OBJETIVO: relacionar os conhecimentos científico e empírico e sua importância para a confecção de um laudo pericial. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, explicativo do tipo Revisão Narrativa da Literatura. DISCUSSÃO: O conhecimento empírico é todo saber adquirido da experiência prática, do dia-a-dia utilizado na interpretação de si próprio e do mundo, está diretamente aliado ao saber classista, resistente em modificação de ideias, comportamentos e informações. O conhecimento científico é adquirido na escola, advindo de rigor metodológico e que podem comprovar uma hipótese, cujas características são a sistematização (responsável pela formação da teoria), verificabilidade (comprovação através da ciência), falível (não é definitiva). A ciência não é uma verdade absoluta e sim um processo inacabado e cinético; não sendo o único caminho para se conhecer a verdade, sendo necessário um diálogo entre o conhecimento científico e o empírico, para a elaboração de laudos periciais fidedignos à realidade apresentada. O laudo do perito é a materialização da prova pericial, sendo utilizado no meio judiciário como prova de acordo com o Código Civil, sua finalidade é a apresentação da perícia realizada e sua concretização instrumental, peculiar da função de auxiliar do juiz, fornecendo dados instrutórios, cuja função é formar elementos de prova que auxiliarão o magistrado a proferir uma sentença com adequada fundamentação. CONCLUSÃO: O laudo pericial adequado e com validade jurídica, se dá através da utilização do conhecimento científico haja vista os métodos já serem testados e validados, sendo o método empírico útil na formulação de hipóteses para auxiliar o perito em seu trabalho.

Published: April 2023

Introdução: Os prontos-socorros são estruturados para atender os casos graves de alta e média complexidade. Os hospitais atendem casos críticos, casos ditos de urgência, casos de atenção primária e especializada à saúde e casos de urgência social. Por comprometer o atendimento de urgência e emergência e os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde Brasileiro-SUS, há a necessidade de observação de como os casos não urgentes podem ser inseridos efetivamente no atendimento dos prontos-socorros. Objetivos: Estudar o atendimento de urgência e emergência visando a regulação dos usuários classificados como não urgentes para as unidades de atenção primária à saúde, conhecer o perfil epidemiológico do usuário do serviço, analisar o diagnóstico a partir dos dados levantados e propor melhorias. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada, exploratória, documental, quantitativa e de abordagem cartográfica com 3.068 usuários de um pronto-socorro público municipal classificados como não urgentes, no período de janeiro de 2019 a novembro de 2021. Após a aprovação em Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa, foram coletados dados sobre o sexo, idade, dia e horário de atendimento, município e bairro de moradia e queixa ou situação apresentada, que foram organizados e analisados através da estatística descritiva e do sistema de informações geográficas, sendo o número de atendimentos maior no ano de 2019 do que no período de 2020-2021, durante a pandemia de Covid-19. Resultado: As características gerais da demanda são: homens, 30 a 41 anos, dia útil da semana, horário matutino, município a 14,3km de distância do Serviço, bairros do próprio município entre 2,9km a 4,7km com 60.000 a 100.000 habitantes e queixas traumatológicas. A demanda não regulada é maior e em média após 7,33 dias de queixa ou situação apresentada e oriunda de bairros com baixa cobertura de Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Conclusão: Há falta de estudos sobre o tema e de políticas públicas para minimizar aglomerados, atendimento de usuários classificados como não urgentes no pronto-socorro com vista à integração na atenção primária à saúde e de efetivação da rede de assistência à saúde dos casos críticos. O estudo propõe o pronto-socorro como primeira atenção comportando um núcleo multidisciplinar de profissionais de apoio às urgências e emergências para cooperar com a integralidade do atendimento à saúde entre outras propostas de melhorias.

Introduction: Congenital syphilis is an infectious disease responsible for affecting the lives of thousands of Brazilian women and that, perceptibly, has been growing, even with the reality of underreporting in the country, due to the low quality of health care for such women. Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological profile of congenital syphilis in the state of Pará from 2010 to 2021. Methods: Descriptive and cross-sectional research of notified and confirmed cases of congenital syphilis, through the National System of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN). The variables were analyzed: health region, education, gender, age group, race, the performance of prenatal care, and treatment of the maternal partner. Results: Of the total of 7,595 cases, the highest occurrence was in the year 2019 (n = 945). Concepts up to six days old were the most affected age group (95.78%). Regarding the epidemiological characteristics of the genitor, the predominance was of brown color (82.57%) and who had prenatal care (84.6%). Untreated sexual partners totaled 4,663 (61.4%), approximately four times more than treated partners, 1,365 (18.0%). Conclusion: The study showed a significant increase in cases of the disease in the state of Pará, being the group of brown mothers with low education the most affected and with previously untreated partners. Moreover, it was evident that even with prenatal care the infection developed, confirming the fragile care system offered to pregnant women. Thus, this study contributes to helping the authorities in the creation and improvement of effective measures, since the relevant obstacles were addressed.

Published: April 2023

Steven-Johnson Syndrome commonly occurs as an idiosyncratic reaction to systemic medications such as antibiotics, antiepileptics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It can also be triggered by non-pharmacological causes. It is a pathology with a significant impact on public health due to the high mortality rate. The clinical picture presents nonspecific symptoms, such as fever, odynophagia, and itchy eyes. However, it is characterized by initial erythematous and livid macules, which involve the skin of the pre-sternal trunk and face and may affect the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Diagnosis of the syndrome requires the collection of a complete clinical history, with special attention to drug exposure, thorough physical examination of the skin lesions, determination of the affected skin area, evaluation of mucosal involvement, and complementary tests, such as skin biopsy for histopathological study. Prognosis is related to the rapid identification of the causative drug and its discontinuation, not related to the dose or type of drug. A case of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is reported in a 70-year-old patient with epilepsy and Parkinson's disease, in northern Brazil, emphasizing the clinical characteristics and the adopted treatment.
Wearing Masks in COVID-19 pandemic: Mathematical model and simulation for evaluating the impact of non-pharmaceutical intervention strategy associated with social distancing on pandemic behavior in Minas Gerais/Brazil

Published: April 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused health system collapse and led governments to implement non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as wearing a mask and social distancing. In this study, the SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered) model is proposed for assessing the effects of social distancing and wearing a mask on the prediction of COVID-19 transmission dynamic in Minas Gerais – Brazil. This work presents a theoretical-computational study and the mathematical modeling simulations of COVID-19 transmission dynamics. The model describes eight population groups: susceptible, confined, exposed, asymptomatic, symptomatic, hospitalized, recovered, and dead. The mask-wearing is inferred by the following parameters: mask aerosol reduction (M_red ), mask availability (M_ava), and proper mask-wearing (M_cov). Different scenarios are simulated for evaluating the effect of the parameters on the pandemic evolution. Simulations demonstrate a reduction of around 99% compared to the no-mask-wearing scenario when masks are available for 80% of the population. Professional masks, such as N95 and FFP2 (M_red=97%), reduce by 98,9% of the number of deaths. The proper mask-wearing shows a significant impact on pandemic development, by reducing considerably M_cov it could even overcome the total number of deaths and infections than those in a no-mask-wearing scenario, if the social distancing measures were not intensified. Wearing a mask is extremely efficient and required in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. A combination of social distancing and wearing a mask, if properly performed, allows controlling the pandemic more efficiently, minimizing the total and the daily number of deaths and infections, and avoiding a greater health system overload.
Phytocannabinoids and migraine: An integrative review
Authors: Bechara Gabriela Ilias , Esposito Sandro Blasi
Published: April 2023

The latest years have shown a relationship between the famous endocannabinoid system and pain processing, bringing the possibility of its exogenous form, phytocannabinoids, for treatment of epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and now migraine. This review seeks to evaluate the present literature and analyze the possibility of phytocannabinoids in migraine treatment. Based on the literature of the latest 20 years, the research terms were: "endocannabinoids and migrânea", "phytocannabinoids and migrânea" and "migrânea juvenile and cannabidiol", with 128 results total, of which only 19 have fitted the criteria for analysis. Though is a very pertinent theme, there is no literature enough for clinical analysis of the use of phytocannabinoid in migraine, even when the results in an animal model and reviews have shown a positive effect, it is not possible to speculate the dose, safety, and efficacy in clinical use for now. More randomized human trials are necessary.

Published: April 2023

The present case study reports about Placental mesenchymal dysplasia co-existing with high grade villitis of unknown aetiology (VUE). Placental Mesenchymal Dysplasia (PMD) is a rare placental lesion characterized by unusual abnormality of the stem villi of the placenta that could be mistaken for hydatidiform mole due to the presence of both cysts and normal-appearing parenchyma. A 30-year-old G2 P1 (full-term normal delivery) seen in fetal medicine clinic at 20 weeks within view of high risk on combined screening (low PAPP-A and high HCG). An ultrasound scan showed an appropriately grown baby with an abnormal placenta consisting of multiple lacunae more than 50% of the placental mass with increased thickness. A second opinion at tertiary care hospital confirmed the presence of prominent lakes on the placenta. Growth scans also showed IUGR with increasingly abnormal Doppler scans as the pregnancy progressed. At 35 weeks, EFW was < 3rd centile with static growth and patient had Induction of labour at 35 +4 weeks with vaginal delivery of a live male neonate weighing 2325g admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission due to prematurity. The baby was discharged from NICU at day 5, achieving developmental milestones at the age of 23 weeks post-delivery.  On microscopic histological examination, the chorionic plate showed no significant abnormality. The villous architecture was highly abnormal, and some villi were markedly enlarged with myxoid stroma and central degeneration. There were very occasional foci of apparent trophoblastic proliferation with villous architecture abnormalities seen in the form of clusters of large, immature intermediate villi. These features were in keeping with mesenchymal dysplasia. A highly unusual finding in this context was a florid infiltrate of CD3 positive T cells consistent with high-grade villitis of unknown aetiology concluding very rare co-existence of both conditions.
CASE REPORTS: Carotid cavernous fistula masquerading as orbital inflammation on noninvasive imaging in a peripartum patient

Published: April 2023

A carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is a pathological connection between the internal or external carotid artery and the cavernous sinus venous system. Pregnancy has been proposed as a risk factor for spontaneous CCF, but the exact mechanism of risk is unknown. Overall, there are few published reports describing CCF in pregnancy. Study of this risk factor relationship is further complicated by potential ambiguity in diagnosing CCF, which may present as subtle, nonspecific findings on initial workup. We report a case of CCF during pregnancy in which the diagnostic process was notable for misleading, noninvasive, imaging studies.
Environmental Atrocities in the South China Sea: The Science Behind Conservation Recourse
Authors:   Biological Sciences, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, 23529, USAABSTRACT, Carpenter Kent
Published: April 2023

Extensive damage to reefs and exploitation of threatened species of the South China Sea raise questions regarding national obligations under international treaties. An historic test of these obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) was presented by the Philippine government before the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the International Court of Justice at the Peace Palace in Den Hague in November 2015. High resolution satellite imagery and on-site photographs, videos, and eye witness accounts provide ample evidence of unparalleled direct environmental damage to highly productive and biodiverse coral reefs of the South China Sea. Experts witness testimony indicated that this damage is a result of extensive island building on reef flats and sedimentation from dredging activities. Scientific evidence also indicates that this damage to coral reefs is likely to influence reef productivity throughout the region, including in adjacent Exclusive Economic Zones. Additional evidence of unrestrained exploitation targeting giant clams, corals, and reef fishes was presented that are indicative of irresponsible fishing practices and pose additional threats to endangered species. The decision of the Tribunal of the Permanent Court of Arbitration was handed down in July 2016 that upheld the claims of the Philippines government and has far-reaching policy implications for environmental actions in international waters. An evaluation of the ruling of the tribunal shows that nearly all points presented under UNCLOS were merited, with the possible exception of claims of connectivity of reefs of the South China Seas with adjacent Exclusive Economic Zones. Further research is needed to provide evidence for this claim.
Beyond Bangus and Tilapia: Future Directions of Philippine Aquaculture
Authors:   Santeh Feeds Corporation, Ong Philip
Published: April 2023

Despite incremental growth in basic fish production, Philippine aquaculture continues to lag behind our ASEAN neighbours. After decades of involvement in aquaculture, we now realize that Philippine R & D efforts have benefited those countries that have the political, fiscal structures, and physical infrastructures to scale up, mass produce, and process for export. Our successes have not been in larger scale but in local niches. We see success stories in the production of all male tilapia through sex reversal by hormone and by using supermale or YY-males, sea cage farming of milkfish and pompano, grouper breeding, crab hatchery and development of saline-tolerant strains of tilapia. Looking forward, rather than developing new species and refining existing technology in hatchery and aquaculture feeds, we see research in climate adaptation, disease control, micro-algae production and extraction, developing of single cell proteins as fish meal substitute, electronic monitoring, and data gathering systems as frontiers we can pursue.

The Philippines has long been recognized as a center of marine biodiversity, hence, rich in marine resources. However, fisheries production has been declining in recent years. On the other hand, aquaculture now contributes about half of the total fisheries production. Notably, production from marine pens and cages (mostly milkfish) has increased dramatically in the last two decades. Mariculture areas are designed for production of marine fishes through sea cage culture, farming of seaweeds, mussels and oysters, sea ranching of abalone, aquasilviculture, and others that may be developed through continuing R&D programs. Much discussion has focused on how to achieve sustainability in aquaculture. Concerns are related to the expansion and intensification of aquaculture including its impact on the environment, outbreaks of diseases, sustainability of supply of seed, feed ingredients and feeding practices, and competition for coastal space.

Aim:
Compare lurbinectedin versus other second-line (2L) small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) treatments.
Methods:
An unanchored matching-adjusted indirect comparison connected the platinum-sensitive SCLC cohort of a single-arm lurbinectedin trial to a network of three randomized controlled trials (oral and intravenous [IV] topotecan, and platinum re-challenge) identified by systematic literature review. Network meta-analysis methods estimated relative treatment effects.
Results:
In platinum-sensitive patients, lurbinectedin demonstrated a survival benefit and favorable safety profile versus oral and IV topotecan and platinum re-challenge (overall survival, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.43; 95% credible interval [CrI]: 0.27, 0.67; HR: 0.43; 95% CrI: 0.26, 0.70; HR: 0.42; 95% CrI: 0.30, 0.58 respectively).
Conclusion:
Lurbinectedin showed a robust survival benefit and favorable safety versus other SCLC treatments in 2L platinum-sensitive SCLC.

Published: April 2023

One out of eight women is suffering from the breast cancer. 2.3 million New cases is predicted by 2023 worldwide. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is having 10–15% incidence. As categorized with the lack of estrogen, progesterone and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 neu receptor expression. Though it presents with narrow management opportunities that makes it to be the poor prognostic as well as survival rate. The management of the TNBC includes: neoadjuvant treatment then surgery and the adjuvant treatment or the surgery as the first step and then the adjuvant treatment options accordingly. The discussion are still going on to set a management protocol for the triple negative breast cancers with positive outcome and the good disease free survival. Neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy decreases the estradiol levels and thus improves the survival. The immune check points and immune modulators are under the research and the trials are still going on to treat the TNBC with the improved outcomes. It has been concluded that the management of the TNBC, still wanting the guidelines as tumor-specific targeted therapies is in trials.

Published: April 2023

The demand for ultrahigh-speed, lightweight, low-cost, and defect-tolerant electronic devices drives the industry to switch to terahertz (THz) technologies. The use of two-dimensional (2D) materials has massively increased in THz applications due to their appealing electronic and optoelectronic properties, including tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility, wideband optical absorption, and relatively short carrier lifetime. Several 2D-material-based emitters, modulators, and detectors have been fabricated and examined. In this context, considerable research has been going on for 2D-material-based THz emitting sources, including materials and device structure to understand the electronics and optoelectronics mechanisms occurring in the THz region. This chapter focuses on the 2D-material-based emitters with insights into the background, the physical principle of photoconductive THz emitters, the 2D materials’ properties, and the research trends in the fabrication and characterization of the THz sources based upon 2D materials.
Energy Storage System (ESS) in Residential Applications
Authors: LV Ya
Published: April 2023

This chapter looks into application of ESS in residential market. Balancing the energy supply and demand becomes more challenging due to the instability of supply chain and energy infrastructures. But opportunities always come with challenges. Apart from traditional energy, solar energy can be the second residential energy. But solar energy by nature is intermittent and available under solar irradiance only, so we need a solution to harvest all the solar energy generated in daytime and use it for supplying household load at high demand or backup at power outage, this solution is ESS. Most residential ESS solutions are Lithium-ion battery (LiB) based due to its high energy density and small footprint. But degradation of LiB system is quite sensitive to application conditions like temperature, and the lifespan of most LiB systems is between 10 and 20 years. Looking at future trend, the residential renewable energy solution (RRES) will become more flexible, compatible and reliable. Digitalization, as development trend, will enable end-users remotely monitor and manage different operation modes of RRES. The RRES suppliers will also offer most economic operation plan for end-users given their geography locations and household energy consumption habit.
Perspective Chapter: Subjectification and Objectification of Women in Media
Authors: Maryani Eni , Anggia Ratmita Reksa
Published: April 2023

This chapter will elaborate on the objectification and subjectification of women in the media. The dilemmatic situation between the process of objectification and subjectification of women in television dramas will have implications on women and ultimately on how society sees and positions women. One of the media realities in Indonesia, soap operas, has become a television product that is very popular, especially among women. Currently, soap operas generally occupy prime time which is owned by almost all televisions, therefore the advertising revenue from these shows is very tempting. A popular soap opera can reap advertisements in one episode up to billions of rupiah. Meanwhile, television viewers to date also occupy the largest audience percentage compared to other media. The question is what are the implications on the self-development of women’s audiences and society’s view of women. Based on that, this chapter will discuss an introduction to the subjectification and objectification of women in the media as a phenomenon, both conceptually and theoretically. Various realities of objectification and subjectification that occur in several media and will also be described, the last section will describe a critical study of the existing cases and how changes were made possible and by whom.
Addressing Wrongful Convictions in Croatia through Revision of the Novum Criterion: Identifying Best Practices and Standards
Authors: Bozhinovski Andrej
Published: April 2023

The topic of miscarriages of justice in Croatia is new. It had begun to be the center of academic discussion in 2015 and culminated with the establishment of the experimental Innocence Project in Croatia in 2020. For the first time, experts started to analyze the domestic legal framework and judicial practice concerning the protection of the rights of wrongfully convicted persons, with a special emphasis on carrying out a post-conviction revision of criminal proceedings to prove eventual miscarriages of justice. This chapter examines wrongful convictions as miscarriages of justice through the scope of the novum criterion in different European countries, and the standards of the ECtHR and CJEU. The novum criterion is a legal principle that allows for the reopening of a case if new evidence emerges that could change the outcome of the trial. The purpose is through comparative and case study methods to address the revision of criminal proceedings in Croatia by examining the requirements for establishing a novum in the legislation of different European countries and examine the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and Court of Justice of the E.U. (CJEU) and establish best practices.

Published: April 2023

The human body can be considered a superorganism, containing a large number of microorganisms in symbiosis. An average human body contains about a kilogram of bacterial cells, which is about the same weight as the human brain. Majority of these bacteria resides within the gastrointestinal tract, outnumbering human cells and constituting approximately 99% of the genetic material in the human body. Human gut microbiota has been shown to have diverse effects on the host, and recent studies show that their effects extend to mental health. This review aims to understand the recent developments of the effects of gut microbiota community on mental health and potential manipulations of gut microbiota for prevention and mitigation of mental disorders by highlighting the nutritional value of diet, probiotics, prebiotics, and psychobiotics for mental health, modifying gut microbiota by fecal microbiota transplantation and antibiotics. In addition to these, providing the current knowledge on relevant neuroprotective mechanisms in the brain associated with gut microbiota and main gut microbiota modifying ways such as quorum sensing and bacteriophage was reviewed for future recommendation.
Delays and Dropouts: Identifying Risks of Suboptimal Post-Compulsory Educational Pathways in Sweden
Authors: Rolfe Victoria , Rosén Monica
Published: April 2023

Successful completion of upper secondary education is increasingly vital for participation in the labor market. Rates of school dropout in Sweden are below the EU average but remain a concern for policymakers. This quantitative study used the Swedish register covering 22 birth cohorts to establish the pathways available for students following compulsory school graduation and to identify the socio-demographic risks of taking a suboptimal pathway. The results showed that immigrant students arriving after the beginning of compulsory schooling and students from low-education households had the most elevated risks of engaging with upper secondary school in a suboptimal way, indicating sustained inequalities in the Swedish school system.
Postgraduate researchers’ identities and wellbeing – what is the link and why does it matter?
Authors: Djerasimovic Sanja , Alder Stephanie
Published: April 2023

Doctoral students have higher rates of mental ill health than comparable populations. Contributors include institutional stressors such as competitive fields, uncertain futures and liminal professional identity. This exploratory study drew on social psychology, taking a broad narrative approach, to explore what professional (academic) communities postgraduate researchers (PGRs) identify with, and how these identifications relate to wellbeing. Focus groups were conducted with social science and humanities PGRs in three UK Russell Group universities. PGRs experiences were diverse, but common themes related to ambiguity about their roles as students and researchers; the precariousness of academic careers; commitments to scholarly research; the importance of validation from supervisors and the wider academic community; and the particular challenges when other social roles (e.g. relating to ethnicity or parenthood) align poorly with academic roles. Key conclusions are the importance of validating and supportive research communities that did not necessarily map onto departments or disciplines; meaningful and practically empowering supervisory relationships, which can serve as a buffer against stress and uncertainty; and the relative paucity of ‘postgraduate/doctoral researcher/student’ as a social identity.

The Dialectics of Seeing: Walter Benjamin and the Arcades Project
Authors: Buck-Morss S.
Published: April 2023

As is well known Walter Benjamin devoted his unfinished magnum opus to arcades, the covered shopping galleries that emerged in the mid 19th century, as the central image revealing the economic, socio-political, and cultural features of that era. From Benjamin’s point of view these were the direct material embodiment of self-consciousness, or rather, of an unconscious society fascinated by the capitalist spectacle unfolding before its eyes. Arcades reflect all the errors and shortcomings of bourgeois consciousness — commodity fetishism, reification, taking the world as a “thing in itself”, they reflect its utopian fantasies (fashion, prostitution, and gambling). In addition, they represented the first truly international style of modern architecture that became a commonplace for a whole generation of metropolitan residents the world over. By the end of the 19th century, arcades had become an integral element of any «modern» metropolis, and were imitated from Cleveland to Istanbul, from Glasgow to Johannesburg, from Buenos Aires to Melbourne. And, as Benjamin well knew, they could be found in each of the cities that had become vectors of his intellectual compass: Naples, Moscow, Paris and Berlin, setting points of intersection between vectors leading from west to east and from south to north. If the first vector indicates the movement of historical progress in terms of the realization of social and technological potential, the second evaluates history retrospectively, seeing in it mainly the ruins of an unrealized past.
Positions
Authors: Garrard G.
Published: April 2023

The paper considers the position of “inexhaustibility” as shared by many economists and businessmen. This view assumes that, in the long term, shortages in natural resources will be compensated by economic growth and the development of technology. The “shallow” environmentalism that is set against this position is concerned with the problems of global warming and pollution and defends the conservation of natural resources solely for utilitarian purposes. It also implies no severe reduction in standards of living and does not welcome radical social change. Of the four radical forms of environmentalism, the most influential outside of academic circles is deep ecology where the well-being and prosperity of human and non-human life on Earth has an independent value and can be achieved once the population is significantly reduced. The second trend, ecofeminism, blames the destruction of the environment on androcentric dualism. Man is associated with culture as immaterial, rational and abstract; woman is associated with nature as material, emotional, and individual. The third movement, social ecology and ecomarxism, share the key principles of the supporters of inexhaustibility, but radically disagree with their politics. They believe that changing the political structure of society will result in creating new forms of production that do not exist merely for the accumulation of wealth. The fourth direction is based on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger with its criticism of industrial modernity. This view combines poetic reverence for the existence of the Earth with a complete deconstruction of the program of world domination that has as its end the denial of death, a program which we are accustomed to calling “progress”.
A Critical Appreciation of Selected Fictions of Manju Kapur
Authors: Milind Solanki
Published: April 2023

Manju Kapur is a well-known female author in Indian literature. She is often recognised as the brightest star in the Indian English-language literature scene. Matrimony is the cornerstone of a family, which comprises of a couple and their offspring. Social institutions such as marriage have been around for a long time and have proven to be the most strong in linking people together in various ways, such as husband and wife, mother and daughter, sister and brother, and so on. Weddings have been used to unite kingdoms in the past. When a woman is considered to be at home, it shows how closely tied domestic life is to one's identity as a "woman." The topic of marriage and the consequences of marital discord are brilliantly represented in the works under discussion. A Married Woman, Difficult Daughters, and Custody are just a few of Kapur's works that explore the complexities and ramifications of marital strife. I'm writing this paper to attract attention to the theme of marital discord and its effects in Manju Kapur's A Married Woman, Difficult Daughters, and Child Custody.
An Impact Study of Talk Series as an Effective Tool to Learn Language for the Second Language Learners
Authors: Dr Chirag Adatiya
Published: April 2023

Education in India has always been a difficult undertaking (Pandit, 2020). Given theenormous range of economic conditions and demographic profiles of learners in India,bringing education to every part of the country has been difficult. The history of Indianeducation reveals that the majority of learning took place through Chalk and Talk and thatstudents have become accustomed to this method of instruction. However, with theproliferation of the internet and the increasing familiarity of students with social media, thissituation is undergoing a shift. The use of blended learning techniques has already beenimplemented into the teaching pedagogy of a number of educational institutions. In an agewhere knowledge can be found almost everywhere, the difficulty for instructors is no longerthe creation of learning content but rather the ability to present it engagingly to students sothat learning objectives are accomplished, and the speed of learning is maintained.
Visiting Indian English Novels with Special Reference to Ecological Elements
Authors: Dr Bhavdip Chavda
Published: April 2023

The spectre of global warming has jolted humanity to the extent never seen before. On the one hand, unchecked urbanisation and industrialization coupled with emissions from automobiles, air-conditioners, and other sources. On the other hand, needless deforestation and natural resource exploitation have brought us an alarming reality. It is only fitting that those involved in the literary world take arms and try to raise awareness among readers, particularly among the younger generation, of the critical need to act quickly to address the problem. The literary works of prominent Indian authors have been produced that highlight the authors' interest in this respect. In this paper, I investigate the field of Indian English Fiction and critically study works by eminent authors such as Amitav Ghosh, Kiran Desai, Arundhati Roy and some not-so-eminent authors. I conclude that these authors share a common concern, even though their works deal with life in different areas affected by different kinds of problems in different environments.
A Study of Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide with Special Reference to English Language and its Receptivity
Authors: Dr. Komal Raichura
Published: April 2023

Over the course of the last century, the phrase "global language" has been applied to English because millions speak it of individuals whose native language is not English. There are also many writers whose first language is not English but who come from all over the world to add to the canon of English literature. These authors who are not native English speakers have been able to comprehend their own cultures via the medium of English while at the same time bringing about a significant shift in the English language. A significant majority of the time, these changed variants are recognised as unique English language varieties. This article examines the notion of translingual authors as well as their use of the English language and uses the novel "The Hungry Tide" written by the Indian author Amitav Ghosh, who is a translingual writer, as an example. Ghosh is a writer who writes in more than one language. In addition to the works of other academics, the book is analysed with the only intention of concentrating on the evolution of the English language that can be found in it. This is the only goal for which the analysis was carried out. This investigation aims to locate information that will provide responses to two inquiries. The following are the questions that need to have their answers provided: 1. How can authors who write in more than one language demonstrate the evolution of the English language? 2. What are some of how Amitav Ghosh alters the English language in The Hungry Tide, and why does he do this?
Use of AEE Technology for Feedback Generating on Written Text: A Revolution in Academic Writing Domain
Authors: Dr. Mohit Goswami
Published: April 2023

AEE, a computer-generated grading system that delivers written comments on the quality of written texts, is the topic of this book. It is already possible to find both commercial and non-commercial AEE applications that feature a scoring engine that provides automatic scores based on techniques like artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and latent semantic analysis. AEE scoring engines are taught using human ratings, and AEE is being used for summative assessments in tests such as the TOEFL and the Graduate Management Admissions Test, in combination with human ratings. In addition to spoken feedback, many AEE programmes also incorporate written feedback in the form of comments and corrections. Using written AEE feedback to give formative input in writing courses has grown in popularity in recent years, especially in American schools at the secondary and postsecondary levels. The book is a follow-up to Automated Essay Scoring: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach, which was published in 2003 and is the subject of this volume.
The First Language vs. the Foreign Language: A Study
Authors: Dr. Shabir Parmar
Published: April 2023

Putting pen to paper when you don't speak the language is a challenge. When writing in a foreign language, Esther Odilia Breuer employs a boxing analogy to depict the challenging task of balancing cognitive processes and avoiding the "punches" of the first language (L1) to the foreign language (L2), which requires the writer's training, flexibility, and endurance (FL). The fight between the L1 and FL for supremacy is a major topic of Breuer's PhD dissertation, which Peter Lag has recently published as a book in the Text production and Medium series (Eds. Eva-Maria Jakobs and Dagmar Knorr). "when, how, and in which areas the battle between the L1 and the FL takes place, which methods [writers] use in order to shield themselves from the 'attacks' of the L1, and when they fail and have to take a strike" (First language against foreign language) (Chapter 1, p. 4). Writing in FL has been shown to have three distinct problems: (1) fluidity, (2) mistakes, and (3) revision, all of which Breuer examines in great length in comparison to writing in L1. Breuer also looks at the connections between these characteristics.
Tagore as Text: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Vrutti Dave
Published: April 2023

Rabindranath Tagore, who lived from 1861 to 1941, is well remembered around the globe for becoming the first poet from Asia to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. He was a British subject throughout his life and passed away in colonial India. However, any engagement with studies of Tagore would reveal that, despite his outstanding achievements in creative writing and music, he deserves to be remembered as the only poet of international standing who not only founded a self-funded university but also designed a curriculum that radicalised traditional institutionalised education in colonial India. This is something that should be remembered because Tagore deserves to be remembered as the only poet of international standing who deserves to be remembered. The purpose of this article is to investigate Tagore's re-imagining of the process of institutionalised instruction as well as the goals of education. Undoubtedly, the ideas and models of the teaching-learning process that Tagore outlined bear the stamp of a poet-philosopher who tried to distance himself from the public educational sector. In colonial times, the public educational sector was exemplified by the formidable University of Calcutta, which was under the administration of the British. Tagore's Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan is obviously a private sector operation; nonetheless, it is historically considered as a one-of-a-kind experiment in inclusive education that debunks rote learning and fragmented knowledge. Its viability in the 21st century, however, is up for question.
