The Journey of Women Reservation Bill as 108th Amendment Bill In Rajya Sabha
Authors: - Jaspreet Kaur
Published: August 2024

The Women Reservation Bill seeks to reserve one third of the total number of seats in Lok Sabha, state legislative assemblies and Delhi legislative assembly for women. It means that the Bill will increase women representation by bringing at least one third women in the legislatures. Women Reservation Bill will not only be helpful in increasing the number of women representatives in the decision making but it will also help to improve their lower status and position in the society. Therefore, the Bill was introduced many times since 1996. But never got the approval of the lower house. In 2008 it was introduced in Rajya Sabha, a permanent house. Though passed by Rajya Sabha in 2010, it never got the approval of lower house till 2023. Main reason for not supporting it seems that all political parties had their own political interests that is why they took so long to make it a legislation by amending the Constitution. It got the approval of both the houses of Parliament in September 2023. In this paper an attempt is made to discuss the behavior of political parties supporting and opposing the Bill at the time it was introduced in Rajya Sabha in 2008.

Published: August 2024

A drone-based magnetic survey was conducted with a magnetic sensor for
the first time in India over a mechanised diamond mine. The paper
briefly describes the findings of the drone-based Magnetic surveys
over the Majhgawan Diamond Mine in Panna District, Madhya Pradesh,
India. The data was interpreted using the Geometrics interpretation
software. The experiment showed a promising result in deciphering the
lamproite pipe depicted by a magnetic high intruded into the Baghain
sandstone of the Kaimur Group. From the total magnetic anomaly map, it
can be observed that a high magnetic anomaly of about 27 nT in the
central part of the pipe which forms a part of the near-circular
anomalous zone, is associated with the diamond-bearing pipe and
demarcates its boundary.

The Power of Play: Gamified Advertising with AR/VR/AI and its Impact on Consumer Engagement
Authors: - Abhishek Srivastava
Published: August 2024

The advertising landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional advertising methods struggle to capture and retain consumer attention in a world saturated with information. This paper explores the potential of gamified advertising with Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create immersive and playful experiences that drive deeper brand engagement.
By leveraging the psychology of play and personalization, gamified advertising can transform passive viewers into active participants. AR/VR technologies bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds, while AI tailors the gamified experience for each individual. This paper examines the benefits of gamified advertising with AR/VR/AI for brands, including increased user engagement, positive brand associations, enhanced purchase decisions, and boosted sales. Real-world case studies are presented, along with tangible results and analysis to illustrate the effectiveness of these campaigns. Finally, the paper explores limitations and future considerations, such as ethical concerns regarding data privacy and the need for cost-effective AR/VR development.
In conclusion, gamified advertising with AR/VR/AI presents a paradigm shift in how brands connect with consumers. By fostering a sense of play and personalization, brands can create memorable and engaging experiences that build brand loyalty and drive business growth. As these technologies evolve and ethical considerations are addressed, gamified advertising has the potential to redefine the future of brand storytelling and consumer interaction

Authors: - Nelson Nainggolan , - Hanny Andrea Huibert Komalig , - Tohap Manurung , - Dingse Pandiangan
Published: August 2024

Time series data modeling is generally performed using the assumption of homoscedasticity or residual variance that is constant over time. However, the homoscedasticity assumption cannot answer the problem of volatility in economic and business time series data, because generally data on economics and business have residual variances that always change over time. Therefore, a model developed with the assumption of not constant variance is known as heteroskedasticity model. Multivariate GARCH model is a development of the univariate GARCH model. The multivariate GARCH model can be viewed as a conditional heteroskedasticity model in a multivariate time series. This paper discusses the parameterization of covariance matrices such as Vech model representation, BEEK model and Constant Correlation model. For parameter estimation the maximum likelihood method is used. Furthermore, multivariate GARCH model application is applied for multivariate model. In this research, the data used are data on the prices of fresh fish in Manado. The fish price data is the price of Tuna, Skipjack (Cakalang), Cobe (Tongkol), Kite (Malalugis) and Selar fish (Tude). The ARCH effect test results show that the data meet the assumption of non-constant variance (heteroscedasticity). GARCH mutivariate modeling in the form of a VEC diagonal model gives the results of the price volatility of fresh fish in Manado
Navigating Gender Disparities on the Management of Chronic Disease: a Narrative Review
Authors: - V Nikhila Priya , - Sarva Priya Pandey
Published: August 2024

Chronic diseases globally expose significant gender disparities in management and outcomes. Women often experience delays and inadequate treatment due to biological, psychosocial, and systemic biases, compounded by societal norms hindering self-care and health-seeking behaviours. Similarly, the LGBTQIA+ community faces discrimination and lacks culturally competent healthcare. This review addresses these issues collectively, aiming to uncover root causes and propose strategies for equitable healthcare outcomes. A literature review (2016-2024) using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Wiley Online identified peer-reviewed studies on gender, health determinants, and chronic diseases, focusing on socioeconomic, biological, and psychological factors. Socio-ecological models and culturally sensitive healthcare strategies are crucial for enhancing treatment adherence and reducing gender bias. Community-level interventions and policy changes are essential for equitable healthcare access. Integrating gender-inclusive practices into medical education is pivotal to achieving global health goals by 2030.

Published: August 2024

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are prevalent among nurses and can impact job performance and quality of care. This study explores the factors influencing the adoption of ergonomic guidelines by nurses in their daily practice.

Methods:A mixed-methods approach was used, including a quantitative survey of 127 nurses and qualitative interviews with 20 participants. The survey assessed adherence to ergonomic guidelines, perceived effectiveness, and barriers and facilitators to adoption. Interviews provided in-depth insights into personal experiences and challenges.

Findings: Quantitative data showed moderate adherence to ergonomic guidelines, with barriers including lack of training (50%), insufficient resources (45%), and time constraints (60%). Facilitators included strong organizational support (40%) and ongoing education (35%). Qualitative findings revealed that while ergonomic guidelines positively impacted comfort and reduced physical strain, inconsistent application and resource limitations hindered effective implementation.

Conclusion: Effective adoption of ergonomic guidelines requires enhanced training, increased resource allocation, and strong organizational support. Addressing these factors can improve nurse well-being and patient care outcomes.

Waste material is a very serious problem in the world of building construction. Efforts to reduce the use of new materials and reuse leftover materials can have a positive impact on the environment. Moreover, many building materials cannot be renewed so they are only used once. Apart from that, producing new materials requires the use of quite a lot of energy. There are many new materials, but this does not rule out the possibility that wood-based materials are still widely used. Wood is a type of building material that has a natural grooved character and is able to withstand noise and weather. The aim of this research is to determine the difference in soundproofing between wood and plywood materials in semi-permanent buildings. The method used was an experimental trial using the CoolExp software cellphone application to measure the decibel sound from each experiment. This research data was obtained through several experiments from several types of sounds, namely, knocking sounds, the sound of pebbles being dropped, the sound of music, the sound of people talking, the sound of vehicles. The results of the research show that: (1) the sound of knocking on wooden material is more soundproof (2) the sound of pebbles being dropped on wooden material is more soundproof (3) the sound of music on wooden material is more soundproof (4) the sound of people talking on tripek material is more soundproof (5) the sound of plywood material vehicles is more soundproof.

First record of parasitoidism in Danaus erippus (Cramer, 1775) pupae (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae): A possible mediation by an exotic plant species
Authors: Verza Wenrique , Tavares Marcelo T. , Eriksson Alan
Published: August 2024

Monarch butterflies have a close relationship with plants of the Apocynaceae family, especially with the genus Asclepias Linnaeus, 1753, using their toxic cardenolides as a defense against predators. Calotropis procera (Aiton) W.T. Aiton, 1811, native from Africa and Asia and introduced in Brazil as an ornamental plant, is a food alternative for monarchs but contains fewer cardenolides than Asclepias, which may make the butterflies more vulnerable to parasitoids. The interaction between wasps of the genus Brachymeria Westwood, 1829 and butterflies of the genus Danaus Kluk, 1802 is seldom reported. This study reports the first case of parasitism by Brachymeria pandora (Crawford, 1914) in pupae of Danaus erippus (Cramer, 1775) in Brazil, collected in the city of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso. Five butterfly pupae were collected on C. procera; three were parasitized, with 34 emergences of parasitoids. We suggest that the relationship between D. erippus and B. pandora may be facilitated by the lower toxicity of C. procera compared to Asclepias, possibly increasing susceptibility to parasitoidism. The high rate of parasitoidism observed suggests that this possible new interaction could be detrimental to the conservation of D. erippus. Further studies are needed to confirm whether this parasitoid-host interaction also occurs with native Asclepias plants and to investigate the impacts of exotic plants on these types of interactions and on butterfly conservation.
Lost icons from the iconostas of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Yelets Monastery (photo by Stephan Taranushenko)
Authors: Olianina Svitlana
Published: August 2024

The article publishes for the first time archival photos of the icons of the lost iconostasis of the 1670s of the Dormition Cathedral of the Yelets Monastery in Chernihiv, as well as a description of this iconostasis and related historical research, which was carried out in 1916 by the outstanding art critic Stephan Taranushenko, at that time a student of Kharkiv university. The exceptional value of the published materials is because S. Taranushenko was the last researcher who examined and described the monument in detail before its destruction in the 1920s. Currently, it is believed that all parts of the iconostasis and its icons have been destroyed, so the only source of information about their appearance is the photographs made by S. Taranushenko. In addition, the published materials contain information about the history of renovations and descriptions of the iconostasis of the 18th-19th century, which S. Taranushenko discovered in 1916 while working with archival documents stored in the Yelets Monastery. Since the fate of the monastery archives is unknown, the text of S. Taranushenko can be considered the only preserved source on the history of the iconostasis until the beginning of the 20th century.
Modern television projects in the field of cultural and film studies
Authors: Kokhan Tymofii
Published: August 2024

The article emphasizes that modern Ukrainian humanities are actively expanding the research space from decade to decade, opening new “problematic theoretical planes”, the understanding of which may have prospects thanks to the use of the principles of cultural analysis, in particular, interdisciplinarity, dialogism, personalization. The above naturally reveals another “problematic theoretical plane”, which unites a complex of issues related both to the specifics of modern television projects and to a noticeable change in the production, functional, aesthetic and artistic “load” in the tandems “cultural studies – film studies” and “cinema – television”. When considering “modern television projects”: TV series, adaptations of literary classics, numerous talk shows, political shows, entertainment programs, interviews with prominent politicians, scientists, actors, which have been carried out by permanent presenters as subjects of theoretical analysis for decades, – the article emphasizes that the history of the development of television has shown many examples of “pure” television “product”, making this type of artistic activity an integral part of the lives of millions of people. The defining “problematic theoretical plane” in the article is the “artistic paradigm”, which summarizes its content and actualizes the thematic orientation.

Authors: Moremi Ntsako Shereen , Themane Mahlapahlapana
Published: August 2024

This article investigated how school stakeholders perceive the effectiveness of current policies and government Acts on learner discipline. Learner ill-disciplined behaviour is a daily occurrence in today’s classrooms. The question addressed was: What are the stakeholders’ perspectives on the effectiveness of the current policies and government Acts on learner discipline? To answer this question, the study adopted the qualitative approach and a case study design. 12 participants were recruited using the purposive non-probability sampling approach from three primary schools in Rakwadu 1 Circuit, Limpopo Province, South Africa. The sample comprised three principals, three departmental heads involved in the school disciplinary committees, three class teachers, and three representatives of the school’s governing body. Data was gathered using interviews and document analysis. Bandura’s Social Cognitive Learning Theory underpinned the study. The study found that policies and government Acts on learner discipline were ineffective. They failed to help schools to successfully manage ill-discipline. It was also found that stakeholders had inadequate knowledge of policies and government Acts on discipline. It was recommended that the Basic Education Department provide training to school stakeholders regarding policies and government Acts pertaining to learner discipline. The paper will contribute significantly to transformative scholarship on the promotion of teaching and learning. The article may also be helpful to stakeholders who are hard-pressed to find answers for their schools.

: A Blind Autoethnography of Graphic Narrative and a Call for Co-Reading
Authors: Springett Denise
Published: August 2024

The article shares a personal history of a blind reader encountering graphic novels at different times in life. Following a brief review of the low-vision accessible comics and adaptation strategies currently available, it offers a critique of the emphasis placed on high-tech adaptation strategies for idealizing “independent” reading practices. In response to the potentially ableist pitfalls of high-tech adaptation, the article offers “co-reading” as an anti-ableist reading practice which enables access to comics for blind and visually impaired readers while encouraging sighted readers to interrogate ableist assumptions about dis/ability. With reflections on Alison Bechdel’s

, the author considers why blind readers might be interested in reading a conventionally visual medium; why the privileging of independent reading works to limit accessibility of comics to blind and low vision readers; and last but not least, how the practice of collaborative comics reading—co-reading—offers opportunities to engage in anti-ableist praxis of reading comics.
JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters. II. Discovery of Brown Dwarfs in NGC 6397 and Measurement of Age from the Brown Dwarf Cooling Sequence, Using SANDee—A New Grid of Model Isochrones across the Hydrogen-burning Limit

Globular clusters contain vast repositories of metal-poor stars that represent some of the oldest stellar generations in the Universe. The archaeological footprint of early Galactic evolution may be retained in the measurable properties of globular clusters, such as their ages, mass functions, and chemical abundances. Until recently, all photometric studies of globular clusters were restricted to stellar members. Now, the sensitivity of JWST can extend this analysis to the substellar regime. If detected in sufficient numbers, brown dwarf members can provide tight constraints on the properties of their parent population. We present SANDee—a new grid of stellar models that accurately represent the color–magnitude diagrams of globular clusters across the hydrogen-burning limit at a wide range of metallicities. Using JWST NIRCam photometry and the new models, we identify three brown dwarfs in the globular cluster NGC 6397 with T
eff = 1300–1800 K, confirmed by both proper motion and model fitting. We use the observed luminosities of discovered brown dwarfs to obtain the first age estimate of a globular cluster from its substellar cooling sequence: 13.4 ± 3.3 Gyr. We also derive the local mass function of the cluster across the hydrogen-burning limit and find it to be top heavy, suggesting extensive dynamical evolution. We expect that the constraints on both age and mass function of NGC 6397 derived in this work can be greatly improved by a second epoch of NIRCam imaging in the same field.
Photometry of Saturated Stars with Neural Networks
Authors: Winecki Dominik , Kochanek Christopher S.
Published: August 2024

We use a multilevel perceptron (MLP) neural network to obtain photometry of saturated stars in the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). The MLP can obtain fairly unbiased photometry for stars from g ≃ 4 to 14 mag, particularly compared to the dispersion (15%–85% 1σ range around the median) of 0.12 mag for saturated (g < 11.5 mag) stars. More importantly, the light curve of a nonvariable saturated star has a median dispersion of only 0.037 mag. The MLP light curves are, in many cases, spectacularly better than those provided by the standard ASAS-SN pipelines. While the network was trained on g-band data from only one of ASAS-SN’s 20 cameras, initial experiments suggest that it can be used for any camera and the older ASAS-SN V-band data as well. The dominant problems seem to be associated with correctable issues in the ASAS-SN data reduction pipeline for saturated stars more than the MLP itself. The method is publicly available as a light-curve option on ASAS-SN Sky Patrol v1.0.
Observations of Locally Excited Waves in the Low Solar Atmosphere Using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope

Published: August 2024

We present an interpretation of the recent Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) observations of propagating wave fronts in the lower solar atmosphere. Using MPS/University of Chicago MHD radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulations spanning the solar photosphere, the overshoot region, and the lower chromosphere, we identify three acoustic-wave source mechanisms, each occur at a different atmospheric height. We synthesize the DKIST Visible Broadband Imager G-band, blue-continuum, and Ca ii
K signatures of these waves at high spatial and temporal resolution, and conclude that the wave fronts observed by DKIST likely originate from acoustic sources at the top of the solar photosphere overshoot region and in the chromosphere proper. The overall importance of these local sources to the atmospheric energy and momentum budget of the solar atmosphere is unknown, but one of the excitation mechanisms identified (upward propagating shock interaction with down-welling chromospheric plasma resulting in acoustic radiation) may be an important shock dissipation mechanism. Additionally, the observed wave fronts may prove useful for ultralocal helioseismological inversions and promise to play an important diagnostic role at multiple atmospheric heights.
Revisiting the Fundamental Metallicity Relation with Observation and Simulation

The gas-phase metallicity of galaxies is regulated by multiple astrophysical processes, which makes it a crucial diagnostic of galaxy formation and evolution. Beyond the fundamental mass–metallicity relation, a debate about the secondary galaxy property to predict the metallicity of galaxies arises. Motivated by this, we systematically examine the relationship between gas-phase metallicity and other galaxy properties, i.e., the star formation rate (SFR) and galaxy size, in addition to stellar mass in both observation and simulation. We utilize the data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory survey and the TNG50 simulations. We find that the combination of

with β ∼ 0.6–1 is in much stronger correlation to the metallicity than stellar mass alone, regardless of whether the SFR is included or not, in both observation and simulation. This indicates that galaxy size plays a more important role in determining gas-phase metallicity of galaxies than SFR. In addition, The Next Generation simulation predicts that the SFR, although being a subdominant role, becomes increasingly important in the high-z universe. Finally, we speculate that the SFR modulates metallicity on the temporal dimension, synchronized with time-varying gas inflows, and galaxy size regulates metallicity on the spatial dimension by affecting the gravitational potential and the mass-loading factor.

Published: August 2024

A list of Scoliidae species recorded in Panama is presented. Considering the recent taxonomic updates made on this tribe of wasps, as well as the lack of a formal study on its geographical distribution, richness, and species diversity in Panama, this study aimed to document the existing species in the country. Based on literature records and an examination of 383 specimens, we found a total of 13 species and 7 genera. The following two species and one subspecies are recorded for the first time in Panama: Dielis tolteca (Saussure, 1857), Pygodasis hyalina (Saussure, 1864), and Pygodasis ephippium wagneriana (Saussure, 1864).
Le binôme de notions « Cohérence - Cohésion » en tant que prérequis à l’intégration normative des PME
Authors: Bueno Luis
Published: August 2024

Quelles sont les difficultés rencontrées par les PME lorsqu’elles sont contraintes d’intégrer des normes règlementaires ou volontaires dans le cadre de leur stratégie de développement ? Le présent article décrit l’accompagnement du processus d’intégration normative d’une petite entreprise par le biais d’une recherche-intervention longitudinale de 6 années menée avec la méthodologie d’intervention du management socio-économique. C’est dans ce contexte que nous évaluons les contributions d’un renforcement préalable de l’infrastructure de l’organisation à la démarche d’intégration normative. La mobilisation des notions de cohérence (stratégique puis opérationnelle) et de cohésion permet le renforcement de ce que nous avons identifié comme le « socle managérial » de l’organisation.
On an anisotropic $ \overset{\rightarrow }{p}(\cdot) $-Laplace equation with variable singular and sublinear nonlinearities
Authors: Avci Mustafa
Published: August 2024

In the present paper, we study an anisotropic $ \overset{\rightarrow }{p}(\cdot) $-Laplace equation with combined effects of variable singular and sublinear nonlinearities. Using the Ekeland's variational principle and a constrained minimization, we show the existence of a positive solution for the case where the variable singularity $ \beta(x) $ assumes its values in the interval $ (1, \infty) $.
