Authors: Mahmood Saqib , Sharif Humera , Aleem Faiza
Published: January 2024

A comprehensive teaching plan, mindful practices and effective use of technology can boost the writing skills of Second Language Learners by improving spontaneity, naturalness, and accuracy. A vibrant learning community, strongly connected through on-site and online mediums, is ideal for enhancing the skills of foreign language students. This research focuses on enhancing students’ paragraph writing skills by blending traditional and modern technology tools in a hybrid form of instruction. The participants of the study were divided into experimental and control groups; they were students of English as a Second Language (ESL) learners at a private university in Pakistan. After the pre-test, both groups were taught the same curriculum through different pedagogy for six weeks. The experimental group received instructions in a blended mode with the help of technology tools. The results were analyzed at pre and post-research levels by applying a t-test. The results showed a noticeable improvement in the skills of the experimental group. The same course taught with a traditional pedagogy could not produce the desirable results in the control group. The analysis includes vocabulary, reflective thinking, adherence to language mechanics, and grammar to boost the students’ creative writing ability for paragraph composition.

Authors: Alcalde Saiz Alfonso , Toma Radu Bogdan , Sierra Jesús Enrique
Published: January 2024

Existe un descenso significativo en el número de estudiantes matriculados en carreras científico-tecnológicas, con notables diferencias de género. Asimismo, cada vez son más los y las estudiantes que continúan sus estudios en la Formación Profesional en lugar del Bachillerato al final de la etapa obligatoria. No se conocen claramente los motivos de esta tendencia, pero parece que las expectativas de los estudiantes y la influencia de su profesorado y madres y padres podrían tener un papel relevante. Por este motivo, esta investigación analiza el impacto de las expectativas de éxito en ciencias y tecnología en la elección del tipo de estudios (Bachillerato o Formación Profesional), así como en la rama elegida (científico-tecnológica o no). Para ampliar el ámbito del estudio, también se considera la percepción que posee el estudiantado sobre las expectativas de éxito que sus padres, madres, y profesorado tienen sobre ellos. El diseño fue cuantitativo, de tipo explicativo, utilizando un instrumento válido y fiable para encuestar a una muestra de conveniencia de 276 estudiantes. Los resultados revelan que las expectativas de éxito del estudiantado y la de sus padres y madres tienen un alto impacto en la elección de estudios de Bachillerato en los chicos, pero no en las chicas. Por otro lado, los hallazgos revelan que la elección de estudios científico-tecnológicos está influida por las propias expectativas de éxito y la de sus padres/madres, en el caso de los chicos, y por las propias expectativas de éxito y las de su profesorado, en el caso de las chicas. Estos resultados ponen de manifiesto la importancia del constructo expectativas de éxito en la orientación académica, así como en la formación de las vocaciones científicas. Por este motivo, para el fomento de las vocaciones científico-técnicas sería necesario poner en práctica metodologías y estrategias de enseñanza que mejoren las expectativas de éxito de los estudiantes, así como desarrollar intervenciones que mejoren las expectativas que sus padres/madres y profesorado les depositan.

The latest IPCC report which is named ‘The Synthesis Report , Climate Change 2023’ was released on 20 March 2023 to inform the 2023 Global Stocktake under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The report finds that ‘there is more than 50% chance that global temperature rise will reach or surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius between 2021 and 2040 across studied scenarios, and under a high-emissions pathway, specifically, the world may hit this threshold even sooner, between 2018 and 2037.’ These findings again emphasise the growing pressures and challenges that deltas are confronting in their path towards future development. It is evident that the global imperative for deltas to adapt has reached an unprecedented level, but at the same time the question arises if adaptation is enough. Especially considering the scope of societal challenges that need to be the point of departure for sustainable spatial transformation in general. Aren't they of such a fundamental nature that we need to reconsider our urban system as a whole and aim for transformation instead of adaptation? Looking more closely to the societal challenges we can organise them according to their environmental and socio-economic drivers. The environmental drivers are the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis. The socio-economic drivers are ongoing urbanisation, the energy transition, and the new economy.

Published: January 2024

The dark market distribution channels for drug trafficking have become a chronic problem and a promising market in Indonesia. This circulation has reached remote villages and hamlets, regardless of individuals' identities or social statuses, making them potential quick recipients of narcotics. The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) states that preventing its distribution is more challenging than dealing with the culprits who use drugs. This research utilizes a systemic investigation method designed to understand the strategies of the dark market distribution channels for drug trafficking in Indonesia, employing a qualitative approach. For the current study, the researcher will commence the investigation in the Sumenep Regency, focusing on the location of the Sumenep Regency Penitentiary (LAPAS). The informants interviewed for the required data include detainees with drug abuse cases, former drug users and traffickers, the narcotics unit of the Sumenep Police Resort (Polres), the BNN of Sumenep Regency, and other informants believed to have knowledge about the dark market distribution channels for drugs in Indonesia. From the conducted research, it can be explained that the distribution of drug marketing does not use existing e-commerce platforms but relies on direct marketing to consumers or patients. Meanwhile, the marketing distribution extends through Surabaya, Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan, and even from Kalimantan and Malaysia. As for the island regions of Banyuwangi and Bali, the distribution is also part of the marketing channels.
Detection and Mitigation of DDOS Attack in SDN Environment Using Hybrid CNN-LSTM
Authors: Rajan Dhanya M , Aravindhar Dr.D. John
Published: January 2024

DDoS attacks, powered by botnets to flood network resources, pose a significant threat to traditional network setups. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) boosts network adaptability and programmability by separating the control and data planes. However, the centralized control in SDN can be a vulnerability, allowing attackers to exploit security flaws and launch DDoS attacks. These attacks overwhelm network controllers and switches, consuming bandwidth and server resources, and disrupting regular user access. In response to the threat, we've implemented an online SDN defence system designed to detect and counter such attacks. This system includes modules for both spotting anomalies and handling them. The anomaly detection model combines Convolutional Neural Network and Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) techniques to effectively spot irregular traffic patterns. For mitigation, the model identifies abnormal traffic by implementing flow rule orders from the controller and traces back to the attacker via IP tracing. To measure our approach's effectiveness, we used various evaluation metrics like Accuracy, F-measure, Precision, Recall, ROC Curve, and Precision-Recall Curve. Our methodology displayed impressive results, achieving a 99.83% accuracy in multiclass classification and 99.17% accuracy in binary classification. In comparison with existing DDoS detection systems, our AI-driven mitigation techniques demonstrated their superiority. Overall, our research aims to streamline the detection and mitigation of DDoS attacks.
Solutions to Enhance Foreign Direct Investment Attraction to Vietnam in the Digital Transformation Phase
Authors: Hoang Ha Huy
Published: January 2024

The reality shows that developing countries often face capital and technology shortages, outdated industrial production techniques, small-scale production, low labor productivity, low per capita GDP, low GDP growth rates, low savings rates, underdeveloped foreign trade with a trade deficit, exporting raw materials and semi-processed goods, a development gap compared to advanced countries, and dependence on developed countries in terms of trade, technology, foreign aid, and expertise. This is referred to as the "vicious circle" of poverty by Paul A. Samuelson, which requires an external boost. According to him, this boost includes capital, technology, expertise, etc. Therefore, attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) is considered an effective solution for the socio-economic development of developing countries. Consequently, these countries pay special attention to studying the factors that influence FDI attraction policies to timely adjust their policies to optimize FDI attraction and serve the process of economic and social development. Evaluate the attraction of foreign direct investment and examine the factors influencing foreign direct investment attraction. Based on that, propose solutions to enhance the attraction of foreign direct investment in the current phase.

Published: January 2024

Debido al mal manejo de los recursos naturales de nuestro pais, grandes áreas boscosas han perdido su cubierta vegetal, lo que ha generado deterioro a la ecología de esas zonas. Con el fin de contrarrestar estos daños, se han estado llevando a cabo reforestaciones tendientes a mejorar esas áreas. Un ejemplo de lo anterior, es la reforestación que desde hace más de 20 años se ha estado realizando en terrenos de la Universidad Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar si la plantación de pinos ha incrementado la infiltración, y conocer su comportamiento a través de la edad de la plantación y de las épocas del año. Para cumplir con este objetivo, se hicieron estimaciones de la infiltración a través del método de los anillos concéntricos, en sitios con árboles de 5, 9 y 14 años de edad, en un área sin reforestar, y durante primavera, verano, otoño e invier-no; se utilizó un experimento factorial con un diseño completamente al azar y una comparación múltiple de Duncan. Los análisis realizados mostraron que las tasas de infiltración se han visto incrementadas con la reforestación y se presentaron diferencias entre las edades de la plantación a cualquier inter valo de tiempo. La infiltración fue mayor en el sitio con árboles de 5 años, seguido por el de 14 y 9 años de edad; las infiltraciones menores se presentaron en el área sin reforestar. Durante los primeros minutos de la estima-ción, las épocas del año no presentaron diferencias, y se encontraron variaciones hasta después de 30 minutos de iniciadas las estimaciones; las mayores tasas de infiltración se presentaron durante el verano.

Some Remarks on the Phase Transformation of Gas Hydrates in Porous Sediments at Negative Celsius Temperatures
Authors: Golmshtok A. Ya.
Published: January 2024

The article presents a solution to the problem of the phase transition of methane hydrate — methane-gas + ice in porous hydrate-containing sediments at a negative Celsius temperature in the medium. The numerical solution of the resulting system of differential equations of piezoand thermal conductivity makes it possible to effectively simulate the change in pressure and temperature in both time and space in a medium of any dimension during its heating or decompression. In this case, the medium is not subdivided into parts with varying phase states of methane hydrate. Instead, its sediment substance is considered as a single entity, with its physical properties changing in magnitude when the hydrates undergo phase transformation. As an example, the problem of the thermobaric regime of a heating spherical cavern containing ice, hydrate and free methane has been solved. This cavern is situated within a continuous gas-tight underground ice. The solution shows that although the temperature of the sphere surface increases considerably, the decomposition of hydrate only occurs in an extremely thin shell located directly between the surface and the displaced inward phase boundary.Over time, the stability conditions of hydrates establish anew but at a higher gas pressure and medium temperature. This phenomenon of severely limited decomposition of the hydrate in a closed gas-insulated space, nevertheless leading to an increase in pressure in it, is, apparently, the basic process that provides the “self-preservation” of methane hydrates.

Social Media a Concern for Foreign Relationships with Neighbor Countries
Authors: Hossan Md. Alomgir
Published: January 2024

Indian Sub-continent, especially Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan were divided by Islamic ideology. Bangladesh gained independence from West Pakistan in 1971 with the unbelievable support of the neighboring country India. The present article attempts to find out about the recent time controversy through social media between these countries. In the 2023 Men’s World Cup Cricket Final match India vs Australia held on November 19, 2023, Australia won by 6 Wickets. Here Bangladeshi young cricket lovers enjoyed supporting Team Australia but Indians could not take it positively. They think Bangladesh as a Muslim country avoids Hindus and does not respect and love them. However, the study reveals that 83% disagree that Islam is related to support. 59.50% voted that a player’s behavior is responsible for the support of India and only 3% think that religion may affect supporting the cricket matches. Finally, an effective recommendation has been structured for resolving the crisis.
Detecting Acetaminophen Through a Simple, Saving, and Accuracy Technique with a Effective Working Electrode
Authors: Đỗ Mai Nguyễn
Published: January 2024

Employing differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DP-ASV), the electrochemical behavior of GCE toward acetaminophen (AMP) was investigated in the current paper. Results from differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry demonstrate that, with a peak of 0.508 V for AMP, AMP could be selectively and sensitively detected on GCE. The detection limits for AMP are 0.250 µM, indicating that the GCE can be used to identify AMP compounds with good sensitivity and selectivity. Additionally, this work would be considered a precious reference for several following reports of AMP as well as contributed to the information of the AMP’s LOD value.

Authors:   Ghalib University, Safi Allah Nawaz , Behrad Mohammad Sayed ,   Kabul University, Mosawi Sayed Hussain ,   Ghalib University, Bayan Abdul Musawer
Published: January 2024

Background: Antibiotic resistance is a significant health concern, as bacteria produce enzymes that inhibit antimicrobial drug activity, increasing disease generation. This study investigates the inhibitory effect of berberine on β-lactamase enzyme activity and antibiotic effectiveness. Methods: Molecular docking was utilized to find the binding pose and binding affinity of a new inhibitory ligand with the AmpC enzyme using Autodock software version 4.2.2. MD simulations were performed in free form and complicated to understand the stability of the protein-ligand docked complex. Results: The molecular docking result indicated the proper interaction between berberine and the AmpC β-lactamase enzyme with a suitable binding pose and binding energy of -6.55 kcal/mol. The MD simulation of systems verifies the docking result, which shows stable hydrogen bonds of berberine with AmpC and good equivalence between RMSD, RMSF, SASA, etc. Conclusion: This paper reveals that berberine, which is a natural ingredient with multiple medicinal characteristics, can be applied as a potential inhibitor of class C β-lactamase AmpC. Hence, the outcome of the calculations performed provides valuable data to design new inhibitors with therapeutic potential to control the β-lactamase activity.

Authors:   Khatam Al-Nabieen University, Akbari Elham , Hossaini Dawood ,   Khatam Al-Nabieen University, Haidary Murtaza ,   Khatam Al-Nabieen University
Published: January 2024

Background: The human intestine harbors a collection of microorganisms known as intestinal microbiota, which encompasses bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. However, bacteria reign supreme as the most prevalent members of the intestinal microbiota. Notably, the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological functions of the human body. In addition to its influence on digestion, the gut microbiota also exerts control over the function of the brain and central nervous system, earning the enteric nervous system the title of the "second brain." The behavior and mood, as well as the progression of nervous system diseases like multiple sclerosis, autism, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's, can potentially be regulated by the intestinal microbiota. Through the intestinal nervous system, production of metabolites, stimulation of entero-endocrine cells, and the immune system, the gut microbiota plays a role in regulating the function of the central nervous system. Disturbances caused by improper nutrition, indiscriminate use of antibiotics, stress, anxiety, and depression are significant factors that can worsen these diseases and disrupt the balance of gut microbiota.

Authors: Paraskevas Antonios
Published: January 2024

Brains do not reason as digital computers do. Computers reason in clear steps with statements that are either true or false, while humans reason with vague terms of common sense. Neutrosophy is a new branch of philosophy and machine intelligence that deals with neutralities, specifically the idea of indeterminacy that is evident and experienced in our everyday lives. Indeterminacy is interpreted as everything that falls between a concept, idea, statement, declaration, etc. and its opposite. The fundamental thesis of neutrosophy is to employ neutrosophic logic, an extension of fuzzy logic, to incorporate fuzzy truth into complex schemes of formal reasoning. Event calculus is a logical formalism used to describe and reason about events and their consequences over time. It is considered a valuable mathematical tool in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) for depicting dynamic systems where events occur and have temporal relationships with each other. However, previous studies in AI have neglected to adequately address the complexity of time. In this context, our work aims to introduce a neutrosophic event-based calculus as a logic formalism to handle situations where there is insufficient knowledge or ambiguity regarding the occurrence or consequences of certain events in a system. In particular, neutrosophic event calculus examines causality between ideas and the connection between tasks and actions in the presence of time. Due to the lack of related studies in the existing literature, we believe that our work will contribute to the field of knowledge representation by proposing an alternative to current forms of logic. We aim to demonstrate the capacity of neutrosophic event calculus in the context of knowledge representation and reasoning.

Objective: Pain assessment of individuals with acute or chronic pain while creating a physiotherapy program is of great importance in demonstrating the effectiveness of the treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the pain assessment preferences of healthcare providers.

Material and Method: We tried to reach different healthcare providers who are dealing with patients suffering from pain, living and working in Turkey via a Google survey. Healthcare providers (aged 18-60) with at least one year of work experience in their field were included. In the questionnaire, age, gender, profession, working time in the profession, institution, acute/chronic patient follow-up, pain severity assessment scale preference, and pain localization assessment preference were questioned.

Results: A total of 159 healthcare providers (114 females and 45 males) participated in this survey and replied to the questionnaire. 54.7% of them reported that they preferred the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and 11.9% of them preferred the Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) to evaluate pain intensity. The participants preferred verbal feedback and palpation to determine pain localization.

Conclusion: In this survey was conducted in Turkey, health providers’ preferences were found to be similar to the related literature. The results obtained from this survey also indicate that health providers working in Turkey mostly prefer VAS in pain intensity assessment.
