Analysis of MHD Richardson Flow Past An Exponentially Stretched Infinite Plate with Suction and Cross-Diffusion Effects
Authors: UKA Uchenna , MEBINE Promise , AGUNBIADE Samson
Published: December 2023

The present paper investigate the effects of magnetic field (MHD), Richardson and suction on an exponentially expanded infinite plate by studying the convective heat and mass transfer of a non-Newtonian incompressible viscous and electrically conducting fluid. Cross-diffusion impacts are also taken into consideration. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations through the application of well-posed similarity transformation variables (STVs). Thus, the transformed dimensionless equations are solved analytically by integrating factor approach and the resulting solutions are simulated with an efficient stability numerical algorithm known as Mathematica. The results are displayed in tabular and graphical forms while the effects of various parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration, skin–friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed in details. It was found that velocity falls when magnetic field and suction parameters increase. Also, the temperature and nanoparticle concentration decreases as suction number rises but are enhanced as diffusion-thermo and thermal-diffusivity parameters rise. An increase in Richardson and Prandtl numbers leads to a decrease in skin-friction and upsurge in the rate of heat transportation. The results of this study can be used to advance the design, operation, and performance of various systems encountered in industrial and scientific applications.

On some fundamental problems in the study of Balkan prehistory
Authors: Govedarica Blagoje
Published: December 2023

No other discipline is determined by external issues to such a degree as is archaeology. Let it suffice to mention the fact that very important archaeological finds are usually not discovered by archaeologists, but by amateurs and farmers in fields. Further, the direction of archaeological investigations is generally not defined by scientific reason, but by cultural, political and economic interests, including tourism and construction activity. Hence, one consequence is the lack of systematic research strategy. This inevitably leads to a poorly argued scientific synthesis, which has to be corrected every few years, or completely rejected. Such problems burden archaeological practice in all parts of Europe, yet the discipline has still not developed a comprehensive strategy for the systematic resolution of these issues. Due to a combination of different circumstances, all of these problems are particularly prominent in the study of prehistory of the Balkans, and this will become apparent from the tree examples presented in the paper.
Mobilnost elita u rimskoj provinciji Dalmaciji
Authors: Marić Almir
Published: December 2023

Širom nekadašnjeg Rimskog carstva otkriven je veliki broj epigrafskih spomenika na kojima se spominju funkcioneri u municipijima i kolonijama koji su bili pripadnici društvenih struktura koje označavamo sintagmom lokalne elite. Među njima se ističe kategorija uglednika koji su obavljali važne funkcije u nekoliko upravnih centara unutar iste provincije. U provinciji Dalmaciji također postoje primjeri lokalnih dostojanstvenika koji su bili na najvažnijim upravnim i svećeničkim funkcijama u različitim municipalnim centrima. Ova vrsta kretanja može se svrstati pod sintagmu geografska mobilnost, koja se u literaturi najčešće spominje u radovima koji tretiraju područje rimske Hispanije. Pod ovim pojmom uključene su u istu kategoriju različite vrste mobilnosti, od lokalne administracije, zatim mobilnost pripadnika legija i pomoćnih jedinica, do mobilnosti zbog određenih vjerskih razloga. Među prvim autorima geografsku mobilnost španskih provincija u doba principata obrađivao je u svojoj disertaciji Evan Woodruff Haley, koji je, između ostalog, analizirao geografsku mobilnost lokalne administracije u rimskoj Španiji. Haley je osobe koje obavljaju svećeničku ili magistratsku dužnost u više mjesta označio kao intrageneracijske migrante, gdje su još spadali provincijski svećenici, incolae, uvezeni robovi i vojnici. Ne postoji jedinstveno objašnjenje zbog čega je dolazilo do ove vrste mobilnosti provincijskih elita u rimskom svijetu. Razlozi mogu biti jednostavni poput trajne promjene prebivališta ili mogu odražavati geografske, ekonomske, sentimentalne, političke ili porodične veze, u bilo kojoj kombinaciji.
Problem ubikacije Bestoenske biskupije (Ecclesia Bestoensis) – prilog poznavanju ranog kršćanstva na tlu Bosne i Hercegovine
Authors: Veletovac Edin
Published: December 2023

O postojanju bestoenske biskupije zna se samo na osnovu akata dva salonitanska sabora iz 530. i 533. godine. Njen biskup Andrija (Andreas) prisustvovao je u oba navrata, prilikom kojih su on i njegova dijeceza imali značajnu ulogu u vođenim diskusijama. Prvi put, bestoenska biskupija spominje se u uvodnom govoru Honorija II 530. godine, gdje se navodi da je u njoj vladalo veliko siromaštvo, te da nije mogla pomoći ne samo drugima nego ni samoj sebi. U drugom slučaju, na saboru 533. godine, Andrija je zatražio od Honorija II da se bestoenska biskupija od mjesta Kopele (Copella) i Arene (Arena), pa sve do gradova i bazilika za koje je on nadležan podijeli i na tom području postavi još jedan biskup, a sve u cilju bolje skrbi nad sveštenstvom i stanovništvom koje se nalazi pod njegovom jurisdikcijom.

Authors: A. Lami Radi , A. Saki Tahseen , A. Abbood Hayder
Published: December 2023

In petroleum processes oil and gas wells need to be cased and cemented to ensure the wellbore's stability and to divide trouble zones. To accomplish these tasks and increase the stability of a cement matrix, numerous substances are added to the cement slurry. A two green co-polymers Poly (citric acid-co-ethylene glycol) (PCCE), and Poly (Tartaric acid-co-Glycerol) (PTCG) as a cement retarder was prepared by polycondensation reaction. The prepared co-polymers were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H1-NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Results showed that all prepared copolymers have excellent thermal stability. PCCE and PTCG copolymer shows a promising thickening time reached to 195 and 175 min compares to free cement -G (110 min) under schedule 5 (sch.5) conditions. This finding indicates the capability of copolymers to use as retarders in oil well cementing.

Published: December 2023

The array of problems originating from slum settlements not only result in unwholesome environments, unlawful land utilization, and various internal challenges within the vicinity but also exert an impact on the surrounding regions and the overall urban infrastructure network. In pursuit of Indonesia's 2045 Vision, which emphasizes "Equitable and Integrated Infrastructure Development," the Zero Slums constitutes a pivotal component of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing's overarching vision. Nonetheless, a disparity has been identified in addressing slum settlements in West Kalimantan, hindering the achievement of this objective. This research aims to identify the stakeholders and the priority factors in determining the priority setting for slum area management in West Kalimantan. The method used in this research is semi-structured interview to identify and map stakeholders involved in priority setting, and geometric mean to identify influential factors which will then be analyzed by Interpretative Structural Modeling. The results found are that there are 24 stakeholders who are considered involved. Quadrant D (Manage Closely) stakeholders and primary stakeholders are members of the Supervisory Team, namely the Head of the Housing and Settlement Area Office (DPRKP), and the Head of the Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA). However, the highest level of influence is held by the Steering Committee and the highest level of interest is held by DPRKP. Ten categories with 22 factors were identified, and there are 9 ranking levels that influenced the decision to prioritize slum upgrading. The most influential factor is the difference in knowledge and experience of new and former Team Members.

Based on our own practical experience and data from scientific literature, we can assert that measuring the ratio of albumin to creatinine and calculating the glomerular filtration rate are important tools for the timely diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD), monitoring treatment effectiveness, and determining the dynamics of a patient’s renal condition. Early diagnosis of CKD allows us to take necessary measures to slow down or even halt the progression of the disease. By timely administering nephroprotective drugs, such as SGLT-2 inhibitors, we can improve the prognosis and quality of life for patients, which holds medical, social, and economic significance.
How Does Investment Promotion Affect FDI Inflows? Empirical Evidence from Asian Countries
Authors: Vinh Cao Thi Hong , Thao Ha Phuong , Huong Doan Thi Thu
Published: December 2023

Despite the fact that investment promotion plays an important role for recipient countries to attract FDI, there has not been much research in the case of Asian countries – which are gradually becoming attractive destinations for FDI investors. To bridge this gap, by utilizing Dunning’s location advantage and UNCTAD’s host country determinant framework, using the data of 20 Asian countries from 2006-2021, and looking into investment promotion from the perspective of budget, our paper found that investment promotion budgets have a significantly positive impact on FDI in these Asian countries. In addition, while the FDI effect is significant in high investment promotion budget countries, it is insignificant in low budget countries. This implies the considerable role of the spent budget of countries for FDI attraction.

Repositioning the Base Level of Bibliographic Relationships: Or, a Cataloguer, a Post-Modernist and a Chatbot Walk Into a Bar
Authors: Campbell D. Grant , Mayhew Alex
Published: December 2023

Designers and maintainers of library catalogues are facing fresh challenges representing bibliographic relationships, due both to changes in cataloguing standards and to a broader information environment that has grown increasingly diverse, sophisticated and complex. This paper presents three different paradigms, drawn from three different fields of study, for representing relationships between bibliographic entities beyond the FRBR/LRM models: superworks, as developed in information studies; adaptation, as developed in literary studies; and artificial intelligence, as developed in computer science. Theories of literary adaptation remain focused on “the work,” as traditionally conceived. The concept of the superwork reminds us that there are some works which serve as ancestors for entire families of works, and that those familial relationships are still useful. Crowd-sourcing projects often make more granular connections, a trend which has escalated significantly with current and emerging artificial intelligence systems. While the artificial intelligence paradigm is proving more pervasive outside conventional library systems, it could lead to a seismic shift in knowl­edge organization, a shift in which the power both to arrange information and to use it are moving beyond the control of users and intermediaries alike.

Authors: Akbaba Cihat Ediz , Dişken Gökay
Published: December 2023

Indoor air quality is crucial for the sustainability of human life quality. Therefore, improving indoor air quality is critical for enhancing life quality. In this study, an artificial intelligence-based indoor air quality monitoring system is designed. The system consists of two main parts, hardware and software. The hardware part includes a control card and various sensors. The software part includes a C-based IDE software and a feedforward network, a deep learning algorithm, for establishing the connection between the control card and the sensors. The temperature, humidity, and gas concentration values obtained from the sensors at certain intervals were fed to the feedforward network's input layer through the control card. The feedforward network consists of the input layer, hidden layer, and output layer, and the decision on whether the air quality is normal or not was made at the output. The system described in this study is intended to provide a real-time monitoring solution for indoor air quality. By using a feedforward neural network, the system is able to learn patterns in the sensor data and detect changes in air quality that may indicate a problem. The system can be customized to suit the needs of different environments and can be used in a variety of settings, including homes, offices, and public spaces. Ultimately, the goal of the system is to improve human health and well-being by ensuring that indoor air quality is at a safe and healthy level.

Published: December 2023

Unmanned aerial vehicle technological improvement has had a direct influence on today's warfare. As today's battles take place in cities, the distinction between civilians and soldiers has grown increasingly hazy. There is a wealth of literature on autonomy and ethical concerns concerning autonomous weapon systems. Unmanned aerial vehicles must contend with a slew of security risks, ranging from electronic jammers to missile strikes. The societal acceptance of these techniques, ethical value judgments, and long-term consequences are all important topics to discuss. Unmanned aerial vehicles have a wide range of applications in the military, from gathering intelligence to destroying targets, and in the civilian arena, from agriculture to photography. Furthermore, unmanned aerial vehicles have the potential to be used not just for military or commercial goals, but also for international crimes. Nowadays unmanned aerial vehicles are used in electronic warfare to monitor enemy positions, prevent their communications by jamming systems, instantly monitor the country's border security, render the electronic systems of the determined targets inoperable, and listen for information via communication systems. Under the conditions specified above, the study seeks to provide a hybrid approach to unmanned aerial vehicles. The cybersecurity of unmanned aerial vehicles, software security, physical security, and social and cultural security will all be handled from a single point of view.
Adversarial Defense: A GAN-IF Based Cyber-security Model for Intrusion Detection in Software Piracy
Authors: U. Kumaran , S. Thangam , Prabhakar T.V. Nidhin , Selvaganesan Jana , H.N. Vishwas
Published: December 2023

Software-piracy continues to be most critical distress, posing grave threats to digital-assets and financial stability. Traditional Intrusion Detection systems (IDS) often battles hard to identify latest piracy attempts owing to their dependence on pre-established patterns. To effectively address this we attempt to suggest innovative approach leveraging DL based Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and ML based Isolation Forest (IF) for detecting software piracies. Our proposed GAN-IF based cyber-security model performs its functions by training a Generator network to mimic the behavior of genuine software applications. Discriminator network discriminates between legitimate and pirated software. Isolation Forests assists in detecting anomalies in diverse conditions, including unseen attacks. Integrated training based on DL and ML framework enables efficient learning and adaptation with respect to piracy challenges, making it highly-successful against prior known threats. There are several DL models which are utilized in IDS operations having limitations in terms of robustness, interpretability. Utilizing GAN in the context of cyber-security to combat software-piracy can have noteworthy merits since GANs can precisely identify forged software as they are skilled at generating fake content resembling actual. Training a GAN on legitimate software, helps to learn and identify disparities in pirated versions. Isolation-Forest can detect anomalies in software distribution networks or user behavior with respect to software usage by recognizing abnormal patterns indicating software piracy, like illegal access or sharing of software licenses. Our proposed model combines GANs and Isolation Forests, excels at accurately detecting subtle indicators of software piracy, a capability that traditional methods may fail to recognize. ML-DL integrated model continuously learns and updates its detection capabilities in response to evolving piracy tactics, making it resilient against zero-day attacks, polymorphic malware. Through adversarial training, ml-model minimizes false alarms and focuses only on genuine threats. In our evaluation, we demonstrate the effectiveness of GAN-IF based cyber-security model in detecting software piracy attempts across various scenarios. Results indicate that our approach outperforms traditional solutions in terms of detection accuracy and adaptability.

This research aims to discuss the periodization model of the history of civilization and the development phases of Islamic education. The historical periodization of Islamic civilization and Islamic education developed simultaneously because education existed because of the existence of a civilization. Islamic civilization and education began with the presence of Islam in Mecca. The Prophet established that Islamic education is based on the Koran and Hadith so that all the values of Islamic education are found in the Koran. Harun Nasution divides the history of Islamic civilization into three periods, namely the classical period, the medieval period and the modern period. The development of Islamic education goes hand in hand with the historical development of Islamic civilization. In the classical period, Islamic education was centered on the Prophet, Khulfaur Rasyidin, the Umayyad daulah and the Abbasid daulah. In the middle period, Islamic education focused on three large empires, namely the Ottoman Empire in Turkey, the Safavid empire in Persia and the Mughal empire in India. Meanwhile, in the modern period Islamic education experienced significant changes because in the medieval period Islam experienced decline. Islamic education was born with a new face to develop Islamic education in various aspects.

الحاجة لدراسة علم أصول الفقه والخوض في البحث بمسائله من الاهمية لكل من يتصدى لاكتشاف الاحكام الشرعية, فقد التزم علماء الامامية بالاجتهاد بالمعنى العام (بذل الجهد والمشقة للوصول إلى الأحكام الشرعية) ورفضوا الاجتهاد بالمعنى الخاص (قول الفقيه برأيه فيما لا نص فيه) رفضاً قاطعاً, معتمدين على قواعد ومبانٍ ينطلقون منها ويؤسسون عليها ويرجعون إليها في عملية استنباط واكتشاف الأحكام الشرعية, ولا يختلف الباحث في هذا العلم أن الفكر الأصولي قد تطور بشكل متفاوت صعوداً وهبوطاً بشكل واضح على مدى العصور وهو أمر طبيعي, والتطور الحاصل لهذا العلم هو تطور في أدواته وطرقه وسبله في تحصيل الأحكام الشرعية الفرعية من أدلتها التفصيلة التي تتناسب مع تطور علم الفقه وكثرة الوقائع المتجددة والتطور الحاصل في الحياة اليومية .

وتطرقنا في هذا البحث إلى بيان التطور والنمو الذي حصل في الفكر العلمي للمدارس الأصولية الامامية وتنظيم مناهجها من أول نشؤها والحاجة إليها, من خلال استقراء النتاج الأصولي لأغلب علماء المدارس الأصولية بشكل مستقل, وكذلك الدراسات والتحقيقات الأصولية لمجموعة من الباحثين, التي كُتبت والمعبرة عن مستوى الفكر الأصولي المتفاوت في العصور اللاحقة, والنتاجات والدراسات التي اهتمت بهذا الجانب وأصبحت محطة نظر دارسي علم أصول الفقه, مبيناً أبرز نقاط الاتفاق والاختلاف, وبيان طرق الاستدلال والمناهج المتبعة والمختلفة عندهم .

Cereal grains such rice, sorghum, maize and millet among others are the staple foods in large parts of the world, supplying most of the energy and bulk in diets. Pesticide residue analysis in cereals from the various sampling locations for this dissertation revealed the following organophosphate pesticide residue were present in cereals analyzed Dichlorvos, Diazinon, Phorate sulfon, Malathion, Phorate, Chloropyrifos, Methyl Parathion, Profenofos, Ethion, Dimethoate, Phorate Sulfoxide, Phosalone, Edifenfos, Fenitrothion and Chlorofenvinfos. The presence of pesticide residues is detected in the samples of cereals (Rice, Maize, Millet and sorghum) analyzed. This could be as a result of high utilization of various pesticides during plant, cultivation and storage thus leading to the bioaccumulation of this substance in the individual cereals. It indicates high levels of non-carcinogenic risk associated with the life time consumption of cereals produce and sold within this region. Based on findings from this study’s, I hereby make the following recommendations. Regulatory agencies in Nigeria should step up efforts to ensure compliance with the ban on these chemicals. Farmers and other pesticide users also need to be educated on the dangers of using banned products and on the over application of these pesticides. Furthermore, farmers should be educated on the properly usage of these chemical product, during plant, harvest and storage. Also, manufacturers of these chemicals should produce less toxic pesticide using organic materials in other to prevent the health risk associated with chemical pesticide and their residues in food crops and the environment.
