Published: February 2024

В статье для совершенствования технологий подтверждения валидности документов рассматривается комплексный подход использования биометрической подписи для бумажной и электронной форм хранения и передачи данных. Сравниваются методы электронной и речевой подписи, при этом последняя рассматривается в качестве носителя наиболее важной контекстной информации защищаемого документа, так и индивидуальных биометрических характеристик автора. Для этой цели предусмотрена передача в составе биоподписи информации о состоянии сердечно-сосудистой, нервной и дыхательной системы автора. Показано, что указанные дополнительные биопараметры позволяют значительно повысить достоверность оценки текущего функционального и психоэмоционального состояния автора документа. Применение технологии биомаркирования позволяет выявлять случаи неадекватного состояния, а также факты принуждения к подписи и утверждению документа. Значение интегрированного показателя качества разработанных алгоритмических и программных средств подтверждения валидности документов за счет использования биоподписи составило 99,4%. Сравнение биоподписи с речевой подписью показало выигрыш первой на 46%.

The article considers a comprehensive approach to using biometric signatures for paper and electronic forms of data storage and transmission in order to improve the technologies for confirming the validity of documents. The methods of electronic and speech signatures are compared, while the latter is considered as the carrier of the most important contextual information of the protected document, as well as the individual biometric characteristics of the author. For this purpose, the transfer of information about the state of the author's cardiovascular, nervous and respiratory system as part of the bio-signature is provided. It is shown that these additional bioparameters can significantly increase the reliability of the assessment of the current functional and psycho-emotional state of the author of the document. The use of biomarking technology makes it possible to identify cases of inadequate condition, as well as facts of coercion to sign and approve a document. The value of the integrated quality indicator of the developed algorithmic and software tools for confirming the validity of documents through the use of bio-signatures was 99.4%. A comparison of a bio-signature with a speech signature showed a 46% gain for the first one.

Authors: Nobre Nogueira Guilherme , Pedro Robson Costa Passos  , Maria Tereza de Oliveira Souza  , Rafaela Fernandes Gonçalves
Published: February 2024

This epidemiological study analyzed mental health in the Northeast region of Brazil from 2011 to 2021. The results reveal complex intersections of socioeconomic, cultural, demographic, and gender factors significantly impacting the prevalence and causes of mental disorders. The use of psychoactive substances emerged as the leading cause of death, especially among men, highlighting a gap in public policies to mitigate high consumption rates. The relationship between low education and mental morbidity, coupled with economic factors, deepens the understanding of regional disparities. A significant gap was observed in promoting accessibility to mental health services for men, reflecting cultural and social influences inhibiting help-seeking. The age between 50 and 59 stood out as a critical period, with 90.54% of deaths related to mental disorders due to psychoactive substance use. Deficiencies in the mental health system, such as inadequate resource distribution, indicate an urgent need for more inclusive and gender-sensitive policies to effectively address the challenges faced by the Northeastern population.
PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ON ALGAL GROWTH
Authors: Raju Potharaju  , M. Aruna
Published: February 2024

Identifying the biological processes that influence algal growth is essential for ecosystem management. Algae are little aquatic plants that exist either as solitary cells or in regions of diverse dimensions. Zooplankton rely on them as a crucial component of the aquatic food chain, since they provide as their primary source of nutrition. Algae, via the process of photosynthesis, produce oxygen that is subsequently released into the water, serving as a vital resource for fish and other aquatic organisms. This work presents a methodology for estimating the biological characteristics of algae, which play a crucial role in the regulation of eutrophication, via the use of modelling and exploration methodologies. The estimation of algae growth and respiration rates was conducted by using a one-dimensional water quality model and two-dimensional regionally distributed water quality data taken from Lower Manair Dam of Karimnagar District, Telangana. A total of 24 algae were detected in the sample. The most abundant types of algae include Green algae, Flagellate algae, Cyanobacteria, and Diatoms. In the summer season, 17 types of algae were found, while in the spring season, 20 types were detected. The estimation of biological characteristics of algae in natural freshwater environments may be achieved by a physico-chemical technique, which offers an alternate option to sampling and in situ testing.

Authors: - Efrizal , Ismail S , Ramli M.R. , Ameen F , Md.Nasir N.Nazirah , Lakshmikandan M
Published: February 2024

Salmonellosis is a commonly occurring bacterial disease in chickens that leads to increased mortality, as well as a decline in the quality and quantity of hen eggs. This, in turn, causes financial losses in the poultry industry. The objective of this research was to investigate the potential of Lactobacillus plantarum and novel B. salmalaya 139SI as probiotics in to improve performance of laying hens and the quality of eggs. The study at Chuan Chuan Poultry Farm employed a completely randomized design, rearing 30,000 Hisex brown layer day-old chicks in three groups—control (antibiotics only), B. salmalaya 139SI probiotic, and L. plantarum probiotic—over 10 months, with probiotics administered in drinking water at a 0.5% concentration. Variables observed include growth performance of layer, egg weight, the different components of the eggs, such as the eggshells, egg yolks, and egg whites, were also examined to detect the presence of Salmonella spp. Various tests were conducted, including biochemical testing, serotyping, conventional detection using specific agars, and a modern detection method utilizing 16S rRNA sequencing. L. plantarum treatment in drinking water showed significantly different results (P < 0.05) than the others, with a final bodyweight of 2071.98 ± 41.72 g/chick/10 months and egg weight of 69.52 ± 2.36 g/egg. The results from all the tests indicated that both probiotics, L. plantarum and B. salmalaya 139SI, can produce eggs free from Salmonella contamination. Moreover, the treatment with L. plantarum demonstrated significant protective effects against Salmonella infection in the eggs, surpassing the protective capacity of B. salmalaya 139SI.

Mass Mortality of Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in South-West Hungary
Authors: Lakatos Ferenc , Molnár Miklós
Published: February 2024

The mass mortality of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Hungary, which started in 2003 and went on through 2004, is the result of a typical damage chain. Mortality appeared first of all in beech forests close or outside of its native distribution area. The most significant reason was the drought period from 2000 to 2004, which weakened the trees, and favoured the development of different pests and pathogens. Characteristic symptoms were frequent at stand margins and in stands thinned for regeneration. The direct causes of the mortality were insects, the green jewel beetle (Agrilus viridis) and the beech bark beetle (Taphrorychus bicolor) as well as the fungus species Biscogniauxia nummularia. With the improvement of weather conditions a continuous recovery of the stands has been observed since 2005.
Is Non-invasive Genetic Population Estimation via Faeces Sampling Feasible for Abundant Mammals with Low Defecation Rates? A Pilot Study on Free Ranging Wild Boar (Sus scrofa)in South-West Germany
Authors: Ebert Cornelia , Kolodziej Karolina , Schikora Tim Frederic , Schulz Holger K. , Hohmann Ulf
Published: February 2024

Wild boar is a widespread and abundant species for which until now reliable and accurate population estimates are still lacking. In this study, a method based on non-invasive genetic sampling applied in a mark-recapture framework is tested. Faeces collected along line transects serve as DNA source. Aim of the study was to evaluate efficiency and practicability of the sampling design and to assess if a sample size sufficient for reliable population estimation can be achieved. In a 12-day sampling trial which was conducted in winter 2006 and covered approx. 25 km², 4 persons collected 141 fresh wild boar faeces originating from 74 different individuals. This sample size was below those recommended for non-invasive mark-recapture studies. Population estimates calculated using program CAPTURE strongly differed between models. Even though the non-invasive approach worked in principle for wild boar, further research will have to focus on increasing sample size while keeping cost and effort acceptable for a large scale application of the method.
The Current Status of Elementary Music Education in Yangon, Myanmar
Authors: Moses Saw , Fyr Kyle R. , Chiengchana Natee
Published: February 2024

Public schools in Myanmar have offered music education as part of the regular curriculum since 2000; however, very little information is available about the current teaching practices of music education as well as differences and problems regarding music education in different types of schools. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of elementary music education in Yangon, Myanmar in three different types of schools: Public schools, private schools, and international schools. A mixed-method design was employed to achieve the purposes of the study. Qualitative data were collected using in-depth interviews with seven key informants. Quantitative data were collected from 93 respondents—33 music teachers and 60 classroom teachers responsible for teaching music—using a web-based questionnaire and telephone interviews. Both the quantitative and qualitative results indicated that compared to private schools and public schools, international schools receive more practical support in terms of qualified music teachers, standard music programmes, and excellent facilities. Although the Ministry of Education in Myanmar has commenced curriculum reform to include music as a compulsory subject in public schools at the elementary level since the 2016-2017 academic year, there are still many challenges regarding music training for teachers, the effectiveness of music curricula, and adequate support for music facilities and other necessities such as musical instruments, teaching aids, musical equipment, and educational resources. The findings of the study also confirm that the support of the government is crucial for music education policy and partnership in Public schools and Private schools.
Scoring Alien Worlds: World Music Mashups in 21st Century Sci-Fi and Fantasy TV, Film and Video Games
Authors: Stock Jonathan
Published: February 2024

This article provides three case studies of the use of world music resources to build alien worlds in mainstream screen media with Sci-Fi or Fantasy settings. The case studies—the TV series Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome, the film Avatar and the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) video game World of Warcraft—show how composers and associated music professionals in the early twenty-first century increasingly draw on such sonic materials to generate a rich sense of sonic otherness and note the means they employ to sidestep such music’s existing geographical and cultural references. Each case study explores a contrasting subject position—composer, music consultant and consumer—to better trace not only the creation of such soundtracks but also what senses disparate groups of ordinary listeners subsequently make of them. The examples suggest that outside the sphere of big-budget cinema there is a growing confidence in both the creation and reception of such sonic projections, and that, when sufficiently attracted by what they hear, listeners may actively seek out ways to follow-up on the expressive characterisations put forward in such soundtracks. Three broad types of mashup are uncovered, those that work with world music ingredients by insinuation, integration and creolisation.
World Music Pedagogy: Gateway to Global Citizenship and Children’s Creative Impulses
Authors: Cantarelli Vita Juliana , Campbell Patricia Shehan
Published: February 2024

In this article, we seek to examine ways in which educators can bring music of world cultures into classrooms of children in a respectful, sensitive manner. Myriad issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the center of the conversation among music educators across the globe. As educators are committed to issues of globaliation, social justice, and cultural democracy, we intend here to discuss World Music Pedagogy (WMP) as a means of fostering children’s musical and cultural awareness in embracing both local and global communities. These involve careful considerations, as WMP is a multi-dimensional learning process that recognises the importance of deep and reflective listening as gateway to knowing the music in order to participate in it, to perform it, to create new works within the style of the studied music, and to know its cultural meaning, context, and function. Lastly, we present three “classroom portraits” through activities with examples from Brazilian, Ugandan, and Canadian Arctic Indigenous cultures that can open pathways that lead learners to a comprehensive experience with music in and as culture.
Katastrophe und Rettung bei Stifter und Raabe
Authors: Isengard Laura
Published: February 2024

Abstract Die folgenden Überlegungen befragen die beiden Branderzählungen Kazensilber von Adalbert Stifter und Frau Salome von Wilhelm Raabe auf spezifisch Poetiken der Katastrophe. Stifters Kazensilber fängt zwei katastrophale Ereignisse
in Rettung auf. Dies gelingt über die Figur des braunen Mädchens, das innerhalb der realistischen Erzählung ebenso rätselhaft wie stumm bleibt. Die an keine transzendentale Instanz mehr gebundene Rettung markiert eine Leerstelle im Text, die zunächst durch die Zunahme
des Erzähltempos kaschiert wird, schlussendlich jedoch aus der (Text-)Ordnung exkludiert werden muss. Demgegenüber verschiebt sich in Raabes Frau Salome die Katastrophe auf das erzählte Bildwerk und kann selbst nicht mehr in der Rettung aufgefangen werden. In Frau
Salome kommt es nicht zu einer Auflösung des Kontingenten in der Zeit. Raabe etabliert eine Poetik des Katastrophischen, die Lücken und Brüche offen ausstellt.
Meeresgewalt. Zur Funktion von Flutkatastrophen in Wilhelm Jensens Posthuma und Vor der Elbmündung
Authors: Schallenberg Felix
Published: February 2024

Abstract Der Beitrag befragt die Erzähltexte Posthuma (1872) und Vor der Elbmündung (1903/1904) von Wilhelm Jensen in Hinblick auf literarische Funktionalisierungen von Flutkatastrophen. Während beide Texte oberflächlich als unterhaltsame
Liebesgeschichten lesbar sind, verhandeln sie auf einer sekundären Bedeutungsebene übergreifende kulturelle Konflikte. Im Fokus steht im Speziellen, inwieweit sich anhand der ästhetischen Darstellung sowie des Umgangs der Figuren mit der Flutkatastrophe soziale, glaubensbezogene
und geschlechtliche Differenzen eruieren lassen. Neben der Erarbeitung textanalytischer Befunde zum entsprechenden Literatursystem wirbt der Beitrag außerdem dafür, einen bisher stark vernachlässigten Autor in den Forschungsdiskurs zum literarischen Realismus zu integrieren.
FROM EUCLID TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Published: February 2024

We give 19 proofs of the famous Angle Bisector Theorem from Euclid's Elements. The first proof is the Euclid's original proof, the remaining proofs use the methods of Euclidean Geo\-metry, Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry, Complex Numbers, and Gr\"obner Bases. The Gr\"obner Bases proof is in the area of Automatic Proving and Artificial Intelligence, so that the proofs in a way symbolise the development of mathematics from 300 BC (the Euclid's time) to modern days. We discuss what the proofs illustrate and why they are important for Math Education. All the proofs, except the first one, are original.
Understanding the heterogeneity of anxiety using a translational neuroscience approach
Authors: Drzewiecki Carly M. , Fox Andrew S.
Published: February 2024

Anxiety disorders affect millions of people worldwide and present a challenge in neuroscience research because of their substantial heterogeneity in clinical presentation. While a great deal of progress has been made in understanding the neurobiology of fear and anxiety, these insights have not led to effective treatments. Understanding the relationship between phenotypic heterogeneity and the underlying biology is a critical first step in solving this problem. We show translation, reverse translation, and computational modeling can contribute to a refined, cross-species understanding of fear and anxiety as well as anxiety disorders. More specifically, we outline how animal models can be leveraged to develop testable hypotheses in humans by using targeted, cross-species approaches and ethologically informed behavioral paradigms. We discuss reverse translational approaches that can guide and prioritize animal research in nontraditional research species. Finally, we advocate for the use of computational models to harmonize cross-species and cross-methodology research into anxiety. Together, this translational neuroscience approach will help to bridge the widening gap between how we currently conceptualize and diagnose anxiety disorders, as well as aid in the discovery of better treatments for these conditions.
The Influence of Feminist Archival Theory on State Archival Exhibitions
Authors: Banks Catherine
Published: February 2024

It has been widely noted in academic scholarship that over the last few years there has been a significant shift within the heritage and cultural sector towards more inclusive and community focused practices. In particular, the transition towards community accountability and institutional participation in social justice has meant that state archives are currently more open to adopting feminist archival approaches than ever before. Through the examination of two case studies within an Australian context, this reflection will explore the ways in which feminist thought has begun to influence the curation of archival data in exhibitions by state-run archives.

"Four Strategic Approaches": From a Dilemma to a Strategy for Improving the Quality of Public Education Services
Authors: HB Amran
Published: February 2024

The implementation of policy measures aimed at granting educational autonomy to schools, so granting them substantial managerial authority, has not effectively resolved the issue at hand. School-based administration only focuses on substantive education service matters, whereas the Ministry of Education and Culture oversees public schools and the Ministry of Religion oversees religious schools. This study employs a strategic management methodology to reveal diverse perspectives on these matters inside the organization's strategic operations. Interviews conducted with 30 high-ranking officials from the two technical organizations responsible for overseeing regional education services in the province indicated that there was still a significant disparity of around 50% between the desired number of teachers in the regions and the actual number of teachers already employed. Interviews conducted with 60 school principals in various regions have revealed a significant scarcity of teachers and a prevalence of instructors with subpar qualifications. Observations and document analysis confirm the existence of objective reality, identify obstacles, and offer data for developing initiatives to enhance service quality. This study presents a problem-solving framework known as the "Four strategic approaches" to enhance the quality of educational public services. This strategy model focuses on two service components that provide challenges: (1) the provision of comprehensive educational services by school institutions, and (2) the administration of education services by the regional Ministry of Education and Culture and Ministry of Religion. The text examines the primary stakeholders in secondary education services and presents four strategies to mitigate both direct and indirect risks and provide solutions.
Darting from pillar to post: Policy inconsistency and stakeholder contestations in curriculum review
Authors: Chimbi Godsend Tawanda
Published: February 2024

One of the most contentious issues facing politicians and scholars in the 21st century is the future of the school curriculum in a rapidly changing and highly digitised global village. This study explores stakeholder perspectives on Zimbabwe's school curriculum and their input during its review amidst the challenge of balancing traditional education with emerging technological, economic, and social demands. This reflects a global dilemma where schools strive to adapt to rapid changes without overwhelming the curriculum, highlighting the critical role of policy reform in navigating these pressures. Using capability theory as the theoretical lens and critical discourse analysis as the research design, this qualitative study generated data from 19 primary documents published on Zimbabwe's 2023 curriculum review. Parents, school administrators, teachers, and teacher trade unions complained about curriculum overload, the wrong timing of consultations, poor remuneration for teachers, and the need for a technical and vocational-oriented curriculum. While government policymakers argued that Curriculum Assessment Learning Activities (CALA) promote learners' creativity, research, and problem-solving skills, the user system vehemently opposed the curriculum overload caused by CALA. Each learner was expected to do a CALA project in every subject they were taking. Stakeholder contestations pressured policymakers to dart from pillar to post in search of a curriculum to pacify competing and conflicting interests. Therefore, policy reformers must seriously consider curriculum review input from the users if impending curriculum changes are to be successful following the review process.

Science, Law and the Raj: Cultural Fields of Fish(y) Fact
Authors: SRIDHAR AARTHI
Published: February 2024

Nineteenth century fact-making in British India was a cultural endeavour shared among its diverse colonial experts. Through a critical sociological reading of archival documents and official records, this paper contributes to aquatic-marine historiography by unpacking utterances and deeds of irrigation engineers, pisciculture proponents, naturalists and administrators regarding the facts of ‘injury to fish supplies’ and the preservation of these supplies by law. It argues that early scientific fisheries investigation and their culmination in the Indian Fisheries Act, 1897 were not the result of a successful separation of science and politics, or of fact from interest. Rather, colonial cultures of fact-making were forged in the interplay of the imperial utilitarianism and hybridity inherent to rule-making in the colony, which renders early fisheries science in India as a field of postcolonial politics by other means.

Transmission spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study exoplanet atmospheres, which can be affected by the ability of stellar photospheric heterogeneity to mimic or mask exoplanetary spectral signatures. The canonical HD 189733 system provides a textbook example of this spectroscopic discrepancy with features that have been variously interpreted as signatures of scattering by haze in the planetary atmosphere or unocculted spots on the stellar disk. Here, we leverage three archival data sets from the Hubble Space Telescope to directly infer the covering fraction of HD 189733 A and explore the evidence for photospheric heterogeneity in the out-of-transit spectra. We model the stellar spectrum using one to three spectral components in a nested-sampling framework, finding that the two-component model (photosphere and spot) is preferred for all data sets. We find photospheric and spot temperatures of

K, respectively, which are consistent across data sets. The spot covering fraction is large and varies between 38% ± 4% and 47% ± 3%. Combined with time-domain insights from Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite data revealing HD 189733 A's 1.4% peak-to-peak variability, our findings imply that the majority of the spots must be distributed axisymmetrically, e.g., in a densely filled latitudinal band or at the poles. More work with complementary data sets is necessary to investigate those possible arrangements.

We present Very Large Array 1.3 cm continuum and 22.2 GHz H2O maser observations of the high-mass protostellar object IRAS 19035+0641 A. Our observations unveil an elongated bipolar 1.3 cm continuum structure at scales ≲500 au, which, together with a rising in-band spectral index, strongly suggests that the radio emission toward IRAS 19035+0641 A arises from an ionized jet. In addition, eight individual water maser spots well aligned with the jet axis were identified. The Stokes V spectrum of the brightest H2O maser line (∼100 Jy) shows a possible Zeeman splitting and is well represented by the derivatives of two Gaussian components fitted to the Stokes I profile. The measured B
los are 123 (±27) and 156 (±8) mG, translating to a preshock magnetic field of ≈7 mG. Subsequent observations to confirm the Zeeman splitting showed intense variability in all the water maser spots, with the brightest maser completely disappearing. The observed variability in a 1 yr timescale could be the result of an accretion event. These findings strengthen our interpretation of IRAS 19035+0641 A as a high-mass protostar in an early accretion/outflow evolutionary phase.

⊙ for mass completeness and compare their physical properties with those of luminous galaxies. We find that, at the present epoch (z = 0), dark galaxies are predominantly located in void regions without star-forming gas. We also find that dark galaxies tend to have larger sizes and higher spin parameters than luminous galaxies. In the early universe, dark and luminous galaxies show small differences in the distributions of spin and local environment estimates, and the difference between the two samples becomes more significant as they evolve. Our results suggest that, unlike luminous galaxies, dark galaxies tend to be initially formed in less dense regions and could not form stars because of heating from cosmic reionization and few interactions and mergers with other systems containing stars. This study based on numerical simulations can provide important hints for validating dark galaxy candidates in observations and for constraining galaxy formation models.

A key objective for the future exploration of the icy moon Enceladus is the characterization of the habitable conditions in its internal ocean. Radio science instrumentation on board a spacecraft in a low-altitude orbit about Enceladus would enable gravity measurements that are fundamental to providing constraints on its internal structure. We present here the concept of operations and expected results of the gravity investigation for a New Frontiers–class mission. Numerical simulations are carried out to determine the gravity field in spherical harmonics to degree and order 30 and the Love number k
2 and its phase. By combining Enceladus’s shape measured by Cassini and the geophysical constraints obtained through the processing of the simulated radio science data, a Bayesian inference network is used for the interior model inversion. Our results indicate that the gravity investigation would enable tight constraints on core radius and density, ocean depth and density, and ice shell rigidity. By assuming a high core rigidity and a preliminary modeling of dissipation in the ice shell, our interior model inversion also yields information on the ice shell viscosity. Further data on the hydrosphere properties might be gathered through optical navigation data by accurately measuring Enceladus’s orientation model.
