A New Perspective on Relativity Theory
Authors: Ishikawa Toshiaki
Published: November 2024

The particular theory of relativity was created by Albert Einstein in 1905. As the starting point f or this theory, he adopted two principles from the beginning: the “principle of relativity” and the “principle of the constancy of the velocity of light.” Later, when it was pointed out that the velocity of light changes within the solar system (in a gravitational field), he argued that the velocity of light does not appear to be constant due to the “spatial distortion.” He then constructed the general theory of relativity that took into account the “spatial distortion.”
The analysis here began by considering the underlying evidence in the preceding article. First, by considering the starting point of the relativity theory, I discovered that differential equation is hidden in the relativity theory. Since the differential equation has already been obtained, not only the one-dimensional equation of motion but also the two-dimensional equations of motion of the planet and light quantum have already been derived. The results of this detailed analysis prove that “spatial distortion” does not exist, and that the general theory of relativity has no meaning at all in terms of physics. In the end, the entire relativity theory was elucidated f or the first time in the world.

ETS prices and renewable energy sources share in the energy mix - example of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia
Authors: Gomółka Krystyna , Kasprzak Piotr
Published: November 2024

ETS (CO2 Emissions Trading Scheme) is one of the mechanisms that allow for controlling and striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. However, it is also another cost for CO2 emission producers, affecting the final price of energy. The aim of the article is to enrich the discussion by explaining the relationship between ETS prices and the level of share of renewable energy sources in the overall energy mix of the countries selected for analysis (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia). The research covered the period 2000-2022. It was conducted using the following methods: literature studies, descriptive analysis of statistical data and deduction. The analysis led to the conclusions: the increase in CO2 emission allowance prices (ETS) forced a change in energy policy in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. In 2008, the ETS price was EUR 25/tonne of CO2, while in 2023, it was around EUR 50/tonne of CO2. An increase in the share of renewable energy sources was noted in the analysed countries. In Lithuania, wind, solar, and biomass energy are the most developed, while in Latvia, further investments were made in hydroelectric power plants. The situation was the worst in Estonia, from the development point of view, as solar and wind power plants were developed to a small extent. In 2000, the share of renewable energy in the overall energy mix was for Estonia: at less than 1%, Lithuania at around 3%, and Latvia at 68%. In 2022, under the influence of ETS fees, the renewable energy source indicator increased for: Estonia: to 45%, Lithuania: 74.7%, Latvia 72% in the overall energy mix.
UPI Fraud Detection Using Machine Learning
Authors: Gupta Yash , Saxena Nitesh , Kumar Krishan
Published: November 2024

As technology keeps advancing,
UPI has become the go-to method for making
payments, whether big or small, thanks to how easy
it is to use. But with this popularity comes a
downside—there’s been a noticeable uptick in
fraud. In this paper, we’re diving into a new way to
tackle UPI fraud by building a Machine Learningbased detection system. What we’re doing is
blending rule-based strategies with machine
learning to make UPI transactions safer and more
reliable. By using anomaly detection algorithms,
we’re able to spot anything fishy, and our approach
focuses on both how transactions are happening
and how users behave. The idea is to catch fraud in
real-time and stop it before it causes any damage.
By combining traditional rule-based methods with
the power of machine learning, we’re aiming to
make UPI transactions more secure, giving users
peace of mind and increasing their trust in digital
payments.

Organizacja wyjazdów na międzynarodowym rynku turystyki zakupowej
Authors: Paliś Beata , Przenzak Kasper
Published: November 2024

Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja determinant w obszarze organizacji wyjazdów przez turystów społeczności międzynarodowej na rynku turystyki zakupowej. Zakupy, zwłaszcza te w podróży, to nieodzowny element naszego życia. Turyści zarówno wyjeżdżają poza miejsca zamieszkania w celach zakupowych, jak i dokonują zakupów przy okazji podróży. Często stają się oni turystami zakupowymi. Każdy lubi bowiem przywieźć z wyjazdu jakąś pamiątkę, ale są także osoby, dla których zakupy poza miejscem zamieszkania stanowią główny cel wyjazdu. W ramach przedmiotowych badań poszukiwano czynników, które determinują respondentów do wyjazdów zakupowych m.in. w aspekcie organizacji wyjazdu. Weryfikacji poddano hipotezę w brzmieniu „Motyw podróży nie ma wpływu na sposób organizacji wyjazdu na międzynarodowym rynku turystyki zakupowej”. Przeprowadzono własne badania ankietowe wśród społeczności międzynarodowej. Badania obejmowały następujące etapy: weryfikacja literatury przedmiotu, stron internetowych, przygotowanie kwestionariusza ankietowego, konsultacja kwestionariusza wśród wybranych uczestników turystyki zakupowej, ustalenia narzędzi badawczych, tj. media społecznościowe, ustalenie listy podmiotów, na których przeprowadzono badania, przeprowadzenie badań ankietowych. Turystyka zakupowa jest jedną z dochodowych form turystyki. Wiele destynacji turystycznych na świecie dostrzega jej znaczenie dla rozwoju rynku turystycznego. Respondenci podróżują w celach zakupowych, a na ich zachowania mają wpływ różne czynniki, m.in. te uwidaczniające się w ramach organizacji wyjazdu. Z badań wynika, że motyw wyjazdu, którym w tym przypadku były zakupy jako główny lub drugorzędny cel podróży, nie ma wpływu na zachowania turystów zakupowych w obszarze kwestii organizacyjnych. Miasta z uwagi na swoją ofertę w obszarze zarówno turystyki, jak i handlu, mogą kształtować produkt turystyki zakupowej, co stwierdzili w większości badani respondenci pochodzący z 33 krajów. Tego typu badania koncentrujące się na turystyce zakupowej wśród konsumentów międzynarodowej społeczności do tej pory nie były robione, dlatego należy to uznać za nowość w nauce.

Kultura gospodarcza IV rewolucji przemysłowej jako fundament rzeczywistości hybrydowej
Authors: Zdun Magdalena
Published: November 2024

Artykuł podejmuje zagadnienie rzeczywistości hybrydowej, traktując ją jako społeczny i kulturowy fenomen współczesności. Analizie hybrydowej formuły świata służy kategoria kultury gospodarczej. Pojęcie to, dając się poznać jako szczególna odmiana kultury w ogóle, wyprowadzone zostaje z szerzej znanego zjawiska industrializacji i umożliwia wykonanie wielowymiarowej diagnozy rzeczywistości zastanej, z uwzględnieniem trzech różnych, acz powiązanych ze sobą wymiarów rzeczywistości: materialnego, społecznego i symbolicznego. Jednocześnie kategoria kultury gospodarczej uprawomocnia przywołanie kontekstu IV rewolucji przemysłowej, który finalnie staje się matrycą hybrydowości. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie treści poszczególnych warstw kultury gospodarczej Przemysłu 4.0, a rezultatem wskazanie możliwych do identyfikowania hybrydowości. Większość z nich wiązać trzeba z transgresyjnym charakterem kultury, ukierunkowanym na zacieranie granic między tym, co realne i wirtualne, konsumowane i produkowane. Jest to analiza konceptualna. Punktem wyjścia przedstawionym w wywodzie jest pojęcie industrializacji. Finalnej charakterystyce hybrydowej rzeczywistości służy zaś wylistowanie symptomów IV rewolucji.
Pedagogia świętych na kanwie teologii Hansa Ursa von Balthasara i Adrienne von Speyr
Authors: Kaźmierczak Paweł
Published: November 2024

Tajemnica świętych obcowania jest katolicką prawdą wiary. Dla szwajcarskiego teologa Hansa Ursa von Balthasara i współpracującej z nim lekarki i mistyczki Adrienne von Speyr święci stanowili aktualizację i potwierdzenie prawdziwości Ewangelii, a zarazem jedno ze źródeł teologii dogmatycznej. Zasadniczym pojęciem w tej perspektywie poznawczej jest osobista misja świętych w Kościele, którą Balthasar badał, stosując metodę „nadprzyrodzonej fenomenologii”. Poszukiwał w ten sposób nowych impulsów nie tylko dla duchowości, ale także dla teologii. Jednym ze źródeł poznania świętych był dla Balthasara kontemplacyjno-mistyczny kontakt Adrienne von Speyr ze świętymi, poświadczony kościelnym imprimatur dla jej publikacji, a także teologicznym rozeznaniem Balthasara i wielu innych teologów. Celem artykułu jest, po pierwsze, rekonstrukcja Balthasariańskiej metody „nadprzyrodzonej fenomenologii” w odniesieniu do świętych, również przy wykorzystaniu publikacji A. von Speyr. Drugim krokiem jest natomiast próba wydobycia implikacji teologii świętych Balthasara i Speyr dla pedagogiki religii. Przyjęto metodę analizy tekstów obojga autorów, stanowiących przedmiot zainteresowania, z uwzględnieniem literatury sekundarnej. Konkluzją jest konstatacja ogromnego potencjału pedagogii świętych w wychowaniu katolickim, katechezie, samowychowaniu i osobowej integracji.

Authors: Bajak Maria
Published: November 2024

Podstawowym zadaniem instytucji kultury jest zaspokajanie potrzeb odbiorców w zakresie dostępu do sztuki. W związku z tym odgrywają szczególną rolę w procesie ewolucji poznawczej człowieka i jego uwrażliwienia, a także przyczyniają się do poprawy jakości życia społecznego. Dlatego też szczególnie istotną kwestią jest zapewnienie dostępności instytucji kultury dla wszelkich zainteresowanych odbiorców. Stanowi to bowiem ważną część misji tego typu organizacji. W przypadku osób z niepełnosprawnościami wszelkie udogodnienia wizyty w obiekcie nie tylko prowadzą do uatrakcyjnienia odbioru kultury, ale mogą wręcz być decydujące w kwestii jej percepcji. Głównym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie znaczenia dostępności kultury dla osób z niepełnosprawnościami jako misji instytucji kultury, omówienie potrzeb odbiorców posiadających dysfunkcje o różnorodnym charakterze oraz wskazanie propozycji udogodnień, które mogą wspierać recepcję sztuki i twórczość artystyczną. Ponadto podkreślono znaczenie osób z niepełnosprawnościami jako istotnej grupy odbiorców kultury, dla których może stanowić ona źródło kreowania tożsamości, kształtowania wartości, wzrostu potencjału, a nawet pełnić funkcję terapeutyczną.

Emergent Plutarchy, Neopatrimonialism and the Crisis of Political Corruption in Nigeria
Authors: Okolocha Chike F.
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this paper is to hypothesise the rise of a plutarchy in Nigeria and trace its trajectory from nationalist era to the Fourth Republic. It also examines the institutionalisation of poverty and the contest in which Nigeria’s nascent democracy has dichotomized citizenry between the plutarchy and the rest. The composition of this ruling elite is examined along with its modus operandi which has mobilized neo-patrimonial networks of patron-clint bondage and rent seeking. Because concerns about the undue influence of money in politics transcend political and ideological geographies, it is proposed that religious and ethnic differences are false identities which favour individuals, not groups. Evidence is provided that political practice in Nigeria is now irredeemably a mismatch between the rich and the poor, with the former having commodified politics as a realm of investment. Using secondary data and direct participant observation, I examine the emergence and manifestations this plutarchy and the concurrent immiseration of the majority. The study also addresses the linkage of plutarchy with poverty, inequality and corruption as well as its nexus with political exclusion and public apathy. Among others, it is proposed that poverty, inequality and corruption are fallouts of Nigeria’s emergent neo patrimonial plutarchy and resultant political antagonisms. I conclude that anticorruption policies may not achieve much if the neoliberal economic development continues to reproduce poverty, unemployment and inequality.
Godfather Politics: Contextualising and Historicising Nigeria’s Fourth Republic Experience
Authors: Mohammed Isa , Oruonye Emeka Daniel
Published: November 2024

Godfather politics is a political reality in Nigeria’s political culture since the First Republic in the 1960s. The emergence and transformation of godfatherism in the form of leadership recruitment and progressive mentorship politics of the First Republic have degenerated into money and violent politics in Nigeria’s political development. Godfatherism has a sociological origin in Nigerian politics which has its cultural roots among many Nigerian peoples’ history. In Hausa society, it is called “Maigida” loosely translated as landlord or head of household, while in Yoruba “Baba kekere” is referred to as the small father and in Igbo “Nnam-ukwu” means my master. In Nigeria’s fourth republic the manifestation of godfather politics brought about the criminalization, monetization, and lack of democratic consolidation in the political process. There two types of progressives’ political godfathers and political entrepreneurs’ godfathers. This study relies on secondary sources of data and the data collected is analysed descriptively. The major findings indicate that that godfather politics has denied good citizens the right to political participation through the institutionalization of political violence and money politics. The negative impacts of godfather politics are responsible for leadership failure and development challenges in Nigeria as a result of a bad and incompetent political leadership recruitment agenda. The theoretical framework adopted in the study is the elite theory and patron-client model to explain the use of power, money, loyalty, and reward in the political system. The study recommends the need for Nigerians to practice politics of ideology, ensure strong internal party democracy in political parties, regulate the use of money in politics and develop a credible leadership recruitment process.
Monetisation of Politics and its Debilitating Impact on Social Services in Nigeria, 1999 – 2020
Authors: ERINOSHO T.O. , Yahaya Jibrin Ubale
Published: November 2024

Democracy is globally adjudged to be the best system of government as it creates room for mutual dialogue and robust decision-making process among the ruling elite. Wherever and whenever democracy is accorded its pride of place and the rules of the game are strictly adhered to, the citizenry generally stands a better chance to enjoy the dividends of good governance than where democracy is grossly abused or military autocracy is installed. Hence, many countries have been experimenting with democratisation of politics and Nigeria, re-joined the club of democratic states in 1999 after a prolonged military rule. However, the brand of democracy in Nigeria is heavily monetised. The monetisation of politics has denied the electorate and other Nigerians’ access to qualitative social services and this has further worsened the living conditions of the already poverty-stricken masses as the political class is interested in looting the treasury as a way of recovering investment in politics. This paper interrogates the concept of monetisation of politics, its trends or forms and the debilitating impact of this highly valued and adopted brand of democracy in Nigeria. The study concludes that pointingthe way out of the current political quagmire so that all and sundry can enjoy better conditions of living across the federation and thereby make life more meaningful to them.
Highlighting the Nature, Manifestations, Causes and Implications of Vote Buying for Democratic Governance in Nigeria
Authors: Eme Okechukwu Innocent , Ani Jude
Published: November 2024

The recent off-season Ekiti, Edo, Anambra, and Osun State governorship elections were blighted by vote buying, among other malpractices. Vote buying has become an obscene phenomenon that increases in every election in Nigeria without any decisive official response to counteract it. The practice bodes ill for the 2023 general elections which might end up being decided by the size of the ‘bribe budget’ rather than the choice of citizens. Vote buying, a reciprocal system in which political candidates secure votes in exchange for gifts or money, has long become part of politics in Nigeria. Well-funded incumbents and other politicians with fat purses often benefit from this practice in national and local elections. Since This paper argues that money has become the deciding factor in Nigerian politics, and that serves the purposes of consolidating elite rule as well as the political exclusion of the non-elite. It is based on this premise that the study attempts to highlight the nature, manifestations, causes and implications of vote buying for democracy in Nigeria. Methodologically, the paper used documentary method and data were generated through the secondary sources and used content analysis. The theoretical framework of analysis for the study was anchored on the theory of good governance. The findings of the study reveal that despite the efforts by government to address this challenge via bureaucratic and legislative institutions, vote buying still discourages conscientious people from participating in electoral politics and causes citizens to lose faith in state institutions. The consequences of vote buying are many and include unduly raising the cost of elections thereby shutting out contestants with little finances and promoting political corruption. Among the implications include compromising credibility, legitimacy and integrity of elections. This paper concludes by positing that money politics is at the heart of the general crisis of democracy and governance in Nigeria, and unless this is mitigated, reforms aimed at bringing about good governance and curbing other anomalies in the political system may not produce the desired results. Vote buying must be checkmated to guarantee the right of the people to freely exercise their democratic franchise.

As disfunções tireoidianas representam condições endócrinas comuns, afetando uma parcela significativa da população mundial, com destaque para mulheres e idosos. Este estudo realizou uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa para avaliar o papel dos biomarcadores no diagnóstico precoce dessas condições. Biomarcadores tradicionais, como TSH, T3 e T4, permanecem centrais na prática clínica, mas apresentam limitações em casos subclínicos e populações específicas. Autoanticorpos, como anti-TPO e anti-Tg, destacam-se na identificação de disfunções autoimunes, enquanto biomarcadores emergentes, como microRNAs, oferecem avanços na sensibilidade e especificidade diagnósticas. A análise de polimorfismos genéticos também desponta como estratégia promissora para estratificação de risco. Apesar dos avanços, desafios como a variabilidade biológica e a validação de novas tecnologias requerem atenção. Conclui-se que a integração de marcadores tradicionais e emergentes, aliada a tecnologias avançadas, pode personalizar o manejo clínico, melhorando os desfechos e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

A dermatite herpetiforme (DH) e a doença celíaca (DC) estão intimamente relacionadas, sendo ambas condições autoimunes que compartilham um substrato genético comum, além de manifestações clínicas interligadas. Embora a dermatite herpetiforme seja uma doença cutânea caracterizada por erupções papulovesiculares pruriginosas, a doença celíaca é uma condição sistêmica caracterizada pela intolerância ao glúten, resultando em dano ao epitélio intestinal. A etiologia dessas doenças envolve uma interação complexa entre predisposição genética, especialmente a presença de alelos específicos do HLA-DQ2 e HLA-DQ8, e fatores ambientais, com destaque para a ingestão de glúten. O entendimento mais profundo da correlação entre dermatite herpetiforme e doença celíaca pode possibilitar o aprimoramento das abordagens diagnósticas e terapêuticas, levando à identificação precoce de indivíduos em risco e ao desenvolvimento de novas terapias que possam mitigar os efeitos da ingestão inadvertida de glúten ou o desenvolvimento de complicações associadas. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, a qual investigou sobre a predisposição genética e expressão ambiental da dermatite herpetiforme e doença celíaca, pela coleta de dados nas plataformas PubMed, LILACS, Periódicos CAPES, EMBASE e Scielo. Assim,  a DH, como uma manifestação cutânea da doença celíaca, continua a ser um campo de intenso estudo, com muitos aspectos da sua patogênese ainda por elucidar. O futuro da pesquisa nesta área reside na exploração detalhada dos mecanismos imunológicos e genéticos subjacentes, bem como no desenvolvimento de terapias mais eficazes e personalizadas, visando melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes e prevenir complicações a longo prazo.

A queimadura é uma lesão tissular resultante de um agente térmico, químico, elétrico ou radiante, que causa danos à integridade da pele e, em casos mais graves, a outras estruturas subjacentes, como músculos, ossos e órgãos internos. As queimaduras de grande extensão são uma das lesões mais complexas e desafiadoras enfrentadas pela medicina, sendo frequentemente associadas a altas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade. A importância do estudo das técnicas cirúrgicas no manejo de grandes queimados reside na constante evolução das abordagens terapêuticas e na necessidade de otimizar os resultados estéticos e funcionais para os pacientes. O avanço na cirurgia plástica de queimados não apenas contribui para a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados, mas também reduz os custos de tratamento a longo prazo, prevenindo complicações futuras e promovendo a reintegração social e psicológica dos pacientes. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, a qual investigou sobre as principais técnicas empregadas no manejo de grandes queimados, pela coleta de dados nas plataformas PubMed, LILACS, Periódicos CAPES, EMBASE e Scielo. Assim,  embora os achados dos estudos analisados sejam promissores, existe uma necessidade contínua de mais pesquisas controladas e de larga escala para validar e refinar os protocolos cirúrgicos existentes. Ensaios clínicos multicêntricos poderiam fornecer uma base de dados mais robusta para a comparação entre diferentes estratégias, além de possibilitar uma análise mais detalhada dos desfechos a longo prazo, tanto em termos de função quanto de qualidade de vida dos pacientes. A exploração de novas opções terapêuticas, como substitutos dérmicos e abordagens mais eficazes para o controle de infecção e regeneração tecidual, também se faz necessária para alcançar melhores resultados no tratamento das queimaduras de grande extensão.

A wide array of conceptual change strategies attempted to address students' persistent alternative conceptions, yet there remained ubiquitous struggles of teachers teaching abstract and highly contentious science concepts. This study investigated the effectiveness of the novel Conceptual Change Framework of Instruction (CCFI) in teaching eclipses among Grade 7 learners (n:40) in a private school in Cebu, Philippines. Using an embedded mixed-method design, a pretest-posttest method with the integration of a two-phased semi-structured interview with students measured the extent of the effect of an intervention on students’ understanding, conception, and learning experiences. Quantitative results suggested that students’ level of understanding significantly improved after exposure to the instructional model, as evident in their mean gain scores. Students in the experimental group scored above the passing grade compared to those in the control group. Moreover, thematic analysis revealed that students’ demonstrated a conceptual change in their conceptions of eclipses from naïve understanding to scientifically accurate concepts. They also signified the efficacy of the CCFI in facilitating positive learning experiences through various engaging teaching strategies. Thus, science teachers may consider the use of CCFI among the array of instructional models in teaching science concepts to enhance conceptual understanding and positive learning experience.

The training of individuals who produce science is based on the way they think. Critical thinking is one aspect of thinking. The study's purpose is to analyze the effect of integrating critical thinking based on 4MAT (CT-4MAT) instruction to develop students' critical thinking dispositions. A pre-test post-test quasi-experiment design was used. It surveyed 60 7th-grade students (30 experiment and 30 control) attending a middle school in a city center in the northwest of Turkey. In the experiment group, the science curriculum, including the CT-4MAT instruction, was used, and in the control group, the science curriculum, not including this strategy, was used. The data were collected using the "Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory" and the "Attitudes and Views about Biodiversity Loss Scale". The analysis results showed a significant difference in favor of the experiment group students in terms of the scores of critical thinking disposition. The analysis results showed a significant difference in favor of the experiment group students in terms of the scores of critical thinking disposition. The experiment group evaluated themselves as more part of nature in their responses and dealt with biodiversity, the basis of sustainable living in critically. The control group's responses showed individuals do not solve problems concerning biodiversity and do not seek solutions unless the problems are affecting them. This study shows that the CT- 4MAT instruction helped to promote students' Critical thinking dispositions.

Children worldwide are increasingly deprived of direct nature experiences (DNE). Often rooted in restrictions of urbanization and modernization, this loss may hamper biodiversity conservation through erosion of biodiversity knowledge. Yet, the extent of this phenomenon in small cities, particularly in rapidly developing islands, remains understudied. This study aimed to compare the frequencies of DNEs based on islands and evaluate the influences of different islands and frequency of direct nature experiences on biodiversity knowledge among children. The sample consisted of 429, 1112-year-old public-school children from seven islands. Findings of this online survey questionnaire show that the frequency of visiting nature places and contact with animals was not significantly different, but the frequency of contact with plants as well as the overall frequency of experiences was significantly different among the islands. Children have a low level of biodiversity knowledge but are better at identifying animals than plants. Biodiversity knowledge scores were not significantly different among islands. Hence, island environments have a significant effect on DNE frequency but not on biodiversity knowledge. Increased frequency of nature experiences has a significant positive effect on biodiversity knowledge. This effect is more evident when the frequency is more than once a month. The study suggests that the frequency of DNEs is more influential in determining children’s biodiversity knowledge than their place of residence. Hence, meaningful nature experiences must be facilitated to promote biodiversity knowledge.
Which ıs more valuable ın constructing cognitive structures - teaching science through creative-drama activities or student centred ınquiry-based teaching?
Authors: Küçük Arzu
Published: November 2024

This research aimed to compare the effect of teaching science through-creative-drama activities and student-centred inquiry-based teaching on the cognitive structures of primary school pupils about the classification of living things. It was designed as an exploratory action research case study and the contribution of both interventions on the cognitive structures was explored. The study was conducted on two fifth grade classes at a public middle school in Turkey during the fall semester of the 2017 year. The experimental group was taught science through-creative-drama activities that were integrated into the unit. While in the control group, student-centred inquiry-based teaching was carried out. Data were collected by pre-post open-ended questionnaires and also word association tests for both groups. It has been revealed that teaching science through-creative-drama activities about the classification of living things topic made a significant contribution to the expansion of the schemas in the cognitive structures compared with student-centred inquiry-based teaching. However, it was difficult for the teacher researcher to control the schemas that pupils came up with, some of which promoted misconceptions.

Pengkaji menganalisis makna denotatif dan konotatif dalam teks sindir badan di Negara Brunei Darussalam. Objektif kajian adalah untuk mengenal pasti, mengkategorikan dan membandingkan makna denotatif dan konotatif dalam teks sindir badan. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah deskriptif kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Kajian ini juga dilakukan secara beperingkat, iaitu mengikut langkah tertentu. Data teks sindir badan diambil daripada aplikasi media sosial, iaitu Instagram daripada akaun yang bernama @natartsya. Persoalan utama dalam kajian ini ialah cara membezakan antara makna denotatif dengan makna konotatif dengan berlandaskan Teori Segi Tiga Semiotik oleh Ogden dan Richard. Hasil Kajian mendapati bahawa teks sindir badan ini lebih banyak menggunakan makna konotatif berbanding dengan makna denotatif. Deskripsi dan huraian makna konotatif yang wujud disebabkan oleh imaginasi dan khayalan penutur menyebabkan makna konotatif berfungsi sebagai makna kiasan atau figuratif ketika menyindir supaya lebih sopan apabila berkomunikasi. Implikasi daripada hal ini ialah makna yang ingin disampaikan kadangkala tidak sampai kepada penerimanya. Kajian ini bukan sahaja dapat memberikan manfaat kepada pengkaji akan datang yang ingin menambah baik atau mengembangkan bidang semantik, malah dapat memberikan manfaat kepada masyarakat di Negara Brunei Darussalam tentang isu terkini yang dapat dikaji pengisiannya dan menyebarkan kesedaran tentang isu sindir badan secara tidak langsung.

Biharmonic Extensions on Infinite Trees
Authors: Bajunaid Ibtesam
Published: November 2024

In the investigation of harmonic and potential functions on the Euclidean spaces, the Runge-type approximation theorem and Laurent decomposition theorem for harmonic functions are important. Their extensions to subharmonic functions are also crucial. In this note, we investigate various aspects of these results in the context of discrete potential theory on infinite trees. Given an infinite tree T with positive potentials, we prove that for a harmonic function h outside a finite set, there exists a harmonic function H on T such that h − H is bounded outside a finite set. Developing other results based on this theorem, we investigate in detail biharmonic functions on T and study their properties. The thrust is to extend these results to the study of discrete biharmonic and bisuperharmonic functions on infinite trees. This is always true in Rn , n ≥ 5 because the fundamental solution of ∆2 on this case tends to 0 at infinity. Based on this property we also define the notion of a tapered biharmonic space.

Published: November 2024

In this paper, we introduce an innovative mathematical model designed to capture the dynamics of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) under therapeutic interventions, employing delay-differential equations to account for the time delays inherent in biological processes. The model consists of 13 delay-differential equations, incorporating six distinct delays to represent various time-dependent factors such as drug effects, immune responses, and tumor growth cycles. To facilitate the analysis, we first identified the equilibrium points, which serve as critical benchmarks for understanding the system’s behavior under steady-state conditions, followed by a detailed stability analysis to assess the robustness of these points against perturbations. Utilizing the critical case theorem, we translated the system by shifting the equilibrium point to zero, simplifying the stability examination. A series of transformations were applied to aid this process, allowing for deeper insights into the dynamics of ALL under treatment. Our findings contribute to understanding treatment efficacy and tumor progression, offering a mathematical framework that not only highlights the complex interplay between treatment, tumor dynamics, and time delays but also provides a foundation for future research aimed at optimizing therapeutic strategies for ALL management.
