Predictors of Differing Experiences with Scriptural Women and Heavenly Mother among Latter-day Saints
Authors: LeBaron-Black Ashley , Kelley Heather , Van Alfen Megan , Button Julie , Coyne Sarah , Christensen-Duerden Chenae
Published: June 2024

Although the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints avows some empowering doctrines related to gender (including belief in a Heavenly Mother), its members may not be immune to the harmful effects of sexism nor uniform in their gender ideologies. With a mixed methods approach, we explored how Latter-day Saints orient to the belief in female deity, how individual experiences and beliefs about gender are associated with members’ religious experiences and behaviors, and whether these links depend on one’s gender. Using survey responses from a convenience sample of 1,674 adult Latter-day Saints living in the United States, we tested a structural equation model and two moderation models. We supplemented these analyses with qualitative data analysis of four focus groups (n=15) of Latter-day Saints living near Utah County, Utah. On average, Latter-day Saint women who had been the victims of repeated sexism noticed a lack of discussion about scriptural women and Heavenly Mother at church and sought out these topics more frequently in their personal study. Regardless of gender, the more traditional a participant’s gender ideology, the more frequently they perceived that scriptural women and Heavenly Mother are discussed at church and the less frequently they reported to have studied them on their own time. Drawing on themes that emerged, we discuss gender inequalities in the Church, intentional efforts to discuss and study scriptural women and Heavenly Mother, and the impact of those stories and doctrines on members’ personal and spiritual wellbeing. A celebration of women—including feminine deity—may be a balm for the souls of Latter-day Saints wounded by sexism.

An Early Dengue Virus Fever Diagnostic Tool
Authors:   Kalinga university Raipur, sahu Tikm chand
Published: June 2024

The dengue virus is a persistent and very prevalent pathogenic threat in underdeveloped nations such as India. In order to create effective management and treatment plans, it is necessary to continuously monitor the spread and diagnosis of dengue infections due to their variable types and frequencies. The dengue virus is a very complicated illness that presents in many ways. Using standard laboratory techniques to define the dengue virus infection is challenging. NS1, however, might be a useful diagnosis in the initial several days of fever. In this study, the presence of the dengue-specific NS1 antigen was examined in 88 patients from the Raipur regions of Chattisgarh who had been ill for one to thirty days.A kit based on ELISA was used. The collected data was analyzed and the percentage frequency of both IgM positive and negative and NS1 positive and negative results were expressed for each dengue fever patient. Notably, 36.3% of the population had dengue infection. Early in the infection period, the NS1 antigen was effectively measured. In every participant who tested positive for NS1 on the second day of fever, IgM was negative. Nevertheless, when the temperature increased, this correlation became less strong. It was determined through analysis that leuckocytopenia and thrombocytopenia were random states unrelated to NS1 positive. It is clear that diagnosing dengue is extremely difficult and that the antigenic profile drastically shifts as the fever progresses over a period of days.By using a diagnostic approach based on a thorough examination of the subjects, clinicians can reduce the possibility that dengue shock syndrome would cause hemorrhage.

Published: June 2024

Productivity is generally considered to be the efficient utilization of organizational resources and is measured in terms of the efficiency of a worker, company or nation.[1] Productivity is one of the widely used manufacturing performance measure and is essential for driving and managing production improvements[2]. Productivity relates to the efficiency of production factors in the production process. The higher the productivity, the lower the input, and consequently the lower the product cost [3]. The full benefits of productivity improvement measures are realized when productivity is examined from two perspectives: operational efficiency (output/input) of an individual worker or a business unit as well as performance (effectiveness) with regard to end user or customer satisfaction [1]. Productivity is an aggregated concept of overall efficiency/effectiveness of the organization concerned. Today most firms are interested in a strategic approach for improving productivity and quality in their organizations. Tools are playing vital role to increase productivity in the Industry.

Achieving Decentralized and Dynamic SSO-Identity Access Management System for Multi-Application Outsourced in Cloud
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, CSE Department, Hyderabad
Published: June 2024

The majority of Single Sign-On (SSO) access control systems in use today rely on traditional protocols that require additional identity providers and/or authentication methods. The increasing requirement to outsource system resources, like data and apps, to cloud platforms makes it impractical to deploy traditional SSO methodologies to provide efficient and granular access control for multi-user and multi-application settings. In this study, we provide D2-IAM, a block chain-based identity and access management (IAM) scheme, as a strong security measure for controlling SSO access to cloud resources. Essentially, smart contracts and blockchain technology are used in D2-IAM's access control processes, and every access transaction is meticulously documented for accountability. Our system's SSO authentication is based on the highest level of authentication and hashed-based token management. Because of the autonomous authentication management, there is less communication overhead when working with identity providers and third-party verification mechanisms for multi-system authentication. D2-IAM uses access policies that are specified, upheld, and represented for each client in the document database to give granular access to the authorization system.

Authors:   G H Raisoni Institute of Engineering & Technology Nagpur  Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur, jaiswal Saurabh
Published: June 2024

Glass fiber reinforced gypsum plasterboard (GFRG) is an environmentally friendly product. They are made of modified plaster and reinforced with fiberglass strips. Its main use is in the construction of walls, but it can also be used in combination with reinforced concrete on floors and roofs. The panels have voids that can be filled with concrete or reinforced with steel bars to increase strength and ductility. These panels can be used as an alternative building material to replace bricks and concrete blocks. IIT Madras has conducted several research studies and developed a structural design manual for designing buildings constructed by GFRG. Phosphor gypsum is a by-product of the fertilizer industry. In addition to its use as a fertilizer, building material, and soil stabilizer, approximately 85% of phosphor gypsum is disposed of near phosphate plants, which require large disposal sites. Phosphorus from gypsum can be effectively removed by creating glass fiber reinforced gypsum plasterboard (GFRG), also known as fast wall. They may or may not be used as support structures. In this research work we design three different models of G+10 in 5th zone of earthquake as on IS code. The lateral load such as earthquake is to be classified as live horizontal forces acting on the structure depending on the structure’s geographic location, height, shape and structural material. In this study, a multi-story Glass fiber reinforced panel and Brick-infill and concrete block infill wall building has been shown and performed by using software ETABS constructed on a plan ground having G+10 stories.

Fight for Opportunities or Back to Old Ways: George Eliot's Ambivalent Attitude Towards Female Images in a Patriarchal Society in Adam Bede
Authors: Miao Zhang
Published: June 2024

The Victorian era in which George Eliot lived was an age of collision between tradition and modernity, an era in which women suffered from craning their necks up to look at men for a long time. Women began to reflect on their own objectification in a patriarchal society, seeking a perspective from which they could stand on equal ground with men. Influenced by bourgeois empirical philosophy, Eliot advocated for harmony and equality of social roles. In this article, it analyzes Dinah, who broke the traditional image of women and chose to preach, but also who finally accepted women's natural occupations and assisted men. Also, there was a character of Hetty, originally created by the author as an object of desire for men, showing a sense of despair. What led the author to create such a contradictory female character - Dinah? And why there was a Hetty with a tragic end? The article aims to respond the novel, Adam Bede, is a product of the limitations and influences of Eliot’s living era, also the realization of Eliot’s willingness to merely reflect people and events in her mind like a mirror, and present images of them flawlessly, mainly through the comparison of two different female roles of Dinah and Hetty, and the comparison of Dinah herself.

Implementation of a Civic Engagement Community Change Model by a Community College through the Integration of Technology and Social Media as a Strategic Element
Authors: Soto Hector W.
Published: June 2024

Historically, the role of the community college has been to serve the non-traditional student. Today’s community college is confronted with the challenge that it is failing to attract and graduate in appropriate numbers that non-traditional student, commonly referred to as coming from an underserved or marginalized community, usually referencing poor communities of color. In spite of a general diminution of law and policies providing a remedy for past exclusionary practices, higher education understands that as a matter of equity it has an obligation to provide educational opportunity to the marginalized community. This obligation traditionally has also required the college to be responsive to the needs of the community. The purpose of this paper is threefold: to propose that a college’s responsiveness to community now needs to include addressing the conditions that contribute to its marginalization; to posit the civic engagement community change model as the vehicle for the college to develop the kind of collaborative and mutually beneficial relationship with the community that will catalyze curative change; and to underscore the necessity of integrating the use of technology as a strategic element in the development and implementation of the college’s civic engagement initiative. Successful implementation of a civic engagement community change model will result in a greater number of graduates from that community, as well as spur the development of a more cohesive, stable and civically engaged community
To Blend or not to Blend: A Case Study of On-line Learning in General Biology
Authors: Edwards Yasmine , Faradj Hisseine
Published: June 2024

The drive to increase on-line course offerings has many motivations. The most compelling for Community College students is often the need to juggle family demands and the need to work while attempting to earn their college degree. On-line education began with the for-profit educational industry and the experiences of students in the for - profit arena has much to teach us. A significant feature is the high drop -out rates associated with massive on-line courses (MOOCs). Bronx Community College is a Hispanic Serving Community College, whose students could benefit from the flexibility on-line courses can provide. However, recent data suggests that these are the very students who tend to underperform in an on-line setting. The current work is a case study that compares the performance of students taking a hybrid general biology 1 course to students in the classic lecture sections of the course. The result indicates that students in the hybrid course sections show lower performance on common final exam assessments, lower passing grades and rates compared to students enrolled in the classic lecture sections of the course.

De beweging naar voren: back to normal

Een van de onderdelen van het nieuwe Wetboek van Strafvordering die tot dusver veel aandacht heeft gekregen, is de beweging naar voren. Deze bestaat uit een aantal aanpassingen in het strafprocesrecht om de berechting beter voor te bereiden. Het is een van de weinige onderdelen van het nieuwe Wetboek van Strafvordering die echt een verandering beoogt aan te brengen in de manier van werken in de strafrechtspleging. In de beweging naar voren komen ook verschillende beleidsdoelstellingen samen: het verbeteren van de voorbereiding van de berechting, het vergroten van mogelijkheden voor de verdediging om bij te dragen aan het onderzoek, en het verkorten van doorlooptijden. In hun bijdrage zetten Groos en Ruiter de verschillende elementen van de beweging naar voren uiteen. Ze belichten de uitdagingen die de uitvoering van de beweging naar voren oplevert vanuit het perspectief van de rechtspraak en doen dat met een kritische blik. Van der Meij richt zich in zijn bijdrage op de vraag of en hoe de verdediging in de praktijk gebruik zal maken van de mogelijkheden die de beweging naar voren oplevert voor een actieve bijdrage aan de voorbereiding van de berechting. Ik wil bij wijze van inleiding kort stilstaan bij drie aspecten van de beweging naar voren: het opheffen van de pro-formastructuur, de indeling van het onderzoek ter zitting, en de discussie over de rol van de rechter-commissaris in ons strafprocesrecht. Dit maakt het mogelijk om de punten van kritiek op de beweging naar voren op hun gewicht en pertinentie te schatten. Het levert en passant een aantal aandachtspunten op voor flankerend beleid.
Vereist de poortwachtersfunctie van de officier van justitie bij de vervolgingsbeslissing eigenlijk niet nadere regeling in het Wetboek van Strafvordering?
Authors: Mevis P.A.M. (Paul)

Vereist de poortwachtersfunctie van de officier van justitie bij de vervolgingsbeslissing eigenlijk niet nadere regeling in het Wetboek van Strafvordering?

Sedert 1999 zijn de positie en betekenis van de officier van justitie/het OM als ‘eigenstandige organisatie’ praktisch geoperationaliseerd en in wetgeving (waaronder die betreffende de strafvordering), nader uitgewerkt, zij het niet altijd systematisch of vanuit eenvormig en bestendig beleid. Men zou kunnen verwachten dat de modernisering van het Wetboek van Strafvordering wordt aangegrepen om de positionering van het OM in de strafvordering meer systematisch aan te passen. De Contourennota bevat een zekere aankondiging in die richting, maar het uiteindelijke wetsvoorstel bevat weinig concrete voorstellen waarin de veranderde positie van de officier van justitie of het OM doorklinkt.

De vraag is of dat niet anders kan of moet; verdient een adequate positionering van het OM niet toch de nadere aandacht van de wetgever? Zo ja, welke richting is daarvoor aangewezen? Moet wellicht in meer gevallen een sterkere rechterlijke toets of toezicht worden gerealiseerd? Of zouden de ontwikkelingen eerder in een betere positionering van de officier van justitie of het OM kunnen worden gevangen? Daarbij moet dan wel worden onderscheiden tussen de vraag of, waarom en hoe ter zake een regeling op het niveau van de wet in formele zin aangewezen is, en de vraag of die wet dan het Wetboek van Strafvordering moet zijn of, bijvoorbeeld, de Wet RO. In de beperkte omvang van deze bijdrage worden deze vragen voor de regeling betreffende de vervolgingsbeslissing onderzocht; het gaat niet om aspecten van regeling van opsporing.
De weg naar een digitaal strafproces op basis van het nieuwe Wetboek van Strafvordering

De weg naar een digitaal strafproces op basis van het nieuwe Wetboek van Strafvordering

Het nieuwe Wetboek van Strafvordering moet ervoor zorgen dat in de praktijk van de strafrechtspleging op gemakkelijke wijze technologische ontwikkelingen kunnen worden doorgevoerd. De bedoeling is dat de regeling van het strafprocesrecht techniekonafhankelijk wordt. Op grond daarvan kunnen technologische ontwikkelingen die in de samenleving plaatsvinden, bijvoorbeeld op het terrein van communicatiemiddelen en registratiemogelijkheden, gemakkelijk worden ingevoerd in de strafrechtspleging. Nieuwe technologie kan handelingen in de strafrechtketen eenvoudiger, minder arbeidsintensief en sneller maken, zo is de verwachting.

De bijdrage van Kramer in dit nummer lijkt erop te wijzen dat audiovisuele registratie van handelingen behoorlijk wat uitdagingen oplevert voor rechters die ervan kennis moeten nemen, en niet zomaar een volwaardig alternatief is voor schriftelijke verslaglegging. Dat zou wellicht anders zijn als er techniek komt die het mogelijk maakt om audiovisuele registraties snel en eenvoudig te doorzoeken.

De Wilde constateert in zijn bijdrage dat er de afgelopen jaren in de digitalisering van de strafrechtketen (wel degelijk) vooruitgang is geboekt. Hij wijst daarbij op de ontwikkeling van digitale procesdossiers. Politie, OM en rechtspraak maken steeds vaker stukken digitaal op. De digitale stukken worden vervolgens, tezamen met gescande papieren documenten, in een digitaal dossier gevoegd dat ook als zodanig wordt overgedragen aan elkaar – in de praktijk het volgende orgaan in de keten (bijvoorbeeld van politie naar OM). Een positieve ontwikkeling van een andere aard is de ingebruikneming van het slachtofferportaal, waarin slachtoffers van misdrijven mededelingen met betrekking tot hun zaak kunnen inzien.

In deze inleiding wil ik verder ingaan op de digitalisering in relatie tot het nieuwe Wetboek van Strafvordering. Waar werken we wat betreft digitalisering van het strafproces naartoe? En welke positieve veranderingen zou dit kunnen brengen voor de inhoud van ons strafproces en wat is daarvoor nodig?
Wat zie ik eigenlijk? Is de opname van beeld en geluid bruikbaar als zelfstandig wettig bewijsmiddel?

Wat zie ik eigenlijk? Is de opname van beeld en geluid bruikbaar als zelfstandig wettig bewijsmiddel?

Met de Innovatiewet Strafvordering wordt binnen de Rechtspraak geëxperimenteerd met audiovisuele verslaglegging en met een opname van beeld en geluid als zelfstandig wettig bewijsmiddel. De vraag die op de voorgrond treedt: is het wel mogelijk om een opname als zelfstandig bewijsmiddel te gebruiken zonder dat deze ‘wordt geïnterpreteerd en tot uitdrukking gebracht in geschreven taal’. Een andere vraag: wordt de gewenste efficiencyslag wel gerealiseerd? Het bekijken van een opname kost immers aanzienlijk meer tijd dan het lezen van schriftelijke processtukken.
