Modeling and Solving a Linear Integer Problem (PLNE) for the Optimal Localization of a Hub Air Transport in the WAEMU Zone
Authors: Ibrahima Abdoulaye Ali , Bisso Saley , Diagne Salimata Gueye
Published: May 2023

In this article, we propose a linear integer model for the optimal location of a hub for air traffic in the WAEMU zone. A hub represents for an airline a base where an essential part of its activities is concentrated. Its location must therefore be judiciously determined. The hub location problem is one of the new and promising areas of research in the field of location theory. In order to satisfy a demand, the location of the hub involves the movement of people, goods between origin destination pairs required. Hubs are applied to reduce the number of transport links between the origin and destination airports The proposed model minimizes the distances and takes into account the flow of passengers registered in the different airports and minimizes the total cost of the transfer via the hub airport. The simulations were made with the programming language Python.
Breaking the Caste Ceiling: Dalit Feminism in Bollywood
Authors: Mehta Jyoti , Adagale Dr. Anil
Published: May 2023

Given that the use of Dalit feminist theory in Bollywood films is a relatively new area of study, an article on this topic may have significant implications for both academics and the Indian film industry. Growing the intersectionality dialogue: Intersectionality, which recognises how many forms of oppression, such as caste, gender, class, and race, interact and have an impact on people's lives, is a central concept in feminist theory. By utilising Dalit feminist theory in Bollywood films, it may be possible to better understand caste and gender intersections in the Indian setting and how they emerge in the film business. This research could deepen feminist theory and broaden the intersectionality debate. It is important to highlight that Dalits are disproportionately underrepresented in both on-screen and behind-the-scenes professions in the film industry.
Incredulity of Grand-Narratives: Dystopic, Alternative, and Suppressed Narratives in Paul Auster’s Man in the Dark
Authors: Elyasi Faramarz , Hassani Ehsan
Published: May 2023

Paul Auster habitually uses multiple narrative structures in his novels and situates the reader in a mesh of narratives in which neither a real narrator is discerned nor the protagonist’s identity is distinguishable. In Man in the Dark, Auster uses two dystopic narrative lines in the novel with undistinguished characters’ identity to question the credulity of grand-narrative. In Lyotard’s theory of postmodernism, credulity of grand narratives is questioned since it disregards different voices in the novels. Brill and Brick are one character but with two functions in the novel. Brill tells a story consciously and tries to recreate a self-made story about Brick who is a semi-fabricated story of Brill who tries to deconstruct alternative America, though political decisions were different. The idea of dystopia, identity confusion, and temporal and spatial confusion in the novel reveals the possibility of a narration in one way or the other. Temporally, the past and present are connected through reinterpretations and imaginations which disproves the credulity of narratives in the present novel. Auster constructs and deconstructs identities and narratives in American setting and implies that most of the unspoken and suppressed aspects of narratives reduce the credulity of grand-narratives.
Interpretation of the Problem of World Linguistic Representation in Modern Linguistics
Authors: Narimonovna Boboyeva Muazzam
Published: May 2023

Currently, two terms are used interchangeably in research on this topic: "world view" and "world model". However, in our opinion, there is a serious difference in their meaning. The word "model" sounds like a logically organized, planned thing, "and the concept of a landscape has a somewhat special character, it reflects elements of creativity. For this reason, we will use the term "worldview" more often hereafter.

Authors: Чуракова А.А. , Каюмова Э.М.
Published: May 2023

В представленной статье рассмотрено коррозионное поведение и проведен анализ поверхности образцов сплава Ti49,0Ni51,0 в различных структурных (крупнозернистом, ультрамелкозернистом, полученном методом равноканального углового прессования закаленного образца, и ультрамелкозернистом после РКУП с предварительным старением) состояниях в растворах кислот – HCl и H2SO4. Исследования показали, что коррозионное разрушение в растворах кислот различной концентрации (1M, 3M) происходит наиболее интенсивно в крупнозернистом состоянии с повышенной концентрацией раствора кислот. Формирование ультрамелкозернистой структуры снижает скорость коррозии, однако ультрамелкозернистое состояние предварительно состаренного сплава повышает скорость коррозии по сравнению с состоянием без старения в растворе серной кислоты.

AI METHODS THAT CAN GENERATE LONGER TEXTS WITH MINIMAL INITIAL INPUT
Authors: Sándor Ágoston Pál
Published: May 2023

The article is devoted to the description of the work and the research of text generators generate longer texts with a minimum input of primary information. The research is interdisciplinary of NLP and carried out at the intersection of Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics. The emergence of the growth of web-based textual information has significantly accelerated the development of some scientific fields that have existed for many decades, but in the absence of much access to input data, they have not developed as rapidly as in the past two decades. There have been several promising ideas and experiments in this field for the automatic processing of natural language texts, which have already been implemented in many of the systems used, including many commercial systems. In my research, I try to better understand and compare existing CL applications and their operation in each topic. However, specific applications fall into one topic, with little or no difference in their area of operation and application. The methods NLP in the field of artificial intelligence were described. The most important and traceable form of communication is writing. Artificial intelligence and automation are at the heart of the ongoing fourth industrial revolution. During the research process, the author drew several conclusions during the research process. Among other things, he understood the importance of data vectorization and that any abstract process can be well modelled with mathematical processes. Although the use of different text generators are based on AI, the role of man is not negligible, as setting input parameters and checking output results for different methods still requires human control to this day. The layout and “quality assurance” of the text is the responsibility of AI researchers. Various techniques and methods have evolved and supplemented significantly over the past 20 years, with the latest text generators almost surpassing the framework and quality of text written by a person. This does not mean that in the future we will only read machine-generated text. Intuition and creativity still require the presence of man to this day, the machine processes the set of information we enter or enter and processes the various patterns and then generates texts using them.

With the rapid development of society and IT, tangible changes are taking place in the educational system and programs, it becomes possible to explore cause-and-effect relationships and relationships between them, to find solutions in a non-standard way. Technologies, as a kind of mechanism, are capable of using new means and ways of working in the education system, embodied in a real mode. Any technologies should contribute to inadequate solutions, demonstrate their effectiveness, help to find the correct answer to the questions and problems posed, and solve them in a non-standard way. Considering design as an effective product for future education, it is necessary to learn how to identify connections between phenomena, objects, objects, observe changes, find interesting connections, pose an original question: how to change, combine, transform, turn over, replace, align, find analogy, to solve in an original way - all this leads to the formation of hard-soft-vital skills, and independent and creative, search work and the successful implementation of innovative technologies in the design process bring good results. The article discusses three groups of technologies developed and revised by us for design according to certain characteristics and in the direction of performing functions: technologies that provided non-standard, original solutions; technologies related to rethinking and transformation; creative design technologies, principles of working with these technologies.
THE ROLE OF NON-LINGUISTICS AND KINESICS IN DAILY LIFE COMMUNICATIONS IN EGYPT
Authors: Eladawy M. A.
Published: May 2023

This article is devoted to the research of how the use of nonverbal forms of communications eases the interaction between people in daily life circumstances. The research revealed that in crowded cities or always busy work atmospheres like restaurants or offices, it turns out that the use of kinesics and body language makes it easier to communicate - saving a lot of time and thus being more productive. Taking into consideration Egypt - which is ranked 14th among the most populous countries in the world, we have done a study to analyse the effect of using nonverbal forms of communication on the overall meaning of speech, and it turned out that it complements, emphasises and strengthens the meaning, and clearly delivers the thoughts of the speaker who sometimes can’t express what he needs to say using verbal forms of speech. In general, gestures offer a better representation of the person and keep a good contact with the listeners, keeping their attentiveness. It proved out that most of the emotions and feelings can’t be expressed just by words, and that the use of gestures and illustrations is sometimes a must to completely deliver the intended meaning. In connection with all this, gestures open the door for the creation of new words, since not everything that can be expressed using a gesture can be explained in words. Even though there are no dictionaries or any formal references for local gestures, there is a need to involve more professional approaches to the study of gestures, thus increasing the word base of our dictionaries, which would eventually increase the general cultural level of societies.

The focus of attention is concentrated on the emotional concept, which expresses image, evaluation and cultural significance. On the basis of the studied linguistic researches in the field of language theory the concepts “language picture of the world”, “concept” and “emotional concept” are revealed. The article is the continuation of the research of the concept “tenderness” representation in Russian and Spanish linguocultures. The analysis of the data of etymological, explanatory dictionaries, dictionaries of synonyms and antonyms has allowed to allocate semantic volume of a concept (nuclear area). To determine the content of the near-core area of the concept “tenderness” its explication in the space of the text is analyzed. The reflection of the concept in literary, fiction, journalistic, scientific, everyday texts by means of methods of the contextual analysis which purpose was to reveal new semantic features of the concept, given by the text and situation (context) is investigated. During the contextual analysis the data of the documents with the occurrence of the units “tenderness” and “tender” in the national corpus of the Russian language (1617 documents) and “ternura” in the national corpus of the Spanish language (1484 documents) were studied. Based on the study of the functioning and combinability of the unit “tenderness” in the Russian and Spanish texts, the main characteristics and components of values of the peri-nuclear area of the concept were identified. The analysis of the unit combinability made it possible to schematically display and compare its action orientation. According to the results of the contextual analysis the groups of cognitive features of the concept “tenderness” in Russian and Spanish were distinguished and compared with each other in percentage ratio. On the basis of comparison of the contents of the peri-nuclear area of the concept “tenderness” the most frequent components of meanings characterizing “tenderness” as a feeling and character of relations between people (between lovers, people, experiencing affection to each other) were revealed.

Published: May 2023

Abstract: We aim to make a wireless remote-control model of a submarine whose motion can be controlled from outside of the water with the help of a transmitter and receiver. Today, RC (radio-controlled) submarines can be used for underwater surveillance. The project is cost-optimized and uses readily available parts. The most important thing in an RC submarine is the control system and waterproofing of the electronic components. The key components of the control circuit are the ESC, radio control module, and propeller motor. Direction control uses servo motors to navigate the surface unit. The ballast tank is a PVC water bottle of cylindrical shape. Building a control system for the ballast system is a major challenge for this project. Circuits are sensitive and prone to interference. The submarine can be controlled with a remote control, and an onboard wireless camera can broadcast underwater scenes.

Authors: Pawar Rutik
Published: May 2023

Abstract: Self-retaining surgical retractors are devices used to hold tissues or organs in place during surgical procedures without the need for manual assistance. These retractors consist of two or more blades that are designed to be inserted into the surgical incision and then expanded to hold the tissues or organs apart. By holding the tissues or organs in place, self-retaining retractors provide a clear and unobstructed view of the surgical site, which is essential for accurate and safe surgical procedures. There are several types of self-retaining surgical retractors available, each with its own unique design and functionality. For example, the Weitlaner retractor features sharp prongs that grip the tissues and hold them apart, while the Gelpi retractor has a self-retaining mechanism that allows the blades to be locked in place once inserted into the incision

Abstract: Music has a powerful impact on people and is extensively utilised for relaxation, mood control, stress relief, and illness prevention, as well as to sustain mental and physical work. Music has been nowadays acting as an stress-buster for every human. However opting out the song on the mood is so essential. It would be so skeptical for a person to decide the song to listen from heavy existing choices. Human emotions have become increasingly important in recent years. Human sentiments underpin emotion, which can be expressed or not. Emotion represents the individual behavior of humans, which can take several forms. The extraction of emotion states the individual state of behavior of humans. In this presentation hitting those right tracks for desired person is Fisher’s Face algorithm (LDA) briefly. In our proposed system a mood based music player is created which performs real time mood detection and suggests songs based on the detected mood

Abstract: The days when we ran our company based on assumptions and presuming that all of our consumers had similar demands are long gone. To have high customer retention and increase sales in the rapidly evolving business world of today, we need to know our clients inside and out. Customer segmentation is a tried-and-true strategy for achieving this. Businesses can better utilize their marketing budgets by segmenting their markets. They can also get an advantage over rival enterprises and, most importantly, show that they have a better understanding of their customers' needs and wants. Customer segmentation is the process of grouping your consumers according to shared traits like habits or demographics so you can market to them more successfully. In order to keep customers and make money from them, customer segmentation has become very popular in recent years. In the study that follows, customers of various organizations are categorized according to their behavioral characteristics, such as spending and income. By taking behavioral factors into consideration, these methods are more effective than others. Customers are categorized based on behavioral characteristics using a machine algorithm known as the k-means clustering method. Using such clusters, the business can target certain clients and offer the material to them through advertising campaigns and social media platforms that they are truly interested in.

Published: May 2023

Abstract: Agriculture plays a crucial role in India’s economy, supporting the livelihoods of 58 percent of the population and contributing 17-18 percent of the GDP. However, plant pests anddiseases pose significant challenges, leading to biotic stress that hampers yield potential and diminishes the quality and quantity of food. Safeguarding crops against diseases is imperative to meet the increasing food demand. Globally, the losses caused by pathogens, pests, and weeds account for 20-40 percent of agricultural productivity. The detection of diseases in cultivated plants is a vital and complex task in agricultural practices. Conventional methods of disease detection and classification are time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to find optimized solutions. This issue is particularly problematic as farmers and professionals in developing countries require efficient methods to monitor and identify diseases affecting their crops. The implementation of program-based identification for plant diseases offers advantages such as improved detection, reduced human effort, and time savings. In this article, a smart and efficient technique is proposed to detect and classify plant diseases with higher accuracy than existing methods. The pro- posed technique employs Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)and focuses on leaf diseases as the main area of interest.

Abstract: In today’s world digital documents are a major part of everyone’s life as they have a wide scope of usage. However handwritten notes still contain loads of important and valuable information. In our research, we explore the different methods of Optical Character Recognition, or OCR which can be used for digitizing manual notes. Along with it we deep dive into the concept of Topic Detection and Identification and methods to implement it which are useful for extracting the crux of any document or piece of information. With the aim of integrating both processes into a single system, we study various algorithms involving neural networks like ANN, RNN, and CNN, and methods such as Tesseract, KNN, and LSTM that are used for implementing OCR while techniques such as K means clustering, TF-IDF, LDA and LINGO have been employed to perform topic detection and identification. Based on our study and results from various papers, we have decided to use CNN for OCR

Tachyoryctes splendens were also recorded through indirect evidences.
About 52.9% of the identified small mammals were endemic to Ethiopia. A
significant variation was observed in the captures of small mammals. The
capture rate was higher in live traps (23.85%) than snap traps
(8.26%). The diversity and distribution of small mammal species varied
among habitats. The highest species diversity (H’=1.74) was recorded in
Albesa Forest, while the least was in Qibate Forest (1.43). The highest
number of individuals were recorded in Lakeshore Forest (27.73%),
whereas the least was in Erica Forest (4.27%). M. natalensis (30.86%)
and S. albipes (27.53%) were the two most abundant species, whereas L.
imhausi (0.1%) was the least. Wenchi montane forests are one of the
most important homes to unique small mammals that need urgent
conservation actions.

Our aim was to estimate changes in sexual function and semen quality in
men recovering from infection since the Omicron pandemic started in
China in late 2022. We collected 1540 questionnaires and assessed male
function before infection and acute phase after infection by using
International Index of Erectile Function-5, Premature Ejaculation
Diagnostic Tool, and Arizona Sexual Experience Scale. We also collected
the before and after semen analysis results of 247 male patients. During
the acute phase after infection, the proportion of erectile dysfunction
was significantly higher than before infection, but ejaculatory function
was not significantly altered； In addition, semen analysis showed
significant difference in semen concentration, semen activity and PR a+b
sperm forward movement after infection compared to pre-infection.
Omicron can affect erectile function as well as sexual experience in
male patients in the acute phase. The risk factors for decreased sexual
function due to Omicron included body temperature and anxiety during
infection.

The Zero Trust network architecture is an embodiment of the Zero Trust
security model, and is progressively being utilized for the improvement
of security standards of the current security infrastructures.
Fine-grained access control is one of the primary principles of
developing zero trust solutions, in which it is expected to manage an
overwhelming amount of security policies. Managing the compliance of
policies at fine grain level is thus necessary for utmost security
stature. This paper aims at developing a novel approach to improve the
task of policy management workflow and compliance tracking.

Published: May 2023

Recently, nanomedicine have been successfully applied in the cancer
therapy. However, how to precisely control the drug release from
nanomedicine in tumor tissue and overcome the hypoxic microenvironment
of tumor tissue is still an important challenge in the development of
nanomedicine. In this work, a new type of drug-loaded nanoparticles
P(AAm-co-AN)-AuNRs@CeO2-DOX (PA-DOX) was prepared by combining
high-efficiency photothermal reagents, critical up-conversion
temperature polymer layer and anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) for the
treatment of liver cancer. In this system, CeO2 can decompose hydrogen
peroxide to H2O2 and O2 alleviate the anaerobic microenvironment of
liver cancer cells. As a photothermal reagent, AuNRs@CeO2 can convert
near-infrared light into heat energy to achieve local heat to kill
cancer cells and ablate solid tumors. In addition, the elevated
temperature would enable the polymer layer to undergo a phase transition
to release more DOX to achieve a controlled release mechanism, which
will open up a new horizon for clinical cancer treatment

Herein, we systematically investigated the reaction mechanism of
n-pentane cracking on the Ag/ZSM-5 bifunctional catalyst featuring both
dehydrogenation and cracking capabilities. Specifically, overall
cracking network of n-pentane was comprehensively constructed to show
the roles of metal dehydrogenation sites and acid sites respectively, in
which metal Ag could substitute the H of the Brønsted acid site to form
the Al-O-Ag linkage with enhanced adsorption and activation of
n-pentane, while Brønsted acid site with weak acid strength relay to
promote cracking reaction. Thanks to this synergy of the two active
sites, the apparent activation energy of n-pentane cracking to light
olefins was decreased from 82.77 KJ/mol to 68.26 KJ/mol and the
proportion of specific path (C5H12→H2+C5H10) in n-pentane monomolecular
cracking reaction increased from 14.62% to 69.24%. In addition,
0.57Ag/ZSM-5 catalyst exhibited the conversion of n-pentane up to
67.55wt%, which improved the performance of the parent ZSM-5 by
13.42wt%.
