Osteology and Emended Diagnosis of Cherninia denwai along (Capitosauridae) from the Denwa Formation, Satpura Gondwana Basin, Central India
Authors: Chakravorti Sanjukta , Roy Pummy , Sengupta Dhurjati Prasad
Published: August 2024

The Middle Triassic Denwa Formation located within the Satpura Gondwana basin of Central India exhibits a significant presence of temnospondyl amphibians classified under the family Capitosauridae. Prior investigations have documented two taxa of the Capitosauridae, namely Cherninia denwai and Paracyclotosaurus crookshanki, from the Denwa Formation. These prior accounts were predominantly predicated upon two holotype skull specimens, thereby neglecting numerous paratype specimens contained within the collection as well as various associated post-cranial materials. Recently, a diverse assortment of novel specimens pertaining to C. denwai has been unearthed from the Denwa Formation. Utilizing both the newly acquired specimens and previously overlooked specimens, this study presents an amended diagnosis of C. denwai. The newly discovered specimens comprise a partial skull, a mandible, clavicles, interclavicles, vertebrae, neural arches and spines, ulnae, an ilium, a femur, and a fibula, all of which are described herein for the first time. An extensive osteological analysis of the skull and mandible has been conducted. It has been determined that C. denwai coexists temporally with C. megarhina, and both taxa exhibit distinct osteological traits; however, they are recognized as separate and unique species.
Graphene oxide for integrated nonlinear optical chips
Authors: Moss David
Published: August 2024

Integrated photonic devices operating via optical nonlinearities offer a powerful solution for all-optical information processing, yielding processing speeds that are well beyond that of electronic processing as well as providing the added benefits of compact footprint, high stability, high scalability, and small power consumption. The increasing demand for high-performance nonlinear integrated photonic devices has facilitated the hybrid integration of novel materials to address the limitations of existing integrated photonic platforms, such as strong nonlinear optical absorption or an inadequate optical nonlinearity. Recently, graphene oxide (GO), with its large optical nonlinearity, high flexibility in altering its properties, and facile fabrication processes, has attracted significant attention, enabling many hybrid nonlinear integrated photonic devices with improved performance and novel capabilities. This paper reviews the applications of GO to nonlinear integrated photonics. First, an overview of GO’s optical properties and the fabrication technologies needed for its on-chip integration is provided. Next, the state-of-the-art GO nonlinear integrated photonic devices are reviewed, together with comparisons of the nonlinear optical performance of different integrated platforms incorporating GO. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of this field are discussed.
Values in psychological network systems compared across groups
Authors: Stanciu Adrian
Published: August 2024

According to theory, there is a finite set of existential questions from which a finite set of values as ideals of living derive and are available to people across cultures and history. Drawing on a psychological network approach, this paper revisits this universality principle in human values proposing that wellbeing is a proxy for (un)resolved existential questions. I argue that value motivational goals form together with wellbeing a psychological system structured as a network of dynamically interconnected cognitive and emotional reactions (value systems in short). The present research examined value systems informed in three value theories measured in four representative surveys in Germany between 2012-2014. I argued that demographic groups based on age, gender and education attainment face group specific challenges to wellbeing thus they experience existential questions differently. I compared value systems across these demographics in view of local and global network characteristics. Results highlight that specific value motivational goals are central in the value systems of each group in addition to uncovering novel insights into dynamics amongst value motivational goals and unique associations with wellbeing. The present findings emphasize the contextual embedding of human values, both at a meta-theoretical level and in view of desirable enabling contexts.

Understanding student perceptions on the use of generative AI tools in UK Higher Education
Authors: Cabrera-Arnau Carmen
Published: August 2024

This work investigates students' perceptions of generative AI (GAI) as a tool for coursework completion and its broader impact on learning in higher education (HE). With the increasing integration of GAI in everyday tasks, its potential to transform the learning experience has gained significant attention. However, concerns have been raised relating to the use of GAI as a threat to academic integrity, the lack of accuracy of its outputs, and its potential influence on critical engagement in learning. While HE institutions in the UK have warned against the unregulated use of AI-generated content, the prevailing approach is to guide students in the ethical and transparent use of GAI tools. This research, based on primary data from a questionnaire involving undergraduate and postgraduate students across several UK HE institutions, aims to explore student perspectives on issues such as plagiarism, reliability, and the impact of GAI on the learning process. The findings show that students who identify as men report a higher frequency of GAI usage than women and that international students have more liberal standards regarding academic integrity compared to their UK counterparts.
Macrodiscontent Across Countries

Published: August 2024

Public discontent with the political system has become an increasingly salient concern in recent years, with the argument that it undermines democratic stability and effective governance. Nevertheless, the understanding of the nature, trends, and drivers of political discontent remains debated, largely reflecting the constraints from available survey data and items in the construction of measurement. This article takes advantage of the state-of-the-art latent-variable modeling to aggregat survey responses and a comprehensive collection of survey data to generate dynamic comparative estimates of public political discontent (PPD) for over a hundred countries over the past four decades. These PPD scores are validated with responses to the individual source-data survey items that were used to generate them as well as the democratic evaluation survey item that was not used in our estimation. Next, a cross-national and longitudinal analysis of PPD in advanced democracies (i.e., OECD countries) highlights that public political discontent has been on a rising trend, rather than merely “trendless fluctuations” as (Norris 2011) claimed. Our results reveal that these increased discontents are largely attributable to worsening economic conditions, including low average income, slow growth, and high unemployment rates.

Authors: Sapkota Liladhar
Published: August 2024

This study has empirically examined the relationship between the foreign aid and economic growth of the nation from the evidence of Nepal. The GDP has considered as proxy variable for economic development and independent variables are official developmental assistance (ODA), and capital formation (CF). This study has empirically analyzed the time series data since 1975 to 2011. Firstly, the stationarity has tested to find out whether the data are stationary or not. The data found non-stationary and the data are transferred into stationary. Then further regression analysis has done considering lnGDP as dependent variable and natural log of official development assistance and natural log of capital formation as independent variable. The model does not incorporate multicollinearity, heteroskedas city, and autocorrelation problem. The result found that there is negative relationship between GDP and ODA but positive relationship between capital formation and GDP. In nutshell there is negative relationship between foreign aid and economic growth of the nation, which is consistent with all the previous studies and contrasts with Anis C., and Iman S. (2005).

Authors: Saki Kamala , Dangol Bhuwan Kumari
Published: August 2024

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Patients diagnosed with CAD face major physical and emotional challenges. Identifying stress among CAD patients can reduce the negative effects of illness perception, decrease adherence and complications by preventing numerous morbidities. The objective of study was to assess the stress levels and coping measures among CAD patients. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was chosen. Non-probability purposive sampling method was used to collect data among 376 CAD patients from outpatient department of Manmohan Cardiothoracic vascular and Transplant Center (MCVTC). Data was collected from 7th August to 9th September 2022, through a structured interview questionnaire using standardized tools consisting of the Perceived Stress Scale and Brief Cope scale. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 16, through descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics tests. In this study, 1.1% of CAD patients had low stress, 90.7% had moderate stress, and 8.2% had severe stress. Regarding coping measures, the most used coping measures were problem-focused coping measures with a median percent (75%) and 96.3% of CAD patients adopted adaptive coping. While there was a statistically significant between stress and duration of illness (p=.009) and frequency of hospitalization (p=.049) overall coping had a positive correlation with stress (r=0.157, p=.002). This study concluded that a moderate level of stress was prevalent among majority of CAD patients. Improving coping measures can help CAD patients to minimize stress. Thus, finding suggest that health personnel need to address coping measures to overcome from stress among CAD patients.

Published: August 2024

Background: Tubercular sialadenitis is an uncommon condition of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. It is responsible for fatal infections and ailments caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Due to diverse non-specific symptoms, it is often misdiagnosed as a form of parotid gland neoplasm. This diagnostic dilemma poses a challenge to medics, especially in a low-income setting of a developing country.
Case presentation: We discuss a case of parotid salivary tuberculosis in a 25-year-old man who was scanned via a high-frequency 7.0 MHz transduced ultrasound scan and later verified histologically. On examination, bilateral submandibular and parotid bulges along the lateral neck region with marked lymphadenopathy were found. Sonography diagnosed him with a case of submandibular gland tuberculosis and confirmed bacteriologically by mycobacterial culture.
Conclusion: Staining for AFB, biopsy and culture studies are necessary and recommended. Establishing a cure requires high awareness, suspicion and early diagnosis.

Published: August 2024

Ensuring high-quality educational experiences for students requires understanding their perspectives of the learning environment. However, studies examining gender differences in perceptions are limited. This study employed a cross-sectional survey design using the validated DREEM instrument. A sample of 131 students rated domains like learning, teaching, achievement and atmosphere. Students reported moderately positive overall views. Mean ratings ranged from 3.46-3.81 on a 5-point scale, indicating aspects were generally favorable while some opportunities for improvement also emerged. However, females expressed slightly more favorable opinions than males across domains. The findings provide valuable insights into People's Campus' learning environment. Addressing gaps through evidence-based initiatives focused on gender equity can help optimize outcomes for all students. Regular assessments maintaining responsiveness to evolving student needs are recommended. This research contributes novel local data evaluating student experiences and potential disparities through a gender lens.

Introduction. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease. The rectum and colon are the main affected areas of the gastrointestinal tract. However, an involvement of extraintestinal organs, especially the liver, is increasingly being reported and described. The incidence of some forms of liver lesions is statistically higher in patients with ulcerative colitis than in general population. However, morphological changes in the liver in experimental ulcerative colitis still remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to create an experimental mouse model of ulcerative colitis using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) and morphological assessment of changes in the hepatobiliary area. Materials and methods. The study was performed on female C57BL/6 mice. The experimental model is based on the use of different concentrations of DSS and different lengths of time. The objects of the study were the liver and large intestine. Results. Morphological changes in the liver in DSS-induced ulcerative colitis include focal hepatitis with vacuolar degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes, bile duct reaction, diffuse and focal lymphocytic/macrophage infiltration. To a lesser extent, bile stasis, erythrostasis and fibrosis were noted. The intensity and scale of inflammatory infiltration, dystrophic, apoptotic and necrotic changes in the liver correspond to the severity and scale of colitis. Conclusion. Morphological changes in the liver in an experimental model of ulcerative colitis can be considered secondary to colitis. These secondary liver changes are caused by colonic dysbiosis, intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction, translocation of lipopolysaccharides, possibly, bacteria, and associated inflammatory/oxidative damage to hepatocytes. Direct hepatocellular DSS citotoxicity may also play a role. DSS-induced hepatic changes in experimental ulcerative colitis may serve as a model of liver injury in human ulcerative colitis.

Authors:   Ukrainian National Forestry University, Karashetsky Volodymyr , Yarkun Volodymyr ,   Ukrainian National Forestry University
Published: August 2024

The article describes a clear algorithm for forming a system of nonlinear algebraic equations from the condition of the minimum of the functional to calculate the temperature distribution inside the three-dimensional domain filled with hysteresis-free nonlinear anisotropic environments. The boundary value problem of calculating the three-dimensional stationary potential temperature field is formulated. The finite element model for calculating the temperature distribution inside a three-dimensional domain filled with hysteresis-free nonlinear anisotropic environments is built. Basic formulas of the finite element method for the boundary value problem of calculating three-dimensional stationary potential thermal fields in domains filled with hysteresis-free nonlinear anisotropic environments with using Lagrangian tetrahedrons 1– 4 orders as finite elements and cubature formulas of numerical integration over the volume of the Lagrangian tetrahedron are derived. The algorithm determining the contribution of each finite element to the vector of residuals and matrix Jacobi nonlinear system of equations solved by Newton’s method using the elements of the tensor of the differential thermal conductivity of the environment was considered. The cubature formula of numerical integration over the volume of the Lagrangian tetrahedron based on the interpolation complete polynomial for the Lagrangian finite element of the first order was applied. This algorithm is suitable when using Lagrangian finite elements of the second, third, and fourth orders with the use of the corresponding cubature formulas for numerical integration over the volume of the Lagrangian tetrahedron. Formulas for calculating tensors of differential thermal conductivity for non-linear isotropic and linear environments are given. The boundary conditions of Dirichlet (first kind), Neumann (second kind), third and fourth kind and their consideration are described.
SYSTEM OF DOUBLE-WAVE LASER DIAGNOSTICS OF THE MAMMARY GLANDS BY POLARIZATION MAPPING OF IMAGES OF BLOOD PLASMA FILMS
Authors:   Vinnytsia National Technical University, Zabolotna Natalia , Sholota Vladyslava ,   Vinnytsia National Technical University
Published: August 2024

Well-known systems and methods of polarization mapping of blood plasma films make it possible to record tumor changes in the mammary glands at the stages of preclinical development, which are not characteristic of other diagnostic technologies. This happens due to the high sensitivity of the polarization parameters of the object field to changes in the anisotropic structure of blood plasma proteins that occur in the early stages of the disease. However, measurements at only one wavelength of laser radiation limit the potential possibilities of laser polarimetry methods to increase the reliability of mammary gland diagnostics. At the same time, the current level of information technology development creates all the possibilities for the application of intellectual analysis and the introduction of decision-making support methods into such systems. The material of the article is devoted to the improvement of the method of mapping azimuths and ellipticities of polarization images of blood plasma films in the mammary gland diagnostic system by means of measurement and analysis at two wavelengths of 0.638 μm and 0.405 μm. The improved architecture of the system of two-wave laser diagnostics of mammary glands and the structure of the algorithmic software, into which a decision support subsystem is introduced, are given. An experimental study of two groups of blood plasma film samples taken from healthy women (group 1 - 35 samples) and from women with breast cancer (group 2 - 35 samples) was conducted. Statistical estimates of coordinate distributions and autocorrelation functions of azimuths and ellipticities of polarization of blood plasma films taken from women of group 1 and group 2 were determined at two wavelengths. Among them, the most sensitive to changes in the physiological state of the mammary glands were chosen as informative signs. Fuzzy models of decision rules have been developed based on established informative features at two wavelengths. The reliability of the two-wave method of diagnosing pathological conditions of the mammary glands in the improved system was evaluated. In comparison with analogs, an increase in the reliability of diagnosis was achieved by 4% and 3%, respectively.
OVERVIEW OF SECURE ACCESS TO DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM RESOURCES

Published: August 2024

Abstract. The Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for translating server's IP address into a domain name, enabling an end user to access a resource without having to remember it’s IP address. This protocol is the basis of the modern Internet, but all messages between the client and the server pass through an unprotected communication channel, which makes it vulnerable to various types of attacks (Spoofing, Eavesdropping, Phishing and others). To overcome this problem, DNSSEC (DNS Secure), DoT (DNS over TLS) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH) protocols were developed. The last one was the most effective. DoH encrypts DNS traffic between the client and the server and also guarantees data integrity and confidentiality. This creates a problem in the correct recognition of DoH traffic. The article will describe research tools for detecting and analyzing malicious DNS traffic based on traffic analyzers and machine learning methods. Comprehensive methods for overcoming threats will be proposed and comparative characteristics of DNS security protocols will be presented. Thus, there is a need to apply a hybrid method of investigating malicious DNS traffic based on the combined use of traffic analyzers, machine learning, and human expertise to obtain statistical data. And that is why this topic of research is relevant, insufficiently researched in terms of the security of domain structures. This work is dedicated to the further development and research of DNS technology using encryption protocols and identification and analysis of malicious traffic, based on machine learning algorithms.

Understanding Digital Narratives of Black Girlhood Through Social Media Aesthetics
Authors: Nashid Laila
Published: August 2024

Today, Black girls use social media, including TikTok, as sites for storytelling and for creating their own self-definitions. In this article, I address the question of how Black girls use social media aesthetics to construct digital narratives about their Black girlhoods. To do so, by analyzing a case study of TikToks, I explore the rise of the Soft Black Girl aesthetic and its connections to larger, white-dominated aesthetics, such as Cottagecore. Furthermore, I trace the political implications of social media sub-aesthetics that Black girls create, as well as how such sub-aesthetics are used to both deconstruct stereotypes pertaining to the adultification of Black girls and disengage from whiteness in online spaces.

Published: August 2024

This study investigated testosterone and cortisol levels on mood states among university male basketball players who had been preparing themselves for the intervarsity competition 2023-2024. The researcher selected 24 players from the University of the Punjab, Lahore, and Government College University Lahore n=12 each, aged between 19 to 25 years. Psychological states were evaluated using the Profile of Mood States(POMS) after matches, while aerobic fitness was assessed using the Cooper Test, which correlates with testosterone levels and POMS parameters. The results revealed that the winners had a considerably higher level of testosterone, while cortisol levels were diminished.

Authors: Nuryanti Shafira Eka , Wulung R.B. Seno
Published: August 2024

This research intends to detect the existence of uncontrolled quality control in plastic injection molding companies, with refrigerator lamp cover products. Quality control is conducted using the statistical quality control (SQC) method with tools such as check sheets, histograms, and control charts. Check sheets and histograms were used to make it easier to present the data for further analysis. Furthermore, a control chart was used to detect whether the cacative product was still under statistical control or not. The result of the analysis using the p control chart indicated that there was a production process in an uncontrolled state on the 11th day of the production process. The x-chart and R-chart control charts didn't need to be revised because the production was still within the control limits. Therefore, Cp values = 0.3665<1.33 and Cpk = 0.2819<1.33 indicate that the company’s process capability is not good. Therefore, it is suggested that the company take immediate action to solve the problem. By utilizing this research, the injection molding company can take preventive and corrective action in the early stages.

Digitalna antropologija: Kako komunikacija u digitalnom okruženju utječe na čovjeka?
Authors: Valković Jerko
Published: August 2024

Digitalni mediji nisu samo sredstva koja omogućavaju bržu i učinkovitiju komunikaciju, već u njima prepoznajemo novi komunikacijski prostor, nove komunikacijske paradigme, što sve utječe na oblikovanje novih načina komunikacije. Te promjene, koje treba promatrati u širem kontekstu postmodernoga okruženja današnjega čovjeka, potiču na promišljanje o novoj (digitalnoj) antropologiji. Preduvjet govora o takvoj antropologiji jest poznavanje osnovnih karakteristika digitalnih medija. Stoga autor predstavlja temeljne karakteristike virtualnoga prostora, promjene koje se u njemu odvijaju mijenjajući načine doživljavanja mjesta i vremena, kao i nove načine uspostave odnosa između osoba i oblikovanja zajedništva. Novi načini sudjelovanja i socijalizacije, poimanje tjelesnosti te informatizacija svih vidova života, izazovi su današnjoj antropologiji i poticaj za filozofsko-teološka promišljanja.
Penitencijarna praksa u ranoj Crkvi prema Prvoj Ivanovoj poslanici, Epistula Apostolorum te Herminu Pastiru
Authors: Knežević Josip
Published: August 2024

Autor ovog rada želi prikazati nastanak i razvoj penitencijarne prakse u ranoj Crkvi ograničavajući se na tekstove koji su nastali u prvim dvama stoljećima: Prva Ivanova poslanica, Epistula Apostolorum te Hermin Pastir, nastojeći prikazati okvir u kojem se razvijala penitencijarna praksa. U početku, na temelju shvaćanja Božjega milosrđa, postojala je praksa koja je naglašavala mogućnost oprosta svih grijeha što je s vremenom prelazilo i u abuzus, te je kao posljedica nastala druga praksa koja je držala krštenje jedinom pokorom. Tako su se u tom vremenu profilirale te dvije struje – laksistička i rigoristička – s oprječnim stavovima prema penitencijarnoj praksi te i treća koju će zastupati Herma u svojem Pastiru i koja će biti predstavljena kao jedna vrsta srednjega puta između suprotstavljenih stavova.
