Published: December 2024

Background: Total hip replacement (THR) is a common surgery for relieving pain and improving the quality of life in patients with moderate to severe hip arthritis. The primary reason for THR is severe hip osteoarthritis, when conservative measures fail to relieve pain. The objective of the study was to examine functional outcomes, indications, and complications of THR using mHHS at different stages.Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out at the Department of Orthopedics, National Trauma Center, NAMS, from September 2019 to December 2020. The study included first 35 hips of 35 patients who underwent Total Hip Replacement at our hospital and met the inclusion criteria. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after the surgery. Each visit involved thorough clinical and radiological examinations, as well as documentation of the mHHS chart. All continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and two sample t test was used to compare means of two sub groups.Results: The study enrolled participants aged 26 to 66, with 60% male and 40% female. Right sided involvement was observed in 55% of cases, while the left side was affected in 45%. The most common reason for surgery was osteoarthritis caused by avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The average preoperative mHHS was 28, which increased to 64 at six weeks, 86 at three months, and 92 at six months. The study found that 80% of participants achieved excellent results. Complications, including a 2.85% dislocation rate, were reported.Conclusion: THR is a safe and effective procedure, providing excellent functional outcomes and minimal complications when performed carefully and precisely. Long-term studies are needed to investigate late complications and further establish the efficacy of the implants and the procedure.

Published: December 2024

Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis metode pelaporan keuangan Masjid Al-Husna dalam kaitannya dengan peraturan untuk nirlaba sebagaimana diuraikan dalam ISAK 35. Para peneliti dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Dokumentasi, wawancara, dan observasi langsung adalah beberapa metode yang digunakan untuk pengumpulan data. Laporan keuangan, termasuk laporan pendapatan dan arus kas, serta catatan tentang posisi akun keuangan dan laporan laba rugi komprehensif, diharuskan untuk disimpan oleh semua organisasi nirlaba menurut ISAK 35. Kontributor dan lainnya tetap waspada karena penanganan dana yang hati-hati. Hasil analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa praktik akuntansi Masjid Al-Husna masih ketinggalan zaman dan tidak memadai, dengan manajemen mengandalkan entri data manual pendapatan dan pengeluaran setiap minggu. Jemaah masih belum sepenuhnya diberi informasi oleh mekanisme akuntabilitas, yang hanya menyampaikan total pendapatan dan pengeluaran tanpa memberikan informasi spesifik apa pun. Namun, kelompok masjid yang terlibat telah berusaha semaksimal mungkin untuk merahasiakannya. Hal ini disebabkan karena pimpinan masjid masih belum memahami sistem pencatatan keuangan berbasis ISAK 35.

Cultural Colonalisation and the Philosophy of Ram Mohan Roy
Authors:   Professor, Department of Philosophy, Jahangirnagar university, Rayne Raihan
Published: December 2024

In Bangla region the process of European cultural
colonisation commenced in connection with the British
colonial rule. Raja Ram Mohun Roy believed that for the
native people the practice of European arts and science will
prepare them for their political as well as civil rights. For
this reason he became an upholder of this process of cultural
colonisation. At that time he tried to establish a
monotheistic universal religion. The basis of this religion
was philosophical monism. The aim of this essay is to
investigate the nature and impact of cultural colonisation on
his philosophical thought. In Tuhfat-ul Muwahhidin, we
observe Ram Mohun as a consistent rationalist, but later, in
the course of cultural colonisation, he changed his position.
Under the influence of British utilitarianism he began to
accept the social utility of the authority of Vedas. Besides as
he was overwhelmed with the modernist concept of
homogeneity, he rejected the variety of monotheistic
practices of Bengali local culture.
The Moving Spotlight Theory: The Debate between Sider and Deasy
Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Dhaka, Huda Kazi A S M Nurul
Published: December 2024

The discussion of time has held an important
place
philosophy since ancient times. While
characterizing time within this continuum, differences of
opinion among philosophers on various issues have
emerged, giving rise to various theories. One such theory is
the moving spotlight theory, which conceptualizes the
present as an instant of time akin to an object illuminated by
a
moving spotlight. Daniel Deasy highlights several
misunderstandings surrounding the discussion of the
moving spotlight theory. According to Deasy, one of the
philosophers who misunderstood the moving spotlight
theory is Theodore Sider. The main aim of this article is to
present the debate between Sider and Deasy and to express
my position in favor of Deasy. To achieve this goal, the
present article discusses Deasy‟s response to Sider‟s
position after explaining the moving spotlight theory from
Sider‟s perspective. Finally, the debate is critically assessed
to demonstrate why Deasy‟s position is more acceptable.
Digital Literacy Among Secondary School and Madrassa Students: A Perspective from Bangladesh
Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, University of Dhaka, Asaduzzaman A. S. M.
Published: December 2024

Digital media is popular among young users with the
rapid popularisation of smartphones and wider internet
accessibility, in line with the government’s aim of achieving the
envisioned ‘Digital Bangladesh’. Along with positive effects of
such media, many problems arise from their uninformed use,
causing confusion among users as to which information to trust
and how to differentiate truth from misinformation and
disinformation. By adopting a mixed-method design, the digital
literacy of sixth to ninth grade students (N=2400) of 16 schools
and 8 madrasahs located in eight divisions of Bangladesh was
examined. In the cross-sectional survey the students were
interviewed, while the FGDs of their parents and teachers were
conducted. Students’ access, use and competency, their ability to
analyse digital content, having a critical approach to digital media,
creativity in using digital media and their knowledge of ICT laws
were considered as key aspects to assess their digital literacy. Our
findings show that urban, high school and male students have a
greater degree of digital literacy than rural and semiurban,
madrasah and female students respectively. However, a
significant number of students were found to be vulnerable to fake
news, having no knowledge of the process of news production.
The Interconnection between the Gaudiya Vaishnavism of Bengal and Manipuri Culture
Authors:   Lecturer, Department of Dance, University of Dhaka, Rihab Warda , Jisan Ritu Sadia ,   Researcher and Manipuri Dancer
Published: December 2024

The research explores the cultural interconnection
between the Gaudiya Vaishnavism of Bengal and Manipuri
culture, highlighting the historical influences that have shaped
their relationship. It reveals that even before the introduction of
Gaudiya Vaishnavism in Manipur, cultural ties were established
through kirtana singers, which later deepened into religious
associations. The influence of Bengali culture is evident in
Manipuri language, literature, music and dance, enriching the
cultural landscape of Manipur. Notably, Rabindranath Tagore
played a crucial role in popularizing Manipuri dance and
extending its reach beyond geographical boundaries. The
integration of Manipuri weaving into the Bengali textile industry
further exemplifies the mutual links between the two
communities. The arrival of Manipuri people in Bangladesh has
fostered the thriving exchange, leading to the flourishing of
Manipuri language and literature under Bengali influence. This
dynamic interplay allows Manipuri artists in Bangladesh to
practice their cultural traditions while also embracing Bengali
culture, with Bangladeshi artists actively promoting Manipuri
dance. Despite the significant impact of Bengali culture, Manipuri
culture has maintained its unique identity, enriching Bengali
traditions with its diversity. Ultimately the ongoing cultural
exchanges between Bengali and Manipuri have resulted in a rich
culturar fusion. This paper presents in-depth analysis of these
interactions, emphasizing the evolving nature of cultural identity
and universal language of culture itself.

Developing A Software Package to Detect and Address the Autocorrelation Problem
Authors:   Faculty of Information Technology, Sebha University, Libya, Masaud Fatma Awidat Khalifa , Ali Aisha Otman ,   Faculty of Information Technology, Sebha University, Libya
Published: December 2024

Autocorrelation is a common challenge in regression analysis. It can lead to biased and inefficient parameter estimates, ultimately affecting the accuracy of the results. Many statistical software packages, such as SPSS and Minitab, include features for identifying Autocorrelation, such as the graphical method and the Durbin-Watson test. However, these methods have drawbacks. The graphical method relies on subjective interpretation, and SPSS lacks the necessary information to interpret the significance of the Durbin-Watson test results. Java-based software has been developed to address these limitations and tackle the problem of Autocorrelation in regression analysis. The software utilizes the Durbin-Watson method, providing a more precise alternative to graphical methods. It presents analysts with an intuitive interface. The software has been tested using accurate data, and the results validate its ability to detect and address positive Autocorrelation, consistent with previous findings on the Dataset.
This software enhances the dependability and precision of regression analysis in different domains. The software can be further enhanced by expanding its scope to include more complex regression models, adding other methods to address Autocorrelation, and improving the user interface for greater ease of use.
Keywords: Simple Liner regression, Autocorrelation, Durbin-Watson, Object-oriented programming.

Revisiting the Influence of Metal Impurities and Structural Defects on the Intrinsic Paramagnetism of Graphene Oxide (Go).
Authors: Fioravanti Dr.Giulia
Published: December 2024

GO-based materials have recently attracted substantial attention in the biomedical field as effective contrast agents (CAs) in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI). This study focuses on the importance of understanding the interplay between metal contaminants and structural defects on the paramagnetism of GO (Fig. 1).

Figure 1. (a) A simplified diagram of the GO structure, containing the different oxygenated groups (hydroxyl, epoxy, and carboxyl), defects (holes, dangling bonds), and metallic contaminants, and (b) MRI of GO water solutions: T1 and T2 coloured maps, adapted from [1].

A combination of techniques, including morphology analysis, chemical composition evaluation, elemental analysis, various spectroscopies, and imaging, was employed to verify and quantify the presence of trace metal impurities and structural defects within the nanomaterial. Notably, X-band Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and 1.0 T MRI measurements were utilized to confirm that the primary source of relaxivities in pristine GO nanosheets is structural defects, sometimes identified as dangling bonds. The results underscore the potential of GO as a versatile platform for developing advanced MRI contrast agents, paving the way for enhanced diagnostic capabilities in medical imaging and targeted therapies.
Enhancement of UC Quantum Yield by Combining Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance(LSPR)
Authors: Kamikawaji Ms.Ayaka , Sugawa Prof.Kosuke
Published: December 2024

The triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) phenomenon holds great potential for various applications, as it not only converts long-wavelength light into shorter wavelengths but can also be driven by low photon density light, such as sunlight. For practical implementation, achieving TTA-UC in a solid-state system with high stability is desirable. However, performance degradation is inevitable due to the loss of molecular diffusion in solid-state environments. To address this, a method utilizing exciton diffusion instead of molecular diffusion has been explored. This approach employs metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which prevent the molecular aggregation that would otherwise hinder exciton diffusion, while also allowing dense molecular accumulation, creating a structure that enables the development of high-performance systems.

However, during MOF synthesis, structural defects have been observed, leading to the trapping and deactivation of excitons nearby, which significantly reduces the fluorescence quantum yield. To mitigate this issue, we explored the use of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) with metal nanoparticles. The integration of metal nanoparticles with molecules is known to reduce fluorescence lifetime due to the enhancement of electric fields, a phenomenon known as the Purcell effect. This effect improves the fluorescence quantum yield of MOFs and could potentially result in high TTA-UC quantum yields even in solid-state systems.
Obstacle Mediated Reconnection of Straight Scrolls in an Excitable System
Authors: Mahanta Dhriti
Published: December 2024

Oscillatory chemical reactions are widely studied as laboratory models of wave propagation in complex biological systems, particularly the human heart where the presence of spiral and scroll waves can lead to cardiac arrhythmias [1]. Due to the complexity and cost of conducting in-vivo studies on cardiac waves, researchers often use models like the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction as prototypes. It has been established that the 3D waves formed in a BZ-medium, called scrolled waves, can have different shapes and dynamics depending on their filaments which are nothing but the one-dimensional curves around which they rotate [2]. Here, we report the interaction of two straight scrolls having I-shaped filaments in the presence of a spherical obstacle placed midway between them.

The study is based on experiments with the BZ-reaction and numerical simulations using the Barkley model. We show that in presence of an obstacle, two parallel waves rotating within a specific distance from each other feel an attraction around the obstacle, cross over, and finally form two new U-shaped filaments. It was confirmed that this is solely caused by the obstacle because otherwise the scrolls continue rotating around their individual filaments forever, unaffected by each other. We believe these results will help to gain better insights into the phenomenon of reconnection, which is important from both a fundamental and biomedical perspective.

Authors: Dwivedi Sneha , Singh Balwant , Kumar Singh Alok , Kumar Singh Vinay
Published: December 2024

Mushrooms, a species of fungi, are cultivated worldwide using agricultural waste as a substrate due to their high lignin and cellulose content. This sustainable practice not only repurposes agricultural waste for mushroom production but also converts residual substrate into compost post-harvest. The present study aimed to evaluate the production rate of Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushrooms) on two alternative substrates: Thespesia leaves mixed with wheat straw and Tectona leaves mixed with wheat straw, compared to wheat straw alone as a control. The substrates were inoculated with Pleurotus spawn and maintained in laboratory conditions at 23°C and 80% humidity for four weeks. Yield performance across three flushes was analyzed for each substrate. Wheat straw exhibited the highest yield during the first flush (520 g), followed by Tectona leaves with wheat straw (490 g) and Thespesia leaves with wheat straw (243 g). Similar trends were observed during the second flush, with yields of 466 g, 290 g, and 360 g, respectively. However, in the third flush, Thespesia leaves with wheat straw recorded the highest yield (390 g), outperforming the other substrates. The total yields showed wheat straw as the superior substrate (1145 g), followed by Thespesia leaves with wheat straw (993 g) and Tectona leaves with wheat straw (940 g). The findings suggest that while wheat straw remains the most effective substrate for oyster mushroom cultivation, incorporating Thespesia leaves may enhance total yield over multiple flushes, highlighting their potential as an alternative substrate for sustainable mushroom production.
Deep Learning Algorithms for Multimodal Interaction Using Speech and Motion Data in Virtual Reality Systems
Authors: Zubair Ahmed , Al Rashed Fatima
Published: December 2024

Multimodal interaction (MMI) represented by speech and motion data (SMD) has enormous potential in virtual reality (VR) systems. However, real-time synchronization, context-sensitive interpretation, and effective fusion of heterogeneous data modalities remain open. The study presents a deep learning-based framework that fuses speech and motion data to provide better performance in interaction. This study proposes a novel method called MMI-CNNRNN that combines a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that features extraction in speech with a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for temporal motion analysis, integrated into a Transformer-based architecture to enhance the contextual understanding and responsiveness of the system. In this regard, the performance of the proposed framework is evaluated using benchmark multimodal datasets such as the IEMOCAP dataset. These results represent a 20% increase in interaction accuracy and a 15% latency reduction compared to unimodal and early fusion methods. The fusion of CNN and RNN mechanisms translates into more natural and intuitive interactions, making both the assistive device and the VR environment more adaptive and user-friendly. Concluding from the findings of the proposed work, efficient multimodal system development supports better accessibility and engagement among users with various needs.

Authors: Martins Flávia Ripoli
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho objetivou discutir os entrelaçamentos entre o movimento feminista sufragista, a epidemia de histeria e o surgimento das teorias psicanalíticas sobre a mulher e a feminilidade. Para tal, foram analisadas as discussões das Atas da Sociedade Psicanalítica de Viena. Discutiu-se o atravessamento dos discursos patriarcais e das pautas feministas sobre as discussões dos primeiros psicanalistas e os efeitos da entrada das mulheres no círculo vienense do freudismo.
Small Town Branding for Tourism Purposes: Working with Cultural Values
Authors:   Ural Federal University Named after the First President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin, Tatyana Yu. Bystrova
Published: December 2024

The article specifies the territorial branding definition as an economic and socio-cultural practice. The author characterizes branding as an activity aimed at identifying the most significant characteristics of a particular site for a specific target audience, as well as distribution information about it through various communication channels. Thereafter, territorial branding is based on the ideas of the place uniqueness and identity, which are determined by natural and climatic features, culture, art, innovative and other technologies, directions of socio-economic development, living standart and other objective circumstances. Based on the history of the place and the people inhabiting it, territorial branding “reformats” the attitude of representatives of various target audiences to the place, influences the residents assessment and selfesteem, transmits information about uniqueness, performing many cultural tasks. This makes it the relevant tool for tourism projects. Based on the generalization of the genesis and existing approaches of territorial branding theorists and practitioners, the author shows its specificity in small Russian towns at the present stage and determines a number of indicators of the town state, when branding is more relevant than other social and communicative technologies. The branding integrative model presented in the text provides a more comprehensive vision of this technology.
It is rational to rely on the cultural branding ideas associated with the identification and shaping of the territory values that determine its uniqueness and identity, rather than constructing a brand using images or ideas brought in from the outside in the case of tourism development in a small town. In this regard, special attention in the article is paid to the position of J. Grant, who talks about the use of cultural ideas in building a «brand molecule». Visualization of the values of tourist brands of small towns in the Sverdlovsk region is illustrated by projects of UrFU students on design support for the branding of Bilimbay and Revda, completed in 2017-2024 (Master’s program «Graphic Design»).

Published: December 2024

Kekerasan masih sering terjadi, terutama terhadap perempuan. Hal ini menunjukkan betapa hak asasi perempuan masih belum sepenuhnya ditegakkan. Pemberantasan kekhawatiran perempuan adalah topik yang sering diangkat, menjadi sorotan, dan menginspirasi tekad bersama untuk menyelesaikannya. Namun, belum ada perbaikan berarti dalam administrasi peradilan antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Kekerasan berbasis gender, hak politik, dan hak kerja perempuan masih sering disalahgunakan. Jika hal ini tidak ditangani dengan serius, lingkungan yang tidak stabil akan berkembang, output manusia akan menurun, dan akan ada peningkatan yang signifikan dalam kemungkinan tingkat kematian yang tinggi.Artikel ilmiah ini mengkaji tentang perlindungan HAM terhadap kasus yang banyak terjadi pada perempuan, dengan tujuan agar menumbuhkan kesadaran masyarakat tentang maraknya kasus kekerasan terhadap perempuan serta pencegahannya agar kasus kekerasan tersebut tidak terus terulang.
