Published: July 2024

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2012-13 and 2013-14 to study the influence of different sources and levels of sulphur on plant nutrient status of cabbage and various soil characteristics. The experiment was laid in a randomized block design with three replications. Three sources of sulphur i.e., gypsum, elemental sulphur and potassium sulphate with three levels i.e., 40, 70 and 100 kg S ha-1 for each source were given in the experiment. Potassium sulphate as a source of sulphur recorded highest nitrogen (3.3%), phosphorus (0.017%), potassium (2.15%) and sulphur (0.41%) in cabbage. Increasing levels of sulphur up to 70 kg ha-1 significantly increased the nitrogen (2.9%), potassium (2.1%) and sulphur (0.41%) in cabbage. However, there is a non-significant effect of levels of sulphur on phosphorus content. Elemental sulphur as a source of sulphur recorded the highest available sulphur (12.7 kg ha-1) followed by gypsum and potassium sulphate. Increasing levels of sulphur upt o 100 kg ha-1, there was a significant increase in theelectrical conductivity (0.142 d Sm-1), organic carbon (0.99%), available nitrogen (318.3 kg ha-1), available phosphorus (24.5 kg ha-1), available potassium (168.6 kg ha-1) and available sulphur (11.5 kg ha-1) status of the soil. Maximum head yield and seed yield were recorded with potassium sulphate as a source and increase in level, increased yield up to 100 kg S ha-1.

The present experiment was conducted to estimate themheterosis and dominance effects in the inheritance of fruitmyield and its contributing traits in cucumber by using ninem parents (6 lines and 3 testers) crossed in Line × Tester design. ANOVA for Line × Tester analysis revealed thepresence of sufficient genetic diversity for different traits  in the experimental material. The mid parent heterosis among different genotypes was obtained in both positive and negative direction for different traits under study. Maximum average heterosis was observed for the yield per hectare followed by the seed vigour index II, number of marketable  fruits per plant, severity of downy mildew, average fruit weight, harvest duration, severity of powdery mildew, node number bearing first female flower, fruit length, incidence of fruit fly, fruit breadth, seed vigour index I, total soluble solids, seed germination, days to marketable maturity anddays to first female flower appearance. Partial to over dominance effects were involved in the inheritance of the studied traits. Hybrids estimated positive or negative potence ratio with >1 value is the indication of prevalence of over dominance in desirable direction and scope for exploitation via heterosis breeding in cucumber. Experimental results revealed that among 18 crosses, five crosses naming LC-1-1 × K-75, LC-1-1 × Poinsette, LC-2-2 × K-75, LC-2-2 × Poinsette and CGN-20515 × Poinsette were found superior on the basis of overall mean performance and heterotic response for most of the traits. These hybrid combinations could be exploited commercially for the development of hybrids/varieties for better yield, quality (TSS), insect-pest & disease resistance and seed traits in cucumber.

Published: July 2024

At the Institute of Agriculture - Karnobat, Bulgaria, laboratory research was conducted on 5 varieties of two-row and 5 varieties of multi-row winter barley. The aim of the research is to determine the genotypic differences in the initial growth of winter barley varieties. The varieties were studied in a laboratory experiment using the roll method. Number of indicators number of roots (number), length of roots (cm), length of the first leaf (cm) were recorded. 20 seeds of each variety were placed on filter paper in 3 replicates. The rolls are immersed in water and after 10 days the length of the first leaf, the number of roots and their length are counted. The results of the analysis show that Zahir and Alexan varieties form the largest number of roots. The Lardeya and Bozhin varieties form the smallest number of roots. The Kuber and Siela varieties have the longest root length and the first leaf. The varieties Zahir and Achinora have the smallest root length, and Lardea and Zemela have the smallest length of the first leaf. To improve the length of the first leaf, good combinations are expected when crossing the varieties Daria, Bozhin with Alexan, Achinora. Siela, Zemela, Alexan and Achinora varieties are genetically the most distant from Lardea, Kuber and Zahir in terms of length and number of roots. It is recommended to use them for crosses in order to create a better root system.

Published: July 2024

Bir topluma mensup olsun olmasın insan hakikat ya da hakikat olmayan arasında kalandır. Böyle olmakla birlikte yine de onları bir anlamda birleştirmeye çalışan öznedir, aradır veya arayandır insan. İnsan hakikat ya da hakikat olmayandan bağlarını hiçbir zaman koparamamış veya onlardan tam manasıyla ayrılabilen olamamıştır. Bu nedenle hakikati aramak her çağda insanların temel gayesi olmuştur. İnsanlık var olduğundan bu yana düşünürlerin hakikati arama mücadelesi, onları hakikatin mümkün olabileceği inancına sürüklemiştir. Çoğu zaman düşünürler ulaştıkları verilerin hakikat olduğuna da inanmışlardır. Günümüzde ise duygusal, siyasal, dinsel vb. kanaatler hakikatin temel kanıtları haline dönmeye başlamış ve yeni bir hakikat varlığı şekillendirilmiştir. Bu maksatla çalışma ilk olarak bu değişim sürecini anlamak ve açıklamak adına bu dönemin şekillenmesine öncülük eden NFT, Metaverse, Virtual Realty, Augmented Realty, Fuzzy Logic, Post-Truth ve Hakikat kavramını irdelemeyi kendine amaç edinmiştir. Ardından çalışma post-truth anlayışının bulunduğu bir çağda gerçek hakikate ulaşılıp ulaşılamayacağını değerlendirmek marifetiyle böyle bir çağda mantıksal düşünmenin önemi ve mantıksal düşünmenin imkânı üzerine tartışmalar gerçekleştirilerek sonlandırılmıştır.

performatividad artística como instrumento de cambio: una visión de la musicalidad en la Buena Nueva
Authors: Ramirez-Hurtado Carmen
Published: July 2024

El mensaje de la salvación requiere una ruptura de los esquemas racionales, convencionales y culturales que implica, además, cambios en las dinámicas sociales. Desde el punto de vista del método, una de las formas de llevar a cabo este cambio es mediante la performatividad de las palabras y la significación de los hechos. La propuesta que aquí se realiza es, en primer lugar, mostrar los puntos en común con la performatividad de las artes, en cuanto actividades a-racionales en lo cognitivo. Pero las ultimas investigaciones sobre la performatividad de las artes inciden en su capacidad para la transformación social, con fines que se hallan explícitos en el mensaje de salvación. Esto se ejemplifica a través del prisma musical aplicado a la estructura de las parábolas y el paisaje sonoro de los milagros. Se muestra que el evangelio es artísticamente performativo y a su vez, las artes performativas que producen un cambio social son ya de por sí evangélicas.

Published: July 2024

We present a method to produce graphene flakes (GFs) from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle wastes by the pyrolysis method using modified bentonite as a catalyst. The as-synthesized GFs are analyzed in terms of crystal phase, morphology, and surface chemistry. The synthesized GFs have a porous, thin, and leaf-like morphology with a length ranging from a few hundred nanometers to a few tens of micrometers. The XRD and FT-IR results confirm the graphitization of PET and the presence of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of synthesized GFs. The obtained GFs are used as adsorbents for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The effects of various factors including, contact time, pH, and initial MB concentration, on the MB removal efficiency are examined. In addition, the adsorption isotherm models of Langmuir and Freundlich are studied. The best-fitting model is observed with the Freundlich isotherm model.

Published: July 2024

Background: Aggressive lipid-lowering methods are required for cardiovascular risk management when heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) is combined with diabetes mellitus. Though statins have been the mainstay of treatment, a viable substitute is the development of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors. Comparative information about their safety and effectiveness in this population is still lacking, though.
Aim: This study aims to systematically compare the outcomes of statins and PCSK9 inhibitors in LDL management for patients with HeFH and diabetes.
Methodology: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Hayabad Medical Complex, encompassing 62 individuals with HeFH and diabetes mellitus. Data on demographic characteristics, treatment regimens, LDL-C reduction efficacy, cardiovascular outcomes, safety profile, and patient adherence were analyzed.
Results: PCSK9 inhibitors demonstrated superior efficacy in reducing LDL-C levels compared to statins, achieving a mean reduction of 70.9% versus 55.8%, respectively. Moreover, individuals receiving PCSK9 inhibitors experienced a significantly lower incidence of cardiovascular events (2 events vs. 6 events) and reported higher levels of patient satisfaction. Both therapies exhibited a favorable safety profile.
Conclusion: Our findings underscore the potential of PCSK9 inhibitors as a preferred therapeutic option over statins in patients with HeFH and diabetes, offering superior LDL-C reduction efficacy, cardiovascular risk reduction, and patient satisfaction. These results highlight the importance of personalized treatment approaches in optimizing cardiovascular risk management.
Keywords: heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, LDL-C reduction, cardiovascular outcomes, patient satisfaction
EVOLUTION OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN INDIAN WRITING THROUGH THE POSTCOLONIAL LENS
Authors:   Department of English, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi., PANDEY ASMITA
Published: July 2024

English as a language has undergone many fundamental and linguistic changes over the ages. From Old English, or Anglo-Saxon that was spoken in England and Scotland in the early Middle ages, to the Middle English, which underwent a lot of changes after the Norman conquest until the late fifteenth century. English saw many changes during the Renaissance all through to the modernist period to finally become what it is today. English, consequently, emerged as a language that is ever-changing in nature, a language that adapts and accommodates all. One such evolution in the language can be seen through the postcolonial experience of the former British colonies. The adoption of English in India, like other colonies, was a result of the Raj. Indian writing in English emerged as an honest enterprise that has turned out to be a new form of Indian culture and voice that has been adopted and adapted by the native people. Indian writers- poets, novelist, essayists and dramatists, have been making great contributions to world literature while gaining immense recognition and fame. It has achieved independent stature in world literature. Subsequently, the use of English became essential for postcolonial writers as it works towards the enlightenment of both the colonizer and the colonized about the ‘Self and the ‘Other’. This paper attempts to highlight the evolution of the English language by navigating through the postcolonial narrative of writers who have not only adopted the language but also have changed it

Published: July 2024

In the domain of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the demand for robust and secure methods for goods tracking and management has become growingly critical. Conventional methods face significant challenges, including authentication, computational overhead, cyber security, and data integrity. To address these issues, this paper proposes a block-chain based system for goods management and tracking with enhanced authentication mechanism by leveraging the decentralized nature of block-chain technology and integrating Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) with Elliptic Curve Cryptography-Zero Knowledge Proof (ECC-ZKP). The proposed solution aims to ensure the authenticity and the integrity for all the transaction while providing high level privacy-preserving verification without revealing information. The research in this paper demonstrates that the proposed block-chain-based system significantly enhances security performance, key management and operational efficiency, addressing the existing challenges in IIoT goods tracking and management, providing a resilient framework for more secure industrial operations in managing goods.

Authors: Tenkorang-Twum David , Atibila Fidelis , Gyapong Philimon
Published: July 2024

Objective:  
This paper aimed to evaluate hazards contributing to patient safety incidents within Ghana’s healthcare system using a human factors engineering model to trace risks across interacting domains.
Methods:
The Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) model framed analysis of challenges within the dimensions of healthcare Personnel, Tasks, Tools/Technology, Environment, Organization and Processes. Over 25 studies provided multi-dimensional empirical evidence, with insights synthesized across domains to depict risk pathways enabling patient harm events.  
Conclusions:  
The analysis reveals a severely overburdened and constrained healthcare ecosystem unable to reliably deliver safe care processes – with risks stemming from financing limitations, infrastructure deficits, equipment failures, health worker shortages and skills gaps, supply variability, leadership prioritization, and information systems. Solutions require coordinated commitment across these interdependent aspects.
Recommendations:  
Six priority actions are proposed spanning governance, culture, staffing, health IT, quality programs and financing – grounded in concrete evidence-based initiatives but connected through systems thinking.
Significance:
This systems analysis substantially advances understanding of patient safety threats in Ghana to motivate action. The model approach further demonstrates application of human factors engineering methods to diagnose healthcare quality challenges in limited-resource settings.

Published: July 2024

El presente artículo pretende dar cuenta de la evolución seguida por la historiografía sobre la cuestión religiosa durante los años de la República en paz, desde finales de la dictadura franquista hasta la actualidad. En él se examinan tanto los cambios en las primacías temáticas y metodológicas como las diversas interpretaciones formuladas desde perspectivas católicas, liberales y marxistas. Por último, se analizan las novedosas aportaciones surgidas del diálogo con las ciencias sociales, así como las agrias polémicas vinculadas con la “guerra de memorias” sobre las etapas del pasado reciente que han enfrentado a la historiografía desde el cambio de siglo.

Background: Despite several revolutionary advances in imaging technology, physicians are still unable to obtain findings that are 100 percent reliable. A number of limitations have been noted for imaging approaches.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance spectroscopy with conventional magnetic resonance imaging for brain tumors.
Study Design: A Comparative study
Place and duration of study. The Department Of Medical Imaging Technology Riphah International University Faislabad Campus From 05-June 2023 To 05-Dec-2023
Methodology This study was carried out at the department of Department of Medical imaging technology Riphah International university Faislabad campus from 05-June 2023 To 05-Dec-2023 following receiving permission from the institute's ethics committee. The study comprised 154 people, both male and female, who had a clinical suspicion of having a brain tumor. Patients between the ages of 20 and 65 who had symptoms and signs suggestive of brain tumors or had nonspecific results from CT and MRI scans were the participants in this study. The technique used was MR spectroscopy.  The collected data were entered into SPSS v23.0, and frequency and percentage were reported for gender, positive MRI and MRS results, and histology, along with a 95% confidence interval.
Results; A total of 154 individuals were studied. The most prevalent age group was 50 years or above 78(50.6%) . Histopathology of 52 (33.7%) negative and 102 (66.2%) patients were tested positive for MR Spectroscopy. The findings of MR Spectroscopy were compared to conventional MRI alone, and with histology maintained as the gold standard, it was discovered that the sensitivity was 90.0% & specificity of 97.0% were at a higher diagnostic level. The results of the MRI accuracy comparison with the conventional histopathological results were 75% sensitivity, 83% specificity The MRS method has 90.0% and sensitivity 97%.
Conclusion
Thus, the study found that all of the diagnostics measures with p-values <0.001, MRS considerably enhances brain tumor characterization when compared to conventional MRI

Due to the rising environmental concerns, industry branches are pushed to research and invest sustainable materials and technologies. In this context, this study aimed to combine a sustainable fiber and matrix material to produce green composite. For this purpose, epoxidized soybean oil and hemp fiber were utilized for composite production. Sebacic acid and maleic anhydride were used as hardeners. Histidine and glycerol were applied as accelerator and starter, respectively. Mechanical performance of the composites was evaluated by tensile and impact tests. Hemp fiber reinforcement resulted in improvement on tensile properties, up to 2.6 MPa tensile strength and 11.7 kJ/m2 impact strength. Thermal properties were determined by TGA and DSC analyses. The changes in molecular level after curing was traced with FTIR measurements and surface morphology was monitored with SEM imaging.
Distinguishing the rehabilitation of Nazism from related crimes: theory and practice
Authors: Bagandova Leila Zakirovna
Published: July 2024

The subject of this study is the criminal law prohibition on the rehabilitation of Nazism, established by the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation. The author emphasizes the importance of considering aspects of the qualification of this act in the presence of a large number of related crimes, which in all their elements are very close to the one under consideration. The article examines in detail such crimes that are classified as extremist, as well as vandalism, slander, destruction or damage to military graves, monuments, obelisks, other memorial structures or objects perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland or its interests, or dedicated to the days of military glory of Russia. The author draws attention to the presence of similar features of the corpus delicti aimed at prohibiting the rehabilitation of Nazism with administrative offenses, in particular, with article 20.3 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. The methodology of the research consists of such methods as formal legal, logical, systematic, as well as the method of analysis. The novelty of this study lies in the complexity and comprehensiveness of the consideration of the stated issues. The author argues that the difficulty of qualification lies in the fact that actions can simultaneously fall under both "extremist" crimes and directly under the corpus delicti, which enshrines the prohibition of rehabilitation of Nazism. The author concludes that the identification of extremism and the prohibition on the rehabilitation of Nazism is incorrect, and Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is special in relation to Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The author's special contribution is manifested in a large number of analyzed sources of judicial practice from different years, on the basis of which the author drew his conclusions and justified the terminology used by the legislator in constructing various provisions of Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Considering the interactions between bubbles in a multi-bubble system in a liquid micro-cavity, a spherical bubble cluster in a liquid cavity is modeled in order to describe the dynamical effect of the viscoelastic medium outside the liquid cavity on the oscillation of bubbles, and the coupled equations of bubbles are obtained. Subsequently, the acoustic response characteristics of bubbles are investigated by analyzing the radial oscillation, the stability of the non-spherical shape of bubbles and the threshold of inertial cavitation. The results show that the confinement of the cavity and the bubble cluster facilitates the suppression of bubble oscillation, however, it might enhance the nonlinear properties of bubbles to a certain extent. From the acoustic response curve at 1 MHz, it is found that the main resonance peaks shift leftward with the increase of the bubble number, which means a minor resonant radius can be obtained. The nonlinear stability of bubbles in a confined environment is mainly determined by acoustic pressure amplitude and frequency, the initial bubble radius, and bubble number density, while the effect of the cavity radius is enhanced with the increase of the driving pressure. There is a minimum unstable driving acoustic pressure threshold, depending on the initial bubble radius, and the unstable regions are mainly located in a range of less than 4 μm. With the increase in bubble number density, the strip-type stable region scattered of the unstable region in the map is gradually transformed into a random patch-like distribution, which indicates that the bubble oscillation under high acoustic pressure is more sensitive to the parameters, and it is very susceptible to interference, produces unstable oscillation and then collapses. When the bubble equilibrium radius is in a range greater than 4 μm, the influences of frequency and bubble number density on the inertial thresholds are particularly significant.
