Consortium-Based Algorithm for Access Control and Pattern Analysis Models
Authors: Pardakhe Nilima V. , Deshmukh Vaishali M.
Published: June 2023

Inappropriate ownership transfers, weak access control, and incorrect authentication are just some of the most common external risks to public cloud installations. Cloud application developers may intentionally or unintentionally introduce these design-level issues. The difficulty that modern large-scale cloud deployments have in identifying and patching these vulnerabilities is a contributing factor to the decline in cloud QoS (quality of service) and the rise in overall system cost. Many different models of security patches have been developed by researchers and penetration testers in an effort to counteract this widespread issue. In this paper the Novel architecture is proposed that is applied to the header level to allow access to all data in incoming traffic. For the purpose of determining the most effective means of restricting access for possible internal and external attackers, this data is being processed by a context-aware rule-based engine. Moreover, it uses pattern analysis to assess the possibility of attacks like man-in-the-middle, cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection (SQLi), denial of service (DoS), and cross-site request forgery (CORS). By designing the network around the concept of a blockchain consortium, it is feasible to effectively exert ownership control without affecting the system's operation. This blockchain-based method stores all ownership requests in a private cloud until the content owner approves or rejects them, at which point they are transferred to the public cloud. These three properties of the model—distributed computing, immutability, and verifiability—are maintained by using a public/private chaining mechanism. The method has been evaluated across many cloud implementations, with consistent findings showing a 99.9% improvement in lowering the probability of external assaults while preserving or improving upon the efficiency of latency, throughput, and ownership transfer.

Preeclampsia is caused by placental hypoxia and systemic inflammation, which are associated with reduced placental growth factor (PlGF) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) levels. The molecular signaling axes involved in this link may play a role in preeclampsia pathogenesis. Here, we found that hypoxic exposure increased hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)/Twist1-mediated miR-214-3p biogenesis in trophoblasts, suppressing PlGF production and trophoblast invasion. TNF-α stimulation increased NF-κB-dependent miR-214-3p expression in endothelial cells, impairing eNOS expression and causing endothelial dysfunction. Synthetic miR-214-3p administration to pregnant mice decreased PlGF and eNOS expression, resulting in preeclampsia-like symptoms, including hypertension, proteinuria, and fetal growth restriction. Conversely, miR-214-3p deletion maintained the PlGF and eNOS levels in hypoxic pregnant mice, alleviating preeclampsia-like symptoms and signs. These findings provide new insights into the role of HIF-1α/Twist1- and NF-κB-responsive miR-214-3p-dependent PlGF and eNOS downregulation in preeclampsia pathogenesis and establish miR-214-3p as a therapeutic or preventive target for preeclampsia and its complications.
LONG-LASTING INSECTICIDE NETS OWNERSHIP AND MALARIA MORBIDITY IN KRACHI EAST MUNICIPALITY, GHANA
Authors: Wuresah Israel , Elmi Siman , Adjuik Martin
Published: June 2023

Background: Malaria-related morbidity and mortality are issues of great concern to public health globally though, a higher proportion of cases reside within Sub-Saharan Africa. The situation in Ghana though not new, is very disturbing, as millions of people especially children and pregnant women suffer severely from malaria. Seasonal chemoprevention and indoor residual spraying are among many measures deployed in the northern parts of Ghana with nationwide outreach and point distribution of LLINs across the country but reports from OPDs indicate millions of malaria cases annually.
Objective: To identify the levels of ownership and usage of the treated bed nets, and describe the relationship between ownership of LLINs and malaria morbidity.
Methods: The 30-cluster sampling method was deployed. Using both a modified WHO EPI survey method for more rural areas and a random walk sampling for more urban areas, each community had a listed starting point where the use of a spun pen determined the direction to conduct the surveys within the specified cluster. Selected households’ heads/representatives (any adult aged 18 years and above, in a household where the head is absent) participated voluntarily. STATA version 16.0 was used to run the statistical analysis and the results were presented in tables and figures.
Results: Findings revealed high levels of ownership of LLINs (73.4%) but moderately low usage levels (49.5%). Some other uses of LLINs (22.9%) aside from sleeping under them were identified. Malaria morbidity (59.6%) was also determined. Multivariate analysis results revealed statistically significant association between some socio-demographic characteristics and LLINs ownership including female sex (AOR = 2.1 (95% CI: 1.15, 3.87) p=0.016), being married (AOR = 3.4 (95% CI: 1.76, 6.74) p<0.001), cohabiting (AOR = 6.1 (95% CI: 2.15, 17.02) p=0.001) and being separated or divorced (AOR = 9.4 (95% CI: 1.09, 81.27) p=0.041). A positive correlation was identified between ownership of LLINs and their usage, however both ownership and usage had no influence on malaria morbidity.
Conclusion: The study highlights a high ownership rate but lower usage of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs), indicating the need to address barriers to consistent utilization. There is a significant burden of malaria within the surveyed population, emphasizing the importance of effective malaria control measures. Further research is required to validate the impact of LLINs ownership and sociodemographic characteristics on malaria morbidity.

Ежегодно в нашей стране вырубается около 120 тыс. га леса, поэтому необходимо проведение искусственного лесовосстановления. Уровень механизации посева и посадки леса низкий - 22%, и для его повышения необходима разработка новых и усовершенствование существующих лесопосадочных машин. Разработка конструкций и математического аппарата должна выполняться с помощью отечественного программного обеспечения. Для определения параметров лесопосадочного аппарата необходимо определить движения его звеньев. В настоящей работе было использовано отечественное программное обеспечение. Трехмерная модель деталей и сборка лесопосадочного аппарата была смоделирована в САПР КОМПАС-3D. Имитационная модель с геометрическими параметрами, полученными из трехмерной модели, была выполнена в среде динамического моделирования SimInTech. Проведён имитационный эксперимент в SimInTech, определены траекторий движения исследуемых точек механизма захвата с учетом профиля борозды, скорости подачи и геометрических параметров конструкции. В имитационную модель также заложено требование к качеству работы машины, а именно поддержание нулевой скорости захвата относительно земли при установке саженцев в почву. Разработанная имитационная модель может быть интегрирована в управляющее устройство, для корректировки скорости вращения дисков при изменении скорости подачи машины, а также для согласования скоростей с механизмом подачи саженцев.

About 120 thousand hectares of forest are cut down in our country every year, so it is necessary to carry out artificial reforestation. The level of mechanization of sowing and planting forests is low - 22%, and in order to increase it, it is necessary to develop new and improve existing forest planting machines. The development of structures and mathematical apparatus should be carried out using domestic software. To determine the parameters of the forest planting apparatus, it is necessary to determine the movements of its links. In this work, domestic software was used. A three-dimensional model of parts and assembly of a forest planter was modeled in CAD KOMPAS-3D. A simulation model with geometric parameters obtained from a three-dimensional model was made in the SimInTech dynamic simulation environment. A simulation experiment was carried out in SimInTech, the trajectories of the studied points of the gripping mechanism were determined, taking into account the furrow profile, feed rate and geometrical parameters of the structure. The simulation model also includes a requirement for the quality of the machine, namely, maintaining a zero gripping speed relative to the ground when planting seedlings in the soil. The developed simulation model can be integrated into the control device to adjust the disk rotation speed when the machine feed speed changes, as well as to match the speeds with the seedling feed mechanism.

В статье освещено зарождение и развитие лесного дела, лесной науки и лесного образования в Императорской России, а также основные вехи развития Санкт- Петербургского государственного лесотехнического университета имени С.М. Кирова (далее Университет) в разные периоды истории. Подробно описан вклад преподавателей и студентов Университета в оборону страны в годы Первой мировой войны. На примере постреволюционной истории Университета показано, как был найден компромисс советской власти и научной элиты в 1917–1922 гг. Превращение однофакультетского института в многопрофильную Лесотехническую академию позволило усилить его ведущие позиции в эпоху «индустриализации». Особой страницей истории Университета стал блокадный подвиг коллектива. Значительное внимание в статье уделено научным достижениям ученых и сохранению преемственности научных школ. В статье также описывается современная структура Университета и планируемые направления развития.

The article highlights the origin and development of forestry, forest science and forest education in Imperial Russia, as well as the main milestones in the development of the St. Petersburg State Forest Technical University named after S.M. Kirov (hereinafter – University) in different periods of history. The contribution of teachers and students of the University to the defense of the country during the First World War is described in detail. Using the example of the post-revolutionary history of the University, it is shown how a compromise was found between the Soviet government and the scientific elite in 1917–1922. The transformation of a single-faculty institute into a multidisciplinary Forestry Academy made it possible to strengthen its leading position in the era of "industrialization". The Leningrad blockade period became a special page in the history of the University. Considerable attention in the article is paid to the scientific achievements of scientists and the preservation of the continuity of scientific schools.

El perfil político de los Cancilleres de Alemania 1949-2021. Estabilidad y espacios de reclutamiento
Authors: Viladrich Beatriz , Casal Daniel
Published: June 2023

La configuración de la República Federal de Alemania a partir de 1949 tuvo una verdadera obsesión por evitar el control de las instituciones por parte de una única opción política, por lo cual diseñó un modelo de fuerte inspiración consociativa y parlamentaria. Al mismo tiempo para evitar la inestabilidad gubernamental de la República de Weimar (1919-1933) configuró una jefatura de gobierno fuerte rodeada de capacidades de control del ejecutivo y basada en una relación de confianza con el parlamento que desempoderase al Presidente de la República. El paper analiza el perfil político de los Cancilleres en el periodo 1949-2021 con objeto de determinar si existen patrones previos de su perfil político. Para ello ha construido una base de datos sociopolítica de los 8 Cancilleres Federales que han concluido su mandato que permite verificar el perfil masculinizado, conservador y de alta cualificación política que presentan todos los jefes de gobierno durante los últimos 72 años.
Bases éticas, filosóficas y jurídicas acerca del status legal de los animales no humanos. Actuales tendencias jurisprudenciales y legislativas estatales (Segunda parte)
Authors: Porcelli Adriana Margarita , Martínez Adriana Norma
Published: June 2023

El profundo deterioro ecológico global se ha agudizado de tal manera que desde la comunidad científica de todas las áreas del conocimiento- incluida la ciencia jurídica- comienzan a ensayarse respuestas y posibles soluciones para mitigar y frenar el camino hacia la destrucción del planeta. Las diferentes vertientes propuestas parten desde la protección del ambiente como obligación jurídica hasta las más controvertidas que le otorgan la calidad de sujeto de derechos a la Naturaleza como un todo, y otras que diferencian a los seres sintientes no humanos del resto y le asignan un status jurídico particular. El trabajo de investigación tiene por objeto el análisis de las diferentes posturas filosóficas y jurídicas en cuanto al status legal de los animales no humanos, semejanzas y diferencias, su adopción por recientes legislaciones nacionales y su aplicación en la jurisprudencia nacional de los diferentes Estados. La metodología utilizada se basó en el método científico comparativo, en la investigación bibliográfica, legislativa y en el estudio de casos jurisprudenciales nacionales referidos a la temática. Dada la extensión y profundidad de la temática y a los efectos de una presentación coherente y comprensible, el trabajo comprende tres secciones y el presente artículo constituye la segunda referida a las recientes legislaciones nacionales que han superado el binomio cosa=objeto versus sujeto=persona. En la primera se desarrolló el marco teórico consistente en los principios fundamentales de las diferentes concepciones acerca del status jurídico de los animales no humanos. Se concluyó que las legislaciones a nivel internacional, comunitario y nacional fueron abandonado el status jurídico de cosas con respecto a los animales no humanos, pero difieren en cuanto a su naturaleza jurídica, con disímiles efecto s jurídicos, pero todas limitan el accionar de los humanos para con los demás seres animales.

Effectiveness of anti-inflation policy that ensures economic growth: Evidence from post-Soviet countries
Authors: Kerimov Atik , Babayev Azer , Ashurbayli-Huseynova Nigar , Gubadova Aybaniz
Published: June 2023

There are active debates on the scale of inflation-economic growth causality in the short- and long-term perspectives and factors affecting the correlation and effectiveness of anti-inflationary measures depending on initial economic conditions. These scientific debates result in controversial results. This study aims to explore short- and long-run relationships in the inflation-economic growth chain of 12 post-Soviet countries (Azerbaijan, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, and Georgia) to determine the most effective system of anti-inflationary policy. The paper employed statistical analysis and trend line extrapolation (analysis of inflationary trends in 2000–2021 and forecast for 2022–2024), pooled mean group of the autoregressive distributed lag model in the Stata 14.2/SE software (identification of the short and long-run coefficients characterizing relationships between inflation and economic growth), and ordinary least squares regression (country-specific modeling results). Statistical analysis showed that Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia have the most effective anti-inflationary policy; Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Moldova demonstrate moderate effectiveness, and the other countries have low effectiveness. It is also established that in the long run, a 1% increase in inflation results in a 0.195% decrease in GDP growth with a 99% confidence probability, while in the short run, this causal relationship is insignificant. Country-specific modeling results revealed that within 12 post-Soviet countries, economic growth in Kazakhstan, Lithuania, and Ukraine in a short-term perspective depends on inflation dynamics. According to the modeling results, Lithuania has the most effective anti-inflationary policy to ensure sustainable economic growth.

Authors: Ximendes Fernanda do Amaral , Pessano Edward Frederico Castro
Published: June 2023

Este trabalho é fruto de uma pesquisa, estudo de caso, realizada em uma escola de Educação Infantil na rede municipal de Uruguaiana/RS. O grupo pesquisado foi composto por 16 professoras. A pesquisa teve por escopo verificar as percepções, conhecimentos e abordagens dos professores sobre o ensino de ciências; investigar como ocorre o processo de formação continuada desses professores na rede municipal de ensino e diagnosticar dificuldades e facilidades dos professores para a abordagem do ensino em ciências. Os dados foram obtidos através da aplicação de questionário semiestruturado e a avaliação qualitativa foi desenvolvida segundo a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados demonstraram que as percepções das docentes sobre o ensino de ciências são variadas e amplas. Em relação às práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas, verificou-se que as mesmas são coerentes com a etapa de desenvolvimento das crianças, porém faltam atividades que instiguem as crianças a formular hipóteses e experimentar atividades lúdicas com foco nas ciências. Contudo, aponta-se como alternativa para a melhoria da prática didático-pedagógica a formação continuada de professores e o desenvolvimento de estratégias educacionais contextualizadas com as demais áreas do conhecimento, a fim de tornar as aulas mais interessantes e promover o desenvolvimento pleno das crianças.
Análise retórica do fenômeno das estações do ano em livros didáticos: um estudo comparativo por meio das representações sociais
Authors: de Almeida Júnior Edson Ribeiro de Britto , Magalhães Júnior Carlos Alberto de Oliveira , Batista Michel Corci
Published: June 2023

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar se as Representações Sociais a respeito do fenômeno das estações do ano, compartilhadas por estudantes concluintes do Ensino Fundamental, são decorrentes da retórica empregada nos livros didáticos adotados pela instituição de ensino. A investigação foi desenvolvida a partir da exploração de livros didáticos, utilizados pelos sujeitos que compartilham essa representação social, durante seu percurso escolar no Ensino Fundamental. A análise retórica dos livros didáticos apresenta indícios que os argumentos elencados pelos autores não são suficientes para persuadir seus leitores, de modo condizente com as expectativas de aprendizagem das Diretrizes Curriculares da Educação, documento oficial da educação que norteou a elaboração das referidas obras. No entanto, o estudo comparativo apresenta divergência entre as representações sociais compartilhadas por esses estudantes e os conteúdos existentes nos livros didáticos, a respeito do fenômeno astronômico em questão. Tal resultado é condizente com os fundamentos necessários para a construção da aprendizagem, em uma perspectiva construtivista. Afinal, se um material de instrução não proporcionar condições para a associação das novas informações com os conhecimentos idiossincráticos do estudante, não haverá a aprendizagem.

In situ Derivatization of Lung Cancer Biomarker Aldehydes by Parallel-DPX-Cork and Quantification by HPLC-DAD
Authors: Morés Lucas , Huelsmann Ricardo , Bernardi Gabrieli , Merib Josias , Carasek Eduardo
Published: June 2023

Lung cancer is one of the main causes of death for thousands of people yearly around the world. Biomarker aldehydes, such as hexanal and heptanal, are compounds related to the development of lung cancer, which can be detected in the early stages of this disease. A methodology was proposed to determine these aldehydes in urine, with a new configuration associated with the sample preparation step. A novel strategy with a parallel-disposable pipette extraction (DPX)-cork device was used, offering a fast and affordable extraction methodology with analysis performed by high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector. In optimization steps, multivariate and univariate designs were applied, providing the following conditions: urine sample centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 15 min, 30 μL and 6 min of dinitrophenylhydrazine impregnation, 10× urine diluted in ultrapure water, pH adjusted to 4.8, 7 extraction cycles with 1.5 min each, 30 mg of cork, 2 desorption cycles and solvent acetonitrile with 300 μL. Limits of detection were 0.13 ng mL-1 for both analytes and limits of quantification were 0.40 and 0.41 ng mL-1 for hexanal and heptanal, respectively. Intraday and interday precisions ranged from 4 to 21%. Relative recoveries ranged from 86 to 107%, assessed at three concentrations. Urine samples were analyzed, but the presence of aldehydes was not detected.

The conclusion that can be drawn is that the UTAUT model can explain the determinants of the use of KKP within the scope of the Ministry of PUPR work units domiciled in DKI Jakarta.
American Grand Strategy in Africa: From Hegemony to the Balance of Power?
Authors: M’lili Amina
Published: June 2023

This paper explores the American grand strategy in Africa; more specifically in response to economic and security issues and socio-political instability in different regions of Africa. Having said that, this paper does not seek to re/appraise the US economic areas or/and security role and/or strategies to avert and halt the widespread terrorism in different parts of the African Continent. Instead, it explores the American grand strategy in Africa from a theoretical perspective. To capture this argument, the study uses Kenneth Waltz’s theory of Balance of Power (1979) as the most advanced theoretical framework to illustrate that the United States, as a great power, is power balancing China’s and Russia’s expanding geopolitical influence in Africa through military and economic cooperation. The paper argues that the United States’ goal behind power balancing with China and Russia is to make sure that their presence is not used to turn the African continent into the Eastern sphere of influence. The theoretical contribution of this research paper is to expand the understanding of Kenneth Waltz’s Balance of Power theory; especially balance by engaging in the competitive acquisition of territory and forming alliances.
African-American Identity in Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987)
Authors: Khrisat Abdulhafeth Ali
Published: June 2023

This paper aims to examine the African-American identity in Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987). The novel emphasizes the painful aspects of slavery such as sexual abuse and violence and explores the effects of the institution of slavery on the African-American character’s identity. The paper also addresses what it means to have a name and be free. The slavery institution does not believe in individuality. Naming is significant since it identifies the character. An analysis of the character’s identity and name will be studied since the characters have written their own stories and they are historically deprived of their humanity and language, a major constituent of the character’s personal and fellow slaves’ history. Therefore, the African-American character looks at the past as he/she longs for the sense of self. Moreover, the African slave is prohibited from being himself/herself or from belonging to a family. In this kind of institution, the African-American doubts the essential aspects of his identity, such as his value as an individual and the source of his manhood. Even after emancipation, the character feels that he has no identity, alienated and has no sense of self. After being freed, the characters try to reclaim their identities. The characters rename themselves in a way that they can now become ‘definer’ not ‘defined’: specific examples and references will be drawn from the narrative. The white founders of the institution of slavery commit acts of raping, an attack on one’s freedom, stealing and stripping the slave’s belongings and possessions, including his name.

Настоящая статья посвящена конституционно-правовому анализу деятельности, актов и решений Федерального Собрания Российской Федерации как объекта общественного контроля. Авторы обосновывают положение о том, что институт общественного контроля выступает в качестве важнейшей гарантии реализации конституционных принципов народовластия и участия граждан в управлении делами государства. Однако организация и осуществление данного института гражданского общества сталкиваются с многочисленными проблемами, одной из которых является отсутствие закрепления в действующем законодательстве понятия и перечня объектов общественного контроля. В связи с этим функционирование общественного контроля в отношении такого объекта, как деятельность, акты и решения Федерального Собрания Российской Федерации связано с многочисленными проблемами. В статье проводится анализ данных проблем, а также сформулированы и обоснованы пути их разрешения, в том числе путем усовершенствования российского законодательства. Это позволит не только создать оптимальные условия для осуществления полноценного контроля за деятельностью Российского парламента, но и в целом укрепить данный институт гражданского общества. This article is devoted to the constitutional and legal analysis of the activities, acts and decisions of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation as an object of public control. The authors substantiate the position that the institution of public control acts as the most important guarantee of the implementation of the constitutional principles of democracy and the participation of citizens in the management of state affairs. However, the organization and implementation of this institution of civil society faces numerous problems, one of which is the lack of consolidation in the current legislation of the concept and list of objects of public control. In this regard, the functioning of public control over such an object as activities, acts and decisions of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation is associated with numerous problems. The article analyzes these problems, and also formulates and justifies ways to resolve them, including by improving Russian legislation. This will not only cre-ate optimal conditions for full control over the activities of the Russian Parliament, but also strengthen this institution of civil society in general.

Статья посвящена рассмотрению вопросов, связанных с понятием молодежной политики и ее нормативно-правовой основой в современной России. Молодежную политику авторы рассматривают как важное направление социальной деятельности российского общества и государства на современном этапе, направленное на обеспечение воспитания и обучения молодежи в духе современных требований и социальной ее поддержки на основе взаимодействия институтов гражданского общества и органов публичной власти. По итогам анализа авторы отмечают о том, что действующая нормативно-правовая основа достаточна для того чтобы полноценно реализовать те задачи, которые были поставлены 22 декабря 2022 г. на заседании Госсовета по молодежной политике в России. С учетом этого основную задачу дальнейшего совершенствования молодежной политики на современном этапе авторы усматривают не столько в том, чтобы и далее совершенствовать нормативно-правовую ее основу, а сколько в том, чтобы повысить результативность (эффективность) механизмов реализации на практике мероприятий, предусмотренных законодательством в этой сфере. The article is devoted to the consideration of the main theoretical provisions of the concept and legal framework of youth policy in modern Russia. The authors consider youth policy as an important area of activity of society and the state, aimed at providing support and education for the youth of the country, implemented through the interaction of various institutions of civil society and public authorities. Based on the results of the analysis, the authors note that the current regulatory framework is sufficient to implement the goals and objectives that were set on December 22, 2022 at a meeting of the State Council on Youth Policy in Modern Russia. Therefore, the main task is not so much to further improve the regulatory framework, but rather to increase the effectiveness of the mechanisms for implementing in practice the measures already provided for by regulatory legal acts in this area.
Wave Age and Steepness Relation in Growing Wind Seas: A Case Study during Hurricane Matthew in 2016
Authors: Hsu Shih-Ang (S.A.)
Published: June 2023

For wind-wave interaction studies, from the literature, two criteria for the wind sea are used: one is the wave age and the other wave steepness. Analysis of pertinent datasets from a data buoy near the passage of Hurricane Matthew in 2016 indicates that = -15 + 1.3. Here is the wave age and is the wave steepness, where Cp is the phase speed of the peak wave, U10 is the wind speed at 10 m, Hs is the significant wave height, and Lp is the peak or dominant wave length. It is found that 87% of the variation between wave age and wave steepness can be explained by this relation. Application of this relation to estimate U10 and friction velocity from wave parameters are also presented for practical environmental and engineering use.

Covid-19 has exerted a significant impact on people’s life and health. Former coronavirus-related studies are mainly done through the lens of cognitive linguistics, especially Interpersonal Grammatical Metaphor Theory. This study focuses on the ideational grammatical metaphors in American coronavirus-related news, taking New York Times as the corpus for qualitative and quantitative analysis. The study combines the current issues concerning Covid-19 with Halliday’s Ideational Grammatical Metaphor Theory. It not only updates the application of the theory but also explores the ideology hidden behind words, helping identify the reporter’s potential purpose. It is found that the distribution of different types of ideational grammatical metaphors is shown by the proportion it takes in related news and is closely associated with their ideological functions. With Ideational Grammatical Theory serving as a media, the study offers a new perspective and approach for news report study.

Bharathi Mukherjee is a diasporic writer. Most of her novels focus on assimilation as well as encounter with the East and the West. The Tree Bride also goes in the same line of thought through an amalgamation of historical portrayal which represents the East whereas the colonial narration highlights the West. A per contra account, the article departs from this wider theme and attempts to explore from the perspective of ecological narration. It depicts the picture of the exploitation of nature for the sake of the greed of human beings. To this end, the article attempts to spotlight on the anthropocentric attitude towards nature through a few aspects such as the advancement in science and technology–in the form of bombs–leads to self-destruction, the colonial attitude, and the climate change because of the onslaught on nature which leads to ecological degradation. These are the theoretical underpinnings to analyse the novel.

Authors: Kulandaivel D.
Published: June 2023

Abstract: The data gathered from the field study and different parameter recorders connected to the data acquisition system of the distributed control system panel for measuring flow, pressure, and temperature are subject to typical systematic instrumentation measurement uncertainties with regard to the primary measuring elements, sensors, transducers, amplifiers, digital converters, and recorders, as well as the effects of the environment. The acceptability of data is statistically confirmed by taking into account the unpredictability of the inaccuracy in recorded parameters for temperature, pressure, and flow measurement. The statistical output on the measured and expected air flow through the APH (ma) in relation to different AAT (Tae) is summarized

Abstract: Structural Analysis is a branch which includes in the determination of conduct of constructions to anticipate the reactions of various underlying segments because of the impact of loads. Every single construction will be exposed to possibly one or the gatherings of loads, the different sorts of loads typically considered are dead loads, live loads, wind load IS:875-1987 Part1, 2, 3, seismic load (IS:1893-2016). ETABS (Extended Three-Dimensional Analysis of Building System) is a product which is joined with all the significant forces that are static, dynamic, Linear and non-direct, and so on. This Computer programming's are additionally being utilized for the computation of forces, bending moment, stress, strain &deformation or diversion for a complex underlying framework and this software is utilized to design and plan the structures. The study of this project is to analyse & design of Reinforced Concrete building using Etabs. By this project, it has been checked that the displacement of the building seems to be within permissible limit'. The Structure has been designed as per Indian Codes & by laws provided by that area. In this paper, an analysis has been done on the storey height of a building situated in zone V, keeping the base dimensions constant, to find the maximum bending and shear forces at the design for earthquake load, using the software ETABS. For earthquake loads, both dynamic and static analysis has been done. The analysis for seismic loads has been carried out. Thereafter, the graphs for different values displacement at all the storey drifts, due to earthquake load (EQ) have been plotted.

Abstract: The industrial waste contains many inorganic and toxic substances far away the acceptable limit which cause an impact on the environment. Scarcity of the const. materials used the natural resources like sand aggregates and stone aggregate. The partial replacement of aggregates is need for the future generation of concrete structures for the environment supportable. The partial replacement of aggregates is need for the future generation of concrete structures for the environment supportable. The depletion of the natural resources gets exhausted. We have think over the alternate replacement of the materials. In present work the partial replacement of the GSA,SBA with the Cement and the addition of asbestos fiber. Optimum value of strength in compression, split tensile and flexure came at GSA,SBA 12% replacement with the Cement and addition of asbestos fiber 0.5%. The workability of mixture increases and after that there is decrease in the workability of the concrete when we increase the percentage of GSA,SBA with the Cement. A series of experiment were carried out to measure the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete. The results showed that the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength increases with the adding of the GSA,SBA with Cement and the addition of asbestos fiber.
Design and Manufacturing of Electronic Detachable Wheelchair
Authors: Nanekar Om Sunil
Published: June 2023

Abstract: The electric-powered wheelchair is a wheelchair that is propelled by means of an electric motor rather than manual power. Motorized wheelchairs are useful for those who are not able to impel a manual wheelchair or who may need to employ a wheelchair for distances or over terrain which would be strenuous in a manual wheelchair. They may also be used not just by people with conventional mobility impairments, but also by people with cardiovascular and fatigue-based conditions. Electric wheelchairs have enhanced the quality of life for many people with physical disabilities through the mobility they afford. The selection of power chair will rely on many factors; including the kind of surface setting the chair will be driven over, the need to settle thresholds and curbs, and clearance widths in accustomed environment. The most fundamental job of the chair is to take input from the user, usually in the form of a small joystick, and decipher that motion into power to the wheels to move the person in the preferred direction. The last few years have seen abundant improvements and models that give the user unmatched control of the wheelchair in terms of both user effort and vehicle aptitude

Published: June 2023

Abstract: Variations in temperature have an impact on both stiff and flexible pavements. Although the main component of pavements is crushed stone aggregate, which is not temperature-sensitive, the binder that holds the aggregates together is more temperature-sensitive. Pavements made of Portland cement concrete (PCC) that are cast in the field experience volume fluctuations as a result of changes in temperature and moisture. Utilize sensors to examine the impact of temperature and moisture change on stiff pavement. Analyze the technical and physical characteristics of sensors. locating sensors in solid pavement in order to get accurate data. This research aims to analyze temperature differences for stiff pavement (mainly for the PQC layer). Table 1 in IRC:58-2015 lists the temperature differences for several Indian areas. In order to design pavement slabs of varied thicknesses, it offers temperature differential values. However, the table's footer also states that the data was collected in 1974 by the Government Road Experiment Station in New Delhi. This analysis is done to compare the temperature difference between that table, which is over 50 years old, and the present temperature. It has been noted that temperature measurements obtained from a temperature sensor closely match the information provided by the metrological department. (Data on temperatures from July to November) Data from the prior 10 years are collected for further examination when data from the IMD is confirmed to be the same (2012 to 2021). The temperature disparity over the next 10 years is forecasted using those data (2022 to 2031). When compared to IRC, data have revealed a rise in the minimum and maximum temperature disparity.
