Sustainability of Rice Wheat Cropping System in India
Authors:   Master’s in Regulatory Policy and Governance Tata Institute of Social Science, Mumbai (M.H), India., Singh Shubham
Published: November 2024

Indias rice wheat cropping system (RWCS), responsible for 40 Percent of the nations food grain production, has been a successful contributor to food security. However, despite nearly half of Indias population relying directly or indirectly on agriculture, and agriculture itself contributing 18 Percent to the countrys economy, challenges loom large. One pressing issue is the Russia Ukraine conflict, disrupting grain and fertilizer supplies, causing fertilizer prices to surge, and adding to the burden of already debt ridden farmers. This crisis highlights the vulnerability of an agricultural system heavily reliant on external factors. Moreover, the RWCS faces environmental threats. Depleting groundwater levels from over irrigation and excessive chemical use pose long-term risks. The use of chemicals, in response to diminishing soil health, leads to the harmful effects of biomagnification and eutrophication, disrupting food webs and chains, and impacting both ecosystems and human health [5] [7]. A shift toward sustainable and diversified agriculture is imperative to secure the future. Investing in modern farming practices, promoting organic farming, and encouraging crop rotation can help reduce the system's environmental toll. Additionally, improving access to credit and insurance for farmers canease their financial burdens and ensure their livelihoods. In the face of these challenges, India must consider long term sustainability to safeguard its food security, environment, and the well being of its agricultural workforce.
Migratory Flows from Central America and United States Border Control
Authors: Cabral Victor
Published: November 2024

This article examines forced migration from Central America and criticises the US response, questioning the effectiveness of border control methods, particularly biometrics. It explores two US programmes in Mexico, Frontera Sur and Remain in Mexico. The review analysed the literature on critical security studies and migration, with a focus on Mexican productions. The results indicate diverse measures employed by the US to deter unwanted migrants, including the use of biometric borders to enhance border security and the implementation of racial and social criteria to allow or prevent the passage of certain individuals. The examination of Frontera Sur and Remain in Mexico reveals a US border externalization by making Mexico a buffer state, which hinders migratory flows and creates a vertical border that impedes migrants' journey northward. The article concludes that these measures infringe upon migrants' human rights, limiting their mobility and their pursuit of refuge in the United States.

The English in South Asian Contexts: Exploring Historical Development to Present Role in Education
Authors: Khadka Bishnu Kumar
Published: November 2024

This article investigates the historical evolution and the current role of South Asian English (SAE) in the region’s education systems, with a particular focus on its function as a medium of instruction (EMI). By integrating both historical and contemporary insights, the article offers a detailed examination of how SAE has shaped educational practices. The methodology follows a systematic review process, involving the collection, analysis, and synthesis of scholarly works, government policies, and reports on English in South Asia. The findings highlight SAE’s dual role in acknowledging the region’s linguistic diversity while positioning English as a key tool for both local and global interactions. Tracing SAE’s origins to British colonial rule, the article explains how English was initially imposed for administrative purposes and later embraced by local elites. Over time, English became instrumental in governance, law, and education, often viewed as a neutral language to manage linguistic diversity. The rise of English-medium institutions further solidified its importance, resulting in a bilingual population fluent in both English and native languages. Today, SAE has evolved into a dynamic form of English, characterized by distinct local accents, idiomatic expressions, and cultural influences, giving rise to a unique linguistic identity in the region. The article also addresses current debates about the dominance of English in education, weighing the benefits of global connectivity against the need to preserve indigenous languages. It further explores pedagogical challenges and innovations in teaching SAE, particularly within multilingual classrooms. The article concludes by advocating for a balanced approach that incorporates SAE into a multilingual education system, promoting inclusivity and equitable learning opportunities throughout South Asia.
Linear solution of the three-station positioning equationreconstructed based on the path difference equation
Authors:   Shanghai Yu Tao Smart Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China, Yu Tao
Published: November 2024

For a three-station path difference positioning system with an arbitrary planar layout, if the solution analysis is directly based on the path difference equation, the radial distance unknowns in the equation are difficult to directly eliminate. Once the conversion relationship between the polar coordinate system and the Cartesian coordinate system is utilized, the differential equation system can be transformed into a mixed variable equation system, which includes both the three radial distances in the polar coordinate system and the two coordinate variables in the Cartesian coordinate system. Take the radial distance of the main station as the quantity to be solved, and use the path difference equation to express the radial distance of the secondary station as a function of the radial distance of the main station. By selecting the appropriate station coordinates, an unknown variable in the Cartesian coordinate system can be eliminated. By combining mixed equations, another unknown variable in the Cartesian coordinate system can be further eliminated. Thus, a definite solution equation containing only the radial distance of the main station is obtained.

Este trabalho se propôs a analisar as ações de promoção à saúde do homem pela equipe de enfermagem na atenção primária. Para realizar a análise, foram necessários três objetivos específicos, sendo eles: Identificar barreiras e desafios enfrentados pela equipe de enfermagem na implementação das ações de promoção da saúde. Analisar a percepção dos homens atendidos sobre as ações de promoção da saúde, incluindo sua aceitação e participação. Explorar os facilitadores que contribuem para o sucesso das ações de promoção da saúde do homem, considerando fatores sociais e culturais. Este trabalho foi realizado a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica, privilegiando a abordagem qualitativa. A pesquisa foi realizada em artigos e dissertações que versem sobre a temática. Os materiais com tempo superior há 5 anos foram dispensados afim de seja uma pesquisa atualizada. A partir da análise foi possível perceber que a saúde do homem é um tema frequentemente negligenciado, porém de extrema importância. Devido a estigmas culturais que retratam o homem com sexo forte e provedor da família, a adesão do homem as unidades básicas de saúde são sempre baixas. Essa população necessita de estratégias multidisciplinares que sejam direcionadas de maneira qualificada, para que possa atenda às suas necessidades. No entanto, nos dias atuais, ainda não há estratégias de educação em saúde que sejam voltadas somente ao público masculino, deixando as estratégias da equipe de enfermagem a desejar.

Published: November 2024

Background and objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical course of pediatric hepatitis A virus (HAV) infections over one year in a tertiary care setting in Bangladesh focusing on clinical presentations and complications. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was conducted in 32 children aged 1–18 years diagnosed with acute hepatitis A, confirmed by positive anti-HAV immunoglobulin M (IgM). Clinical presentations, liver function tests (LFTs), coagulation profiles, and complete blood counts (CBC) were analyzed. Patients with chronic liver disease or other forms of viral hepatitis were excluded. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis. Results: The majority of patients (62.5%) were aged 6–10 years. Common clinical features included jaundice (94%), hepatomegaly (84%), fever (78%), and vomiting/nausea (56%). Ascites (20%), encephalopathy (10%), and sepsis (10%) were the most frequent complications. LFT results showed significantly elevated alanine aminotransferase (SGPT) levels in 68.75% of patients, with values exceeding 1000 IU/dL. Aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT) levels were elevated in 9.38% of patients. Coagulation abnormalities, such as elevated prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR), were observed in a substantial proportion of patients, with hypoalbuminemia present in one-third of cases. Ultrasound findings indicated cholestasis in 12.5% of patients. Conclusion: Pediatric hepatitis A is generally mild but can lead to complications such as ascites, encephalopathy, and sepsis. Early diagnosis, awareness of atypical presentations, and regular monitoring are essential, especially in high-endemic areas like Bangladesh.

The Epistemological Turn of the Twentieth Century’s Legal Positivism
Authors: Sanchez Luis Manuel
Published: November 2024

The Epistemological Turn of the Twentieth Century’s Legal Positivism

This article analyses the essential changes in the positivist law theory from its modern origins, usually remitted to Hobbes, Bentham and Austin, to the positivism of Kelsen and Hart. It is argued that a crucial epistemological break can be noticed, revealed in the most analytic-rationalistic character of Kelsen and Hart’s elaborations, compared to the more facts-descriptive style of their predecessors. Rationalism in Kelsen and Hart may explain the conventional character of the basic norm and the rule of recognition, validity only formally, and the difficulty of accounting for the formal and substantive components. The change can be associated with Kelsen and Hart’s intellectual context, particularly Hume’s ‘guillotine’, the influences of logical positivism and neo-Kantian schools. This turn should not be overlooked since it casts doubts on the usual speaking of Kelsen and Hart’s legal positivism in the descriptive sense of nineteenth-century philosophers, with relevant consequences for thinking of law.
De relevantie van Beccaria voor het Nederlandse strafrecht: het beïnvloedingsprincipe
Authors: de Groot Arjan

De relevantie van Beccaria voor het Nederlandse strafrecht: het beïnvloedingsprincipe

Aan de hand van dit artikel wordt onderzocht in hoeverre Beccaria’s ideeën nog steeds relevant zijn voor het Nederlandse strafrecht. Een essentieel punt in zijn filosofie is gedragsbeïnvloeding. Beccaria hecht veel waarde aan het codificeren en kenbaar maken van (duidelijk opgestelde) wetten. Hierdoor weten burgers welke gedragingen strafbaar zijn gesteld en worden – zo is de veronderstelling van hem – door die strafrechtelijke kennis beïnvloed strafbaar gedrag achterwege te laten. Daarnaast moet volgens Beccaria het opleggen van een straf als doel hebben het gedrag te beïnvloeden, niet alleen zodat de dader opnieuw de fout ingaat (speciale preventie), maar ook dat anderen worden beïnvloed het gedrag achterwege te laten (generale preventie). In dit artikel wordt dit gedragsbeïnvloedingsidee het ‘beïnvloedingsprincipe’ genoemd en biedt een nieuw perspectief op de filosofie van Beccaria. Ook wordt met behulp van dit principe een analyse gemaakt van (de functie van) het hedendaagse legaliteitsbeginsel en de wijze waarop er wordt gestraft. Uit deze analyse zal blijken dat het beïnvloedingsprincipe nog steeds relevant is voor hedendaagse discussies.

This community service program aims to increase the use of abundant milk from dairy cows in Sereng Hamlet, Kemiri Village, Puspo District, Pasuruan Regency, through training in making sucked pudding or pudot. The local community, which previously only sold raw milk to collectors with low economic value, is trained to process milk into value-added products that are more attractive to consumers using direct practical methods to facilitate community understanding and skills at every stage, starting from socialization, training theoretically, hands-on practice, to digital marketing. The results of the activity showed that participants not only mastered the technique of processing pudot with various flavors, but also utilized digital platforms to reach a wider market. Apart from improving technical and economic skills, this program motivates communities to innovate and be independent in managing local products. With ongoing support and evaluation, it is hoped that the people of Sereng Hamlet can create new, sustainable business opportunities and strengthen the village economy through diversifying dairy products. This program is expected to become a model for rural economic development that can significantly improve the quality of life of local communities

Temporary crowns are of critical importance in orthopedic treatment. The term "temporary restorations" refers to those that have been installed for some time and require subsequent mandatory replacement of the restoration. Even if the final restoration is installed soon after dissection. Unfortunately, the word "temporary" implies some negligence, which often means ignoring many of the requirements related to permanent restorations. If such a connotation becomes the philosophy of the intermediate stage of treatment, it will necessarily lead to a decrease in clinical effectiveness and overall quality of treatment. ‎

Authors: Rehman Asma , Khan Awais Alam , Saeed Amir , Awan Shah Hussain
Published: November 2024

This study investigates market segmentation approaches used by eight diverse corporations in Pakistan. Interviews were conducted with marketing professionals to explore their current methods and perceptions of alternative strategies. Findings reveal that most organizations still rely on traditional segmentation methods—demographics, psychographics, geographic, and behavioral factors. However, six of the eight companies expressed a desire for contemporary segmentation approaches focused on customer needs. Marketing professionals noted that need-based segmentation could enhance customer satisfaction and increase revenue. Although conventional methods have value, a gap exists in the Pakistani market for more personalized, needs-based segmentation that could drive better outcomes for both customers and companies. Keywords: Behavioral, Customer Needs, Demographics, Geographic, Psychographics, Market Segmentation.
Unpacking the Paradox: Exploring the Knowledge-Attitude-Perception (KAP) and Trust of the Local Community Towards CPEC
Authors: Shahzad Aamir , Sunawar Lubna
Published: November 2024

This study explores the factors influencing community engagement and their impact on the perceived benefits and negative consequences of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) among residents of Pakistan's Balochistan and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) provinces. Based on the stakeholder theory, the study examines the Knowledge-Attitude-Perception (KAP) model of CPEC and the trust of the local people in the CPEC authorities. The research used a survey method, receiving responses from 232 participants. Data analysis was done using PLS-SEM. The analysis indicates that the level of CE influences the perceived benefits and negative impacts of CPEC. This study finds that the level of CE among residents is positively and significantly related to the attitudes and knowledge of residents about CPEC. However, residents' perceptions of CPEC and trust in its authorities have a significant but weak relationship with CE. The research also indicates that through mediation, CE has a significant favorable influence on perceived benefits but a negative influence on the perceived negative impact of development on residents. On the other hand, CE has a positive but marginal effect on the residents' perceived benefits and trust in authorities and a negative yet marginal on the residents' perceived negative impacts.
Modos de ver cine y series en internet
Authors: Ferrante Patricia
Published: November 2024

¿Cómo cambió nuestra forma de ver películas y series en la era digital? Plataformas y circuitos de distribución concentrados o alternativos se transformaron en los canales por donde accedemos a una inmensa cantidad de contenidos audiovisuales. Desacoplados de sus soportes físicos, cine y series circulan sin pasaporte entre pantallas diversas y cada vez más globales. Aun cuando los medios nunca estuvieron tan concentrados, el quehacer “pirata” de usuarios ávidos armó un nuevo ecosistema, a la vez que exacerbó mecanismos de control y vigilancia.

En este estudio, se describen los circuitos de distribución digital de películas y series, un universo poblado por actores formales e informales, y por zonas dudosas que incluyen a la “piratería digital” como un modo particular que empujó cambios en la industria, formó a usuarios y obligó a pensar la distribución de otro modo. A partir de entrevistas individuales con jugadores de la industria y de la regulación, y de focus groups con jóvenes usuarios, se reconstruyen en este libro los modos de ver, acceder y distribuir películas y series en una nueva geografía del audiovisual.
