An Empirical Study of the Impact of NREGA Implementation on Rural Poverty Rates in India
Authors: Sharma Aarav
Published: June 2024

The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), now known as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), was implemented in India with the objective of enhancing livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of wage employment per year to every household willing to do unskilled manual work. This study empirically examines the impact of NREGA on rural poverty rates in India, utilizing a Difference-in-Differences (DID) approach to analyze data from the National Sample Survey (NSS) and Census of India. The findings reveal a significant reduction in rural poverty rates in districts where NREGA was implemented compared to non-NREGA districts. The program has been particularly effective in regions with higher initial poverty levels, indicating successful targeting of the most vulnerable populations. Additionally, the study highlights regional variations in the impact of NREGA, with some areas experiencing greater benefits than others. The results suggest that while NREGA has substantially contributed to poverty reduction, its effectiveness is influenced by local governance and administrative capacities. Policy recommendations include improving administrative efficiency, enhancing the quality and sustainability of created assets, and complementing NREGA with other skill development and capacity-building initiatives. Addressing regional disparities and ensuring robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms are also crucial for maximizing the program’s impact.

Study and analysis of parallel N-body simulations
Authors: Arcencio Guilherme G. , Guardia Hélio Crestana
Published: June 2024

The N-body Problem involves predicting the motion of a group of astronomic particles under the influence of each other’s gravitational field. Due to the nonexistence of closed-form analytical solutions for N bigger than 2, numerical methods must be employed, and those do not scale well for large numbers of bodies. Thus, we developed and investigated parallel, high performance N-body simulations in GPUs and multi-core CPUs, and found that, even with dynamic time steps and synchronization requirements, GPUs massively reduce the time required by the simulations. While multi-core CPUs also allow for large speedups, they are vastly outperformed by the former.

Authors: Rocha Francisco Wallison , Francesquini Emilio , Cordeiro Daniel
Published: June 2024

The United Nations estimates that the world will reach around 10.4 billion people by 2050. Urban mobility problems already faced by large cities will be worsened, such as the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere. These problems require innovative solutions. Solutions within the context of smart cities emerge as an alternative, an example of which is simulations. However, large-scale simulations are still a challenge. Techniques such as SimEDaPE emerge to help face these challenges. For this reason, they must be robust techniques to deal with a large volume of data. Therefore, this work presents a new approach using the actor-based model to improve the performance of SimEDaPE. The approach proposed here proved to be 48× than its predecessors.

Authors: Al-Harthy Thuraya , Zoghaib Wajdi , Abdel-Jalil Raid
Published: June 2024

Heterocycles are widely distributed compounds in natural products and are involved in many biological processes. Its uses have been extended to different fields, including industry, medicine, and agriculture sectors. Benzazole is one of the popular heterocycle scaffolds known as a privilege structure which is commonly found in many pharmaceutical agents. Another outstanding scaffold is piperazine that is known as a distinguishable motif in drug design with a wide range of biological activities. One of the fruitful approaches in the drug design is a hybridization of privilege structures in one skeleton which are believed to grant a characteristic feature with improved or more selective biological activities than the two scaffolds. The effect that piperazine imparted while introduced into a benzazole has drawn attention since first used in the nineteenth century. Numerous research has been performed discussing the synthesis and biological activities of benzazoles containing piperazine. In this chapter, we will highlight a general introduction about chemistry and structure of piperazine, and its importance in medicinal chemistry and benzazole as well. Next, several studies will be discussed that highlight the importance of incorporating piperazine in benzazole skeletons, benzimidazole, benzothiazole, and benzoxazole, and biological activity inherited from this combination.

Household Head Smoking Behavior and Household Food Insecurity in South Africa: Evidence from National Income Dynamics Study Survey
Authors: Toyin Megbowon Ebenezer , Olalekan David Oladipo , Makhalima Jabulile
Published: June 2024

This study examines how the smoking behavior of household head impacts the food insecurity status of household in South Africa, with a focus on smoking behavior transition. The study used the fifth wave of the 2017 National Income Dynamics Study survey. Additionally, the smoking transition variable was computed using smoking status in waves 3 and 5 of the survey. Foster-Greer-Thorbecke food insecurity index, descriptive statistics, and logit regression techniques were deployed in the study. Surprisingly, the analysis shows that households headed by current smokers have a lower prevalence of food insecurity (compared to households whose heads are nonsmokers). Similarly, household food insecurity prevalence is lesser for homes whose head initiated smoking behavior or remained a smoker compared to those whose head remained a nonsmoker or transition to nonsmoking. Nevertheless, the findings from the applied logit regression suggested that household food insecurity significantly increases when a household head is a current smoker and a consistent smoker. The finding indicates that household head smoking behavior does contribute to household food insecurity in South Africa. The need to address food insecurity at the household level is a compelling argument for tobacco smoking cessation or control in addition to health consequence concerns.

Published: June 2024

The issue of high-water cut will have repercussions for every oil operator on the planet. The presence of scales, corrosion, and deterioration, along with the expense of separation, are all exacerbated by an overabundance of water production, driving up the price of lifting fluids. To understand the challenges faced by the many wells there, data from one of the offshore oil fields had to be analyzed. The autonomous inflow control valves (AICVs) method is used for water control in different reservoirs. Swell packers are used in the AICV method to permanently seal off the well. Additionally, the completion strategy for handling the high-water cut has been outlined. It also discusses the availability of many inflow control systems for well completion to stop undesired water production, as well as the efficacy of various water shut-off techniques. The study offers a complete approach for water control in horizontal wells for the future rehabilitation plan of the Offshore Field by analyzing the effectiveness of these technologies via a variety of case studies and literature research. After analyzing the reservoir and fluid properties of the western offshore field, a completion strategy was suggested for the future redevelopment plan.
Signal Transduction in Pituitary Functions
Authors: Yoshida Daizo , Teramoto Akira
Published: June 2024

Signal transduction plays a crucial role in the intricate functioning of the pituitary gland. Dopamine receptor type 2 (DRD2) signaling is representative. The actin-binding protein filamin A (FLNA) is essential for the expression and signaling of dopamine receptor type 2 (DRD2) in GH- and PRL-secreting pituitary tumors (PitNETs). FLNA acts, facilitating DRD2 signal transduction and influencing tumor responsiveness to dopaminergic drugs and somatostatin receptor ligands. Remarkably, when FLNA is phosphorylated at Ser2152 (P-FLNA), its role transitions from being a scaffold that facilitates SSTR2 signal transduction to becoming a signal termination protein that impairs SSTR2’s antitumoral effects in GH-secreting PitNETs. Activation of the cAMP pathway and stimulation of DRD2 agonists impact P-FLNA levels. Overexpression of a phosphomimetic (S2152D) FLNA mutant prevents DRD2’s antiproliferative effects, emphasizing the role of P-FLNA in DRD2 signaling. These include the phosphorylation of Janus Kinase (Jak) 2 and Signal Transduction and Activator of Transcription (STAT) 5. Once phosphorylated, these proteins modulate the activity of specific genes. For instance, they enhance the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase, which stimulates dopamine production, and activate the beta-casein gene, promoting milk protein synthesis. In lower vertebrates, the pituitary gland exhibits signal transduction mechanisms related to the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) system.

Published: June 2024

This study delves into the evolving vegetation cover in the Kashmir Himalayas, exploring the intricate relationship between herder migration, unmanaged grazing, and climate responses. It assesses the impact of herder migration and grazing practices on plant density and diversity across gradients and contrasting grazing regimes. The study highlights the destruction of wild ungulate habitats due to overgrazing, emphasizing the need to evaluate vegetation dynamics to understand the repercussions on wild fauna responses. Field surveys with standardized protocols show nuanced patterns: Native plant density rises, and invasive species density falls with distance from roads. Regression analyses showed significant relationships between vegetation characteristics and environmental variables such as altitude and proximity to roads. Comparative analyses between Local Herders and Seasonal Bakerwals provide insights into vegetation variables across grazing regimes. Findings suggest road proximity significantly shapes plant species distributions, with native species density increasing and invasive species density decreasing as distance from roads increases. Additionally, altitude influences plant diversity, with native diversity increasing and invasive diversity decreasing at higher altitudes. The study underscores the complex interplay between human activities and environmental factors in shaping vegetation dynamics, offering valuable insights for conservation strategies amidst evolving environmental pressures in the Kashmir Himalayas.

The leading international legal sources in the field of establishing sanctions for genocide are studied – the Charter of the International Military Tribunal for the trial and punishment of the main war criminals of the European Axis countries of August 8, 1945, United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/96 (I) dated 11 December 1946, Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 9 December 1948, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. It is established that at present, at the level of international law, there is an institution of responsibility for committing genocide: the subjective side of the crime is defined, preparatory and stimulating acts accompanying genocide are prescribed, which are also recognized as criminal. The main problems of the institution of international legal responsibility for genocide are identified: 1) the absence of permanent courts under the auspices of the UN; 2) limited jurisdictional authority of the International Criminal Court.

The Tyranny of Schools: Nature and Nation in the Schools of Transylvania and the Romanian Kingdom, 1870-1914
Authors: KOSZOR-CODREA Cosmin
Published: June 2024

This research investigates the development of the nature study movement in the
secondary schools of Transylvania and the Romanian Kingdom between 1870
and 1914. Building on the scholarship dealing with the rise of the “biological
perspective” in Germany, the paper deals with the roots of the Romanian nature
preservation movement and its relationship with the political and economic
projects of nation-building that developed in the dualist Austrian-Hungarian
Empire. It analyses how methodological changes in the teaching of natural history
and the introduction of teaching aids such as nature excursions, botanical school
gardens, and celebrations of birds and trees, influenced the development of a
nationalist, utilitarian, anthropocentric and racial approach toward the natural
environment.

Animation comes from the Latin word "anima" which means soul, life, spirit. Meanwhile, characters are people, animals and other real objects that are presented in the form of 2D and 3D images. So that animated characters can be interpreted as images containing objects that appear to be alive, caused by the collection of images changing regularly and alternately being displayed. Objects in images can be text, shapes, colors and special effects. The purpose of this community service is to improve the learning system and methods in learning. So that students do not feel bored in class. The result of the counseling is that the participants/teachers are able to make flash animations with this counseling and training and the participants are able to improve applying the flash animation learning method in class
Early Eocene fish otoliths from the eastern and southern USA

Published: June 2024

A collection of 1149 otoliths of the Ypresian and Ypresian–Lutetian transition (early Eocene) from 18 sites across five states in the eastern and southern regions of the USA was analyzed. In total, 33 otolith-based taxa are documented, of which 27 are identified at the species level. Nine of these are introduced as new species: “Conger” biaculeatus sp. nov., Bauzaia gibbosa sp. nov., Ampheristus brevicaudatus sp. nov., Symmetrosulcus virginicus sp. nov., Neobythites longesulcatus sp. nov., “Neobythites” pamunkeyensis sp. nov., “Neobythites” stringeri sp. nov., Waitakia dorsogibbosa sp. nov., and “Haemulon” ypresiensis sp. nov. The assemblages are distinct when compared to their younger Eocene counterparts in America. This distinction is primarily characterized by the high proportion of the newly introduced species or exclusive Ypresian species. Additionally, we highlight the presence of 10 amphi-Atlantic species originally described in European deposits. Significantly, the composition of the otolith collection supports the interpretation of a shallow-water environment for the sampled sites during the Ypresian. This ecological setting appears to persist into the subsequent middle and late Eocene within the same geographic region.

Published: June 2024

Background: Problem-based learning (PBL) has been identified as an effective instructional strategy, particularly in enhancing student outcomes in various subjects, including mathematics. However, its impact on senior secondary school students' mathematics achievement and attitudes in Ogun State, Nigeria, remains underexplored.Aims: This study aims to investigate the effects of PBL on the mathematics achievement and attitudes of senior secondary school students in the Ijebu Ode area of Ogun State, Nigeria. Additionally, it examines the influence of gender on students' attitudes towards mathematics.Method: A sample of 100 students was randomly selected from two senior secondary schools, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received instruction through PBL, while the control group followed traditional teaching methods. Six hypotheses were tested at a significance level of 0.05. Data were collected using a teaching guide on PBL, the Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT), and the Mathematics Attitude Scale, with reliabilities of 0.82 and 0.88, respectively. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the data.Results: The findings revealed a significant positive effect of PBL on both the achievement and attitudes towards mathematics among the senior secondary school students. Additionally, gender was found to significantly influence students' attitudes towards mathematics.Conclusion: The study concludes that PBL significantly enhances both mathematics achievement and attitudes among senior secondary school students in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. It recommends that schools integrate student-centered teaching methods, including PBL, into their curricula and encourage teachers to adopt these strategies.
