Juanga Village, South Morotai District, Morotai Island Regency, is one of the areas that is very vulnerable to coastal erosion, this is due to the high sea waves that often occur. Community service activities aim to educate the local community about the importance of planting mangroves as an effort to mitigate the coastal erosion disaster that occurred in Juanga Village. Community service starts from identifying problems that occur, then conducting outreach to the community and carrying out mangrove planting actions in designated areas involving KKNT students at Hein Namotemo University. The result of Community Service is that the community can be educated to continue to maintain natural balance by planting coastal vegetation that can withstand the rate of abrasion, one of which is mangroves because mangrove vegetation is important vegetation for the sustainability of marine biota and as a coast guard from abrasion. It is hoped that with this activity the people of Juanga Village can increase their knowledge and carry out sustainable planting.
PENGENALAN STRUKTUR DAN SIFAT FISIK BAHAN PRODUK TANAMAN BAMBU PADA KELOMPOK TANI DESA URENG, KABUPATEN MALUKU TENGAH

Published: November 2024

Bamboo is a non-timber forest product that is abundant in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, thriving in areas with high rainfall. In Indonesia, bamboo can be found in lowland to mountainous areas, typically growing in open spaces. In Ureng Village, bamboo has yet to significantly contribute to improving the local community’s welfare. One of the main factors limiting the optimal utilization of bamboo is the lack of knowledge regarding the physical properties and characteristics of bamboo wood, which could be processed into various economically valuable products. This activity aimed to provide education on the structure and properties of bamboo wood to enhance the economic value for the Ureng Village community. The results show that participants were highly enthusiastic about learning the properties and structure of bamboo wood, which can enable them to utilize bamboo as a substitute for timber.

Published: November 2024

Objective We aimed to identify subgroups of suicide risk and their characteristics among Korean adults.Methods We used data from the National Mental Health Survey of Korea 2021. Participants were 5,511 adults aged 18–79 years. Latent class analysis was conducted to identify patterns of suicide risk using suicidal thoughts, plans, attempts, and self-harm. Sociodemographic and health-related characteristics according to the subtype of suicide risk were compared.Results Suicide risk was classified into three latent classes: low suicide risk (89.5%, Class 3 [C3]), high suicidal ideation and low suicidal behavior (8.7%, Class 2 [C2]), and high suicidal thoughts and behavior (1.8%, Class 1 [C1]). Risk factors associated with C1 and C2 were the absence of a spouse, low educational and economic status, and unstable occupational status. C1 and C2 had more physical and psychological problems than did C3. Prevalence of mental disorders and mental health service use were higher in C1 than in C2.Conclusion Suicide risk types have different demographic, physical health-related, and mental health-related characteristics. Therefore, a focused and individualized suicide preventive strategy should be implemented.

Objective The aging demographic landscape worldwide portends a heightened prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders. Foremost among these is Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the foremost cause of dementia in older adults. The shortage of efficacious therapies and early diagnostic indicators underscores the imperative to identify non-invasive biomarkers for early detection and disease monitoring. Recently, blood metabolites have emerged as promising candidates for AD biomarkers.Methods Leveraging nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy on plasma specimens, we conducted a cross-sectional study encompassing 35 AD patients and 35 age-matched healthy controls. Cognitive function was evaluated using the mini-mental state examination in all participants, followed by peripheral blood sample collection. We utilized univariate and multivariate analyses to perform targeted lipidomic profiling via NMR spectroscopy.Results Our study revealed significant differences in the expression profiles of low-density lipoprotein-associated subfractions in females and high-density lipoprotein-associated subfractions in males between AD patients and healthy controls (all p<0.05). However, there was no significant metabolite overlap between males and females. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that the combination of lipid metabolites had good diagnostic values (all area under the curve>0.70; p<0.05).Conclusion Our findings suggest that the blood plasma samples using NMR hold promise in distinguishing between AD patients and healthy controls, with significant clinical implications for advancing AD diagnostic methodologies.

Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980 and had Mugabe as its first black president. Thirty-seven years later, Mugabe was, atypically, ousted from office. There exist controversies around his thirty-seven-year term. This paper evaluates Mugabe’s policy legacies on urban poverty and informality in the country’s capital city, Harare. Desktop research was used to achieve the aim of the study. Key themes that emerged show that power and intolerance were the main factors behind Mugabe’s policies and a key reason for the current levels of poverty and informality. Recommendations on urban management policies to address African urban poverty and informality were proposed.
Peculiarities of the Diet of Ukrainians during the 1932–1933 Genocide (based on the Memories of the Holodomor Witnesses)
Authors: SHEREMETA Liliia
Published: November 2024

Based on 155 accounts of the Holodomor witnesses (covering the whole USSR territory), the author comprehensively studied the peculiarities of the diet of Ukrainians in the conditions of the crime of genocide committed by the communist totalitarian regime in 1932 and 1933. The traditional diet of Ukrainians was before the 1930s was described. It is known that that since ancient times, Ukrainians were primarily involved in agriculture, as well as cattle breeding and gathering, which determined the traditional diet of the nation, whose daily ration consisted of food of plant and animal origin. From the products of plant origin, they cooked cereal and vegetable dishes (bread, halushky, zatirka, noodles, porridge, kulish, chur, solomakha, mamalyha, lemishka, borsch, yushka, soup, cabbage soup, potatoes, pancakes, hashbrowns, dumplings), and from the products of animal origin, they cooked meat, dairy and fish dishes (sausages, blood sausages, roast, saltyson, kholodets, dushenyna, kruchenyky, sichenyky, khliaka, riazhanka, butter, sour cream, cheese, etc.). The most important dish on the table of Ukrainians was and still is bread. It has been analyzed and proved that during the Holodomor genocide years, the destruction of traditional Ukrainian nutrition, along with customs and traditions related to it took place. The communist totalitarian regime, by taking away all edible supplies, doomed Ukrainians to hungry death. To survive, Ukrainians ate surrogates, plants (leaves, weeds, grass); small animals, insects, birds (hedgehogs, cats, dogs, gophers, sparrows, crows, pigeons, storks, frogs, mollusks, snails, dragonflies); cow’s milk (families that had a cow called it a feeder and a savior); vegetables, fruits, berries; rotten potatoes, beets (dug up in early spring); offal; human flesh (cases of corpse-eating and cannibalism were recorded). Consumption of such products caused the most severe stomach diseases and even fatal poisonings. People suffered from vomiting, diarrhea, swelling, weakness, inflammation, and unbearable pain. Epidemics and various diseases, often fatal ones (smallpox, dysentery, louse-borne typhus and typhoid fever, malaria, pellagra, glanders, dropsy) spread in Ukraine Due to hunger, Ukrainians developed mental disorders, their consciousness was clouded, their thinking, will, and memory were disturbed, and their behavior changed. Keywords: Holodomor, 1932–1933, genocide, non-traditional food, surrogates, moral and psychological effects.
Recognition of Holodomor as Genocide of the ukrainian People by Latin American Countries
Authors: KOSENKO-SOLOHUB Anastasiia
Published: November 2024

The issue of recognizing the Holodomor of 1932–1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people is one of the priority directions in the cultural and humanitarian cooperation of Ukraine with the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. As of November 2023, only 7 out of 33 Latin American countries have recognized the Holodomor as genocide of the Ukrainian people at the parliamentary level. These are Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Chile (Chamber of Deputies), Colombia (Chamber of Representatives), Paraguay (Senate) and Brazil (Senate). Both chambers of the National Assembly of Argentina adopted only declarations commemorating the victims. In Ukrainian historiography, despite the presence publications dedicated to the study of the problem of recognizing the Holodomor of 1932–1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian nation by the international community, there is still a lack of research that would study this issue precisely at the level of individual countries or regions. One of the most understudied areas is the recognition of the Holodomor as genocide by Latin American countries. In the article, based on a number of Spanish- and Portuguese-language documentary sources, an attempt was made to analyze the peculiarities of recognition of the Holodomor of 1932–1933 as genocide by Latin American countries. The research examines the key factors that influenced the process of Latin American countries recognizing the Holodomor as a genocide of the Ukrainian people. Certain aspects of the procedure for approving relevant documents in different countries of the region are given. The role and contribution of the Ukrainian communities of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil in the popularization of the Holodomor topic, its comprehensive discussion and political recognition of this crime are shown. The impact of the level of interstate dialogue between Ukraine and the countries of the region, as well as the activities of Ukrainian diplomatic representatives aimed at condemning the crime of genocide, is reflected. In article author analyze the impact of cooperation of the Russian Federation with certain countries of the region on the recognition of the Holodomor as genocide of the Ukrainian people. In the case of Uruguay and Brazil, the activities of Russian diplomats aimed at opposing this achievement were noted. Keywords: Recognition of Holodomor as genocide, Latin America, Ukrainian diaspora, Ukrainian diplomacy.

Published: November 2024

The modern museum performs a large number of functions, among which it is worth emphasizing those that affect the formation of the worldview of youth, as well as the preservation and development of civil society as a whole. The National Museum of the Holodomor-Genocide highlights the history associated with social trauma, which makes the choice of methods and approaches used to carry out this mission become even more important. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to show the ways of interaction with visitors of different ages, which are used in the work of the educational department of the Holodomor Museum. The study provides an overview of the main types of educational activities for schoolchildren offered by the Museum. The main objectives of these activities are familiarization with the problem of protecting human rights, analysis of sources on the history of the Holodomor (photos, posters, diaries, eyewitness accounts of genocide and archival documents), formation of critical thinking skills (in particular, the ability to recognize fakes in the media) and drawing attention to the importance of studying one‘s own family history. Also the article tells about the emphases that are significant while working with children and teenage audiences and talking about traumatic events. Great attention is paid to interactive tools of working with visitors in the museum, in particular the use of video, animation, and other media tools when creating online tours and lessons. Online work with visitors has become especially relevant since 2020. For this purpose, we adapted some educational lessons and created tours in an online format, which consist of communication with the guide and watching a pre-prepared video tour. Such tours are created in two versions, in accordance with the age of students (6–12 years old and over 13 years old). The video tour for teenagers and adults uses historical documents, photographs, fragments of newsreels and video testimonies of Holodomor witnesses, as well as exhibits from the museum collection and stock materials. To develop lessons for younger students, the means of playing and storytelling were used, and the video tour for children 6–12 years old was illustrated with the help of sand animation, which allows showing the exposition and telling about the Holodomor to younger listeners without hurting them.

Authors:   G.S. Kostiuk Institute of psychology of the NAES of Ukraine, Kredentser Oksana
Published: November 2024

Introduction. Recently, the world has been experiencing significant crises and challenges with ever increasing intensity and periodicity. The full-scale war in Ukraine placed the country in the epicentre of the turmoil. Hence, finding resources to overcome crises both at the individual, organizational, and societal levels has become of great importance. Resilience is one of those resources. Aim. To analyze the main approaches to the concept of resilience in latest research in organizational psychology. Methods: theoretical analysis of the relevant literature (analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization). Results. In terms of organizational psychology, the concept of resilience was analyzed at three levels: organizational level, group (team) level, and individual (staff) level. According to those levels, organizational resilience, team resilience, and staff resilience were defined. The all three types of resilience were referred to as the ability to withstand adversity, recover from it, and use the gained experience as a resource for further development. However, resilience was manifested only when certain difficulties and crises arose. Each type of resilience depended on certain factors: for organizational resilience, those factors included organizational processes and models, for team resilience, intra-team processes, and for staff resilience, staff's organizational behavior and professional characteristics. Conclusions: the considered approaches can be the basis of further empirical research on organizational resilience.

Introduction. The use of effective ways to resolve intrapersonal conflicts by vocational school students in the process of their vocational training is an important component of developing students' knowledge about sensory and emotional spheres and forming their emotional self-regulation skills. Aim: theoretical substantiation of the features of intrapersonal conflicts and ways to resolve them by vocational school students. Methods. Analysis, synthesis, generalization of scientific information, as well as the selection method to develop a set of psychodiagnostic tools. Results. The essence of the concept of conflict was clarified. Scientific approaches to the study of intrapersonal conflicts were analyzed and the sources, consequences and types of intrapersonal conflicts experienced by vocational school students were described. It was established that the main type of intrapersonal conflicts was a value conflict, which at the level of individual consciousness was caused by a clash between the real self and ideal self. A complex of psychodiagnostic instruments and techniques was proposed for studying intrapersonal conflicts experienced by vocational school students. Conclusions. In order to resolve intrapersonal conflicts experienced by vocational school students, it is advisable to use psychotherapy to improve students' moral and psychological condition and resolve their crisis situations and promote success.

Published: November 2024

Introduction. Analysis of changes in mental health components as well as the development of organizational culture models of personal support in difficult life situations are serious challenges faced by psychologists. Aim: to empirically investigate the dynamics of life satisfaction of higher education students during war and establish its correlates. Methods. A comparative and correlational research strategy was used in the empirical study. The psychodiagnostic instruments included: Life Satisfaction Scale (SWLS), Posttraumatic Growth Scale (PTGI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The comparison of quantitative data was done in percentage terms and the Pearson method was used to establish the relationship. Results. The dynamics of students' life satisfaction reflected the non-linear process of their personal adaptation to life in war conditions. A significant number of students assessed their life as unfavorable and needed better resources. There was a statistical relationship between students' life satisfaction and their feeling of support during their studies as well as students' psycho-emotional stability and ability for spiritual growth. Conclusions. The obtained results make it possible to develop war-sensitive psychological support strategies for students' adaptive resources.
The concept of mental health of the individual in the works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists
Authors:   State University of Trade and Economics, Dubych Serhii
Published: November 2024

Introduction. The concept of mental health is widely represented in scientific discourse and there are different approaches to understanding it. According the most popular approach, mental health is primarily a general characteristic of the psycho-emotional state of large social groups or the entire society. Aim: to determine the main directions in the scientific discourse regarding the concept of mental health based on the analysis of the relevant scientific publications. Methods: analysis of the available scientific literature, formalization, abstraction, comparison, and analogy of data. Results. The analysis of the available relevant scientific literature in Ukrainian and English revealed a need for generalization of empirical data about current transformations and social processes in Ukraine. Conclusions. Ukrainian researchers consider mental health of an individual as a systemic concept to define and characterize the mental and psycho-emotional state of a person (or a social group). At the same time, this concept is not directly linked to a specific mental illness or personality disorder. The fact that in modern studies the concept of mental health is not tied to specific problems and destructive trends in society should also be considered a disadvantage.

Published: November 2024

الجنوح للصلح ليس بعيدا عن الجنوح للسلم فهو من مبانيه المهمة وقد عنيت به الكتب السماوية في اشكال مختلفة لتحد من تدافع الناس لأن فيه ضرر للأمة، ومن هنا كانت رحلتنا مع النص القرآني في عرضه لهذا المفهوم في التعايش فضلا عن استعمال مقارباته التي تفي بغرض رسالي، وهو ما حاول البحث أن يتابعه مع جماليات النص القرآني في مواضعه الكثيرة التي وقفنا عند استعمالها وفي سياقات متعددة، وقد غلب الإنساني على هذا الاستعمال وهو موافق تماما لمعنى الحق الذي يمثله الكتاب، فهو في كل استعمالاته لا يخرج عن نفع الفرد والأسرة والجماعة والأمة، وقد وضحنا مباني العنوان بماذا يعني الصلح في المعجم والاصطلاح وفي السياق، وكذلك فعلنا مع الطبع الذي هو اقرب للمباحث النفسية ثم التطبيع ولا يذهبن بكم الرأي إلى التطبيع السياسي المعروف فله موضع غير هذا البحث، ولكن كيف يحمل الصلح بعده، كيف يمكن محو المغاضبات التي فرقت واستدعت حاجة الصلح لإزالة عداوة، كيف تتطبع الجماعات للحال الجديدة.

The Experience of Responding to Imaginative Suggestions: Micro-phenomenological Interviews
Authors: Sheldrake Kevin , Konakanchi Yesesvi , Dienes Zoltan
Published: November 2024

The micro-phenomenological interview is a technique for investigating in detail phenomenology during an activity lasting seconds to minutes. Here, we applied it to understanding the moment-to-moment experiences of subjects responding to imaginative suggestions that were aimed at temporarily altering perceived reality through deployment of phenomenological control. We presented three suggestions individually to seven participants, interviewed them about their experiences, with the qualitative findings generating four independent hypotheses. We repeated the process with six new participants and found that the data supported three of the hypotheses. These were that responses subjectively scored high rarely involved intentionally-generated goal-directed fantasies (GDFs), but responses subjectively scored moderate almost always involved intentionally-generated GDFs, as did responses that were scored low; however, in the latter case these GDFs were typically of scenarios that would be unlikely to result in the desired response. The second supported hypothesis was that responses scored low did not appear to involve active sabotage. The final supported hypothesis was that high and moderate responders do not appear to be aware that they are generating the suggested behaviour and cognitions. These hypotheses will need confirming for generalisability with a quantitative study.
Machine Learning for Design, Optimization and Assessment of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures: A Review
Authors: Wang Xianlin , Zhuang Bozhou , Smyl Danny , Zhou Haijun , Naser M. Z.
Published: November 2024

Steel-concrete composite structures (SCCSs) combine the high compressive strength of concrete and tensile strength of steel to achieve optimal structural performance. However, the design of SCCSs is more complex than traditional reinforced concrete (RC) or steel structures due to the steel-concrete composite effects. In recent years, machine learning (ML) has been increasingly applied to SCCSs. However, there have been no related reviews on this topic and this literature gap serves as the motivation for this review. This paper presents the first extensive literature review for ML applications in the design, optimization and assessment of SCCSs. A total of 194 references are collected with most of them are directly related to the ML applications in SCCSs. We discussed ML workflows and models applied for SCCSs, and summarized applications of ML across different SCCS components, including mechanical connectors, steel-concrete interfacial bonding, steel-concrete composite beams, slabs, columns, and walls. The challenges and future research directions are also highlighted. This review provides a valuable reference for researchers and engineers working on the research and development of ML in SCCSs.

Data and computational capacity are essential resources for any intelligent system that update its beliefs by integrating new information. However, both data and computational resources are inherently limited. Here, we introduce a new resource-rational analysis of belief updating that formalizes these constraints using information-theoretic principles. Our analysis reveals an interaction between data and computational limitations: when computational resources are scarce, agents may struggle to fully incorporate new data. The resource-rational belief updating rule we derive provides a novel explanation for conservative Bayesian updating, where individuals tend to underweight the likelihood of new evidence. Our theory also generates predictions consistent with several process models, particularly those based on approximate Bayesian inference.
Predicting psychosis using social media and natural language processing: Potentials and pitfalls
Authors: Plank Laurin , Dere Ekrem , Zlomuzica Armin
Published: November 2024

Of all people that develop a mental disorder, most are recognized late, and many not at all. The insufficiency of mental health infrastructure, which is driving these problems, is even more pronounced in developing countries. This underlines the pressing need for global and scalable solutions to the diagnosis and prediction of individuals’ mental health. In this perspective, we argue for a possible utility of social media (SM) derived data combined with natural language processing (NLP) for the monitoring of individual-level mental health on a global scale. Using psychosis-spectrum disorders (PSD) as an example, we demonstrate how freely expressed speech can be processed automatically to predict and classify PSD with high levels of accuracy. We further outline the current state of PSD classification from SM-derived data and discuss methodological considerations that are hampering progress in this field. Finally, we delve into potential pitfalls of such systems and provide insight into how these may be navigated.

Dissociation, an altered state of consciousness in which individuals feel detached from their body, environment, and sense of self, is a common feature of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Despite its significance, the neurocognitive processes underlying dissociation remain poorly understood, potentially limiting the effectiveness of PTSD diagnostics and treatment. To address this gap, we apply network control theory to examine neural dynamics corresponding to dissociative states in two contexts: intravenous ketamine administration, an anesthetic known to induce dissociative states (n=30, healthy volunteers), and therapeutic interventions in PTSD patients expected to alleviate dissociative symptoms (n=78). Ketamine administration led to brain dynamics resembling those observed in PTSD patients pre-treatment, with increased dominance of a default mode network meta-state and decreased dominance of a somatomotor meta-state. While ketamine did not significantly alter the brain's energetic landscape, transition energies increased post-treatment in PTSD patients, potentially indicating more organized and less entropic brain dynamics.
Getting smart on green branding: Ideological sorting and the targeting of environmentally conscious branding
Authors: Orchinik Reed , Pardo Sanchez Santiago , Rand David Gertler
Published: November 2024

Implementing existing green digital technology at scale could lead to a 20% reduction in global emissions annually. However, climate change has become a central focus of the "culture wars" providing a significant hindrance to the adoption of this technology. Using two survey experiments (total N = 2,089), we show that there is substantial heterogeneity in purchasing intentions when the same pro-environmental product is called "smart" or "green." Environmental concern serves as an important moderator, with participants low in environmental concern showing a substantial aversion to green branding. We consider the marketing actions available to firms in this polarized environment and suggest that ideological sorting reduces the burden of targeting. We demonstrate that political party, an easily observable or inferred characteristic, provides a clean market segmentation correlating highly with environmental concern while capturing additional variation in the efficacy of green branding. Using simulations of multiple targeting schemes corresponding to different levels of sophistication and data access, we estimate that showing consumers the branding that aligns best with their political affiliation can increase purchasing intentions by 4%, performing just as well as a causal machine learning targeting approach. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that a 4% increase in purchasing intentions for just the five products tested here would reduce carbon emissions by approximately 1.2 gigatons by 2050, the equivalent of 5.4 million flights from London to New York City.
Semantic transparency affects the phonetic signal
Authors: Schebesta Annika , Nieder Jessica
Published: November 2024

Previous research has highlighted the impact of phonological factors and morphological structure on compound pronunciation, but the role of semantics in this interplay remains largely unexplored. Building on psycholinguistic findings that demonstrate semantic effects in compound processing, this study examines whether these effects extend to the production of English nominal triconstituent compounds. Using a state-of-the-art computational model to derive semantic transparency measures, we assessed the predictability of compound meanings from their constituents. Our regression model of experimental speech data revealed a notable duration difference between the first and second constituent and the third constituent for opaque compounds. For semantically transparent compounds, we find a shortening of the third constituent, diminishing the larger duration difference observed for less transparent compounds. These findings underscore the importance of semantic considerations in phonetic analyses of compound constituents, complementing prior research on morphological and phonological correlates of phonetic variation.

Factors Associated with the use of Institutional Delivery Services by Mothers in a Gorkha, Nepal Community
Authors: Bagale Archana , Lamichhane Shristi
Published: November 2024

Institutional delivery is a delivery that takes place at any medical facility staffed by skilled delivery assistance. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was adopted to find out the factors associated with institutional delivery service utilization among mothers. The study was done in wards 6 and 11 of Gorkha Municipality in Gorkha district. The sample size was 80. The data were analysed using SPSS 16. The majority of the respondents, i.e., 97.5%, were literate, and 60% of the respondents were homemakers. 38.5% of the respondent’s husband was involved in foreign employment. Obstetric factors for institutional delivery depict nearly three-fourths of the total respondents, i.e., 72.5% of mothers marry at the age of 15-20 years; nearly half, i.e., 48.8% of mothers deliver babies at the age of 21–25; and the majority of the respondents, i.e., 97.5%, visited for an ANC checkup more than four times. Only 18.8% had complications during pregnancy. The majority of the respondents, i.e., 97.5%, thought health institutions were the best place for delivery, of which 60.3% chose health institutions for quality services. The majority of the respondents, 93.8%, delivered babies at health institutions. Enabling factors for institutional delivery depict nearly two-thirds of the respondents, i.e., 62.5%, making their own decisions. The majority of the respondents, i.e., 85.7%, received delivery services by a nurse; nearly half of the respondents, i.e., 47.5%, travelled 30–60 minutes. More than half of the respondents (55.0%) went to health institutions by vehicle. Similarly, 57.1% of the respondents received health care within 15 minutes. The present study concluded that, in spite of the higher proportion of institutional delivery, no significant association was found among the selected socio-demographic variables, i.e., educational status, spouse educational status, ethnicity, religion level, and monthly income.

Published: November 2024

The presented work has explored the comparative study of electronic properties of semi conducting nanowires of different materials. These nanowires have critical role in photovoltaic and it shapes the future of new and renewable energy. The study has been performed for different shapes of nanowires. The various shapes under consideration are 2-atom Linear Nanowire, 2-atom Zigzag Nanowire, 4-atom Square Nanowire and 6-atom Hexagonal Nanowire. The findings for electronic properties reveal that 2-atom linear wire can be conducting as well semi conducting, 2-atom zigzag wire is conducting for almost all materials, 4-atom square wire is insulating for most of the materials while 6-atom hexagonal wire has come out to be insulating for all materials. Hence a semiconducting material shows conducting, semiconducting and insulating behavior depending on the proposed shape for various materials.
