Tragedizing the Villain: Shakespearean Perspective on Iago as a Tragic Character
Authors: Khan Shafaat Yar , Khan Nabiya
Published: January 2025

Through a critical analysis of Shakespeare’s Othello, this study reveals how certain dramatic techniques contribute to the creation of tragic characters, particularly in the case of Iago as a villain. An examination of these techniques shows how Shakespeare blurred the distinction between hero and villain, not only in characters such as Macbeth and Richard III, but also in Iago. The critical analysis demonstrates how Shakespeare affected a moral ambiguity in creating Iago and crafted him as a tragic villain, calling for a sympathetic understanding of his motives and evoking sympathy. Based on the findings, this research supports the use of the term “tragic” for a criminal character like Iago. The study allows for the discussion of the complex relevance of justice to tragedy and tragic characters, as well as its implications for contemporary culture and pedagogy, in which popular culture figures, such as the Joker of Marvel Comics, are discussed as tragic only because they are given sad backstories.
Alignment of Punjab Textbook Board’s English Textbooks with the National Curriculum for English (2006): An Evaluative Study
Authors: Malik Shahbaz
Published: January 2025

In Pakistan, English language textbooks are considered as the most authentic and useful material for English language teaching. They are expected to fulfil the objectives stated in the National Curriculum for English, 2006. The Federal Government has complete control over designing and selecting the content of the textbooks. Pakistani society is challenged by religious, cultural, and ethnic diversity. In view of this diversity, a curriculum is expected to promote national identity and unity among various groups. Therefore, the national agenda is disseminated and promoted through textbooks to build a cohesive society.  Pakistan is a developing country, where traditional methods and techniques are used to teach language. Hence, it becomes necessary to minutely evaluate the teaching material. For this purpose, textbooks taught in the Intermediate level English classes are evaluated in this research, keeping in view the objectives stated in the National Curriculum. Data has been taken from the four textbooks taught at the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) level in Punjab, Pakistan. Data is evaluated by using the qualitative approach as summation and calculations are involved in the analysis. The analysis of the exercises and the content shows various types of deviations from the objectives of the Curriculum. The study finds that most textbook exercises are partially aligned with the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) of benchmarks, standards, and competencies mentioned in the National Curriculum. The study also suggests the ways to synchronize the selected textbooks with the policy document which would ultimately improve the overall English language skills of the students.
Ambivalent Temporalities of Nation-Space: A Study of Mohsin Hamid’s Moth Smoke and Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things
Authors: Qasmi Noor Ul Qamar
Published: January 2025

Following Bhabha’s theorization on the ambivalent temporalities of nation-space, this research seeks to analyze how the mutual tension between the pedagogical and the performative temporalities of nationalist representation plays out in Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things (1997) and Mohsin Hamid’s Moth Smoke (2000). This article explores how the nation-space narrated by Roy and Hamid is marked by a tussle between the pedagogical and the performative on the lines Bhabha describes it in his seminal essay, ‘DissemiNation: Time, narrative and the margins of the modern nation’. The novels display how the narration of the nation engages in a ‘double movement’ through a harking back to the past while simultaneously being progressive and forward-looking. These double movements cause ambivalent temporalities and produce a disruptive anterior where a deterministic past/history comes head-to-head with the daily performance of the people. The invasive presence of the past quashes the emancipatory maneuvers of the characters who try to chart a performative of their own in contravention of the traditions. In both the novels, the pedagogical pitted against the performance enforces its impersonal and transhistorical outreach by trying to quash what it sees as the unauthorized performance of the people. The nation-space, therefore, remains ambivalent and split between the myths of the past and the realities of the present.
Baloch Cultural Tradition in Selected Folktales: A Comparative Analysis of Native and Non-Native Transcreators
Authors: Rafique Durdana , Aziz Akhtar
Published: January 2025

Folktales, as stories in the oral tradition, have remained an essential genre in the folklore of all great civilizations of the past. Balochi folktales are the foundation of their culture, history, and practices. This paper aims to analyze how native and non-native transcreators have depicted Baloch cultural tradition in the selected folktales transcreated in English. For this study five books of Balochi folklore with translations in English were chosen. The study draws upon McNeill's (2013) cultural tradition theory, serving as a macro-level framework for the analysis of selected folktales. Additionally, Dell Hymes' sociolinguistics method of S.P.E.A.K.I.N.G (Hymes, 1972, 1974, 1989, 1996, 2003, 2004) has been employed to acquire micro-level tools for the analysis of the transcreated Balochi folktales. The primary objective of this study is to explore how significant cultural norms within the Baloch community, have been portrayed in English translations of Balochi folktales. It encompasses an analysis of key tribal codes among the Baloch, including Bahoot, Haal, Misthaagi, Meid, the status of women, vows, bier, Shigaan, Lajjo Mayar, Mehr, and war ethics, as identified by Dashti (2019). The analysis has shown that Baloch cultural traditions within the selected Balochi folktales underscore distinctions between native and non-native transcreators. Both natives and non-natives have depicted these traditions, but native transcreators offer a more nuanced and culturally authentic representation. Moreover, using Dell Hymes' sociolinguistics method of S.P.E.A.K.I.N.G in the collections of tales has reinforced the argument that the collectors had different motivations while collecting and translating these tales, presenting a specific image of Baloch to their intended audience.

Authors: Narayanan Arsha , Kumar Sanjay , Kataria Sant Prakash , . Ankush , Jangra Rashmi , Singh Sunita
Published: January 2025

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor involving the kidney. Approximately 20-50% of RCC patients with localised tumor progress to metastases. However, testicular metastases from renal cell carcinoma are an extremely rare entity. To the best our knowledge, there have been less than 50 reported cases of RCC metastasis to the testis. Here we report a case of testicular metastasis from renal cell carcinoma in a 70-year-old man 2 years post- nephrectomy and review some of the previously reported cases. Histopathological examination after surgical removal of this testicular mass confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic RCC. This report highlights the unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with such an entity.

Authors: Nikolaeva Silva
Published: January 2025

The paper presents the current results of a long-term research project focused on mapping educational ecosystems in Bulgaria. Based on a conceptual analysis of ecosystemic paradigm in formal and non-formal education the paper presents a classification of identified types of educational models and practices with ecosystemic features. The qualitative research is based on case studies of the 6 administrative regions of the country with the aim to map the typical educational ecosystems. The data show that their features and dynamics reflect the reached balance between proactive local culture(s), context and leadership, on one side, and the supportive external priorities and policies at regional, national and international level, on the other. This explains why some ecosystems are internally focused and resilient while others’ sustainability is seriously affected by the external context and dynamics.
The Israeli Law in Judea and Samaria: Areas B and C
Authors: Biton (Boukra) Gal Simcha
Published: January 2025

In September 1995 the State of Israel signed the Oslo II Accords with the Palestine Liberation Organization, in which Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip were divided into three areas: A, B, and C. Each of these areas has different administrative and security arrangements. These areas are typically separated, to a large extent, according to the degree of responsibility given to the Palestinian Authority, which was established by this agreement for the territories in question. Even today, after more than half a century in which the Israeli Supreme Court hears Judea and Samaria cases, it has not yet found a strong normative source on which to base its authority and continues to indicate the two shaky sources of authority that did not satisfy it back in the 1970s: the consent of the parties and the definition of military rule as ostensibly acting according to Israeli law. The Supreme Court is aware of the cloud hanging over its authority to hear Yesha cases, but in its view, “the humanitarian consideration must prevail in this case over the legal-technical consideration,” and therefore it hears those cases.

Measurements of vaporization coefficients of calcium alumino-silicate compositions
Authors: Kowalski Benjamin , Jacobson Nathan , Mendybaev Ruslan
Published: January 2025

In this study we report vaporization coefficients for silica, alumina, and molten anorthite and gehlenite obtained by continuous weight loss measurements in a thermogravimetric system with a tungsten mesh vacuum furnace. Free surface vaporization rates are measured using 2.5 mm droplets on Ir-wire loops. Vaporization rates were converted to partial pressures with the Hertz-Knudsen-Langmuir equation. Where possible, equilibrium pressure are determined using iridium Knudsen cells in addition to model calculations. Silica and alumina exhibit no change in vaporization coefficient on melting with αSiO2 = 0.024 ± 0.001 (all uncertainties are 1s) and αAl2O3 = 0.57 ± 0.07. The anorthite and gehlenite composition melts exhibit vaporization coefficients (αAN = 0.033 ± 0.003 and αGEH = 0.131 ± 0.014) close to those of pure silica suggesting only a weak, if any, dependence of vaporization coefficients of silicates studied on the melt structure. The Knudsen cell equilibrium pressures are preferred over model calculations. Implications of experimental data to volatilization and formation of Ca-Al-rich inclusions in meteorites are considered.

Phys. Chem. C 113, 7598 (2009)]. The frequently used words by the author “a simple model presented” or “In view of model proposed” are misleading to the readers and infringe on the rights of others.
GLP-1 receptor agonism in cardiovascular disease prevention
Authors: Saleh Hussain
Published: January 2025

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are leading cause of mortality worldwide, closely linked to risk factors such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. Recent advances in therapeutic strategies have identified glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) as promising agents that extend beyond glycemic control to offer significant cardiovascular benefits. This review examines the evolving role of GLP-1RAs in CVD prevention, focusing on their mechanisms of action and clinical implications. GLP-1RAs act by mimicking endogenous GLP-1 to enhance insulin secretion, reduce glucagon levels, and regulate blood glucose. Their impact extends to improving vascular health, reducing atherosclerotic progression, mitigating inflammation, and countering diabetic hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. GLP-1RAs also contribute to weight reduction, a key factor in alleviating CVD risk. Results from clinical trials and real-world evidences consistently support that GLP-1RA treatment lowers the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including myocardial infarction and stroke, in diverse patient populations. Despite their clinical potential, barriers such as limited awareness among healthcare professionals and unequal access hinder broader adoption of GLP-1RAs into clinics. Ongoing studies continue to explore the integration of GLP-1RAs with other therapeutic approaches, such as sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and lipid-lowering agents, to optimize cardiovascular outcomes. This review underscores the importance of leveraging GLP-1RAs as a multifaceted tool in reducing the global burden of CVD while addressing challenges to ensure equitable access and long-term benefits.

Renewable energy sources are a crucial element of the overall sustainable global economic development system due to climate change, depletion of fossil fuel sources, and the need to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Additionally, in modern geopolitical challenges, escalating economic pressures, and regional disparities in renewable energy development further complicate the global transition to sustainable energy. This article aims to define the role of renewable energy sources in ensuring sustainable economic development and analyze the influence of key factors on their implementation in sustainable development. We analyzed literature sources, and statistical data, followed by comparative analysis, systematization, and generalization, to identify the key factors influencing the implementation of renewable energy sources. The expert assessment method revealed the impact of internal and external factors on the development of the energy sector. These factors include Politics (P), Economy (E), Social sphere (S), Technology (T), Ecology (E) and Law (L) pillars that influence the implementation of renewable energy sources in ensuring sustainable economic development. The findings suggest that political instability (P1 - -2.7) and the destruction of energy infrastructure (P2 - -3.0), as well as economic factors (Total E - 5.05 / -8.33), are currently the main negative factors affecting the renewable energy sector in Ukraine. Additionally, social (Total S - 4.63 / -8.67) and environmental aspects (Total E - 3.9 / -8.125) still lack adequate management by the government and public perception, negatively impacting the further development of renewable energy sources. At the same time, technological innovations (Total T - 9.1 / -9.1) and the legal environment (Total L - 9.16 / -9.16) show potential for further sectoral development. The implementation of alternative energy sources and the overall support of the energy sector mainly depend on balanced policies in the electricity sector, the sector's investment attractiveness, social support, and the availability of technological innovations.

In the face of escalating environmental challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss, higher education institutions (HEIs) play a critical role in fostering environmental consciousness among future professionals. The research aims to analyze current pedagogical strategies, examine innovative development and digitalization factors, and explore how higher education can promote sustainable environmental consciousness among graduates. A combination of complementary methods, including analysis, synthesis and abstraction were used. The essential structural elements of the system of ecological consciousness, as well as the criteria and indicators of its formation, are also defined. Results revealed that the main prerequisites for low environmental awareness among students of higher education institutions in Ukraine are the insufficient development of civil society institutions, lack of motivation to comply with environmental legislation, and an inadequate level of public awareness of sustainable development and environmental stewardship priorities. Environmental education in higher education is often delivered in a traditionally minimalist format, with a narrow sectorial focus that fails to adequately foster environmental awareness development among future professionals. An innovative vision of the pedagogical strategy for forming environmental awareness of students of higher education institutions through fundamental life values, attitudes towards the intrinsic value of nature, and society's responsibility for their conservation and sustainable development is proposed.

The increasing global demand for energy represents one of the critical challenges faced by humanity today. Energy production is essential for social development and fulfilling human needs. However, energy production and consumption often result in significant environmental degradation and adverse effects on human health. Most energy companies use coal, oil and natural gas, which causes significant emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, pollution of water sources and other negative consequences. This article aims to explore the potential and environmental impacts of renewable energy sources. We conducted an in-depth study of thematic research and scientific literature on the development of renewable energy over the past five years. This research focused on issues of global renewable energy and ecology. The study found that energy production, while essential for social development, often leads to significant environmental degradation and adverse health effects. Traditional energy sources like coal, oil, and natural gas contribute to harmful emissions and water pollution. Technological advancements have facilitated more environmentally sustainable energy sources, such as wind, solar, hydroelectric power, and biofuels. The article concentrates on exploring the potential of renewable energy in the context of its impact on the environment. The findings highlight the importance of phased adoption strategies for renewable projects, tailored to financial capabilities, as demonstrated in Ukraine. This approach contrasts with large-scale investments and offers a model for countries with similar GDP values. Further research is recommended to compare the environmental effects of different renewable energy sources and develop financial support schemes for minor projects. Strengthening the link between financial incentives and investments in renewable energy is crucial for creating optimal conditions for sustainable development.

The depth of the ecological crisis raises the issue of implementing innovative solutions and technologies in waste management that align with the principles of the circular economy. This research explores the advantages of using artificial intelligence (AI) in waste management systems in Ukraine. The study employs methods of systems analysis, formalization, abstract and logical analysis, in addition to the linear trend method. A comparative analysis of waste management in Ukraine and EU countries was conducted. It was found that the waste generation level in Ukraine is 11.1 tons per person per year, compared to 4.8 tons in the EU. Only 8.24% of waste in Ukraine is sent for recycling, while this figure reaches 49.6% in the EU. The analysis revealed that insufficient infrastructure, poor-quality legislation, and the destruction caused by the war significantly affect waste management practices in Ukraine. An exhaustive review of current startups and technological solutions in waste management utilizing AI was conducted. The findings show that the implementation of AI in waste management can increase recycling rates by 20-30% and reduce operational costs by 10-15%. It is projected that by 2033, the global AI market for waste management will reach USD 18.2 billion, demonstrating an annual growth rate of 27.5%. The study concludes that applying AI in waste management in Ukraine could significantly reduce waste incineration and increase recycling rates to 70% by 2030, aligning with the goals of the National Waste Management Strategy.

Building an Automated Guided Vehicle Based on UWB Technology
Authors: Haryono
Published: January 2025

The development of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for indoor environments necessitates precise positioning technology to enable accurate navigation within confined spaces. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology has proven to be a leading solution for this purpose, known for its high accuracy, low latency, and resilience to interference. This study presents a specialized approach to AGV localization within a room, utilizing UWB technology to achieve reliable movement and positioning.
 
We conducted a comparative analysis of two UWB modules, DWM1000 and DWM1001, evaluating their performance and suitability for AGV applications. Although both modules provide high accuracy, the DWM1001 was chosen due to its integrated microcontroller, simplified setup, and enhanced compatibility with indoor navigation. The DWM1001’s efficient integration and power management make it ideal for environments requiring precise and dependable AGV operation.
 
This paper details the methodology for selecting the DWM1001 and demonstrates how it enables robust AGV navigation with minimal drift, achieving a positioning accuracy of approximately 10 cm—an acceptable margin for indoor applications. Through rigorous testing and evaluation, we observed consistent performance, validating the DWM1001 as an effective solution for small-scale AGV systems. This approach not only provides a reliable foundation for deploying UWB technology in compact indoor settings but also addresses a gap in current research on high-precision, small-scale AGV localization.

Published: January 2025

The current condition of Indonesia's National Computer Security Incident Response Team (Nat CSIRT) requires a knowledge management system model to support incident handling, especially in the post-incident stage to accelerate incident handling, especially in repeated incidents. To address these issues, a systematic literature review (SLR) will be conducted to propose a knowledge management model (KMM) for supporting post-incident activities. This research used SLR-PRISMA methodology that consists of 3 steps which are Identification, Screening, and Included. The 22 articles acquired from the SLR-PRISMA process from five databases. Those 22 articles used 12 KMMs and 10 indicators that are used more than once. The 10 indicators were mapped with post incident activities and their best practices based on their correlation event. Eventually 9 best practices and 5 indicators obtained to develop a proposed KMM for NAT-CSIRT to support the post incident activities. The 5 indicators which are knowledge sharing, technology, culture, information, and organizational performance can be used to propose a KM Model for the post incident activities in NAT-CSIRT.

Published: January 2025

Urban flooding poses significant challenges to Mandalay, exacerbated by rapid urbanization and inadequate drainage infrastructure. This study assesses urban flood problems in three basins such as Shwe Kyin, Thin Ga Zar, and Pa Yan Taw using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) under return periods of 10, 30, and 50 years. The required parameters, including rainfall patterns, land use, hydrologic soil group and drainage network characteristics, were used to simulate runoff and flood dynamics. After simulation, the maximum flood depths were evaluated for the three basins at specific time intervals. The results indicated that the maximum flood depth was observed as 0.1 m for Shwe Kyin Basin, 0.5 m for Thin Ga Zar Basin, and 0.6 m for Pa Yan Taw Basin, respectively. These findings emphasized a valuable reference for urban planning and disaster management strategies.
