स्वातंत्र्यवीर सावरकर – एक अजरामर व्यक्तिमत्व
Authors: पांडे श्रीमती सुप्रिया मनोहर
Published: June 2024

सारांश:- सावरकर ज्यांना वीर सावरकर म्हणूनही ओळखले जाते, हे एक प्रमुख भारतीय स्वातंत्र्यसैनिक, राष्ट्रवादी आणि राजकीय विचारवंत होते. त्यांचा जन्म 28 मे 1883 रोजी महाराष्ट्रातील नाशिक जिल्ह्यातील भगूर गावात झाला. सावरकरांच्या जीवनाचा प्रवास ब्रिटीश राजवटीपासून भारताच्या मुक्तीसाठी आणि त्यांच्या नवीन कल्पनांना त्यांनी दिलेला अतूट पाठिंबा होता.त्यांनी त्यांचे शिक्षण भारतात घेतले आणि नंतर उच्च शिक्षणासाठी इंग्लंडला गेले. तेथे राहून त्यांनी राष्ट्रवादी कार्यात सहभागी होऊन भारतीय स्वातंत्र्यासाठी कार्य केले. त्यांनी त्यांचे प्रसिद्ध पुस्तक “भारतीय स्वातंत्र्याची पहिली लढाई” लिहिले, ज्यामध्ये त्यांनी 1857 च्या भारतीय स्वातंत्र्य युद्धातील भारतीय सैनिकांच्या भूमिकेवर प्रकाश टाकला.भारतात परतल्यानंतर सावरकरांनी स्वातंत्र्यलढ्यात सक्रिय भूमिका बजावली. त्यांनी संपूर्ण स्वातंत्र्याची मागणी केली आणि हिंदूंच्या सांस्कृतिक आणि राष्ट्रीय अस्मितेवर जोर देणारी “हिंदुत्व” ही संज्ञा तयार केली. जातीय आणि प्रादेशिक अडथळ्यांशी लढण्यासाठी हिंदूंना एकत्र आणण्याचा त्यांचा “हिंदुत्व” सिद्धांत होता. सावरकरांच्या राष्ट्रवादी उपक्रमांनी इंग्रजांना आव्हान दिले आणि त्यांना १९०९ मध्ये अटक झाली. त्याच्यावर बंडखोरीचा आरोप ठेवण्यात आला आणि त्याला दोन जन्मठेपेची शिक्षा झाली. त्याच्या बंदिवासात त्याला अनेक संकटांचा सामना करावा लागला, परंतु कोणतीही गोष्ट त्याच्या आत्म्याला आणि स्वातंत्र्यावरील त्याच्या दृढ भक्तीला कमकुवत करू शकली नाही.तुरुंगातून सुटल्यानंतर सावरकर भारतीय राजकारणात सक्रिय राहिले. त्यांनी हिंदू महासभा ही हिंदू हितसंबंध आणि मूल्ये वाढवण्यास सक्षम असलेली राजकीय संघटना स्थापन केली. त्यांनी दलितांच्या न्याय मागण्यांसह हिंदू एकता आणि सामाजिक सुधारणांचा पुरस्कार करण्याचे काम केले.सावरकरांचा वारसा भारतात वादाचा विषय राहिला आहे. एक शूर देशभक्त आणि मजबूत विचारवंत म्हणून त्यांचा आदर केला जातो, परंतु त्यांच्या धार्मिक आणि सांप्रदायिक विचारांमुळे आणि महात्मा गांधींच्या हत्येमध्ये त्यांचा सहभाग असल्याच्या आरोपांमुळे त्यांच्यावर टीकाही झाली आहे. या विवादांना न जुमानता सावरकरांचे भारतीय स्वातंत्र्यलढ्यात आणि राष्ट्रवादी विचारसरणीला पुढे नेण्यात दिलेले योगदान मान्य केले जाते. शेवटी विनायक दामोदर सावरकर हे भारतीय इतिहासातील एक बहु-व्यावसायिक व्यक्तिमत्व होते, ज्यांच्या स्वातंत्र्यलढ्याने आणि राजकीय विचारांनी राष्ट्राला नवी दिशा दिली. वीर योद्धा म्हणून आदरणीय असो किंवा वादग्रस्त व्यक्तिमत्व म्हणून पाहिले जात असो, सावरकरांचा वारसा भारतीय स्वातंत्र्य आणि राष्ट्रवादाच्या इतिहासात महत्त्वपूर्ण आहे.

Authors: Fadila Putri Ridha , Bety Liyaningrum
Published: June 2024

Berbagai permasalahan sering dijumpai dalam pembelajaran oleh peneliti salah satunya adalah banyak anak yang tidak mengetahui konsep angka. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menambah pengetahuan anak-anak tentang angka. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berhitung anak kelompok B dengan menggunakan media bahan alam. Laporan ini menggunakan metode deskripsi siklus yang terdiri dari 4 bagian, yakni: perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pengamatan, dan refleksi. Pada siklus pertama peneliti menggunakan media tanam yaitu sayuran. Namun media tersebut dianggap biasa saja dan kurang menarik bagi anak. Oleh karena itu peneliti berinisiatif untuk mengganti alat peraga pada periode kedua dengan beberapa alternatif seperti: kerikil, biji jagung, kulit kerang, kayu, dan daun. Dari siklus 1 dapat disimpulkan bahwa 2 dari 11 anak mencapai keberhasilan dalam pembelajaran. Kemudian peneliti melakukan perbaikan siklus 2 dengan memperoleh hasil 60% anak mencapai keberhasilan atau 8 dari 11 anak mengalami keberhasilan yang signifikan. Laporan ini menemukan bahwa anak lebih menyukai media bahan alam yang bervariasi karena bagi mereka cukup menarik dan belum pernah digunakan dalam proses pembelajaran. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemanfaatan lingkungan belajar berupa media bahan alam dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berhitung anak dalam pembelajaran.
Contar la historia de la educación en el franquismo desde la experiencia personal
Authors: García Pérez Francisco
Published: June 2024

Una autobiografía bien enmarcada en su contexto histórico puede decirnos tanto sobre un determinado periodo del pasado como un estudio académico al uso. De hecho, en los últimos años han aparecido bastantes obras de este género (autobiografías, memorias, diarios), frecuentemente escritas por docentes, en las que se combinan la biografía, la memoria y la historia. Es el caso del libro de Guillermo Castán, objeto de este artículo, Memoria y experiencia de la educación bajo el franquismo (1957-1972), una peculiar e inquisitiva mirada sobre la experiencia de la educación (y, específicamente, sobre las instituciones escolares) en el franquismo. El hilo conductor es la trayectoria educativa personal del autor, sólidamente enmarcada en el transcurso histórico español, desde mediados de los años 50 hasta comienzos de los 70, en el pasado siglo XX. Su contenido permite la aproximación y el debate sobre temáticas de gran interés, como la educación en el contexto social, con tres referentes básicos (la familia, la escuela y la calle), el miedo como componente fundamental del control ejercido por la dictadura o el surgimiento de la conciencia social y el compromiso político.

Ostiliano ‘Augusto’: la tempestiva dedica della città di Keramos in Caria
Authors: Arena Gaetano
Published: June 2024

Abstract Hostilianus ‘Augustus’: the prompt dedication of the city of Keramos in Caria An inscription from Keramos in Caria was placed in honour of Hostilianus during the archontate of the archiater Marcus Aurelius Valens Polites. The document – which has aroused a fair amount of interest among historians of ancient medicine, while in the sphere of ancient history studies it has curiously gone almost unnoticed – deserves particular attention, also considering the relative paucity of data we possess on this emperor and the uncertainty, still present today, regarding some crucial aspects of his albeit ephemeral reign. Inserted within the complex and variegated chronological framework of the events of the wars of the 3rd century A.D., the epigraph is actually located in a very important ‘interstitial’ space and allows us to formulate some reflections on the logic of succession to power and on dynastic and ‘paradynastic’ strategies, since both Herennius Etruscus as well as Gallus and Volusianus are absent from Keramos’ text, while Hostilianus is defined Augustus and ‘son’ of the not-yet divus Augustus Decius.
Né ἰατρίνη né μαῖα: i saperi «speciali» della iatromaea/ἰατρόμαια
Authors: Cassia Margherita
Published: June 2024

Abstract Neither ἰατρίνη nor μαῖα: the «special» knowledge of the iatromaea/ἰατρόμαια Especially in the last thirty years both the ἰατρίναι/medicae and the μαῖαι/obstetrices have received particular attention from scholars both for a more precise framing of these female «professions» within activities that are not exclusively manual but also intellectual, and in order to reconstruct the legal status, the possibilities of social affirmation and the opportunities of economic income of these two specific professional profiles. The subject of analysis here is a figure in its own right, that of the iatromaea/ἰατρόμαια, a term attested by very rare epigraphic mentions in Latin and Greek, absent from the databases of papyrus texts and a veritable hapax in literary testimonies. After reviewing the inscriptions that certify the existence of this word and the hypotheses formulated by moderns regarding its possible meaning, the paper attempts to trace the professional profile of this specialist, identifying, through a comparison with the sources, similarities and differences with the other types of therapists and making an interpretative proposal in conclusion regarding the specific knowledge and skills of the iatromaea/ἰατρόμαια.
Caricatures as propaganda weapons during the First World War
Authors: Tamás Ágnes
Published: June 2024

This study examines a specific segment of visual propaganda from the First World War, the caricatures of comic papers (German: Kladderadatsch; Austrian: Figaro, Kikieriki, Wiener Caricaturen and Die Muskete; Hungarian: Borsszem Jankó and Mátyás Diák). It focuses on the visual tools used by cartoonists to depict the enemy, how they employed visual propaganda, and whether this met the criteria of effective propaganda. By way of comparison, it also briefly discusses some elements of the self-image. The symbols of the First World War cartoons still closely followed 19th century trends: cartoonists commented on the events of the war by depicting and exaggerating ancient myths, biblical stories, women representing countries and men and animals representing nations. This study will attempt a systematic analysis of these motifs and symbols.

Published: June 2024

Humour in English Language Teaching (ELT) is known to be beneficial for both the educators and students. However, the literature addressing the types of humour used by Malaysian lecturers in higher education on this matter are yet to be explored. To address these issues, the study focusses to explore on the types of humour used in ELT by Malaysian lecturers in relation to the four types of humour: verbal, visual, auditory and figural humour. The research design is a qualitative study which implements two instruments; classroom observation and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis will be used to analyse the data. The results from the study show that there are three types of humour commonly used: verbal humour, visual humour and auditory humour. The data analysis indicates that there are four factors which influence the types of humour used in the classroom: humour used for content delivery, humour to build rapport, humour to attract attention and humour to instil discipline.
Analyzing reciprocity dynamics in supply chains of public goods: a stochastic evolutionary game approach
Authors: Sun Simo , Wang Man , Lei Yi
Published: June 2024

To start with an infinitely repeated game of supply chains of public goods, a stout reciprocity mechanism is introduced into income games to build a matric dynamic equation. The conventional evolutionary game method is employed to propose a model called the evolutionary game for the cooperative strategy of both the manufacturer and the seller groups in the supply chain of public goods. Also, white Gaussian noise (WGN) is added to reflect random interference in the evolution process. Then, a stochastic dynamic system is established, and Ito’s differential equation is used to analyze both sides’ strategy evolution in a game, interpret changes in system stability when random disturbance is added, and finally test the influence of different situations on the system stability by running a numerical simulation. The research shows that the stronger the reciprocity coefficient is, and the system is subjected to random interference, the greater the strategy choice change in players’ decision-making procedures when the repeated game of public goods is conducted.
Development and application of multiplex PCR for the rapid identification of four Fusarium spp. associated with Fusarium crown rot in wheat
Authors: Deng Siyi , Chang Wei , Liu Quanke , Zhao Youfu , Liu Jun , Wang Hua
Published: June 2024

Fusarium crown rot (FCR), caused by Fusarium spp., is a devastating disease in wheat growing areas. Previous studies have shown that FCR is caused by co-infection of F. graminearum, F. pseudograminearum, F. proliferatum and F. verticillioides in Hubei Province, China. In this study, a method was developed to simultaneously detected DNAs of F. graminearum, F. pseudograminearum, F. proliferatum and F. verticillioides that can efficiently differentiate them. Whole genome sequence comparison of these four Fusarium spp. was performed and a 20 bp sequence was designed as an universal upstream primer. Specific downstream primers of each pathogen was also designed, which resulted in a 206, 482, 680, and 963 bp amplicon for each pathogen, respectively. Multiplex PCR specifically identified F. graminearum, F. pseudograminearum, F. proliferatum and F. verticillioides but not from other 46 pathogens, and the detection limit of target pathogens is about 100 pg/μl. Moreover, we accurately determined the FCR pathogen species in wheat samples using the optimized multiplex PCR method. These results demonstrate that the multiplex PCR method established in this study can efficiently and rapidly identify F. graminearum, F. pseudograminearum, F. proliferatum, and F. verticillioides, which should provide technical support for timely and targeted prevention and control of FCR.
Rehabilitación y densificación sustentable en bloques CORVI 1010 y 1020.
Authors: Lopez Peralta Genesis
Published: June 2024

El déficit habitacional aumentó significativamente los últimos años en Chile, alcanzando un total de 641.421 familias sin techo. Al mismo tiempo, existe un amplio número de familias con techo que diariamente experimentan vulnerabilidad habitacional a través de condiciones de habitabilidad deficientes en sus propias viviendas. Esta comprensión dual de la crisis, tanto cuantitativa como cualitativa, enmarcada, además, en una crisis ambiental que se extiende mundialmente, pone en el centro de la discusión los modos tradicionales en que hoy se gestiona y produce la vivienda en nuestro país. Cuál es el equilibrio entre una solución habitacional de alto potencial de replicabilidad que a su vez permita disminuir las emisiones de CO2 sobre la atmósfera, es la pregunta que articula la investigación.Se propone como objeto de estudio el escenario que proveen los bloques CORVI 1010 y 1020, cuya presencia en el territorio nacional permite pensar en la estandarización de una solución habitacional en base a dos estrategias centrales: la rehabilitación de lo existente y la densificación en altura para incorporar nuevas viviendas. Adicionalmente, se plantea la búsqueda de la carbononeutralidad del proyecto a través de un modelo de construcción en madera, cuya capacidad de captura de carbono permite netear las emisiones a la atmósfera. En esa misma línea, la investigación desarrolla un modelo de cálculo que permite evaluar de manera rápida la huella de carbono de un edificio y generar optimizaciones a través de la iteración de variables de arquitectura. De esta manera, al mejorar las condiciones preexistentesdel caso de estudio, el proyecto arquitectónico logra incorporar una nueva densidad y mantener un valor de carbono bajo cero.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Essential herbs such as garlic, ginger, and cardamom have shown antimicrobial activity with no potential adverse effects and are cost-effective. Despite these advantages, the efficacy of these agents needs to be tested against common oral pathogenic microorganisms to ensure that if found effective, they can be used in clinical settings. Aim: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of garlic, ginger, and cardamom oils on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) against chlorhexidine. Materials and Methods: An in-vitro study was conducted at Bharati Vidyapeeth Dental College and Hospital, Navi Mumbai, in the Department of Microbiology and Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Pharmacy, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India from January 2023 to September 2023. Oil extracts of garlic, ginger, and cardamom were loaded onto sterile filter paper discs measuring 6 mm in diameter in concentrations of 50 µL, 100 µL, and 200 µL. Additionally, 2% chlorhexidine (control group) was loaded onto similar sterile paper discs. The discs were dried and placed aseptically on culture media plates inoculated with S. mutans, and the plates were then incubated at 37°C overnight. Subsequently, the zones of inhibition were measured in millimeters. Results: Ginger oil exhibited the highest zone of inhibition, measuring 25 mm, followed by cardamom oil and garlic oil measuring 18 mm and 12 mm, respectively, at a concentration of 200 µL. The zone of inhibition measured for 100 µL concentrations of garlic, ginger, and cardamom oils were 7 mm, 16 mm, and 13 mm, respectively. For 50 µL concentrations of the oils, the zones of inhibition for garlic, ginger, and cardamom were 0 mm, 13 mm, and 9 mm, respectively. The zone of inhibition shown by chlorhexidine was 22 mm for concentrations of 50 µL, 100 µL, and 200 µL. Conclusion: Essential oil extracts from ginger, cardamom, and garlic were found to have antimicrobial activity against S. mutans, with ginger oil showing the highest effectiveness, followed by cardamom oil and garlic oil.
Gastric Black Fungus: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Srinath BM , Vasugi Gramani Arumugam , Ganesh P , Sundaram Sandhya
Published: June 2024

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that typically affects patients with diabetes mellitus or immunosuppression. The fungus invades nearby blood vessels, leading to thrombosis and organ necrosis. While Mucorales can infiltrate any organ in the body, the gastrointestinal system is an uncommon site for infection. Gastric mucormycosis is a rare but potentially lethal fungal infection resulting from the invasion of Mucorales into the gastric mucosa, exhibiting angioinvasive characteristics. It can lead to high mortality rates due to the increased risk of complications in immunocompromised patients. Common predisposing factors include diabetes mellitus, neutropenia, iron overload states, malnourishment, and other immunocompromised conditions. Mucormycosis is a fatal infection, necessitating prompt intervention to ensure survival. In this case report, authors present a 42-year-old man with a history of chronic alcoholism and chronic kidney disease who presented with complaints of abdominal pain and vomiting for six months, significant weight loss, and loss of appetite for one month. Initially suspected clinically and radiologically as a malignant gastric ulcer, an endoscopy was performed, and a gastric biopsy was sent for Histopathological Examination (HPE). Histological analysis of the gastric biopsy revealed multiple fragments of gastric mucosa with areas of ulceration, neutrophilic abscess, and numerous broad aseptate obtuse-angle fungal hyphae resembling Mucorales. The presence of the organisms was confirmed through special stains for fungus. Very few cases of invasive gastric mucormycosis associated with uncontrolled diabetes, alcoholism, and chronic kidney disease have been reported in the literature.
Papillary Carcinoma of Thyroglossal Cyst in a Background of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: A Case Report
Authors: Deoja Glory , Varghese Renu Gboy , Manuel Kevin , Manoharan Peter
Published: June 2024

Thyroglossal Duct Cyst (TGDC) is one of the most common congenital neck anomalies that occur due to incomplete involution of the thyroglossal duct. Carcinoma arising in TGDC is rare, accounting for about 1% of cases, with non neoplastic thyroid gland lesions even rarer. This report demonstrates a case of papillary carcinoma with Hashimoto Thyroiditis (HT) of TGDC in the background of HT in the thyroid gland. A 51-year-old woman presented with complaints of midline neck swelling for the past 20 years. Ultrasound revealed an infected thyroglossal cyst. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) was inconclusive, and the cystic lesion was excised and sent for histopathology. Histopathology showed a thyroglossal cyst with papillary carcinoma along with a focus of HT. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy after a month, which showed features of HT and nodular hyperplasia. There was no evidence of papillary carcinoma in the thyroidectomy specimen. TGDC can harbour malignancies accounting for about 1% of cases. Since TGDC has ectopic thyroid tissue, they should be evaluated for neoplastic and non neoplastic lesions. Also, the evaluation of the thyroid gland is essential for identifying the presence of malignancy to confirm a primary or secondary metastatic carcinoma in a TGDC.

An Analytical Review of Language Economics with a Discussion on Language Use, Policy and Planning in Sri Lanka
Authors: Jayawickrama Ananda , Nawarathna Sandya
Published: June 2024

Language dynamics depend not only on factors as explained by sociolinguists but also on economic factors. Economics of language and economic analysis of language provide analytical framework for language choice, use of language, language development, language and economic wellbeing, language assimilation, language death, etc. This paper discusses theoretical aspects of economics of language and how language dynamics and economic factors are interrelated with a discussion on language use in Sri Lanka. The paper surveys literature on economics of language which considers language as a rational choice. Optimal language choice maximizes economic benefits subject to constraints. If a language does not serve the need of the people, the evolutionary forces work to improve its functioning, thus language remains incomplete. In a framework of human development, language skills enhance economic gains. As per the discrimination theory, marginalization of minority language speakers from economic activities was analyzed. It was also discussed that economic factors drive a society with many languages to choose one common language or to retain or preserve endangered minority languages. Another branch of research focused on the analysis of official language policies of countries. These studies were highly useful in understanding the relationship between economic factors and language issues and resulting language policy planning. In the discussion on language use in Sri Lanka, it is found that official and link language policies do not always ensure equal access to economic opportunities for different language users.

This article presents a comprehensive study of sales predictions using time series analysis, focusing on a case study of Walmart sales data. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of various time series forecasting techniques in predicting weekly sales data for Walmart stores. Leveraging a dataset from Kaggle comprising weekly sales data from various Walmart stores around the United States, this study explores the effectiveness of time series analysis in forecasting future sales trends. Various time series analysis techniques, including Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Seasonal Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA), Prophet, Exponential Smoothing, and Gaussian Processes, are applied to model and forecast Walmart sales data. By comparing the performance of these models, the study seeks to identify the most accurate and reliable methods for forecasting retail sales, thereby providing valuable insights for improving sales predictions in the retail sector. The study includes an extensive exploratory data analysis (EDA) phase to preprocess the data, detect outliers, and visualize sales trends over time. Additionally, the article discusses the partitioning of data into training and testing sets for model evaluation. Performance metrics such as Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) are utilized to compare the accuracy of different time series models.
The results indicate that Gaussian Processes outperform other models in terms of accuracy, with an RMSE of 34,116.09 and an MAE of 25,495.72, significantly lower than the other models evaluated. For comparison, ARIMA and SARIMA models both yielded an RMSE of 555,502.2 and an MAE of 462,767.3, while the Prophet model showed an RMSE of 567,509.2 and an MAE of 474,990.8. Exponential Smoothing also performed well with an RMSE of 555,081.7 and an MAE of 464,110.5. These findings suggest the potential of Gaussian Processes for accurate sales forecasting. However, the study also highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each forecasting methodology, emphasizing the need for further research to refine existing techniques and explore novel modeling approaches. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of time series analysis in retail sales forecasting and provides insights for improving future forecasting endeavors.

Organic farming, characterized by the exclusion of synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, represents a sustainable approach to agriculture. This study investigates the impact of organic farming practices on soil health, focusing on the proliferation and activity of soil microorganisms. Natural fertilizers such as farmyard manure, poultry litter, composts, green manures, and oil-free cakes were utilized to enhance soil fertility. The research reveals that these practices significantly improve soil health by fostering a robust microbiome, which is essential to the cycling of nutrients and overall health of the soil vitality. The safety and nutritional benefits of organic food products were also evaluated. Comparative analysis with conventionally grown foods indicates that organic produce contains lower levels of harmful residues such as pesticides, nitrates, metals, and antibiotics. This reduction in contaminants mitigates potential risks to human health associated with conventional farming practices. Furthermore, organic foods are found to be richer in essential nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants, thereby offering superior nutritional value. The economic implications of organic farming were explored, highlighting its potential to enhance the economic viability of small-scale farmers. With increasing consumer awareness and demand for organic products, farmers practicing organic methods can command higher prices for their produce, thereby improving their economic sustainability and resilience. In conclusion, organic farming emerges as an environmentally friendly and economically viable alternative to conventional agriculture. By promoting soil health, reducing chemical residues in food, and meeting consumer demand for nutritious products, organic farming offers a pathway towards sustainable agricultural practices.
The Impact of Social Values and Culture on Discrimination against Women
Authors: Göktepe Orhan
Published: June 2024

Discrimination and violence against women have a universal character in all societies across the world. The reason why this cannot be prevented completely so far is the insistence on inaccurate policies against women. This study aims to reveal that violence against women stems from centuries-old patriarchal culture and to offer solutions for it. The study is based on the written sources of ancient civilizations throughout the historical process, statistical data of international non-governmental organizations and institutions, and the review of extensive literatures mentioned in the reference list on the subject. Patriarchal discrimination and violence against women are seen almost every society, albeit at different levels. A cultural domination that imposes women's submissive acceptance of men's absolute superiority has been continuing for centuries. Masculine resistance to accepting that women are individuals with equal rights stems from cultural values subsequently learned. These widespread social values are the main reason for discrimination and hostility towards women. Violation or rejection of the behavioral norms determined for women results in punishment and sanctions based on religion, morality, customs and traditions. It has shown that providing better education and job opportunities for women or enforcing more severe penal laws on crimes against women is not enough to achieve the desired results. For success, something different needs to be done. The existence of centuries-old patriarchal cultural values does not only stem from the men who are the perpetrators of violence and discrimination against women. Women who internalize this unfair behavior and accept it silently also have responsibilities in the continuation of these wrong values. Although it is too difficult to change centuries-old prejudices and cultural values against women, it is not impossible. Adopting the right cultural values in society is requiring persistent struggle that includes family, school, religious institutions and social media.
Ad-hoc-Pflicht für Nachhaltigkeitsinformationen

Published: June 2024

Die Berichtspflichten für Nachhaltigkeitsinformationen wurden in den vergangenen Jahren erheblich ausgeweitet. Direkte Eingriffe in das Recht der Ad-hoc-Publizität gab es in diesem Zusammenhang zwar bisher nicht. Dennoch stellt sich die Frage, ob die gesetzgeberische Aufwertung von Nachhaltigkeitsinformationen - z.B. aufgrund eines dadurch gewandelten „Anlegerleitbilds“ - zu einer Ausweitung der Ad-hoc-Publizitätspflichten führt. Der folgende Beitrag geht dieser Frage nach und nimmt dabei sowohl die Primärebene als auch die schadensrechtliche Situation in den Blick.
Yes, This Is A Puff Piece? A Comparative Analysis of the Vendor Defences of Puffery, Statements of Future Intent and Disclaimers — How far does the divergence between promised and actual capabilities of an ERP implementation stretch until the ERP vendor is liable … and then stretch further until the ERP vendor is no longer liable?
Authors: Beardwood John
Published: June 2024

In past articles we have reviewed critical lessons learned from various failed ERP implementations and outsourcing transactions. One of the common themes is the divergence between the representations made by technology vendor sales teams as to promised skills, expertise and delivery, and the actually provided skills, expertise and delivery. In turn, the analysis of the resulting lawsuits has emerged, in response to customer allegations of negligent misrepresentation and fraudulent misrepresentation, the vendor defences of puffery and opinion, statements of future intent, and contractual disclaimer. The article begins in this Part 1 by providing an overview of the law of misrepresentation, and then the common vendor defences of puffery and opinion, statements of future intent, and contractual disclaimers, in Canada (I) and in the United States (II). Part 2 will then complete the overview with a look at the European Union (III) and an assessment how these defences were raised by vendors in two recent ERP failure lawsuits (IV), before concluding with lessons learned for vendors and customers (V).

Co‐Witness Confidence, Conformity, and Eyewitness Memory: An Examination of Normative and Informational Social Influences
Authors: Goodwin Kerri A. , Kukucka Jeffrey P. , Hawks Irina M.
Published: October 2012

We explored conformity and co‐witness confidence in eyewitness memory. Confederates provided misleading information and confidence ratings during a cued recall test, and participants publicly provided answers to this test in turn. Participants performed memory tests with a confederate, then completed individual memory tests. Results indicated that confederates who answered questions prior to participants impacted their public and private memory reports for accurate information but only impacted public reports for misleading information. Participants' confidence in their performance in the presence of a confederate mirrored the confederate's confidence levels, suggesting a confidence conformity effect. Results are explained in terms of differential effects of informational and normative influence for accuracy and confidence in co‐witness memory reports. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An important criterion for effective gene therapy is sufficient chromosomal integration activity. The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system is a plasmid system allowing efficient insertion of transgenes into the host genome. However, such efficient insertion occurs only after the system is delivered to nuclei. Since transposons do not have the transducing abilities of viral vectors, efficient delivery of this system first into cells and then into cell nuclei is still a challenge. Here, a phage display technique using a major coat displayed phage library is employed to identify a peptide (VTAMEPGQ) that can home to rat mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs). A nanoparticle, called liposome protamine/DNA lipoplex (LPD), is electrostatically assembled from cationic liposomes and an anionic complex of protamine, DNA and targeting peptides. Various peptides are enveloped inside the LPD to improve its targeting capability for rMSCs and nuclei. The rMSC‐targeting peptide and nuclear localization signal (NLS) peptide can execute the synergetic effect to promote transfection action of LPD. The homing peptide directs the LPD to target the MSCs, whereas the NLS peptide directs transposon to accumulate into nuclei once LPD is internalized inside the cells, leading to increased gene expression. This suggests that rMSC‐targeting peptide and NLS peptide within LPD can target to rMSCs and then guide transposon into nuclei. After entering the nuclei, SB transposon increase the insertion rates into cellular chromosomes. The targeting LPD does not show obvious cell toxicity and influence on the differentiation potential of rMSCs. Therefore, the integration of SB transposon and LPD system is a promising nonviral gene delivery vector in stem cell therapy.

Films made of 2D networks of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are one of the most promising active‐channel materials for field‐effect transistors (FETs) and have a variety of flexible electronic applications, ranging from biological and chemical sensors to high‐speed switching devices. Challenges, however, still remain due to the current hysteresis of SWNT‐containing FETs, which has hindered further development. A new and robust method to control the current hysteresis of a SWNT‐network FET is presented, which involves the non‐volatile polarization of a ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF‐TrFE)) gate insulator. A top‐gate FET with a solution‐processed SWNT‐network exhibits significant suppression of the hysteresis when the gate‐voltage sweep is greater than the coercive field of the ferroelectric polymer layer (≈50 MV m−1). These near‐hysteresis‐free characteristics are believed to be due to the characteristic hysteresis of the P(VDF‐TrFE), resulting from its non‐volatile polarization, which makes effective compensation for the current hysteresis of the SWNT‐network FETs. The onset voltage for hysteresis‐minimized operation is able to be tuned simply by controlling the thickness of the ferroelectric film, which opens the possibility of operating hysteresis‐free devices with gate voltages down to a few volts.
