Factors that Influenced the Preservation of the Traditional Costume at Villa Badessa and its Loss in Piqeras: The Traditional Costume as a Memory and as an Object
Authors: Nini Silvana , Duraj Hoxha Rudina
Published: January 2025

The Villa Badessa costume is an integral component of the diverse mosaic of traditional dress worn by the Arbëresh community. This dress is distinctive due to its resemblance to the two-apron type seen in Albania, as well as its notable divergence from other Arbëresh community costumes. The resemblance of their traditional costumes to those of Southern Albania stems from the fact that they originated from the village of Piqeras during the mid-18th century, a period when folk costumes in Arbëresh communities and Albania had developed distinct characteristics, shaped by two different, historical, geographical, and cultural trajectories. In contrast to other Arbëresh communities in southern Italy, the residents of Villa Badessa have managed to maintain the tradition of the men’s costume. Costumes serve as nonverbal means of communication, functioning as codes that uniquely convey individual identities. Costumes can surpass other significant elements, including language and customs, in representing a community’s ethnic identity because of several factors. Even when a costume is no longer in use and is nearing the point of being completely forgotten, these factors act as reactivation mechanisms that draw attention to it visually and physically. This example is illustrated by Villa Badessa, a case in point. In cases where ethnic identity is not under threat, such as in the homeland, traditional clothing adapts due to historical, social, and economic factors, frequently resulting in its eventual disappearance from memory. Over time, the unique features of the costume lose their distinctiveness, weakening its core identity and diminishing its significance in preserving local customs and cultural heritage.

From Static to Dynamic: A Framework for Agile and Innovation-Focused Strategy Map
Authors: - Karthik Hosavaranchi Puttaraju
Published: January 2025

Traditional strategy maps, while effective for operational alignment, often fall short in addressing innovation and creativity in today's rapidly evolving business landscape. This paper introduces a novel framework for Dynamic Innovation-Focused Strategy Maps (DIFSM) that bridges this gap by integrating innovation pipelines directly into the strategy mapping process. By leveraging real-time data processing, predictive modeling, and, where appropriate, artificial intelligence, the DIFSM framework enables organizations to balance long-term innovation goals with short-term execution needs in a highly responsive manner. This approach transforms static strategy maps into dynamic tools that not only align operational activities but also foster and manage innovation systematically in the context of fast-paced market changes.
The Impact of Parenting a Child with Special Needs on Sibling Relationships
Authors: - Dr. Bushra Sumra , - Ali Sukeina Hussein
Published: January 2025

Parenting a child with special needs is a unique experience that significantly impacts the entire family, particularly siblings. These relationships encompass a spectrum of emotions and responsibilities, ranging from deep empathy and pride to feelings of neglect or frustration. Understanding how these dynamics evolve can offer valuable insights for fostering healthier family systems.
Sibling relationships in families with a child who has special needs can vary widely, influenced by factors such as the type of disability, the family’s coping strategies, and external support systems. This paper examines both the positive and negative impacts of these dynamics, supported by empirical evidence, and offers practical strategies for nurturing strong sibling bonds.

Composite catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene were synthe-sized based on zirconium, magnesium and aluminum oxide. Under the reaction conditions of WHSV=0.5h-1, EB : air = 1:6 or EB : CO2 = 1:5, 480oC, in the presence of O2, the conversion of EB and selectivity of St on 1%ZrO2,2.0%MgO/Al2O3 +5% P2O5 catalyst reaches 62 and 90%, and in the presence of CO2, these indicators reach 54 and 94%, respectively. The inclusion of copper in the synthesized catalysts increases their activity and selectivity. The conversion of EB in the pres-ence of CO2 over 1%ZrO2,2.0%MgO/Al2O3+5%P2O5+1% CuO under reaction conditions of WHSV =1h-1, GHSV =500h-1, 500oC is 62% and St selectivity is 96%. The inclusion of copper in the composition of the synthesized catalysts allows the conjugation of the dehydrogenation of EB to St with the steam conversion of carbon monoxide. The conjugation of these reactions in-creases the conversion of EB to St. In this case, under the reaction conditions of 500oC, WHSV=0.5h-1, GSHV = 500h-1, the conversion of EB is 65%, the St selectivity is 92 % on 1.0%ZrO2,2.0%MgO/Al2O3+5%P2O5+1%CuO catalyst. It was determined that the conjugation of the dehydrogenation of EB to St with the steam conversion of carbon monoxide allows to create a simultaneous and environmentally harmless process of obtaining styrene and hydrogen.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this work: to obtain latex on the basis of ethylene-propylene rubber and to deter-mine the rubber-cord connection or rather its adhesion on the basis of it.
For the first time, EPR+PMMA latex was obtained by modifying it with methacrylic acid in order to obtain latex based on EPR.
As a result of the experiment, the kinetics of the modification process was studied. It has been shown that when modifying EPR with MAA, the amount of acid should be 5 mass parts, and the co-polymerization process should be carried out for 5 hours and at a temperature of 90o. An adhe-sive bond with high physic-mechanical properties can be obtained by using a specially formulated absorbent compound to enhance the rubber-cord bond. It was determined that the adhesion rela-tionship also depends on the thickness of the absorbent composition. As the density of the im-pregnating composition increases, the wetting of the textile fibers with the composition decreases and the contact strength with the rubber decreases significantly.
It was determined that the viscosity of the absorbent composition should be 5-8%. However, the density of EPR+PMMA co-polymer in the used latex should not be lower than 10%. Only in this case, the cord threads can be thoroughly soaked in the absorbent composition.
Keywords: methacrylate acid, poly methacrylate, latex, modification, adhesion, absorbent com-pound, ethylene-propylene rubber.

Этерификация глицерина проводилась бензиловым спиртом в присутствии гетерогенных кислотных катализаторов. Во всех случаях наблюдается самопроизвольная этерификация бензилового спирта. При проведении реакции на катализаторах HZSM-5-цеолите и ката-лизатора крекинга Омникат-210П в качестве основного продукта получают эфир бензилг-лицерина с высоким выходом.
Проведенные исследования в области этерификации глицерина позволяют предложить твердые кислотные катализаторы, отличающиеся своими кислотными свойствами. В част-ности, катализатор HZSM-5 отличается высокой активностью при этерификации глицери-на бензиловым спиртом. Выхода по целевым продуктам составило: 55,2% по монобен-зилглицериновому эфиру, 3,5% по дибензилглицериновому эфиру. Выход по дибензило-вому эфиру составил 31,2% и 38,3% соответственно.
Несмотря на относительно высокую кислотность катализатора HZSM-5, преобладание кислотных центров определенной силы способствует повышению выхода монобензилг-лицеринового эфира. Практическая неактивность γ-Al2O3 в этой реакции, по всей вероят-ности, связано с его минимальной кислотностью.

Определен индекс фото-чувствительности сополимера (Ψ=50 см2/С). Установлено, что высокая термостойкость и высокие физико-механические свойства сополимеров обусловлены взаимодействием функциональных групп макромолекул и с увеличением количества глицидилметакрилат-ных звенев в составе сополимера увеличивается адгезионная способность сополимера и в зависимости от состава адгезионная прочность сополимера меняется в интервале 9-13 МПа. В результате исследований подтверждено, что образцы сополимера деформируется без образования трещин при сжатии при температуре ~30-40°С. Полученный сополимер обладает большей гибкостью, ударной вязкостью и способностью к деформации, чем по-листирол. Поскольку сополимер, полученный на основе глицидилметакрилата с α-метилстиролом, чувствителен к свету и потоку электронов, то его можно использовать в качестве негативного резиста в микроэлектронике, литографии и т.д.

In this work, the physicochemical properties of Chobandag shale were studied and its thermal cracking was carried out. Fisher's analysis showed that the shale contained 23% organic matter, 21.94% kerogen, and 3.31% sulfur content. The density of shale is 2.31 g/cm3. The IR spectrum of shale showed a significant number of aromatic rings, the presence of side chains, and carbonyl-carboxyl groups. The shale was subjected to thermal cracking, where the temperature varied from 500 to 650°C. The content of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) was 11.9%.
We passed the gas over a catalyst prepared using German technology and obtained 76.2% of thio-phene and 7.5% of its homologues. The yield of liquid products was 18.4%. We propose to use light resin (up to 200 °C) to isolate thiophene-aromatic concentrate, and heavy resin to obtain oxi-dized road bitumen.

Bu üsulda kraun-efirlərdən istifadə olunması prosesin çox aşağı temperaturda və yumşaq şəraitdə aparıl-masına imkan yaradır. Bu isə öz növbəsində müxtəlif tullantıların və zəhərli məhsulların alınmasının qarşısını alır.
Apadığımız tədqiqatda prosesin optimal şəraitini müəyyənləşdirmək, əlavə məhsulun əmələ gəlməsinin səbəbini araşdırmaq və məhsulun cıxımını artırmaq məqsədi ilə 1,2- dihalogennonanın dehidrogalogenləşmə reaksiyasının qanunauyğunluqları öyrənilmişdir.

Müəyyən olunmuşdur ki, KOH-ın qatılığının 25 mmoldan 50 mmola qədər artırılması nonin-1-in çıxımını artırır, lakin sonrakı mərhələdə qatılığın artması nonin-1-in nonadien-1,2-yə izomerləşməsinə səbəb olur.
Həmcinin DB18K6-nın qatılığı artdıqca nonin-1-in çıxımı artır. Bu, onu göstərir ki, həqiqətən dehidrohalogenləşmə prosesi üzvi fazada gedir və qələvinin üzvi fazaya ötürülməsi bu prosesdə əsas faktordur.

Thermal-hydrodynamic analysis for internally finned tubes: Experimental, numerical and performance evaluation study
Authors:   Department of Mechanical Power Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Menoufia University, Shebin El-Kom, 32511, Egypt, Salem O.
Published: January 2025

The characteristics of heat transfer and fluid flow of an internally continuously finned tube were studied, experimentally and numerically, and a performance evaluation study was conducted. The numerical results were validated with the current experimental data as well as other published data, with a maximum deviation of 4.65%. The effect of different key parameters like fin height, number of fins, and fin thickness on the thermal-hydrodynamic performance was studied. The study reveals that increasing both fin height, which is the most effective parameter, and number of fins raises the heat transfer coefficient and friction factor values, but fin thickness negligibly affects the performance. Notably, the average heat transfer coefficient and friction factor values rise by 40.92 % and 18.4 %, respectively, if the fin height to diameter ratio is increased from 0.1786 to 0.4018, and by 35.4 % and 13.5 %, respectively, if the number of fins is increased from 2 to 6, compared to smooth tubes under a mass flow rate of 0.3 kg/s. Furthermore, the thermal enhancement factor, which is the ratio between the heat transfer coefficient and friction factor for the enhanced tube as opposed to the smooth one, increases by 33.27%, 48.64%, and 8.71% if the fin height, number of fins, and fin thickness increase by 125%, 300%, and 200%, respectively, under constant mass flow rate condition. While the thermal enhancement factor decreases by 22.89%, 74.53%, and 7.92% if the fin height, number of fins, and fin thickness increase by 125%, 300%, and 200%, respectively, under constant pressure drop condition. In the case of constant pumping power condition, the thermal enhancement factor hovers around unity for fin height and thickness, and it decreases by 23.89% if the number of fins increases by 300%.
Transformation of Maslahah Principles in E-Commerce in Al - Ghazali's View
Authors: Daredmi Salsabilla , Rozalinda  , Zulvianti Nora
Published: January 2025

This study explores the application of the principle of maslahah as formulated by Al-Ghazali in the context of e-commerce in Indonesia, particularly regarding Sharia-compliant online loans (pinjol) that grew significantly during 2022-2023. The study analyzes this phenomenon through the lens of maslahah, focusing on the protection of wealth (hifz al-mal) and honor (hifz al-‘ird). The results indicate that although Sharia-compliant fintech provides broader financial access, unethical practices such as high returns (0.1% per day or 36% annually) and aggressive debt collection methods contradict consumer protection principles. A lack of transparency in contracts and data breaches further threaten core maslahah values. The study recommends stricter regulations from the OJK and DSN-MUI and improving Sharia financial literacy to ensure a balance between technological innovation, Sharia compliance, and consumer protection. In conclusion, Al-Ghazali's maslahah principles remain relevant and must be adapted to address e-commerce challenges in the digital era.

Published: January 2025

Studying social commerce and consumer behavior in Indonesia is crucial due to the country's rapid digital transformation and unique cultural landscape. This study aims to investigate the effects of social commerce on consumer trust and buying intentions in Indonesia’s local food sector. This study uses a quantitative approach through hypothesis testing. Data was collected using questionnaires and purposive sampling techniques. A survey of 240 respondents was conducted, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicated that social commerce significantly influences trust in sellers and buying intention, while social support was not significantly affected. Social support and trust significantly influence purchase intention. However, the effect of social commerce on social support and trust in sellers through social presence moderation is not proven. This study highlights the role of social commerce in building consumer trust, though its effects on social support remain inconclusive. This research is interesting for developing social commerce to attract buyers' interest in local Indonesian food

Published: January 2025

The Physical layer (PHY) is implemented with the new Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) scheme to increase the throughput of wireless systems in the present communication era. The GFDM system is combined with Multi-Input and Multi Output antenna system (MIMO GFDM) to achieve higher channel capacity and low out-of-coverage probability. Therefore, the MIMO-GFDM system is suffering from internal Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI) and external Inter-Symbol-Interference (ISI) at the receiver. This makes the receiver design more complex and challenging. Therefore, to cancel the symbol interference in the MIMO-GFDM system, we have proposed a Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) based Zero-Forcing detection scheme for future wireless communications. To decouple unwanted symbols from the transmitted signal, we employed the precoding technique at the transmitter section and the weighted beam forming technique at the receiver section. Furthermore, a famous Water Filling Algorithm (WFA). The proposed scheme reduces the bit error rate to 1.98×10⁻⁴ at 10 dB, outperforming existing detection methods. The WFA improves power allocation efficiency, enhancing channel capacity by up to 3.74 bps/Hz/u in 4x4 MIMO setups.

This paper presents the performance comparison of various nonlinear elements in frequency multiplying circuits for low power wireless applications. An analysis and design are derived. Passive frequency multipliers take advantage of the nonlinear behavior of passive circuit components. Passive frequency multipliers take advantage of the nonlinearity of passive circuit components. In this category, Schottky diodes and varactor diodes are used for frequency multiplication. We analyzed passive devices like resistive diodes (Schottky-barrier diodes) and nonlinear capacitors (varactors). The performance between frequency doubling System using Schottky diode and frequency doubling System using varactor diode is compared. Performance was evaluated in terms of output Voltage (mV), output frequency (MHz) and Output power (dBm). Frequency doubling System using Schottky diode is fast switching and more output voltage and power provides to the load side as compare to frequency doubling System using varactor diode. Input power -4.66 dBm given to frequency doubler using Schottky diode as well as varactor diode system. Output power -13.932 dBm for frequency doubling System using Schottky diode and -28.545 dBm for frequency doubling System using varactor diode is observed. We can use passive frequency doubler using Schottky diode for low power sensing application in wireless communication.

Authors: Dinesh Sruthi , Chandroth Aanandan
Published: January 2025

A directional pattern reconfigurable array with high gain is proposed in this paper in which each antenna element is an array of driven and parasitic arc dipoles. The elements can be selectively excited using RF switches and power dividers to produce high gain patterns in desired single or multiple directions. By providing optimum spacing to array elements via stacking, gain can be further improved by exciting multiple elements simultaneously. The array resonates at 5.8 GHz, which is an ISM frequency. The directivity and realized gain of the unit element are 12 dB and 10.2 dB respectively. We hereby present a configuration of stacked antennas suitably arranged on a mast, which can find application as a base station antenna for next-generation wireless communication systems to switch patterns having directivity 14.3 dB and realized gain 12.1 dB in multiple directions with a reasonable bandwidth of 500 MHz and efficiency of 70%.

Terahertz (THz) transmission is a promising strategy for future 6G networks, offering ultra-wide bandwidth. Effective channel modeling and precoding techniques are essential for achieving required coverage and addressing significant path loss in THz communications. In this paper, we comprehensively examine the major THz precoding algorithms for future 6G networks, focusing on their significant challenges and prospects. We discriminate between millimeter-wave and THz channels and uncover issues with THz precoding, such as distance-dependent direction loss, beam split impact, and excessive power usage. To solve these issues, three distinct THz precoding systems, such as hybrid precoding, analog beamforming, and delay-phase precoding, are introduced and their performance is compared.

Published: January 2025

The performance of an off-grid solar Photovoltaic (PV) system with Battery Energy Storage (BES) depends on the system's location. Incorporating climatic variables such as solar irradiance, ambient and cell temperatures into the modelling of PV systems helps predict the system's appropriate behaviour. The paper discusses the impact of variations in seasonal irradiance, temperature, and system location on the optimum sizing of a standalone solar PV-BES system for minimum total annual cost using Improved Particle Swarm Optimization. Three locations: Pune (Maharashtra), Ladakh (Jammu and Kashmir), India, and Rafsanjan (Iran) with extreme weather conditions (winter and summer) are identified to analyze the effect for optimum sizing of PV-battery energy systems. In addition, the optimum system sizing is analyzed for lead acid and lithium-ion batteries for both seasons. The results indicate that the system's size and cost are significantly affected due to changes in location, temperature, and seasonal irradiance. Assuming the same load demand in both seasons, the number of lithium-ion batteries required is less than that of lead acid batteries, proving their cost-effectiveness. The study gives a comprehensive techno-economic analysis of the PV-BES system considering climatic variations at three locations for two battery chemistries.

Many have long aimed to create a safe electronic voting system that maintains the confidentiality and integrity of traditional voting methods while using the convenience and openness of modern technology. Ballot paper or electronic voting machines are the current voting schemes in every nation, and democratic voting is a significant event in every country. Problems with these procedures abound, including lack of openness, poor voter turnout, vote manipulation, mistrust of the election body, forgery of unique identification (voter ID card), delays in disseminating results, and, most importantly, security breaches. Prioritizing the security of digital voting is of utmost importance when contemplating implementing a digital voting system. The article assesses the objective of building a blockchain-based e-voting system [BC-E-VOT] that uses digital voting technology. Electronic voting methods that leverage the distributed ledger attract much attention because they can make digital voting more transparent, secure, and honest. As shown in this research, a successful strategy for electronic voting may be achieved by using Blockchain's cryptographic underpinnings and transparency. Due to its complete transparency, the suggested approach satisfies the essential criteria for electronic voting systems. Since Blockchain employs a decentralized mechanism for data storage rather than storing all of the data in one central place, it becomes challenging to tamper with the data when utilizing this technology to build a decentralized application. By creating a decentralized system using the WSN platform, a third party is no longer needed to oversee the election's access control. This article provides a system for electronic voting that guarantees privacy, trustworthiness, and security. The suggested approach is practical and secure, according to the findings.
