Published: October 2023

The emergence of cryptocurrency financial technology in the world has introduced new global cashless payment system. Researchers, scholars, jurisdictions, central banks and governments all over the world has put much attention in this payment technology. Despite the enormous benefits of cryptocurrency, it has been associated with several risks and challenges including high price volatility, security vulnerabilities and the illegal activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, corruption and fraud. Moreover, the level of acceptance and adoption of this currency is questionable among the public and especially in the financial sector. This study uses the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), to assess the level of adoption, anticipated risks and challenges. The study used the mixed research design with a qualitative embedded design. The study collected data from 100 respondents obtained through convenient sampling approach. Respondents were sampled from BOT and Commercial banks based in Dar Es Salaam, Cryptocurrency traders among others.  Data were analysed by the use of descriptive (quantitative data) and content analysis (qualitative data). Findings reveal that, the rate and intention of adopting cryptocurrency is very low because of ICT related challenges. It was further revealed that in Tanzania, volatility of the currency, security problems and awareness among customers are anticipated challenges. Moreover, it was revealed that because of regulatory landscape and its connection to security threats the public considers cryptocurrency to have several challenges. The study concludes that the rate and intention to adopt cryptocurrency is still low in Tanzania and recommends the government and other financial institutions in the financial sector to set facilitating environment for cryptocurrency because it is a technology that is taking over in the finance sector in the near future.

TESTIMONIAL NARRATIVE OF THE UNSPEAKABLE CRIMES IN NADIA MURAD’S THE LAST GIRL
Authors: Rashid KHALEEL INtisar , Ali Abbas JUMAAH Saif
Published: October 2023

Trauma is an unpleasant experience suffered by an individual and or a group of individuals collectively. It is a life-changing event that leaves physical and psychological scars that could influence both explicit and implicit memories in the conscious and subconscious mind. Therefore, traumatic events can occur when previous memories haunt the present state of mind through flashbacks, nightmares, hallucinations, disorders, and other means. As a result, the suppressed ghost of the past conjures up mental imagery of locations, people, and items associated with the heinous crime. While some individuals are locked in their traumatic experiences, others may integrate and release them via narration and testimony stories. This is important in making the wound visible and the silence audible. Therefore, as Nadia Murad demonstrated, literature deals with trauma and constructs a bridge of communal solidarity amongst people who share the same society or culture by exposing hideous crimes. The book by Nadia Murad and the co-writer Jenna Krajeski, The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity and Resistance to the Islamic State (2017), focuses on ISIS sexual assaulters of their Yazidi victims and women’s aspirations for reparative and restorative justice. Between 2014 and 2015, Nadia Murad, the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize winner, was imprisoned in sexual slavery. Nadia’s historical testimony gave details of the crimes that the ISIS members perpetrated against her and her determination to prosecute them. The study argues that the Yazidi women’s brave decision to come forward assisted rape survivors in breaking the women’s generational silence. They significantly recalled their people’s collective traumatized memory to heal the wounds through verbalizing suffering and testimonial narratives. The author-personal narrator’s experiences with injustices had been investigated using a mix of autobiography biography, memoir, History, and testimony, and also how the testimonial narrative aids in the act of speaking out against crimes; by giving voice to the silent agony

Published: October 2023

The construction of tall buildings in urban areas has grown in number in recent years. However, architects and engineers face a variety of design challenges due to the variety of heights and shapes of new building designs. This study evaluates the impact of shape mitigation on tall buildings by applying corner modifications, such as chamfered, corner cut, plan changes with height, tapered, and setback, and combining a single modification model. The numerical simulations were carried out using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation with the RNG k-ε type of turbulence model. All single modifications reduced the maximum +Cp and -Cp better than the basic model. The corner-cut model was the most effective method for reducing the suction effect. Combining the setback, chamfering the corner, and twisting the building model at 45° modification was the most effective approach to reduce the maximum +Cp in the 25–42.10% range in Face 1. Modifying a square model with the combination of setback, chamfer, and 45° rotation reduced the maximum -Cp, ranging from 36.9–50%. The composite 1 model and composite 2 model reduced the suction effect in the range of 15.38–33.33% in Face 3. The adoption of composite modification was insignificant in reducing the suction effect on the sidewall, where the maximum -Cp was recorded to be between 3.62–5.43%.

The Teabowl
Authors: Kemske Bonnie
Published: October 2023

A complete history of the tea ceremony and teabowls with beautiful pieces from international potters.

The teabowl has become an iconic form in contemporary ceramics. Having travelled from Japan, where it was an inherent part of chanoyu, or tea ceremony, it has evolved and adapted to become something very different in the West.

Revered for its associations of its past and its connotations of sophistication and simplicity, the teabowl enjoys an elevated status. Here, Bonnie Kemske looks at the form as a whole, considering the history and ideas behind the original tea ceremony: how it moved into contemporary ceramics, and the way it is used today. She explores the wide range of teabowls, from traditional ones to those being made not for the tearoom but for the gallery, as well as introducing the international potters making them.

The book also tackles some difficult questions, notably, how has the concept of the teabowl changed as it has been reinvented in contemporary ceramics? How does it sit in relation to its history? This book is wide in scope, thorough in detail and essential reading for anyone involved in making or using these tactile objects.

Economic feasibility of catalytic cracking of polymer waste for fuel production
Authors: Silva Luís Roberto Cavalcanti da , Souza Thibério Pinho Costa
Published: October 2023

Plastic waste represents a major environmental concern, as it does not degrade in the environment and is constantly discarded. The types of polymers most used in the world are polyethylene and polypropylene, mainly for the production of packaging and, therefore, are the most discarded plastic waste in the environment. Some efforts are being applied to mitigate this situation, such as mechanical recycling, which transforms plastic waste into other products. But polymer cracking processes are promising alternatives, converting waste into lightweight materials that can be turned into commercial fuels. However, to be viable, these processes must consume as little resources as possible and, for this, feasibility experiments must be carried out to prove their application on a large scale and in small transformation units. This work presents a methodology for assembling a low-cost pyrolysis reactor to carry out the cracking of polymeric residues, and experiments were carried out with it, whose results showed the technical and economic viability of the described process, obtaining a rate of conversion of plastic into fuels of up to 96%, so it can be widely applied to reduce impacts caused by plastic disposal.
Occurrence frequency of subcritical Richardson numbers assessed by global high-resolution radiosonde and ERA5 reanalysis
Authors: Shao Jia , Zhang Jian , Wang Wuke , Zhang Shaodong , Yu Tao , Dong Wenjun
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI) is most likely to be the
primary source for clear-air turbulence, which is of importance in pollution
transfer and diffusion and aircraft safety. It is indicated by the critical
value of the dimensionless Richardson (Ri) number, which is predicted to be
1/4 from linear stability analysis. However, Ri is fairly sensitive to the
vertical resolution of the dataset; a higher resolution systematically leads
to a finer structure. The study aims to evaluate the performance of ERA5
reanalysis in determining the spatial–temporal variabilities in subcritical
Ri by comparing it against a near-global high-resolution radiosonde dataset
during the years 2017 to 2022 and further highlights the global climatology and
dynamical environment of subcritical Ri. Overall, the occurrence frequency of
Ri<1/4 is inevitably underestimated by the ERA5 reanalysis over all
climate zones at all heights from the near-ground atmosphere up to 30 km,
compared to radiosonde, due directly to the severe underestimation in wind
shears. Otherwise, the occurrence frequency of Ri<1 in ERA5 is
climatologically consistent with that from Ri<1/4 in radiosondes in
the free troposphere, especially over the midlatitude and subtropics in the
Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, we argue that the threshold value of
Ri could be approximated as 1 rather than 1/4 when using ERA5-based Ri as a
proxy for KHI. The occurrence frequency of subcritical Ri revealed by both
datasets exhibits significant seasonal cycles over all climate zones. In
addition, it is positively correlated with the standard derivation of
orography at low levels and is exceptionally strong over the Niño-3
region at heights of 6–13 km. Furthermore, a high occurrence of subcritical
Ri would likely be accompanied by strong wind speeds and intensive orographic
or non-orographic gravity waves.
A two-way coupled regional urban–street network air quality model system for Beijing, China
Authors: Wang Tao , Liu Hang , Li Jie , Wang Shuai , Kim Youngseob , Sun Yele , Yang Wenyi , Du Huiyun , Wang Zhe , Wang Zifa
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Owing to the substantial traffic emissions in urban areas, especially near road areas, the concentrations of pollutants, such as ozone (O3) and its precursors, have a large difference compared to regional averages, and their distributions cannot be captured accurately by traditional single-scale air quality models. In this study, a new version of a regional urban–street network model (an Integrated Air Quality Modeling System coupling regional urban–street: IAQMS-street v2.0) is presented. An upscaling module is implemented in IAQMS-street v2.0 to calculate the impact of mass transfer to regional scale from street network. The influence of pollutants in the street network is considered in the concentration calculation on the regional scale, which is not considered in a previous version (IAQMS-street v1.0). In this study, the simulated results in Beijing during August 2021, using IAQMS-street v2.0, IAQMS-street v1.0, and the regional model (Nested Air Quality Prediction Modeling System, NAQPMS), are compared. On-road traffic emissions in Beijing, as the key model input data, were established using intelligent image-recognition technology and real-time traffic big data from navigation applications. The simulated results showed that the O3 and nitrogen oxide (NOx) concentrations in Beijing were reproduced by using IAQMS-street v2.0 on both the regional scale and street scale. The prediction fractions within a factor of 2 (FAC2s) between simulations and observations of NO and NO2 increased from 0.11 and 0.34 in NAQPMS to 0.78 and 1.00 in IAQMS-street v2.0, respectively. The normalized mean biases (NMBs) of NO and NO2 decreased from 2.67 and 1.33 to −0.25 and 0.08. In the coupled model, the concentration of NOx at the street scale is higher than that at the regional scale, and the simulated distribution of pollutants on a regional scale was improved in IAQMS-street v2.0 when compared with that in IAQMS-street v1.0. We further used IAQMS-street v2.0 to quantify the contribution of local on-road traffic emissions to the O3 and NOx emissions and analyze the effect of traffic regulation policies in Beijing. Results showed that heavy-duty trucks are the major source of on-road traffic emissions of NOx. The relative contributions of local traffic emissions to NO2, NO, and O3 concentrations were 53.41 %, 57.45 %, and 8.49 %, respectively. We found that traffic regulation policies in Beijing largely decreased the concentrations of NOx and hydrocarbons (HC); however, the O3 concentration near the road increased due to the decrease consumption of O3 by NO. To decrease the O3 concentration in urban areas, controlling the local emissions of HC and NOx from other sources requires consideration.

Published: October 2023

Abstract. We demonstrate that LFRic-Atmosphere, a model built using the Met Office's GungHo dynamical core, is able to reproduce idealised large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns specified by several widely used benchmark recipes.
This is motivated by the rapid rate of exoplanet discovery and the ever-growing need for numerical modelling and characterisation of their atmospheres.
Here we present LFRic-Atmosphere's results for the idealised tests imitating circulation regimes commonly used in the exoplanet modelling community.
The benchmarks include three analytic forcing cases: the standard Held–Suarez test, the Menou–Rauscher Earth-like test, and the Merlis–Schneider tidally locked Earth test.
Qualitatively, LFRic-Atmosphere agrees well with other numerical models and shows excellent conservation properties in terms of total mass, angular momentum, and kinetic energy.
We then use LFRic-Atmosphere with a more realistic representation of physical processes (radiation, subgrid-scale mixing, convection, clouds) by configuring it for the four TRAPPIST-1 Habitable Atmosphere Intercomparison (THAI) scenarios.
This is the first application of LFRic-Atmosphere to a possible climate of a confirmed terrestrial exoplanet.
LFRic-Atmosphere reproduces the THAI scenarios within the spread of the existing models across a range of key climatic variables.
Our work shows that LFRic-Atmosphere performs well in the seven benchmark tests for terrestrial atmospheres, justifying its use in future exoplanet climate studies.
A new seismicity catalogue of the eastern Alps using the temporary Swath-D network
Authors: Hofman Laurens Jan , Kummerow Jörn , Cesca Simone ,   the AlpArray–Swath-D Working Group
Published: October 2023

Abstract. We present a new, consistently processed seismicity catalogue for the eastern and southern Alps based on the temporary dense Swath-D monitoring network.
The final catalogue contains 6053 earthquakes for the time period
2017–2019 and has a magnitude of completeness of −1.0 ML. The smallest detected and located events have a magnitude of −1.7 ML. Aimed at the low to moderate seismicity in the study region, we have developed a multi-stage, mostly automatic workflow that combines a priori information from local catalogues and waveform-based event detection, subsequent efficient GPU-based (GPU: graphics processing unit) event search by template matching, P and S arrival time pick refinement, and location in a regional 3-D velocity model. The resulting seismicity distribution generally confirms the previously identified main seismically active domains but provides increased resolution of the fault activity at depth.
In particular, the high number of small events additionally detected by the template search contributes to a denser catalogue and provides an important basis for future geological and tectonic studies in this complex part of the Alpine orogen.

Sürdürülebilir yaşamın yeni bir paradigmasını oluşturan minimalizm sadece ihtiyaçlara indirgeme, tekrarları ve israfı ortadan kaldırma ve hayatta saf ve gerçek olanı kucaklama düşüncesini taşıyan bir öğreti değil, aynı zamanda satın alma kararının başlangıcından elden çıkarma davranışının sonuna kadar bir tüketim sürecinin geniş yelpazesini kucaklayan bütünsel bir yaşam tarzıdır. Kişiler, günlerinin önemli bir kısmını işyerlerinde geçirdikleri için, minimalistler değer verdikleri ilkeleri orada da uygulamak isterler. İşin kişiden kişiye ne kadar çeşitlilik gösterebileceği göz önüne alınırsa, işyerinde minimalizmi uygulamanın tek bir yolunun olmadığı söylenebilir. Bu yüzden de işyerinde minimalizme dair farklı araştırmacılarca farklı yollar önerilmektedir. Bu çalışma, son yıllarda tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan bir akım olan, ancak henüz bilimsel söyleme aktarılmamış olan işyerinde minimalizm konusu üzerine bir değerlendirme yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Literatürde işyerinde minimalizmin nasıl uygulanacağı konusunda yapılan çalışmaları derleyen ve analiz eden bir çalışma olmaması bu araştırmayı özgün kılan bir nitelik olarak değerlendirilirse, bu çalışmanın literatüre katkısı, bu konuda hem ulusal düzeyde hem de uluslararası düzeyde yayınlarda derinlemesine bir taramayı içeriyor olmasıdır.

One of the urgent problems of the agricultural industry in Kazakhstan is the low yield of oilseeds, depending on various factors. The primary factor is the vulnerability of sunflower seeds to different phytopathogens and pests. Diseases develop during almost the entire growing season, starting from the moment of seed germination. In order to avoid mass infection, a large number of fungicides are used, which requires additional financial costs and, on the other hand, worsens the ecological state of the environment, also contradicts the principles of organic farming. In this regard, much attention of researchers is attracted by the development of new technologies for pre-sowing treatment of agricultural seeds, which provide: improving the sowing qualities of seeds, stimulating the physiological and biochemical processes of growth also development of seedlings, reducing the consumption of seed material and increasing the resistance of seedlings to pathogenic microorganisms. Encapsulation or drageeing of seeds solves the problem of their morbidity and death under adverse soil-climatic also extreme conditions of cultivation. Of particular relevance are the tasks of insecticidal and fungicidal activity of encapsulation, the solution of which would increase crop yields by including in its composition the substances necessary for active plant growth (growth regulators, microelements, drugs against fungal diseases). The high cost of the constituent components of polymer shells is noted and, accordingly, the actual problem is to find methods to reduce their cost.

This work is devoted to the selection of the optimal encapsulating composition from gelatin (G) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), in a combination of fungicides “Maxim” and “Kruizer” to obtain an encapsulating composition of sunflower seeds.

An important technological solution for plastic pollution is the replacement of traditional biodegradable polymers, biodegradable polymer materials with physico-mechanical properties that cause environmental pollution. An urgent problem is the search for ways to reduce the self-decomposition of biopolymers and waste, as well as to reduce the cost of such materials, including the use for these purposes of substances that can be analogues of biodegradable polymers. The research work is aimed at obtaining a biodegradable biopolymer based on starch raw materials in the presence of various organic acids (citric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid) and plasticizers (glycerin, polyvinyl alcohol, nanomaterial). An effective material was selected from the products obtained from various acids and plasticizers. Measures to improve the technology of bioplastics production are considered. A durable and economical biopolymer capable of processing and biodegrading biological waste, including starch-containing garbage, has been obtained. The resulting products have successfully passed all physico-chemical tests and are ready for mass production. A scanning electron microscope and thermogravimetric analysis with IR spectroscopy were used to study the physicochemical parameters of the obtained biopolymers.

Stakeholders perception on Institutional Social Responsibility: A Study of Higher Educational Institutions
Authors: A J Geetha
Published: October 2023

The educational institutions are not confined to mere imparting the knowledge and training students following the industry need. The meaning of education encompasses a wider meaning in it. Hence; Institutional Social Responsibility is a term that is gaining prominence in recent years. Due to competition among educational institutions, there is pressure on educational institutions to establish their image through a cordial relationship with the stakeholders. A normal way of connecting with the stakeholders is discharging social responsibility practices. The existing situation and policy guidelines put pressure on educational institutions to involve in such activities and thereby enhance their visibility. However, the perceptions of stakeholders of educational institutions on Institutional social responsibility are not well discussed and researched. So this paper tries to find out the stakeholders' perception on institutional social responsibility practiced by the educational institutions.
SAFETY OF MISOPROSTOL IN SECOND TRIMESTER MISCARRIAGES IN PATIENTS WITH PREVIOUS UTERINE SCARS
Authors: Sabir Samina Aliya , Shahida Sultan
Published: October 2023

Objective: To assess the safety of Misoprostol in mid-trimester miscarriages in patients with previous scars.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional comparative study conducted in the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Lady Reading Hospital, from January 2021 to December 2021. Two-hundred patients with second-trimester miscarriages were included in the study. They were divided into two groups, 100 patients with no previous scar as the control group and another 100 patients with a previous scar as the study group. Patients having an incomplete abortion, gestational trophoblastic disease, and more than one scar were excluded from the study. Misoprostol doses were kept vaginally in both groups. The doses were kept according to the gestational period of 13 to 24 weeks following the local protocol which was comparable with the FIGO protocol. Data analysis was done using SPSS-24.
Results: The Demographic features of patients of the two groups, were comparable for maternal Age (26±5.3 Years versus 25±4.9 years), Gestational Age in weeks of (18±1.3 weeks versus117±1.6 weeks) Gravidity (4.5±1.6 versus 4.9±1.2) and of Parity (3.4 ±1.4 versus 3.6 ±1.1) which showed no significant difference with respect to age, parity and gestational age. The period needed for successful TOP was 18 hours in the control group whereas it was 36 hours in the scarred uterus with half doses. Successful termination was observed in 61% of the study group with the scared uterus and 72% in the control group.
Conclusion: Our study concluded that misoprostol is safe and effective in the termination of second-trimester miscarriages with a scarred uterus.
Keywords: Misoprostol, Miscarriage, Previous Uterine Scar

Published: October 2023

Objective: To find the efficacy of prophylactic tranexamic acid and Oxytocin in preventing postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section as compared to uterotonic alone.
Materials and Methods: A  randomized clinical trial that was single-center, double-blind placebo-controlled was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Khyber Teaching Hospital, between 1st July 2021 to 31st December 2021. A total of 280 patients undergoing cesarean section were randomized to group A receiving tranexamic acid and uterotonic (oxytocin) and control group B having placebo and uterotonic(oxytocin) within three minutes of delivery of the baby. Blood loss after the cesarean section was calculated from blood volume and pre and post-operative hematocrit. The main outcome of the study was to establish the efficacy of tranexamic acid in decreasing the number of women with calculated estimated blood loss> 1000 ml. Secondary outcomes included differences in mean calculated blood loss, peripartum change in hematocrit, and postoperative blood transfusion in both groups. Data was analyzed by statistical package for social sciences(SPSS) version 23.0. Mean and standard deviation were calculated for numerical data and percentages, and frequencies for categorical variables. To see the effects of modifiers, post stratified t-test was used. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Both the groups were comparable for maternal age (28.4±4.5, 28.8±4.9) gestational age (37.71±1.61, 37.70±1.56), and parity (1.79±1.5, 2±1.6). Tranexamic acid significantly reduced the number of women with estimated calculated blood loss of > 1000 ml in group A to 10%(n=14) as compared to 18.6%(n=26) in group B (p-value<0.005). Secondary outcomes like mean calculated blood loss and postoperative blood transfusion were statistically insignificant between the two groups.
Conclusion: Pregnant women who received prophylactic uterotonic agents and tranexamic acid treatment within three minutes of cesarean delivery, resulted in a lesser number of women with calculated estimated blood loss > 1000 ml than placebo.

Authors: Dong Jun , Liu Lihui
Published: October 2023

The author intends to do a comprehensive analysis and examination of Mr. Te Wei's notable animation works, including "Tadpole Looking for Mother," "Pastoral Flute," "Landscape," "Proud General," and several more. To commence, this analysis will begin by examining the works of Mr. Te Wei and their significance as a foundation for understanding. Subsequently, the locations within Mr. Te Wei's works that hold educational value will be scrutinised, leading to the formulation of the research's objective. This text elucidates the comprehensive process of Mr. Te Wei's creative cognition, effectively conveying a denouement that is both comical and dramatic. In contemporary culture, the intensification of labour and the pace of life have contributed to an increasing burden on individuals. Notably, a considerable number of Chinese animations have excessively emulated Japanese animations, therefore neglecting the distinctive cultural attributes of our own nation. Hence, this article endeavours to systematically expound upon the artistic style and expressive techniques of Mr. Te Wei, a renowned figure in Chinese animation, by analysing representative works such as "Shepherd's Flute" and "Landscape". The aim is to cultivate the audience's appreciation for Mr. Te Wei's creations and enhance their comprehension of his artistic expression. The artistic expression exhibited by Mr. Te Wei, a prominent figure in Chinese animation, has the potential to evoke inspiration and contemplation among viewers. Specifically, his work prompts reflection on the dearth of humour within contemporary society and the absence of national cultural elements in the realm of animation.
