Atrocities Committed by the Pakistani Army and Their Collaborators During Bangladesh's Liberation War in 1971: An Overview of the Fukra Genocide in Gopalganj
Authors: - Muzahidul Islam
Published: June 2024

One of the most atrocious and brutal genocide of the 20th century took place in Bangladesh during the liberation war of 1971. The Bengali was suppressed by the internal colonial process of the Pakistani ruler since 1947. Subsequently, they ignored the result of 1970 election and create uncertainty to transfer the power to the leader of the Bengali, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Rather than ceding authority, the administration of West Pakistan began genocide against the Bengali people on March 25, 1971, and it persisted until December 16, 1971. During this time, around 3 million people suffered martyrdom. On October 31, the Fukra Union was the target of a vicious genocide by Pakistani forces, which also claimed the lives of innocent villagers. This paper intended to analyze the nature of genocide, the activities of anti-liberation forces in Fukra union under Gopalganj district of Bangladesh.

Published: June 2024

This study explored the challenges faced by non-teaching personnel in training through webinars. Ten (10) teachers who came from Banaybanay, Davao Oriental, participated in this study. This study used a phenomenological approach to extract the ideas of the non-teaching personnel. An in-depth interview was employed to gather information regarding the participants' experiences. The following themes emerged about the experiences of the participants: the experiences of non-teaching personnel in their webinar training revealed three themes, namely: adapting to new technology, connecting with professional peers, and facilitating effective communication. The challenges experienced by the participants during their webinars were digital fatigue, limited participant interaction, and overwhelming webinar content. The insights gained from the participants showed two significant ideas, namely, embracing the new role of non-teaching personnel and enhancing adaptability with the new policies. The non-teaching personnel may be more attentive in their dealings with constituents and other stakeholders. They may communicate information directly or indirectly to other school personnel through the websites developed for their school. Their openness to suggestions to improve their office performance is a welcome move to enhance their office skills through webinars and other special training intended for them.

EFFECT OF CHEMICALS ON RECOVERY OF CLOGGED DRIP EMITTERS FOR MAXIMUM UTILIZATION OF TREATED EFFLUENT FOR IRRIGATION
Authors:   Egerton University, Sesani Priscilla , Okwany Romulus , Nyakach S.
Published: June 2024

The growth in agriculture production is possible with wastewater utilization using the advanced technology of Drip Irrigation System (DIS). Drip irrigation is negatively affected by emitter clogging which entails reduced emitter discharge and irrigation system efficiency. The role of acid and chlorine contact time in emitter recovery with treated effluent is crucial. A combination of phosphoric acid (30,20 and 10 minutes) and sodium hypochlorite contact times (30,25 and 20 minutes) was used to study the recovery of in-line labyrinth drippers clogged with Treated Effluent (TE). A 1.2 ml/L of phosphoric acid and 20 mg/l of sodium hypochlorite was injected singly using a venturi dosing system. Nine (9) laterals with clogged emitters were implemented for treatment and the recovery discharge rates were measured for 5 minutes and characterized. Physicochemical and biological water analyses were carried out to determine parameters triggering clogging and the effect on recovery. The results showed that the chemical treatments had a significant effect on clog removal and recovered the discharge rates by 99.89 % of the initial flow at acid and chlorine contact times of 30 minutes each. This also had a relatively major effect alleviating emitter clogging from a discharge ratio variation (Dra) value of 33.50% to 123.23%. The recovery Dra values in each contact time with the chemicals were deemed effective (Dra≥ 75%). This was an indication that clogging in this study was mainly due to the chemical precipitation of Fe, Ca2+ and pH of the wastewater. The acid dissolved the mineral precipitates and chlorine disintegrated the organic matter built-ups. ANOVA tests for the acid and the chlorine contact time indicated that there were no statistically significant differences at p<=0.05 on the effect of the average flow. This could be indicative of the sole effect of the phosphoric acid and sodium hypochlorite on the different clog type target. The chemical treatments recovery on CV, Uc and Dra could address the constraints in DIS and provide sustainable practice guidelines for the reduction of clogging, more beneficial because it can improve the system’s irrigation efficiency with the utilization of TE

Synthesis and Conformational Analysis of Pyran Inter-Halide Analogues of D-Talose
Authors: Lessard Olivier , Grosset-Magagne Mathilde , Johnson Paul A , Giguère Denis
Published: June 2024

In this work, we describe the synthesis of halogenated pyran analogues of D-talose using a halo-divergent strategy from known 1,6-anhydro-2,3-dideoxy-2,3-difluoro-β-D-mannopyranose. In solution and in the solid-state, all analogues adopt standard 4C1-like conformations despite 1,3-diaxial repulsion between the F2 and the C4 halogen. Moreover, the solid-state conformational analysis of halogenated pyrans reveals deviation in the intra-annular torsion angles arising from repulsion between the axial fluorine at C2 and the axial halogen at C4, which increases with the size of the halogen at C4 (F < Cl < Br < I). Crystal packing arrangements of pyran inter-halides show hydrogen bond acceptor and nonbonding interactions for the halogen at C4. Finally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations corroborate the preference of talose analogues to adopt a 4C1-like conformation and a natural bonding orbital (NBO) analysis demonstrates the effects of hyperconjugation from C-F antibonding orbitals.

This study aimed to determine the effect of home-based teaching approach among at-risk ALS learners. At this stage in the research, teachers are experienc-ing challenges in the learner’s performance specially on the at-risk learners learn-ing from home and how they strategize to overcome their difficulty and insights to mitigate such for better learning proficiency among learners. This study made used of the quasi- experimental research design which is a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Non-equivalent design is a good design when the researcher has access to one group for experimentation (Vockel 1983). The re- searcher opted to use this design because the subjects of the study are intact group of learners. Findings revealed that some learners have low performance based on their submitted modules while at home. However, home-based teach-ing approach have found to be effective to level up the learner’s performance. Such findings direct teachers in the near to adopt the approach to certain at-risk learners to raise their proficiency.

This research aims to determine the legal comparison of criminal acts of theft and mugging or robbery based on the provisions of Indonesian criminal law. It also helps to understand the requirements and influence of interpretation for the legal determination of criminal acts such as robbery from a legal perspective. This type of research is normative legal research, specifically discussing theft and robbery. The data collection method used in this research is a literature study that reviews literature related to the object of this research. The research results show that the comparison between the Crime of theft and not the Crime of robbery lies in using the article regulations. Suppose the Crime of theft is regulated in Article 362 of the Criminal Code. Meanwhile, Article 365 of the Criminal Code regulates the Crime of robbery. Article 365 of the Criminal Code provides a strong legal basis for criminalizing and punishing perpetrators of criminal acts of theft with violence. Correct legal interpretation of Article 365 of the Criminal Code is very important to ensure fair and effective law enforcement against perpetrators of these criminal acts.
Two Sides of a Coin: Gender Stereotypes and Cultural Beliefs about Ageing Among the Older Persons in Lagos State, Nigeria
Authors: Temilola Olusegun Moses , Mashau Pfano
Published: June 2024

The study delved into the interplay between gender stereotypes and beliefs about ageing among the elderly population in Lagos State, Nigeria. As the global population ages, understanding the unique challenges and perspectives of older individuals is crucial for fostering a more inclusive and equitable society. The research employed a qualitative research approach to provide a comprehensive analysis. The primary objective was to examine how gender stereotypes and traditional beliefs shape the experiences and perceptions of ageing among older men and women in Lagos State. The data was collected through the qualitative research technique of In-depth Interview (IDI). The findings revealed a multifaceted landscape of gender stereotypes that significantly impact the ageing process. Across both genders, pervasive stereotypes of masculinity and femininity are evident in cultural narratives and societal expectations. Men are expected to embody strength and independence, while women are often associated with caregiving roles. These stereotypes, carried over from their younger years, affect the autonomy and well-being of older individuals, especially women. In Lagos State, respect for the elderly is deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric, with both men and women enjoying a revered status in their later years. However, the findings reveal that older women, due to prevailing gender stereotypes, often face more pronounced ageism, including diminished social status and limited decision-making power. The study also highlighted the adaptive strategies employed by older persons to navigate the complexities of gender stereotypes and cultural beliefs about ageing. This study contributes to the global discourse on ageing, gender, and culture, while also providing valuable insights for designing interventions that promote gender equity and healthy ageing for all.

Authors:   Univ Montpellier, France, Baseilhac Stéphane , Roche Philippe ,   Univ Montpellier, France
Published: June 2024

We prove that the quantum graph algebra and the quantum moduli algebra associated to a punctured sphere and complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ are Noetherian rings and finitely generated rings over $\mathbb{C}(q)$. Moreover, we show that these two properties still hold on $\mathbb{C}\big[q,q^{-1}\big]$ for the integral version of the quantum graph algebra. We also study the specializations $\mathcal{L}_{0,n}^\epsilon$ of the quantum graph algebra at a root of unity $\epsilon$ of odd order, and show that $\mathcal{L}_{0,n}^\epsilon$ and its invariant algebra under the quantum group $U_\epsilon(\mathfrak{g})$ have classical fraction algebras which are central simple algebras of PI degrees that we compute.

We measure the radius–velocity phase-space edge profile of A1063 using galaxy redshifts from Karman et al. and Mercurio et al. Combined with a cosmological model and after accounting for interlopers and sampling effects, we infer the escape velocity profile. Using the Poisson equation, we then directly constrain the gravitational potential profile and find excellent agreement between three different density models. For the Navarro–Frenk–White profile, we find log10(M

We argue that this consistency is due to the fact that the escape technique shares no common systematics with lensing other than radial binning. These masses are 2–4σ lower than estimates made using X-ray data, in addition to the Gómezet al. velocity dispersion estimate. We measure the 1D velocity dispersion within r

Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered numerous faint active galactic nuclei (AGN) at z ∼ 5 and beyond. These objects are key to our understanding of the formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), their coevolution with host galaxies, as well as the role of AGN in cosmic reionization. Using photometric colors and size measurements, we perform a search for compact red objects in an array of blank deep JWST/NIRCam fields totaling ∼640 arcmin2. Our careful selection yields 260 reddened AGN candidates at 4 < z
phot < 9, dominated by a point-source-like central component (〈r
eff〉 < 130 pc) and displaying a dichotomy in their rest-frame colors (blue UV and red optical slopes). Quasar model fitting reveals our objects to be moderately dust-extincted (A
V ∼ 1.6), which is reflected in their inferred bolometric luminosities of L
bol = 1044–47 erg s−1 and fainter UV magnitudes M
UV ≃ −17 to −22. Thanks to the large areas explored, we extend the existing dusty AGN luminosity functions to both fainter and brighter magnitudes, estimating their number densities to be ×100 higher than for UV-selected quasars of similar magnitudes. At the same time, they constitute only a small fraction of all UV-selected galaxies at similar redshifts, but this percentage rises to ∼10% for M
UV ∼ − 22 at z ∼ 7. Finally, assuming a conservative case of accretion at the Eddington rate, we place a lower limit on the SMBH mass function at z ∼ 5, finding it to be consistent with both theory and previous JWST observations.
X-Rays from the Nearby Compact Emission-line Galaxy NGC 2366
Authors: Kaaret Philip , Prestwich Andrea
Published: June 2024

Luminous, compact emission-line galaxies (LCGs) are the most abundant class of confirmed Lyman continuum (LyC) emitters. An optical integral field study of the nearby LCG NGC 2366 reveals an outflow originating at the star cluster “knot B” thought to clear a channel via mechanical feedback that enables LyC escape. We observed NGC 2366 with the Chandra X-ray Observatory and detected X-ray emission from a point source coincident with the apex of the outflow at knot B. The pointlike nature and variability of the X-ray emission suggests accretion onto a compact object. The accretion could produce sufficient kinetic energy to power the outflow.
GallOnt: An ontology for plant gall phenotypes
Authors: Deans Andrew , Nastasi Louis , Davis Charles
Published: June 2024

Galls are novel plant structures that develop in response to select biotic stressors. These structures, extended phenotypes of the inducer, usually serve to protect and feed the inducer or its progeny. This life history strategy has evolved dozens of times, and tens of thousands of species—including many bacteria, fungi, nematodes, mites, and insects—are capable of manipulating plants in this way. The variation in gall phenotypes is extraordinary across species but usually predictable for each species of inducer. We introduce here a new ontology, GallOnt, that facilitates consistent descriptions and the semantic representation of and reasoning over plant gall phenotype data. GallOnt was largely developed from ontologies in the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology (OBO) Foundry and stands to connect plant gall phenotypes to knowledge derived from model plant systems, including genotype-phenotype and agricultural research. We also introduce the idea of a new gall data standard—Minimum Information for the Description of Galls (MIDG version 0.1)—as a starting point for discussions regarding cecidology best practices.

Ecological connectivity is key to maintaining a coherent and resilient network of protected areas in the EU. The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 has identified the unhindered movement of species, nutrients and ecological processes across connected landscapes as a key feature of a coherent Trans-European Nature Network (TEN-N) of protected and conserved areas. However, to date, streamlined guidance on planning for and implementing connectivity measures specifically at the European scale has been limited.

This report presents a coherent methodological framework and guidelines for mapping functional and structural connectivity at the European scale, as part of the Horizon Europe NaturaConnect project, which is supporting EU Member States in developing a coherent TEN-N of protected and conserved areas.

It describes key ecological connectivity concepts and approaches; outlines methods and tools for estimating connectivity; presents an overview of connectivity projects across Europe; identifies connectivity priorities, gaps and challenges following a stakeholder consultation process; and provides practical and operational guidelines for implementing ecological connectivity for conservation projects ranging from regional to national and European levels. The guidelines present a strategic blueprint aimed at enhancing ecological connectivity across Europe, and address the specific challenges and opportunities related to planning ecological connectivity in the European context.

This report has been written for practitioners and individuals involved in the management and administration of protected areas and ecological connectivity projects across Europe. This includes professionals working in TEN-N implementation at national or regional levels, others involved in spatial planning outside protected areas, and professionals engaged in the implementation of connectivity projects and protected area management.

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the formulation development of nanomedicine. This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics of progesterone-loaded solid-lipid nanoparticles (PG-SLNs) produced through an emulsification–ultrasonication process, with a focus on demonstrating the efficacy of this controlled preparation method via the Design of Experiments (DoE) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Critical quality factors, including stearic acid, medium chain triglycerides (MCT), Pluronic F-127, and the amount of propylene glycol (PG), were explored using DoE to streamline experimental setups. The concentration of stearic acid was identified as a crucial factor influencing PG-SLN physicochemical properties, impacting particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential (ZP), and %drug loading (%DL). Optimal conditions for PS, PDI, ZP, and %DL were identified. DoE revealed acceptable values across multiple runs, and the ANN model demonstrates high prediction accuracy, surpassing Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The selected PG-SLN formulation was tested for transdermal drug delivery, showing improved permeation compared to PG suspension. Loading with limonene further enhances transdermal drug delivery, attributed to limonene’s role as a penetration enhancer. Moreover, the selected PG-SLN formulation was found to be safe and non-toxic to neuronal cells. The combination of DoE and ANN was proposed to enhance predictive ability. This research highlights the potential of PG-SLNs in transdermal drug delivery, emphasizing the role of limonene as a safe and effective enhancer. The study contributes to the growing interest in applying AI tools in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields for improved predictive modeling.
L’honneur blessé : la répression de la diffamation comme iniuria
Authors: Bur Clément
Published: June 2024

Résumé Résumé : La diffamation fut sans doute rapprochée de l’ iniuria dès l’époque des XII Tables, quand, avec le verset VIII, 4, on envisageait les violences légères destinées à humilier, mais il fallut attendre les iii e - ii e  siècles pour qu’elle fût réprimée juridiquement. L’atteinte au corps rejoignait l’atteinte à la réputation et il est possible que de même que les coups et blessures furent un temps laissés à la vengeance privée, la victime de diffamation dut d’abord se faire justice elle-même. L’irruption des édits prétoriens visait peut-être davantage à encadrer ces vengeances privées et à offrir une voie judiciaire aux conflits aussi bien au sein de l’élite que du reste de la communauté, qu’à réprimer un délit jusqu’alors inconnu ou inconcevable sans lésion physique. L’ iniuria sanctionnait donc celui qui ne respectait pas autrui dans son intégrité, aussi bien physique que morale, condition sine qua non de la vie en communauté.
Des chefs vulnérables ? Blessures des généraux et vertus des chefs dans l’ Histoire romaine de Tite-Live
Authors: Cailleux Fanny
Published: June 2024

Résumé Résumé : Dans le récit de l’ Histoire romaine de Tite-Live, œuvre marquée par l’idéologie de la victoire, les exemples de généraux blessés au combat sont peu nombreux. Dès lors, les anecdotes qui montrent des chefs s’exposer au danger et recevoir une blessure sont porteuses d’un contenu idéologique précis. Le plus souvent, la blessure constitue un élément de l’héroïsation des chefs et une preuve de leur valeur militaire. Cet article montre toutefois qu’à partir du récit des guerres puniques, la blessure est présentée dans plusieurs cas comme le résultat d’une grave erreur de stratégie et d’un défaut de prudentia , susceptibles de mettre en danger la res publica tout entière. Tite-Live insiste alors sur l’analogie entre le corps physique du général et le corps de l’État et souligne les importantes conséquences politiques et militaires de la vulnérabilité des généraux romains.
Le roc des passions
Authors: Gaillard Georges
Published: June 2024

Il n’est de passion que dans une recherche de comblement, d’une concordance sans écart, entre un sujet et son/ses « objets » ; que là où se constitue une visée de complétude. Considérer l’institution à la lumière des figures de la passion convoque dès lors la double dynamique dans laquelle sont pris le sujet et le groupe professionnel, celle de l’attraction totalisante du « Un » et du mouvement de différenciation pluralisante qui en constitue le pôle dialogique. Après avoir rappelé les enjeux psychiques de ce que représente le « travail » pour le sujet, nous nous intéresserons à la figure de l’institution considérée dans sa dimension subjective. Au titre de la diversité des configurations qui sont à même d’attracter une visée d’emprise totalisante sur la scène de l’institution, nous interrogerons les dynamiques qui se jouent dans le lien soignant, et celles qui se jouent relativement à l’institution comme objet psychique.
Psychologie clinique du vieillissement
Authors: Boulon Laura
Published: June 2024

La personne âgée peut se déprimer. L’identifier cliniquement n’est pas toujours aisé, du fait d’une symptomatologie variable et parfois masquée, mais également parce que le ralentissement psychomoteur et tristesse sont trop fréquemment mis sur le compte de la vieillesse. Nous verrons comment l’art-thérapie peut apparaître comme un processus de soin adapté à la dépression du sujet âgé.
