الأحاديث التي ضعفها أبو داود بسبب النكارة في سننه: كتاب الأطعمة والأدب جمع ودراسة
Authors: عبدالله احمد
Published: December 2023

نَّ عبارة منكر هي عبارة تجريح للرواة, وقد اتفق النقاد على ردِّ مرويات الرواة, وإن كانوا ثقات, إذا تفردوا ثمَّ خالفوا ولم يتابعهم أحد, والنكارة عند الإمام أبي داود رحمه الله, هي عدم ضبط الراوي, سواء كان ثقةً, أم صدوقاً, أم ضعيفاً فيخالف, بأن يخطأ, أو يهم, فيتفرد, وقد ردَّ النقاد أحاديث الثقات ومنهم الإمام أبو داود؛ بسبب التفرد, أو المخالفة فلم يتابعهم أحد, فلا يقبل ما رواه الراوي, إلا إذا وافق الثقات, ومعلوم أنَّ أبا داود رحمه الله قد وافق من سبقه من النقاد, في أنَّ النكارة إنَّما هي ردُّ رواية من تكون هذه حاله, فكانت خطة البحث قد اشتملت على مبحثين, وخاتمة ثمَّ المصادر والمراجع.

ومن خلال ذلك جمعتُ الرواة الذين أنكر أحاديثهم الإمام أبو داود, ثم درستُ أسانيدها بعد تخريج أحاديثها, وجمعتُ أقوال النقاد الذين وافقوه والذين خالفوه, ثم الحكم على الحديث, فخرجتُ بنتيجة أنَّ جميع ما رواه الرواة أحاديثهم منكرة, فكان عنوان البحث:" الأحاديث التي ضعفها أبو داود بسبب النكارة في سننه: كتاب الأطعمة والأدب, جمع ودراسة".
الاستبداد العقدي الاسباب والمعالجات فرعون نموذجا

Published: December 2023

الاستبداد ظاهرة قديمة عند الامم والشعوب ,وقد وثق القران الكريم استبداد فرعون كنموذج للحاكم الطاغية الذي اجبر قومه الى حد ان جعلوه الها لهم , كما ان المستبد الحاكم سواء كان فرعون موسى عليه السلام ام غيره يستخدم الاساليب نفسها في استغلال الشعوب ونهب خيرات البلاد , مع اشاعة ثقافة التجهيل , ورفع شأن بطانة الحاكم الطاغية وتسليمهم مقاليد ادارة الدولة ومناصبها الرفيعة دون ان يمتلكوا الكفاءة والامانة , مما يؤدي بالبلد والامة الى حافة الانهيار , ولذلك كان هذا البحث يركز على سمات الطغاة المستبدون واساليبهم والاثار التي يخلفوها في شعوبهم م الدمار النفسي والروحي والمادي وعلى كافة الاصعدة .

ان الوقوف بوجه الطغيان والاستبداد ضرورة ملحة من اجل ايقاف النهاية الكارثية للامة التي تسكت على هذا المستبد الذي استغل ضعفهم وصمتهم فاستخف بهم وقادهم كالعبيد .

ان الدين الاسلامي جعل الانسان خليفة الله في الارض فلا يصح استعباده او سحق كرامته وانسانيته , ولا يصح ان تضيع الامانة على ايدي مستبدون مرضى القلوب منحرفي السلوك فكانت تعاليم الدين الاسلامي في بناء الامة ومنع تسلط الطغاة عليها منهجا ودليلا .
موانع تحمل المسؤولية الجنائية لمرتكبي جرائم الحرب في الفقه الإسلامي
Authors: جاسم محمد
Published: December 2023

اشترطت الشريعة الإسلامي أن يكون مرتكب الجرمية مدركاً قاصداً مختاراً ايقاع الجريمة ليكون أهلاً لتحمل المسؤولية الجنائية عما فعله، فيجب أن يكون الفاعل عاقلاً بالغاً مكتمل الأهلية فإن كان خلاف ذلك فلا مسؤولية تقع عليه كأن يكون مكرهاً أو مجنوناً أو غير مميز، فغير العاقل لا تقع عليه المسؤولية لأنه غير مدرك لأفعاله، والسؤال المهم الذي يحتاج إلى ايضاح وبيان وهو محور هذا البحث، ما هي: موانع تحمل مسؤولية الجنائية لمرتكب جرائم الحرب في الفقه الإسلامي؟ ولا فرق في ذلك أن تكون تلك الجرائم على النفس أو ما دونها من الأعضاء أو الأموال أو الممتلكات، والجواب يكمن في مدى إدراك الفاعل لما يقوم به من جرائم، وهذه ما سنبينه في بحثنا هذا.

إن الحاجة الملحة والماسة إلى بيان أحكام الشريعة الإسلامية في ما يتعلق بقواعد الحروب ونظامها، وبيان الأحكام الفقهية لمرتكب جريمة الحرب. فضلاً خدمة ضحايا الحروب وذويهم، وبيان الأحكام الشرعية المتعلقة بهم وتيسير معرفتها لهم، فهذا موضوعنا من المواضيع المعاصرة على الرغم من كون مسائله الفقهية منثورة في بطون الكتب الفقهية القديمة لكنها كانت بحاجة إلى ترتيبها وإخراجها بحلة بهية لغرض فهمها واستيعاب مضامينها للناس عامة ومرتكبي جرائم الحرب خاصة.

إن هذا البحث يتكون من مقدمة وثلاثة مباحث وخاتمة بينا فيه تعريف جريمة الحرب وما يتصل بها من مفاهيم فضلاً عن أنواع وأركان جرائم الحرب وموانع تحمل المسؤولية الجنائية وخاتمة بينا فيها أهم النتائج والتوصيات وأخيراً قائمة بالمصادر والمراجع التي اعتمد عليها الباحثون.

YOUTH, WORK AND SCHOOL IN THE RURAL SPACE
Authors: Souza Heloisia Carneiro de , Pasqualli Roberta , Cardoso Luiz Mario Lopes , Cordeiro Borges Cardoso Flavio Manoel
Published: December 2023

Rural youth is conceived as a specific social category that takes shape in the face of diversity and heterogeneity. In this direction, this theoretical essay aims to discuss the condition of being young in rural areas from the relationship between work and study. It was constituted from a qualitative approach and produced through bibliographical research involving authors such as Bourdieu (2003), Dayrell (2003), Ferreira and Alves (2009), Margulis and Urresti (1996), Moraes, Pasqualli and Spessatto (2021). It was prepared from publications in books, periodicals that address the investigated theme. This manuscript portrays the young people's dilemma between staying in rural areas or migrating to the city and, in some cases, the pressure for family succession in the countryside. It also highlights the differentiated condition of access, permanence and school success among young people of different genders, given the expectations set by families. The search for studies in the urban area and, consequently, the abandonment of the field, creates the expectation of improvement in the living conditions, which, not always, materializes, if not for the advance in the levels of schooling.

Introducción: La neutropenia febril (NF) constituye una complicación frecuente, considerada una urgencia infectológica en los pacientes con cáncer que reciben tratamiento mielosupresor. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo descriptivo a través de la revisión de los expedientes de todos los episodios de NF secundarios a quimioterapia ingresados en el Hospital del Niño - Dr. José Renán Esquivel durante el periodo de enero a diciembre de 2017. Resultados: El estudio consistió en la evaluación de características epidemiológicas e identificación de agentes infecciosos en 49 casos de NF, y 104 eventos febriles. Se observó que el 51% de los casos eran varones, con una edad promedio de 7 años, y recuperación de NF en los primeros 7 días del 68%. La mayoría de las hospitalizaciones (53,8%) duraron de 1 a 7 días, con una relación directa con los días de fiebre y la presencia de neutropenia. La letalidad registrada fue de 6.1%. Los agentes etiológicos más frecuentes fueron la Pseudomonas aeruginosa, los Estafilococos coagulasa negativos y Staphylococcus aureus meticilino sensible. Conclusión: Los hallazgos permiten conocer la epidemiología actual de los pacientes con NF que se admiten al hospital, con el fin de optimizar el tratamiento para reducir la tasa de letalidad.
Bronquiolitis: problema de salud pública sin resolver
Authors: Méndez Dutary David , Moreno Graciela
Published: December 2023

Introducción: La bronquiolitis aguda (BA) es la causa principal de admisiones en cuartos de urgencias y salas pediátricas, especialmente en el lactante menor de 2 años. Se ha reportado que el 70 a 85% de los casos atendidos, el Virus Sincicial Respiratorio (VSR), es el más frecuente agente infeccioso responsable. Hasta el momento, no se ha podido producir una vacuna efectiva y segura que elimine de la lista de agentes peligrosos este virus que suele tener una distribución universal. El diagnóstico de la Bronquiolitis aguda es fundamentalmente clínico, sin embargo, en la última década la introducción de paneles de detección de un número de agentes causantes de infecciones respiratorias bajas ha sido de gran utilidad para confirmar la prevalencia del VSR, y para agregar a las listas otros agentes virales que pueden dar un cuadro similar. En esta lista está el adenovirus, el para influenza, el rinovirus y el metapneumovirus. En Panamá la estacionalidad del VSR iniciaba en la época de lluvias (mayo) y terminaba al final del año con la entrada del verano o temporada seca. Resultados: Durante el primer año de pandemia (2020) hubo una reducción significativa de los casos atendidos en los cuartos de urgencia pediátricos, así como en las hospitalizaciones. Ya en el 2021 nuevamente se incrementó el número de casos atendidos en los cuartos de urgencia y se incrementó el número de admisiones. Conclusión: Durante los años de pandemia hubo casos de bronquiolitis por VSR durante la temporada seca no ajustándose a la estacionalidad de los años prepandemia.

Published: December 2023

Se presenta el caso de una recién nacida a término valorada en el servicio de urgencias por ictericia sin criterios de fototerapia. En los controles analíticos posteriores se detecta hipertransaminasemia y dislipemia con aumento de LDL-colesterol. Tras no objetivar alteraciones en los diferentes parámetros estudiados se realiza biopsia hepática que muestra hallazgos compatibles con cirrosis. Se amplía el estudio metabólico y presenta un perfil alterado de sialotransferrinas lo que lleva a realizar un diagnóstico de defecto congénito de la glicosilación. Bajo este nombre se incluye un grupo amplio de enfermedades relacionadas con alteraciones en el proceso de unión de glicanos a las cadenas proteicas. Este defecto, de origen genético, implica cambios en la estructura y funcionalidad de las glicoproteínas. Las manifestaciones clínicas son heterogéneas, en función del gen afecto y del tipo de glicoproteínas alteradas, siendo lo más común la afectación hepática, neurológica y hematológica.

Analysing the Level of Professionalism in the Teaching Practice Exercise for Pre-service Teachers in Nigeria
Authors: Fasanmi Success Ayodeji
Published: December 2023

The teaching profession in Nigeria has been relegated to the background such that most people feel ashamed of identifying with the profession. Worst still, educational institutions have compromised professionalism by employing graduates who did not undergo the Teacher-Education Programme (TEP). Most of such people merely took the teaching job just to make a living, thus endangering the scholarship for teaching and learning. The Teaching Practice Exercise (TPE) is one of the components of the TEP which all pre-service teachers are expected to undergo for a period of twelve weeks at two different times. The research thus set out to analyse the level of professionalism in teaching practice and the readiness of pre-service teachers for scholarship in teaching and learning. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 56 lecturers and 1000 students from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect data for analysis using descriptive statistics. The study found that the preparatory processes leading to the TPE by pre-service teachers were satisfactory. However, pre-service teachers were faced with the challenge of a lack of confidence in the classroom which hindered their performance. The lecturers who served as supervisors for the pre-service teachers in their various schools also had challenges with transportation costs as the University has no provision for them in this regard. The study recommended the need for supervisors to provide moral support for pre-service teachers to ensure professionalism. There is also the need for incentives to be provided for supervisors to assist them in performing efficiently. The study therefore emphasized the need for professionalism to be incorporated into the teacher education programme for the purpose of improving the quality of teaching and learning.

Keywords: Teaching, Profession, Professionalism, Pre-Service Teachers, Scholarship, Learning.
States Cooperation in Arresting Senior State Officials and Sitting Heads of State under International Criminal Law: Quo Vadis ICC
Authors: Masumbe Paul S.
Published: December 2023

Albeit the Rome Statute does not recognise the immunity of incumbent presidents before the International Criminal Court (ICC), prosecuting sitting presidents of non-parties states has become a debacle. Accordingly, despite the decisions of the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa and the Pre-Trial Chamber II of the ICC against non-compliance of South Africa and Jordan respectively in the arrest of Al Bashir as the serving President of Sudan, Al Bashir has never been tried even now as a former president because no state is willing to arrest and surrender him. The main defence for not cooperating with the Court is that the serving president, especially of non-states parties still enjoys immunity recognised by customary international law. Accordingly, while Article 27 of the Rome Statute is not applicable to non-state parties as argued by these states, Article 98 is applicable even though these arguments have been categorically rebutted by the Court. Consequently, since the Al Bashir case remains a prototype for state cooperation and the prosecution of serving heads of state before the ICC, this might become the fate of Vladimir Putin as serving head of state of the Russian Federation. This article used qualitative research methods and argues that without state cooperation in matters of arrest and surrender of sitting heads of state and other senior state officials to the ICC, the court’s effort to realise justice for crimes against humanity will remain largely unsuccessful under international criminal law.

Keywords: State cooperation, Putin’s arrest warrant, Al Bashir case, International Criminal Court, non-state parties to the Rome Statute.

Authors: Titko Jelena , Svirina Anna , Astike Kristina , Uzule Kristine , Shina Inga , Zarina Vita
Published: December 2023

Purpose – The goal of the research was to test a general assumption about culture contribution to sustainable development via the relationship between culture-related indices and the achievement of specific sustainable development goals.
Research methodology – Linear regression analysis along with robustness testing was used to test research hypotheses. The data set is represented by 19 explanatory variables and 2 dependent variables, which are proxies for sustainable developments goals Decent Work and Economic Growth and Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure – Innovation index and Global competitiveness index. The data were collected from 27 European countries for the period 2011–2020.
Findings – Statistical analysis revealed relationship between sustainable development indices and culture development of European countries. Decent Work and Economic Growth demonstrated more significant relationship to cultural development than the Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Development.
Research limitations – The findings are limited by the fact that some variables were missing.
Practical implications – The outcomes of the research allow to define the structure of relationship between sustainable development goals and cultural development indicators.
Originality/Value – The research results have indicated that the achievement of sustainable development goals Decent Work and Economic Growth and Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Development are affected by the level of cultural development.
Observing Planetesimal Formation under Streaming Instability in the Rings of HD 163296
Authors: Zagaria F. , Clarke C. J. , Booth R. A. , Facchini S. , Rosotti G. P.
Published: December 2023

We introduce a new technique to determine the gas turbulence and surface density in bright disk rings, under the assumption that dust growth is limited by turbulent fragmentation at the ring center. We benchmark this prescription in HD 163296, showing that our measurements are consistent with available turbulence upper limits and agree with independent estimates of the gas surface density within a factor of 2. We combine our results with literature measurements of the dust surface density and grain size to determine the dust-to-gas ratio and Stokes number in the 67 and 100 au rings. Our estimates suggest that particle clumping is taking place under the effect of streaming instability (SI) in the 100 au ring. Even though in the presence of external isotropic turbulence this process might be hindered, we provide evidence that turbulence is nonisotropic in both rings and likely originates from mechanisms (such as ambipolar diffusion) that could ease particle clumping under SI. Finally, we determine the mass accretion rate under the assumption that the disk is in steady state and turbulence regulates angular momentum transport. Our results are in tension with spectroscopic measurements and suggest that other mechanisms might be responsible for accretion, in qualitative agreement with the detection of a magnetocentrifugal wind in this system. Applying our method to larger samples can be used to statistically assess if SI is a viable mechanism to form planetesimals in bright rings.
Relating Intermittency and Inverse Cascade to Stochastic Entropy in Solar Wind Turbulence
Authors: Stumpo Mirko , Benella Simone , Alberti Tommaso , Pezzi Oreste , Papini Emanuele , Consolini Giuseppe
Published: December 2023

Turbulent energy transfer in nearly collisionless plasmas can be conceptualized as a scale-to-scale Langevin process. Hence, the statistics of magnetic field fluctuations can be embedded in the framework of stochastic process theory. In this work, we investigate the statistical properties of the pristine solar wind as observed by Parker Solar Probe by defining the cascade trajectories of magnetic field increments and by estimating the stochastic entropy variation along them. Through the stochastic entropy, we can identify two regimes where fluctuations exhibit contrasting statistical properties. In the inertial range, the entropy production is associated with an increase of the flatness indicating the occurrence of intermittency. Otherwise, trajectories associated with an entropy consumption exhibit global scale invariance. In the transition region toward ion scales, the phenomenology switches: entropy-consuming trajectories exhibit a sudden flatness increase, associated with the presence of small-scale intermittency, while entropy-producing trajectories display a nearly constant flatness. Results are interpreted in terms of physical processes consistent with an accumulation of energy at ion scales.
Karyotype and reproductive traits of the unique symbiotic mealybug Orbuspedum machinator G.-Z. (Homoptera, Coccinea)
Authors: Gavrilov-Zimin Ilya A.
Published: December 2023

The karyotype and reproductive features of Orbuspedum machinator Gavrilov-Zimin, 2017 (Pseudococcidae) were studied for the first time. Diploid chromosome number is 18 in females. Reproduction is probably bisexual, as indicated by the presence of characteristic Lecanoid heterochromatinization of the paternal set of chromosomes in embryonic cells of about 50% of the embryos studied. The female reproductive system has a pair of lateral oviducts merged into enlarged common oviduct; the spermatheca and accessory glands are connected to the common oviduct in its proximal part. Complete ovoviviparity occurs in ontogenesis.
Online survey of visitation and tourist behaviour in a protected territory—the case of Urdini Lakes, Rila National Park
Authors: Cholakova Siya , Dogramadjieva Elka
Published: December 2023

The lack of comprehensive and reliable data regarding visitation and tourist behaviour at local level and especially in vulnerable environment has been acknowledged long ago as an issue by both academics and practitioners. In Bulgaria, this type of data is scarce and inconsistent, regardless of the increased visitor flow in certain mountain areas. The mass adoption of social media, as well as the development of online travel communities, allow research with more ease the target population, as opposed to traditional resource-intensive monitoring methods. This paper presents the results of an online survey of visitors to Urdini Lakes in Rila National Park, Bulgaria. The aim of the study is to identify the overall recognition of the area and the extent of effective visit by mountaineers, as well as the profile of visitors and their behaviour. According to the results of this study, the influence of social media on visitation and tourist behaviour in the case of Urdini Lakes appeared lower than expected and much outweighed by factors like accessibility and trail difficulty. Further research should combine more innovative and mixed methodologies regarding the usage of social media and its influence, which can combine and compare different types of data such as surveys, geolocated big data and visual methods.
Nursing Shortage: Not a Simple Problem - No Easy Answers
Authors: Peterson Cheryl
Published: December 2023

The article examines the issue of nursing workforce planning within the present health system environment and addresses ethical issues related to the shortage. Numerous factors are influencing both the supply of registered nurses as well as the demand for nursing services. Of particular concern is the negative impact that the current nursing practice environment is having on the retention of registered nurses as well as the ability of the profession to recruit students. Other factors driving this present nursing shortage include the increasing age of working nurses and the potential for retirement; the aging of nursing faculty impacting the capacity of nursing schools; and poor wage compensation. The continual swing in the supply of and demand for nursing services will always be present; however, it is time that nursing sat at the policy-making table with the other decision makers to better anticipate the nature of these changes and how to address them.
The Nursing Shortage: Solutions for the Short and Long Term
Authors: Nevidjon Brenda , Erickson Jeanette
Published: December 2023

With predictions that this nursing shortage will be more severe and have a longer duration than has been previously experienced, traditional strategies implemented by employers will have limited success. The aging nursing workforce, low unemployment, and the global nature of this shortage compound the usual factors that contribute to nursing shortages. For sustained change and assurance of an adequate supply of nurses, solutions must be developed in several areas: education, healthcare deliver systems, policy and regulations, and image. This shortage is not solely nursing's issue and requires a collaborative effort among nursing leaders in practice and education, health care executives, government, and the media. This paper poses several ideas of solutions, some already underway in the United States, as a catalyst for readers to initiate local programs.

Intimate Partner Violence in African American Women
Authors: Campbell Doris , Sharps Phyllis , Gary Faye , Campbell Jacquelyn , Lopez Loretta
Published: December 2023

Violence against African American women, specifically intimate partner abuse, has a significant impact on their health and well being. Intimate partner femicide and near fatal intimate partner femicide are the major causes of premature death and disabling injuries for African American women. Yet, despite this, there is a paucity of research and interventions specific and culturally relevant for these women. This article focuses on issues relevant to intimate partner violence and abuse against African American women by examining existing empirical studies of prevalence and health outcomes of intimate partner violence against women in general, plus what limited research there is about African American women, specifically. It includes a discussion of specific recommendations for research, practice, education, and policy to reduce and prevent intimate partner violence against African American women.
The Relevance of Associate Degree Nursing Education: Past, Present, Future
Authors: Mahaffey Elizabeth
Published: December 2023

Associate degree nursing education remains a relevant choice for students entering the nursing profession. Since its introduction fifty years ago, associate degree nursing education has had a significant impact on the registered nursing population in the United States. The climate for a new type of nurse was created by a nursing shortage, the growth of community and junior colleges, and government and consumer interest. Evaluation of initial programs revealed that desired outcomes were met. A proliferation of associate degree nursing programs followed with there currently being more than 800 associate degree nursing programs in the nation. Controversy regarding associate degree nursing as an entry level for registered nurses has been evolving since its inception. Issues related to technical nursing versus professional nursing titles and roles, and differentiated roles have been divisive for the nursing profession. Current demographics reveal that associate degree nursing continues to make a positive impact on the registered nurse population, providing almost 60% of entry level graduates each year, and attracting a greater percentage of minority groups and males. Associate degree nursing representatives should be involved in defining the future of nursing. Societal needs for health care and individual rights for access to education should be considered. Collaborative efforts among the nursing organizations are essential to promoting recruitment and retention efforts.

This article describes how the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) responded to the September 11 tragedy, as an organization. Also included are anecdotes from APNA members who participated individually in the aftermath of this tragedy. Because such a traumatic event can result in psychiatric disorders, a brief synopsis of these disorders is included. The economic effects of emotional difficulties for our nation are explored, especially those related to the most serious disorder resulting from such a traumatic event, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Strategies that APNA is focusing on for the future, as a result of this tragedy, are presented.
Home Health Care Classification System (HHCC): An Overview
Authors: Saba Virginia
Published: December 2023

This paper provides an overview of the Home Health Care Classification (HHCC) System focusing on its two interrelated taxonomies: HHCC of Nursing Diagnoses and HHCC of Nursing Interventions both of which are classified by 20 Care Components. It highlights the major events that influenced its development, current status, and future uses. The two HHCC taxonomies and their 20 Care Components are used as a standardized framework to code, index, and classify home health clinical nursing practice. Further, they are used to document, electronically track, evaluate outcomes and analyze home health care over time, across settings, population groups, and geographic locations.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are devices that use microorganisms to produce electricity from organic matter. In this study, the bacterium Delftia acidovorans spp was used to evaluate energy generation in a single-chamber MFC. In this evaluation, six MFCs were assembled with different exchange membranes: two with carbon fiber composite membrane, two with maghemite membrane and two with heat-treated maghemite. Synthetic maghemite was characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements. Bioelectricity monitoring in the MFCs was conducted for 15 days, with data collected every 60 seconds. The cell that achieved the highest bioelectricity production was the one with heat-treated maghemite, reaching a production of 286.50mV. It used 100% leachate from fruit and vegetable waste as a substrate, starting with values of 365 mg/L of N-NH4, 96000 mg/L of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), 101500 mg/L of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and a pH of 4.11. In the results, the carbon fiber treatment had a higher removal efficiency percentage of up to 63.38% for BOD5 and 69.67% for COD. For ammonium nitrogen removal, all cells showed good removal efficiency of up to 92.49%. The pH value increased in all treatments due to the degradation of organic matter, reaching a value of up to 5.96. Thus, the efficiency of Delftia acidovorans spp. and carbon fiber are a good alternative as an exchange membrane in purifying leachate contaminants within an MFC.
Paired contractive mappings and fixed point results
Authors: Chand Deep , Rohen Yumnam
Published: December 2023

In this study, we explored a novel type of contraction, known as paired contraction (PC), to establish fixed points in metric spaces. It has been demonstrated that mappings possessing the PC property are continuous. We have also provided proofs for the existence of fixed points for such mappings with the classical Banach fixed point theorem emerging as a corollary. Furthermore, we presented examples of mappings that do not satisfy the standard contraction condition, but do exhibit the PC property.

Published: December 2023

Here, we report on numerical modelling of AlGaN/GaN HEMT terahertz detectors using a two-dimensional solver based on three Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) moments and the Poisson equation. We use the Synopsys TCAD Sentaurus program package, which offers a wide material database and the possibility to include traps and polarization charges for the formation of the channel without any doping. The implications of different levels of model simplifications are addressed both analytically and numerically. We calculated the current responsivity ℜI, to THz radiation on the drain voltage in the frequency range 0.01-3.0 THz for three AlGaN layer thicknesses d = 15, 20 and 25 nm and different gate lengths. We demonstrate that only a hydrodynamic model can reproduce the change in the sign in current responsivity at the gate voltage UG0 (ℜI = 0 at UG = UG0). The energy flux factor in the energy balance equation determines this effect. For the simulated structures, we find that the noise equivalent power may be as low as 0.1 pW/√Hz at 0.04 THz and 10 pW/√Hz at 3.0 THz.

This study reviews recent advances in the modern field of terahertz plasmonics concerning the control of resonant properties of grating-gate plasmonic crystal structures. Particularly, we conducted both experimental and theoretical investigations of AlGaN/GaN grating-gate structures with a focus on investigations of the resonant structure of transmission spectra associated with plasmon excitations in two-dimensional electron gas at different modulation degree of concentration profiles. Two distinct resonant phases of the plasmonic crystal structure were analyzed. The first one, the delocalized phase, is observed in the case of a small modulation degree of electron gas. In this phase, we found that plasmonic resonant absorption of incident radiation occurs across the entire grating-gate structure, with domination in the gated regions of the electron gas. In contrast, the second phase, the localized one, is realized at a strong modulation of the electron concentration profiles when the gated regions of the electron gas are completely depleted. Here, plasmon resonances are characterized by the spatial localization of absorption of incident radiation exclusively within the ungated regions of the electron gas. Moreover, in the localized phase, we observed the unexpected blue shift of plasmon resonant frequency with an increase of gate voltage. This observation was explained by the result of ‘edge gating effect’ and additional shrinking of the concentration profile of the electron gas in the ungated region. We demonstrate that the correct description of both phases requires rigorous electrodynamic simulations and cannot be achieved solely in the frameworks of simplified single-mode or single-cavity models.

The results of a comparative study on how the design of multiple quantum structures containing a parabolic barrier profile affects optical properties are presented. All quantum well (QW) structures were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on semi-insulating GaAs substrates. The investigated samples consisted of (i) double parabolic quantum wells (type A) or (ii) multiple (two or three) rectangular quantum wells surrounded by parabolic barriers (type B). The optical quality of samples was characterized performing room-temperature (RT-PL) and temperaturedependent photoluminescence (TD-PL) measurements. The investigation aimed at the optimization of a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure design for application in the gain region of near infrared (NIR) laser diodes (LDs) revealed benefits of both double parabolic quantum wells and a mixed design (rectangular MQW with parabolic barriers). The PL band position for all samples was registered in the vicinity around 1.19 eV, which corresponds to the Bi content in QW of ~4.4%. It was shown that all structures of type A exhibit an intense emission, while the intensity of photoluminescence measured for the samples of type B depends on the number of QWs. The weaker intensity of the PL signal from two QWs inserted between parabolic barriers was explained by a larger point defect density at low temperature grown inner GaAs barriers. The room-temperature PL intensity of the structure with three GaAsBi QWs embedded in one parabolic AlGaAs barrier was the highest one. The shift of PL peak position to lower energies (1.16 eV) was attributed to the slightly higher bismuth concentration, 4.9%.

Agricultural production is among the key techniques for alleviating extreme poverty, boosting economic stability, and feeding the 9.7 billion people expected to live by 2050. However, crop diseases are major obstacles to agriculture production. The most prevalent diseases that reduce production are late diseases which attack the leaves, which are particularly prevalent in coffee crops. To solve the issue, a suitable approach for identifying and categorizing these illnesses in this crop's leaf is required. Particularly in coffee crops, rust, coffee wilt, and brown spot are the most common diseases. Therefore, automatic identifying of these diseases through the system is critical. Thus, the main objective of this study is to design an automated system that can recognize and classify coffee leaf diseases' severity levels. Design science research methodology will follow. Accordingly, the required images have been collected from the SNNP.

Colorectal cancer holds a prominent place on the global health landscape. Its early detection is crucial for successful patient outcomes. Histological analysis of tissue samples plays an indispensable role in diagnosing and classifying colorectal cancer. Accurate classification is paramount, as it influences the choice of treatment and patient prognosis. This chapter investigates the statistics surrounding colorectal cancer, its vital role in the healthcare sector, and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in automating its diagnosis. This chapter proposes a ShuffleNetV2-CRNN (SCRNN), a novel deep learning architecture designed for colorectal cancer classification from histological images. SCRNN combines the efficiency of ShuffleNetV2 for feature extraction with the context-awareness of a convolutional-recurrent neural network for precise classification. SCRNN is evaluated against chosen deep models – Simple CNN, vGG16, ResNet-18, and MobileNet. Experimental results demonstrate appreciable performance of SCRNN across a diverse range of tissue types.

Astrocytes, once considered passive support cells in the central nervous system, are now recognized as dynamic contributors to neuronal processes. They play pivotal roles in regulating synaptic transmission, modulating excitability, and influencing synapse formation. These non-neuronal cells release gliotransmitters like glutamate, affecting synaptic activity. Dysfunctions in astrocytes are linked to neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. In neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, astrocytic dysfunction plays distinct roles. While astrocytes may not significantly contribute to Alzheimer's progression, they are involved in neuroinflammation, Aβ metabolism, and calcium regulation. Conversely, in Parkinson's, astrocytes contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction, impacting dopaminergic neurons. This comprehensive exploration sheds light on the intricate and multifaceted roles of astrocytes in cognition and their potential implications for therapeutic interventions in neurological and psychiatric conditions.
