Video games are an entertainment phenomenon that is popular among today's people. Various genres of video games have emerged and have their own impression on the players. In it, video games have visual elements that have their own uniqueness and aesthetic value. These visuals can provide information, especially on the character designs in the game world. Like the visual elements in the game Genshin Impact, where the visual elements in it certainly have meaning and interpretation of each other and form the narrative in the game itself. Characters created with certain characteristics will certainly attract players' interest. This research aims to interpret the visual design contained in the creation of a character using Ricoer's hermeneutic theory. Through analysis carried out with Ricoer's visual hermeneutics perspective, we can view Xiao's character design as a work of art that is not only pleasing to the eye, but also summarizes a philosophical and emotional narrative that gives character depth in this fantasy world. Hermeneutics plays a central role in helping us understand the meaning and complexity of Xiao's character behind his visual elements.
Naomi Mitchison's Spring Queen: A Not So Archetypical Monarch

Authors: Sánchez García María Jesús
Published: November 2024

Growing up in a politically and socially active household, Scottish author Naomi Mitchison (1897-1998) was a polymath. She had a curious mind and a great capacity to express her knowledge about science and society in her literary works. Her fantasy novel The Corn King and the Spring Queen (1931) takes us back to a mythical past, typical of the returning to roots and folklore of the Scottish Renaissance. However, she subverts the roles traditionally associated with men and women as she advocates for sexual freedom and illustrates the symbolic connection between the female body and the earth.
POSTCOLONIAL STRANGERS IN LEILA ABOUELA'S THE TRANSLATOR (1999)

Authors: Fernández Díaz María
Published: November 2024

The aim of this article is to analyse Leila Aboulela’s semi-autobiographical novel The Translator (1999) and her portrayal of Muslim women living in Britain before the popularization of the “clash of civilizations” discourse between Islam and the West. In order to do so, the paper adopts Sara Ahmed’s theorizations on the figure of the stranger, which will be examined in relation to the novel’s main character, considering her views and feelings on migration, home, and the nation. Finally, the article will look at how Islam is presented in the novel as a cosmopolitan project which may potentially build solidarity ties between vastly different subjectivities.
VULNERABILITY, RESISTANCE, DEPENDENCY AND MANIPULATION: THE RECEPTION OF HADES AND PERSEPHONE IN RITA DOVE AND LOUISE GLÜCK

Authors: Kichouh Aiadi Sanae
Published: November 2024

The myth of Demeter and Persephone has acquired a stable place in contemporary literature. Three prominent examples of this reception are the poems “Hades’ Pitch,” “Pomegranate,” and “A Myth of Devotion” pertaining to Rita Dove’s Mother Love (1995) as well as Louise Glück’s The House on Marshland (1975) and Averno (2006). Considering Reception Studies and Vulnerability Studies as the main theoretical framework, this paper will pursue the dialogue between the ancient myth and these contemporary appropriations by exploring the reception of the ancient myth in these poems while focusing on Hades’ manipulation, Persephone’s vulnerability, the mother-daughter dependency bond, and resistance.
"AN EASY ENOUGH LIE": THE THREE FALSE BEGINNINGS IN BRANDON SANDERSON'S THE WAY OF KINGS AND THE RENOVATION OF FANTASY

Authors: Pedrosa del Caño Carlos
Published: November 2024

The new wave of authors in fantasy has brought new and interesting changes to the current era. One of them is Brandon Sanderson, who is challenging the traditional archetypes of stories and characters. The three opening chapters of The Way of Kings create in the reader curiosity as they go through three isolated events in the history of Roshar. White’s emplotment, Hogan’s theory on narratives of war and Phelan’s definition of beginnings are key to my analysis of Sanderson’s strategy to draw the reader’s attention and to redefine several elements that were essential to epic fantasy stories.

Authors: Nobi Md. Nur , Billah Dr. Md. Arif , Ali Md. Mokshud , Khatun Mabia
Published: November 2024

In light of the recent drop in their profitability this study looked into whether conventional and mixed banks in Bangladesh were more efficient than Islamic banks. For the years between 2014 and 2020, we examined 300 firm-year observations from 40 private banks, and researcher discovered strong proof that conventional and mixed banks are more efficient than Islamic banks. With the help of Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier Analysis, author calculated operational efficiency. Additional research revealed that Islamic banks' inferior efficiency was caused by their non investment revenue. The most recent years in our sample frame showed a considerable decline in Islamic banks' efficiency compared to the early times during that window. These results enabled us to provide an explanation for the recent drop in the relative profitability of Islamic banks. In order for Islamic banks to be competitive in Bangladesh's rapidly expanding banking market, researcher advises management to provide their assortment of non-investment goods and services more consideration.
Hint in the paradigm of communicative linguistics
Authors: Guo Yingdong , Nikolaeva Ol'ga Vasil'evna
Published: November 2024

Special attention is given to analyzing research on hints as a form of indirect communication. There are differences in hint definition and research methods among scholars from different linguistic paradigms and countries. The focus of hint research within the linguistic paradigm remains on defining and classifying hints, considering concepts within different paradigms such as semiotics, semantics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and cognitive linguistics. The objectives of this study are: 1) to summarize the extent to which the category of hint has been studied by scholars in China, Russia and Western countries within the linguistic paradigm; 2) to compare and contrast the methodological principles and techniques of hint research. Besides, based on the results of the research, the article pays special attention to the study of hints within the framework of linguistic pragmatics. The following research methods were used in this study: descriptive method, comparative analysis and generalization method.The author's special contribution to the study of the topic is: 1) presentation of different understandings of the definition of the category "hint". In linguistic pragmatics, a hint is a speech act that indirectly conveys information and emotions and influences the addressee's state; 2) identification of criteria for classifying a hint. The criteria are centered on two aspects: "context" and "intention"; 3) determination of types and kinds of hints. Different forms of innuendo in dialogic lines and Textual Fragments are highlighted. The novelty of this study is to point out the integrative role of linguistic pragmatics in the study of indirect speech acts. In addition, the nature of different types of hint is established based on objective and subjective factors, i.e. different intents of the speaker and contexts.
The Epistemological Frontier in the Culture of Science Communication after Paul Feyerabend
Authors: Bakumenko Gennady Vladimirovich
Published: November 2024

The subject of the study is the heuristic potential of the theoretical construct of the “epistemological frontier”, which describes the state of scientific knowledge in the context of methodological pluralism. The post-non-classical stage in the development of science is characterized by the coexistence of concepts about the object, formulated in various paradigms and based on different theoretical approaches. The culture of scientific communication, as an area of creation, preservation and development of scientific knowledge, which is the object of our attention, is significantly expanding, including different epistemological traditions. Therefore, there is a methodological need to include in the orbit of theoretical attention the area of scientific knowledge formed between two or more concepts that are not reducible to a common dialectical basis. The purpose of the article is to reveal the descriptive and heuristic potential of the “epistemological frontier” construct for studying the event horizon between the extreme values of the cosmological foundations of scientific creativity designated by P. Feyerabend (Aristotelian and modern, post-Copernian). To achieve this within the framework of philosophical and analytical methodology, the author solves two scientific and cognitive problems: formalizes the construct of “epistemological frontier” and examines its applicability for understanding Feyerabend's philosophy. The theoretical construct of “epistemological frontier” proposed by the author certainly requires further theoretical criticism, including clarification of the limits of its application. Its heuristic potential lies primarily in the fact that it can be used to record the simultaneous validity and truth of contradictory provisions formulated on the basis of various theoretical positions: the multidimensionality of truth, even if it is paradoxical, is thus no longer a sign of the falsity of one of the judgments. The coexistence of contradictory truths is becoming the norm, especially in the field of social and humanitarian sciences.

Modeling molecular activity and quantitative structure-activity relationships of chemical compounds is critical in drug design. Graph neural networks, which utilize molecular structures as frames, have shown success in assessing the biological activity of chemical compounds, guiding the selection and optimization of candidates for further development. However, current models often overlook activity cliffs (ACs)—cases where structurally similar molecules exhibit different bioactivities—due to latent spaces primarily optimized for structural features. Here, we introduce AC-awareness (ACA), an inductive bias designed to enhance molecular representation learning for activity modeling. The ACA jointly optimizes metric learning in the latent space and task performance in the target space, making models more sensitive to ACs. We develop \name, an AC-informed contrastive learning approach that can be integrated with any graph neural network. Experiments on 39 benchmark datasets demonstrate that AC-informed representations of chemical compounds consistently outperform standard models in bioactivity prediction across both regression and classification tasks. AC-informed models show strong performance in predicting pharmacokinetic and safety-relevant molecular properties. ACA paves the way toward activity-informed molecular representations, providing a valuable tool for the early stages of lead compound identification, refinement, and virtual screening.
A Simple Transfer Learning Approach for Assessing Small Datasets in Electrochemical Energy Cells Manufacturing
Authors: Fernandez Francisco , Saravanan Soorya , Omongos Rashen Lou , Fernandez Troncoso Javier , Galvez-Aranda Diego E. , Franco Alejandro A.
Published: November 2024

The performance of electrochemical cells for energy storage and conversion, such as batteries and fuel cells, can be improved by optimizing their manufacturing processes. This can be very time consuming and costly through the conventional trial-and-error approaches. Machine Learning (ML) models can help to accelerate finding solutions to these types of problems. In academic research laboratories, manufacturing dataset sizes can be small, while ML models typically require large amounts of data. In this work, we propose a simple Transfer Learning (TL) approach where a Neural Network (NN) is trained in a vast dataset. Then, this NN is transferred to smaller datasets by freezing its weights and adding an extra trainable layer to improve the performance of this new TL-based NN. This novel approach is tested with pre-existing manufacturing experimental and stochastically generated datasets that were not acquired with the purpose of training ML models.
Block-copolymer directed in-situ synthesis of Mesoporous SiCN and Supported Au & Ag nanoparticles for Catalysis
Authors: Pillai Saravana K T , Motz Gunter , Kretschmer Winfried
Published: November 2024

Novel concerted copolymerization, microphase separation, and crosslinking strategy for the synthesis of mesoporous SiCN with high surface area has been developed. Influence of pore size and surface area by changing length and ratio of porogen organic block is demonstrated. Longer the chain length and higher the porogen ratio trends the SiCN under mesoporous region with high surface area. Whereas shorter chain length porogen trends the SiCN under microporous region. The de Boer method, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and statistical thickness plot (t-plot) are utilised to confirm mesoporous and microporous textural properties of the SiCN. The same synthetic strategy is also extended to the synthesis of mesoporous SiCN supported metal nanoparticles. Well distributed in situ formation of gold and silver nanoparticles during the synthesis of mesoporous SiCN is emerged followed by successful prevention of sintering at 1000°C. Synthesized materials are mainly characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, powder X-ray diffrectometer and nitrogen physisorption techniques.
Binding Study of Berenil and d(CGCGAATTCGCG)2 and d(CGCAAATTTGCG)2 DNA Dodecamers by Isothermal Titration Calorimetry and Molecular Docking Simulations
Authors: Rocha Ramon K , Martins-Jose Andrelly , Almeida Vera L , Denadai Angelo ML , LOPES JÚLIO CD
Published: November 2024

Berenil, an anti-trypanosomal agent, is a dicationic bis-benzamidine that has been classified as a minor groove binding ligand in AT-rich regions of DNA. However, previous studies have suggested that berenil can bind to various DNA double strands exhibiting both intercalative and minor groove binding modes. In this work we present a biophysical study analyzing the interaction between berenil and two synthetic DNAs that suggests that this molecule shows a mixed bind behaviour when binding to double stranded DNA. It is possible that more than one berenil molecule can bind to DNA dodecamers double strands. The second molecule may be interacting through intercalation. The data from isothermic calorimetric titrations at 298 K were analyzed by Wiseman Isotherm and classical thermodynamic equations. Thermodynamic parameters for complexation between the two DNAs were obtained by ITC experiments and Autodock calculations. The results show that the intercalative effect of the molecule is entropically driven.

Improvement of Mohr-Coulomb criterion for designing pavements of roads of low traffic intensity
Authors: Aleksandrov A. S. , Semenova T. V.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. Currently, when designing road pavements taking into account soil shear displacement, shear stresses from temporary and permanent loads are calculated at different values of internal friction angle. Consequently, in terms of soil shear displacement while designing road pavements, stresses applied along two different sites are considered, which is an error and requires correction.

   Materials and methods. A model for predicting accumulated residual deformation has been developed, which allows for determining the value of the maximum principal stress at which the residual deformation reaches its limit value, given that values of the minimum principal stress and the number of applied loads are known. The values of principal stresses being taken into account, the adhesion and the angle of internal friction are calculated for the number of loads considered in the deformation calculation.

   Results. The calculation of shear resistance and resistance to universal tension parameters was performed by applying the proposed model and the Barksdale-Kazarnovsky model for calculating the accumulated residual deformation. The calculation results have been compared.

   Conclusions. The obtained results allow for designing surfaces of roads of low traffic intensity based on the criterion of resistance to soil shear displacement.
A Study on Issues and Challenges Faced by the Street Vendors in Mysore City
Authors: Basavanna Hebbasur Mahadevaiah
Published: November 2024

Street trading is the oldest mode of trading form of retail business in the country, though it was considered illegal in independent India for six decades. In the year 2014, the parliament agreed to the Street Vendors Act (to protect livelihood to regulate street vending), this act legally enables providing a prosperous atmosphere. In the present day, many street vendors primarily work to raise income to provide basic needs like food for their family members and to pay the school fees of their children. This would become the source of income for unemployed persons, especially middle-aged women who have limited education. In this context, through objective model methodology studies, this study selected 110 street vendors of Mysuru city to know their socioeconomic status along with the challenges and problems faced by them. 38.18 % of vendors were illiterate, 58.18% belonged to backward classes, and 28% of vendors had 251 to 350 rupees of daily income. 48.18% of traders face low-income problems and 40.9% of traders face a low range of competition in the market. Likely 40% of people facing medium-level challenges related to the environment, and 36.36% were confronting intermediate-level social security challenges. Around 46.37% were encountering a medium level of issues from the local committees. The study shows that 42.73% of traders were confronted with low levels of market fluctuations in prices. Hence, it is significant that this study helps to solve the problems of street vendors.

Division of labour between dimorphic stamens in Melastoma candidum (Melastomataceae): Role of stamen strength in the biomechanics of pollination
Authors: Hachiman Shogo , Uejo Masashi , Denda Tetsuo
Published: November 2024

The division of labour hypothesis suggests that plants exhibiting heteranthery utilise different stamen types for distinct purposes; feeding stamens provide pollen as a reward for pollinators, whereas pollinating stamens ensure successful reproduction. However, the biomechanical factors that influence pollinator behaviour in relation to different stamen types remain underexplored. In this study, we investigated Melastoma candidum, a species characterised by dimorphic stamens and poricidal anthers, to elucidate how flower morphology, pollen fertility, and biomechanics of pollinator interactions affect pollination efficiency. We observed the behaviour and stamen preference of multiple bee species visiting the flowers, with a particular focus on the frequency of flower visitation and stigma contact. Among the pollinators studied, Xylocopa flavifrons emerged as the primary pollinator on Okinawajima Island, Japan. Our analysis revealed that while both stamen types exhibit comparable pollen fertility, X. flavifrons preferentially buzzed feeding stamens with the mechanical advantage of pollen collection due to their structural integrity. This preference was further corroborated by biomechanical interactions, wherein the weaker pollinating stamens could not bear the weight of the bee, thereby relegating their function in pollen release. These findings elucidate the significant influence of biomechanical factors on pollinator behaviour and stamen function, providing novel insights into the mechanisms underlying division of labour in plant-pollinator interactions.

The research work is devoted to studying the main clinical, laboratory and echographic manifestations of pyometra in dogs and assessing their significance in the diagnostics of open and closed forms of the disease. It was found that the open clinical form of pyometra is much more common (77.78% vs. 22.22%) than the closed one. Pathological discharge from the vulva serves as a cardinal symptom of the open form of pyometra and allows to clearly differentiate it from the closed form. Common systemic clinical and laboratory manifestations of the open and closed forms of pyometra are hyporexia/anorexia, lethargy, polyuria/polydipsia, hyper/hypothermia, neutrophilic leukocytosis and monocytosis. In the closed form of pyometra, leukopenia, neutropenia and lymphocytopenia are also more common. Complex ultrasound (in B- and D-modes) is widely used and highly informative method of diagnosing pyometra in bitches. Ultrasound examinations in B-mode allow to visually determine the presence of inflammatory changes in the uterus (for example, it is possible to determine the dilatation of the lumen of the uterine horns with hypoechoic contents (pus), an increase in the thickness of the uterine walls and/or the presence of formations of various sizes in the endometrium such as cysts). Research in D- allows the parameters of uterine blood flow to assess the nature and activity of the pathologic process. Disorders in the hemodynamics of the uterus in the closed form of the pyometra are, as a rule, more pronounced than in the open clinical form of the disease.

Методом атомно-слоевого осаждения из тетрахлорида титана и воды получены пленки TiO2. Установлено изменение фазового состава пленок при изменении температур осаждения и отжига. При температуре осаждения 150 °C образуются аморфные пленки, при температурах 200-400 °С – пленки, содержащие фазу анатаза, при более высоких температурах (450 и 500 °C) – пленки, содержащие смесь фаз анатаза и рутила. Отжиг высокотемпературных пленок при температурах 400 и 500 °C приводит к увеличению относительной интенсивности рефлексов рутила. Методами растровой электронной микроскопии и атомно силовой микроскопии исследована морфология пленок. С ростом температуры осаждения наблюдается увеличение размера зерен на поверхности пленок.

This paper introduces the Topp-Leone Burr X distribution (TLBXD), a novel extension of the Burr X distribution, developed within the framework of the Topp-Leone-G family. The TLBXD is designed to effectively model varying datasets, addressing the limitations of classical distributions when applied to heterogeneous data. We derived and presented key mathematical and statistical properties of the TLBXD, ensuring their clarity and applicability for practical use. A simulation study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of different parameter estimation methods, including least squares (LS), maximum product of spacings (MPS), weighted least squares (WLS), and maximum likelihood (ML). The proposed distribution was applied to two real-world dates related to the daily exchange rates of the Nigerian Naira against the EURO and RIYAL. The TLBXD demonstrated superior performance compared to existing sub-models. In addition to the data modeling, this research also applied the proposed distribution to explore the predictive capabilities of machine learning and deep learning techniques for exchange rate forecasting. Three machine learning models, including the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest, and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) were evaluated alongside a deep learning algorithm, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The models were trained on 80% of the data set and tested on the remaining 20% to assess prediction accuracy. The results reveal that the LSTM model has significantly outperformed the machine learning models in forecasting exchange rates, as evidenced by lower root means squared errors (RMSE) and mean absolute errors (MAE) values.

The Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY) is a flagship maternity benefit program launched by the Government of India in 2017. Its primary objective is to provide financial assistance to pregnant and lactating women, aiming to improve their overall health and nutritional status. This initiative plays a pivotal role in enhancing maternal health and promoting the well-being of both mothers and newborns across India. Despite the program's potential, several factors influence the accessibility and utilization of PMMVY benefits. Understanding these determinants is crucial for maximizing the scheme's reach among eligible beneficiaries. Variables such as age, education, awareness, the application process, and socioeconomic conditions are key in determining how effectively the program's benefits are accessed. Each of these factors can either facilitate or obstruct the successful implementation of PMMVY. The study tries to examines the effect of the independent variables like age, education, and awareness on the benefits of PMMVY scheme. It also explores the potential association between PMMVY beneficiaries and their preferred place of delivery. Additionally, the paper analyzes obstacles in availing PMMVY benefits and proposes measures to overcome these challenges.
