Forensic Discrimination of White Architectural Paints via ATR FT-IR Spectroscopy and Chemometrics
Authors: Sharma Sweety , Kaur Gurpreet , Nimi Chongtham , Singh Rajinder
Published: September 2024

The present work entailed the comparative examination
and discrimination of white architectural paint samples of different
brands/manufacturers. The analysis of this evidence can
facilitate exhibiting a linkage between the victim, and the crime
scene and assist in the reconstruction of the crime scene. Architectural
paint traces have evidential value, especially in cases
of burglary, acts of vandalism, property crimes, etc. In the
present study, a total of 102 samples of 34 distinct brands (3
samples of each brand) of white commercially available architectural
paints were purchased and analysed using ATR FT-IR
spectroscopy and multivariate analytical tools. The use of visual
analysis of FTIR spectral data resulted in 12 undifferentiated/
indistinguishable sample pairs with a discrimination power of
97.86%. Adding PCA and PLS-DA in concert with visual analysis
of FTIR spectra resulted in 99.4% (3 sample pairs undifferentiated)
and 100% discrimination power, respectively. In conclusion,
samples of each brand were completely differentiated
using ATR FT-IR spectra subjected to the PLS-DA model. To
assess the impact of different substrates on the examination
of paint chips, simulated samples were produced on different
substrates and the obtained results from the substrates study
have been summarized. The ATR-FTIR spectroscopy therefore
suggests an objective and rapid approach for the discrimination
of white architectural paints for forensic purposes.

Authors: Sharda Singh Gaur  , Dr. Uma Shankar Yadav
Published: September 2024

This comparative study delves into the literary works of Easterine Kire, a prominent Naga author, to explore the intricate interplay of history, memory, landscape, and patriarchal ideology in her novels 'A Respectable Woman' and 'A Terrible Matriarchy.' Set against the backdrop of Nagaland, India, these novels provide a nuanced understanding of the socio-cultural dynamics and transformations that have shaped the Naga society. Memory emerges as a central theme, as the study examines how characters in both novels grapple with personal and collective memories, reflecting the broader collective memory of the Naga people. The landscape, both natural and urban, serves as a powerful symbol in Kire's works.
Furthermore, the research investigates the presence of patriarchal ideology in Naga society, analyzing how it influences gender roles and societal expectations. It highlights instances of resistance and empowerment, particularly among female characters, illustrating their agency in challenging oppressive norms. Through a comparative approach, this study uncovers commonalities and differences in how history, memory, landscape, and patriarchal ideology are portrayed in 'A Respectable Woman' and 'A Terrible Matriarchy.' It sheds light on the evolution of Easterine Kire's perspective on these themes and their implications for understanding Naga identity and postcolonial literature. In conclusion, this research contributes to the broader discourse on postcolonial literature, gender dynamics, and cultural preservation. It underscores the significance of literature in capturing the multifaceted facets of Naga history and identity, offering valuable insights into the complexities of a society in transition.

Published: September 2024

A clause in the Companies Act of 2013, mandates that companies allocate two percent of their revenues to the CSR initiatives. The goal of this research is to examine the reasons behind the CSR expenditure gap in India. Following our directions, the sample consisted of 200 respondents who filled out the survey. The survey concluded with a question designed to collect data on the proportion of a company's budget allocated to CSR initiatives. Colleagues participated in the pilot research, and their input was utilized to refine the questionnaire. One of the most significant markers of a company's connection with society is its level of (CSR), even though the CSR effect operations cannot always be quantified in terms of financial allocations. The results suggest that the inclusion of this provision is a sensible move on the part of regulators aiming to increase the social responsibility of businesses.

Published: September 2024

Cognitive psychology is a branch of psychology whereby scientists are motivated to study theunderlying mechanisms of the higher mental processes in human beings. Therefore, to other disciplines,cognitive scientists are interested in understanding human perception, decision-making, attention,problem-solving, thinking, and the development of speech among other mental processes. On the otherhand, the term cognition is derived from ‘cognosco’, which in Latin translates to making decisions,discovering, learning, investigating, studying, or recognizing. However, cognition has been defined bymost scientists as the processes involved in transforming, reducing, elaborating, storing, recovering,and using the sensory signal (input). Generally, cognitive psychology is focused on understanding themental processes of acquiring, processing, and storing information in human beings (Ruisel, 2010, p.268).This research paper discuss the concept of cognitive psychology and its concept as it greatlyaffects the learning power of the human being and play a vital role in educational institutions for thegrowth of students while effective learning processes

BEYOND SURFACE: EXPLORING POLITICS IN CHILDREN’S LITERATURE
Authors: Jyotika  , Singh Swati
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the complex interplay between body politics and children's literature across cultures and time. By analyzing accounts from assorted social and cultural settings and historical periods, the paper validates how these apparently naive stories replicate and form societal standards, outlooks, and power undercurrents associated with the human body. From traditional folk tales to present-day literature, the analysis highlights how children's literature can both strengthen and challenge societal typecasts, endorse body positivity, and sanction young readers to critically participate in cultural representations. The paper also considers the role of neuroscience in understanding how children's brains process and respond to narratives about the body, emphasizing the importance of culturally sensitive and inclusive approaches to children's literature.

PV integrated shipboard MVDC grid with reduced bus voltage ripple
Authors: Radhakrishnan Remna , Chacko Mariamma
Published: September 2024

Integration of renewable energy sources for power generation is a proven solution to reduce the increasing greenhouse gas emissions towards decarbonisation onboard ships. Also, it is easy to integrate a variety of energy sources in an all-electric ship under medium voltage direct current distribution system. In such distribution system, high frequency switching power converters are greatly involved on the source and the load sides, which are massive source of harmonics. In this paper, a grid connected photovoltaic module is designed and paralleled with the generator, as a step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, to take care of the voltage ripple and noise created by the high frequency switching power converters in the system, a shunt direct current electric spring with a control strategy is incorporated. The proposed system eliminates the use of heavy passive filters, commonly used at the rectifier end. MATLAB/Simulink results substantiate that the increased voltage ripple with the inclusion of energy sources and loads, that goes around 10.91% under fully loaded condition, is reduced to 1.27% with the shunt direct current electric spring, hence well within the IEEE 1709 std., which is less than 5%.

Principles of music perception
Authors: Mehr Samuel A
Published: September 2024

Human musicality is supported by two distinct systems of representation: one for tonal perception, which contextualizes pitch input in reference to a hierarchy of tones; and one for metrical perception, which contextualizes temporal input in reference to a hierarchy of rhythmic groupings. The two systems are automatic, encapsulated, early-developing, and are supported by distinct neural correlates. Growing evidence suggests that the systems are human universals. But like speech perception, and unlike several other perceptual systems, they are uniquely human. The systems of tonal and metrical perception form a foundational structure for musicality that, when combined with the processing of other acoustical information (e.g., timbre, auditory scenes), and applied in conjunction with other cognitive domains, yields a human psychology of music.

New potentially invasive species in the flora of Croatia - Diospyros virginiana L. (common persimmon)
Authors: Marić Mara , Žeravica Domagoj Ivan , Paladin Soče Ivana , Vitasović-Kosić Ivana
Published: September 2024

During field research conducted from 2022 to 2023 on the island of Koločep, near the city of Dubrovnik, the spontaneous emergence of the non-native species Diospyros virginiana L. (common persimmon) was observed outside its primary cultivation area. This ornamental plant is part of the park dendroflora. D. virginiana began appearing spontaneously on the eastern side of the road between the two main settlements of the island, Gornje Čelo and Donje Čelo. It has established itself in an agricultural habitat within an abandoned olive grove covering an area of about 2900 m2. The plot, no longer under cultivation, is predominantly covered with ruderal and weedy vegetation, featuring an herbaceous ground layer identified as Dauco majori-Foeniculetum vulgaris. In this area, D. virginiana attains an average height of 1 to 2 meters, enveloping and suppressing the remaining Olea europaea L. trees. The plant spreads vegetatively and possesses a robust root system extending laterally for several meters, completely covering the area. Additionally, it has grown into a dry stone wall structure along the road. According to the author's proposal, it was recently entered in the FCD as 2.1.1.3, a potentially invasive species, to provide a basis for future monitoring. Considering its invasive potential and the environmental damage it may cause, the authors suggest the eradication of the species from the area before it spreads to surrounding regions.

Assessment Challenges of Echogenic Breast Lesions
Authors: Romanova Nina
Published: September 2024

An echogenic breast mass is defined as a hyperechoic lesion compared with subcutaneous adipose tissue at ultrasonography (US). This is in accordance with the US lexicon of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) of the American College of Radiology. Although most echogenic solid breast masses identified on ultrasound imaging are benign, hyper-echogenicity alone does not exclude malignancy. Approximately 0.5% of malignant breast lesions appear echogenic. Therefore, upon finding a solid, echogenic mass on ultrasound, it is important to correlate with the mammographic findings to decide on the necessity of a biopsy. The case reports in this paper confirm that similar-looking masses on ultrasound imaging can have a different diagnosis.

Published: September 2024

Cholangiocarcinoma and primary hepatic lymphoma are both rare primary liver neoplasms that are diagnostically challenging and that, in the case described here, prove the importance of differential diagnoses.

A 49-year-old woman with classic symptoms of cholecystitis presented for an abdominal ultrasound examination. She underwent multiple imaging tests that all seemed to point to a diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. Through biopsy, she was proven to have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the liver. A lack of any lymphadenopathy indicated that this might be a rare case of primary hepatic lymphoma. Although her management and outcome were not known at the time of this writing, the prognosis for lymphoma is much better than for cholangiocarcinoma. This case is important for sonographers because ultrasonography is typically the modality of choice for investigating right upper quadrant pain and other common symptoms of both cholangiocarcinoma and lymphoma in the liver. This case also underlines the importance of considering a differential diagnosis for unusual liver lesions as it has a huge impact on patient management and outcome. Additionally, this case represents a rare diagnosis of primary hepatic lymphoma. The ultrasonographic appearance of primary and secondary lymphomas in the liver is discussed.
Pitfalls of Sonography of the Shoulder
Authors: Li Tony
Published: September 2024

Shoulder ultrasound is a well-defined and reliable procedure with high sensitivity and specificity performed by sonographers who have an in depth knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. However, the heavily operator-dependent musculoskeletal ultrasound examination predisposes some pitfalls for the sonography of the shoulder. False positive or false negative findings causing incorrect evidence for diagnosis can occur when sonographers are not aware of some of the pitfalls encountered when scanning a shoulder. This article discusses common pitfalls encountered during the shoulder ultrasound exam, with discussion from the aspects of pathology, ultrasound techniques, analysis of the mistakes and some strategies to avoid the pitfalls based on our experiences and literature review.
A Rare Case of Skeletal Muscle Métastasés from Primary Lung Carcinoma
Authors: Singh Erwin
Published: September 2024

Metastases from any cancer to skeletal muscle are uncommon and metastatic deposits to skeletal muscle from a primary lung malignancy are exceedingly rare. This study is a presentation of a skeletal muscle metastatic deposit in the gluteus maximus from a primary lung carcinoma in a 63-year-old male. At the time, the patient had no symptoms of lung carcinoma and was referred to our clinic for right hip pain to rule out osteoarthritis and/or bursitis. The documentation of the gluteal mass led to the discovery of the lung carcinoma. This case study presents the clinical and ultrasound findings and the sequential diagnostic workup. Furthermore, this study will discuss the rarity of skeletal muscle metastases, the resistance of skeletal muscle to metastatic deposits, the management and treatment of these lesions, and the use of ultrasound in these types of cases. The literature on skeletal muscle metastases from lung carcinoma is scarce and the aim of this case study is to add to that small breadth of knowledge.
Ultrasound of the Neonatal Spine
Authors: Tchorni Justyna
Published: September 2024

Ultrasound of the lower neonatal spine can be encountered rarely or frequently depending on the institution. It is imperative that the sonographer performing the examination have sound understanding of the anatomy, the pathologies they could potentially encounter, and how ultrasound is used to evaluate them. Scan techniques, normal anatomy, anomalies, and the most common pathologies are discussed to provide a concise introduction to performing ultrasounds of the neonatal spine. Ultrasound is a valuable tool in evaluating the neonatal spine, as it can be done within the first few hours of life and has no adverse effects. Accompanied with in-depth understanding of the neonatal spine, ultrasound is an excellent first line of imaging.
Using a Positive Psychology Lens to Understand How Veterinary Medicine Learning Contexts Promote Student Thriving and Inhibit Frustration
Authors: McDavid Lindley , San Miguel Sandra F.
Published: September 2024

To develop a veterinary workforce equipped for long-term professional success, educational institutions must prioritize their students’ well-being. Most approaches focus on building assets within the individual, like stress management, to limit negative outcomes, like burnout. Our research proposes a positive psychology-based model of student thriving that instead emphasizes the pervasive role of the social climate within a context. Basic Psychological Needs Theory (BPNT) posits that social relationships at the institutional, faculty and staff, and peer levels will promote student thriving and limit frustration through the satisfaction or frustration of the three psychological needs of competence, autonomy, and relatedness. Veterinary medical students across the United States ( N = 202) completed a survey, and we used structural equation modeling to test how their institution's social climate predicted positive student outcomes (i.e., hope and life satisfaction) and a negative outcome (i.e., burnout) mediated by psychological need satisfaction and frustration. Students’ perceptions of positive aspects of their institution's social climate ubiquitously predicted each variable in the model. Overall, the model positively predicted psychological need satisfaction ( R2 = .44), hope ( R2 = .67) and life satisfaction ( R2 = .51), and negatively predicted psychological need frustration ( R2 = .34) and burnout ( R2 = .87). Findings emphasize the role veterinary medicine peers, faculty, and staff play in creating learning environments that support student thriving while limiting their frustration. By leveraging the interpersonal qualities posited by BPNT's parent theory, self-determination theory, veterinary medical colleges can build a culture of student support that benefits all within their system.
Sobre fórmulas de tratamiento en el Perú actual. Un análisis de Y de repente, un ángel, de Jaime Bayly
Authors: Arrizabalaga Lizarraga Carlos
Published: September 2024

La expresión de la cortesía en las lenguas está muy ligada a los cambios en la vida social. El presenta trabajo pretende indagar sobre las fórmulas de tratamiento empleadas en el Perú actual desde la hipótesis de que suponen cierto correlato respecto de la transformación ocurrida en la sociedad peruana en las últimas décadas, ya que son expresión clara de la estructura social (Escandell, 2013, p. 144). Toma como objeto de análisis una novela reciente en la que se manifiesta la relación de desigualdad entre una empleada doméstica y su empleador, así como el reflejo de la transformación social en el empleo distinto de las fórmulas de tratamiento entre ellos y distintos personajes de una novela de Jaime Bayly (Lima, 1965), manifestando la desaparición de fórmulas como niño, patrón, patroncito y la extensión de joven en oposición complementaria con señor.
Determining the type of explosive item using a decision tree

Published: September 2024

The present circumstances in Ukraine delineate specific areas of study. The imperative to identify an explosive device is increasingly paramount for adults and particularly for children. Failing to recognize this danger poses a threat to health and life. The paper presents a decision tree method for classifying the type of explosive objects. This allows you to draw conclusions about the type of explosive object hidden depending on the type of soil. This problem is relevant, as it allows to reasonably explain the type of danger depending on various external factors. The paper offers a general representation of the construction of a decision tree for determining the type of explosive objects. In addition, the work provides a visualization of the division into nodes for a visual representation of the construction of a decision tree, taking into account the division into subtrees and nodes. The nodes are the main attributes: voltage, sensor height above ground level, soil type. The decision tree construction algorithm and the structural block diagram of the ID3 algorithm are given. A study was conducted based on who was chosen to measure the entropy decision tree split chaos. The main characteristics of the ID3 algorithm were listed, taking into account the subject area in which it is used. The paper presents one of the built decision trees, which was built as part of research to determine the type of explosive object depending on the possible type of soil, for example, it is dry and sandy soil. Moreover, the paper provides a comparative analysis of the decision tree model against existing methodologies, shedding light on its efficacy, accuracy, and potential advancements in enhancing threat detection capabilities. This comprehensive analysis not only showcases the model's strengths but also offers insights into potential areas for refinement and improvement
