Reimagining Femininity: Sylvia Plath’s Poetic Odyssey into the Realms of Gender Identity, Fluidity and Intersectionality
Authors: Bazila Ehsan
Published: September 2024

The poetic oeuvre of Sylvia Plath stands witness to her deep-seated inquiry into gender identity and fluidity and intersectionality that she houses within herself to also offer gender identity as a site of rebellion against the structural society of patriarchy which tasks a feminine form with femininity as inherent. Drawing on feminist theory, psychoanalysis and new critical practice, the paper rides Slath's wave of poetry to a place where we dare to see what it might mean to be woman. The paper would through a critical reading, endeavour to untangle the mystique of her poetry through a few select poems, such as, “Mushrooms”, “Medusa”, “Lesbos”, “The Applicant” and “Ariel” in which Plath may be seen engaging with gender, politics of body and intersectionality. In addition, the paper was going to examine how Plath's poetic imagery and diction troubled traditional gender binaries which could provide suggestions for new ways of existing and expressing the sex. Within the matrices of gender, sexuality, power and resistance, then, her poetry reconfigures itself as a space of both subversion and metamorphosis that disrupts the passive and passive-aggressive spectacles of womanhood and feminine beauty. The paper ultimately would examine how Plath’s poetic discourse sheds light onto the intersection between varying forms of sexual oppression, gender discrimination and identity formation. In conclusion, the paper concludes that Plath poetry surpasses the limitation of gender roles and Patriarchy and speaks of the unity and multi-dimensionality of gender identity
Perseverance and Faith Play a Vital Role in One's Struggle in Life as Depicted in The Old Man and The Sea
Authors: Munish Kumar Thakur
Published: September 2024

Perseverance and Faith are the two important qualities of any individual that help him to face any adversities in his life. No matter how difficult the situations are there in one’s life if he has complete faith in his abilities. Perseverance is the secret booster behind the confidence one can have to face the adverse situations in his life as Santiago does in Earnest Hemingway’s The Old Man and The Sea. Literature has always been the reflection of any society and it plays a very important role in the lives of people living in any society. Writers always try to discuss the realities of life through their works in order to impart a good message to the people of society. Earnest Hemingway also does the same in his novel The Old Man and The Sea by depicting the struggle in the life of the central character Santiago in his old age. The present article tries to analyse the role and importance of qualities like perseverance and faith that provides the courage to any individual to face the adversities in his life bravely.
Gary Snyder’s Deep Ecology and Aesthetics of Poetry: An Appraisal
Authors: Rajshree Ranawat
Published: September 2024

The paper deals with the present environmental peril and the dark side of scientific discoveries and technological inventions. All the acts of development were targeted at controlling nature for the maximum benefit of human beings. It is a kind of war in which humans believe in taking control/supremacy over anything and everything. Given the situation, different genres of literature addressing the myriad environmental local and global concerns and issues, assume great importance as they not only assist in redefining/transforming the intricate bond between humans and nature, but the literary works are also the responses to the contemporary climatic changes. The paper delves deep into the American poet Gary Snyders's quintessential ecological philosophy and thought. It is a comprehensive study of the notion of “Deep Ecology” as employed by Synder in his literary oeuvre. Through a close reading of some of his poems, this paper is an attempt to explore Snyder’s perspectives and how his understanding of Indian culture, particularly his deep fascination with Buddhism and the spiritual beliefs of Native Americans embellished his creative impulse.

Published: September 2024

The study was carried out during rainy (kharif) seasons of 2020 and 2021 at Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur, Himachal Pradesh to assess the impact of different tillage practices on the crop productivity, nutrient status, and energy dynamics of three distinct rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes. The experiment was conducted in a split-plot design (SPD), replicated three times. The study examined the impact of two major factors, viz. (A) Factor 1 (Main plot), Four tillage system: Reduced tillage; Traditional tillage; Natural farming: and Zero tillage; (B) Factor 2 (Sub plot): Three rice genotypes: HPR 2656; HPR 2795; and HPR 1156. Based on the findings of two years we found that the conventional tillage recorded notably higher grain yield (3420 kg/ha) and straw yield (6010 kg/ha) while significantly lower values of grain yield (2134 kg/ha) and straw yield (4053 kg/ ha) were found in natural farming treatment. Significantly higher nutrient contents (N, P, and K) and their uptake were observed in conventional tillage, followed by reduced tillage treatment. In contrast, significantly lower values of nutrient contents (N, P, and K) and their uptake were recorded in natural farming treatment. Among genotypes evaluated HPR 2795 recorded significantly higher values of grain yield (3050 kg/ha) and straw yield (5402 kg/ha) owing to significantly higher values of yield attributes recorded in this variety. The present study shows that the conventional tillage method led to a higher yield for rice crops. Among all the genotypes tested, HPR 2795 exhibited the best performance.

Published: September 2024

Climacteric type muskmelons (Cucumis melo L.) are highly perishable and susceptible to moisture loss and decay during storage and transport, and possess very short storage life under ambient conditions. The present study was carried out during 2021 to 2023 at ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru, Karnataka to study the effect of different edible coatings in combination with cold storage on various physico-chemical parameters of muskmelon. Muskmelon cv. Arka Siri was coated with different edible coatings, viz. shellac based (NISA, Ranchi formulation), sodium alginate (1%), chitosan (1%) and gum arabica (5%) along with control. The experiment was laid out in a factorial completely randomised design (FCRD). The results revealed that muskmelon fruits coated with shellac based formulation had least physiological loss in weight, lower respiration rate and lower ethylene production during storage at 10°C. The shellac based coating was able to maintain highest mean firmness and biochemical parameters such as total soluble solid (8.53%), acidity, ascorbic acid (4.66 mg/100 g), sugars, total carotenoids (2034.14 µg/100 g), total phenolic content and total antioxidant activity of muskmelon fruits and extended the storage life to 21 days compared to 14 days in control when stored at 10°C. Muskmelon fruits coated with shellac based coating were much appreciated for their appearance, flavour, taste and overall acceptability by the panelists.

Published: September 2024

O uso do torniquete é importante para combater hemorragias durante a artroplastia total de joelho (ATJ). O equipamento inicial, inventado em 1817 por Petit e aprimorado em 1904 por Cushing, consiste em um dispositivo que comprime vasos sanguíneos, controlando o fluxo de sangue para uma extremidade, enquanto que a técnica de 1904 é composta por uma compressão pneumática monitorada pelo microcontrolador e pelo manguito inflável do dispositivo. O objetivo desse estudo é identificar vantagens e desvantagens do uso de torniquetes durante ATJ. O método consistiu na utilização dos descritores “total knee arthroplasty” “tourniquets”, “Artroplastia do Joelho” e “Torniquetes” nas bases de dados PubMed e BVS, usando o operador booleano AND, selecionando-se 34 artigos publicados nos últimos 5 anos. Os resultados demonstraram que o uso do torniquete na ATJ apresentou aumento de estabilidade e de durabilidade da prótese após o procedimento e menor perda de sangue. Entretanto, sua aplicação resultou em maior dor pós-operatória, amplitude de movimento reduzida, edema significativo e maior probabilidade de eventos tromboembólicos. No uso de torniquetes pneumáticos, pressões entre 75-120 mmHg demonstraram complicações mais leves, tendo exibido, contudo, menor eficiência no controle do sangramento comparado às pressões de 150 mmHg. Conclui-se que o benefício de controle de hemorragias do torniquete não é suficiente para inibir sua nocividade em relação ao prognóstico do paciente. Todavia, em casos de sangramento exacerbado, o torniquete pneumático pode ser uma alternativa eficaz, uma vez que aparentou ser mais vantajoso pela capacidade de controlar a pressão de forma mais eficiente durante o procedimento.

Over the last century, the number of diseases associated with age, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, mental illness, and a number of oncological pathologies, has increased significantly, which has a negative impact on the overall quality of life. Studies in aged animal models have revealed progressive dyscoordination at multiple levels of regulation, including transcriptional, translational, and posttranslational processes, as a result of cellular stress and circadian disruption. The circadian clock is emerging as a key regulator maintaining physiological homeostasis and promoting healthy aging through the timely molecular coordination of essential cellular processes, such as stem cell function, cellular stress responses, and intertissue communications, which are disrupted during aging. Given the critical role of hypothalamic influences in the regulation of body physiology, metabolic control, sleep homeostasis and circadian rhythms, and their dependence on these processes, strategies aimed at improving hypothalamic and circadian function, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, offer new therapeutic options for various diseases associated with the aging process of the body.

Experiments were conducted at the Research Farm of Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur, Bihar, India, to study the population dynamics of insect pests in linseed varieties Neelum and Sabour Tisi-1 during the Rabi seasons of 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24, using a plot size of 1000 m². Six insect pests belonging to six families and genera were recorded: linseed bud fly (Dasyneura lini Barnes), capsule borer (Helicoverpa armigera Hubner), cutworm (Agrotis ipsilon Hufnagel), melon thrips (Thrips palmi Karny), blossom thrips (Frankliniella schultzei Trybom), and green peach aphid (Myzus persicae Sulzer). Additionally, two natural enemies were observed: the ladybird beetles (Coccinella septempunctata L. and Menochilus sexmaculatus F.) and lynx spider (Oxyopes spp.), all associated with the linseed varieties Neelum and Sabour Tisi-1. Among the insect pests, the linseed bud fly (Dasyneura lini Barnes) was identified as the most dominant pest, followed by thrips and the capsule borer. The highest bud fly infestation (26.84%) was observed in the Neelum variety at the dough stage, which was 2.83 times higher than in the Sabour Tisi-1 variety. The maximum number of nymphs and adult thrips (15.68 per plant) was recorded in the Neelum variety, which was 2.40 times higher than in Sabour Tisi-1. The highest number of grubs and adult ladybird beetles was observed at 1.08 per plant and 1.42 per plant in the Neelum and Sabour Tisi-1 varieties, respectively. Bud fly infestation was highly significantly and positively correlated with both maximum and minimum temperatures (r = 0.90 and r = 0.93 in Neelum; r = 0.92 and r = 0.92 in Sabour Tisi-1). Conversely, it was highly significantly and negatively correlated with maximum and minimum relative humidity (r = -0.78 and r = -0.76 in Neelum; r = -0.82 and r = -0.76 in Sabour Tisi-1). In conclusion, the Neelum variety was found to be more susceptible to insect pest attacks, followed by the Sabour Tisi-1 variety.

Urheberrecht und Training generativer KI-Modelle
Authors: Dornis Tim W. , Stober Sebastian
Published: September 2024

Generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) generates texts, images, music, and videos. The technology is based on extensive training with copyrighted data. In the USA, AI developers rely on "fair use"; in Europe, the prevailing view is that the exception for "Text and Data Mining" (TDM) applies. The interdisciplinary study refutes this approach, as generative AI training fundamentally differs from TDM. It also explains why AI developers outside Europe are immediately subject to EU copyright law if their AI systems are accessible in the EU. Overall, it becomes clear that a more thorough, technology-oriented consideration and an adaptation of the law to reality are required.
Dem Menschen nachgebildet
Authors: Schaub Manuel
Published: September 2024

Artifizielle Körper bilden eine besondere Objektgattung im Mittelalter und in der Frühneuzeit: Die Darstellungen oder Nachformungen des menschlichen Körpers in Lebensgröße dienten als Effigies von Herrscherpersönlichkeiten oder waren Automaten- Puppen für verschiedene Zwecke, auch als Androiden bezeichnet. Manuel Schaub geht erstmals den Gemeinsamkeiten dieser Körperrepräsentationen und -konstruktionen nach, dabei absichtlich die augenfälligen Unterschiede dieser Körperobjekte ignorierend. Fokussiert werden die verwendeten Materialien, die Präsentation der artifiziellen Körper sowie die Wahrnehmung durch Zeitgenossen und spätere Generationen nach Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts. In der Zusammenschau von Effigies und Androiden gelingt so die Rekonstruktion der Entwicklung eines Körperbildes vom späten Mittelalter bis in die Frühneuzeit.

Published: September 2024

: Tissue engineering is an emerging field in dentistry, and stem cell research has shown promise in regenerating new tissue. The three essential components for tissue engineering are stem cells, scaffolds, and growth/differentiation factors. Numerous studies have been conducted in regenerative medicine, and more recently in regenerative dentistry, utilizing different signals. In a pioneering study, dentin derivative signal (DDS), which was self-administered, was used as a differentiation factor for dental pulp stem cells to promote dentinogenesis in vitro. The study demonstrated that DDS can stimulate dental pulp stem cells to differentiate into other dental tissues, such as dentin.

Published: September 2024

Integrating Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning has posed new problems for administrative and academic procedures in higher educational organizations. This research proposed an E-Learning Tools Acceptance System for Higher Education that aims to assess the degree of acceptability and critical factors influencing the adoption of online educational resources among undergraduates in developing nations. The approach employed a self-administered survey of 1160 pupils from Higher Education Organizations in developing countries (Bangladesh and Russia). A factor analysis with confirmation was conducted to establish the relationship between the observable variables and latent variables or factors described in the proposed system. The results demonstrate a significant correlation between the Perceived Usefulness component and the factors of Instructional Preparedness and Autonomy in Learning. There is a substantial relationship between the Ease-of-Use component and the Reported Self-Efficacy Perceptions factor. The key elements influencing the acceptance of e-learning technologies among students in the examined group are the teacher’s planning, learning independence, and feelings of self-efficacy.
Assessing the relationship between inflation and policy interest rates in the context of Bangladesh
Authors:   Finance Division, Ministry of Finance, Bangladesh, Alom Md. Fardous
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study attempts to empirically assess the short and long-run relationship between inflation and policy interest rate in the context of Bangladesh. Methodology: Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) has been utilized using quarterly data over the first quarter of 2010 to second quarter of 2022. Findings: The empirical findings reveal that the inflation is inversely related to the changes in policy interest rates in the short and long-run indicating that any increase in policy interest rate leads to a decrease in inflation rate and vice versa. This finding is consistent with the conventional monetary policy theory. Practical Implications: The findings provide insights to the policymakers and practitioners suggesting that the policy rate remains as an effective monetary policy instrument to manage inflation. Originality/Value: This study adds to the existing limited literature of inverse relationship between inflation and central bank policy rate using most recent data set. The model used in this study has been rarely used in the previous literature. Research Limitations: The current study employs quantitative technique of bi-variate VECM which is prudent, however, further study may be conducted using multi-variate VECM.

Internet of things is a global network architecture that was created as a result of the interconnection and communication of numerous smart devices in the physical world over existing internet infrastructure in recent years. According to studies, over the previous 6-7 years, solutions for a variety of devices and Internet of Things platforms have made significant advancements. Interoperability problems do, occur because solution offers a distinct Internet of Things architecture, devices, APIs, and data formats. These interoperability problems are largely caused by the difficulties of connecting non interoperable Internet of Things devices to various Internet of Things platforms, vendor lock in, and the inability to create Internet Of Things apps that deliver cross-platform and/or cross domain data. The widespread deployment of Internet of Things technology is hampered by all of these issues. The ability of numerous IOT systems from various suppliers to cooperate has been improved through a number of initiatives by academics, corporations, and standards groups. Traditional operating systems now used on Internet hosts, as well as conventional operating systems, are unable for simultaneously meet the specifications of such a diverse array of devices. Therefore, a new, consistent operating system is needed to eliminate duplication in the price of creating and maintaining IOT products. In this article, the prerequisites for an IOT operating system are examined.

Historical buildings, as cultural artifacts standing at the intersection of the past and the present, have consistently woven their majestic threads into the intricate fabric of English literature. This study undertakes a comprehensive investigation into the multifaceted significance of these buildings, illuminating their roles as both tangible symbols of heritage and intangible sources of literary inspiration. The symbiotic relationship between historical buildings and literature is profound. These buildings, with their imposing architecture and storied histories, become much more than physical structures; they evolve into literary muses. Authors harness the visual and emotional potency of these edifices to imbue their works with authenticity and depth. Be it the haunting ruins of a medieval castle, the soaring arches of a cathedral, or the humble charm of a village church, historical buildings provide writers with a canvas on which to paint the backdrop of their narratives. They assume roles that extend beyond the mere setting, acting as silent witnesses to the unfolding stories, catalysts for character development, and mirrors reflecting societal values and shifts. These buildings often embody the cultural memory of a nation, embodying a heritage that shapes characters' perceptions and decisions. In this way, they serve as conduits through which authors explore themes of identity, belonging, and the passage of time. This study unveils how historical buildings become repositories of meaning, transcending their physical form to become potent literary symbols. It not only deepens our appreciation for the architectural wonders that have shaped civilizations but also underscores their indispensable role in shaping the narratives that continue to inspire and resonate within the realm of English literature

This research seeks to transform waste management in low-income communities like Nigeria by introducing intelligent recycling facilities equipped with IoT sensors and data analytics. These innovative facilities will optimize recycling processes, monitor material flows, and provide valuable insights on waste reduction and environmental impact. The goal is to address the pressing issue of waste production, which has become a significant concern in developing nations due to rising food consumption and population growth. In Nigeria, inadequate waste collection and disposal methods have led to environmental pollution and health crises. The common practice of dumping garbage on roads has resulted in unsightly piles of refuse, hindering the nation's beauty. To combat this, we propose the adoption of sustainable smart bins with efficient IoT applications. These smart bins will provide a futuristic solution for waste management, enabling remote monitoring and optimization of waste levels. The benefits of this IoT-based system include (1) Remote access for efficient level control (2) Improved time and energy efficiency (3) Reduced congestion in waste bins. By developing a low-cost, intelligent waste bin system with IoT technology, we can create a green and clean atmosphere within cities. This innovative approach will inform policy and practice, advancing environmental justice and sustainable development in marginalized areas.
