Authors: Chen Jingyi , Wang Shikai
Published: January 2025

This paper introduces a deep reinforcement learning approach for optimizing network-on-chip layout verification and route optimization. The proposed method addresses the challenges of increasing design complexity and traditional verification limitations in modern VLSI circuits. A novel three-headed policy gradient network architecture is developed to handle layout verification and routing optimization tasks simultaneously. The framework integrates feature extraction networks for topology analysis, policy networks for decision-making, and value networks for performance evaluation. The system employs a complex-valued reinforcement learning model to capture both spatial and temporal dependencies in NoC designs. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements across multiple performance metrics: a 23.4% reduction in average packet latency, a 23.6% increase in network throughput, and a 20.8% decrease in power consumption compared to conventional methods. The verification accuracy achieves 98.7% with a false positive rate below 0.5%. The framework maintains consistent performance across various network sizes and traffic patterns, demonstrating robust scalability and practical applicability in real-world chip designs. Implementation results on ISPD 2005 benchmarks validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, showing superior performance in both verification accuracy and optimization efficiency compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.

ECOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS IN MAMANG DAI'S POETRY
Authors: Kaur Gurjit
Published: January 2025

The intimate and intricate relationship between the indigenous communities of the Northeast and the natural world especially in the wake of modernity has often been a core concern in the poetry of almost all the North-Eastern poets, and Mamang Dai, an influential poet, novelist, and environmentalist from Arunachal Pradesh, India, is a no exception in this regard. Her lyrical, vivid and evocative portrayals of nature infuse an ecological consciousness that underscores harmony between human beings and the environment of the land. It is this ecological consciousness in Mamang Dai’s poetry that this paper intends to explore, analyzing how her work reflects a deep sense of place, cultural identity, and environmental activism. By examining her key poems, the paper argues that Dai's poetry offers an alternative ecological vision rooted in indigenous knowledge systems, spirituality, and the profound interconnectedness of all living beings. In doing so, Mamang Dai’s poetry not only contributes to the discourse of environmentalism but also challenges the anthropocentric narratives that often dominate contemporary ecological thought.
EXPLORING THE DIVIDE: MODERNITY AND PRIMITIVISM IN ARUN JOSHI’S ‘THE STRANGE CASE OF BILLY BISWAS’
Authors: Tyagi Indu
Published: January 2025

This research paper examines the thematic tension between modernity and primitivism in Arun Joshi's The Strange Case of Billy Biswas, focusing on the protagonist's quest for self-discovery and spiritual regeneration. The novel criticizes post-independence Indian society's moral and cultural decay, juxtaposing the superficial materialism of urban elites with the spiritual authenticity of tribal life. Billy Biswas, disillusioned with modern civilization, abandons its artificiality in favor of a primitive existence that restores his sense of purpose and connection with nature. The story vividly depicts his transformation, revealing both the hollowness of modernity and the redemptive power of primal values. Joshi's juxtaposition of the civilized world with tribal innocence serves as a profound meditation on identity, existential alienation, and the search for authenticity in a mechanized world.

Published: January 2025

Mining activities, whether industrial or artisanal, are often responsible for the pollution of water resources, leading to significant degradation of water quality. This study aims to assess the quality of surface waters in three out of the four provinces of the South-Western region of Burkina Faso, an area known for its numerous mining sites. To evaluate the water quality in the study area and to assess the importance of each parameter in influencing this quality, we applied Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Indices (WAWQI) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis. These analyses were based on data obtained from the measurement of various physicochemical parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate) and heavy metals (total iron, manganese, lead, cadmium, chromium, copper, zinc, arsenic) collected at the end of 2020. Samples were taken from a variety of sources: four rivers and five reservoirs. This approach provided a comprehensive assessment of the surface water quality in the study area.

The results indicated that, of the twenty parameters analysed, only total iron consistently exceeded the World Health Organization (WHO) standards across all samples, while bicarbonate exceeded the standard in three instances and calcium-phosphate in one. The water quality index values ranged from 8.18 to 165.85, with an average of 46.84. Only one river sampling point, situated at the Poni province (SW4 at Poniro River), exhibited "poor" water quality, while all other water bodies exhibited water quality ranging from "good" to "excellent." The dendrogram analysis confirmed this finding by showing that total iron is separated from the other parameters, highlighting its negative role in the deterioration of water quality, whereas the other parameters play a positive role.

Published: January 2025

This article focuses on examining structur contributions in the community and the participation of local actors in maintaining religious harmony in Kuala Tungkal. This article uses qualitative research methods, data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted by following the stages: data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. This article finds that the contribution of the structural approach in maintaining religious harmony is inseparable in managing religious harmony. Structures in society, religious organizations, religious institutions, pesantren, and the government have become systemic networks that can collaborate in social work, especially maintaining religious harmony. This can be maintained if there are local actors who have power and interest in religious harmony. Local actors become an important and strategic consideration as a figure and are considered a person who practices religious teachings and can be a role model for their worshipers. Therefore, this article concludes that the elite-structural approach is not relevant if it is only carried out separately, but must involve local non-structural actors who have complementary roles in mobilizing society and peacemaking.

A Quasi-Poisson Item Response Theory Model for Heterogeneous Dispersion in Count Data
Authors: Qiao Xin , Potgieter Cornelis
Published: January 2025

Item-level count data frequently arise in cognitive, educational, and psychological assessments. Correctly handling different dispersion levels in count data is crucial for accurate statistical inference. This research proposes a Quasi-Poisson item response theory model that accommodates overdispersion, underdispersion, and equidispersion in count data, aiming to explicitly model the connection between the mean and variance parameters, providing a method that is both computationally efficient and statistically robust. This semiparametric model specifies the first two conditional moments for the count variables and derives marginal moments to estimate model parameters. Simulation studies demonstrate the Quasi-Poisson model’s efficacy in parameter recovery across different dispersion scenarios and its negligible computation time. Empirical data analysis further underscores the model’s superior fit and computational efficiency in a real-world setting.
