The Aberration of Starlight and/in Postmodernist Fiction
Authors: Klahn Bernd
Published: April 2023

Gilbert Sorrentino's novel, ‘Aberration of Starlight’, alludes to an experiment by James Bradley (1728) proving that the speed of light is enormously high, but limited. His technique consisted of a measurement of the angle, under which a given star could be observed. His experiments proved a tight connection between the direction of the Earth's movement and the angle of observation, resulting in a special angle of aberration of starlight; thus he could give a quantitative value for the velocity of light, taken from astronomical observations of a star, without employing any further technical device. Bradley's main idea consisted in the concept that an unknown speed might be measured by comparing it to the velocity of the observer, who has to fix his observations on one distant object. This idea may be traced in Sorrentino's novel, where he applies Bradley's concept to the description of 'moving subjects' whose only chance to register the developmental speed of another subject is to compare it – in a given coercive situation – to one's own rate of change. Analogous to Bradley's geometrical technique, Sorrentino applies methods of 'narrative triangulation', leading to a complex but systematically structured pattern of subjective interactions. Regarding this (rather technological) background, Sorrentino's novel is a neological fictional achievement, offering tightly knit correlations between the worldmaking of modern natural sciences and the narrative modes of (post)modern self- and world-composition.
Dating the Five Suns of Aztec Cosmology
Authors: Lebeuf Arnold
Published: April 2023

The present paper shows that the Mesoamerican astronomers were indeed able to calculate the positions and periods of the Nodes of Moon orbit and based their cosmology according to eclipse possibilities and impossibilities during their successive world eras. Here mythology and imperial ideology proves to be firmly constructed on scientific observations and conclusions. It is broadly accepted that the ‘Suns’, or eras of Aztec cosmology, began and ended on the days of their respective names in the years 2-Acatl, the years of the great New Fire Ceremonies returning every 52 years. It has also been claimed that eclipses accompanied these repeated cataclysms marking the end of the successive Suns. Although no such statement appear in Aztec sources, different information may lead to the conclusion supported by Susan Milbrath that the Aztecs feared the end of their world would come with a solar eclipse on a day 4- Ollin, the day name of the fifth Sun of Aztec mythology. The proposition is even more acceptable if we consider that such similar beliefs are documented in other Mesoamerican traditions, for example among the Mayas. If the solution proposed here for the names and order of the five Suns of Aztec cosmology can be accepted, it would prove that the Aztecs based their astronomical and calendrical calculations on the same bases as the other cultures of Ancient Mesoamerica and that the location and periods of the Nodes of Moon orbit were essential to these constructions. It also suggests that an astronomical abstraction was at the centre of their religious ideology. This very schematical presentation of a new hypothesis concerning the names and order of Aztec eras is just tempting, as I am fully aware of the many odd hypotheses previously presented. I hope this new one deserves at least a careful examination, discussion and critics for further development or eventual rejection.
Trailing the Paper Moon: Astronomical Interpretations of Exodus 12:1-2
Authors: Lobel Andrea D.
Published: April 2023

This poster presentation will trace the historical interpretive arc inspired by Exodus 12:1-2 and its commandment to observe the new moon and keep a calendar. An examination of religious sensibilities as filtered through the prism of these two Bible verses, this presentation will outline manifold interpretations found in Jewish and early Christian literature from the Biblical era through medieval times. The literary sources to be examined will span the poetic and fanciful sensibility of Midrash, the magical and literary bent of the Pseudepigrapha, as well as the thematic reframing of lunar motifs in the Patristic literature. Other religious and literary writings to be summarized will include those of ancient Jewish commentators such as the Tannaim, Amoraim, and later Medieval thinkers, as well as those of the Church Fathers and Biblical faith groups such as the Samaritans. Throughout, the emphasis will be upon understanding the interpretive literary trajectory of these verses, as well as upon the light these religious, calendrical and astronomical interpretations have shed upon the writers’ changing understanding of humanity¹s place in the cosmos.
Sky: Atmospheres and Aesthetic Distance in Planetary and Lunar Environments
Authors: Madacsi David
Published: April 2023

While much of Western aesthetics has been influenced by early concepts of ideal beauty and a later ideal of disinterested contemplation of works of art, some contemporary aestheticians argue for an aesthetics of environment itself, both built and natural. Sensory perception is by definition implicit to aesthetic perception, and an artist, working in an environment which not only is a source of sensory information but additionally may be a source of personal aesthetic experience, produces works which may have aesthetic value as reflections of aspects of an intelligible universe – aesthetic value which may be informed by the artist’s own aesthetic experience of environment. To the earthbound observer, that portion of environment referred to as ‘the sky’ is a subjective uniquely-framed window to the rest of the universe, individually cropped by local horizons and nearby physical/structural barriers. An individual’s sky field-of-view may vary from a restricted few degrees of visual angle defined by an opening in a rainforest canopy to the unrestricted panorama of sky seen from a mountaintop and viewable in its entirety only by fully turning ones gaze through all points of the compass. Though Earth’s clear night sky is essentially transparent, the daytime lighting of its atmosphere, whether cloudy or clear, blinds earthbound observers to extraterrestrial astronomical phenomena with the exception of those involving the sun, moon, and (somewhat briefly) the brightest stars and planets. Similarly throughout the solar system, the absence, presence, and properties of atmospheres will be fundamental determinants of aesthetic distance and therefore of aesthetic experience of planetary and lunar environments as well as of extraplanetary and extralunar astronomical phenomena.
A Journey of Celestial Lights: The Sky as Allegory in Melville’s ‘Moby Dick’
Authors: Matlaga Daniel R.
Published: April 2023

Scholars have long sought a blueprint that cohesively ties together various events and characters in ‘Moby Dick’; a 'key' that will unlock its secrets and allow a greater understanding of the novel. After 150 years, we have Melville’s key: the sky. In his PhD thesis, John F. Birk suggested that, as the Pequod sails from one ocean to the next in search of the great white whale, it sails through the twelve traditional constellations of the zodiac. Birk identifies thirteen characters with zodiacal constellations, and a few non-zodiacal constellations with individual chapters. However, Melville’s genius goes further in his use of astronomical phenomena than Birk suggests. The Pequod leaves Nantucket at noon on December 25, 1838 and is destroyed by the white whale at sunset January 4, 1840. His use of six of the nine 'gams' or meetings between the Pequod with other whale ships on the high seas provide the necessary planetary data to precisely determine, for the first time, the year at sea. The white whale provides the day of destruction and constellations the hour. Further, Melville was able to relate phases of the moon, solar eclipses, comets, meteor showers, constellations, stars and other celestial events of that year to story events, structure and characters. Using this new understanding, one can see ‘Moby Dick’ – and indeed the sky –as Herman Melville did. No longer must it remain his '…most admired and least understood novel'.
A Brief History of Beiji (Northern Culmen)
Authors: Pankenier David W.
Published: April 2023

In ancient Chinese astral lore, the imperial nomenclature associated with the circumpolar stars in the Palace of Purple Tenuity points to the crucial importance of the north-pole in astrological, calendrical, and spiritual contexts. But preoccupation with this numinous region has a history far longer than the Chinese empire, founded in 221 BCE. This paper briefly surveys what is known about the pre-imperial history of the region of the ‘Northern Culmen’, with particular reference to spiritual and metaphysical conceptions relating to the Northern Dipper, and to the void at the pivot of the heavens which lacked a pole star throughout much of the formative period of classical Chinese civilization. The discussion concludes with a hypothesis about the astral origins of the ancient form of the character used to denote the High God ‘di’.

EFFECT OF KITCHEN WASTES AND ANIMAL DUNG ON REPRODUCTIVE POTENTIAL OF EUTYPHOEUS WALTONI
Authors: Siddiqui Nazia , Singh Keshav
Published: April 2023

Earthworms are known to be an excellent biological source that recovers plant nutrients from the organic wastes. With the synergistic action of these earthworms along with bacteria, conversion of organic wastes into nutrient rich bio-fertilizer occurs through vermicomposting or vermistabilization, which is a cost efficient, eco-friendly and simple biotechnological process. During this process, important nutrients including nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and calcium are released and converted into more soluble and easily available forms to plants by microbial action. The present review focuses on the effect of different combinations of animal dung with kitchen wastes on the reproductive potential of earthworm Eutyphoeus waltoni as well as bioconversion of kitchen wastes mixed with animal wastes into humus rich manure.
STATUS OF PLANKTON AND BENTHOS IN THE AQUACULTURE FIELD OF BANGLADESH
Authors: Chakraborty Binay Kumar
Published: April 2023

Phytoplankton is a key food item in both aquaculture and mariculture. Phytoplankton is utilized as food for the animals in aquaculture directly. The plankton are collected from a body of water or cultured. Phytoplankton is used as a food stock for the production of rotifers and also used to feed molluscs, pearl oysters and giant clams. Plankton is divided into two groups belonging to phytoplankton and zooplankton. Phytoplankton has chlorophyll to capture sunlight, and they use photosynthesis to turn it into chemical energy. Zooplankton is a small floating or weakly swimming organism. Zooplankton moves vertically in the water column each day, feeding on the phytoplankton, small floating plants such as algae. Zooplankton serves as an intermediary species in the food chain, transferring energy from planktonic algae to the larger invertebrate predators and fish. Benthos is the community of organisms that live on, in, or near the seabed, river, lake or stream bottom, also known as the benthic zone. This community lives in or near marine or freshwater sedimentary environment, from tidal pools along the foreshore, out to the continental, and then down to the abyssal depths.

Authors: K. Verma Vinod , Gupta Neelima , Mishra Saurabh , Kalani Anuradha
Published: April 2023

Minerals such as zinc (Zn) are abundant in the Earth's crust, serving as cofactors for a variety of proteins and modulating immune functions, however, in high doses, it might cause toxic effects on the body. This study examined the effects of excessive Zn concentrations on fish hematological parameters. The authors employed fresh water fishes Clarias batrachus as an experimental model and treated them with three different concentrations of Zn. The treatment with Zn was done for total 28 days and hematological parameters were assessed at different time intervals. As compared to control, Zn treated fishes showed considerable changes in hematological parameters such as, Haemoglobin (Hb), total erythrocyte counts (TEC), total leucocytes count (TLC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV). The present study showed that exposure to Zn could be linked to chronic and acute hematological toxicity in fishes in time and dose-dependent manner.

Psychological aspects of the formation of communicative competence among graduates of medical universities
Authors: Khayatov R. B. , Shamsikulova S. A.
Published: April 2023

One of the main competencies in the field of healthcare is the communicative competence of the individual. The profession of a doctor belongs to the activity of the subject-subject type (person-person), where interpersonal communication with patients and their relatives occupies a special place therefore, speaking about the communicative competence of a doctor as a professionally significant quality, we primarily mean the effectiveness of direct interpersonal communication [1]. At the same time, we note that the development of electronic means of communication allows us to talk about the tendency to reduce the role of direct interpersonal communication, as well as about the decrease of its component in the communicative competence of the individual, but, in our opinion, this applies to a lesser extent to the communicative competence of the doctor.

AN EMPRICAL LITERATURE REVIEW ON FINNACIAL INCLUSION
Authors: Murthy Dr Kamakula N
Published: April 2023

The review of literature gives an outline of the study's main topics. An examination of the available literature is expected in order to determine the progress achieved in the subject area and the gaps that the researcher must fill. So far, a vast number of researches on financial inclusive growth have yielded useful insights and policy recommendations. Despite the fact that some of the researches are extensive, there are still significant gaps. Many issues concerning unbanked people's access to finance, credit, and resources have not been fully investigated or targeted. While the academics' results, analytical methodology, and policy recommendations are noteworthy, the current study is a diagnostic attempt to determine the state, pattern, and prospects of financial inclusive growth. As a result, the present paper seeks to offer a quick overview of the research on what methodologies are necessary to include the unbanked population at both the international and national levels. Theoretical analyses of economic growth, economic disparities, and the relevance of human capital for inclusive growth policies give a sound foundation for recognising the importance of a new route of economic growth policies to maintain nations. The nature, scope, and effects of financial exclusion/inclusion are presented in the empirical reviews. Financial innovations are also discussed in the context of Financial Inclusion in the empirical reviews.

EFFECT OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK ON SHAREHOLDERS' WEALTH OF COMMERCIAL BANKS LISTED AT NAIROBI SECURITIES EXCHANGE, KENYA
Authors: Mogusu Margaret Wanjiru , Mustafa Nancy Karinthoni
Published: April 2023

Shareholders’ wealth is among key decisions in a firm because it has a bearing in overall investor perception and firm value. There has been concern about declining value of shareholders’ wealth among commercial banks listed at the Nairobi Security Exchange (NSE). Previous studies have tried to link foreign exchange risk to shareholders’ wealth. The researchers however fail to agree on the magnitude and direction of the effect. It is not established how foreign exchange risk would affect shareholders’ wealth of commercial banks listed at the NSE. The objective of this study was to establish the effect of foreign exchange risk on Shareholders’ wealth of Commercial Banks listed at then NSE. Descriptive research design was adopted. The target population was eleven commercial banks that had been constantly listed at the NSE from 2013-2019. A census was conducted to collect data from the eleven banks due to the smallness of the population. Data was collected using a checklist. Data was obtained from published financial statements and the Banking survey publications for seven years from 2013 to 2019. Data was analyzed using simple and multiple regression analysis with the help of SPSS version 25.0. Hypothesis was tested using t-statistic at 5% significance level. The study found that foreign exchange risk had a positive effect on shareholders’ wealth (regression coefficient 4.308, p-value of 0.019). The findings suggest that a bank that invests in foreign investments yields high foreign income which will increase banks profitability resulting to increase in investors’ returns in terms of capital gain and dividends. The study recommends that commercial banks ought to come up with ways of minimizing this risk.
DISCOVER THE REAL TRUTH THROUGH POWER OF SPIRITUALITY: CHANGE OF ATMOSPHERE FOR THE NEW WORLD
Authors: Kumar Ajay
Published: April 2023

The present human civilization is moving forward along with many backward motions, generation after generation. At the same time, in the running society amidst a lot of conventional ordinary zero-point or negative works, few giant steps are taken for the good of the people in the long run. Mental capacity of common people is not so powerful to catch the negative vibrations against the deeds taken for granted, today; and, hence, in majority cases, solution does not come. We blame one another and the situations become worse day by day. We always try to rationalize the irrationals by our own judgments, introducing falsehood, mistrust and selfishness; and, hence, in no way the problems reduce. Rather, the whole society is being entangled in a variety of mental turbulences in which we all have been captured directly or indirectly. Actually, we have lost our inner power as a result of forgetting our original spiritual identity. The right knowledge and understanding of soul, Supreme Soul and World Cycle, and self-realization and God-realization made clear the universal concept of One-World -Family in the sense that every human being is the spiritual child of God Father Shiva irrespective of the differences of castes, colours, creeds, cultures, faiths, religions, languages, genders, nationalities, places of birth, etc.
EVOLUTION OF AN INDIAN CITY: FROM CALCUTTA TO KOLKATA
Authors: Gupta Devarupa
Published: April 2023

Historically the transition of villages to cities was the final and most important stage of development in all largest cities around the world. In this context, the article attempts to understand the evolution of Kolkata not only from urban expansion but also from social and economic perspective of population composition. Since its foundation in 1690 by the side of the Hooghly River, Kolkata (the then Calcutta) was an important trade centre due to its excellent communication network. During the colonial period it was the capital of British India. The visible command of the city around its neighbouring regions influenced in-migration from the subcontinent and Europe. After the Indian independence, the region experienced an influx of refugees. This article also explores the integrated social relationship among communities in the city. By diversity of time, the last decade witnessed a negative population growth in Kolkata though the population was densely distributed.

Published: April 2023

The goal of this study was to look at the elements that influence the efficient use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Hawassa City Administration Secondary School in Sidama Regional State, Ethiopia. Furthermore, the study looked at the opportunities that instructors have while using ICT. We used a descriptive survey design with a mixed techniques approach. Four public secondary schools were purposefully chosen for their proximity to each corner of the city administration. To choose 205 sample instructors for the questionnaire, a systematic random sampling approach was used. For the selection of ICT teachers and for the interviews, a random sample approach was adopted. The questionnaire data was examined using percentage and mean as statistical approaches. Thematic narrative analysis was used to examine the interviews. The findings revealed that PCs, LCD projectors, movies, printers, laptops, cellphones, plasma televisions, and the Internet were insufficiently available and used. The issues of secondary school instructors of study region were challenged by a lack of Internet access, fluctuating power supply, and computer illiteracy among teachers. Based on this, it was advised that the Hawassa city administration, in partnership with stakeholders, work hard to overcome the issues of the schools in order to properly execute the ICT programme and improve educational quality.
Steganography a Technique to Hide Information within an Image
Authors: Thakre Nitin , Junghare Sakshi , Sakhre Pranali , Khawse Dipti
Published: April 2023

Steganography is the science and art of secret communication between two parties that seek to conceal the content of their messages. It is a technology that embeds information into cover photos without losing information after embedding. Steganography is the technique and method of hiding a message so that no one but the sender and receiver will suspect how the message survived. This article compares two different techniques. The first technique uses the least significant bit (LSB) without encryption or compression. Now in the second method, the encrypted message is first encrypted and then the least significant bit is used. The image is then transformed into the frequency domain using a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). The LSB algorithm is applied in the local domain where the image parts corresponding to the payload are embedded in the least significant parts of the overlay image and the image is embedded in the least significant parts of the overlay image to generate a steganographic image. The DCT algorithm is appliedin the frequency domain and transforms from the steganographic image domain to the spatial domain where the image title is interpolated to the least significant parts of the image. This white paper mainly provides an overview of steganography requirements benefits and related technologies. This white paper shows which steganographic methods are most effective for which requirements are met and which applications are most compatible with which steganographic methods.
