FILOSOFIA DA CIÊNCIA SOB O OLHAR COSMOPOLÍTICO - MANEIRAS DE HABITAR E PENSAR UM MUNDO EM COMUM
Authors: Rosa Alex , Pereira Engelmann Iris
Published: October 2024

o presente estudo buscar discutir as proposições acerca da filosofia da ciência numa perspectiva cosmopolítica, ou seja, compreender que uma reorganização dos agentes e sujeitos políticos constituintes da esfera social exige uma reorganização das dimensões de validação epistêmicas que se sedimentam em práticas e/ou organizações institucionais. Para tal pesquisa utilizou-se de método dedutivo com base em revisão de literatura, destacando a base teórica referente ao movimento “Cosmopolítico”, especialmente nos escritos de Isabel Stengers e Bruno Latour, não obstante contribuição de outros autores contemporâneos que também versam sobre. O problema insere-se no contexto do “Antropoceno”, e em especial tensiona como diferentes saberes podem e devem habitar um mundo em comum, reorganizando os desníveis hierárquicos que envolvem os atores políticos. Como hipótese o trabalho propõe uma abordagem cosmopolítica que compreenda outros que humanos como sujeitos políticos legítimos e consequentemente procedimentos que sejam capazes de mediar essas diferentes formas de saber, momento em que a filosofia da ciência é tensionada à luz cosmopolítica.
The Effects of Packaging Color and Product Shape on Customer’s Willingness to Buy Chocolates
Authors: Khan Mashal , Ali Raza
Published: October 2024

This study aims to test the effects of two important product visual cues (i.e., packaging color and product shape) on customers’ willingness to buy chocolates in Pakistan. For this purpose, an online experiment-based survey was conducted in Pakistan, which provided 136 usable customer responses. The results suggest customers’ higher willingness to buy chocolates in red or purple color packaging (as compared to yellow color packaging) and in rectangle shape (as compared to round or triangle shape chocolates). In this way, this study extends the available literature on the effects of visual cues of product (i.e., chocolate) on customers willingness to buy, by providing evidence from an emerging market (i.e., Pakistan). Some important managerial implications and limitations of this study appear at the end of this paper.
Multiple Subjectivities and the Spectrum of Self: A Metamodern analysis of Orphan Black
Authors: Ul Maqsood Zain
Published: October 2024

This study explores human subjectivity and its manifestation from a metamodern perspective in the Canadian TV series Orphan Black and its graphic novel adaptation. To analyze the selected text, two metamodern concepts of Simultaneity and Paradox are used in this article. In addition to metamodernism, transmedia storytelling is used as a theoretical foundation to help understand the manifestation of subjectivity in the form of human cloning in the selected texts.  The study is qualitative in nature and uses Catherine Belsey’s method of textual analysis to read the selected texts. The analysis sheds light on the manifestation of subjectivity in Orphan Black. The said subjectivity manifests in constant oscillation on the spectrum of self. The clones in the selected series simultaneously occupy multiple positions on the spectrum of self and in doing so, the notion of Paradox helps explain how the said positioning is self-contradictory. This eventually creates a trajectory for the subject to move beyond the either-or and neither-nor boundary of self.

Authors: Afzal Muhammad Khalid , Tahmina Kausar
Published: October 2024

Although a huge quantity of plants has been studied for their medicinal importance, there is still a large number of plant species that have never been subjected to systematic phytochemical studies, proximate or mineral contents analysis. In this study, a phytochemical analysis, proximate, and mineral contents investigations have been carried out on indigenous medicinal plant of Pakistan namely Croton sparsiflorus Morong (syn. Croton bonplandianum Baill.)  The proximate and phytochemical compositions of Croton sparsiflorus were investigated following standard procedures. The mineral composition was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer and a flame photometer. The result indicated the healthy mineral level of Croton sparsiflorus. It showed a considerable amount of Zinc (49.2 ppm), Iron (333.6 ppm), Manganese (7.6 ppm), and Copper (23.14 ppm). Phytochemical studies of Croton sparsiflorus confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, proline, and carbohydrates in varying concentrations.  The proximate analysis showed that the dry contents of Croton sparsiflorus were 98.95%. The moisture content in the dry sample was found to be 0.73%. The crude protein (crude protein included both true protein and nonprotein nitrogen) content was 10.63%. This study is another confirmation of the earlier stated facts that this plant is a good source for bio-prospecting. The study further revealed that the plant, Croton sparsiflorus used has substantiated to be very essential in medical research and development, because of the phytochemicals that are contemporaneous and can be utilized in the medical field. Twigs, leaves, roots, stem, and inflorescence of Croton sparsiflorus seem to have good nutritious, and suitable mineral elements worth crucial to preserve good well-being.

An Improved Method for Detecting Covert Channels in the Transport Layer
Authors: Elham Haseli
Published: October 2024

Steganography is one of the techniques used both to leak information and to prevent theft and distortion of confidential information. Covert channels in the network are one of the platforms for information steganography in the network. Often, this method is realized using the network's protocols. Network protocols are used as an information transfer medium. Network protocols can contain critical information and carry them into the network without attracting consideration. Covert channels are evaluated with three different criteria including capacity, robustness, and insensitivity. Also, the methods to deal with it include removing, limiting, and diagnosing the channel. By definition, covert channels are used to realize covert communication. Steganography methods are safe if the stego has no detectable signatures. Put differently, the stego statistical properties (audio, image, and video) should be similar to the cover properties. The ability to discover the message in the stego depends on the length of the hidden message. The proposed method in this study is to consider the amount of redundant information in a repository, explore the discoverable signs of the covert channel, and check the packet length in the checksum field in the UDP protocol at the transmission layer.
Investigating the Behavior and Pattern of Optimal Water Consumption in Continuous Water Distribution Networks
Authors: Nader Torkaman
Published: October 2024

Due to the complexity of water distribution systems and the large scale of decision-making in their analysis, design, operation and maintenance, the need to use optimization methods in upgrading and calibrating the model has become more important than in the past. The most important issue in the simulation modeling of these systems is the consistency between the calculated and measured data. The review of records showed that in the absence of the results of unaccounted water studies in the network, the use of recommended and empirical statistical methods is still needed as one of the main elements in model calibration. The current research was carried out with the aim of improving calibration methods, investigating the effects of different patterns of unaccounted water based on the calculated water consumption pattern and determining the optimal pattern of unaccounted water within the scope of the water distribution network covered by the number of 6 ground reservoirs. Due to the fact that the exact determination of unaccounted water was not available, and on the other hand, the model calibration was affected by the amount and behavior of unaccounted water, so the difference in water production and all measured uses was considered as unaccounted water and its different behaviors in the network, it was investigated according to the behavior (pattern) of water consumption. 3 different hypotheses were evaluated based on the behavior of the network (reservoir output flow rate in the hydraulic model) with the actual behavior of the reservoir output (according to the data and statistics of the tank output meter).
The comparison of three statistical and graphic parameters of pressure distribution showed that the use of the inverse model option of the customers' consumption was not considered as a water model, for calibrating the hydraulic model of the distribution network, more acceptable limits for the closeness of the predicted values to the recorded values of the hourly output reservoirs provided. The confirmation of the hypothesis of the model according to consumption as the pattern of unaccounted water for the studied network indicated that the amount of unaccounted water (unlicensed and unregistered consumers) changed along with the amount of consumption. The present research-applied method in obtaining the results can be a very effective help in designing and optimizing distribution networks for urban water and sewage management organizations (especially in big cities).
Integration of Augmented Reality and Modeling Techniques in Dynamic Systems for Teaching Theorems and Demonstrations in University Mathematics Courses: A Differential Equations-Based Approach and Its Applications.
Authors: Juan Pablo Bustos Rivera
Published: October 2024

Teaching theorems and proofs in mathematics at the university level poses a considerable challenge due to their high abstraction and conceptual complexity. Augmented reality (AR) emerges as an innovative tool that transforms learning by facilitating the visualization and understanding of complex mathematical concepts, particularly in the realm of differential equations, which are fundamental for modeling dynamic systems. This technology allows students to interact with three-dimensional representations, enhancing their comprehension and analytical skills by visualizing the effects and solutions of equations in real time. Despite technological advancements in education, traditional teaching methods remain static and abstract, limiting the assimilation of concepts. The research employed a quantitative approach and a documentary methodology to analyze the effectiveness of integrating AR and modeling techniques, providing data that evidences their positive impact on academic performance. A thorough review of relevant literature was conducted, consolidating a theoretical framework that highlights the importance of these emerging technologies. The findings suggest that implementing AR in the classroom not only improves knowledge retention but also enriches the discussion on mathematics education in higher education.

Food selection and vertical distribution of pelagic whitefish Coregonus lavaretus (L.) in Lake Tyrifjorden, Norway
Authors: Skurdal Jostein , Hessen Dag O. , Berge Dag
Published: October 2024

Zooplankton, almost exclusively cladocerans, was the main food of pelagic whitefish Coregonus lavaretus (L.) in Lake Tyrifjorden, southern Norway. Vertical distribution of whitefish and their zooplankton prey coincided during summer, as both were located close to the surface. In the autumn, however, the whitefish gradually became distributed at deeper layers close to the thermocline, in spite of high surface densities of preferred prey like Daphnia. The downwards migration coincided with an increased number of whitefish with empty stomachs. We suggest that the autumnal downwards migration is a pre-spawning behaviour that advances, and synchronizes gonadal development in mature whitefish.

Background: EBM incorporates evidence of critically appraised research into standard clinical practice. Thus, improving knowledge and skills for EBM should be an essential issue for all physicians. However, there needs to be a clear gap between research evidence and the clinical practice of physicians. Objectives: To assess the awareness, perceptions, and practices of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and identify the main barriers to its application among family medicine residents. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a representative sample of Ministry of Health (MOH) postgraduate Family Medicine residents, enrolled in The Joint Program of Postgraduate Studies in Family Medicine, Jeddah for the academic year 2023-2024 (n=110). Data was collected through using a semi-structured validated self-administered English questionnaire. Results: A total of 87 family medicine residents have participated in the study. Almost two-thirds (63.2%) were females. The most preferred information source during clinical descision making was consulting clinical practice guidelines (mean score was 3.11 out of a possible maximum of 4). Majority of the Family Medicine residents either agreed or strongly agreed that EBM helps clinical decision making (93.1%) and EMB practice improves patient outcomes (92%). As regards familiarity and use of electronic EBM sources among the participants, Uptodate ranked first. The most known methodological terminology related to EBM was Sensitivity and specificity whereas the least known term was odds ratio. The highest score of self-rated confidence in EBM skills was observed among residents of R1 residency level (12.06±2.70) whereas the lowest score was observed among residents of R3 residency level (10.24±2.36), p=0.034. The most frequently identified barriers to EBM application were the fact that EBM is in practical for everyday clinical practice, lack of time to access EBM sources, lack of EBM sources in native language and insufficient basic EBM skill. Conclusion: There was a good awareness and favorable attitude towards EBM among Family Medicine residents in Jeddah, however, practice of EBM among them remained a challenge.

Published: October 2024

Background: The causes of biliary obstruction include choledocholithiasis, which is a non malignant condition, and malignant conditions like cholangiocarcinoma or pancreatic cancer. ERCP is a common procedure that is undertaken in diagnosing and managing these obstructions and depending on the type of obstruction, the results vary. Objectives: The purpose of this work is to assess the success rate, endoscopic modalities and complications of ERCP in cases of benign and malignant blockage of common bile duct. Study design : A prospective study Place and duration of study: July 2023 to December 2023 Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi Gastroenterology Department. Methods: A prospective study was done in 100 patients of Biliary obstruction 50 benign and 50 malignant. After performing the ERCP on the patients, various factors were documented which include; success rate of the procedure, any adverse effects that may have occurred after the procedure and final results. Data analysis included using mean, standard deviation and ‘P’ value in order to determine the differences between the two groups. Results: In the benign group, the overall success rate of ERCP was 92 % and the overall complication rate was 8%. In the malignant group it was 78% of success and 18% complications. The length of the hospital stay was 3. 4 (±1. 1) for benign group and 5. 2 (±1. 5) days for the malignant group. There was found statistical significance of the complication rate difference, p=0. 03. Conclusions: ERCP is very beneficial in both primary benign and malignant biliary strictures, but patients with malignant strictures have greater complication rates and hospital stays than patients with benign strictures. Hence early management and rigorous screening of the patients involved will go a long way in ensuring better results are achieved.
Computational Insights into Pharmacokinetic Profiling of Amygdalin: An In-Silico Study
Authors: Sachdeva Himanshu , Kalra Sunishtha , Arora Kaushal , Kumar Praveen , Verma Yogesh , Pant Aditya Bhushan , Singh Govind
Published: October 2024

Amygdalin is a naturally occurring cyanogenic glycoside which has been used as an alternative anti-cancer agent despite controversies surrounding its efficacy and safety. This study utilized computational approaches to investigate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) properties of amygdalin based on its molecular structure. Amygdalin was modeled in ChemBio3D and submitted to SwissADME and admetSAR servers for ADMET parameter prediction. The in-silico simulations indicated suboptimal pharmacological properties for amygdalin, including low lipophilicity, poor bioavailability, minimal blood-brain barrier permeability and non-compliance with drug-likeness criteria. Additional pharmacokinetic modeling through Simcyp suggested rapid clearance and short half-life after intravenous administration.While toxicity was predicted to be low at regular dosages, the overall pharmacological limitations may pose challenges for amygdalin’s efficacy as an anti-cancer therapy. The computational findings provide comprehensive insights into amygdalin’s drug-like behavior and can inform future in vitro/in vivo investigations on this naturally derived compound.

The article deals with the aspects of creating a balanced fat base, taking into account the norms of the physiological needs of a modern person in lipids and their structural components. The analysis of the fatty acid composition of natural oils of various fatty acid groups and modified fats has been carried out. The content of polyunsaturated fatty acids is from 10 to 15%, while the ratio between ω6/ω3 fatty acids is 10:1, which corresponds to the normal requirement of a healthy person. When adjusting the optimal ratio, not only the medico-biological requirements for the consumption of one or another essential acid, but also the structural and rheological characteristics of the produced product should be taken into account. The data on the balance of fatty bases, natural and modified vegetable oils and fats provide consumer properties of functional fatty products.

The conceptual scheme of the waste gas treatment technology of the CHP includes the organization of interconnected processes of chemical absorption of SO2 and NOx by the carbonate melt of alkali metals and further regeneration of the carbonate-sulfate melt by natural gas. In previous studies, it was shown that it is possible to purify waste gases from sulfur and regenerate the melt with carbon monoxide. The limitations of these works were the use of CO as a reducing agent during the regeneration of the melt, and the practical lack of data on the behavior of nitrogen compounds. These gaps are eliminated in this paper. Based on the results of balance experiments of the process of chemical absorption of SO2 and NOx from waste gases by a carbonate melt, and the regeneration of a carbonate-sulfate melt by natural gas, the principal possibility of implementing a closed technology for deep purification of gases from SO2 and NOx is shown. It is shown that the process of chemical absorption of gases by a carbonate melt and the regeneration of the melt by natural gas at the same temperature of 500 °C allows the technology to be implemented using a single reactor. It was found that during the chemical absorption of SO2 and NOx from the waste gases of the CHP by the carbonate melt of alkali metals, more than 95 % of sulfur and ~60 % of nitrogen compounds are captured. It is shown that in the process of regeneration of a carbonate-sulfate melt with natural gas, 100% extraction of sulfur and nitrogen into the gas phase is achieved with the formation of alkali metal carbonates in the melt. The results of the material balance of the process of chemical absorption and regeneration of the carbonatesulfate melt by reduction with natural gas are presented.

The active economy development, the increase in production growth rates led to the attraction of raw materials, fuel and energy resources to production. Due to the fact that natural resources are not infinite, their use should be improved through effective processing. But the low level of technology introduction in our economy has plunged into a large number of waste. [1] Considering waste as secondary resources and further obtaining material resources from them, it will be possible to reduce the degree of pollution. In this regard, the purpose of the research was to study and identify the essence of the secondary use of raw materials and energy resources and the effectiveness of their use. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved: theoretical foundations of the concept and classification of industrial wastes and secondary resources are considered; secondary resources market and its problems are studied; waste products use on the example of Kazakhmys Smelting is reviewed; main directions of the secondary resources market development and ways of their use are determined.

The theoretical foundations of the recovery process and the technology of silicon smelting in electric arc furnaces are considered. The results of a study of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, and mechanisms of the melting process are presented. Production issues are covered: charge preparation, smelting, refining, gas purification. Physicochemical models of the carbothermal process were developed, proposed and tested under industrial conditions (Tau-Ken-Temir LLP), which made it possible to assess the influence of the specified technological parameters of the smelting (chemical composition and loading coefficients of charge components, temperature) on silicon recovery and grade. To obtain the base material, metallurgical grade silicon is used, obtained by melting in ore-thermal furnaces (RTP). In this regard, the research goal is determined, which consists in studying ways to improve the quality (chemical purity) of silicon, and methods for achieving it at this stage of the study - modeling the carbothermal process for producing silicon.The article describes the main mechanism for the recovery of silica in the furnace, presents one of the designs of the furnace and the technological scheme for the production of silicon. The author suggested studying the process of producing metallurgical silicon in RTP using the HSC Chemistry software package. A model of silicon smelting in RTP was formed, which adequately describes the technological process for producing metallurgical silicon.

The processing of minerals is associated with the generation of a huge amount of waste, accompanied by problems of depositing it and protecting the environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the elemental and phase composition of raw ore materials from enrichment wastes of some deposits in Kazakhstan and to create methods for their processing into new inorganic materials of multifunctional effect. It was established that the main components of the Ashiktas gold-sulfide-quartz ore enrichment wastes are quartz (96.4 wt%) and the mica mineral muscovite (3,6 wt%), harmful impurities in the form of lead, arsenic and antimony are practically absent, which makes it possible to recommend these wastes for the production of silicophosphate fertilizers. It was shown that the wastes of concentration of manganese ore of the Zhayrem deposit are mainly represented by quartzite (76.4 wt%), and also contain quartz (16.4 wt%) and brownite (2.4 wt%). The phosphate products synthesized based on these wastes by the acid-thermal method at 200°C, regardless of the phase composition of the initial wastes, are represented by the highly soluble hydrodiphosphates of the cations included in the raw materials, as well as silicon diphosphate. The obtained products have polyfunctional action and can be used as both silicophosphate fertilizers and metal corrosion inhibitors for aqueous media.
