Authors: - Lopalata Saikia
Published: December 2024

India, a nation renowned for its rich cultural heritage, is a mosaic of languages, each with its unique history, literature, and artistic traditions. This research delves into the intricate relationship between language, culture, and the Indian knowledge system, exploring the challenges and opportunities posed by linguistic diversity in the 21st century. A central theme of this research is the impact of
globalization, urbanization, and technological advancements on the preservation and transmission of Indian languages. We will examine the dominance of English, the decline of regional languages, and
the potential of artificial intelligence to preserve and erode linguistic diversity. The paper will also explore the role of language in shaping cultural identity and social structures. By analysing the diverse linguistic landscape of India, we will discuss how language can unite and divide communities. We
will also examine the importance of multilingual education in fostering intercultural understanding and promoting social justice. To illustrate the challenges faced by India's education system, we will analyse the popular Bollywood
film 3 Idiots. This film critiques the rigid and outdated education system, often prioritizing rote
learning over critical thinking. By examining the film's portrayal of language, culture, and individual
expression, we can gain valuable insights into the impact of education policies on language use and cultural identity.
The ultimate objective of this research is to advance knowledge of the intricate relationships that exist in India between language, culture, and society. In the face of rapid technological development and
globalization, we may create ways to maintain linguistic diversity and foster intercultural
understanding by investigating the historical, cultural, and technological elements that influence language use and cultural practices.

Management of Khalitya with Nilibhrungarajadi Taila - A case study
Authors: - Gopika Murali , - D B Vaghela
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Hair fall is a universal problem, affecting both sexes of all races. Ayurvedic remedies are popular for men and women with hair loss because they incorporate natural ingredients and have been an effective cure for hair fall since ancient times. In Ayurveda, Khalitya (Hair fall) comes under the title of Shiroroga (diseases of the head) and Kshudraroga (minor skin diseases). Excessive intake of tea, coffee, alcohol, fried food, spicy food, overstress, improper hair care, excessive use of synthetic hair care products, hot climatic conditions, and continuous exposure to dust are the common causes of Khalitya. A 22-year-old female patient came to OPD of the department of Shalakya Tantra with chief complaints of Khalitya (Hair fall), kesha rukshata (dryness of hair) and kesha tanutva (thinness of hair) on the left frontal side of the scalp. Nilibhrungarajadi tailam was advised for external application and general hair care in this case. Nilibhrungarajadi tailam is an Ayurvedic formulation prepared from medicinal herbs and coconut oil. Progress provided by this remedy was assessed based on the signs and symptoms of the patient before and after the treatment. Abhyanga (head message) using Nilibhrungarajadi tailam showed significant improvement in blood circulation, natural growth and shine of the hair.

Freezing precipitation in European Russia in 1979-2022 and its reproduction by the ERA5 reanalysis
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Leonov I.I.
Published: December 2024

The quality of reproduction of freezing precipitation by the ERA5 reanalysis in European Russia is assessed. The analysis was performed using the data of the main 3 hour observations of weather phenomena and the ERA5 atmospheric reanalysis data with a step of 0.25° in space and 1 hour in time. The maps of the average number of days with freezing precipitation in the form of drizzle, rain, and their combination were drawn for the period from 1979 to 2022. Similar maps of the average number of days with freezing rain were obtained from the ERA5 data on the precipitation type. It is shown that the ERA5 successfully reproduces individual cases of high-intensity freezing precipitation formed under the stratification of the “warm nose” type. When comparing the reanalysis data on the number of simulated cases of freezing rain with observational data from 214 meteorological stations, the coefficient of determination R2 was 0.291 for freezing rain and 0.14 for freezing drizzle. The low values of the coefficients of determination are related to the fact that the formation of freezing rain in the ERA5 is possible only in the presence of a melting layer, due to which the predominant number of cases of freezing precipitation occurring in a completely cold atmosphere is not reproduced by the reanalysis. The ERA5 data on the precipitation type are most useful for analyzing the conditions of high-intensity freezing rain formed according to the “classic mechanism”.
Assessment of changes in the hydrological regime of a raised bog under conditions of expected climate change during the period until 2060: A case study for the Lammin-Suo bog
Authors:   State Hydrological Institute, Zhuravleva A.D.
Published: December 2024

The paper assesses expected changes in the hydrological regime of a typical raised bog in Northwestern Russia, taking into account various climatic scenarios. The object of the study is the Lammin-Suo raised bog (the Leningrad region), where routine meteorological and hydrological observations have been carried out since 1950. The HBV conceptual hydrological model was used in studying the process of formation of runoff from the bog. For taking into account expected climate change in the region, an analysis based on the results of the CMIP6 climate modeling project was carried out. Calculations are presented for two scenarios of socioeconomic development: SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5. Based on simulated data on the volume of runoff from the raised bog, its level regime was assessed until 2060, and a forecast of related changes in bog microlandscapes was given.

Authors:   Marchuk Institute of Numerical Mathematics RAS, Gritsun A.S.
Published: December 2024

The analysis of the quality of ultra-long-term forecasts with 1-5 year lead time of the monthly and annual precipitation sums, the average monthly and average annual surface air temperature obtained using the INM-CM5 climate model’s outputs is performed. Series of verification forecasts for the period from 1991 to 2023 were used. Forecasts were checked for 12 river basins located in different parts of Russia.
To eliminate systematic forecast errors used a method for correcting, which reduces the error of ultra-long-term precipitation forecasts by almost two times, and air temperatures by almost three times. Forecasts of intra-annual precipitation distribution were satisfactory for 8 out of 12 river basins. Forecasts of the intra-annual distribution of air temperature were good for all 12 river basins.
Demonstrated, that the INM-CM5 climate model outputs can be used for ultra-long-term forecasting of monthly and annual precipitation, average monthly and average annual air temperature.
Turbulent length scales in urban canopy flow and their relation to velocity fluctuation spectra
Authors:   Marchuk Institute of Numerical Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Glazunov A.V.
Published: December 2024

This study presents results of numerical experiments of neutrally-stratified turbulent flows over idealized urban surfaces using a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) model. It is shown that the turbulent length scales necessary for the formulation of multilayer local one-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) models of the urban canopy are related to the spatial spectra of turbulence. An algorithm based on the application of Taylor's frozen turbulence hypothesis is proposed to compute an analog of the spatial velocity spectrum inside an urban layer containing objects («buildings»). A qualitative explanation of the dependence of length scales on the morphological characteristics of the urban surface is given.
Approximate solutions to the multiple-choice knapsack problem by multiobjectivization and Chebyshev scalarization
Authors: Bednarczuk Ewa M. , Kaliszewski Ignacy , Miroforidis Janusz
Published: December 2024

The method BISSA, proposed by Bednarczuk, Miroforidis, and Pyzel, provides approximate solutions to the multiple-choice knapsack problem. To fathom the optimality gap that is left by BISSA, we present a method that starts from the BISSA16 solution and it is able to provide a better approximation and in consequence a tighter optimality gap. Like BISSA, the new method is based on the multiobjectivization of the multiple-choice knapsack problem but instead of the linear scalarization used in BISSA, it makes use of the Chebyshev scalarization. We validate the new method on the same set of problems as the one used to validate BISSA.
Optimization and decision-making for a service contract on machine maintenance
Authors: Zeyu Luo  , Zhixin Yang  , Jinbiao Wu  , Zhaotong Lian
Published: December 2024

We investigate a novel maintenance service contract model. The service provider of the machine must determine the optimal pricing structure and staffing levels, while the client selects an appropriate plan for the warranty duration. We consider linear, quadratic, polynomial, and exponential pricing functions for three types of warranties. By building a service model with a non-cooperative game, we obtain the Nash equilibrium of the bargaining solution. Numerical analysis reveals that the optimal warranty period decreases monotonically with service provider revenue and increases monotonically with the maximum prospective service time. Additionally, the market size does not affect the ideal warranty duration when the machine’s lifetime is constant.
The kinetic study of refractory silver ore in acidified potassium chloride - hypochlorite media
Authors: Canıeren Ömer , Kurama Haldun , Karaguzel Cengiz
Published: December 2024

In this study, the dissolution of refractory silver ore samples obtained from the Kütahya Gümüşköy region in HCl/NaOCl and KCl system was investigated. Chemical and morphological analyzes of the sample show that ore consists mainly of quartz, dolomite, barite and clay. Silver is dispersed as free fine particles or locked in barite and quartz minerals. The leaching tests were carried out under ambient conditions with direct contact of the solvent reagent and sample. Temperature, time, and KCl concentration were examined as leaching parameters to elucidate their effects on silver extraction. The results obtained in leaching tests indicated that dissolution of silver occurs very quickly, almost linearly, within the first minute of the reaction. After this point, the dissolution rate decreases and reaches equilibrium after 10 minutes. It was found that increasing both temperature and KCl concentrations have a positive effect on extraction. These effects become more evident in first stage, especially at high salt concentrations (1 M). The experimental results showed that the highest silver extraction of 53.15% was obtained under the following conditions: Temperature of 85oC, leaching time of 10 min, concentrations of 0.5 M and 0.1 M for KCl and NaOCl, respectively, solid ratio of 30%, and particle size (d80) 15 µm. The kinetics of AgCl dissolution was specificially studied using aforementioned leaching system as well. The reaction rates, kinetic orders and activation energies were calculated. Correspondingly, a general kinetic model describing leaching systems based on shrinking core was proposed as a rate-controlling model for the dissolution mechanism.

Authors: Hidalgo Elena , González-Torralba Ana , Ramón Jimena , Alós Juan-Ignacio
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Escherichia coli is isolated in most of uncomplicated community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTI) and fosfomycin is one of the treatments of choice. We analyzed the evolution of fosfomycin resistance in extrahospitalary E. coli urinary isolates and whether age and extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production were associated to antibiotic resistance. Methods. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted from January 2017 to December 2022 including E. coli isolates from extrahospitalary urine samples. Results. The susceptibility to fosfomycin remained above 95% during the study period. ESBL production and age above 80 years were significantly associated with increased fosfomycin resistance. We also analyzed the consumption of fosfomycin and it remained stable, although it was higher in the population >65 years. Conclusions. Greater resistance is observed in ESBL-producing strains and in patients over 65 years of age. A stable consumption of fosfomycin is associated with low resistance percentages maintained over the time.

The biostratigraphic puzzle of Bou Hanifia (latest Miocene, Algeria, Terrestrial fauna)
Authors: Pickford Martin , Chaïd-Saoudi Yasmina
Published: December 2024

Studies during the 1970’s and 1980’s concluded that the continental Bou Hanifia Formation spanned the Vallesian and Turolian stages, the majority early opinion being that it was basal Vallesian and that it had yielded the oldest known remnants of the equid Hipparion from Africa. This opinion was taken to be backed-up by radio-isotopic age determinations of ca. 12.2 Ma obtained from volcanic tuffs that were originally mapped as being near the base of the formation. However, later suggestions in the literature indicated that some of the large mammals could be as young as late Turolian to Ventian (8–7 Ma). If so, then a major revision of North African biostratigraphy would be required. This paper focuses on the large mammals and avian eggshells recovered from the Bou Hanifia region, taking into account recent revisions of African faunas and a much augmented data base about their stratigraphic distribution, and it is concluded that the Bou Hanifia fossils have the closest relations to material from the late Turolian and Ventian Stages, and are thus likely to be of latest Miocene (Ventian) age (MN 13).

Quand les élèves sont invités à traduire et à comparer des unités lexicales dans différentes langues
Authors: Maynard Catherine , Thibeault Joël
Published: December 2024

Dans cet article, nous présentons les résultats d’une étude descriptive et exploratoire ayant pour objectif de rendre compte des pratiques plurilingues auxquelles recourent des enseignantes du Québec et de l’Ontario francophone pour enseigner le lexique. Plus particulièrement, grâce à l’analyse thématique de données issues d’entretiens individuels, nous nous arrêtons aux moments où les personnes participantes ont déclaré inviter les élèves à traduire des unités lexicales et à les comparer dans plusieurs langues. Les résultats montrent non seulement que ces traductions et ces comparaisons interlinguistiques peuvent se mettre en œuvre selon différentes modalités (p. ex., planifiée ou spontanée; en plénière, individuellement ou en petits groupes), mais aussi que diverses notions lexicales (p. ex., les congénères, les expressions idiomatiques) sont interpellées lorsque les élèves s’engagent dans ce travail. Ils nous amènent ainsi à relever comment des enseignantes œuvrant dans une variété de contextes éducatifs s’approprient les propositions issues de la recherche sur les approches plurilingues tout en édifiant un pont entre ce domaine de recherche et celui de la didactique du lexique.
Investigar haciendo extensión, a través de la pesquisa cartográfica
Authors: Diez Tetamanti Juan Manuel
Published: December 2024

En este texto reflexiono sobre la posibilidad de integrar investigación y extensión universitaria a través de la cartografía social, una práctica que nos ha permitido establecer diálogos transformadores con diversos territorios y sujetos sociales. Desde nuestra experiencia en la Cátedra Libre de Cartografía Social, hacemos hincapié en cómo la extensión, históricamente subvalorada, ha crecido hasta convertirse en una actividad fundamental dentro de las universidades, enriqueciendo nuestra labor como investigadores y fortaleciendo los lazos con las comunidades. A través de la pesquisa cartográfica, hemos explorado nuevas formas de comprender y organizar el mundo, guiados por encuentros con lo sensible y por metodologías colectivas. Inspirándonos en autores como Deleuze y Guattari, reconocemos al método cartográfico como un mecanismo facilitador que no sólo genera significados compartidos, sino que también fomenta conversaciones e intercambios, abriendo líneas de fuga frente a las estructuras académicas tradicionales. Entendemos que las cartografías sociales, los sociocartogramas y las biocartografías son más que simples representaciones: son procesos colectivos que amplían nuestras posibilidades de conocimiento y acción. Estas herramientas, basadas en la interacción con otros, nos han permitido co-construir sentidos a partir de las heterogeneidades y experiencias compartidas. Finalmente, destaco la importancia de mantenernos abiertos a lo imprevisible en nuestras prácticas de extensión como insumos de aprendizaje. Es en estos encuentros, siempre diversos y desafiantes, donde se enriquece nuestro quehacer académico y social, consolidando un vínculo dinámico entre la universidad y la comunidad.
FUNDAMENTOS Y APLICACIONES DE LA CONSEJERÍA PSICOLÓGICA EN LA EDUCACIÓN SUPERIOR
Authors: Cossio-Ale de Preciado Ana María
Published: December 2024

Para esta investigación se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura a partir de estudios publicados en las bases de datos Medline, PubMed, WoS y Scopus, con el objetivo de analizar cómo funcionan los servicios de consejería psicológica en educación superior, y así establecer su importancia para la comunidad estudiantil. Para el proceso de búsqueda se utilizó la metodología Prisma y se establecieron criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Fueron seleccionados 19 artículos científicos de 1111 publicados entre los años 2014 al 2024. Los resultados mostraron que la mayor producción científica en torno a la temática se da en los Estados Unidos, así como en Portugal y Jordania; además, Scopus fue la base de datos con mayor número de documentos publicados, sobre todo en inglés. Se concluye que la consejería psicológica a nivel superior es de suma importancia porque los estudiantes se encuentran en una etapa de difícil adaptación, lo cual se debe, entre otros factores, al cambio de modalidad educativa, la inequidad y desigualdad en materia educativa, problemas emocionales como la depresión y la ansiedad, desprendimiento familiar y, en algunas oportunidades, presencia de serios conflictos particulares que afectan la salud mental del estudiante. En vista de esta realidad observada en diferentes países del mundo, se hace imprescindible que las universidades potencien los servicios de asesoría y consejería psicológica, proporcionando intervenciones en las cuales se ejecuten programas de orientación, apoyo y formulación de acciones prácticas que puedan ayudar al estudiante a superar las crisis.

Hyper-immunoglobulin E syndromes (HIES), also known as Job's syndrome, is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by elevated serum IgE levels, recurrent cutaneous and sinopulmonary infections, and chronic eczematous dermatitis. The condition can manifest in two familial forms: autosomal dominant (AD-HIES) and autosomal recessive (AR-HIES), with most cases being sporadic. Herein we present the case of a patient with HIES associated with a mutation in the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gene. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the clinical manifestations of HIES in neonates. Early diagnosis through clinical evaluation and genetic testing is crucial for effective management and improving the quality of life for affected individuals.

Introduction. For partial edentities there are several treatment plan options, dental implants are an excellent restorative option for patients with missing teeth, but not all patients can tolerate implants or cannot afford this treatment plan option. That is why partial prostheses are a much more affordable option in the case of partial edentulous teeth. Background and objectives. The purpose of this study is to highlight in particular the benefits of the flexible partial prosthesis viewed individually or in comparison with the traditional acrylic partial prosthesis. Materials and methods. Between May 2023 and May 2024, 20 patients were selected for this study. Of these, there were patients who were already wearers of traditional acrylate prostheses and who were not satisfied with the traditional prostheses, and the rest presented themselves in the clinic with partial edentulousness and were treated for the first time with partial flexible prostheses. Results. The former wearers of traditional prostheses immediately felt the improvement after applying the flexible prosthesis in the oral cavity, and the patients who benefited from the flexible prosthesis for the first time quickly tolerated wearing it. Conclusions. Flexible partial dentures are not for everyone, but they are an excellent and affordable solutions for many edentulous cases. These prosthetics have their pros and cons, but as the materials evolve and improve, so too might the advantages and drawbacks.

Towards decolonising the approaches of teaching and learning Indigenous African Music at a South African university: Insights from pre-service music teachers
Authors: Ngoma Kutala
Published: December 2024

The teaching of Indigenous African Music (IAM) in institutions of higher learning has received considerable attention due to the need to decolonise the curriculum. It is crucial to cultivate future educators who have a profound understanding of IAM and are capable of actively participating in the teaching and learning of African music within educational institutions. This inquiry aims to reveal the impact of the approaches used in the teaching and learning of IAM at universities in South Africa from the perspective of pre-service music teachers. The study is underpinned by Paulo Freire’s praxial theory. Data were collected from twelve participants within an interpretive paradigm integrated into a qualitative methodology. The ethnographic study design was used due to its capacity to capture the lived experiences of the participants and to comprehend the meanings they attribute to their participation in IAM lessons. Thematic analysis of journal entries and semi-structured interviews was employed to generate the data. The results unveiled the advantages of utilising a wide range of models, delivery methods, and approaches such as Ubuntu pedagogy, discussion groups and dialogue, the instructor’s approach, peer coaching, and the development of positive attitudes towards the teaching and learning of IAM in higher education. It is recommended that pedagogical strategies that foster positive attitudes and elevate IAM in music teacher preparation programmes be implemented in institutions of higher learning through the use of the approaches that emerged in this study, in an effort to remove barriers related to the marginalisation and discrimination of the subject.

Published: December 2024

One of the most critical tasks of special and inclusive education in the current context of education system reform is the social and pedagogical support of children with disabilities to enhance personal development. The personal development of learners with disabilities is a critical area of focus in contemporary education. The study explored the pedagogical practices used to improve the personal development of learners with disabilities in inclusive classes. It adopted an interpretive paradigm, a qualitative research approach, and a case study research design. Fourteen participants were purposively selected from the population: head teachers, teachers, and learners with disabilities of two schools in the High Glen district, Zimbabwe. This study collected data from semi-structured interviews, observations, and focus group discussions. Data were analysed through thematic analysis. Results indicated that positive reinforcement, individualised instructions, creating relationships, engaging learners in different roles and activities, promoting learner-learner, and using role models could be considered pedagogical practices to enhance the personal development of learners with disabilities. The results also found the challenges in implementing these practices, such as the lack of teachers’ frustrations and government and parental support. This study recommended that all stakeholders, including the government and the parents, provide support systems for learners with disabilities.
