Solar Plasma Structures and Solar Wind Plasma Turbulences in Relation with Geomagnetic Disturbances during Decline Phase of Solar Cycle 24 and Rising Phase of Solar Cycle 25
Authors: Kumar S. , Sharma R. , Tripathi O. P. , Verma P. L.
Published: February 2024

We have studied the effect of solar structures and turbulences in solar wind plasma on the Earth's magnetosphere during the decline phase of solar cycle 24 and the rising phase of solar cycle 25. Most CMEs are geoeffective, cause geomagnetic storms, and are associated with C-class and M-class solar flares (S.F.s). It is also observed that these geomagnetic storms are associated with disturbances in solar wind plasma parameters. We have determined a large positive correlation with a correlation coefficient of 0.68, 0.58, 0.65, and 0.63 between the magnitude of the extensive geomagnetic storms and the peak value of IMF Btotal, the magnitude of IMF Btotal, the peak value of disturbances in the southward component of interplanetary magnetic fields (IMF Bz), and magnitude of disturbances in the southward component of interplanetary magnetic fields (IMF Bz). The correlation coefficient of 0.61 is higher between the magnitude of Dst and the magnitude of SWPT, as compared with the magnitude of flow pressure (0.39). From the present work, we have concluded that solar plasma structures and solar wind turbulences are mainly responsible for generating extensive geomagnetic storms.

Published: February 2024

Fe-doped ZnO nano catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method. The intrinsic characteristics of a prepared nano Fe-doped ZnO catalyst were studied using a variety of techniques including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). In this study, degradation of Ponceau S as a dye pollutant was investigated in the presence of ZnO and Fe-doped ZnO nano catalyst using sonolysis, photocatalysis, sonocatalysis and sonophotocatalysis. The UV light and ultrasonic probsonicator at 20 kHz and 150 W powers were used as an irradiation source. The effect of H2O2 on sonocatalytic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic degradation was investigated. At optimum conditions the dye degradation efficiency was influenced by addition of H2O2, the highest dye degradation was obtained as 98 % by US+UV+Fe-doped ZnO+H2O2 for 40 mg/L dye concentration after 90min. The experimental kinetic data followed the pseudo-first order model in doped and undoped sonocatalytic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic processes but the rate constant of sonophotocatalysis is higher than sonocatalysis and photocatalysis process. The sonophotocatalysis was always faster than the respective individual processes due to the more formation of reactive radicals as well as the increase of the active surface area of nano catalyst.
Anisotropic L. R. S. Bianchi type-V Cosmological Models with Bulk Viscous String within the Framework of Saez-Ballester Theory in Five-Dimensional Spacetime
Authors: Daimary J. , Baruah R. R.
Published: February 2024

When the source for the energy-momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings, a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-V cosmological model is considered in this paper in a scalar-tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez-Ballester, we derive a determinate solution utilizing the plausible physical conditions: (i) the scalar of spacetime expansion is proportional to the shear scalar; (ii) the baratropic equation of state for pressure and density; and (iii) the bulk viscous pressure is related to the energy density. The model's physical and kinematic features are also discussed.

Authors: Das U. J. , Das Mira
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the unsteady, magnetohydrodynamic, incompressible, Couette flow of viscoelastic fluid through equidistant upright plates in the presence of permeable media, continuous heat fluxes, heat source, and energy dissipation. The flow is restricted by the flow between two equidistant upright plates, one moving and the other at rest, and the formation of free convection due to a fixed wall at a time-dependent temperature, while heat flow is constant on the wall moving upwards in its plane. The problem is solved analytically, and the expression for velocity and temperature are derived. The effect of numerous physical parameters on the flow is discussed. The local skin friction is also represented graphically, and the Nusselt number is given in the table.

Authors: Bharambe J. S. , Borgaonkar P. , Pujari V. B.
Published: February 2024

Nanoparticles of pure TiO2 and carbon doped TiO2 (at various concentrations 1, 2, 3 and 4 %) were synthesised by Sol gel method using titanium butoxide and glucose as a precursors for Titanium dioxide and carbon respectively. The samples were calcinated at 500 °C. Photocatalytic activity of the samples was tested for photodegradation of methylene blue dye. Morphological and elemental analysis of the samples were carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), X-ray diffraction and micro-raman spectroscopy while for optical characterization UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra were employed.  Results of all samples indicated crystallite growth in a tetragonal structure with the variation in crystallite size in the range 9 nm to 12.6 nm with increase in the concentration of dopant in TiO2. Diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) analysis indicated that the band gap of all doped TiO2 nanoparticles is lesser than that of the pure TiO2 whereas 4C-TiO2 showed smallest band gap (2.98 eV). The maximum photocatalytic activity was observed with 4C-TiO2 among all the samples.

Authors: Saha S.
Published: February 2024

An ionic liquid tagged schiff base, [1-{2-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)ethyl}-3-methylimidazolium]PF6 was synthesized from a functionalized ionic liquid (FIL) 2-aminoethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [2-aemim]PF6 and salicylaldehyde without using any organic solvent. The Schiff base was used as a ligand to trap Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II) ions from its corresponding metal acetates and to form the new transition metal complexes. The synthesized  Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II) complexes along with the Schiff base were characterized by ESI-MS, PXRD, UV-Visible, FT-IR, 1H NMR spectroscopic and analytical (elemental analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurements) methods. Based on these spectral analysis data tetra coordinated geometries were assigned for the newly synthesized metal(II) complexes. Antibacterial sensitivity of the Schiff base and the Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II) complexes were evaluated against gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria to assess their minimum zone of inhibition.

Authors: Singh R. K. , Mamta K.
Published: February 2024

This paper presents a compact, novel, quad patch and triple band single substrate microstrip patch antenna for 5G/6G mm wave applications. The aim is to design an antenna within the K-band with three resonance frequencies at 24, 29, and 34 GHz. The antenna is designed on a volumetric dimension of 11×12.7×1.6 mm3. The substrate used is FR4 (dielectric constant 4.4), having a loss tangent of 0.0022. A microstrip line of width 1 mm for a 50 Ω impedance line is used to match with the load antenna, which has four rectangular connected patches. Patch dimensions come from standard antenna equations and simulation done on Ansys High-Frequency Structure Simulator software. Validation of simulated results is done through measurements on the prototype antenna. A substantial good agreement is found between the simulated and measured results. The gain of the proposed antenna is 6.16 dBi, with return loss being ≤-10 dB. Bandwidths are 1.1 GHz (23.8 - 24.9 GHz), 0.9 GHz (28.6 - 29.5 GHz), and 0.8 GHz (33.7 – 34.5 GHz), respectively. The far-field radiation characteristics of both E-plane and H-plane are also reported. The proposed design is suitable for mm wave applications, including smart vehicles, global positioning systems, radio frequency identifications, etc.

Published: February 2024

The objective of our research is to analyze the properties of FDD sets in the corona of two graphs and explore their practical application in CCTV camera installation. A set F ⊆ V(G) is considered to be a Fair Detour Dominating set (FDD-set) if it is detour dominating and the number of neighbors within set F is the same for any pair of vertices outside of F. Among these FDD sets, the fγd-set refers to the FDD-set with the smallest number of vertices, and its order defines the Fair Detour Domination number (fγd  (G)). We have established that for any arbitrary graphs G1 and  G2, fγd (G1 o G2)   = |V(G1) iff fd(G2)  = 1 we have determined the  fγd number of corona products of any connected graph G with the path graph as well as the cycle graph. We also characterized FDD sets in the corona product of two connected graphs and provided a thorough description of how FDD sets can be used in optimizing CCTV camera installation for efficient surveillance.

Radicalism in Ali Jinnah's Land, Religion or Group Matters?
Authors: Alauddin Muhammad Badat , Zuhair Rofi Hamzah , Al-Haidary Abdullah Haq
Published: February 2024

This article examines the issue of radicalism in Pakistan, often identified as the "Land of Ali Jinnah," reflecting the values and vision of its founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Radicalism has been a deep-seated issue in Pakistan, with debates over whether religious or group factors play a more critical role in strengthening radical movements in the country. This article examines the historical development of radicalism in Pakistan, analyzes the factors that influence the spread of radical ideology, and considers the implications of this view on regional and global stability. Through a comprehensive analytical approach, it explores the role of religion as a central element in radicalism in Pakistan, highlighting the role of incorrect or extreme religious understandings in motivating individuals to engage in radical activity. It also examines how group factors such as economic inequality, political discontent and ethnic tensions are essential in strengthening radical movements in Pakistan. The result is that some extremist thinking is based on some of the conservative madrassa education curricula, and some people who lack access to education are, therefore, easily duped and pitted by vested interests. The importance of understanding the balance between religion and group factors in the context of radicalism in Pakistan is that prevention and countermeasures can be more effective. This investigation provides greater insight into the complexity of the issue. It provides a basis for formulating better strategies to address radicalism in the country, which will positively impact regional and global peace and stability.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to examine the practice of Shalawat in the context of Nusantara culture through an analysis of the interpretation of Surah al-Ahzab verse 56. Shalawat, as a form of praise for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), has become an integral part of the religious life of Muslim communities worldwide, including in the Nusantara region. The interpretation of Surah al-Ahzab verse 56 serves as one of the primary sources for understanding the concept of Shalawat in Islam. The research methodology encompasses literature analysis, an understanding of cultural contexts, and a review of both classical and contemporary interpretations. This study explores the interpretation of the Quranic verses related to Shalawat from the perspectives of theology (aqidah), jurisprudence (fiqh), and Sufism (tasawuf). It also involves an analysis of Surah al-Ahzab verse 56 through three distinct scholarly lenses: theological interpretation, jurisprudential interpretation, and Sufi interpretation. Furthermore, this research delves into the operationalization and implications of the meaning of Shalawat within the context of its practice in Indonesia, taking into account ideologies, traditions, and spirituality. The findings of this research reveal that the practice of Shalawat in Nusantara takes various forms, both theoretically and pragmatically, in accordance with the Quranic command. Surah al-Ahzab verse 56 is interpreted through three distinct scholarly perspectives, collectively providing a profound understanding of the practice of Shalawat within Nusantara culture. This study offers deeper insights into the role of Quranic interpretation in shaping the understanding and implementation of Shalawat, as well as its relevance within the Indonesian cultural context.
Qiraah Ibn Katsir al-Makki: One Meaning of Qur'anic Interpretation Among the Varieties of Recitation
Authors: Putri Nur Azny Agustina , Aditama Rahmat Yusuf , Fauzia Namira
Published: February 2024

Variations in Qur'Änic interpretations are complex phenomena often influenced by a variety of factors. One of the main factors that contributes significantly to these variations in interpretation is the differences in Qur'Änic recitation, known as "qira'at.â€ In this context, one of the main figures in qira'at is Ibn Kathir al-Makki, who is known for his two main narrators, Qunbul and al-Bazzi, who played a crucial role in popularizing Ibn Kathir's recitation. This study aims to further explore Ibn Kathir al-Makki's recitation and analyze its impact on Qur'anic interpretation, with a particular focus on the narrations introduced by Qunbul and al-Bazzi. The research method used was library research, where the main source of data came from the relevant literature. The approach adopted was descriptive-analytical, which aimed to describe and re-verify the data found in the literature. The results of this study indicate that although qira'at plays an important role in the understanding of the Qur'an and can be significant in revealing the meaning of the Qur'an, there are situations where variations in readings between qira'at Imams do not always result in significant differences in Qur'anic interpretation. This demonstrates the complexity of the interpretive process and emphasizes the need to consider a wider context and other factors in understanding the Qur'Än.
Al-Taqdim wa al-Ta'khir: Linguistic Rules in Qur'anic Interpretation
Authors: Wardah Lailatul , Fikri Syarifuddin Ala Dzil
Published: February 2024

This scientific article discusses the concept of Al-Taqdim wa al-Taâ€™khir in the context of language in the interpretation of the Qur'an. Al-Taqdim wa al-Taâ€™khir are important principles in Arabic that are influential in understanding the Qur'anic text. Al-Taqdim refers to the order of words in a sentence, while Al-Ta'khir refers to the emphasis or delay of words in a sentence. In the Qur'anic exegesis, a correct understanding of these principles can affect the interpretation and meaning of Qur'anic verses. This article will discuss how Al-Taqdim and Al-Ta'khir are used in Qur'Änic exegesis and how these principles can help in understanding the meaning of the sacred text. In addition, this article will illustrate the important role of Al-Taqdim wa al-Taâ€™khir in assisting mufassirs (exegetes) in dealing with complex Arabic language challenges that may arise in the Qur'anic verses.  The research method used in this study was library research using a descriptive-analytic research approach. The research was carried out in two stages. The first stage is deductive by finding various studies or references regarding Al-Taqdim wa al-Taâ€™khir and discussing them in general. The second stage is inductive, by quoting, managing, and analyzing various relevant literature on the subject matter, reviewing, and concluding. The results showed that Al-Taqdim wa al-Taâ€™khir in the rules of tafsir is related to the memorization and meaning of the verses of the Qur'an. Al-Taqdim wa al-Taâ€™khir is putting words in the order before and after the original order. This is because of a certain necessity or urgency. These changes result in confusion about the meaning or loss of beauty of the word order. However, it is better to put it first if there is a specific meaning conveyed by the change in order. This is so long that the change is justified by the rules of language.

Authors: Lee Donghyeon , Lee Sooyeon , Choi Kyung Seek
Published: February 2024

Purpose: Various vitrectomy probes are currently being used commercially, and there are ongoing efforts toward developing probes with higher cutting rates and smaller gauges. This study aimed to compare the efficiency and safety of various commercially available small gauge ultrahigh-speed dual pneumatic vitrectomy probes.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients and recorded intraoperative videos while they underwent microincision three-port vitrectomy surgery for idiopathic epiretinal membrane at Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital. The patients were categorized into four groups based on the vitrectomy probe used during surgery: 23-7500 (UltraVit 23-gauge 7,500 cuts per minute [CPM]), 23-7500 (UltraVit 25-gauge 7,500 CPM), 25-10K (Advanced UltraVit 25-gauge 10,000 CPM), and 27-10K (Advanced UltraVit 27-gauge 10,000 CPM).Results: In total, 82 eyes from 82 patients were included in this work, with 16, 11, 26, and 29 eyes in groups 23-7500, 25-7500, 25-10K, and 27-10K, respectively. The corresponding vitrectomy times were 295.56 ± 53.55, 293.09 ± 50.28, 299.92 ± 59.42, and 349.38 ± 67.23 seconds, respectively. There was a significant difference in the vitrectomy time between the groups (p = 0.004). The mean number of sutures was 3, 3, 2.96, and 0.83, respectively. In the 23-7500 group, there was one case of iatrogenic retinal break, while in the 27-10K group, there was one case of postoperative hypotony.Conclusions: Although advancements have been made in the 27-gauge vitrectomy probe, it still takes more vitrectomy time than it does when using the 23- and 25-gauge probes. However, the delay was within an average of 1 minute, and considering the significantly reduced need for sutures, there is a substantial benefit in terms of postoperative discomfort. Therefore, when choosing a probe for epiretinal membrane surgery among the four options, it is reasonable to select the 27-gauge probe according to the surgeon’s preference.

Published: February 2024

There is an increasing awareness regarding organic farming in the world. But, Pakistani farmers yet to be realize about worst effect of modern agricultural practice. Hence alternative types of farming particularly the organic farming is hour of the need to get rid of inorganic fertilizers, chemicals, pesticides and some growth regulators etc. Manure has been utilized for centuries as a chief source of nutrients in agriculture. However, soil properties that mainly contribute to improve soil health are affected by application of manure i.e. Bulk density, soil aggregate stability, infiltration, soil water holding capacity, and biological properties are impacted to numerous degrees with manure application. Imbalance application of inorganic fertilizers and or no application of organic fertilizers can easily loosen the soil and elevate erosion and loss soil fertility. Inorganic fertilizers losses from agricultural field are more and also act as major source of atmospheric pollution. Therefore, proper application of organic and inorganic fertilizers can improve soil properties and fertility. Manure provides all essential nutrients required by plants but in limited quantities. It helps in maintaining C:N ratio in soil and also increases soil fertility and productivity. Due to increase in biological activity, nutrients that are in lower depths are easily available for plants. It also acts as much, thereby minimizing evaporation losses from the soil.

Wheat is an important grain crop in the world and in Pakistan. Leaf rust is one of the detrimental disease and widespread in the world due to its distribution and higher adaptive capabilities. For screening of wheat germplasm against leaf and stripe rust, 150 varieties/lines were evaluated each entry was planted as single row and Morocco (susceptible) was included to every 10 entry in the nursery Moreover  the use of fungicide on wheat crop is prohibited in Pakistan as it is being consumed as staple food, because of the widespread losses being caused by the leaf rust fungicides are being used to minimized the losses being caused by the disease so the potential of different chemicals for controlling leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina was evaluated under this study. Therefore, three foliar different fungicides/chemicals were selected for evaluation named as Mycoguard (Azoxysterobin), Score (Diaphenaconazole) and Tilt (Propioconazol), with doses of 125ml/10L, 125ml/10L and 200ml/10L respectively were tested under field conditions and T4 was kept as control these chemicals, when applied at booting and leaf emergence stages. Screening result showed, out of 150 varieties/advanced lines screened against leaf rust of wheat. 26 were moderately resistant, 28 lines showed moderately susceptible response, 51 were resistant and remaining lines were susceptible. Among above captioned fungicides Mycoguard significantly reduced the disease upto 56%. The second best treatment was score which induced reduction upto 50%. All the data was statistically analyzed. Therefore, it is suggested that Mycoguard can be effectively employed to control leaf rust disease in wheat crop.

Published: February 2024

Twenty cucumber varieties were evaluated for resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) under greenhouse and field conditions. CMV disease severity was recorded with a disease rating scale and CMV was detected with Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. The use of salicylic acid (SA) for disease management in the greenhouse and field was also evaluated. Systemic acquired resistance was observed by measuring total phenolics and protein content. The varietal screening results showed that only two lines, Beit-alpha and Durga, were resistant to CMV, with 10% and 13.33% disease severity, respectively. Exogenous application of SA significantly increased total phenolics and protein content compared to control under both greenhouse and field experiments. Higher concentrations of SA proved to be most effective at inhibiting virus replication and disease severity. CMV severity is correlated with the aphid population, and plant extracts and detergent offered an eco-friendly approach to reduce the aphid population and disease severity, with neem extract being the most effective. This study shows that exogenous application of SA and plant extracts are good strategies for reducing CMV severity.

Published: February 2024

The availability of broad and comprehensive public data pertinent to the development of social, including public health events has produced many in-sights and hypothesis that were in understanding the problems and producing effective responses. To allow comparison and analysis of different data points such as populations, groups, jurisdictions, etc., a range of methods and approaches was developed, among the most common being per capita metrics. Here we examine the assumptions and caveats that can be associated with this method and outline the directions in which it can be enhanced in the cases where its applicability can be limited due to the conditions and constraints of the problem.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) and diabetic retinopathy (DR), as microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, are currently the leading causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and blindness, respectively, in the adult working population, and they are major public health problems with social and economic burdens. The parallelism between the two in the process of occurrence and development manifests in the high overlap of disease-causing risk factors and pathogenesis, high rates of comorbidity, mutually predictive effects, and partial concordance in the clinical use of medications. However, since the two organs, the eye and the kidney, have their unique internal environment and physiological processes, each with specific influencing molecules, and the target organs have non-parallelism due to different pathological changes and responses to various influencing factors, this article provides an overview of the parallelism and non-parallelism between DN and DR to further recognize the commonalities and differences between the two diseases and provide references for early diagnosis, clinical guidance on the use of medication, and the development of new drugs.
Microbes of biotechnological importance in acidic saline lakes in the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia

Acidic salt lakes are environments that harbor an array of biologically challenging conditions. Through 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, and ITS amplicon sequencing of eight such lakes across the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia, we aim to understand the microbial ecology of these lakes with a focus on iron- and sulfur-oxidizing and reducing microorganisms that have theoretical application in biomining industries. In spite of the biological challenges to life in these lakes, the microbial communities were highly diverse. Redundancy analysis of soil samples revealed sulfur, ammonium, organic carbon, and potassium were significant diversities of the microbial community composition. The most abundant microbes with a hypothetical application in biomining include the genus 9 M32 of the Acidithiobacillus family, Alicyclobacillus and Acidiphilium, all of which are possible iron- and/or sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. It is evident through this study that these lakes harbor multiple organisms with potential in biomining industries that should be exploited and studied further.
