Abstract: Objective: No Decisions are good or bed they are taken based on the available data. It is very much essential to represent the data in the right form to the right people and at the right time. Higher Engineering Institutes (HEI) is having a plethora of information available to them. Most of the available data are not used properly and remain just as dead storage. Methods: In this study, we have shown the importance of data visualization using a case study on Coursera review dataset. Different useful tools that support improving an Education System are summarized. Sentiment analysis is performed for coursera course review dataset using deep learning method. At the end, dashboard is also created to visualize student data using powerBI tool. Results: Uses of different visualization tools can help to improve the education system and its performance. The Sentiment expressed by students will help to improve the teaching-learning process and research contribution significantly as they are the major components for evaluation when any HEI wants to receive NAAC [National Assessment and Accreditation Council] approval for benefitting all stakeholders of the HEI. Conclusions: Proper analysis of available data and their proper visualization can help us to improve the education system to a great extent in terms of improving the most important factors like student teaching- learning and their placement to make their future bright. Students expressed sentiments are also key features to analyze the success of the teachinglearning process for both teachers and students as well. We have also used our institute students' data to generate a dashboard that contains student information from a different perspective that can help higher authorities to make better fruitful decisions.

Abstract : The main aim of Engineering education is to impart intellectual development and promote technical skills to engineering students. Teaching methodology plays a major role in the teachinglearning process. The basic goal of engineering students is to nurture knowledge in the relevant areas. Engineering education is technology-oriented; the learners should apply his/her knowledge to a specific application. To develop their technical skills, the students should identify suitable learning styles for their potentialities. The proper teaching methodology is a key point to success in engineering education. The industry expects the students to be high-quality engineers and industry-ready after completing their courses. Due to lagging in technical training and syllabus provided by the university doesn't match with the real- time industry projects. To achieve these outcomes technical-based activity needs to be enhanced in engineering education. In this paper, we proposed a Tool Based Technical Activity (TBTA) teaching method that converges traditional teaching methods which improve the student's attention in learning. Students' feedback with TBTA improves students' learning, communication, technical skills, and knowledge.

TÜRKİYE’DE PARA İKAMESİ SÜRECİ VE HİPERENFLASYONİST DİNAMİKLER: EKONOMETRİK BİR ANALİZ
Authors: TUNAY K. Batu
Published: November 2022

Türkiye uzun bir fiyat istikrarı sürecinin ardından yeniden enflasyonist baskılar yaşamaya başlamıştır. 2017 sonrasında giderek artan enflasyon oranları nedeniyle para ikamesi süreci hız kazanmıştır. Son dönemde yaşanan kur şokları ulusal paradan kaçışı artırmış, ekonomik birimlerin hem yabancı paraya hem de tüketime yönelik talepleri yükselmiştir. Söz konusu gelişmeler, güçlenen enflasyonist baskıların bir hiperenflasyona evrilme olasılığının sorgulanmasına yol açmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de hiperenflasyonist dinamiklerin ekonometrik olarak analiz edilmesidir. Moosa’nın (2000) 1920’lerdeki Alman hiperenflasyonunu analiz etmek için geliştirdiği model Türkiye’ye uyarlanmıştır. Türkiye için yapılan parametre tahminleri, orijinal modelinkilerle karşılaştırılmış ve ulusal paranın değer ölçme ve saklama işlevlerinin zayıfladığı belirlenmiştir. Para arzındaki değişimin kurlar üzerinde güçlü bir etkisi olduğu da görülmüştür. Bu bulgular, para politikalarının etkinliğinin düştüğünü ve enflasyonist sürecin daha da şiddetlenebileceğini göstermektedir.
THE RIGHT-WING IN THE OPTICS OF REPRESENTATIONS BY SERGEI WITTE
Authors:   Perm State University, Verevkina I. N.
Published: November 2022

The article examines the opinions of Sergei Witte, one of the first Russian public politicians and one of the most powerful bureaucrats of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries on the use of right-wing political forces and the right-wing press in constructing his own image of a statesman. The memoirs of Sergei Witte and his contemporaries as well as unpublished documents from the Russian State Historical Archive (RGIA) and Russian State Archive Literature and Art (RGALI) and periodical press materials constitute the source basis for the research. The interdisciplinary research paradigm of the performative turn along with the approaches of the new political history is used as the methodological basis of the research. The author analyzes Witte's relations with right-wing political forces (including moderate conservatives and right-wing radicals) in a historical retrospective: from his public service in Kyiv to the death of a retired official. The images of Sergei Witte, constructed in the Black Hundred press, are investigated, the elements and main characteristics of the image of the “enemy” are determined. The nuances of Witte's relations with the Black Hundreds are studied, and the images of right-wing radicals in his memoirs are analyzed. Attention is paid to the use of “phobias” that were actively spread during the 1905 revolution in “demonizing” the image of the “enemy”. The final part of the article draws conclusions about how both Witte and right-wing radicals used the demonized images of each other in the struggle for their own reputation and justification of their political behavior.
LENIN AS A “SITE OF MEMORY” OF POST-SOVIET RUSSIA. MEMORY ABOUT POLITICS AND MEMORY ABOUT THE MEMORIAL PROJECT

The article discusses the history of the communist memorial project, with Vladimir Lenin at its core. A theoretical framework is based on the concepts by Pierre Nora (‘sites of memory’) and Jan Assmann (‘cultural memory’ and ‘communicative memory’). The data sources are public opinion polls, transcripts of state officials' speeches, media coverage, and expert interviews conducted by the authors themselves. The cult of Lenin, which was important for the formation of Soviet identity, was sometimes an outcome of conflicts and compromises, employed in the most unpredictable ways. Opponents and open adversaries of the communists indirectly participated in its construction. The authors offer their explanations for the fact that today the memory of both Lenin and the Revolution is not perceived as a viable resource by any prominent political actor in Russia. Contemporary Russian society is divided in assessing Lenin's historical role, but the majotiry of citizens oppose the dismantling of the Soviet memorial project. The memory of Lenin is associated not with historical events, but with the Soviet memorial project instead. The “anti-revolutionary consensus” also influences attitudes towards this memorial project: the majority of Russians reject the revolution as a country’s prospect, they also reject symbolic politics regarded as revolutionary. This also blocks the radical dismantling of the Soviet memorial project. Lenin and the 100-year-old revolutionary events do not evoke vivid and strong emotions, unlike memories of repressions or the Great Patriotic War.
THE PALETTE OF MEMORY SITES OF POLITICAL REPRESSIONS: MONUMENTS AND COUNTER-MONUMENTS

The authors propose a typology of sites of memory of political repressions that took place in different periods of Russian history, which emerged under the influence of a set of historical, social and cultural factors. The purpose of the study is to trace the logic of the formation of specific types of monuments, including those existing in the form of the so-called counter-monuments, in the process of implementing the politics of memory and formulating ideas about the traumatic past. The authors used the chronotopic method of examining sites of memory in a number of regions of Russia, such as the memorial complex Perm-36, multiple sites of commemoration at the Bolshoy Solovetsky Island, places of memory at the Rybinsk water reservoir, the Butovo polygon, memorial objects in the Saratov region, and the Republic of Mordovia, architectural constructions in the Russian Far East, etc. Theoretically, the research is rooted in the concept of “memory sites” proposed by Pierre Nora and understood as a combination of material and spiritual elements of culture that carry a symbolic load associated with understanding the social past. The authors demonstrate the presence of several types of memorial sites. It turned out that in the Russian domain of memory about the political repressions there are no sites that meet the criteria of a traditional monument. Conditionally traditional monuments can be territorially localized (solitary or complex) or dispersed (standard or heterogeneous). The second type of monuments is defined as hybrid, including vernacular, alternative and palimpsest varieties. Vernacular monuments are determined by their agents of construction, while the alternative ones are associated with specific interpretations of the past and can be supplemented with new constructive elements in the course of existence, palimpsests imply the explicit or hidden presence of many symbolically loaded layers. Counter-monuments constitute a special type represented by walking, landscape, ecological, and disappearing monuments. They are characterized as performative and participatory. The presence of different types of monuments proves not so much the absence of a unified strategy of commemoration in Russian society, but rather the fact that multiple social groups participate in the process of commemoration, producing heterogeneous and polyphonic monuments.

Large-scale transformations in social sciences and the Humanities in the 1960 and 1970s (such as the emergence of cultural studies, memory studies, postcolonial studies and gender studies, public history, etc.) influenced the formation of heritage studies in the 1980s. Within the framework of this field, the concept of heritage has been substantially revised: it began to cover the sphere of the ordinary and everyday; its temporal boundaries have changed, so the objects related to the recent past began to be considered as heritage; the idea of de-monopolization of state experts in determining heritage was proposed. In the 2000s, a separate area of critical heritage studies emerged within heritage studies. Its purpose was to study the discursive practices of defining and using heritage, used primarily by the state and international institutions (the so-called “authorized heritage discourse”, AHD, proposed by a theorist Laurajane Smith); as well as the problematization of heritage as a process of constant rethinking and redefining of identities and cultural values, which involves different social groups, communities and agents. The paper examines the transformation of the understanding of heritage-as-an-object into heritage as a social action and heritage-as-process discussed in heritage studies and critical heritage studies in European countries. It presents an overview of the key stages of their development and subsequent changes, the main research issues and problems, as well as their current debates.
PUBLIC HISTORY “IN A SOVIET WAY”. REGIONAL BRANCHES OF THE ALL-RUSSIAN SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL MONUMENTS: “BUREAUCRATIC RULES OF THE GAME” AND HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL AC-TIVISM

Published: November 2022

The idea of searching for a local identity through the study of the culture and history of a place acquired a special scope in the 1960s and 1970s in many countries of the world. During this period, the emergence of public history, local history, microhistory, and oral history has radically changed academic history. The Soviet Union did not stand aside. Here, the traditions of historical and cultural activism were closely tied with the local lore movement (or kraevedenie), rooted in the pre-revolutionary period. To some extent, the traditions of local lore movement in the Soviet Union developed in parallel with public history. Local lore initiatives were restored after their temporary suppression in Stalin's time, movements were created to preserve historical and cultural monuments. Many noted scientists, culturologists, publicists and even Communist Party officials were speaking about traditions and preservation of regional culture. In the 1960s – 1980s, millions of Soviet citizens were included in the activities of the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Monuments of History and Culture (Vserossiyskoe Obshhestvo Ohrany Pamyatnikov Istorii i Kul'tury, or VOOPIK) and search movements for the study and preservation of places of revolutionary, military and labor glory. This research analyzes their activities, on the basis of archival documents of VOOPIK, as well as memoires, official reports and oral interviews of movement activists. Moreover, the question is raised about the possibility of inscribing public history in a longer and larger context. The author analyzes the “letters to the government” from ordinary Soviet citizens as an example of historical and cultural activism. A study of the use of public spaces in Soviet Russia could help us join the broad discussion about Soviet Union and its relation to the world. Was it really a unique, isolated project, unlike the rest of the world community, or a part of this community with similar processes and cultural code?

Published: November 2022

Zooplankton play a key role in marine food webs and carbon cycling and are useful indicators of climaterelated changes and ocean health in pelagic ecosystems. Zooplankton are traditionally identified to species through microscopy, but new molecular techniques have enabled the identification of individual specimens (DNA barcoding) or multiple species in the same sample (DNA metabarcoding). Metabarcoding has been tested and refined using zooplankton collected in South African waters for the first time. Challenges to the implementation of DNA-based methods to measure zooplankton biodiversity easily and routinely include an incomplete DNA barcode reference library, logistical complexity and uptake of the new technology by environmental management agencies. These challenges call for a national effort to intensify zooplankton barcoding initiatives and to effectively engage stakeholders in developing a roadmap towards application of DNA-based methods in marine environmental management.
Significance:

Metabarcoding has been successfully applied to marine zooplankton for the first time in South Africa, demonstrating its potential as a tool to generate ecosystem indicators during routine ocean observations.
National barcoding efforts must be intensified to provide a comprehensive reference library of zooplankton DNA.
Effective engagement with stakeholders is required to overcome logistical and policy challenges, and to provide a roadmap towards application of DNA-based methods in marine environmental management.
Health in a post-COVID-19 world
Authors: Benatar Solomon R.
Published: November 2022

In the previous article in this issue (S Afr J Sci. 2022;118(11/12), Art. #13165), the emergence and spread of COVID-19 pari passu with climate change and planetary degradation were interpreted as late manifestations in the trend towards gradual decline into disorder (entropy) in an unstable and ecologically threatened planet. In this article, as we contemplate a post-COVID world, the question is whether new insights could generate courageous, prescient leadership towards new paradigms of health, politics, economics, society, and our relationship with nature. A gloomy prognosis is postulated because of the power of many impediments to such changes, both in an increasingly polarised world and in South Africa as a microcosm. Despite many squandered opportunities and a decline in local and global cooperation between all who have a stake in the future, some hope is retained for innovative shifts towards sustainable futures.
Significance:
Precarious local and global instabilities are vivid reminders of our interconnectedness with each other and with nature. Insights into local and global threats and opportunities, call for paradigm shifts in thinking about and taking action towards a potentially sustainable future in a country that has its own unique history and problems but is also a microcosm of the world. The impediments to making appropriately constructive paradigm shifts in many countries with their tendencies to authoritarianism that threaten peace and democracy, are even more complex in South Africa, where opportunities for dialogue and cooperation are diminishing. Retaining some hope, with vision and courage for innovative shifts towards a sustainable economic/ecological paradigm locally and globally, is arguably essential.
MIGRAINE AND CURRENT DIET APPROACHES
Authors: EKİNOĞLU Ezgi , SEMERCİ Ceren
Published: November 2022

Migraine is one of the oldest diseases known in history and is a chronic disease characterized by episodic, severe, throbbing headaches mostly accompanied by sensory, autonomic and motor disorders. In the burden of disease and disability studies conducted by WHO, it was ranked 19th in the world in 2000 and rose to the 2nd place in 2020. Factors such as hunger, alcohol and tobacco use, loud noise, insomnia, bright light, sharp smells trigger migraine. In addition to these, nutrition also has a significant effect on migraine. Exposure of some nutrients and deprivation of others can cause migraine attacks. There are studies in the literature in which different dietary approaches are applied for the treatment of migraine. Nutritional models such as elimination diets, vegetarian/vegan diet, ketogenic diet, low-fat diet, Mediterranean diet are among the approaches used in treatment. The most commonly used of these diets are elimination diets. Elimination diets require the identification of provocative dietary components and then their removal from the diet. Elimination diets used for migraine are generally based on the elimination of gluten, lactose and casein from the diet. However, there is no clear nutritional protocol that will positively affect the prognosis in the treatment of migraine. For this reason, an individualized approach should be adopted in order to determine the trigger nutritional elements, in which the individual experiences severe headache when exposed to a nutritional trigger, in which these foods are removed from the diet. In conclusion, more studies needed on dietary approaches to benefit migraine.

Published: November 2022

The incidence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and gestational diabetes has also increased with the increase in obesity. Gestational diabetes can cause various complications during pregnancy that can adversely affect birth, mother and baby. The Mediterranean diet both reduces the risk of developing gestational diabetes and is efficient in regulating glycemia after gestational diabetes has occurred. Aim: In this study, we aimed to review the literature regarding the role of the Mediterranean diet in gestational diabetes. Material and Method: This review contains current information about Gestational Diabetes and the Mediterranean diet. In the research, a literature search was performed using databases such as Science Direct and PubMed. Current and comprehensive data were used to collect this research. Results: Many studies have indicated that the Mediterranean diet is the healthiest diet model in the world. It has been proven that it reduces the risk of preterm birth, prevents the formation of gestational diabetes and is effective in glycemic regulation. Conclusion: All expectant mothers and pregnant women at risk of developing gestational diabetes should be encouraged to adopt the Mediterranean diet because of its effects during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as the long-term health benefits of mothers and babies.

Published: November 2022

Let LWPC denote the identity (xy · x) · xz = x((yx · x)z), and RWPC the mirror identity. Phillips proved that a loop satisfies LWPC and RWPC if and only if it is a WIP PACC loop. Here, it is proved that a loop Q fulfils LWPC if and only if it is a left conjugacy closed (LCC) loop that fulfils the identity (xy · x)x = x(yx · x). Similarly, RWPC is equivalent to RCC and x(x · yx) = (x · xy)x. If a loop satisfies LWPC or RWPC, then it is power associative (PA). The smallest nonassociative LWPC-loop was found to be unique and of order 6 while there are exactly 6 nonassociative LWPC-loops of order 8 up to isomorphism. Methods of construction of nonassociative LWPC-loops were developed.
Extension of the Obligation to Report a Conflict of Interest on Members of Election Commissions
Authors: Akunchenko E. A. , Damm I. A. , Ronzhina O. V.
Published: November 2022

Prevention and settlement of conflicts of interest performs an important function in the anti-corruption system, since it reduces the risk of committing various acts of corruption, which are based on the illegal use of the advantages of official (service) position or public status. Despite a high preventive potential of the obligation to notify about a conflict of interests, this anti-corruption standard of conduct does not apply to such a category of subjects of the electoral process as members of election commissions with the right to vote working not permanently in the relevant commission. In order to unify anti-corruption standards, the authors substantiate the need to eliminate contradictions between provisions of Part 4.1 of Article 12.1 of the Federal Law «On Combating Corruption» and paragraphs 15.3, 15.4 of Article 29 of the Federal Law «On Basic Safeguards of Electoral Rights and the Right to Participate in a Referendum of Citizens of the Russian Federation» by extending the obligation to notify of a conflict of interest and applying it all members of election commissions with the right to vote regardless of the reason of position replacement.
Responsibility for Infringement of Exclusive Rights to Cumulatively Protected Results of Intellectual Activity
Authors: Koroleva A. G.
Published: November 2022

The paper analyzes the problems of multiplication of responsibility for infringing exclusive rights to the results of intellectual activity protected under several legal regimes. Special attention is paid to the issues of collecting compensation for the violation of exclusive rights to design solutions that can be treated as copyrighted works, industrial designs, trademarks. The author examines the stances developed by the domestic doctrine and law enforcement practice, as well as foreign approaches to solving the problem of multiplication of responsibility for violation of rights to cumulatively protected results of creative work. It is noted that in Russian practice, the prevailing approach is that the exclusive right to each ideal object is subject to independent protection. It is concluded that it is necessary to introduce the rule concerning priority of the exclusive right over an industrial design in the context of protection of rights to designs
Features of Civil Law Regulation of Relations in Design and Construction Using Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Authors: Yalilov A. D.
Published: November 2022

The paper explains the civil law aspects of the regulation of relations related to the use of information modeling in construction. The author analyzes the features of international and national standards for BIM implementation and highlights the problems of domestic legal regulation of relations in the field of information modeling. It is determined that the development of BIM technologies requires special contractual legal tools, providing, on the one hand, organizational and informational relations for the creation and use of a digital model within a single process of design, construction and operation, and, on the other hand, relations related to the exercise of property rights and obligations, exclusive rights to the BIM object. The author substantiates the necessity of introducing standard structures defining the use of BIM in contractual practice of design and construction. The author proposes to apply conceptual aspects that need to be reflected in the development of relevant treaties.
Current Problems of International Legal Regulation of the Black Sea Environmental Safety
Authors: Bekyashev D. K. , Ashuba D. B.
Published: November 2022

The problems of international legal regulation of the protection and preservation of the marine environment are especially acute for the coastal states of closed and semi-enclosed seas, i.e. the Black Sea, which, due to oceanographic and environmental conditions, are very sensitive to pollution entering them. The legal framework for ensuring the environmental safety of this natural object should take into account the unique hydrological features of the reservoir and be progressive. Currently, the legal regulation of the environmental safety of the Black Sea is carried out by the coastal states separately, which means that the current standards are not coordinated and sufficiently effective. This leads to local pollution, which, in turn, spreads to the entire sea. Thus, if the coastal states within the exclusive economic zone agree on a single legal mechanism for the entire Black Sea, such a multilateral agreement will be able to take into account the interests of all interested states without diminishing the sovereignty of any of the parties
DC:0–5™ Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood: Promotion in Russia
Authors: Skoblo Galina V , Trushkina Svetlana V.
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the report is to inform the community of Russian pediatric mental health professionals about the international DC:05 Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood: its purpose, target age, structure and content of diagnostic axes, as well as about the steps already taken domestically to promote the Classification in Russia. We show that the diagnostic Classification is the brainchild of leading foreign experts in the mental health of children and that it is based on an analysis and extrapolation of a large body of clinical data from around the world and covers a wide range of mental disorders experienced by children during their first five years of life. The interdisciplinary focus of DC:05 is emphasized, as well as the presence in it of a crosswalk to the DSM-5 and ICD-10 systems, and the possibility to supplement these classifications taking into account the age specificity of disorders. It was made note that this diagnostic classification is almost unknown among Russian specialists. The report briefly touches on the results of the research activities of the interdisciplinary research group of the Scientific Center for Mental Health (Moscow) carried out in the period between 2002 and 2017 and aimed at analyzing the diagnostic approaches proposed in the Classification and testing them on Russian sample populations. The release of the Russian version of DC:05 in 2022 by the non-profit organization Caritas Social School (St. Petersburg), with the official consent of the DC:05 developer and in cooperation with the Faculty of Psychology of St. Petersburg State University, and an accompanying DC:05 introduction course developed by this team for Russian child mental health professionals were announced.
Sensitivity of <>iStreptococcus pneumoniae to antibiotics and the sex of the patient: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Semenov Sergey A. , Khasanova Gulshat R.
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: The spread of microbial resistance to antibiotics is a recent global problem, which has become more acute in recent years because of a significant increase in the consumption of antibiotics, against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic. A direct consequence of the spread of antibiotic-insensitive strains of pneumococci limits the treatment options for such patients and deterioration of the prognosis.
AIM: To determine whether sex is a factor associated with the development of diseases caused by antibiotic-resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using the electronic databases PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, a search was conducted for articles published from January 1980 to December 2020, and studies in English and Russian were selected. The selection of articles and meta-analysis was based on the recommendations of the PRISMA Group and MOOSE. After combining the data, the odds ratio (OR) was calculated with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Heterogeneity was assessed.
RESULTS: After applying the exclusion criteria, 41 publications covering 16635 patients with invasive and non-invasive forms of pneumococcal infection were selected for analysis. Of these, 36 case-control studies and 5 cross-sectional studies were identified. Accordingly, the sex of the patient does not affect the frequency of isolation of pneumococcal strains insensitive to penicillin (odds ratio [OR]=0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.821.03, I2=7%), resistant to penicillin (OR=0.85, 95% CI 0.671.07, I2=1%), and insensitive to erythromycin (OR=0.80, 95% CI 0.511.24, I2=0%). Male sex is associated with pneumococcal resistance to levofloxacin (OR=1.85, 95% CI 1.033.33, I2=0%).
CONCLUSIONS: The sex of the patient is not a factor associated with the isolation of S. pneumonia strains insensitive and resistant to penicillin and erythromycin. Moreover, the male sex probably increases the chance of isolation of levofloxacin-resistant pneumococci in adults with invasive pneumococcal infections.

We investigated two trench sites to determine Holocene paleoseismicity on the flanks of Agua Tibia Mountain along the Elsinore fault, southern California. Our investigation revealed that a minimum of four earthquakes produced surface rupture on this southern reach of the Temecula segment of the fault in the past 4.5 ka. We also recognized evidence for an earthquake that predated 4.5 ka, possibly by only a short period of time. Radiocarbon and historical data constrain the timing of the most recent earthquake to between A.D. 1655 and the onset of construction of the Pala Mission complex, in about A.D. 1810.

Four of the recognized events occurred between 2.7 ka and just before 4.5 ka, whereas the fifth occurred less than 340 years ago. These observations suggest that either earthquake occurrence has been irregular at this site or that the paleoseismic record at Agua Tibia Mountain is incomplete. If the latter is correct and if the record between 2.7 and 4.5 ka is complete, then our preferred interpretation suggests an average return time for surface-rupturing events of 550 to 600 years. The best estimates of event times for the three oldest dated events are 2.8, 3.25, and 4.0 ka, with another event just before 4.5 ka, indicating return intervals for this time period ranging between 450 and 750 years. Using the previously determined slip rate for the Temecula segment of the Elsinore fault of 5 mm/yr, and assuming that 550-600-year average return time is correct, the likelihood for an earthquake on the Temecula segment in the next 50 years is less than 5%.

In the past two years, a permanent network of 10 broadband seismographs has become operational in the Indian Peninsular shield region. In this article, we analyze the data recorded by this network with two goals: (1) to lay ground for a quick estimation of source parameters of future earthquakes in the region and (2) to estimate the source parameters of the destructive Jabalpur earthquake of 21 May 1997 (Mw = 5.8), which occurred within the network. Toward these goals, we measure Rayleigh- and Love-wave group velocity dispersion curves in the period range of 10 to 75 sec and invert these curves to estimate the crustal and the upper mantle structure below the Indian shield region. Our best model consists of a two-layer crust; the upper layer is 14-km thick with a shear-wave velocity (Vs) of 3.55 km/sec; the corresponding values for the lower layer are 25 km and 3.85 km/sec. Vs for the upper mantle is 4.65 km/sec. Based on this structure, we perform a moment tensor (MT) inversion of the bandpassed (0.05-0.02 Hz) seismograms of the Jabalpur earthquake. The best fit is obtained for a source located at a depth of 42 km, with a seismic moment, M0, of 7.7 × 1024 dyne cm, and a focal mechanism with strike 61°, dip 64°, and rake 74°. These source parameters are similar to those previously reported in the literature, demonstrating that a routine MT inversion of moderate and large Indian Penisular earthquakes is now possible. A careful examination of the seismograms and modeling of the two closest records reveal that the Jabalpur earthquake nucleated in the lower crust at a depth of ∼36 km. It consisted of two subevents separated in time by 0.65 sec, with the second subevent located ∼2 km above the first one. The total source duration was ∼1.4 sec.
A Comparison of Machine Learning Models to Prioritise Emails using Emotion Analysis for Customer Service Excellence

There has been little research on machine learning for email prioritization for customer service excellence. To fill this gap, we propose and assess the efficacy of various machine learning techniques for classifying emails into three degrees of priority: high, low, and neutral, based on the emotions inherent in the email content. It is predicted that after emails are classified into those three categories, recipients will be able to respond to emails more efficiently and provide better customer service. We use the NRC Emotion Lexicon to construct a labeled email dataset of 517,401 messages for our proposal. Following that, we train and test four prominent machine learning models, MNB, SVM, LogR, and RF, and an Ensemble of MNB, LSVC, and RF classifiers, on the labeled dataset. Our main findings suggest that machine learning may be used to classify emails based on their emotional content. However, some models outperform others. During the testing phase, we also discovered that the LogR and LSVC models performed the best, with an accuracy of 72%, while the MNB classifier performed the poorest. Furthermore, classification performance differed depending on whether the dataset was balanced or imbalanced. We conclude that machine learning models that employ emotions for email classification are a promising avenue that should be explored further.
Políticas de la memoria y la diferencia. Observaciones sobre la situación postcolonial en Namibia
Authors: Kössler Reinhart
Published: November 2022

Los retos a los que se enfrenta la Namibia poscolonial incluyen un panorama diverso de experiencias históricas, en particular a causa del impacto desigual del colonialismo alemán que culminó con el genocidio de los ovaherero y los nama en 1904-08. En este capítulo, esta experiencia constituye el telón de fondo de los esfuerzos a largo plazo de las comunidades afectadas por exponer sus reivindicaciones. Tras la independencia de Namibia en 1990, estos esfuerzos se encontraron con los rechazos oficiales de Alemania, pero condujeron a un alineamiento temporal con el gobierno de Namibia. Más recientemente, el gobierno de Namibia, al tiempo que insiste en una disculpa y reparación alemana, ha hecho hincapié en la unidad nacional frente a las reclamaciones específicas de las comunidades afectadas. Este conflicto ha marcado las negociaciones intergubernamentales entre Namibia y Alemania que se iniciaron después de que Alemania accediera por fin a la designación de genocidio por lo ocurrido en Namibia bajo el dominio alemán. Gran parte de las comunidades afectadas reclaman un papel autónomo en estas negociaciones e impugnan el derecho del gobierno namibio a representarlas. Esto plantea, entre otras cosas, problemas relacionados con los derechos de los pueblos indígenas. Para terminar, las cuestiones de unidad y diversidad quedan ejemplificadas por las circunstancias de la primera restitución de objetos culturales por parte de Alemania a Namibia en 2019.

With the emergence of a novel human corona virus, it is believed that persons with underlying health conditions or co-morbidities like diabetes mellitus, have an increasingly rapid and severe progression, often leading to death. India as a country has demonstrated an escalating prevalence of diabetes not only in urban populations, but also in rural populations as a result of the urbanization of lifestyle parameters.

A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 250 diagnosed diabetic patients of age group 18-60 years attending outpatient department of Rural Health Training Centre affiliated to the tertiary care hospital.

The responses were tabulated and analyzed for frequencies and percentage. We observed that 70% of diabetic patients of rural population were aware about the high risk of Covid-19 infection in diabetics. Half of the diabetic patients in our study were aware of the technique of hand washing and importance of wearing mask as a precautionary measure in this COVID era.

Prevention is of utmost importance, but for the millions of diabetics managing their disease must remain the priority. Sensitization of population with co-morbidities regarding self-care and precautionary measures must be implemented at root level.

Childhood nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a chronic illness characterized by relapses and remissions. In many there will be disability, caused by the disease and from the treatment in the form of immunosuppression or end stage renal disease. Progression to renal failure will require anticipation for dialysis and/or renal transplant. A noninvasive biomarker such as urine protein profile that accurately predicts responsiveness to steroid therapy would be valuable in predicting the course of nephrotic syndrome. Our study tries to correlate between the selectivity of proteinuria and the outcome of relapses and thus prognosticate the course of the disease. Few similar studies have been done in India.

Our study is a cross-sectional hospital based study, comprised of a population of 43 children with nephrotic syndrome relapse, between 1 and 14 years of age. Blood and urine samples were collected, to look for selective or nonselective proteinuria using the Agarose gel electrophoresis (Age) method. The treatment for relapse was started with steroid and, outcome was then related to the selectivity of proteinuria.

Majority of our patients had non selective proteinuria (NSP) 60.5%, the rest had selective proteinuria (SP) 39.5%.

There was a significant relation between nonselective proteinuria and- 1: Hypertension (p =0.049); 2: Low GFR p<0.001(p =0.0005); 3: Steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome. (p =0.0199).

Non selective proteinuria was more in children, above the age of 6 years (p=0.001).

The nonselective proteinuria group took more time for remission pointing to the lesser degree of steroid sensitivity.

Non selective proteinuria can be used as a biomarker to predict the course in childhood nephrotic syndrome. The higher prevalence of non-selective proteinuria could be due to severe forms of nephrotic syndrome in our study. Selective proteinuria had a better outcome.
