The innovative technology of triboelectric nanogenerators for intelligent sports
Authors: Ramesh P.
Published: June 2024

Intelligent sports development in the recently emerged Internet-of-things era is especially dependent on the gathering and analysis of athletic big data based on widely dispersed sensor networks. Conventional sensors have drawbacks such a short lifespan and high maintenance costs, and they typically require a separate power source. Recently, independent sensing devices and mechanical energy harvesting have been made possible with the ability to transcend these limitations through the use of triboelectric nanogenerators, or TENGs. Most notably, TENGs can be made from the materials most commonly used in sports—wood, paper, textiles, and polymers. An overview of recent developments in TENG development for intelligent sports is provided. First, an explanation of TENG’s operation and how it relates to sports big data is provided. The creation of wearable technology and smart sports facilities, as well as TENG- based sports sensing systems, is then emphasized. Finally, the remaining difficulties and untapped potential are also covered

Effect of kettle bells and battle rope training on grip strength and body composition among university volleyball players
Authors: Radhika A.H. , Shanmugavalli T.
Published: June 2024

The current research is to examine the possible impacts of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) using battle ropes and kettlebells on body composition and grip strength. The aforementioned workout regimen's influence will be assessed by focusing on these two chosen variables, which are considered essential elements of interest. Existing research suggests that HIIT may have a beneficial effect on both body composition and grip strength, based on current hypotheses. The fundamental concept is that HIIT may induce favorable alterations in body composition, such as increases in lean muscle mass and reductions in body fat. This is due to its structure of brief intervals of very vigorous exercise followed by short periods of rest. HIIT has the ability to improve grip strength, which is an important measure of upper body strength and endurance. The experimental design facilitates the examination of many physical attributes by delivering pre- and post-tests to participants in both groups. The factors under investigation include grip strength (measured using handgrip dynamometers), and body composition (measured using skinfold callipers). The rationale behind our study involves the assessment of triceps strength as well as the strength of the left and right hand grips
Gothic imagination: mapping the cultural memory and remembrance of the epidemic plague
Authors: B Ramya , Poonam Dr
Published: June 2024

Narratives about the epidemic plague create a sense of mystery and fear associated with the cultural landscape. Incorporating the backdrop of the plague, the first part of this research explores the portrayal of the epidemic as the setting against which a Priest engages in a ritualistic transgression to safeguard his soul. The second part focuses on the enigmatic events that unfold when the tomb of the priest inside the church is disturbed, giving rise to a series of mysterious occurrences. By employing Linda Hutcheon's historiographic metafiction, the study focuses on remembering the epidemic plague in the novel A Shadow on the Wall by Jonathan Aycliffe. It examines the interplay between memory and the construction of narrative. This research article delves into the fascinating realm of memory and its profound influence on human consciousness through the novel. It explores how memory can create an imaginary experience, allowing the protagonist to briefly revisit a past that haunts his present and might alter his future. Moreover, the article delves into the intricate operations of cultural collective memory associated with the church, shedding light on its ability to articulate the complex relationship between the past, present, and future within the human psyche. By investigating these themes, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate workings of memory and its role in shaping human consciousness

Authors: Zhou Xiaochang , Khan Aqeel , Yusof Ibnatul Jalilah
Published: June 2024

Throughout history, suicide has presented a significant public health concern on a worldwide scale. Many research investigations have highlighted the harmful connection between emotional intelligence and thoughts of suicide. However, no published articles have systematically reviewed relevant research in China. The objective of this paper is to examine and assess literature concerning the correlation between emotional intelligence and thoughts of suicide within the last ten years. The review includes sources in both English and Chinese languages. Chinese and English databases were queried using keywords such as emotional intelligence, emotional competence, suicidal ideation, and suicidal thoughts. Three reviewers conducted individual assessments of titles, abstracts, and complete texts according to predefined eligibility criteria. Data synthesis involved the extraction and analysis of research methodologies and outcomes. Sixteen studies that met the eligibility criteria were included in this systematic review. These studies, published between 2013 and 2022, demonstrated good methodological quality. The Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) and Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) were frequently employed in these articles, with several studies suggesting that an individual's ability to manage emotions was closely linked to suicidal ideation. Additionally, emotional cognition and others' emotional management abilities were predictive of suicidal ideation to some extent. The findings highlight a notably strong negative correlation between emotional intelligence and thoughts of suicide. This indicates that emotional intelligence could serve as a fundamental component for future investigations into interventions for suicidal ideation

China's Growing Interest in the Middle East: Implications for US Role
Authors: Farheen Sadaf , Anayat Bushra , Khan Muhammad Fahim
Published: June 2024

This paper aims to examine the shift of power from the US to China in the Middle East without paying attention to some of the most vital economic factors such as energy supply, infrastructural investments and trade. Using qualitative research, the study employs secondary research that involves surveying of peer academic journals, government data, and trade statistics. Also, it involves a comparative analysis of the economic factors and strategic policy comparison. According to the findings of the study, the oil imports and investments of China today are remapping the Middle East economy and poised to dethrone the American dominance in the region. The Chinese model is focused on economic relations and exchange and does not meddle in the domestic affairs of its counterparts, which is why many Middle Eastern countries looking for diversification and reliability are interested in this approach. Such a shift is capable of leading to new alignments of power on the international and regional levels or even the fall of American hegemony. The study also reveals the fact that the US must alter its strategy in order for it to be effective; the plan that the study recommends includes diplomacy and aid and also a cooperative approach, some economic incentives and a collaborative strategy. Some of the findings that have been established across the Middle Eastern countries include the need to be able to manage relations with superpowers and defend national interests as crucial for sustainable development. The implication for international ties, therefore, underscores a shift in the nature of power relations within the global system, hence the need to study further the social-political impact of Chinese financial engagement as well as the changing nature of the uneasy relationship between the US and China.

The year-round phenology of Macroglossum stellatarum (Linnaeus, 1758) at a Mediterranean area of South of Spain (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae)
Authors: Cuadrado M.
Published: June 2024

Macroglossum stellatarum (Linnaeus, 1758) is a common moth species found in the Palearctic region. However little is known about their year-round phenology at southern areas of their distribution range. Here I present data on the year-round phenology of imagos recorded at three sites located at Cádiz area (South of Spain) during three years (2014-2016). All the plots were located at lowland sites (<80 m altitude) with a mild Mediterranean-type climate due to the seashore influence. Overall, a total of 206 imagos were recorded on 1307.3 km of BMS transects. Abundance was 0.09 moths/km (data of all sites and years pooled) and varied greatlyamong sites and years. The species was recorded all year round and exhibited three peaks of abundance (one late in the winter between February and March, in May and July) suggesting that the species is trivoltine in the study area. Abundance was however higher in May and July. The year-round phenology varied greatly both among study plots and also among years for the same study plot. Available data suggest that this species is an obligate day-active species in the study area. Despite the species seems to have a residence status in the area, the possibility that some imagos could have been recorded during their migratory movements in their Palearctic route remain open.
The Anti-Lebanon ridge as the edge of the distribution range for Euro-Siberian and Irano-Turanian faunistic elements in the Mediterranean biome: A case study (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Authors: Kravchenko V. D. , Friedman A.-L.-L. , Müller G. C.
Published: June 2024

The Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ridges are located in the middle of a narrow “Mediterranean ecozone” corridor stretching along the Levantine coast. Both ridges are high enough to feature a complete range of altitude zones, which includes an alpine tragacanth belt (> 2000 m a.s.l.). The southernmost part of the Anti-Lebanon ridge is situated in the northernmost part of Israel. Among the 548 Israeli Noctuidae species, 106 species (21%) occur only in this small mountainous area. Among them, 17 are endemic and the populations of the remaining 89 species are at the edge of their distribution range. Montane forest acts as the southernmost shelter for Euro-Siberian and Mediterranean arboreal Noctuidae fauna. The higher altitudes host Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian oromontane species with a few lowland Euro-Siberian species. The alpine faunas of the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ridges are similar, although the Anti-Lebanon ridge, being in the shadow of the Lebanon ridge, receives significantly less precipitation. Nonetheless, it features a Mediterranean biome on its western slopes, while its eastern slopes, facing the Syrian steppe, feature mainly Irano-Turanian fauna. Constituting a border between the Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian faunas, the higher elevations of this ridge present a meeting point of the alpine and xeromontane Noctuidae, making it exceptionally species-rich.

Morphology including genitalia of three species of genus Eupterote Hübner, [1820] viz. E. bifasciata Kishida, 1994, E. mollifera (Walker, 1865) and E. undata Blanchard, [1844] collected from Chhattisgarh, India are discussed here for first time with illustrated images. Among these three species, E. bifasciata and E. mollifera are newly recorded from the Central Indian Landscape. An updated list of 14 Indian species of genus Eupterote with their distribution is also provided. Six E. undata morphs with their images are illustrated here for first time. With the present record of E.bifasciata, we extend its distribution range significantly to the south in more or less plain habitat of the Deccan Peninsular biogeographic zone and confirm its occurrence in India.
Pedagogical Competency Development Program for Special Supervising Teachers for Slow Learner Children at SMPN 6 Jakarta

The main philosophical foundation in implementing inclusive education in Indonesia is the Pancasila philosophy which has the motto "Unity in Diversity" which is a symbol and symbol of recognition that Indonesia is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-language country, customs, religions and beliefs as a wealth that must be guarded, maintained and developed within the framework of the Republic of Indonesia. For this reason, abnormalities (disabilities) and giftedness are just a form of diversity, just like differences in ethnicity, race, language, culture or religion. Education should not need to differentiate between children in learning in the classroom. This is the case at SMPN 6 Jakarta as one of known to be around 12 students, the majority of whom are slow learners. Meanwhile, the condition of the teachers at SMPN 6 is also considered to have low pedagogical competence in dealing with children with slow learner needs, all of whom are general teachers. However, these limitations create problems during the learning process at school, especially in individual learning. The research results show that: (a) the pedagogical competence of special supervising teachers at SMPN 6 Jakarta is still lacking in understanding pedagogical competence; (b) the obstacle experienced by teachers is the unavailability of training programs that support teachers' understanding and mastery of students with special needs; (c) formulation of a training program to improve the pedagogical competence of special supervising teachers at SMPN 6 Jakarta for children with special needs in the form of a training program; and (d) the results of the implementation test of the pedagogical competency training program for special supervising teachers at SMPN 6 Jakarta showed that it had a significant positive impact.

"¿Quién quiere jugar?"
"!Yooooooooooooooo!"
Las infancias emocionadas gritan al unísono en respuesta a un organizador del taller "Ciudad, Espacios Públicos Infancias". Durante unos días intensos, el estudiantado del grado de arquitectura de cuatro universidades interactúa con más de 70 niñas y niños de 6 a 12 años y sus respectivas familias y equipo docente de la escuela primaria pública de la colonia Alemán en Oaxaca de Juárez, México. El objetivo inicial: desarrollar un diagnóstico sobre necesidades en el entorno urbano de la escuela. El programa de las jornadas incluye rutas exploratorias, actividades artísticas diversas para describir, imaginar y cartografiar su barrio (colonia), juegos colaborativos, debates, conversaciones, risas, tamales, conciertos improvisados y numerosas comidas con las familias y el COMVIVE (Comité de Vida Vecinal). Sin embargo, lo que iba a limitarse a un diagnóstico deriva, dada la metodología abierta y oportunidad latente, en una operación de urbanismo táctico en la cual la comunidad participante se apropia y transforma el espacio público frente a la escuela. En el Tequio -jornadas de trabajo voluntario comunitario por el bien común - participan vecinas y vecinos del COMVIVE, estudiantes de arquitectura, y la comunidad de la escuela primaria. En tres días y con un presupuesto mínimo, 930m2 de espacio público en estado de dejadez y usado como aparcamiento se convierten en una gran explanada jugable multiusos, segura de día y noche. Un espacio público comunitario co-diseñado, co-construido y actualmente co-gestionado por su población cercana.
Las infancias, también denominadas "generaciones futuras", siguen siendo un colectivo vulnerable con poca voz en la toma de decisiones sobre el futuro de sus espacios urbanos, a pesar de ser las primeras interesadas. Este proyecto es un manifiesto claro: repensar los espacios urbanos no solo para las infancias, sino desde y con ellas, reconociendo su derecho a la ciudad. Un ejercicio complejo, que pide un esfuerzo considerable de comunicación y empatía para hablar de temáticas estructurales como inseguridad, violencias de género, medio ambiente, y del rol del urbanismo. Para ello, el estudiantado de arquitectura tiene que confeccionar sus propias estrategias de co-creación urbana. Estas prácticas colaborativas son recogidas aquí como metodología abierta que permita replicar el experimento en diferentes contextos locales e internacionales. Esta forma de hacer arquitectura propone una alternativa a los proyectos desarrollados estrictamente desde las instituciones al incluir la ciudadanía de forma activa. Una forma de hacer ciudad abierta y colaborativa con un fin único: un presente y un futuro más positivo e inclusivo.
Pierce and Cassirer, ‘Life’ and ‘Spirit’
Authors: Eicher-Catt Deborah , Catt Isaac ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: June 2024

This research explores the contribution of Ernst Cassirer to the relationship between communication and religion. Religion, one of Cassirer's fundamental symbolic forms, is read through the phenomenological categories in Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics. Communicology is briefly described as the science of embodied discourse. The semiotic logic (phenomenology) beneath Cassirer's dialectical thinking is revealed. Peirce's progressive, reflexive logic of Firstness, Secondness and Thirdness proves insightful as a way of comprehending the breadth and depth of Cassirer's symbol of religion in relation to ‘life’ and ‘spirit,’ ‘basis phenomena,’ and myth and religion. We conclude that in religio it is not the symbol that is sacred. Rather, communication is held sacred.
Religiosity and Willingness to Seek Treatment for HIV/AIDS
Authors: Croucher Stephen ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: June 2024

Individuals with HIV/AIDS were recruited from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom to complete a survey analyzing the relationship between religiosity and willingness to seek treatment for HIV/AIDS. Willingness to seek treatment is conceptualized as a three-dimensional construct including a patient’s propensity to seek out information about their illness, to be assertive in medical interaction, and to non-adhere to medical advice. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed religiosity to be negatively correlated with nonadherence and positively with seeking out of information and assertiveness. Significant differences also emerged between the three nations on the dimensions of willingness to seek treatment.

Proper dressing and preparation of thermal burns wounds are vital not just for infection prevention but also for potential surgical intervention. This article discusses our evaluation of the efficacy of Super Oxidized Solution in locally treating thermal burns wounds. In the case report performed on a 70-year-old female with thermal burns over the gluteal region, Super Oxidized Solution facilitated wound healing and prepared wounds for definitive coverage by promoting granulation and reducing infection, which are the prerequisites for surgery.
