Authors: Afsar Hina , Gul Maryam , Gul Madeeha , Ullah Muhammad Jawad , Khan Nauman
Published: November 2024

Objective: This study aimed to determine the pattern of a maxillary cleft alveolus in patients from KhyberCollege of Dentistry Peshawar, Pakistan.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery,Iqra National University Peshawar, Pakistan from 2nd February 2022 to 2nd July 2022.Methods: A total of 98 paediatric patients aged from birth to 16 years were chosen using a consecutive nonprobability selection method. Thorough clinical and radiographic investigations were conducted to verify the diagnosis and determine the specific characteristics of the cleft alveolus. The data were examined using R studio, utilising descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, t-tests, and ANOVA.Results: The average age of patients was 0.31 ± 0.32 years. The gender distribution was about equal, with amale-to-female ratio of 1.04:1. The occurrence of unilateral cleft alveolus was considerably higher (83.67%)than that of bilateral cleft alveolus (16.33%). No significant statistical connections were discovered betweenage, gender, and cleft type (P > 0.05). The t-test and ANOVA analyses revealed statistically significant variationsin average ages between unilateral and bilateral cleft types, albeit clinically negligible.Conclusion: The study highlighted the prevalence of clefts on the left side of the face, emphasising theimportance of this information for planning surgeries and allocating resources. Although there are nosignificant demographic connections, the results affirm the need for early intervention and a multidisciplinaryapproach to enhance patient outcomes.

Graph Product Structure for $h$-Framed Graphs
Authors: Bekos Michael A. , Da Lozzo Giordano , Hliněný Petr , Kaufmann Michael
Published: November 2024

Graph product structure theory expresses certain graphs as subgraphs of the strong product of much simpler graphs. In particular, an elegant formulation for the corresponding structural theorems involves the strong product of a path and of a bounded treewidth graph, and allows to lift combinatorial results for bounded treewidth graphs to graph classes for which the product structure holds, such as to planar graphs [Dujmović et al., J. ACM, 67(4), 22:1-38, 2020].
In this paper, we join the search for extensions of this powerful tool beyond planarity by considering the $h$-framed graphs, a graph class that includes $1$-planar, optimal $2$-planar, and $k$-map graphs (for appropriate values of $h$). We establish a graph product structure theorem for $h$-framed graphs stating that the graphs in this class are subgraphs of the strong product of a path, of a planar graph of treewidth at most $3$, and of a clique of size $3\lfloor \frac{h}{2}\rfloor + \lfloor \frac{h}{3}\rfloor -1$. This allows us to improve over the previous structural theorems for $1$-planar and $k$-map graphs. Our results lead to significant progress over the previous bounds on the queue number, non-repetitive chromatic number, and $p$-centered chromatic number of these graph classes, e.g., we lower the currently best upper bound on the queue number of $1$-planar graphs and $k$-map graphs from $115$ to $82$ and from $\lfloor \frac{33}{2}(k+3\lfloor \frac{k}{2}\rfloor -3)\rfloor$ to $\lfloor \frac{33}{2}(3\lfloor \frac{k}{2}\rfloor + \lfloor \frac{k}{3}\rfloor -1)\rfloor$, respectively. We also employ the product structure machinery to improve the current upper bounds on the twin-width of $1$-planar graphs from $O(1)$ to $72$. All our structural results are constructive and yield efficient algorithms to obtain the corresponding decompositions.
On Density Conditions for Transversal Trees in Multipartite Graphs
Authors: Badakhshian Leila , Falgas-Ravry Victor , Sharifzadeh Maryam
Published: November 2024

Let $G$ be an $r$-partite graph such that the edge density between any two parts is at least $\alpha$. How large does $\alpha$ need to be to guarantee that $G$ contains a connected transversal, that is, a tree on $r$ vertices meeting each part in one vertex? And what if instead we want to guarantee the existence of a Hamiltonian transversal?
In this paper we initiate the study of such extremal multipartite graph problems, obtaining a number of results and providing many new constructions, conjectures and further questions.
Keller Properties for Integer Tilings
Authors: Bruce Benjamin , Łaba Izabella
Published: November 2024

Keller's conjecture on cube tilings asserted that, in any tiling of $\mathbb{R}^d$ by unit cubes, there must exist two cubes that share a $(d-1)$-dimensional face. This is now known to be true in dimensions $d\leq 7$ and false for $d\geq 8$. In this article, we propose analogues of Keller's face-sharing property for integer tilings. We construct counterexamples to a ``strong" version of this property, and prove that a weaker version holds for integer tilings under appropriate additional assumptions.
A Stochastic Model for the Impact of Climate Change on Temperature and Precipitation
Authors: Lefebvre Mario
Published: November 2024

The variations from year to year of the monthly average temperatures are modelled as a discrete-time Markov chain. By computing the limiting probabilities of the Markov chain, we can see the impact of climate change on these temperatures. The same type of model is proposed for the variations of the monthly amounts of precipitation. An application to Jordan is presented.
Generalized Ratio Type Estimator under Adaptive Cluster Sampling
Authors: Bhat Arshid Ahmad , Sharma Manish , Shah Mohd Younis , Bhat Mehraj Ud Din
Published: November 2024

The Adaptive Cluster Sample (ACS) sampling design is employed for the evaluation of scarce, concentrated, vulnerable, and complicated population parameters. Generalized ratio type estimator under ACS has been proposed in this paper. The theoretical formulas of the suggested estimator's mean square error is generated up to first order. Using the simulated x- and y-values from Chutiman and Kumphon (2008), the proposed estimator's effectiveness is empirically evaluated with certain known ratio and ACS estimators. Furthermore, the empirical optimum values of p and q are determined. The results indicated that when there is a positive correlation between the study variable and auxiliary variable then the suggested estimate under ACS is a reliable alternative to other estimators.
Normal form and Poincaré compactification of Predator-prey model with Allee Effect in Prey.
Authors: Singh Satyabhan , Kullu Anuj , Priyadarshi Anupam
Published: November 2024

The Allee effect, which describes a positive link between individual fitness and population density, is a key conceptual framework in conservation biology. While the diminishing Allee effect reduces the danger of extinction in lowdensity populations, it also benefits by restricting establishment success or the spread of invading species. Our purpose is to find the normal form and behavior of the equilibrium point at infinity in a predator-prey population dynamics model that takes Allee effects on the prey population. For an explanation of these terms, we use the Rosenzweig-MacArthur model to describe them. We also show the stability of the R-M model and the R-M model with the Allee effect.

Jungmann a čeští gramatici
Authors: Koupil Ondřej
Published: November 2024

The study deals with Josef Jungmannʼs relation to grammar. Part I shows that Jungmann switched from the term mluvník, the purist equivalent of the Latin word grammatica (‘grammarʼ), to the term mluvnice, which had been mainly promoted by Václav Hanka. Part II examines the inspirational sources of Jungmannʼs views on the Czech language (Kopitar, Jahn) and shows that Jungmann changed from a reformer of Czech orthography into an authority opposing changes in Czech orthography. He focused on lexicography and fully recognised the authority of Josef Dobrovský in the field of Czech grammar. Part III observes Jungmannʼs explicit statements about the grammars of the Czech language throughout history. Jungmann respected, for example, the works of Laurentius Benedictus Nudozierinus and Venceslaus Joannes Rosa (both written in Latin). Nevertheless, in his eyes, all historical grammars were surpassed by the grammar of Josef Dobrovský

"You Need Me to Save You": The Fall of Superman and the Death of the American Dream
Authors: Wagstaffe Sarah
Published: November 2024

The most iconic superhero to grace comic book shelves and the silver screen, Superman has long been held as an American icon. Created in 1938, Superman became a symbol of hope, justice, and a pioneer of the American way. In a world on the verge of war, Superman became an ideal to strive for, and always fought for good. However, in the decades that followed, new iterations of Superman began to gain popularity across all forms of media, and these iterations were not always as virtuous. New versions of a ‘Superman’ figure are often created in times of political and social anxiety, with the ‘Superman’ becoming a conduit to express fears and frustrations over a multitude of issues including threats of war, extreme capitalism and consumer culture, and even existential dread. This article prioritises three iterations of superman: Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s original Man of Steel, Alan Moore’s Dr Manhattan (Watchmen), and Garth Ennis’ Homelander (The Boys). Through these, alongside the examination of ideas put forward by James Truslow Adams, Richard Hofstadter and others, this article identifies that Superman and his successors are indicators of public faith in American ideals, and that the current trend shows that this faith is dwindling.
Losing Your Identity: The Repression of Liberties in 21st Century America in Marvel’s Civil War series
Authors: Rodríguez Arnaiz Laura
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT:
The early 21st century witnessed the beginning of a turbulent period in the United States as the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 resulted in the passing of a series of restrictive legislative measures as the only way to guarantee Americans’ protection from possible future attacks. These new policies, however, allowed authorities to violate people’s rights and liberties in the name of national security. Soon after the attacks, these matters reached the pages of literary works—including comic books—as spaces in which to actively engage in a critique of the new U.S. Prominent among these works is Marvel’s Civil War (2006–2007) by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, in which an event mirroring the 9/11 attacks prompts the government to pass an act that cuts the superheroes’ liberties to guarantee the nation’s security. The series presents a world mirroring the present American reality by way of portraying U.S. superheroes as an oppressed minority in order to call Americans to question the course their country is taking after 9/11.
DEUS EX ASTRA
Authors: Tembo Kwasu
Published: November 2024

Jesus of Nazereth, Saint/Archangel Michael and Superman all share a common feature: an uncommon physical resemblance to human beings. Through these anthropic bodies, numerous issues and debates concerning identity, power, leadership, judgement, and service are constantly renegotiated. By performing a close comparative reading of symbolism and iconography used in the depiction of these three figures. This chapter seeks to study the paradoxical depiction of Superman in several comics as a type of triune character/concept in practice: Servant, Saviour, and Sovereign. To achieve this, this chapter will conduct a close comparative analysis reading and comparison of the symbolism and iconography used in the depictions of various classical paintings of Christ and Michael with depictions of Superman from various key moments in both the narrative lives of Christ and Superman.

Published: November 2024

A novel electrochemical sensor for the detection of enrofloxacin (ENR) in aqueous solutions has been developed using a carbon paste electrode modified with a mixture of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of CuBTC and FeBTC. These MOFs were successfully synthesized via a solvothermal method and characterized using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The MOF mixture exhibited a particle size ranging from 40 to 100 nm, a high surface area of 1147 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.544 cm3/g, and a capillary diameter of 1.50 nm. Additionally, energy-dispersive X-ray mapping demonstrated the uniform distribution of the two MOFs within the electrode composition. The synergistic effect of the electrocatalytic properties of CuBTC and the high conductivity of FeBTC significantly enhanced the electrochemical response of ENR, increasing the signal by more than ten times compared to the unmodified electrode. Under optimal analytical conditions, the sensor exhibited three dynamic ranges for ENR detection, that is, 0.005 to 0.100 µM, 0.1 to 1.0 µM, and 1 to 13 µM, with coefficients of determination of 0.9990, 0.9954, and 0.9992, respectively, depending on the accumulation duration. The sensor achieved a low detection limit of 3 nM and demonstrated good reproducibility, with a relative standard deviation of 3.83%. Furthermore, the sensor demonstrated effective performance in analysing tap and lake water samples, with recovery rates ranging from 90.2% to 121.3%.

Peningkatan Peran Serta Tokoh Agama Dalam Pembangunan Berbagai Sektor Kehidupan Di Desa
Authors: Syarif M. , Yaqin Ainul
Published: November 2024

So far, the role of religious figures in the environment has always been anchored in religious roles that are limited to bringing moral messages as well as peace missions in the event of horizontal conflict. It is very rare for religious figures to play an active role in the material development of the village, let alone being actively involved in the village government structure. Until now, the role of these religious figures as part of the village elite has not been explored optimally to boost the pace of the village development process. This community service program aims to increase the role of religious figures in Gayaman village not only limited to religious roles alone, but also have a significant role in material development that involves decision-making at the village structural level. Along with the issuance of Law No. 3 of 2024 junto Law No. 6 of 2016 concerning Villages concerning villages which emphasize the mandatory participation of village communities, the role of these elites becomes very significant, because it is through them that the encouragement for the community to participate in village development is strengthened. This community service program is implemented using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method which involves participation, in this case, religious figures in Gayaman village to take active action for the purpose of social transformation. From this service, it is obtained that the role of these religious figures (as part of the village elite) focuses more on their influence in moral development and only in a small portion they play a role in physical material development policies. It is recommended that the government, both central and regional, can establish stricter regulations in positioning the role of religious figures in the village precisely for the sake of the smooth development itself.
