2 • The (Re)Discovery of Cyprus Antiquity in the Eighteenth Century
Authors: Bombardieri Luca
Published: July 2024

The spread of archaeological findings on the island is nothing new. Apart from the sporadic finds of coins from Kition (Cizio) by the Florentine merchant Alessandro Rinuccini and the inscriptions transcribed in Cyprus by Ciriaco di Ancona in the mid-fifteenth century, during the last phase of Venetian rule, antiquarian interests had already taken on the appearance of a widespread phenomenon in Cyprus. In this period, numerous travel accounts document the exploration of archaeological sites with the explicit intention of recovering ancient remains, which quickly became popular souvenirs for pilgrims and, on a larger scale, antiquarian fetishes to be recognised as valuable in the process of ideological legitimisation of the Serenissima’s aristocracy.
4 • Conclusioni: (Fine della) storia e metastoria
Authors: Furlan Francesco
Published: July 2024

The conclusive chapter underlines how the development of post-Quranic eschatological production aligned with the broader identity construction process of Islam among late antique monotheisms, by operating a dual movement: a reclaiming of ancient monotheistic traditions and, at the same time, a distancing from ‘other’ religious confessions. The reception and transformation of earlier eschatological elements aimed to neutralise uncertainty and mark continuity within a framework of clear religious distinctions.
La ecocrítica del siglo XXI (y de los siglos por venir)
Authors: Marrero Henríquez José Manuel
Published: July 2024

En ocasiones las ciencias crean su propio objeto de estudio, así sucedió con la literariedad, los rasgos distintivos del objeto literario a los que prestaron su atención los formalistas rusos, así también acaeció con el fonema, un concepto estructuralista de sonido sin existencia física y una abstracción fundamental para analizar las sonoridades fácticas a que la fonética presta atención y para la mejor comprensión y aprendizaje de la oralidad de los idiomas. En ocasiones las ciencias no inventan sus campos de indagación sino que adoptan ante una materia ya sólidamente establecida una perspectiva novedosa, capaz de iluminarla y renovarla como ente de pertinencia científica. Éste es el caso de la ecocrítica, que desde sus inicios en la última década del siglo XX ha conseguido poner sobre la palestra de las Humanidades del siglo XXI la relevancia académica de introducir la perspectiva ecológica en la lectura de textos literarios, de obras de arte y, en general, en las disciplinas del conocimiento, sean cuales fueren, desde la Historia a la Economía, desde el Derecho a la Economía, desde la Medicina, la Ingeniería, la Cibernética y la Arquitectura a la Teología y la Filosofía, la Sociología y la Agronomía. En la era del Antropoceno la perspectiva ecológica es esencial en el estudio, análisis e interpretación de todas las manifestaciones de la cultura y, precisamente por serlo en alto grado, invita a hacer porosos los límites de las disciplinas a las que afecta y a abrir nuevos espacios de actuación política e indagación científica y artística.

Published: July 2024

Problem. The article examines environmental pollution through uncontrolled discharges of lubricants into natural objects, and suggests methods of reducing pollution by installing stands for the regeneration of lubricants. The article is analytical in nature and is based on the survey research method. The object of the author's study is the impact of oil products on the environment and the regeneration and processing of used lubricants by physical, chemical and combined methods. Goal. The goal is to study the collection and regeneration of lubricants and the analysis of machine installations for regeneration. This study aims to analyze actions to reduce uncontrolled discharges of lubricants and their impact on the environment. Methodology. This study is aimed at the analysis of methods to reduce discharges of lubricants caused by human negligence. Results. It is possible to accept environmental sustainability and reduction of man-made impact on the surrounding environment as well as the economic benefit of this project, because the processing of used lubricant reduces the cost of purchasing new lubricant and increases the use of secondary material. Originality. We would like to note that the research and improvement of the regeneration of lubricants continues and this topic is popularized, because it is our future. Lubricants will not disappear anywhere, humanity will continue to use them. Of course, the priority is to reduce the use of oils, but they are needed even in electric cars, not to mention agricultural machinery, airplanes, railway transport, etc. Practical value. The main important aspect is that all the installations as proposed in the article are mobile, they do not require physical exertion for installation, but practical knowledge. Similarly, the tanks for collecting lubricants are mobile and can be easily transported to deliver the lubricant to the place of regeneration. These measures contribute to the preservation of the environment, and eliminate the man-made impact on flora and fauna.

Los empeños de un embajador, la diplomacia y el derecho al asilo en tiempos revolucionarios. Gilberto Bosques en Cuba
Authors: López Ávalos Martín
Published: July 2024

Por medio de tres apartados y una conclusión, se presenta la labor diplomática del embajador mexicano Gilberto Bosques en su misión en Cuba de 1953 a 1964. Se plantea que la labor diplomática de Bosques fue importante para mantener una agenda mutua entre Cuba y México en tiempos convulsos. Se señala que no existe un vínculo lineal entre asilados y exiliados políticos, debido a que la mayoría de los activistas del Movimiento 26 de Julio salieron de Cuba con visado de turistas. Se concluye que la política de asilo de México es el resultado de diversos factores que convergen a favor de su aplicación, en este caso, la simpatía del embajador Bosques y del presidente en turno en el marco de luchas inter burocráticas.

Evaluating End-to-End Delay in Road-Based Routing Protocols for VANETs with Snake Optimization
Authors: Al-Maliki Hanadi Hassan karim , AL-Asadi Hamid
Published: July 2024

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) require efficient routing protocols due to their dynamic network  topologies and high mobility. This paper proposes a Road-Based Vehicular Traffic (RBVT), which combines reactive (RBVT-R) and proactive (RBVT-P) routing protocols to improved the performance. We evaluate the impact of RBVT on Average End-to-End Delay (AEED) by comparing it with existing protocols such as AODV, DSR, GPSR, OLSR, DSDV, and WRP. Furthermore, we integrate Snake Optimization Algorithm (SOA) with RBVT to optimize routing and reduce AEED. Simulations demonstrate that SOA-RBVT significantly reduces AEED compared to baseline protocols, especially in dense VANET scenarios.
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces Between the Reality and Imagination

Published: July 2024

One interesting idea that could improve wireless communication systems is reconfigurable intelligent surfaces or RIS. To control the spread of wireless signals, RIS uses a plethora of tiny, inexpensive, and customizable reflecting devices. Signal strength, energy consumption, spectrum efficiency, and adaptability to changes in the wireless environment can all be improved by altering the phase shift of the reflecting elements. This is how RIS works. 5G and beyond, the IoT, and smart cities are just a few of the many potential uses for RIS. More study is required before this technology can reach its full potential since it is still in its infancy. Still, RIS is going to be big in the next generation of wireless networks. A great deal of excitement has enveloped the whole 6G development industry. There has been no shortage of grandiose and frequently unfounded assertions that, in reality, the creation of a full-duplex 5G technology that can introduce new services is just around the corner, even though self-interference cancellation schemes for full-duplex communications and the difficulties of building full-duplex base stations have long been known.

Published: July 2024

We aim to evaluate the efficacy and optimal dose of orally administered DHEA in the PCOS mice model by assessing their ovarian morphology and serum FSH, LH, and testosterone levels. Female C57BL/6 mice were divided into a control group (n=5, received daily injections of 0.2 ml sesame oil) and an experimental group, which was further classified into 1) D-45 group (n=5), 2) D-60 (n=5), and 3) D-90 group (n=5) that were treated with 45, 60, and 90 mg/Kg body weight of oral DHEA. After modelling, mice in the control group had a regular estrous cycle, while mice in all experimental groups had a disturbed estrous cycle. Ovarian histology showed several growing follicles and some corpora lutea (CL) in the control, D-60, and D-90 groups. However, some large antral follicles and decreased CL were observed in the D-45 group. Serum FSH was significantly lower in the D-45 group than in the control group (3.73 ± 0.12 vs. 5.28 ± 0.31 mIU/mL, P<0.01), but D-60 and D-90 groups had a similar FSH level to the control group (P>0.05). The serum level of LH and testosterone were significantly elevated in the D-45 group than in the control group (2.52 ± 0.43 vs. 1.30 ± 0.33 mIU/mL, P<0.01 and 1.80 ± 0.32 vs. 1.24 ± 0.23 ng/mL, P<0.01, respectively). Still, the level of LH and testosterone in the D-60 and the D-90 groups was comparable to the control group (P>0.05). Our study suggests that oral administration of DHEA is efficacious in establishing PCOS-like phenotype in mice with the suggested optimal dosage of 45 mg/Kg body weight.

Published: July 2024

Tallow is a by-product of the meat processing industry. Tallow is commonly used as a raw material in soap making. This studi aims to evaluate the antibacterial activity of tallow-based soap with varying amounts of tea tree and peppermint extracts. This study used a completely randomized design with the addition of tea tree and peppermint extracts 0% (P1), addition 2% (P2), addition 5% (P3), addition 8% (P4). The parameters of this study were water content, pH, free fatty acids, and antibacterial activity tests against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Propionibacterium acnes. The results showed that tea tree and peppermint extracts had no significant effect on the water content, pH and free fatty acid values. Meanwhile, the results of antibacterial activity showed significantly different results (P<0.05) for E. coli and S. aureus but were not significant for P. acnes. Adding tea tree and peppermint extracts to tallow-based soap can enhance its antibacterial properties without affecting the physical quality of the soap.

Published: July 2024

ObjectiveTo assess the effectiveness of a multicomponent waitlist optimisation strategy on the proportion of patients overdue to be seen for a neurosurgical (spinal pain) outpatient service at an Australian public hospital.MethodsAn interrupted time series study in the outpatient department of a tertiary referral hospital in New South Wales, Australia. We implemented seven of waitlist optimisation strategies aimed at improving appropriate referrals and addressing extended neurosurgical wait times for spinal pain. We compared a pre-implementation phase (January 2015–January 2016, a transition phase (February 2016–December 2017), and a post-implementation phase (January 2018–January 2020). We included data from all adults who had been referred for neck and back pain to the neurosurgical outpatient service. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients overdue to be seen (based on their triage category) for a given month. Secondary outcomes were: i) proportion of patients that were waiting longer than one year for an initial appointment for a given month and ii) the total neurosurgical waitlist number.ResultsWe included data from 11,520 unique individuals who had a mean age of 54 years (SD 17), 51% (5,900) were female, and 8.8% (1,004) identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. Across the three phases, there were 26,928 monthly data points pre-implementation, 36,009 transition, and 15,326 post-implementation. Our primary model showed a 7% reduction (OR 0.93 [95% CI 0.89,0.97]) in the odds of being overdue to be seen in the post-implementation phase, compared to pre-implementation. We observed a reduction in the monthly average number of patients on the neurosurgical waitlist from pre-implementation (2,071 [SD 171]) to post-implementation (613 [SD 96]).ConclusionThe waitlist optimisation strategies tested in this study led to a large reduction in the proportion of patients overdue to be seen on the neurosurgical waitlist, as well as the proportion of patients waiting longer than one year for an initial appointment and the total neurosurgical waitlist number. The tested strategies can be used by other services to address extended waits in outpatient services.

Authors: Dixit Akash
Published: July 2024

In this paper, the axioms of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) pre-sented by Worden, Farrar, Manson, and Park [2007] are discussed in detail. In many cases, the intent of the axioms is found to be correct, but theterminologies used are confusing. Also, it was found that some axioms could be derived from other axioms that were given in that paper itself. Based on the discussion presented in this paper, it is suggested to replace the seven axioms given in ibid with a set of three new axioms. The main plus point of the axioms given in the paper over those given in ibid is conciseness. Counter-examples are presented to dispute the axioms where necessary. Similar to Worden et al. [2007], the term axiom is used outside its meaning in the field of mathematics and logic. In ibid, the term axiom is stated to refer to the fundamental truth which have not been contra-dicted in the field of SHM. However, in this paper, the word axiom refers to its second meaning in Merriam Webster dictionary “am established rule or principle or self evident truth.”

The calculation of resources and reserves is carried out base on several factors, namely: Sediment Geology, Exploration Method, Type of data owned, purpose of calculation, and desired level of confidence. There are several methods for calculating resources and reserves, including: Area of Influence, Cross Section, Polygon, Triangulation, Isoline, as well as several Interpolation Methods such as : Ordinary Kriging (OK), Neighborhood Nearest Point (NNP) and Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW). Therefore, it is necessary to carry out an analysis related to the method of calculating the right resources and reserves in order to produce more accurate estimates of resources and reserves. The author analyses by making comparisons between several previous studies by looking at the advantages and disadvantages of these methods based on existing literature studies.

Faults are conditions under which rocks are displaced from their original positions. Its presence is closely related to its high tectonic activity. Fault movement can trigger earthquake disasters. Therefore, various studies on faults are important for carrying out disaster mitigation efforts. This study aims to identify the existence of faults in Sumbawa Besar as a disaster mitigation effort. The method used was a combination of geophysical methods and geological field observations. Geophysical methods include the average shear wave method (VS30) and the gravity method. The geological method consists of direct geological observations (geomorphology and structural geology) in the research area. The results of research based on geophysical methods, namely the gravity method, showed that in the research area, there were indications of thrust faults, which were then strengthened by VS30 analysis, which showed the existence of weak zones along the suspected fault lines. The results of field data collection and geological data analysis show that no surface fault characteristics were found in the research area.
Akademske slobode kao regulatorno načelo
Authors: Grubišić Ksenija
Published: July 2024

Središnje pitanje rada jest u kojoj mjeri su filozofska promišljanja akademskih sloboda danas mjerodavna za procjenu poštivanja odnosno praćenja njihova ostvarivanja. Naime, u sve očitijim jačanjima društvenih funkcija sveučilišta sve je prisutnija i teza kako takve funkcije onemogućavaju ostvarivanje akademskih sloboda i drugih povezanih načela. Tim povodom, u kontekstu različitih teorijskih pristupa, tematiziraju se bitna obilježja sveučilišta koja svoje ishodište imaju u zaštiti slobode nastave i istraživanja. Iako se ti pristupi razlikuju, općeprihvaćeno je da su istaknute slobode temeljne djelatnosti koje mogu biti protumačene kao sveučilišne samo u onoj mjeri u kojoj doprinose poštivanju i razvoju akademskih sloboda. Međutim, njihovo je ostvarivanje u postojećim europskim integracijskim i reformskim procesima sve upitnije. Stoga se, u kontekstu odabranih etičkih i pravnih teorija, istražuje na koji način tumačiti načela koja bi trebala omogućavati učinkovitiju primjenu akademskih sloboda, uzimajući pritom u obzir i (ne)mogućnost njihova ostvarivanja, pod uvjetom da postoji jasna ideja što sveučilište jest.

Georgia

Published: July 2024

In (FY) 2023, due to several educational funding prioritizations by Governor Brian Kemp, educational funding in Georgia appeared to have a promising outlook. However, (FY) 2024 presented several funding and political challenges for P-12 and higher education. Slight increases in P-12 funding were negated by cost-of-living and other economic increases, while higher education funding struggled with the anecdotal enrollment precipice. Additionally, many proposed funds were eliminated when the governor disregarded and vetoed budget line items. Georgia’s P-12 educational per-pupil expenditure remains dismal, ranking very low among states in the United States. Many national calls have been made for amendments to state funding formulas to adjust for poverty and other factors; however, the Quality Basic Education (QBE) in Georgia has seen no movement. This is very unfortunate, considering the nationwide trend. Finally, Georgia has two considerable threats to public education funding that have significant implications.

The State of Nevada convenes every two years to pass a biennium budget. For the biennium spanning 2023–2025, the Nevada state legislators held three sessions: the 82nd regular session, the 34th special session, and the 35th special session. Within these legislative sessions, state policymakers reconciled the needs of their P-20 education system. This synoptic manuscript provides an overview of the legislation related to P-20 funding, including Nevada’s funding priorities for P-12 and/or higher education, changes to the school funding formula, and the major human resources management initiatives funded by the biennium budget.
GAS EXCHANGE AND HYDRAULICS OF LOBLOLLY PINE BRANCHES UNDERGOING SHADE-INDUCED MORTALITY"
Authors:   , Majekobaje Adelodun
Published: July 2024

Light acts as a complex signal, influencing various plant physiological, phenological, and morphogenetic traits. While previous studies have explored the effects of varying light levels on branch growth and survival, the underlying mechanisms of branch mortality under shade conditions remain poorly understood, hindering our understanding of canopy dynamics. In this study, I imposed contrasting shade conditions on Pinus taeda branches and investigated the physiological processes of shade-induced mortality in these. The objectives were to (1) evaluate the dynamic changes in photosynthesis and water relations of these branches, (2) investigate the effect of shading treatment on the hydraulic properties of the branches, (3) investigate the potential of using leaf reflectance for estimating shade-induced changes in key photosynthetic traits, and (4) explore the linkage between physiology and shade-related mortality in these branches. In January 2022, prior to spring bud burst, shade treatments were applied on branches on the fifth whorl from the top of selected trees. Treatments of no shade (0%), 30% shade, and 60% shade were randomly assigned equally to the branches. Monthly measurements of the photosynthetic light response curve (LRC), sap flow, water potential, and leaf reflectance of the branches were conducted. Xylem hydraulic conductivity and storage carbohydrate were also quantified at the end of the growing season. Results showed the dominance of carbon dynamics and efficient resource utilization in branch mortality. Shading treatment significantly reduced stomatal conductance, sap flow, and hydraulic conductivity. Leaf reflectance spectroscopy effectively accounted for shade-induced changes in photosynthetic traits. Branches undergoing mortality exhibited significant decrease in assimilation at light saturation, light saturation point, light compensation point, and dark respiration."
El eterno retorno del apocalipsis. Algunas reflexiones sobre Apocalípticos e integrados de Umberto Eco
Authors: González Rayco
Published: July 2024

En 1964 Umberto Eco publicó Apocalípticos e integrados, un libro que abordaba la cultura de masas con rigor metodológico, evitando la crítica moral común entre los intelectuales de la época. Analizando las características estéticas y sociológicas de los productos de la industria cultural, el semiólogo italiano buscaba superar tanto la dicotomía entre apocalípticos e integrados como los sesgos de las críticas estéticas y sociales de aquella época. Inspirado por los trabajos previos de Roland Barthes y de Edgar Morin, Eco analiza la complejidad de los productos de masas, proponiendo un enfoque dinámico y heterogéneo frente a la visión estática y homogénea de la cultura de masas predominante hasta entonces. Este artículo valora su vigencia actual y los elementos que perduran más allá del momento de su publicación.
Validation of a Lateral Flow Immunoassay for The Detection of Igg/Igm Antibodies to Sars Cov2 -Covid 19 Among Symptomatic and Asymptomatic High Risk Obgyn Patients in Selected Hospitals in Olongapo City and Zambales - A Multicenter Prospective Study

As the world face health system shocks from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an emerging infectious disease caused yet by a novel pathogen (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2]), Obstetrician-gynecologists became perplexed by the uncertainties it may bring to each pregnant women and the rest of the vulnerable gynecologic population. Despite the caveats of the CDC study, the susceptibility of a severe covid19 symptoms poses a “signal” to all pregnant women. On the other hand, high risk gynecologic patient such as cancer patients report high fatality rates due to Covid-19. The country’s initial Capacity for acute diagnosis via RTPCR testing consist of only tiny aperture of the population, Case finding strategies through centralised specialist laboratories were mostly limited to patients admitted to hospital with moderate to severe symptoms. Indeed, a substantial proportion of asymptomatic pregnant women and gynecologic cancer patients often get de-prioritized due to limited testing kits. The case reporting in these cases, while important, becomes less of a priority. Missed opportunity occurs whenever we fail to test people who might be asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers. Hence, came the approval of rapid based antibody test kits by Department of Health to serve as an adjunct to the diagnosis Covid19 with a short turnaround time compared to the RTPCR.With the intent of coming up a less expensive fast point of care test kits, antibody-based lateral flow assays were developed to test for IgM and IgG antibodies. These tests to detect antibody responses to Covid19 may add to our understanding of the extent of infecion among people who are not identified through active case finding and surveillance efforts. This paper aims to determine the accuracy of antibody tests for presence of IgM and IgG antibodies as an adjunct to RT- PCR for diagnosis of COVID-19 among high risk OBGYN patients.
