país, demarcou-se, ao final do artigo, a urgência de maiores pesquisas interdisciplinares que possam fomentar a política e as técnicas tributárias em prol do melhor uso do IRPF no combate, também, às desigualdades de grupamentos marginalizados e demandantes de reconhecimento, assim como a necessidade de revisão da estrutura regressiva tributária brasileira que atrofia a função dos impostos diretos na realização do princípio constitucional da capacidade contributiva como manifestação dos objetivos igualitários fixados na Constituição de 1988.

Published: July 2024

Breast Self Examination is carried out to reduce breast cancer mortality by finding breast cancer as early as possible and treating it when the size is still small before the cancer metastasizes. The discovery of breast cancer as early as possible that is diagnosed and treated correctly will increase the life expectancy of breast cancer sufferers. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between marital status and the implementation of Breast Self Examination in women of childbearing age. This research was a descriptive analytic study with cross sectional and carried out in the Working Area of BPM Hj. Rismawati, Maros Regency, South Sulawesi. The sample used 37 respondents, namely women of childbearing age with cluster sampling technique and tested using Fisher's exact test . The result of this study showed that there was a significant relationship between marital status and the implementation of the Breast Self Examination. In this study it was also concluded that marital status was not a risk factor for the implementation of the Breast Self Examination (OR value 0.47 < 1) or it can be said that unmarried women only had 0.47 times the risk of not doing Breast Self Examination compared to women who had married. It is needed to do further research on the respondents' perceptions, respondents' socio-cultural or community about breast cancer and early detection of breast cancer and respondents' insurance status

Authors: Dewiyuliana Dewiyuliana
Published: July 2024

Hypertension is a chronic non-communicable disease, the cases of which are increasing every years. Hypertension is caused by heredity, age, food and unhealthy lifestyle. The consequences of hypertension include heart disease, stroke, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, kidney failure and other diseases. One of the effective and easy non-pharmacological treatments for lowering blood pressure is using Benson relaxation. Benson's relaxation is a concentration of relaxation by harmonizing blood pressure so that it reduces the work of the sympathetic and initial sympathetic nerves to affect heart rate, pulse, respiration and activities that use the workload of the heart. This study aimed to analyze the effect of benson relaxation in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This study was a pre-experimental research with a pretest and posttest design approach. The population in this study was hypertensive patients with a sample of 18 respondents selected by purposive sampling with the criteria of being willing to become respondents and participating in Benson relaxation activities for 2 weeks. The hypothesis testing used the T test (Paired sample Test). The results of the pre post systole study obtained p = 0.000 and pre post diastole p = 0.007 indicating that Benson relaxation is done regularly and is effective in reducing blood pressure in people with hypertension. It is hoped that people and families with hypertension can apply Benson in reducing and controlling blood pressure

Exploring The Mediating Role of Intrinsic Motivation Between Innovation Support and Innovative Behavior: An Empirical Study Based on a Design Thinking Course
Authors: Chen Hong , Chen Xie , Pan Younghwan
Published: July 2024

Establishing a culture of innovation is complex and demands more than simply urging students to be creative. It requires a comprehensive support system encompassing resources, leadership, training, and an environment that fosters and sustains innovative behavior. The purpose of this research is to investigate the way in which innovation support impacts the innovative behavior of university students. Additionally, it aims to explore the role of intrinsic motivation in mediating the relationship between innovation support (including emotional, interpersonal, and resource support) and innovative behavior within the context of a design thinking course. The study presents a conceptual model that examines the causal link between innovation support and innovative behavior, as well as the mediating role of intrinsic motivation, to test hypotheses regarding the connections among innovation support, innovative behavior, and intrinsic motivation. The research was conducted using an online survey and snowball sampling technique, which resulted in the collection of 234 questionnaires from four universities in China. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modelling. The results indicate that all three types of innovation support have a significant impact on students’ innovative behavior. Furthermore, the research reveals that intrinsic motivation plays a mediating role between the three types of innovation support and innovative behavior. These findings have both theoretical and practical implications for universities seeking to foster students' creative thinking and innovative behavior. Additionally, future research can further explore ways in which universities can effectively cultivate a culture of innovation through strong support systems and by harnessing intrinsic motivation.
“Flow effect” as an important factor of artistic energetization of Shevchenko's poetic text (based on the analysis of the poem “Fate”)
Authors: Klochek Hryhorii
Published: July 2024

The article studies the artistic function of such a feature of the poet‘s rhythmic melody as the “flow effect” in the context of the analysis of Taras Shevchenko’s poem “Dolya” (“Fate”). The doctrine of famous American psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, set forth in his book “Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience”, helps to understand the effect of flow as a factor of artistic energising. With reference to the creative experience of artists (composers, musicians, writers), the psychologist proves that they, being in a state of flow, that is, in a state of inspiration, create aesthetically valuable works. The ability for poetic improvisation, which often took on an explosive intensity, is one of the defining features of Shevchenko’s genius artistic talent. Poetic improvisation is a state of inspiration, a state of being in a creative flow, when the author expresses himself by creating an artistically sophisticated thing. The poet’s “Shchodennyk” (“Diary”) (the records of 7, 8, 9, February) testifies that the impetus for the creation of the triptych “Dolya” (“Fate”), “Muza” (“Muse”), “Slava” (“Fame”) was the emotional upheaval caused by the breakup with actress Kateryna Piunova, with whom he intended to start a family. Creating a triptych in the mode of improvisation was the way of self-expression, emotional “outpour”, meaning self-soothing. That is why the whole triptych has the mode of lyrical self-comprehension and most prominentlyit manifested itself in the first poem of the triptych “Dolya”.
The analysis of the poem “Dolya” reveals a direct cаorrelation between flowing rhythmic melody and the means of expression called “stream of consciousness”. One of the important features of flowing rhythmic melody in the poem “Dolya” is related to its intonation contour, which is sensitive to the event developments. The key feature of the “flow effect” of the analysed poem is that all expressive components of the text (rhythmic, linguistic, compositional...) are realised in compliance with the principle of optimality. The flowing state of inspiration, the state of aesthetic exaltation experienced by the poet, due to the distinct flowing rhythmic melody is endowed with a uniquepower to influence the reader — to bring them into the same state of flow, giving them the aesthetic feeling experienced by the author. This is how the author-reader correlation is set into motion.
IS THE FORCE AND THE POWER ALWAYS GOOD? REFLECTION ON THE BOOK “POWERLESSNESS” BY ELENA KOSILOVA
Authors: Reznichenko Anna I. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: July 2024

The article is about the reflection on the book “Powerlessness” by Elena Kosilova a Russian philosopher, who set herself a difficult task: to analyse the phenomenon of the powerlessness from a philosophical point of view. Attention is drawn to the non-triviality of the very statement of the issue. The author postulates powerlessness not as a lack of power, but as a supreme value, contrasting it with Nietzschean “will to power”. She also considers such aspects such as the existential attitude to powerlessness; the relation between powerlessness and consciousness, understanding and thinking; finally, powerlessness and asceticism and powerlessness and human subjectivity. The paper is describing the states that allow the subject to exist in the world under the condition of an attitude of powerlessness: escapism, values, passivity, understood as being before and open to the Other, and finally, the ability to say “no”. The paradox of the powerlessness attitude is emphasised. The powerlessness requires great strength and will on the part of the subject, even if those will and strength are invisible to the observer.
THE IDEA OF A SOCIAL CONTRACT IN THE WRITINGS OF THOMAS HOBBES
Authors: Tartygasheva Galina V. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: July 2024

The article considers the theory of the social contract by T. Hobbes, based on the ideas of achieving and maintaining social order through, in fact, the absolute power of the state in the person of the sovereign. Hobbes’ ideas have regained relevance in conditions of extreme uncertainty of the further development of mankind, in conditions of declining popularity of the liberal model of governance, democratic institutions of power, the diminished efficiency of which is clearly demonstrated in emergency situations. Social order arises from the situation of appointing the sovereign as an arbitrator, not only for the balance of private interests, but also because citizens should perceive him as an instance of truth. In addition, Hobbes’ idea of achieving and ensuring security through the state becomes extremely suitable for the implementation of modern concepts of state security related to the possibility of total citizen control, with the degree of tolerance for the interference in the lives of citizens.
THE SOLAR MYTHOLOGY OF EASTERN ASIA AND OTHER REGIONS
Authors: Berezkin Yuri E. ,   Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (the Kunstkamera) of the Russian Academy of Science,   European University at St. Petersburg
Published: July 2024

One of the main clusters of episodes in the mythologies of East and Southeast Asia describes the appearance of multiple suns, whose heat threatens life. The archer shoots down all the suns except the last one. This article examines the geographical distribution and frequency of combinations of these and other solar motifs. The dominant notion of the sun as a woman in the northeastern half of Eurasia only formed in the Holocene. It contrasts with variants typical of the Americas, Oceania, and Africa. The motifs of multiple suns, shooting at the suns, and rectifying the peculiarities of the original sun combined at the same time. A similar set is reflected in ancient Chinese monuments and in the folklore of China and Southeast Asia, but in America, these motifs are rarely interconnected. In southwest Eurasia, the sun in the form of a man or a woman occurs with almost equal frequency, which is characteristic of ancient mythologies in the Near East. In general, the percentage ratio of variants in southwest Eurasia is close to the world average, while in all other regions, it is skewed in favor of one of the variants. The myth of how the moon provoked the sun to eat its children was brought by early migrants from Africa to the Sunda subcontinent. At the end of the Pleistocene, a marine transgression displaced part of the population to the north, giving rise to the genes of the Malay Negritos and the myth of the sun-eaten children in Central India. Exclusive parallels between the Balkans and Shaanxi (“The Sun Refuses Marriage”), as well as between the Balkans, India, and Madagascar (“The Cancelled Cosmic Marriage”), remain unexplained.
1964 e o debate que não terminou

Published: July 2024

O propósito do artigo é uma sistematização do debate historiográfico sobre o uso que o conceito de ditadura tem provocado nas interpretações sobre a natureza do golpe de 1964 e do regime daí eclodido. Sem pretensões de totalidade, realizamos um cruzamento de escritos das áreas de História e Ciências Sociais, do ponto de vista da defesa ou do distanciamento da adoção do termo “civil-militar” como categoria explicativa para definir este período singular da história brasileira. Situamos esse debate historiográfico e político no contexto dos 50 anos do golpe em 2014, quando novas contendas foram disseminadas. Pensamos que em 2024, efeméride dos 60 anos do acontecido em 1964, esse debate, já consolidado dentro e fora da Academia, possa resultar em entendimento histórico a ser balizado por novas batalhas memorialísticas e historiográficas.
O que é um golpe?
Authors: De Sousa Moraes Kleiton
Published: July 2024

O trabalho pretende investigar, de maneira introdutória, o processo de construção de um novo vocabulário político em meio à crise institucional no Brasil de inícios da década de 1960. Para isso, analisamos os artigos publicados pelo polemista Themístocles de Castro e Silva em 1961 e 1964. A hipótese é de que, à medida que os acontecimentos se davam, uma nova linguagem política foi sendo forjada, onde termos como “democracia” e “legalidade” foram ganhando distintos significados. Dessa forma, busco defender que o Golpe civil-militar de 1964 pode, em parte, ser compreendido analisando o contexto linguístico que tornou possível a defesa de um golpe de Estado em nome da democracia.
Só dói quando ele ri

O começo dos anos 1980 foi marcado por uma série de atentados terroristas por todo o País. Extremistas de direita, ligados ao aparato oficial de repressão e mesmo civis, promoveram vários ataques com bombas e ameaças na intenção de barrar a abertura da ditadura civil-militar. Neste artigo, tratamos de analisar, em um conjunto de charges, como foram abordados aspectos diversos da onda terrorista. Elementos de comunicação importantes de nossa cultura, com temas acessíveis, as charges são desenhos, com distorções, humor e críticas, relativos a fatos recentes ou a figuras políticas de destaque. As charges são expressões das vivências e trajetórias dosdesenhistas e dos posicionamentos político-ideológicos dos periódicos em que são veiculadas, sem descartar as relações sociais e o contexto histórico. São também um instrumento de intervenção política, pois induzem a um posicionamento do receptor, de apoio ou reprovação. A partir dos trabalhos de Ziraldo, Willy e Sinfrônio publicados, respectivamente, no Jornal do Brasil, na Tribuna da Imprensa e no O Povo, almejamos compreender as mensagens e representações de mundo contidas nos desenhos, tendo-se em conta o consenso que se formava na sociedade em torno da democracia, o processo político da abertura da ditadura e ações da extrema-direita.
Implementación del algoritmo SAM para el resaltado de lesiones en pie diabético

El pie diabético es una complicación crónica de la diabetes mellitus que puede ocurrir cuando los niveles de glucosa en sangre no están adecuadamente controlados. Esta condición daña los nervios y/o los vasos sanguíneos de los pies, y si no se cuida adecuadamente, puede llevar a lesiones, infecciones y, en casos graves, a la amputación de las extremidades. Se estima que entre el 71% y el 85% de los pacientes diabéticos con úlceras en los pies requieren amputaciones. Por lo tanto, es crucial detectar el desarrollo de úlceras en el pie para mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes con pie diabético.
En este trabajo, se propone una implementación del algoritmo de segmentación SAM con el objetivo de eliminar el fondo de las fotografías e identificar las lesiones presentes en el pie. Esto se hace con la finalidad de facilitar la identificación de estas lesiones en instituciones de atención médica que no cuentan con especialistas disponibles.
Es importante tener en cuenta que, aunque el uso de algoritmos de segmentación puede ser útil como una herramienta de apoyo en la detección de lesiones en el pie diabético, es fundamental que los resultados sean validados por profesionales de la salud especializados. La evaluación clínica y el diagnóstico preciso deben ser realizados por médicos o especialistas capacitados en el cuidado de los pies diabéticos.

Como enfermedades cardiovasculares se incluyen las enfermedades del corazón y del sistema de vasos sanguíneos que incluyen al cerebro, las piernas y los pulmones. Estas enfermedades tienen una tasa de mortalidad bastante alta y se estima que para el año 2030 serán cerca de 23.6 millones de personas las que pueden fallecer por dicha causa. Se utiliza una metodología de investigación cuantitativa con alcance descriptivo. Este proyecto aborda el estudio de un tipo de cardiopatía, la insuficiencia cardíaca (IC), la cual se destaca por la incapacidad del corazón de bombear sangre en las cantidades adecuadas y necesarias para satisfacer las demandas del metabolismo. Concretamente se buscó la predicción de la enfermedad por medio de redes neuronales artificiales, una de las técnicas de machine learning (ML) más adecuadas para este tipo de actividades, aunque no la única. La implementación se hizo a partir de dos herramientas que incorporan el manejo de redes neuronales (RN), SPSS de IBM y Matlab. Se consiguió una precisión del 94.7%. Adicionalmente, él estudió se orientó a determinar aquellas características con más influencia en la predicción de IC. Ambos softwares lograron coincidir en que la pendiente del segmento ST posee el mayor impacto en la predicción.

The Basketball Challenge game was created using Scratch, a visual programming platform that enables the development of educational games in an easy and interactive manner. Basketball Challenge is designed with a storyline where players must collect as many balls as possible to reach the required score to advance to the next level. If players fail to collect the balls according to the target, the game will end with a game over, and players will have to start again from the initial level. Conversely, if players manage to collect the balls to meet the target, they will proceed to the next level. This study aims to explore the development process of this game, including level design, gameplay mechanics, asset creation, as well as testing and debugging. The results indicate that Scratch is an effective tool for developing educational games that can be played by all age groups, providing an enjoyable gaming experience while also training players' cognitive and motor skills.

Sound processing uses a variety of methods. One of them is converting writing into sound or commonly known as Text To Speech.Text To Speech is a tool for converting writing input into sound by changing the phoneme of writing.Text To Speech Text To Speech consists of two sub-systems namely word to phoneme converters and phoneme to speech converter. The phoneme itself consists of word fragments that have different speech from one another with each other. To perform the phoneme separation process, the Finite State Automata method. Finite State Automata can recognise the simplest language and is an abstract machine whose input and output are discrete. The input system that is processed by the system only consists of two words. If there are more than two word inputs, the programme will not be able to perform word separation properly. After the word separation is done, then the system performs phoneme to speech converter.The resulting speech is processed by the Indo_TTS database which was database developed using the diphone prosody method concatenation prosody methodThe word that has been separated will be stored into the MySQL database as a result of words that have been tested by the system. Later this system will be intended for general public, students and people with speech impairment. The percentage of successful syllable separation and homograph sound output is 98.7% in the programme's success rate.
