The Amalgamation Formulae and Iterations of Mono-digit Pedigree
Authors: - HUMPHREY TAKUNDA MUCHAPIREYI
Published: December 2023

In this paper we present equations to generate the concatenation of natural numbers A∈N. The main ingredient of our study is the innocuous repunit of a number R_A ; and in this study we introduce three amalgamation operators: ↕ for the constant, ↑ for the incremental and ↓ for the detrimental cases of concatenation according to a variable arithmetic progression. Our method of amalgamation demonstrates the generation of common number sequences, as well as how any two different natural numbers can be joined and alternated, depending on which of the numbers should be displayed first. We also introduce an operator Ω(A ) based on repunits and whose dynamics yields two constants H_(o )and H_(e )which we calculate. Amongst the few corollaries from this conjecture is an identity stating that the product of the repunits of those irrational numbers R_(H_o ) R_(H_e )is equal to unity.
The Untold Story of A Panchkanya- Kunti, From The Great Epic Mahabharata
Authors: - Akanksha Sharma
Published: December 2023

Indian culture is governed by various mythical tales and epics. Most of these tales and epics highlights the sacrificing, submissive and obedient nature of women and focuses on their single dimensional personalities. Oppressed women facing injustice and hardships is not a new concept, it has been going on since the mythical times. This paper deals with the life of one of the important yet forgotten female character of the great epic Mahabharata, Kunti. Kunti was the first wife of King Pandu and the mother of the five Pandavs namely Yudhishthira, Bheema, Arjun and her two step sons Nakul and Sahadev along with Karana, whom she had out of a wedlock. She has often been criticized for various things but lesser known is the fact that her life was full of struggles and hardships. The Pain and suffering of Draupadi, Gandhari and Amba have always been discussed at length but Kunti, inspite of the injustice she faced since her childhood until she died has got no mention anywhere. The paper aims to give her the due credit she deserves, taking into account the various aspects of her life and analyzing them through the lens of feminist criticism.

Published: December 2023

Purpose of the Study: This research aims to explore student nurses' experience with blended learning since it is new to the nursing school system in the Philippines. Furthermore, its goal is to discover students' voices dealing with blended learning.
Research Method: The study utilized a qualitative descriptive phenomenological research design. It aims to understand and interpret emotionally laden topics. The investigation uncovers what a lived experience means to the individual through in-depth interviews. The researcher conducted this study according to ethical principles to avoid potential participant harm. The School's Research Ethics Committee reviewed the manuscript and granted authorization approval. The research team ensured the participants' privacy throughout the study by maintaining confidentiality for all collected data. Each participant was assigned a code to uphold confidentiality. In this study, ten (10) participants were interviewed via zoom and the transcripts were analyzed using the Giorgi method of thematic analysis.
Findings: The ten (10) transcripts yielded four hundred forty-seven (447) significant statements, four hundred ninety-five (495) final codes, fourteen (14) subthemes, and finally, two (2) emergent themes, namely: 1) The future of Nursing Education through adaptation, innovation, and revolutionary learning and 2) Blended learning empowers diversity of learners.
Implications: Based on the findings, teaching strategies heavily affect students' interaction, engagement, and attentiveness. Safe learning environments, rest or comfort at home, affordability, and reduced travel time are the advantages of using blended learning strategies for online learning, while simulations, schedules, reduced travel time, actual clinical exposures, and improved knowledge retention are the benefits of using blended learning strategies for face-to-face learning while fragile internet access, meeting deadlines for requirements, increased costs, teachers' differing approaches to handling requirements, schedule conflicts, and getting up early in the morning are challenges for student nurses using blended learning methodologies. Hence, creating a more equitable and effective system that benefits everyone is by transforming education and care through innovation and inclusion.

Design and Improvement of Dewatering System Implemented for Biogas Slurry
Authors: - Sunil Yadav
Published: December 2023

The project addresses the pressing need for organic fertilizers in Nepal and explores an eco-friendly alternative to chemical fertilizers. By dewatering biogas residue, this research contributes to sustainable agriculture practices. The project's methodology involved a combination of research, literature recommendations, and guidance from experienced supervisors. SolidWorks was utilized for the design phase, while ANSYS facilitated simulation works. Subsequently, the testing of the dewatering machine was conducted. The biogas slurry used for testing and sun-drying was sourced from a prototype 1m3 capacity biogas plant. The machine's performance was evaluated at various operating speeds, with 8 rpm identified as the most efficient. Notable outcomes included a liquid yield of 52.51%, an extraction efficiency of 79.11%, and extraction losses amounting to 22.80%. To enhance the quality of the organic fertilizer, the slurry sample underwent sun-drying for different durations: 24, 48, and 72 hours. Nutrient concentrations (TS, N, P, K) were analyzed, that came with the 48-hour sun-drying period proving to be the most effective in reducing Total Solid contents. Comparatively, pre-treating the slurry sample for 24 and 48 hours prior to testing in the dewatering machine allowed for an assessment of the machine's efficiency, offering valuable insights to be contrasted with the sun-drying process. This research paves the way for a greener, more efficient method of dewatering biogas slurry, aligning with Nepal's agricultural and environmental sustainability goals.

An Analysis of Gig Workers and Challenges Surrounding Their Employment
Authors: - Tejaswini S , - Abirami V
Published: December 2023

The workforce in India comprises about 450 million informal workers, amounting to 92.4% of India’s workforce. In terms of employment, the unorganised sector employs about 83% of the workforce. Interestingly, a new sector of informal workforce has emerged in the last decade famously called the “gig workers” or “platform-based” workers. The term “unorganised worker” has been defined under the Unorganized Workers' Social Security Act, 2008, as a home based worker, self-employed worker or a wage worker. This definition, perhaps does not include gig workers but they fall under the second clause of the definition where the term has not been defined in any of the labour codes. They are addressed as platform workers, as they are employed by corporations via digital applications creating a platform-dependent employment system. Rajasthan was the first state in India to draft a bill, for the protection of gig workers and provide them with adequate regulatory mechanism to prevent exploitation of their freelance. This paper analyses various aspects of gig economy, taking into account the increasing need of platform workers. It also proposes certain measures to address the needs of these workers and suggests a well devised mechanism for smooth relations between worker and the aggregator. Much of the gig economy boomed during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it came in handy for delivery of food, essentials, and transportation services, which was hugely affected during the pandemic. The scope of the research is limited to discussing various issues faced by platform workers (workers employed by aggregators like Swiggy, Ola, Uber etc.) and suggesting certain solutions for the same.

Published: December 2023

Dysmenorrhea is pain that resembles cramps in the lower abdominal area during menstruation. Symptoms of dysmenorrhea appear in the form of pain in the midline of the lower abdomen, which begins to appear several hours before or at the same time as menstrual bleeding. This research aims to determine the effect of spinning exercise on dysmenorrhea and analyze the reduction in pain symptoms for dysmenorrhea. This research used a quasi-experimental design using a pre-post-test approach in the control and intervention groups. Data was collected on 32 students, 16 respondents in the spinning and 16 respondents in the control group-intensity measurement of spinning exercise using a cycling ergometer and measuring dysmenorrhea pain using visual analogic. The results of the statistical test between the control group and the spinning group obtained p-value = 0.027 < 0.05, which shows that group with medium and heavy-intensity spinning exercise is more effective in reducing dysmenorrhea than group with light-intensity spinning exercise. Adolescents are a group that has high activity in physical exercise. This characteristic is one of the factors for using spinning exercise treatment to treat dysmenorrhea in adolescents. This intervention becomes easier for adolescents to carry out.

Strangulated Incisional Hernia Post Appendectomy: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Rahayu Dewi , Hendwell  , Hendsun  , Bermana Frengky
Published: December 2023

Background: Incisional hernia is a condition in which internal organs, such as the intestines, protrude through a previous surgical incision or suture. This occurs due to the failure of the abdominal wall to close properly. The closure of the abdominal wall is influenced by patient-related factors and technical factors during surgery. Incisional hernia following appendectomy is a rare condition, with an incidence rate of less than 0.12%. With this case report, the author aims to contribute to the literature on strangulated incisional hernia post-appendectomy.

Case presentation: A 42-year-old male presented to the emergency department with complaints of right lower abdominal pain for the past three days. The patient reported a lump that had been intermittently present for the past nine years but became persistent three days ago. The patient had a history of appendectomy nine years ago. Vital signs were relatively stable, and physical examination revealed a bluish mass measuring 10x8x4 cm in the abdomen. Radiological abdominal assessment revealed a high-level obstructive ileus. Subsequently, the patient underwent a laparotomy, and a right hemicolectomy was performed, removing a segment measuring 50 cm from the ileocecal junction to the ascending colon.

Conclusion: Incisional hernia following appendectomy is a rare complication, but it can occur due to various risk factors, such as surgical site infection, improper choice of suture material, and inappropriate wound closure technique. The management of this condition can involve the use of tension-free synthetic mesh in either laparotomy or laparoscopy.
Antibiotic Management in Bacterial Pneumonia: A Narrative Literature Review
Authors: Herdika Yusri , Rohani Lasmaria
Published: December 2023

Pneumonia is an acute inflammation of the lung parenchyma caused by various types of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The use of antibiotics is often faced with many types and inappropriate doses, and using antibiotics for too long can increase the risk of bacteria multidrug resistance (MDR). Therefore, the choice and dosage of antibiotics must be appropriate to reduce the rate of bacterial resistance. The increasing incidence of bacterial resistance is an indicator of failure in treating pneumonia because, apart from clinical improvement, optimal eradication of bacteria should also be the goal in every antibiotic administration. The aim of this literature review is to explain the basis for administering and selecting empiric antibiotics for pneumonia infections as well as appropriate antibiotic management and adequate especially in bacterial pneumonia, to provide a better prognosis.
Multiple stonecutters’ marks on marble in the Late Antique Mediterranean: distribution, function, and meaning
Authors: Marsili Giulia
Published: December 2023

Masons’ marks can be seen as informative symbols designed to convey one or more pieces of information from stonemasons or officials to other actors involved in the carving and building process. As such, when evaluated in their respective archaeological contexts, they can shed light on the artisanal and technical dynamics at play at different stages of work on building sites. In Late Antiquity, the alphabetic characters, usually carved on stone elements only once, had the form of single letters, multiple letters in ligature, or monograms. However, the marked objects were often double-numbered or, more rarely, engraved with multiple groups of marks. A thorough study of this phenomenon aims to explain the function of these marks and their significance for the workflow. In some cases, assembly or positioning marks are coupled with workshop marks, indicating the need of different groups of craftsmen to convey specific technical information. In other cases, more than one workshop is recorded on a single piece, providing data on the complexity of the craftsmanship, on the labor effort involved, and thus on the economic dimension of the project. This paper attempts to reassess the phenomenon of multiple masons’ marks in its historical and geographical dimensions, with a focus on the building sites of the imperial capital and further reference to other archaeological examples throughout the Mediterranean.
Between private and public: The use of marble in Late Antique Caesarea Maritima
Authors: Gersht Rivka , Gendelman Peter
Published: December 2023

Late Antique Caesarea was a city of marble. Marble cargoes continued to arrive at the port after the 4th century AD as plain blocks, half-finished or finished products; these constituted a significant addition to the available Roman marble products, which were used as-is or recycled in streets, as well as private, public, and semi-public constructions. Large-scale sawing, cutting and carving took place in Late Antique Caesarea. Craftsmen were employed in producing opus sectile panels, in paving, veneering, and carving architectural members, champlevé reliefs and lattice screen panels, and in mounting all marble products comprising the exterior and interior decoration of each complex. In all structures marble was used for similar purposes, although each was unique in terms of quantity, quality, and diversity of the material. The examples discussed show that at every stage of the city’s existence the Caesareans were familiar with the most up-to-date fashions and were no less innovative than their counterparts in the region and beyond. The aesthetic principle of varietas, which became fashionable in Late Antiquity and was adopted by the Caesareans, found its way from the public to the private and semi-public spheres, and is manifested in most, if not all, of the complexes discussed in this paper.
Marmora Bizantina: A digital corpus of marble finds from the southern Levant
Authors: Gwiazda Mariusz
Published: December 2023

Archaeological excavations in the Levant have provided a significant number of marble finds dated to the early Byzantine period (4th – mid-7th century CE). Information on these objects is, however, scattered over numerous publications, hindering synthetic studies of marble imports that reached this part of the Mediterranean world. A way to address this problem was to create a database facilitating access to the dataset of marble finds from the southern Levant. This paper presents the Marmora Bizantina database, describes its content and interface, and discusses the geographic and chronological scope of the dataset. Some uses of the database are discussed, remarking on the limitations that need to be taken into account. The paper also provides information on the analytical tools available on the database website.
Marble as votive offering? Social agency in the post‑Classical Levant
Authors: Hamarneh Basema
Published: December 2023

This paper combines archaeology and written sources to examine the ways in which marble was used in the churches of the southern Levant in Late Antiquity. In particular, by analyzing the displays of these offerings within the church, and the types of texts engraved on them, it focuses on how, and to what extent, marble donations reflected social position, patronage, and identity. Most of the objects considered here bear inscriptions expressing devotion to saints, martyrs, and prophets, as well as a few quotations from Scripture, but overall, most reflect prayers and invocations by community members. The study therefore attempts to identify the genre of these texts and the objects they adorn to establish the relationship between donation and donor and to provide an analysis of the distribution of these objects within the church proper in the broader regional context of the Late Antique Levant.

Článek pojednává o Rozhodčím soudu a rozhodčím řízení. Závěrem upozorňuje, že ustanovení o vztazích, jež se týkají uplatnění práva u soudu, soudního řízení nebo soudního rozhodnutí, se použije přiměřeně i pro uplatnění práva před Rozhodčím soudem (rozhodcem), pro rozhodčí řízení nebo rozhodčí nález, jestliže se opírají o platnou rozhodčí smlouvu (rozhodčí doložku). Zásadní kategorií důkazních prostředků jsou důkazy listinné, které s ohledem na povahu sporů ze smluv, které jsou v rozhodčím řízení projednávány, jsou většinou dostačující k prokázání skutkových tvrzení stran. Jiné důkazy mohou provádět v rozhodčím řízení jen tehdy, jsou-li poskytnuty. Příčinou této specifické úpravy průběhu dokazování je okolnost, že k provedení svých úkonů nedisponuje rozhodce ani Rozhodčí soud státní donucovací mocí k jejich nařízení.

Sus cuerpos asesinados y enterrados en fosas comunes, fueron posteriormente exhumados, reinhumados (a menudo varios veces) y fragmentados en numerosas reliquias que multiplican su poder como mediadores entre el cielo y la tierra en un proceso que comenzó en los años 40 y todavía no ha concluido. Este artículo reflexiona sobre la creación contemporánea de estas reliquias analizando las normas, usos y prácticas de esta peculiar forma de culto católico que trata los restos humanos sagrados con sus propias reglas, avaladas por el Derecho Canónico, al margen de las convenciones sobre la conservación de restos arqueológicos.

The findings revealed a significant improvement in academic performance, with students exposed to PBL exhibiting heightened Engagement and a notable surge in interest in STEM subjects. Critical thinking skills experienced substantial enhancement, highlighting the practical implications of PBL in developing essential cognitive abilities. The study contributed to the existing literature by validating the positive outcomes of PBL. It offered valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers seeking to implement effective, experiential learning strategies in STEM education. The research, conducted in the past tense, presents a comprehensive exploration of the transition from theoretical concepts to the practical application of PBL in STEM curricula.
Vinculación comunitaria intercultural y sustentable
Authors: De Luca Luis Marcelo
Published: December 2023

Se trata de un texto que busca en pocas páginas señalar algunos inconvenientes y nudos conceptuales problemáticos para quienes pretendemos recuperar el sentido de lo biocultural, como ética y razón de los cambios sociales que deseamos ver en marcha en las comunidades rurales, con especial atención a las condiciones de los pueblos originarios, objetivo principal de las universidades interculturales. La vinculación comunitaria que se ha ejercitado desde la Universidad Intercultural del Estado de Puebla podría transformarse en la instancia desde donde se generen las posibles acciones para enfrentar las necesidades y complejas problemáticas. Se trata de aportar desde la experiencia sostenida durante algunos años una serie de interrogantes que orientan la búsqueda de explicaciones y posibles acciones que faciliten avanzar hacia una complementación satisfactoria para todos los actores participantes en lo que podemos denominar operativos de vinculación comunitaria, uno de los ejes formativos principales practicado en las universidades interculturales.

Published: December 2023

The problems in this study are based on the results of observations and interviews that the author conducted, first, the teaching teacher still uses printed book media, second, the teacher still uses the lecture method, third, the teacher has not used technological media as a support. Meanwhile, students said they felt bored and quite difficult to understand the material for teaching morals because teachers still did not use technology-based me-dia as a support. Based on this, the researcher is interested in conducting research by providing a technological approach, namely producing the design of learning media for Aqidah Akhlak with smart apps creators based on mobile apps at MTI Canduang. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the DDD-E development model. Media development using the DDD-E model consists of Decide, Design, Develop, Evaluate. The results of the product test that the author did obtained a validity test from 6 validators obtained a value of 0.82 with a valid category, practicality test from 2 students obtained a value of 0.92 with a very high category, and the effectiveness test of 15 students obtained a value of 0.84 with high effectiveness category.
La Transferencia del conocimiento y la Innovación en la implementación de Políticas Públicas y Género, Una revisión sistemática de la literatura
Authors: Rodríguez Giraldo William Hernán , Riascos Erazo Sandra Cristina , Tabarquino Muñoz Raúl Andrés , Romo Melo Liliana
Published: December 2023

Este artículo presenta un análisis bibliométrico, en relación a las publicaciones realizadas sobre la transferencia del conocimiento, la innovación y el género en la implementación de las políticas públicas. El objetivo principal es conocer la evolución que han tenido las publicaciones en este tema durante los últimos 20 años, es decir entre 2001 y 2020. Concretamente se analizan los tesauros, los autores, países e instituciones más representativos. Este análisis permitió encontrar que los constructos planteados han sido investigados desde muchas disciplinas –medicina, tecnología, ciencias sociales, administración, etc.-, pero existe un vacío académico en cuanto a la aplicación de estos conceptos en las políticas públicas y su implementación. Para el análisis se utilizó la base de datos WoS de ISI. También se emplearon métodos cuantitativos, de análisis de co-ocurrencia, brindando un marco del rendimiento de la investigación en estos temas
La Importancia de la Inteligencia Emocional para la Mejora del Rendimiento Académico y la Inclusión en el Nivel Medio Superior
Authors: Jaimes Del Moral Rodolfo
Published: December 2023

El presente texto aborda el tema de la inteligencia emocional como rasgo potenciador del desempeño académico de estudiantes en riesgo de exclusión en el sistema educativo mexicano, dentro del nivel medio superior. Se destacan estudios que dan cuenta de lo anterior y el área de oportunidad que representa incluir el aspecto afectivo en las interacciones de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Además de favorecer lo concerniente al desempeño académico, el modelo de inteligencia emocional, propuesto por Mayer y Salovey (1997), ha demostrado también coadyuvar en otras áreas importantes de la vida, favoreciendo una adecuada gestión emocional en las personas. De esta manera, hacer investigaciones en este sentido, además de obtener los beneficios señalados, podría ser un medio valioso para incidir también de manera exitosa en el tema de la inclusión en educación.
Pemodelan Indeks Pembangunan Manusia Nusa Tenggara Barat Menggunakan Geographically Weighted Regression
Authors: Mala Faiqotul , Hidayat Muhamad Fariq
Published: December 2023

The Human Development Index (HDI) is an indicator for measuring the level of social and economic development of a country or region. The reality is that a local-based model of autonomy is often needed because of the spatial heterogeneity that can occur due to the territory's geographical, social, cultural, or other conditions. This research aims to find spatial effects affecting HDI in West Nusa Tenggara Province. A method that can be used to accommodate is Geographically Weighter Regression (GWR). GWR analysis is the development of multiple linear regression analysis that can address territorial diversity/spatial heterogeneity so as to produce different models and predictions of parameters for each observation region. The modeling was carried out using the Gaussian Kernel Adaptive spatial weigher with an optimal bandwidth value of 27,1227 and a minimum CV value of 5,2927. The GWR model modeling resulted in 10 models for each observation location and showed that life expectancy variables, school expectance, per capita income, and average school-age significantly influenced the IPM in the West Southeast Nusa Province in 2022 with an R2 of 99.92% and a minimum AIC value of -10,0281.
Toward a general neoclassical theory of economic growth
Authors: Villanueva Delano
Published: December 2023

The Harrod-Domar (H-D) growth model assumes a fixed capital-output ratio, signifying absence of substitutability between capital and labor, leading to a “knife-edge” problem wherein balanced growth of capital (fixed warranted rate) and labor (fixed natural rate) occurs only by accident, preventing the attainment of macroeconomic stability with full employment. The neoclassical Solow-Swan (S-S) growth model provides an elegant solution to the H-D problem by endogenizing the warranted rate via the saving-investment relation, wherein capital growth is a function of a fully adjusting income-capital ratio (inverse of the H-D capital-output ratio)— allowing for smooth substitutability between capital and labor while keeping the natural rate exogenously fixed. The S-S model implies a positive, albeit temporary output growth effect of a higher saving rate. The present paper extends the capital-labor ratio’s influence onto the natural rate via effects on labor productivity through a modified Arrow learning by doing framework, and via labor participation through real wage adjustments. Thus, the positive output growth of a higher saving rate, although temporary in the short run as in the S-S model, is permanent in the long run through adjustments in both the warranted and natural rates—a generalization of the Solow-Swan model.
Measuring fiscal policy sustainability in developing Asia: what does the Markov Switching Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test tell us?
Authors: Premacio Dannah Ysabel , Vidar Ezra Rebecca , Monsod Toby
Published: December 2023

This paper measures fiscal sustainability in 22 developing Asian countries for the period 1999–2017. Previous literature generates conflicting results: one paper applies the usual stationarity and cointegration tests and finds that fiscal policy is sustainable but in weak form. Another paper employs a fiscal reaction function and finds that fiscal policy is unsustainable. This paper uses an expanded version of the Markov Switching Augmented Dickey-Fuller test (MS-ADF), which remedies the shortcomings of conventional stationarity tests to provide more statistical power in the presence of nonlinearities and structural breaks. The MS-ADF has never been applied to this set of countries. Results show that the majority of the countries have “uncertain” debt trajectories, not definitively sustainable or unsustainable but somewhere in-between. This is a more nuanced picture of the debt trajectories in the region relative to what is obtained using the established methods. A more nuanced assessment could lead to more suitable policy corrections.
