Vulnerable or/ and resistant: Transgender Worlds and Constructions of Identity
Authors: Gupta Bulbul
Published: December 2024

The paper examines the vicissitudes of identity vis-à-vis vulnerability of Rosie, a transgender person in Geetanjali Shree’s, Tomb of Sand (a Hindi-language fiction translated into English by an American translator, Daisy Rockwell) that won the International Booker Prize in 2022 from a queer theory and transgender theory framework. As the author situates Rosie in ‘vulnerablility’ of varied sorts – gender, class and so on, the paper explores how Geetanjali Shree opens up analysis and debate of issues such as invisibility, transphobia, intersectionality of identities, ‘central self’, the ‘double bind’ of gender representation and sexed body, gender fluidity and personal empowerment in context of transgenderism. Further, the paper aims to gain an insight into the manner in which the author weaves her way through the issues related to transgenderism to not just enter into the historically contested, complex and dynamic understanding of gender and sexuality but to also present her own articulations on the questions related to the epistemology of the two.

Authors: Karakosta Charikleia , Corovessi Alice
Published: December 2024

The Energy Union prioritizes energy efficiency to reduce pollution and reliance on imports. With 40% of Europe’s energy consumed by buildings, upgrading existing structures is crucial for a clean energy transition, necessitating standardized, One-Stop-Shops (OSSs) for homeowner guidance and financing. OSSs solutions for energy efficiency measures in buildings are comprehensive programs or services that aim to streamline and simplify the process of improving buildings energy performance. This paper aims at analyzing the concept of OSSs as a key mechanism supporting enhanced energy efficiency in residential, business, and public buildings. The paper focuses on the key benefits and associated barriers and challenges of OSSs operation, so as to provide recommendation for accelerating building renovations towards a clean energy transition. The study underscores the importance of recognizing OSSs or analogous structures as facilitators for various stakeholders, including citizens, SMEs, and public authorities, to undertake projects related to the clean energy transition.
VARIANTS OF ALIENATION IN CONRAD’S VICTORY
Authors: Tučev Nataša , Petrović Nikola
Published: December 2024

The paper deals with various manifestations of alienation in Joseph Conrad’s novel Victory (1915), primarily by referring to the classification put forward by the American sociologist Melvin Seeman. The introductory part provides a brief historical overview of major theoretical perspectives on alienation as a social and psychological phenomenon, as well as a discussion of Seeman’s approach to it. By applying these theories to the analysis of Conrad’s novel, the paper aims to demonstrate that the motif of alienation is predominant in Victory, denoting a condition which plagues not only the novel’s protagonist, Axel Heyst, but numerous other characters as well. The same as many other authors in the period of modernism, Conrad was preoccupied with the problem of an alienated individual in the contemporary society, which makes the discussion of this motif essential for understanding his artistic vision.

Effect of incremental salinity on survival and behaviour of zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Authors: Mondal Nabajit , Kaur Jaspreet , Bal Anulekha , Ghosh Anirban
Published: December 2024

Freshwater ecosystems in coastal regions are occasionally flooded with saline water due to tidal, seasonal and catastrophic water movements, thereby affecting physiology and behaviour of freshwater fishes. The aim of the present study was to determine the tolerance limit of salinity in zebrafish as a freshwater fish model, to characterize and quantify their behavioural response under mild to high incremental salinity exposure. Wild-type zebrafish (Danio rerio) individuals were maintained and exposed from fresh water to increasing NaCl concentration up to 20 g L–1 with a repeated exposure schedule for 96 h. Observation was made per tank for their mortality and for cumulative behavioural patterns under defined time frames. The estimated LC50 value was 14.122 g L–1 NaCl. Abrupt shifts of behavioural expression were found from 10 g L–1 of NaCl, with predominant stress movements followed by aggression and fighting as well as diminishing feeding and playing movements. The incremental salinity concentration and exposure time both were found to control the key behavioural indicators in a defined pattern.

Authors: Waffa Abdul-Abbas Shehab  , Haiffa Muhsan B. Alrikabi  , Abeer A. Abdul–Razaq  , Huda Karem Nasser  , Asaad Shakir Hameed
Published: December 2024

The capacitated vehicle routing (CVRP) is a combinatorial optimization problem (COP) which is belong to NP-hard problem category. This problem includes determining the best option for low-cargo vehicles to serve a number of clients. Every client is required to make a single journey, and the overall demand on each route cannot be greater than the vehicle's capacity. Numerous precise and heuristic approaches have been put out in the literature to address this problem. Specific methods such as branch-binding and branch-pruning assure the search for optimal solutions but are often impractical for large data sets due to their computational complexity heuristic and metaheuristic approaches like genetic algorithms (GAs), ant colony optimization (ACO), simulated annealing (SA), and tabu search (TS), provide optimal solutions in real time, making them more appropriate for bigger instances. Despite these advancements, most studies have not achieved new results compared to those in the standard CVRPLIB benchmark instances. Therefore, this study focused on exploring new results obtained by state-of-the-art approaches in the literature that have solved CVRP. In particular, our aim is to explore new algorithmic improvements designed to improve CVRP regarding to computational efficiency and quality of the solution.

Therefore, this article suggests the application of this PROJECT in an electric model aircraft controlled by a microcontroller. In this context the model aircraft used was the Hooby King BIXLER2 and the micro-controller, an ARDUINO UNO board. With these materials, it was proposed to use the model aircraft in the simulated launch of an aircraft-based artifact, guided by the Global Positioning System (GPS) for landing at a predetermined point (target). Simulating a smart bomb, the challenge of the project could be positively concluded through the results achieved by the different missions and verified by the course developed and mapped in an AFA’s T-27 Tucano aircraft.
Assessing the role of governance indicators on foreign direct investment: Insights from Southeastern European countries
Authors: Sadriu Mirsad , Balaj Driton
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this research is to highlight the way that governance indicators impact foreign direct investment (FDI) as a proportion of a nation’s gross domestic product (GDP). Using data gathered from the World Bank, the authors in this research performed multiple regression for 13 Southeastern European nations using the pooled ordinary least squares (POLS) approach in order to assess the impact. According to the paper’s main findings, net FDI is significantly positively impacted by government effectiveness (GE), and the political stability and absence of violence/terrorism (PSAV), while on the other hand, net FDI is significantly negatively impacted by the rule of law (RL). The other governance indicators regulatory quality (RQ), control of corruption (CC) and voice and accountability (VA), did not significantly affect FDI attraction for the Southeastern countries. The importance of this research is mostly focused on the role of FDIs in the economic growth and development of a country (Bajçinca et al., 2024), rationally reflecting the national levels of governance. Also, this paper will contribute to enriching the existing literature related to the research topic.

Contribution to methods and techniques of scientific research: Process of publishing a scientific manuscript
Authors: Rankovic Nenad
Published: December 2024

In order for authors, especially younger ones, to know what they have to
count on in the process of publishing their manuscripts, they need to know
that process and ade?quately prepare for everything that awaits them. In
this explanation, the focus is on the process of publishing a manuscript in
a scientific journal, in the classic way (printing on paper). However, the
process is very little different for other types of documents or for
electronic publications. The main characteristic of the manuscript
publishing process is the relative complexity and multiple sending and
returning of the manuscript (from the author to the editorial office and
back). This requires that the authors and editors of the magazine have a lot
of patience and show promptness and cooperation in mutual communication.

Teachers’ Perceptions of Basic Literacy Teaching: The Case of Basic Literacy in Education for Adult L2 Learners in Sweden
Authors: Wedin Åsa
Published: December 2024

This article presents results from a study of ideologies in the teaching of basic literacy skills to adult second language learners in Sweden. The study is based on 25 interviews with teachers and 17 focus group interviews. The analysis is based on Cummins’ and Halls’ layered models for literacy education. In the study, teachers referred to their link to general language teaching, mainly to a sociocultural and whole-language approach. This was based on students’ perceived needs in their everyday lives, with specific language skills linked to students’ social lives. However, literacy was secondary when it came to basic literacy skills, such as letter–sound relationships, letter recognition, sight words and sounding-out words, and teachers did not reference the relationship to students’ lives or mapping students’ prior knowledge. There was therefore no discussion of adapting these skills to the various needs of a heterogenous student group. While the teachers in the study stated that they used strategies for adults, they seemed to rely less on conscious teaching strategies and research-based knowledge in initial literacy teaching.
Uroens muligheter og gjenopplivning av det pedagogiske paradoks
Authors: Sirevåg Lene Cherize Haugland
Published: December 2024

I dette essayet spør jeg hvorvidt samtalen om uro i skolen er i ferd med å forlate pedagogikkfagets paradoksale gjenstandsområde til fordel for et pedagogisk terreng med lite plass til dilemma og uro. Spørsmålet teksten dreier rundt, er om bekymringen for uro i skolen, i læringens navn, reduserer pedagogikkfaget til en disiplin for svar på og kontroll av alle former for uro i stedet for å være et ydmykt fag for spørsmål. Dette er viktig fordi en konsekvens av kontrolleringstrangen er et stadig økende reguleringsbehov av barna.
Pedagogikk kan ikke bare være et fag for regulering av menneskelig atferd, like viktig er hvordan vi pedagoger evner å møte dilemma i vår praksis og den vitale responsen fra barn på deres umiddelbare møte med verden. Essayet forsøker å skape et brudd i samtalen om uro filtrert gjennom det pedagogiske paradoks. Uro forstås ofte som et negativt problem for læring. Med dette essayet løfter jeg spørsmålet om uro også kan forstås som produktivt for gjenopplivning av det pedagogiske paradoks, trigge nye forståelser av barns demokratiske medborgerskap, og gi næring til livsappetitt og vitalitet blant barn i skolen.
English abstract
Reviving the Pedagogical Paradox and the Potential of Disturbances in Education
This essay delves into the evolving conversation about disruptions and disruptive behaviour in education, questioning whether it is shifting away from the paradoxical domain of pedagogy towards an educational landscape with little room for dilemmas and altercations. A central question posed is whether the concern for disruptive behaviour in schools, under the guise of promoting learning, is reducing the field of pedagogy to a discipline focused solely on answering and controlling all forms of unruly energy among children, rather than maintaining its essence as a humble field of inquiry.
This issue is significant because the urge to control often leads to an increasing need to regulate children. Pedagogy cannot merely be a field for regulating human behaviour; it is equally important for educators to address dilemmas in their practice and respond to the vital, immediate encounters children have with the world. The essay aims to create a rupture in the conversation about disruptions, viewed through the lens of the pedagogical paradox.
Disruptions are frequently perceived as negative problems for learning. However, this essay raises the question of whether such unrest can also be seen as productive for the revival of the pedagogical paradox. It suggests that disruptions might trigger new understandings of children’s democratic citizenship and nurture a zest for life and vitality among students in schools. By re-examining the role of disruptions in education, the essay seeks to highlight the potential benefits of nurturing and caring for rather than merely controlling disturbances in school. It argues for a more nuanced approach to pedagogy, one that values inquiry and the dynamic responses of children, ultimately fostering a more vibrant and responsive educational environment.

Published: December 2024

Background: Educating occupational therapy (OT) students in pain science is essential to align with biopsychosocial treatment
models and multidisciplinary approaches. This knowledge equips them to tackle the pain and opioid epidemic in clinical
practice. This study aimed to evaluate if a pain neuroscience education (PNE) lecture for OT students produced immediate
positive shifts and whether these changes correlated with those observed in physical therapy and physician assistant students.
Methods: This case series involved 120 OT students from four United States (US) schools who participated in a two-hour
PNE lecture, delivered in-person or online. Pre- and post-lecture assessments included the revised neurophysiology of pain
questionnaire (rNPQ), Likert Scale questions on pain beliefs, and the pain attitudes and beliefs scale (biomedical) PABS-BM
and pain attitudes and beliefs scale (biopsychosocial) PABS-BPS to evaluate changes in pain knowledge and attitudes.
Results: Data collected from 120 OT students enrolled in four entry-level OTD programs yielded significant changes in rNPQ
(p <0.001), PABS-BM (p < 0.001), PABS-BPS (p < 0.001) and all beliefs shifted positively after the PNE lecture. Positive postPNE lecture changes were similar for in-person and online presentations.
Conclusion and Relevance: Our results indicate that PNE taught to OT students, either online or in person, results in increased
knowledge of pain neuroscience, healthier beliefs regarding persistent pain, and shifts students from a biomedical model
towards a biopsychosocial model.

Diante ao cenário competitivo atual, faz-se necessário as empresas adotarem uma postura extremamente detalhista sobre seus processos e produtos. Em empreendimentos como pizzarias familiares, onde os lucros costumam ser limitados e a concorrência é forte, a gestão eficiente do estoque é um elemento essencial. Como trata-se de uma empresa em que a qualidade dos produtos frescos é crucial e a demanda é bastante variável, uma gestão de estoque eficiente é indispensável para assegurar a disponibilidade dos itens, reduzir desperdícios e otimizar o uso dos recursos. Dessa forma, o artigo realizado tem o objetivo de aumentar a acurácia do estoque, através de ferramentas como o ciclo PDCA (Planejar, Executar, Verificar e Agir) incorporando em cada passo a abordagem lean. Os resultados iniciais mostram melhorias significativas para a acuracidade, pois os níveis de estoque estabilizaram, gerando assim, maior assertividade no controle dos insumos, minimizando desperdícios e evitando faltas.

With its significant biological activities, the benzimidazole nucleus is a crucial pharmacophore in medicine. Recent studies have focused on the synthesis and biological activity of benzimidazole compounds. Therefore, this study prepared a series of N-heterocyclic silver compounds containing benzimidazole nuclei. These complexes were cultured with lung (A549), colon (CaCo2), breast (MCF7), prostate (PC3) cancer cell lines, and healthy lung (WI38) cell line, and their anticancer effects were investigated through MTT, apoptosis determination, and oxidative stress tests. The results revealed that the presence of drug candidates was more practical than that of commercially used cisplatin.

The increasing need for energy efficiency and more accurate monitoring of energy consumption has driven the development of intelligent energy metering systems. This Final Project discusses the development of Wireless Energy Meter that integrates sensor technology and data analysis for better monitoring and prediction of energy consumption. The main objective of this research is to improve understanding of household energy consumption patterns and develop power factor improvement algorithms that can provide better use of energy efficiency in the future. At the first stage, the system is implemented using energy sensors connected to the household electrical network. The data obtained from this sensor is sent to the Thingspeak application for later monitoring. The second stage involves developing an algorithm to automatically correct the power factor that the capacitor will later embed to correct cos phi if the existing power factor is less than a predetermined set point. The results of this study show that the system that has been developed is able to provide real-time monitoring of energy consumption and improve electricity quality for better energy efficiency in the future. This can help users to be more efficient in energy use, identify potential savings, and reduce environmental impact. In addition, this system can be used by equipment in households whose purpose is to optimize the use of daily electricity loads.
Temperature Control for Seaweed Dryer Based on PID
Authors: Mukti Krisna
Published: December 2024

Seaweed is a commodity that has great potential in terms of establishing small or medium scale community businesses which are usually referred to as SMEs. The first thing you need to know about cultivating seaweed is the drying process, which aims to reduce the water content of the seaweed. When drying seaweed, people still use the traditional method, namely drying it in the sun, which takes 2 to 3 days. During the rainy season, farmers have to take 3 to 5 days for good results. Apart from that, the work is still manual or traditional, namely drying seaweed which takes quite a long time. If the weather when harvesting seaweed is rainy season, it will cause losses to seaweed farmers. As an alternative, a PID-based seaweed temperature and humidity control device has been developed using a light bulb heater as a substitute for sunlight for the process of drying the seaweed. The DS18B20 sensor is used to measure temperature, which is then displayed on the LCD. The Arduino Uno microcontroller is used to control the seaweed drying tool. This seaweed dryer can speed up drying by utilizing the Arduino system to reduce humidity so that drying time is faster. The results obtained with this simple seaweed dryer can speed up the drying process to 1.5 to a maximum of 2 days and the quality of the dried seaweed is better because it is protected from surrounding dust and dirt. The result of this research is a seaweed dryer that can help farmers dry the results of their seaweed cultivation in any weather conditions with the hope of better results.

Published: December 2024

As technology advances in the modern era, the need and consumption of electrical energy in society has increased rapidly. With the need for electrical energy continuing to increase, various disturbances in the electrical system, including in substations, cannot be predicted when they will occur. The Power Breaker (PMT) is a vital equipment in the Bantul 150 kV substation power system that functions to break the electrical circuit under load to prevent interference and damage to equipment and ensure the smooth distribution of electrical energy to consumers. Based on the role of PMT, the estimation of PMT failure time has not been studied in depth. This study aims to analyze the Mean Time Between Failure and Reliability of the Bantul 150 kV Substation PMT. The method used in assessing PMT life is Maximum Likelihood Estimation. The data used are the results of observations of ten different PMTs in Bantul Substation. The results of the analysis show that the average value of the time period between failures (MTBF) varies between different PMTs. The highest MTBF value is PMT Wirobrajan 2 with a damage period of about 14.55 months, while the lowest MTBF is PMT Semanu 2 with a damage period of 5.48 months. The results of the analysis of failure probability, cumulative failure probability, reliability probability, and damage rate of 150 kV PMTs show significant variations between different PMTs. Reliability value produces the lowest value on PMT Transformer 3. While the highest Reliability value produces the highest value, namely on PMT Kopel. With the known MTBF and Reliability of 150 kV PMT at Bantul Substation, it can be used as a basis for maintenance and maintenance of PMT in its operation at Bantul Substation.
