Revisiting Maxwell's Equations for Observers: Direct Derivation of Doppler and Sagnac Effect
Authors: Chen Qian
Published: August 2024

Maxwell's equations accurately describe the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves. However, the conventional formulation implies invariance to observers, posing challenges in explaining how the wave is perceived by different observers. For example, Doppler effect shows that observers perceive the same EM wave differently. By employing mathematical transformations, we derive a general form of Maxwell’s wave equations by incorporating a "time scaling" factor to account for observer perception. The original form is shown to be a special case when static. The Doppler effect and Sagnac effect are directly derived from Maxwell’s equations. All the results are consistent with established experiments. Our findings offer a fresh perspective, promising a deeper understanding and unification of EM phenomena. We extend Maxwell’s equations to describe not only the propagation of an EM wave, but also how it will be measured by different observers.

Authors: Shang Shuo , Jiang Haibing
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to reveal the temporal and spatial evolution characteristics and influencing factors of manufacturing innovation capacity in the Yangtze River Delta region, providing empirical references for formulating regional manufacturing innovation center layout policies. Using the number of patents granted in the manufacturing industry to represent manufacturing innovation capacity, exploratory spatial data analysis, the Modified Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, and panel data regression analysis are employed to analyze the temporal and spatial evolution characteristics of manufacturing innovation capacity at regional, provincial, prefectural, and county levels. The study explores the factors affecting the spatial differences in manufacturing innovation capacity and their strength. The spatial equity of manufacturing innovation capacity in the Yangtze River Delta region has improved, the gap in innovation capacity among various areas has narrowed, and the degree of spatial agglomeration in innovation capacity has decreased. High-value and high-growth areas of manufacturing innovation capacity exhibit hierarchical and central city adjacency distribution, with hotspots evolving from "single core" to "multi-core." Income levels play a prominent role in enhancing manufacturing innovation capacity. The scale of scientific and technological talents, the level of financial development, economic foundation, and informatization level significantly influence various industries. Therefore, each region should scientifically and rationally plan the configuration of manufacturing innovation centers based on location advantages and resource endowments. Establish a regional manufacturing innovation center system, create manufacturing innovation centers of different levels, build cross-regional innovation cooperation networks, and promote the construction of regional innovation communities.
Operationalizing accessibility in environmental sustainability efforts: Challenges, barriers, and opportunities
Authors: Bevan Alicia , Buettgen Alexis , Riemer Manuel , Spadafore Brittany , Scanlon Hillary , Whitney Stephanie
Published: August 2024

There is growing recognition of the need to move towards climate justice in response to the climate crisis; that is, ensuring mitigation and adaptation responses centre equity, and promote the inclusion of marginalized or otherwise ‘equity-deserving’ groups, including people with disabilities. Despite this recognition, there is little empirical research exploring the intersection of disability in sustainable developments, and even less addressing the practical challenges and opportunities to operationalize a sustainability-accessibility mindset within existing organizations. Drawing from a systems perspective and the human rights model of disability as well as an empirical case study, this paper explores practical challenges and considerations of integrating accessibility into environmental sustainability projects through a critical reflection of our own experiences implementing a tactile and visual information system for multi-stream waste disposal units in public spaces. This article presents an illustrative example of the challenges and barriers of bureaucracy, corporate structures, and the shift of mental models that need to be considered in the implementation of promoting the inclusion of visually impaired individuals. We argue for an intersectional approach to environmental sustainability that addresses these challenges and barriers, and that is compatible with the disability rights motto, “Nothing about us without us” and the need for inclusive design for collaborative impact.

Published: August 2024

The average heart rate at night is an important biomarker and environmental factors in the bedroom may affect the heart rate during sleep. There is limited research on the relationship between average heart rate during sleep and indoor environmental factors. Therefore, this paper presents an experiment designed to identify the environmental factors in the bedroom that affect variations in sleep average heart rate (SHR[1]). Measurements were conducted on three male participants in their usual sleeping environments over two periods: during two summers from July 5 to September 22, 2022; and from August 9 to September 30, 2023. The experimental conditions were kept constant during both periods. The field survey did not impose any specific conditions on participants. Heart rate and body movement were measured along with environmental factors, such as thermal environment, humidity, illuminance, and CO2 concentration. The results demonstrated that the thermal environment had the strongest linear correlation with SHR. In particular, room, radiant, and operative temperatures all showed a significant positive correlation. The average operative temperature and average heart rate over the entire experimental period for each participant showed a significant positive correlation with a coefficient of approximately 0.38. For the bed microclimate temperature was not a mediating variable for operative temperature. No confounding effects between SHR and body movement due to operative temperature were found. On the above, the multilevel structural equation model identified operative temperature and body movement as the variables that best explained SHR. Overall, a greater understanding of how environmental conditions affect sleep heart rate could enable the design of environments that promote a stable heart rate during sleep.

Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine trends and inequalities in interpersonal violence among adolescents.Methods: Three population-based birth cohorts were conducted, including all births in Pelotas city in a calendar year (1982, 1993, 2004), with over 4200 births in each cohort. Corporal punishment by parents and involvement in physical fights were assessed through self-reported confidential questionnaires when participants were 11, 15 and 18 years of age. The prevalence of violence outcomes was estimated, stratifying by sex and family income group for each cohort, and income-related inequalities were assessed through time.Results: We found significant reductions in corporal punishment by parents between cohorts, both at ages 11 (PR:0.83) and 15 years (PR:0.70). There were also reductions in income-related inequalities in corporal punishment, mainly for boys. Considering physical fights, while there was a reduction in prevalence at age 18 years for girls (PR:0.50), there was an increase for boys at age 11 years (PR:1.22). There was no change in the prevalence of fighting at age 15 for either sex. Income-related inequalities reduced regarding involvement in fights at age 18 for girls, but they remained significant at earlier ages - with a higher prevalence of fights among the poorest adolescent girls in comparison to the richest. Conclusions: Despite encouraging declines in corporal punishment over the past two decades, trends in physical fights are of concern, particularly for boys. Continued monitoring is vital to support effective violence prevention policies.
Echo Chambers: Social Media and Propagation of GBV Attitudes in Malawi
Authors: Tung'ande Ahmidu
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the discourse surrounding gender-based violence (GBV) on Malawian Facebook pages, triggered by a widely shared story of domestic violence. Through qualitative analysis of user reactions to the story, the research uncovers a disturbing trend of support for violent actions against women and highlights the role of social media as both a platform for reinforcing harmful gender norms and a potential tool for positive change. While a significant portion of comments endorsed extreme violence, a minority offered alternative, non-violent responses, suggesting opportunities for promoting gender equality. The study reveals critical insights into how online spaces influence attitudes towards GBV in Malawi, underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions, and suggests leveraging positive online influencers to foster a culture of respect and non-violence.

The Elzaki transform with residual power series method is an efficient and reliable approach for solution of linear and non-linear fractional order differential equations. The major purpose of current work is to find the solution of time-fractional reaction diffusion equation by Elzaki transform with residual power series method. Elzaki transform is applied on this equation and then inverse Elzaki is taken on same equation for finding the expression of series solution. Then, assumed approximate solution is substituted on considered equation and unidentified coefficient functions are obtained by using residual function is equal to zero as well as combining its initial circumstances. At last, coefficient functions are substituted in power series form for finding finite approximate analytical solutions. The comparison between exact solution and approximate analytic solutions with different number of terms of this equation are determined and observed for reliability. This method reduces the size of computational works of solution of fractional order reaction diffusion equation. This article is anonymously gives the idea of education in Mathematics in higher studies. The nineteenth-century development of fractional derivatives and integrals, however, began with this paper, which introduced them independently. Among the scientific and engineering domains where fractional calculus is widely utilised are chemistry, physics, economics, biology, and finance. Fifteen years on, fractional calculus has gained popularity because of its proven applicability in many scientific and technical sectors.

Authors: Bhattarai Achyutananda
Published: August 2024

This paper attempts to explore intercultural communication in law through the legal translation of Muluki Ain of 1854 into English by applying Peter Newmark’s communicative translation approach. It tries to bridge the intercultural communication gap that exists between the source language (SL) and the target language (TL) readers. Communicating legal and cultural aspects of pre-modern Nepali life to the target reader is the primary objective of this research. It collects primary data from the SL book Muluki Ain of 1854 focusing on Hindu cultural provisions of Nepali native law. The data are presented, analyzed, and interpreted from the cultural aspects of the law of pre-modern Nepal. This research finds that the translating law of pre-modern Nepal contributes to communicating the Nepali indigenous legal system that was based on Hindu religious legal principles. The significance of this study is more to the comparative lawyers, legal translators, students of translation studies, and interested readers in translation. This research concludes that the translation of the Muluki Ain of 1854 has communicated the legal culture of pre-modern Nepal all over the world.
Hegemonic Masculinity in Ghamad Shere (Persistent Shere) Directed by Hem Raj BC
Authors: Bista Asmita
Published: August 2024

Nepali film Ghamad Shere promotes hegemonic masculinity by presenting the central character as a struggling person, who overcomes every problem by ascertaining his masculinity. In Ghamad Shere, the central character, Sher Bahadur, appears as bold, aggressive, and industrious man. In the film, including Sher Bahadur, while exhibiting the so-called masculine power, the male characters involve in the competition to outsmart each other.  Thus, the paper aims to investigate how the practice of hegemonic masculinity has affected the life of males in Chhinchu village. It analyzes the problems the characters go through in their life caused by the imposition of conventional masculine roles and identities. This paper also assesses the reasons that force the males to perform the stereotyped gender roles. To analyze the film, R.W. Connell’s and Michael Kimmel’s idea of masculinity theory has been used as an approach. Kimmel and Connell argue that since the traditional gender roles are constructed, masculinity is a constructed entity that is achieved through constant performance. Revealing the gender practices in Chhinchu village, Ghamad Shere unfolds problems such as to leave the village for foreign country in search of employment, being cheated by their wives and the like, faced by the males of this village. The paper concludes that constrained to the normative gender roles, the males of this village keep their hegemonic masculinity intact.  The article further concludes that the male characters of this film encircle them to hegemonic masculinity because being part of that society, one hardly can escape from the socially enforced gender roles.
Reflection of Nepali Modernity in Devkota’s Poetry
Authors: Timalsina Ramji
Published: August 2024

This article reviews the researches and critical writings on Devkota’s trend of creation especially in poetry; and it argues that his writings address the two stages of Nepali modernity: pre-modern and modern. Nepali modernity is the result of the growing social consciousness in the mid-twentieth century. It was observed in politics, national economy and cultural thought and products at the same time. Nepali literature of the mid-twentieth century both represents and inspires the development in all three aspects of national life. Devkota composed most of his poems in the same period and led both the depiction of and guidance to the then growing consciousness. In the decades of the 1930s and 1940s, his poetic compositions displayed the mixture of romanticism and social transformation; whereas his creations of the 1950s reflect the modern consciousness of the society along with the poet’s dissatisfaction with the so-called democratic society that could not address the people’s aspirations for human rights, justice and equity. As a result, Devkota’s poems are filled with Nepali modernist consciousness. It is hoped that this article can give a way out for the looming confusion in the study of Devkota’s creations in terms of their modernist sensibility.

“True Canadian”: Advertising Canadian Branded Products in the Early American Press, 1760–1810
Authors: Bayer Jonathan
Published: August 2024

When products were marketed as “Canadian” in the early American press, it meant more than simply “Made in Canada.” The author argues that “Canadian” served as a brand in early American advertising to denote the robust and hardy qualities of the product. Like Canada and its inhabitants, both of which were portrayed as rugged and raw, products labelled “Canadian” were marketed as similarly sturdy and tough, even if those products had not actually originated in Canada. As far as early American advertisers were concerned, “Canadian” products were unique, and it was beneficial to advertise that fact.

Authors: Sasaki Naoki , Lee Sanchan
Published: August 2024

Conferencing system-assisted online classes have been conducted worldwide since the COVID-19 pandemic, and the use of three-dimensional glasses may improve pre-clinical veterinary education. However, students’ satisfaction with this technique rather than their ability to perform surgery using these items has not been assessed. This study could potentially assess students’ satisfaction with technique/instruction rather than their ability to perform surgery using these items.This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of remote online hands-on training in veterinary education using 3D glasses. Sixty students enrolled at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicineat Yamaguchi University voluntarily participated and were randomly divided into a 3D glasses and tablet group, each with 30 students. Each student completed one orthopedic and one ophthalmological task. The orthopedic task was performing surgery on a limb model, whereas the ophthalmological task involved incising a cornea on an eye model. The 3D glasses group participated in the ophthalmology task, then the orthopedic task, at a separate venue from the instructor. The tablet group participated in the same tasks using a tablet. In the student questionnaire, orthopedic screw fixation showed significantly higher levels of satisfaction in the 3D glasses group than in the tablet group, indicating a preference for this method. By contrast, for ophthalmic corneal suturing, the tablet group showed a significantly higher level of satisfaction than the 3D glasses group. Our findings showed that 3D glasses have a high educational value in practical training requiring depth and angle information.

Authors: Protić - Gava Branka
Published: August 2024

Postural disorders occur not just among school children but also among preschoolers, the
fact which coincides with critical periods of growth and development that are characteristic for
the occurrence of the mentioned disorders. They can be located on all the segments along the spinal column, torso and lower limbs. Good body posture is of great importance for healthy growing
of the youngest while poor postural status harmfully influences locomotor system, circulation, as
well as respiratory and digestive system. Inadequate position while sitting, standing and walking
(as the result of muscular disbalance) causes pain in cervical, thoracic and lumbar part of the spinal column, which later influences the overall quality of life. Surveys and numerous researches of
the locomotor system are all aimed at finding the most adequate system of preventive and corrective activities with an emphasis on timely diagnostic of changes.

Importance of physical education and its placment in the educational system are known for a
long period of time. Many resreaches have been conducted in order to determine the extent to
which physical education positively influences students. Results of some studies show that
physical education classes are unsatisfactory and inappropriate, given the circumstances- age
and individual skills of students, their needs and interests (Arunovic, 1978; Visnjic, 1983;
Krsmanovic, 1988, 1995). Main reasons for ineficinet physical education classes can be found
in the bad concept of modelling teaching syllabuses and small number of physical education
classes per week (Krsmanovic, 1995). The aim of the study is determining differences
between examinees in terms of motor skills, depending on material and technical conditions
as well as method of class organisation that is realization of the curriculum. The participants
in the study were 142 adolescents, 17 years of age (± 6 months ). In order to assess motor
skills 12 motor tests were used. Data processing was done by applying multivariate analysis
of covariance (MANCOVA), significance of difference was determined by analysis of
variance (ANOVA), while differences among examinees of the experimental and the control
group were determined by discriminant analysis. After the experimental treatment, it was
determined that there was statistically significant difference between the experimental and the
control group within the motor skills system.

The aim of this study is to examine differences in stress coping between handball players of
different competitive experience. The sample consists of 127 handball players from 10 clubs
in Serbia, 83 of whom are males and 44 are females. All participants are divided in three
groups, which are formed according to their competitive experience: up to 5 years (n = 42),
up to 10 years (n = 58), over 10 years (n = 26), with an assumption that there are no
significant differences between male and female handball players (p = .909). General SelfEfficacy Scale (SGSE; Schwarzer, & Jerusalem, 1981) is applied. The findings indicate that
there are significant differences in stress coping between handball players with different
levels of competitive experience (p = .021); the longer the competitive experience, the more
efficient stress coping is. As regards the findings of previous studies and the specificity of
handball, this paper provides possible explanation of obtained results and their
implementation in everyday activities of athletes and coaches.

(Inter)subjetificação no processo de construcionalização de [por conta de(x)]causal na Língua Portuguesa:
Authors: Coelho Sueli Maria , Lima e Silva Luís Filipe
Published: August 2024

A partir da observação de 437 dados representativos de oito séculos de Língua Portuguesa (séc. XIII ao séc. XX), coletados no Corpus do Português (Davies; Ferreira, 2006), investigou-se o processo de mudança linguística que originou a construção causal [por conta de(X)] no português. O estudo adotou uma perspectiva de análise que considera a natureza intersubjetiva da língua(gem) (Traugott, 2010; 2014). A investigação empreendida revelou que a propriedade de estabelecer uma relação de causa entre dois termos, que configura uma função gramatical desse pareamento forma-sentido, emerge na língua no séc. XVI, a partir de um processo de abstração semântica que aflora no século anterior. Até esse período, empregava-se a construção [por conta de(X)] apenas em seu sentido concreto, para marcar relações ligadas ao universo da economia. No século XV, registra-se uma expansão semântica que, mediante um mecanismo de subjetificação, estende os sentidos da construção para o campo das relações sociais. Os sentidos já subjetificados passam, no século seguinte, a codificar sentidos centrados no interlocutor, o que configura a intersubjetificação, responsável pela sagração da mudança linguística.
