Authors: Li Handong , Palacin Roberto , Dlay Satnam
Published: July 2023

One of the most significant aspects for the correct operation of a modern railway electrification system is the health of the pantograph and overhead line. The application of machine vision technology to monitor the status of pantographs in real time can reduce pantographs and catenary accidents caused by unpredictable events. It is challenging to achieve real-time and accurate criteria with present pantograph detecting technologies. Therefore, this methodology collects pantograph images through high-definition cameras and transmits them to the cloud through 5G, use the Mask R-CNN algorithm to process and analyse the images., This technology can assist railway technicians in judging the status of the pantograph. Mask R-CNN employs the Resnet network for feature extraction. Resnet has the characteristics of cross-layer connection, which avoids the problem of network degradation due to the deep learning network being too deep, and greatly improves the training efficiency. The recognition matching degree of pantographs are greater than 0.975, enabling pantograph recognition in a variety of environmental conditions. The use of 5G connection increases transmission speed and allows for real-time detection of pantograph status, which is critical for the railway's automated operation.

Published: July 2023

Hypertension is one of the major causes of cardiovascular and renal pathologies and it is mainly characterized by high blood pressure in blood vessels. Many drugs have been developed to treat hypertension, but these drugs have several side effects. Atenolol belongs to the beta blocker drug class and is used to treat hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. It is an anti-beta-adrenergic agent which inhibits beta receptors in the heart to decrease blood pressure. It has several side effects including hepatic dysfunctions. Objective: To analyze the effects of atenolol on hepatic dysfunction by evaluating the ALT level in patients taking either atenolol alone or in combination with other hypertensive drugs. Methods: The change in ALT levels were measured upon treatment of atenolol alone or in combination with other anti-hypertensive drugs. Out of selected 80 patients, 43 had been taking atenolol alone, 37 were taking atenolol in combination with other anti-hypertensive drugs and 20 were healthy controls. Micro-laboratory tests were performed for measuring the ALT levels. Results: Atenolol did not affect the ALT levels of any group, neither alone nor in combination with other hypertensive drugs. Conclusions: Atenolol may cause hepatic dysfunction but according to this study it does not cause change in ALT level of blood and ALT is not elevated in all liver dysfunction as have been reported earlier so it didn’t diminish the chance of effect of atenolol on liver functions. Further this study may be employed on larger patient groups for strengthening the outcomes of this study.

Published: July 2023

Bone Marrow Mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) have shown an encouraging promise for cell-based treatments and regenerative medicine applications.  Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can damage mitochondria and are detrimental to BMSC cell viability. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is a crucial ingredient that is frequently added to culture media as an antioxidant. Its role in the proliferation of BMSCs has already been studied. However, no research has been done on its effects on the ability of BMSC to regenerate mitochondrial damage. Objective: To analyze the recovery of mitochondrial damage by H2O2-induced oxidative stress with Ascorbic Acid. Methods: BMSCs were cultured and treated with H2O2 in order to induce oxidative stress. The injured BMSCs were then treated with vitamin C and their regeneration and recovery from mitochondrial damage is investigated by cell viability assays, ELISA and gene expression profiling. Recovery from oxidative damage is checked through anti-oxidative enzymes. Results: Findings showed that supplementing with vitamin C greatly enhanced cell viability and proliferation. It significantly decreased the BMSC's generation of ROS brought on by H2O2. These results imply that Ascorbic Acid may enhance the rate of proliferation and reduces apoptosis by recovering the mitochondrial damage as evidenced by the down-regulation of BAX. Conclusions: H2O2 when given to BMSC could create oxidative stress which in turn damages these cells as evidenced by their decreased cell viability. Ascorbic acid was also observed to regenerate the cells from H2O2 injury with the help of increased cells’ viability and proliferation and decreased apoptosis.

IRAN'S LOOK EAST POLICY: A STEP TOWARDS COUNTERING WESTERN PRESSURES
Authors: Abbas Dr. Syed Qandil
Published: July 2023

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, relations between Iran, the US, and its allies have deteriorated. The US and the West pressurised Iran by imposing sanctions, especially after the Iranian hostage crisis and the development of its nuclear programme. Iran wanted to counter Israeli nuclear ambitions by developing its programme but had to face sanctions. Due to these sanctions, Iran's economy suffered severely. Despite having vast energy resources in the form of oil and gas, it could not achieve its full economic potential. During Hassan Rouhani's presidency, Iran signed a nuclear deal (JCPOA) with the US-led Western alliance. Still, the unilateral withdrawal of the US under Donald Trump proved that compromise between Iran and the US is almost impossible from their present standpoints. In this situation, Iran had to find other partners to help it counter the Western pressures for its economic survival. TheOriental powers like Russia and China provided a good opportunity for Iran to counter sanctions. Therefore, Iran also began to focus on other Eurasian and Southeast Asian economies. This research analyses Iran's Look East Policy, especially under President Ibrahim Raisi. It critically examines how Iran can implement its Look East Policy under ongoing regional and international scenarios, what the hurdles will be in implementing this policy, and what the prospects will be. To answer these questions, Realism can be a most relevant theoretical perspective. According to Morgenthau's six principles of Realism, international politics are shaped by a state's interests, especially regarding power.

POLITICAL DRIVERS OF INDIA'S BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENCE PROGRAMME AND IMPLICATIONS FOR SOUTH ASIAN SECURITY
Authors: Haider Mr. Faraz , Sultan Dr Adil
Published: July 2023

The reasons for the birth and continuation of India's BMD programme argue for security concerns. However, those are not reflected in on-ground realities. The paper explores said gap and the resulting security implications and highlights defence policy options. The drivers behind India's BMD programme can be analysed by considering the external and internal political drivers that shape India's security interests. India's BMD programme started before formally declaring itself a nuclear weapon state. It grew parallel with the Indo-US strategic partnership to build India's political and military standing as part of the US-led Indo-Pacific strategy. An increase in India's military potential will likely have severe repercussions for security and strategic stability between two nuclear neighbours, India and Pakistan. BMDs could lead to a false sense of protection for the possessor state and provide an incentive for launching a 'first strike' against the adversary. In response, Pakistan can contemplate several options without embroiling itself in a BMD race. Pakistan has already developed several versions of air, land, and sea-launched cruise missiles and is expanding its MIRVs that can sufficiently evade and penetrate India's BMD systems. Additionally, indigenously built UAVs could counter India's BMD system and disrupt or degrade associated ISR through electronic warfare and jamming capabilities.

Визначення митної вартості товарів, які ввозяться на митну територію, за ціною договору між пов’язаними особами: зарубіжний досвід
Authors: Петросян В. О.
Published: July 2023

Досліджені положення митного законодавства зарубіжних держав, що стосуються підстав визнання пов’язаними особами продавця та покупця за договором щодо товарів, які ввозяться на митну територію, та значення такого зв’язку між ними для прийнятності ціни договору як основи визначення митної вартості. Охоплена також практика застосування відповідних законодавчих положень. За підсумками дослідження, зокрема, обґрунтовано, що критерії належності до пов’язаних осіб слід тлумачити еволюційно з урахуванням сучасних реалій. Автор також вказує на те, що визначальним фактором при оцінці впливу пов’язаності продавця та покупця є підтвердження декларантом того, що ціна продажу суттєво не відрізняється від ціни, яка була б стягнута з непов’язаного покупця за інших ідентичних обставин. Особливо важливим визнається правильне встановлення економічного підґрунтя договору, у тому числі факторів ціноутворення, якими визнаються, зокрема, характер товарів та галузі економіки, сезон, комерційні рівні, кількісні рівні тощо. Наведені обставини, за яких різниця між ціною договору між пов’язаними особами та між непов’язаними особами щодо ідентичних товарів може бути виправдана з точки зору можливості застосування основного методу. Наголошено, що при цьому митні органи мають бути послідовними у визначенні того, чи одне значення близько наближається до іншого значення.

En segundo lugar, se da cuenta del devenir de la Conferencia, subrayando los problemas de definición procedimental del evento y los principales disensos entre los representantes. Por último, se hace balance de la disparidad en los debates del momento acerca de las fuentes, la naturaleza y los propósitos que debía representar el derecho internacional.
¿Estuvo el mundo al borde del apocalipsis en 1983? Una reinterpretación de Able Archer 83
Authors: Colom-Piella Guillem
Published: July 2023

Uno de los episodios más insólitos de la Guerra Fría sucedió en noviembre de 1983, coincidiendo con el ejercicio de mando aliado Able Archer. La tesis mayoritaria plantea que Moscú interpretó que estos ejercicios para ensayar procedimientos de empleo de armas nucleares podían ocultar un ataque por sorpresa. En consecuencia, la Unión Soviética se preparó para atacar preventivamente. Basándose en la documentación disponible, este artículo pretende reconstruir estos acontecimientos y su interpretación para exponer sus incoherencias y proponer una explicación alternativa: Moscú conocía Able Archer y los movimientos militares no estaban motivados por el pánico sino por una demostración de fuerza.

Assessing the Epistemic Value of Astrology: A Comparative Analysis with Other Sciences
Authors: Ramprasad S , Manohara
Published: July 2023

This research paper aims to critically evaluate the epistemic value of astrology in comparison to other scientific disciplines. Astrology has long been a subject of fascination and controversy due to its claims of predicting human behavior and destiny based on celestial positions and relationships. However, its credibility as a scientific field remains a topic of intense debate. The study employs a comparative analysis approach to assess the highness of astrology in relation to other well-established sciences. By examining key criteria such as empirical evidence, testability, falsifiability, explanatory power, and predictive capacity, we aim to determine the epistemic strength of astrology relative to other scientific disciplines. Our findings reveal that astrology falls short in meeting the rigorous standards of scientific inquiry when compared to disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, and psychology. The lack of empirical evidence supporting astrological claims, combined with the inability to generate reliable and consistent predictions, limits its validity as a scientific field. In contrast, other sciences have demonstrated significant advancements through experimental verification, peer review, and the development of robust theories and models. They have consistently produced reliable results, contributed to technological advancements, and expanded our understanding of the natural world. While astrology may hold cultural and historical significance, its highness in the realm of science remains questionable. This study emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and evidence-based reasoning when evaluating scientific claims. Furthermore, it highlights the need for rigorous scientific methodologies in distinguishing between pseudoscience and legitimate scientific disciplines.

Top skills do profissional do futuro e a educação jurídica brasileira: uma alternativa para o desenvolvimento de competências
Authors: Victovoski José Jacir , Marocco Andréa de Almeida Leite
Published: July 2023

A educação jurídica é caracterizada por uma metodologia didático-pedagógica centrada na figura do professor, pela transmissão de conteúdos em aulas expositivas e o aluno reduzido a um papel de espectador passivo. Contudo, o Relatório The Future of Jobs do Fórum Econômico Mundial, demonstra que apenas saber conteúdos não é mais suficiente e o profissional do futuro precisa de pensamento analítico, aprendizado ativo, estratégias de aprendizagem, ser inovador, criativo, original, ter iniciativa, liderança, influência social, pensamento crítico, saiba resolver problemas complexos, possua inteligência emocional e resiliência, seja tolerante ao estresse e flexível, faça uso de tecnologia, saiba raciocinar, tenha ideação, faça análise e avaliação de sistemas, saiba persuadir e domine técnicas de negociação. Neste cenário, considerando o descompasso entre a educação jurídica e aquilo que se espera dos novos profissionais, o artigo se propõe a analisar as características do ensino-aprendizagem por competências e a utilização das metodologias ativas enquanto caminho viável para a inovação e superação do modelo. O método utilizado é o analítico, com suporte em pesquisa teórica baseada em levantamentos bibliográficos. O artigo conclui que o ensino-aprendizagem baseado em competências e a utilização de metodologias ativas constituem uma alternativa viável para superar os desafios constatados na educação jurídica, na medida em que capacitam por meio da mobilização de conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes, transferindo o protagonismo ao estudante, enquanto sujeito do próprio processo de formação.
Processos socializadores e (in)disciplinares na cultura de uma escola militarizada na Amazônia Amapaense - município de Macapá - AP
Authors: Rocha Leonor Barbosa , Ribeiro Adalberto Carvalho
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre os processos socializadores e disciplinares presentes na cultura de uma escola militarizada localizada na Amazônia brasileira, no município de Macapá, estado do Amapá. A questão-problema deste estudo tratou de questionar: como tem se configurado, mais recentemente (2020 até 2023), a cultura escolar, na unidade pesquisada, a partir de sua militarização em seus aspectos disciplinares e processos socializadores?  Trata-se de um estudo de caso de natureza etnográfica, com base qualitativa. Os resultados apontam que os processos socializadores e disciplinares têm configurado uma cultura escolar militar hierárquica forçadamente disciplinar, unilateral, coercitiva e que tais questões têm reflexos no cotidiano da escola. Todavia, as regras informais e o cotidiano dos alunos indicam que a disciplina forçada não tem tido completa eficácia.
A NECESSIDADE DE ABORDAGEM DA CULTURA AFRO-BRASILEIRA NA LITERATURA INFANTIL NAS ESCOLAS BRASILEIRA A FIM DE COMBATER O PRECONCEITO RELIGIOSO
Authors: Blank Gleicy
Published: July 2023

A construção de identidade das crianças é uma trajetória difícil de ser trilhada; em um mundo como o nosso, cheio de diversidades culturais, este papel deixou de ser apenas dos pais, e passou a ser também dos professores e de todos aqueles que, de alguma forma, exerçam papel na educação dos pequenos. Esta construção de caráter é efetivada através da exposição da criança à educação, sendo a literatura, desses mecanismos. Por ser um portal para adquirir informações e conhecimento, a literatura inclusiva deve ser introduzida logo nos primeiros anos da criança, para que ela possa, desde cedo, ter contado com as diversidades de realidades existentes, sendo capaz de problematizar reflexões sobre práticas antirracistas e possibilitando que crianças leitoras sejam capazes de adquirir uma visão de mundo mais positiva e abrangente. Diante disso, o presente artigo acadêmico tem como principal objetivo apresentar uma perspectiva de análise sobre como a diversidade étnico-racial pode ser abordado dentro da literatura infantil e como ela pode influenciar na formatação de opinião, caráter e visão de mundo das crianças. Ao inserir a cultura afro-brasileira na literatura infantil, é possível fornecer às crianças uma visão mais ampla e diversificada da realidade, promovendo a compreensão, o respeito e a valorização da diversidade cultural e religiosa. A pesquisa bibliográfica revelou que existem diversos livros infantis que podem ser abordados na escolas infantis, e que elas podem representar uma excelente porta de entrada para mitigação do preconceito religioso. Além disso, é essencial que os educadores sejam capacitados para abordar essas temáticas de forma adequada, promovendo diálogos abertos, respeitosos e reflexivos com os estudantes. A parceria entre escola, família e comunidade também é fundamental para fortalecer a educação antirracista e a valorização da diversidade religiosa. Em conclusão, a abordagem da cultura afro-brasileira na literatura infantil nas escolas brasileiras é uma estratégia eficaz para combater o preconceito religioso desde a infância.. A conscientização, o respeito mútuo e a valorização da diversidade cultural e religiosa são pilares fundamentais para a construção de uma sociedade mais inclusiva, igualitária e livre de preconceitos.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) varieties, viz. Kufri Lauvkar (early maturing), Kufri Gaurav and Kufri Jyoti (medium maturing) were examined during the years 2018–19 and 2019–20 for the seed size tubers production with 3 dates of haulm killing, viz. 70, 80, and 90 days after planting under West-Central Indian conditions at ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute, Regional Station Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Haulm killing at 80 (15.05 t/ha) and 90 days (14.60 t/ha) noticed significantly greater seed size tubers weight over 70 days' haulm killing (12.13 t/ha). Kufri Gaurav recorded substantially greater number of seed size tuber (288 t/ha) and weight (15.76 t/ha) than the other two varieties. Eighty days haulm killing was observed to be the best seed significantly: non-seed ratio (1.088 by numberand 0.659 by weight) followed by 70 days (1.140 by number and 0.734 by weight) over the poorest 90 days haulm killing (1.121 by number and 0.946 by weight). Therefore, for achieving high seed-size potato tubers, haulm cutting should be done at 80 DAP.

The present field experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) seasons of 2018–19 and 2019–20 at ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute, Regional Station Jalandhar, Punjab to find out the suitable planting geometry and dehaulming date for enhancing the seed potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) yield and profitability under north-western plains of India. According to the study planting geometry and dehaulming date strongly influenced the seed size tuber yield and quality. Among the different planting geometries, paired row bed planting significantly increased the yield and number of seed size tubers when dehaulming was done after 80–90 days. Maximum gross income, net returns and benefit:cost ratio was also observed under paired row bed planting over the conventional planting geometry. Paired row bed planting increased the tuber yield by 21.7% and benefit:cost ratio by 18.6% over the control. Hence, it is concluded from the experiment that paired row bed planting is found suitable for maximizing the seed size tuber numbers, yield as well as getting the maximum economic returns.
