Authors: . Pragati
Published: December 2024

The “Tuzuk-i-Jahangir,” also known as the “Memoirs of Jahangir,” is a remarkable autobiography of Emperor Jahangir, the fourth Mughal emperor of India. His fascination with the natural world was evident throughout his memoirs. This memoir serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into a wide range of topics, including information on plants and animals, natural phenomena such as the appearance of meteors, description of medical interests, and more. What distinguishes Jahangir’s memoirs is their exceptional accuracy, meticulous observations, and originality. Jahangir followed an empirical and rational approach in his writings, infusing them with a scientific quality. His writing reflects his deep appreciation for nature and his desire to understand its intricacies. His affirmative attitude towards nature is evident in the way he approached the study of natural history. He sought to understand and document nature systematically and methodically. He often commissioned paintings and illustrations to accompany his written observations. This paper delves into the intriguing question of why Emperor Jahangir developed a keen interest in natural history. What was his method of observation and approaches to experimentation while writing his memoir? How historians can leverage the wealth of information provided in Jahangir’s memoir? The “Tuzuk-i-Jahangir” serves as an exceptional resource for historians interested in natural history, illustrating Emperor Jahangir’s intellectual curiosity and meticulous observations. His memoirs provide invaluable insights into the natural world of Mughal India, trace historical changes, understand the cultural significance of nature in Mughal society, and serve as a bridge between the past and present. This paper aims to unravel Emperor Jahangir’s enigmatic journey into the realm of natural history, shedding light on his methodical observation, experimentations, and the profound significance of his memoirs for historians studying the past.

Covid-19 effects on residential patterns of the urban population: willingness and “discourses” analysis in the media in the region of Valencia (Spain)
Authors: Jaume Pla-Bañuls
Published: December 2024

Covid-19 brought changes in the residential preferences of part of the urban population. More specifically, confinement in very small spaces had a decisive influence on the preference for larger residences closer to open spaces or natural areas. This research focuses on the large urban areas of the Valencia region. Two types of analysis are carried out. Firstly, based on more than 500 newspaper articles (from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2022), to analyse and see the changes that the media reflected in terms of the residential patterns of the urban population, and to what extent rural areas constituted a focus of attraction for the urban population. Secondly, a survey was carried out among the population in the large urban areas of Valencia (a total of 360 residents), with the aim of assessing their willingness, if they had the economic means, to change their residence from the urban area. These changes in residential patterns were being stimulated even before the pandemic from rural areas, because of their proximity to large urban areas, and the open spaces and its closeness to nature. Indeed, these remote rural areas saw Covid-19 as a window of opportunity for residential relocation of urban families. The results of the surveys show, as well as the newspaper reports, that urban dwellers did show a high predisposition to residential change, but their preferences were clearly for peri-urban areas or, failing that, intermediate rural areas, i.e. within commuting distance and with a good supply of services (especially health and education).

Cognitive and biomechanical interactions in language acquisition: A comparative case study of English and Japanese teaching for nonnative speakers
Authors: Wu Dazhi , Lei Juan , Wang Yanzhe
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the interplay between cognitive processes and biomechanical methods in language education, focusing on English and Japanese instruction for Chinese university students. A mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative experiments and qualitative feedback, was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of biomechanical teaching strategies compared to traditional methods. Over a 12-week intervention, students in the experimental group, who experienced biomechanical techniques involving gestures, physical activities, and multi-sensory inputs, consistently outperformed their counterparts in the control group. Notably, the experimental group achieved higher mean scores in vocabulary (English: 85 vs. 75; Japanese: 78 vs. 68), grammar (English: 82 vs. 73; Japanese: 85 vs. 70), and listening comprehension (English: 88 vs. 77; Japanese: 80 vs. 72), with statistically significant differences (p < 0.01 for most metrics). Additionally, effect sizes (Cohen’s d) were calculated to determine the practical significance of these findings. The effect sizes ranged from d = 1.60 to d = 2.08, indicating large and practically significant differences between the experimental and control groups. Qualitative data revealed enhanced engagement, memory retention, and motivation among students exposed to biomechanical methods. The cross-linguistic comparison highlighted that English learner benefited most from multi-sensory vocabulary acquisition techniques, while Japanese learners exhibited substantial improvements in grammar and listening comprehension through interactive activities. These findings not only demonstrate the adaptability of biomechanical approaches but also underline their potential for broader application across other languages and cultural settings. For instance, languages with tonal systems, such as Mandarin or Thai, could leverage gesture-based methods to reinforce pitch and tone distinctions, whereas languages with complex morphology, like Arabic or Finnish, might benefit from kinesthetic exercises targeting morphological structures. Furthermore, educational settings with resource constraints can integrate low-cost, physical movement-based interventions, making biomechanics a scalable solution. By tailoring these methods to align with specific linguistic features and cultural learning preferences, educators can enhance their global applicability, paving the way for interdisciplinary innovation in language teaching. The study provides strong empirical evidence supporting the integration of biomechanics into language education, emphasizing its potential to enhance learner performance and satisfaction in a globalized learning environment.

The results of extremity revascularization depend remarkably on the application of modern anesthesia control devices and radiological equipment. They also protect the patients – both from themselves and potential infection – and maximize the accuracy of surgery and recovery times. Anesthesia monitoring systems give immediate information concerning patients’ condition, allowing anesthesiologists to alter settings for depth of anesthesia, control effects, and respond to alterations promptly. Most radiological technologies are diagnostic rather than therapeutic. Still, whether invasive or non-invasive, they help the surgeon portray the surgical area, and this is very crucial in planning surgeries, especially using minimally invasive methods. It aims to understand better how these technologies can work in combination, how efficient they are in enhancing the results of surgery, and the main issues associated with their application. Moreover, the work focuses on the continued developments in both disciplines while presenting the readers with an understanding of how both are changing the current surgical practices.

Authors: Maulida Yusni , Ningsih Rahmita Budiarti , Indrawati Toti
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the gender wage gap in Riau Province using the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition method to examine its underlying factors. The analysis reveals a significant wage disparity, where women earn, on average, 29.56% less than men, despite higher educational attainment among women. The decomposition results highlight that only 2.44% of the gap is explained by observable factors such as education and employment type, while 76.76% remains unexplained, indicating the prevalence of discrimination and unmeasured structural barriers. This study identifies unique regional dynamics, including the paradox of women in urban areas earning less than their rural counterparts, contrary to global trends. Additionally, the study underscores the role of formal employment in reducing wage disparities, with women in formal jobs earning significantly more than those in informal sectors. These findings suggest that while improving education and transitioning women into formal employment can partially address wage disparities, structural reforms targeting workplace discrimination and cultural norms are essential for achieving gender wage equity. The study contributes to the literature by providing localized insights into gender wage gaps in Riau Province, emphasizing the need for targeted policy interventions to enhance equity in labor market outcomes.

The interaction of pre- and postnatal obesogenic environments in affecting daughter’s metabolic health and oocyte quality : fundamental insights for sustainable advice
Authors:   , Xhonneux Inne
Published: December 2024

Maternal diet induced obesity (DIO) affects oocyte mitochondrial functions, reducing the quality of the oocyte and subsequent embryo. Further embryonic development in the oviduct and uterus of DIO mothers may reprogram the offspring, a process that continues during lactation. This may increase the offspring’s sensitivity to an obesogenic (OB) diet, exacerbating the direct effects of an OB diet on offspring health and oocyte quality. However, this was never thoroughly investigated. It also remains unknown whether the impact on offspring’s fertility is only apparent at fertile age or may already be inborn. Such information is crucial to determine the need to mitigate or protect against maternal effects in offspring at risk, and to offer fundamental insights for sustainable advice. We hypothesized that both offspring and maternal OB diets affect adult offspring health and oocyte quality. Moreover, we hypothesized that maternal DIO influences the direct impact of the offspring’s OB diet. We investigated mature oocytes, but also dormant ovarian follicles at adulthood and even earlier at weaning and at birth. Outbred Swiss offspring from control and OB-fed mothers were weaned on control or OB diets for 7 weeks. At offspring adult age, we confirmed negative effects of the offspring’s OB diet on offspring health and oocyte quality, and showed for the first time that even the dormant primordial follicle pool is hampered by the offspring’s OB diet. Contrarily, maternal DIO did not hamper the offspring’s metabolic profile, or increased the offspring’s sensitivity to an OB diet, but improved their metabolic profile despite morphological alterations in muscle mitochondria. Furthermore, our data suggest that maternal DIO increases the offspring’s oocyte bioenergetic capacity, without signs that are indicative for damage in mature and primordial follicle oocytes. Maternal DIO also did not interact with the direct effect of the offspring’s OB diet. Offspring from DIO mothers had no increased cellular stress levels (Hsp70) in their primordial follicle oocytes at birth or at weaning, but had reduced TFAM expression which may regulate mtDNA replication. More prominent effects of maternal DIO were detected in offspring primordial follicle oocytes after lactation, of which functional implications on subsequent follicular development require further investigation. Based on our data, it is unlikely that adult obese women born to obese mothers would require different preconception care strategies to improve their oocyte quality. However, the subtle maternal DIO-induced changes in the offspring’s oocyte bioenergetic capacity may suggest the need for personalized IVF media formulations.
