Authors: Abbas Mariam , Nisa Zaib un , Abbas Usman
Published: October 2023

The Objective of this study is to check the connection of exchange rate volatility in response to COVID- 19, with the help of two different models. We used twelve variables in these two model Exchange rate volatilities, Govt Effectiveness, Unemployment, Inflation, Lending Interest rate, GDP per capita, Population, Immunization, Govt Expenditure on education, Life- Expectancy, and Hand washing. The data collected from World Development Indicator, World Health Organization, International Financial Statistics, Worldwide Governs indicators, and COVID-19 data collected from-our-world-in-data. ARCH and GARCH models are used to find out the Volatility of the Exchange rate. This study employed the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model because it is a versatile and effective statistical technique that permits parameter estimation in models with potential endogeneity and measurement error concerns. Panel GMM Technique is used to find the significant result. According to model one Exchange rate volatility has a positive and significant connection with the Covid-19 cases or death rate, Govt effectiveness, and Govt Expenditure on education, and negative relation with Unemployment, Inflation, Lending interest rate, Number of COVID-19 cases, Population, and GDP Per capita. According to our second model results, all the variables have a positive relation with COVID-19 except Government Effectiveness and Immunization.

Type 2 endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms remains the most prevalent type of endoleak. Depending on the time of appearance, can be classified as primary, or secondary, those that appear after the first month after endoprosthesis implantation. Type II endoleaks, due to retrograde filling of the aneurysmal sac from a collateral artery, constitute the most frequent subgroup. Most of the type II endoleaks resolve spontaneously. Which is why they must be treated. The surgical treatment of type 2 endoleaks is through a transarterial approach, In this case, This technique is complicated even in expert hands, and migration of the coils proximally or distally is not uncommon. In general, EVAR is associated, for the moment, with a non-negligible risk of other postoperative complications, such as ischemic complications, those associated with rupture or mobilization of the endoprosthesis, and endoleaks. These complications can affect up to 35% Of the patients who undergo EVAR compared to 8% After CAC. Of cases, and in addition, in the long-term evolution, failures may occur due to material fatigue, with it, the pressurization of the sac and eventually the evolution towards rupture. Follow-up is something inherent to EVAR.

Published: October 2023

Characterizing the socio-economic systems in integrated watersheds is to identify and prioritize production constraints for designing appropriate R&D interventions. The random sampling method was used to select 81 households, and both qualitative and quantitative data were collected. Formal and informal surveys were conducted to gather information about the socioeconomic and institutional issues. Descriptive statistics and diversity indices were used for data analysis. According to the results of the study, agriculture is the largest source of income in the study areas, followed by off-farm activities such as daily labor, handcraft and pension. The dominant crops grown in the watershed are maize, teff, and haricot bean, respectively. Livestock rearing is also the major means of livelihood in the study area. About 37%, 19% and 17% of the farmers owned cows, sheep and goat, respectively, in the Edo watershed. The watershed is characterized by a dynamic farming system. For instance, about 63% and 32% in the introduction of new varieties and declining in soil fertility changes over the last decade were recorded, respectively. About 58% of the households indicated that there has been a decreasing and irregularity in rainfall, while 20% of the households reacted that there is the emergence of animal and plant diseases, increasing temperature, and decrease in river flow and springs over the last 10 years in the watershed. The baseline study also identified that water erosion, deforestation, and over-tillage are the major causes of the degradation of natural resources in the watershed. In general, this study concludes that land degradation and biodiversity loss are serious concerns in the watershed. Awareness creation and strengthening capacity of rural communities on integrating crops, livestock, and natural resource management technologies for effective soil and water conservation measures should be enhanced for sustainable livelihood improvement.
Intertextuality Across Genres: A Study of Homer’s the Odyssey and Suzan-Lori Parks’s Father Comes Home from the Wars
Authors: Apene Dickson Nkehmengwe
Published: October 2023

This research work aims to show the relationship between Homer’s The Odyssey and Parks’s Father Comes Home from the Wars. It has as objective, to debunk the stereotypical norms of writing literary works, which shows that comparative analysis can only be limited to a particular genre, that is (novel to novel, play to play and poetry to poetry). This intertextual study proclaims that a literary work cannot be limited only to a particular genre but can equally cut across genres. This explains why Parks rewrites Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey into a play, Father Comes Home from the Wars, which she transforms into the American scenario. Thus, the researcher is going to carry out a comparative analysis between Homer’s epic poem and Parks’s play. Our study of the selected works has considered the way meanings are constructed by a network of cultural and social discourses which embody distinct codes, expectations and assumptions. Besides, the thematic and linguistic similarities and differences between the works of the European and American authour selected have enabled the researcher to have an insight into literary influences and affinities. This article has also studied the life experiences of the authours selected, and their historical contexts and has demonstrated that Homer had no direct influence on Parks. This work is premised on the hypothesis that intertextuality is not limited to a particular genre of writing, be it prose, poetry or drama but can equally cut across genres. Intertextuality foregrounds the notions of interconnectedness and interdependence in culture. To analyse these works, the researcher used deconstruction to debunk traditional norms of writing in contrastive studies. Although Parks subscribes to Greek mythology and the Theatre of the Absurd respectively, she deviates from her European forebear of this convention, as she presents her play Father Comes Home from the Wars, which is again not written in acts and scenes but in parts, through American realism, as she is somewhat a social critic.
Sensus Fidei Umat Katolik di Keuskupan Agung Jakarta terhadap Isu Homoseksualitas pada Tahun 2022
Authors: Adiwenanto Albertus
Published: October 2023

Homosexuality is not easily accepted in the Catholic Church. There are at least three major schools concerning the attitude towards homosexuality based on their respective theological methodologies (scientia fidei). The first school is encapsulated in the Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (1986), which rejects homosexual persons and same-sex sexual relationships. The second school is put forward by John J. McNeill (1993), a moralist who embraces homosexual persons and same-sex sexual relationships. The last one is represented by the document of Amoris Laetitia (2016), which accepts homosexual persons but disapproves of same-sex sexual relationships. These three major schools refer to the interpretation of the document Persona Humana article 8 (1975). A survey of 566 respondents was conducted from the 8th to the 15th of November in 2022. The results show that 74.2% of respondents have a form of acceptance in accordance with Amoris Laetitia, 14.5% with the Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons, and 5.5% with the thoughts of John J. McNeill. Our study concluded that accepting homosexual persons and rejecting homosexual acts is the reference for ad experimentum moral decisions in the context of the Archdiocese of Jakarta in 2022.

Abstrak

Homoseksualitas tidak begitu mudah diterima dalam Gereja Katolik. Setidaknya ada tiga aliran yang berbeda sikap terhadap homoseksualitas berdasarkan pandangan teologi (scientia fidei) masing-masing. Aliran pertama terwakili oleh dokumen Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (1986) yang menolak pribadi homoseksual dan hubungan seksual sesama jenis. Aliran kedua diwakili oleh seorang moralis bernama John J. McNeill (1993) yang menerima pribadi homoseksual dan hubungan seksual sesama jenis. Aliran ketiga terwakili oleh dokumen Amoris Laetitia (2016) yang menerima pribadi homoseksual namun menolak hubungan seksual sesama jenis. Ketiga aliran besar ini mengacu pada penafsiran dokumen Persona Humana artikel 8 (1975). Sejak tanggal 8 sampai dengan 15 November 2022 kami melakukan survei terhadap 566 responden. Hasil survei menunjukkan sebanyak 74.2% responden memiliki bentuk penerimaan sesuai dengan Amoris Laetitia; sebanyak 14.5% responden memiliki bentuk penerimaan sesuai dengan dokumen Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons; dan sebanyak 5.5% responden memiliki bentuk penerimaan sesuai dengan pemikiran John J. McNeill. Kami menyimpulkan bahwa sikap menerima pribadi homoseksual dan menolak tindakan homoseksual merupakan rujukan keputusan moral ad experimentum dalam konteks Keuskupan Agung Jakarta di tahun 2022.

Published: October 2023

Sustainable development can be defined as fulfilling the population's desires without harming the world to the point that the next generations will not have as many opportunities. To help keep this balance, the United States Organization created Agenda 2030 with 17 Sustainable Development Goals. However, the population of this concept has become the main difficulty of modern humanity. So, the present study aims to contribute to the population's social development once educational institutions are seen as a promoter and increasingly aware and capable of understanding and maintaining the necessary balance for the planet's well-being and quality of life. The methodology to be used consists of selecting an explanatory video about the theme and using Kirkpatrick's method. Using interviews, this method analyses the person in four moments: reaction, learning, behaviour, and results. The first two were answered after watching the video, and the others were applied a month apart. On average, there were 40 written responses, which showed improved knowledge of the SDGs. In this way, the development of attitudes and the importance of learning the SDGs showed positive results in the training.

В данной работе приведены два примера построения ядра сечения для цилиндрических стержней, поперечное сечение которых ограничено кривыми линиями. В первом примере кривая ограничивает весь контур поперечного сечения, а во втором примере контур ограничен кривой и прямой линиями. Методика и пример построения ядра сечения непрерывным способом приведены в трех последних источниках библиографического списка. Перед вычислением координат ядра сечения вычисляются геометрические характеристики поперечного сечения. Ввиду того, что поперечное сечение ограничено той или другой кривой линией, заданной аналитически, геометрические характеристики необходимо вычислять непосредственно с помощью интегралов. Для вычисления более сложных интегралов используется [1]. Иногда для вычисления интегралов подынтегральную функцию необходимо раскладывать в степенной ряд. В случае, когда часть поперечного сечения ограничена прямыми линиями, для вычисления координат ядра сечения применяется общепринятый способ – дискретный [2]. В примере 1 данной работы поперечное сечение ограничено обратной тригонометрической функцией, а в примере 2 сечение ограничено показательной функцией и прямой линией. Оба поперечных сечения являются симметричными, что упрощает расчет.

DUKUNGAN PEMERINTAH DALAM PENUMBUHAN SIKAP PETANI TERHADAP IMPLEMENTASI SUBSIDI BUNGA PERTANIAN DI JAWA TENGAH
Authors: Sholikhati Anniyatis
Published: October 2023

In order to support the National Economic Recovery (PEN) program in dealing with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Provincial Government of Central Java provides financial assistance to farmers to increase productivity and welfare of farmers, especially small farmers who have limited land with maximum land area of 1 (one) hectare and provides credit facilitation for commodity cultivation farming (on a farm). This government support is realized in the form of an interest subsidy program for agricultural sector loans to be implemented in 2022.

This paper aims to 1) describe the implementation of the loan interest subsidy program in the agricultural sector between targets, achievements, program technical guidelines, and obstacles in program implementation; 2) analyze the factors of government support in influencing farmers' attitudes towards the loan interest subsidy program and its effect on the empowerment of farmers in Central Java Province. The research method used was a census using a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The research locations were carried out in three districts as pilot project locations for the agricultural sector loan interest subsidy program in Central Java. Respondents are farmers who have received information about the interest subsidy program. The study results show that the support factor of the government has a significant influence on farmers' attitudes toward implementing the interest subsidy program. The author recommends that the government continue to provide adequate support for the interest subsidy program for agricultural sector loans in Central Java. This support can be in the form of providing clear and easy-to-understand information about the program, providing an adequate budget, good cooperation with financial institutions, providing guidance and assistance in program implementation. In addition, the government also needs to improve inter-agency coordination and encourage collaboration between stakeholders to strengthen the interest subsidy program.

Sekitar 49,5% dari Siswa SMA di Kota Bandung memiliki tingkat literasi gizi yang rendah. Di sisi lain, ditemukan juga bahwa pada kebanyakan siswa/i memiliki kebiasaan untuk mengkonsumsi Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSB) atau minuman dengan kandungan gula yang tinggi. Kedua hal ini dapat merupakan faktor resiko yang dapat menuntun kepada banyak penyakit kronis di masa depan. Oleh karena itu tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah berkolaborasi dengan SMA Advent Naripan dan SMA 4 Muhammdiyah untuk meningkatkan literasi gizi dan mengurangi konsumsi SSB. Kegiatan ini telah dilakukan di kedua sekolah tersebut pada tanggal 14 dan 18 November diikuti oleh total 352 siswa. Berdasarkan hasil pretest dan posttest melalui kuesioner yang diberikan kepada partisipan diketahui bahwa siswa/i memiliki peningkatan yang signifikan dalam hal nilai literasi gizi (t319 = 17,727, p < 0.01). Di sisi lain, konsumsi SSB para peserta kegiatan ini memiliki perubahan yang signifikan (Z = -3,508; p < 0,01) dimana 41,9% siswa/i sudah mengurangi konsumsi SSB setiap minggunya. Oleh karena itu dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan ini telah meningkatkan literasi gizi dan juga mengurangi konsumsi SSB pada partisipan yang hadir. Oleh karena itu disarakan juga agar kegiatan seperti ini dapat dilakukan pada sekolah-sekolah lain agar dapat mendidik sisaw/i kepada pola makan yang jauh lebih sehat.
A History of the Virgin Islands of the United States
Authors: Dookhan Isaac
Published: October 2023

The Virgin Islands in the course of centuries have witnessed the coming and going of Ciboney, Arawak and Carib peoples, European discovery by Christopher Columbus, temporary occupation by pirates and adventurers, colonization, commercial and plantation development by Danes and other North European settlers, African slavery and its abolition, American purchase, colonial government, social and political change, and in recent years remarkable tourist and industrial developments. These and other topics have been narrated and interpreted by Dr. Isaac Dookhan in this first comprehensive history of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Dr. Dookhan is eminently well qualified for this undertaking. He was born in the British colony of British Guiana, now independent Guyana, where he was educated in the public schools and served as teacher and headmaster. The author has drawn upon primary and secondary sources in recounting the experience of the Virgin Islands and their peoples. He is concerned with successive waves of immigrants, how they affected the physical environment and cultural life of the islands, the impact of international wars and politics, commodity price movements, and technological changes.
Variation in Synchronic Development of Literature: Mutual Learning
Authors: CAO Yina
Published: October 2023

Abstract: This paper analyzes the processes of cross-lingual, transnational, and crosscultural communication and interaction of world literary classics. The author argues that world literary classics are actually the result of the variation of the exchanges between various
“ethnic” literatures. Comparative literature is essentially a discipline of scholarly study of the synchronic developments of literature and culture. Although scholars have long recognized the perspective of variation in diachronic development, there has been less attention to
variation in synchronic development. The formation of world literary classics is also closely related to the synchronic development of literature. Thus, variation studies in comparative literature not only reveal the perspective of cultural innovation but also find creativity in the variation
of cultural and literary communication as well as innovation in the variation of literary interpretation.
Literary Variation of Indian Buddhist Stories in Chinese (Zhi-guai) Novels
Authors: WEI Guo
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In "Literary Variation of Indian Buddhist Stories in Chinese (Zhiguai) Novels," Wei Guo discusses Buddhist Sutra scriptures which have been a reservoir of inspiration for Zhiguai novels since their first introduction in Chinese literature. Buddhist texts
were less relevant for the "documentary" tradition of Chinese literature owing to their rough structure, vague context, and lack of a sense of history and reality, since they were originally intended as texts of didacticism. Hence, in order to integrate these exotic literary materials
with local aesthetic concepts, Chinese writers explored creative adaptations including the addition of adding detail, linguistic embellishments, and the endowment of each story with specific narrative scenes in terms of character, place, and time. Guo argues that Indian Buddhist stories have
been remolded in Zhiguai novels and transformed from imaginary religious literature into figurative and documentary literature whereby the convergence of the source texts with the target texts shows the processes of formation of world literature(s). Keywords: Buddhist Sutra; Sinicization;
Zhiguai Novel; Mystery and Supernatural in Classical Chinese Literatur
On Variations of the Classical Chinese Literary Genre terminchinesescript (Fu) in Literary History
Authors: ZHUANG Peina , Zhang Jie
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In 'On Variations of the Classical Chinese Literary Genre terminchinesescript (Fu) in Literary History,' the authors analyze the representation of the classical Chinese literary genre Fu, or namely, rhapsode, in Chinese literary histories compiled in English.
A unique classical literary genre, Fu commonly appears in classical Chinese literature as well as in aesthetics and philosophy, thus constituting an important part in Chinese literature in all periods from ancient to contemporary. However, Fu falls outside the quartered-division of modern
western stylistics, so is bound to cause problems in the compilation of a literary history in the Anglophone literary culture, as is the case in Sinology. This paper argues that variations caused in the translation of the name Fu and its configuration set-up in the English context have resulted
in the under exploration of its full meanings in existing relevant studies, which necessitates future research for the sake of substantially changing the peripheral status of Chinese literature in the arena of world literature.

Вступ. Збільшення поширеності хронічних інфекцій сечової системи є важливою медико-соціальною проблемою, і дослідження їх імуногенезу актуально і доцільно для підвищення ефективності лікування хворих.

Мета роботи – визначення стану системного імунітету у хворих на хронічні інфекції сечостатевої системи, в тому числі в разі поєднаного запалення органів сечової системи та малого тазу.

Матеріали і методи. Обстежено 150 хворих на хронічні інфекції сечостатевої системи, в тому числі з хронічним циститом, ускладненим уретральним синдромом (1 гр., n=18), хронічним не- ускладненим циститом (2 гр., n=19), хронічним неускладненим пієлонефритом (3 гр., n=83), хронічним пієлонефритом та запальними захворюваннями органів малого тазу (4 гр., n=30). Отримані результати порівнювали з даними обстеження 63 здорових жінок як референтної групи.

Оцінку клітинної ланки імунітету проводили за допомогою моноклональних антитіл (МКА) до диференціювальних антигенів лімфоцитів CD3, CD4, CD8, CD22 для визначення, відповідно, рівня Т-л, Т-хелперів, Т-супресорів/цитотоксич- них і В-л.

Результати. Виявлено зниження відносного рівня CD4+-л у хворих на хронічні неускладнені цистит та пієлонефрит, підвищення відносного рівня CD8+-л в групі з хронічним пієлонефритом та запальними захворюваннями органів малого тазу, зниження імунорегуляторного індексу CD4+/CD8+ в усіх групах, підвищення концентрації IgA у хворих з циститами, а IgM в усіх групах, крім 1 гр., пацієнти якої мали достовірно високий рівень імунних комплексів крові.

Визначення експресії молекул клітинної адгезії на лімфоцитах периферичної крові за допо-могою непрямого імунофлюоресцентного методу (маркер CD54) продемонструвало достовірне підвищення рівнів ICAM-1+-лімфоцитів, найбільш виражене у пацієнтів з хронічним пієлонефритом порівняно зі здоровими та хворими на хронічний цистит.

Висновки. Виявлено зниження відносного рівня Т-хелперів (СD4+-л) у пацієнтів з хронічним циститом та пієлонефритом, та високий рівень CD8+-клітин крові, що дозволяє вважати активацію цитотоксичних клітин характерною у разі наявності запалення як сечової, так і статевої системи у жінок на тлі високої активації гуморальної ланки з підвищенням середніх рівнів В-л у пацієнтів всіх груп.
Identification of the Time-Varying Ventricular Parameters During the Ejection Phase of the Cardiac Cycle: The Martingale Optimality Principle Approach
Authors: Abutaleb Ahmed S.
Published: October 2023

Physical parameters representing the energy components of the cardiac pump related to inertance, resistance, and compliance are developed. Stochastic calculus and the martingale optimality principle are used to estimate these time-varying parameters. The method is applied to the ejection phase of the cardiac cycle, using pressure and flow measured at the root of the aorta for the left ventricle. Another Malliavin-calculus-based approximate method is also reported. It is numerically tractable with higher accuracy.

Published: October 2023

A Lotka-Volterra commensal symbiosis model with a density dependent birth rate and a Merdan-type Allee effect on the second species has been proposed and examined. The global attractivity of system’s equilibria is ensured by using the differential inequality theory. Our results show that the Allee effect has no effect on the existence or stability of the system’s equilibrium point. However, both species take longer to approach extinction or a stable equilibrium state as the Allee effect increases.

Kanker payudara merupakan salah satu prevalensi kanker tertinggi di dunia bahkan juga di Indonesia. Kanker payudara harus diwaspadai sejak dini dimana dapat dicegah dengan perilaku hidup sehat, rutin melakukan Pemeriksaan Payudara Sendiri (SADARI) oleh diri sendiri dan Pemeriksaan Payudara Klinis (SADANIS) oleh tenaga kesehatan terlatih. SADARI dan SADANIS diharapkan dilakukan secara berkala dengan tujuan menemukan keabnormalan pada payudara sedini mungkin. Menunda deteksi dini akan menjadikan sel kanker berkembang lebih ganas dan mengurangi peluang untuk sembuh. Berdasarkan survei awal dengan kader diperoleh permasalahan kurangnya pengetahuan tentang kanker payudara dan upaya pencegahan serta deteksi dini; terkadang tindakan SADARI sudah dilakukan, akan tetapi cenderung mendiamkan saat mendapatkan adanya benjolan pada payudaranya yang menyebabkan keterlambatan diagnosis sehingga kanker payudara ditemukan dalam stadium lanjut dan akhirnya lebih sulit ditangani, adanya kekhawatiran akan hasil deteksi dini kanker payudara; budaya malu dan tabu. Pelaksanaan untuk mengatasi masalah dengan pemberian pelatihan deteksi dini kanker payudara dengan SADARI dan SADANIS. Kegiatan yang dilakukan meliputi pendekatan kepada mitra, pembuatan media promosi kesehatan, koordinasi dengan kader, pemberian informasi kepada kader melalui pertemuaan offline dengan menerapkan protokol Kesehatan. Luaran adalah peningkatan perilaku deteksi dini kanker payudara sebagai upaya pemberdayaan masyarakat.

Küresel rekabet tüm sektörleri etkisi altına almaya devam etmektedir. Buna paralel olarak hizmet sektörü, özelinde de sağlıkta hizmet kalitesi ve sağlıkta müşteri memnuniyeti ile ilgili beklentiler de hızla artmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, özellikle son çeyrek asırda dünyada sağlıkta kalite ve akreditasyon üzerine çok önemli adımlar atılmıştır. Kalite ve akreditasyonda üst yönetimin liderliğinin süreci doğrudan etkilediği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, uluslararası bir akreditasyon kurumu olan Joint Commission International-JCI’a akredite olmuş Türkiye’deki tüm sağlık kurumları yöneticilerinin hizmet kalitesi üzerine çeşitli boyutlardaki görüşlerinin değerlendirilmesi çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır.

Bu amaç doğrultusunda, nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan tarama türü araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, veri toplama tekniği olarak anket formu seçilmiştir. Görüşmeler yüz yüze ve çevrimiçi anket yöntemi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu oluşturan toplam 289 sağlık kurumu yöneticisine akreditasyonun hizmet kalitesine etkisini, hizmet kalitesine etki eden diğer faktörleri ve katılımcıların demografik özelliklerini belirlemeye yönelik ifadeleri kapsayan anket uygulanmıştır. Anket çalışması ile elde edilen veriler IBM SPSS 23.0 ve IBM AMOS 23.0 paket programları kullanılarak analiz ve test edilmiş olup, araştırma hipotezlerini test etmek için yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılmıştır.

Araştırmanın sonuçlarından hareketle, toplam kalite yönetiminin de bileşenlerinden olan liderlik ve verilerle yönetimin çalışanlarının akreditasyona ilişkin algılarında ve kalite sonuçları üzerinde önemli etkisi olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada da görüleceği üzere yöneticilerin kalite ve akreditasyonun faydalarına yönelik algıları arttıkça sağlık kurumlarında kalite çıktılarının da arttığı görülecektir.

One of the most cost-effective ways to generate electricity is through waterwheels. Because of the need for clean energy and sustainable electricity production, hydropower currently plays an important role in meeting energy demand. Although water wheels were studied academically as early as the eighteenth century, they were mostly ignored until the twentieth century. Only in the last two decades has there been a revived interest in their use among scientists. The researcher came up with this topic to discuss its benefits and how it will be beneficial in our daily lives and make our surroundings safe, which needs enough light and helps the school or park premises lighten up the dark areas at night. Having enough illumination inside the premises of in schools and parks, according to numerous sources and data gathering findings, will help folks become comfortable in the location they are staying or visiting. Good illumination can help with mobility, safety, and security.
CULTURAL MATERIALIST READING: VISUALIZING DOMINANT IDEOLOGIES AND DISSIDENT DISCOURSES IN THE CREATIVE GRAPHIC PANELS OF MUNNU: A BOY FROM KASHMIR
Authors: Selvam Manjula , Mukherjee Sangeeta
Published: October 2023

One of the prominent theories of cultural studies is cultural materialism, which has its base on the theory of Marxism. Much of the research work done regarding cultural materialism is on Renaissance literature; the development of the theory itself is through the studies conducted on the plays of William Shakespeare, who is one of the epitomes of Renaissance literature. This paper aims to be a unique cultural materialist reading done on a graphic novel based on Kashmir, Indian subcontinent. Kashmir is one of the most desired lands on Earth; it has also been a land of contest right from 1947. This article attempts to explore Malik Sajad’s reflection of the Kashmiri society by analyzing and discussing graphic panels from Munnu: A Boy from Kashmir (originally published in 2015) in the light of cultural materialism. Since cultural materialism admits that a text mirrors the socio-cultural and political life of a society; it has been used for interpreting this Kashmir-based graphic novel which is a blend of image and words. This graphic memoir offers a unique narration of the political and societal lives of Kashmiris through the creative deployment of an anthropomorphic metaphor. This study shows how Sajad graphically reflects the dominant ideology and dissident discourses in these panels.

We universally search for evidence of kinematic and spatial correlation of supernova remnant (SNR) and molecular cloud (MC) associations for nearly all SNRs in the coverage of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting CO survey, i.e., 149 SNRs, 170 SNR candidates, and 18 pure pulsar wind nebulae in 1° < l < 230° and −5.°5 < b < 5.°5. Based on high-quality and unbiased 12CO/13CO/C18O (J = 1–0) survey data, we apply automatic algorithms to identify broad lines and spatial correlations for molecular gas in each SNR region. The 91% of SNR–MC associations detected previously are identified in this paper by CO line emission. Overall, there could be as high as 80% of SNRs associated with MCs. The proportion of SNRs associated with MCs is high within the Galactic longitude less than ∼50°. Kinematic distances of all SNRs that are associated with MCs are estimated based on systemic velocities of associated MCs. The radii of SNRs associated with MCs follow a lognormal distribution, which peaks at ∼8.1 pc. The progenitor initial mass of these SNRs follows a power-law distribution with an index of ∼−2.3 that is consistent with the Salpeter index of −2.35. We find that SNR–MC associations are mainly distributed in a thin disk along the Galactic plane, while a small number are distributed in a thick disk. With the height of these SNRs from the Galactic plane below ∼45 pc, the distribution of the average radius relative to the height of them is roughly flat, and the average radius increases with the height when above ∼45 pc.

We conducted an integrative taxonomic study of a forest floor dwelling montane rove beetle Quedius obliqueseriatus Eppelsheim, 1889. It is one of many endemic species of the North-Western Caucasus, a region considered a global biodiversity hotspot. Examination of the morphological characters in 93 specimens of Q. obliqueseriatus and phylogenetic assessment of the COI barcode for 28 of them, revealed that this species in fact consists of two distinct (p-distance of 4.0%) allopatric lineages, western and eastern. They subtly differ in the structure of the aedeagus, which was not noticed in the previous revision of this species. Nuclear DNA markers (H3, ITS1, ITS2, Wg and 28S) sampled in both lineages, did not show any divergence. Variation of the non-genitalic morphological characters, such as body size or coloration, is continuous across both lineages. Discovery of microendemic lineages within an endemic rove beetle species highlights how little is understood about the patterns and drivers of endemism in arthropods of the North-Western Caucasus. We refrained from the description of a new species due to shortage of data from the area where newly discovered western and eastern lineages meet. As Q. obliqueseriatus was found to be largely infected with Wolbachia, we gave a review of this infection among insects and other arthropods and its impact on speciation. Finally, we described our method of removal of the WolbachiaCOI amplicon by endonuclease restriction enzyme in order to get the desired beetle amplicon from infected specimens.

Published: October 2023

Le Video Modeling ( vm ) est une approche validée par l’evidence-based practice qui vise à enseigner des comportements à un sujet en lui permettant de visionner une vidéo d’une personne réalisant une démonstration du comportement cible. Cette méthode a montré son efficacité pour les personnes avec un trouble du spectre de l’autisme ( tsa ), notamment dans le domaine de la communication, du jeu et du comportement adaptatif. Les personnes présentant un trouble du développement intellectuel ( tdi ) peuvent également progresser grâce à ce type d’intervention.
