Authors: Rana Sobia , Nawaz Hina
Published: February 2024

Background and Objective: Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent histone deacetylase. It plays a crucial role in the regulation of fat and glucose metabolism by influencing proteins involved in nutrient sensing and energy regulation. This study examined the effects of the interaction between the SIRT1 rs7069102 variant and lifestyle factors on obesity-associated anthropometric and metabolic phenotypes in the local population of Pakistan.
Methods: The study population incorporated 612 participants comprising an equal number of individuals having both normal body mass index and those who were overweight/obese. Anthropometric indices were assessed by employing standard protocols of corresponding body measurements while metabolic variables were determined by conducting relevant biochemical assays. The data related to lifestyle factors was collected by developing a standard questionnaire. Genotyping of rs7069102 was done by performing a TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. The data were analyzed by means of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software by performing regression analyses adjusted for relevant confounders and corrected for multiple comparisons.
Results: The data analyses revealed that the interaction of SIRT1 rs7069102 with low physical activity (LPA) and also with irregular sleepwake cycle (SWC) influenced many anthropometric and metabolic indices such as weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, percent body fat, skinfold thicknesses (triceps, supra-iliac, sub-scapular, abdominal, biceps, and thigh), homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, fasting insulin, visceral adiposity index, lipid accumulation product and triglycerides (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: In conclusion, the interplay of the SIRT1 rs7069102 with LPA and also with irregular SWC may have a considerable impact on adiposity-associated anthropometric and metabolic outcomes in the local population of Pakistan.

Published: February 2024

Subcultures are of significant interest to researchers in the humanities. The processes of digitalization and mediatization, when media network activity and media activities globally affect basic social institutions, suggest a systematic study of subcultures in the context of communication theory. It is noted that the formation and further stability, up to the rooting in the general culture, is characteristic of the youth subculture of hip-hop. The authors of the article set a strategic goal - to find out, on the basis of theoretical and methodological approach, due to what systemic (formal and content) characteristics hip-hop has spread among young people, what communicative characteristics of this subculture determined its flourishing in the period of digitalization. Among the tasks that were solved are the following: characterization of the hip-hop industry as a network media phenomenon is given, the dynamics of its changes at the level of subsystems is considered. The authors for the first time put forward and proved the hypothesis that hip-hop reflects all five stages of development of the system of mass communications. The analysis reveals the rhizome-like nature of the hip-hop subculture as the main reason for the systemic stability of this media phenomenon. The article comprehensively considers the totality of components of the hip-hop subculture as effective communicative practices: graffiti, breakdancing, DJing, rap (rap battles). The tendency of active entry of some subcultural processes and products into mass culture is noted. The peculiarities of hip-hop slang are outlined. The article brings the media-communication approach into the agenda of further scientific research of youth subcultures (primarily hip-hop) and actualizes it.

Published: February 2024

Acantholytic squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is an uncommon histopathological variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This tumor commonly occurs in the sun exposed areas of skin at the head and neck location. The possible occurrence at mucosal sites has seldom been reported. Although, this malignant tumor has an excellent prognosis in the skin, in sharp contrast, mucosal involvement carries a worse prognosis. Here, we explore an intriguing case of an asphyxial death of a 35-year-old man due to a polypoidal mass occluding the airway in the glottic region. Subsequently, based on the histopathological and immunohistochemical findings, the cause of death was diagnosed as ASCC based on histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. Furthermore, this report also highlights the rarity of this variant of SCC at an uncommon location, thus making it the third case ever reported in literature. The other interesting fact about this case is that most of the published reports in the literature have described and diagnosed this rare variant on antemortem examination; contrarily, a postmortem diagnosis of ASCC is exceptional, making it the first report ever in history.

Dominasi Layar di Masa Pandemi dalam terang Pemikiran Anne Friedberg
Authors: Ageza Gorivana
Published: February 2024

Screen allows humans to experience and understand the world without being limited by the existence of their physical body. This is one of Anne Friedberg's main ideas in her works, which supports the main basis for this article. The Covid-19 pandemic that has occurred since March 2020 has limited, reduced, slowed down, and in some situations it could even be said it almost stopped human mobility, for example, in areas over the world where the ‘lockdown’ policy was applied. As a consequence, mobility turns into immobility. This condition corresponds to the reality during the pandemic dominated by the presence of screen. There has been growing importance of domestic space as the centre of everydayness that gives crucial role to the screen as its window to the world. This could be perceived as virtual mobility, in the sense that it was a ‘mobility’ without bodily mobility. This article elaborates Friedberg's thoughts with regard to virtual mobility that has been increasingly dominated by the screen, by examining its relevance to the actual conditions of the people during the pandemic. At the end of this article, the consequences of this massive virtual mobility and screen dominance during the pandemic are analysed—a situation that might bring further implications on the experiences of aura, panopticon, and consumption.
Finding your voice for the oppressed: Testimonial injustice and testimonial smothering contextualised through epistemic entrenchment, and the interruption of talking back
Authors:   , Hanna Danielle
Published: February 2024

In my thesis, I highlight how testimonial injustice is intimately connected to testimonial smothering. To illustrate the process, I explore the concepts of the credibility economy and negative-identity-prejudicial-stereotypes as brought forth by Miranda Fricker. In exploring these concepts, I connect them to the social construction of race as well as stereotype threat and double consciousness. I highlight testimonial injustice as microaggression, gaslighting, consistent and iterative, creating the circumstances for testimonial smothering to occur. I move into identifying how privileged individuals hold onto bigoted beliefs through a concept I term epistemic entrenchment. Epistemic entrenchment has three components, epistemic bubbles, epistemic resistance, and echo chambers, all of which lie along a continuum on which one's beliefs reside. The level of entrenchment indicates expected behaviours that one engages in, to protect beliefs from new relevant information. Finally, I provide four interruptions to the process of ignorance and testimonial smothering, to enable an oppressed individual to testify. These four disruptions consist of: saying something is better than nothing; asking one to notes; mutual confession; and meeting halfway. My thesis focuses on the smothering of oppressed individuals' testimony, how the ignorance of privileged individuals is amplified by epistemic entrenchment, and finally how this process can be interrupted.
From Mistrust to Missed Shots: The effect of interpersonal and institutional trust on COVID-19 vaccination delay and refusal
Authors:   , Blamey Amelia
Published: February 2024

This thesis investigates the effect of interpersonal and institutional trust on COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy. The COVID-19 pandemic unfolded as an unprecedented public health crisis with profound social and economic consequences. Although the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccinations helped to reduce the spread and severity of the disease, ongoing vaccine hesitancy has presented a challenge to achieving sufficient coverage. Our research seeks to determine whether interpersonal and institutional trust predict COVID-19 vaccination delay and refusal. We use an unprecedentedly rich and representative dataset of over 22,000 New Zealand respondents, sourced from the 2014, 2016, and 2018 General Social Survey. Respondents reported their trust in seven domains: Parliament, police, health, education, courts, media, and the general public. These data are linked to respondents’ vaccination status, vaccination event date, and demographic characteristics. We use linear regression models to assess the correlation between interpersonal and institutional trust and vaccination delay and refusal while controlling for relevant covariates. Our research findings reveal that all measured trust domains exhibit a significant, negative correlation with vaccine hesitancy. As trust increases, vaccination hesitancy decreases. The correlation is strongest for trust in police and interpersonal trust, and weakest for trust in media. By understanding how trust informs vaccination decision-making, we can better prepare for and respond to future pandemics and public health crises.

DEVELOPMENT OF A THEORETICAL MODEL TO ESTIMATE THE EROSION WEAR RATE OF POLYMER COMPOSITES
Authors: Mohammed Raffi
Published: February 2024

Nowadays Polymeric materials reinforced with synthetic fibers play an incredible role in almost all spheres of day-to-day life due to their elevated stiffness, outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, and electrical, thermal, and wear properties. The accumulation of micro-fillers or particulates in polymeric components reinforced with fibers made from synthetic materials may enhance their properties compared to fiber-reinforced composites. Solid particle erosion of engineering components made up of polymer composites is a major industrial problem, and it is significantly affected by the components' mechanical characteristics and their working environment. Therefore, it's essential to research the polymer composites' solid particle erosion properties. One area that has attracted less research attention is the impact of particle fillers and E-glass fiber reinforcing on erosion wear characteristics. Because of its significance to science and industry, research in this area is especially needed about particle fillers. Furthermore, to properly design a machine or structural component and use materials that will increase wear resistance, one must have a thorough grasp of how every system variable affects wear rate. In this research article, to estimate the erosion damage induced by solid particle impact on composites without conducting the experiment on an air jet erosion test rig, a theoretical model is proposed. The successful implementation of this theoretical model can reduce the experimentation cost with good quantitative accuracy.
AI FOR INFANT WELL-BEING: ADVANCED TECHNIQUES IN CRY INTERPRETATION AND MONITORING
Authors: Maiti Ananjan
Published: February 2024

In order to improve the welfare of newborns, this study investigates the use of sound-recognition-based artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to the interpretation and monitoring of infant screams. Crying has long been a problem because it is the primary means of communication between infants and caregivers. The limitations of conventional interpretation techniques are discussed. These limitations include the subjective nature of interpretation and the inability to detect subtle variations in crying patterns. The goal of the research is to categorize crying patterns based on the cries of male and female infants and identify noises that are a sign of distress. The study utilized the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) method to extract features from internet-sourced MP3 and WAV audio data. The technique successfully captured the unique qualities of each crying sound using various machine-learning models, including Random Forest and XGBoost. These models outperformed others with accuracy rates of 94.5% and 94.2%, respectively. These findings show how well these algorithms perform in correctly categorizing various newborn cries. The findings of this study establish the platform for possible Internet of Things (IoT) and healthcare framework implementations targeted at supporting parents in caring for their newborns by offering an insightful understanding of the distinctive vocalizations connected with weeping.
A NOVEL CONCEPT OF THE THEORY OF DYNAMICS OF NUMBERS AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE QUADRATIC EQUATION
Authors: Bhattacharyya Prabir Chandra
Published: February 2024

Considering the basic role of numbers in Mathematics, Science, and Technology the author developed a new structure of numbers named as ‘Theory of Dynamics of Numbers.’ According to the Theory of Dynamics of Numbers, the author defined 0 (zero) is the starting point of any number and also defined 0 (zero) as a neutral number. The numbers can move in infinite directions from the starting point 0 (zero) and back to 0 (zero). The author has defined the three types of numbers: 1) Neutral Numbers, 2) Count Up Numbers, and 3) Count Down Numbers. These three types of numbers cover the entire numbers in the number system where there is no necessity for the concept of imaginary numbers. Introducing this new concept the author solved the quadratic equation in one unknown (say x) in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, even if the numerical value of the discriminant b2 – 4ac < 0 in real numbers without using the concept of imaginary numbers. Already the author solved the quadratic equation x2 + 1 = 0 and proved that √ -1 = -1 by using the Theory of Dynamics of Numbers. The Theory of Dynamics of Numbers is a more powerful tool than that of the real and imaginary number system to explain the truth of nature.

Published: February 2024

The article analyzes the impact of anti-Russian sanctions on the image and perception of the Russian Federation in the global political landscape. The consequences of sanctions on Russia’s current image and the potential long-term impact on its international reputation are considered. The imposition of sanctions is viewed as a step that has far-reaching consequences for Russia’s perception on the world stage, but so far it has had a limited practical effect. The measures taken by Russia in response to the sanctions pressure are considered, they are the search for alternative trading partners outside the Western world, investment in import substitution and the development of domestic industry. The effects of sanctions on the Russian economy are analyzed, the latter due to these measures has turned out to be in general more stable than it was expected by Western countries. Special attention is paid to the new opportunities for international cooperation that have opened up for Russia after the imposition of sanctions. The strengthened partnership relations of the Russian Federation with a number of non-Western countries that share Russia’s positions on key geopolitical issues are considered. The potential of these new ties for strengthening Russia’s international position and its role in shaping the new world order is analyzed.

Authors: Sunthornwat Rapin , Sukparungsee Saowanit , Areepong Yupaporn
Published: February 2024

This research aims to investigate a Homogenously Weighted Moving Average (HWMA) control chart for detecting minor and moderate shifts in the process mean. A mathematical model for the explicit formulae of the average run length (ARL) of the HWMA control chart based on the autoregressive (AR) process is presented. The efficacy of the HWMA control chart is evaluated based on the average run length, the standard deviation of run length (SDRL), and the median run length (MRL). As illustrations of the design and implementation of the HWMA control chart, numerical examples are provided. In numerous instances, a comparative analysis of the HWMA control chart relative to the Extended Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (Extended EWMA) and cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts with mean process shifts is performed in detail. Additionally, the relative mean index (RMI), the average extra quadratic loss (AEQL), and the performance comparison index (PCI) are utilized to evaluate the performance of control charts. For various shift sizes, the HWMA control chart is superior to the Extended EWMA and CUSUM control charts. This study applies empirical data from the area of economics to validate the explicit formula of ARL values for the HWMA control chart. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2024-05-01-02 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Yenipınar Burak , Saygın Ali , Sönmez Yusuf , Yılmaz Cemal , Ocak Cemil
Published: February 2024

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are consciously used as traction motors in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The rotor position (inner-rotor, outer-rotor) and topology of PMSMs significantly impact their torque profile, efficiency, and demagnetization characteristics. This article focuses on designing an outer-rotor permanent-magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMaSynRM) under traction motor requirements and investigating its electromagnetic performance using the finite element method (FEM). This study's primary challenge is achieving optimal machine performance, considering high maximum torque and the risk of demagnetization at low levels. The design, derived from analytical calculations, was subjected to Finite Element Method (FEM) analyses. These analyses investigated motor performance in terms of efficiency, the ability to generate torque at different drive currents, and the risk of demagnetization. As a result of the study, the proposed PMaSynRM design was obtained that provides an adequate demagnetization performance even under 300% loading, has a maximum torque exceeding 35 Nm, and achieves an efficiency of 90% at rated conditions.

O e-book e-Almanaque EtnoMatemaTicas Brasis (Primavera-Verão, 2024) é uma edição temática: Onde está ???. Busca inquirir sobre a presença do ?? na realidade real e imaginária, reconhecendo-o matemática e socialmente. Reúne intenções e ações investigativas e pedagógicas que se mostram contributivas para a percepção e captação de fatos e fenômenos que evidenciam que “o Pi está em todo lugar”. Afins com o Programa Etnomatemática, os autores contribuem com produções relativas aos seus objetos de estudo e experiências pedagógicas, cientes de que o ?? é uma tica de matema de distintos etnos, uma Etnomatemática. Os conteúdos abordados podem interessar educadores e pesquisadores no aprofundamento sociocultural da sua construção conceitual, no entendimento interdisciplinar do seu papel na formação escolar e na percepção transdisciplinar de que o ?? não pode engaiolar-se epistemologicamente. Fruto de uma parceria entre a EtnoMatemaTicas Brasis, a Red Internacional de Círculos y Festivales Matemáticos (CYFEMAT) e o International Study Group on Ethnomathematics (ISGEm), a expectativa é que a obra: encontre seu lugar em múltiplos espaços educacionais e na formação inicial e em exercício de educadores matemáticos, instigue curiosidades, criatividades e o espírito investigativo que mobilizam a aprendizagem, amplie a percepção, o reconhecimento e o uso consciente de conhecimentos matemáticos no viver e no conviver em sociedade.
Slope and land use in western doon of Dehra, Uttrakhand (India)
Authors: Tajvir
Published: February 2024

The study of slope of the terrain of a geomorphic unit is very significant. slope may be expressed in two dimensions. These are the magnitude and direction of the slope. Study of both the dimensions are equally important particularly in mountainous regions. Magnitude of slope not only helps in terracing genetic history of geomorphic units but also determines the land use pattern and developmental activities in the area. Similarly, slope direction determines the land use and erodibility of slope faces. Doon of Dehra is a very important geomorphic unit in terms of both natural and cultural point of view Dehradun, which is the capital city of Uttarakhand is also situated in this geomorphic unit. Topographical sheets published by the government of India are the database of study. Wentworth’s method of average slope has been used to calculate the magnitude of slope. The slope of this area varies from little more than 0° to 39.5°. Minute study of isopleths of slopes at the interval of 2° and 5° reveals that there are certain breaks of slope at the zone of 25° to 30°, 10° to 15°, 5° to 10°. Regional breaks of slopes are also observed in Nun, Sitla and Bin basins. Pattern of slope also changes rapidly at the extreme western portion of basin, near the mouth of Yamuna in the study area. These major changes of slopes may be related to thrust, faults and lineaments. In this basin, sunny, eastern-sunny and western-sunny slopes cover about 51.47% of the total mountainous region. These sunny slopes exhibit 92.2% of total cultivated land, 94.7% of total settlement and 28.7% of total forested area of this morpo-unit (mountainous region). More than 92% of total barren land is found on these sunny slopes. This may be attributed to the fact that these facets may have steep and unstable slopes due to more weathering of rocks by heating of the surface due to sun-rays.
