Applications of integral equations to problems of mechanics, mathematical physics, engineering and economics inevitably lead the researcher to the analysis of the behavior of solutions near bifurcation points. In an arbitrarily small neighborhood of a bifurcation point, solutions begin to branch, and the homogeneous nonlinear model may acquire the potential for self-development. These potentials should be realized when controlling the system whose behavior the nonlinear model has been compiled to describe. The characteristic numbers of an integral homogeneous equation are “markers” near which its trivial solution turns into a “bundle” of nonzero solutions, each of which is a possible scenario for the development of the control nonlinear system. Several examples of finding bifurcation points for non-linear homogeneous integral equations are considered and their research is carried out.

This article, referring to the structural-infrastructure approach, carries out a conceptual division of labor market problems and labor market development problems. Labor market problems are the emerging difficulties in the functioning of the established mechanism of interaction between agents. Labor market development problems are understood as the difficulties that the economy faces when emerging from a crisis (when choosing a development path). A crisis marks a period when the established interaction mechanisms within the system of relations cannot fully respond to and resolve emerging challenges. As a result, the system of relations faces a choice – intensive (qualitative) or extensive (quantitative) transformation.
This conceptualization is considered using the example of the Russian labor market with a special focus on the prospects and risks of digitalization.
Pharmacist’s Role In Pharmacogenomics And Pain Management
Authors: - Dr. Nirlepkumar Patel
Published: February 2025

Medication for pain relief is an essential aspect of treatment. However, this area often becomes challenging when treating patients due to the heterogeneous reaction to the analgesic medication for each patient. The reliability of the medicine has improved with the increasing availability of information regarding pharmacogenomics, which is known to improve medicine by enabling it to be tailored to a person's unique genetic makeup. This review examines the polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 enzymes (for example, CYP2D6, CYP2C9) and other markers in OPRM1, COMT, and ABCB1 that have been shown to modify the efficacy and safety of pain medications. It also recommends how therapy can be optimized; for example, it suggests using opioids and NSAIDs based on the pharmacogenomic profile of the patient. The work of pharmacists in a multidisciplinary team in the interpretation of pharmacogenomic tests, modification of the treatment regimen, and communication with the patient regarding genetic testing is discussed, as well as their involvement in multidisciplinary teams. There are also positive developments in the reform of pharmacogenomic research and educational and legislative policy that mitigate barriers associated with the cost, availability, and inclusivity of participants. Pharmacogenomics can change the pain management practice by enhancing pharmacotherapy, managing side effects, and accelerating patient-centered care. Further, this article calls for more resources in the form of practical tools and training to help expand the use of pharmacogenomics and its applications more readily in direct patient care.

Variants of Ecofeminism: An Overview
Authors: - Dr. Himajyoti Doley
Published: February 2025

Ecofeminism is a social and political movement that connects environmental degradation to gender oppression, advocating for social justice and political democracy. It critiques both feminist and ecological movements, emphasizing the exploitation of women alongside environmental destruction, rooted in patriarchal and capitalist systems. Ecofeminists promote the intrinsic value of nature and women, aiming to dismantle hierarchical structures, while highlighting the unique relationship women have with the environment. Historical contributions from thinkers like Francoise d'Eaubonne and Rachel Carson shaped ecofeminist discourse, linking women’s subjugation to environmental issues. Core principles include gender equality, respect for nature, and holistic connections, advocating for transformative values for a just society. Ecofeminism has different faces that have developed under different circumstances and in different contexts. The paper is an attempt to make an overview about the different ecofeminist positions.

A Revisit into the Concepts, Measurements and Valuation of Customer Based Brand Equity and Financial Based Brand Equity
Authors: - Bhargav Jyoti Medhi , - Rinalini Pathak Kakati
Published: February 2025

Since 1980s studies on brand equity have been focused mainly from financial viewpoint, emphasizing on impact of financial indicators on the brand. However, from early 1990s, the studies of brand equity have concentrated on customer’s perspectives, thereby contributing to Customer-based brand equity models and theories. The objective of this paper is to do systematic review of literature on both Financial-based brand equity and Customer-based brand equity in order to identify the pattern of changes in brand equity research with respect to evolution of conceptual models and measurements. Review of all major studies have contributed that evaluation of brand equity faces several challenges, primarily due to the lack of a universal definition and methodology, which results in a diversity of valuation outcomes. The durability and longevity of brands add another layer of complexity to their assessment. The absence of a robust market for brands prevents real-world testing of valuation models, while confidentiality around these models hampers academic progress. Price-based measurements may fail to capture a brand’s entire value, and financial metrics often neglect the non-financial contributions to brand equity. Different measures, methods, and models have been used to examine the age between Customer-based brand equity and Financial-based brand equity, and have found varying results depending on the sample, context, time frame, and model parameters. However, a single specific methodology has not been able to gauge the impact of Financial based brand equity till date.
Adaptive Differential Privacy Mechanisms for Dynamic Threat Landscapes in Zero-Trust Architectures
Authors: - Mr. Pamba Shatson Fasco
Published: February 2025

The increasing complexity and dynamic nature of cyber threats in zero-trust architectures necessitates a more adaptive approach to differential privacy mechanisms. Current static privacy solutions fail to adequately address evolving threat landscapes, leading to potential vulnerabilities and reduced system efficiency. This research presents a novel adaptive differential privacy framework that dynamically adjusts privacy parameters based on real-time threat assessment within zero-trust environments. Our solution introduces an intelligent privacy budget optimization algorithm that continuously evaluates threat levels and automatically recalibrates privacy mechanisms to maintain optimal protection while minimizing performance overhead. Through extensive experimental evaluation using real-world datasets and simulated attack scenarios, we demonstrate that our adaptive approach achieves a 47% improvement in privacy preservation compared to static mechanisms, while maintaining system performance within acceptable thresholds. The framework successfully detects and responds to 94% of emerging threats within milliseconds, dynamically adjusting privacy parameters to counter identified risks. Our results show that the proposed solution effectively balances privacy protection, system performance, and threat responsiveness in zero-trust architectures. Additionally, we provide comprehensive implementation guidelines and identified key challenges for deploying adaptive differential privacy mechanisms in production environments. This research contributes to the advancement of privacy-preserving systems by introducing a practical, scalable solution for managing differential privacy in dynamic threat landscapes.

Authors: Zhang Yiyuan , Ong Tze San , Atqa Asna Abdullah
Published: February 2025

Based on empirical data from 1,826 rural enterprises during 2019-2023, this study systematically examines the promoting effect and working mechanism of corporate governance structure adjustment on audit quality in the context of digital transformation. The findings reveal that digital transformation significantly optimizes rural enterprise governance structures, with each standard deviation increase in digital transformation level leading to an average increase of 0.254 standard deviations in enterprise governance structure scores. However, significant regional differences exist, with the impact coefficient in eastern regions (0.312) notably higher than in central (0.245) and western regions (0.198). The optimization of governance structure has a significant promoting effect on audit quality, with research showing that each standard deviation increase in governance structure scores leads to a 0.308 standard deviation improvement in audit quality. Moreover, governance structure exerts a 54.52% mediating effect in the process of digital transformation influencing audit quality, with this promoting effect being more pronounced in large enterprises (impact coefficient 0.385). Additionally, regional economic development levels significantly moderate the relationship between digital transformation, governance structure, and audit quality. The level of digital infrastructure (interaction coefficient 0.145) and degree of agricultural industrialization (interaction coefficient 0.132) can significantly enhance the promoting effect of governance structure on audit quality, while policy support intensity shows a significant positive correlation with transformation effectiveness (coefficient 0.156). The research findings not only deepen the understanding of the relationship between rural enterprises' digital transformation and governance optimization but also provide empirical support for formulating differentiated regional development strategies.
Cooperative Games with Agreements Self-Implemented
Authors: Chen Jeanpantz
Published: February 2025

In classical cooperative game theory, it is often assumed that agreements are implemented by a third party, this paper provides an analytical framework for cooperative games with agreements self-implemented in three scenarios: (1) the possible opportunistic behaviors in the distribution process are ignored; (2) coalitions centralize all the payoffs their members get in the game to inhibit the possible opportunistic behaviors in the distribution process; (3) coalitions distribute their cooperative payoffs before the game begins to inhibit the possible opportunistic behaviors in the distribution process. In each scenario, this paper examines the formation of the coalitions and the distribution process of the cooperative payoff of a coalition, defines and provides the existence proof of the coalition equilibrium of a cooperative game with agreements self-implemented, defines and provides the existence proof of the equilibrium in the bargaining game of a coalition on the distribution of its cooperative payoff, when its members cooperate in the game or not.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become a fundamental part in various Internet of Things (IoT) applications, such as smart cities, industrial automation, and environmental monitoring. This paper focuses on utilizing Wi-Fi technology within WSNs due to its high data rates and widespread infrastructure, which are essential for real-time monitoring and control applications. We conduct a comparative analysis of popular wireless communication technologies, including ZigBee, Bluetooth, and LoRa, and identify Wi-Fi as a suitable option for scenarios requiring extensive data transmission. The system design involves using ESP32 microcontrollers as sensor nodes to collect and transmit data wirelessly to a central gateway. Performance evaluation demonstrates the reliability and efficiency of the Wi-Fi-based WSN, with notable improvements in data transmission reliability, reduced power consumption using Wi-Fi 6's Target Wake Time (TWT) feature, and low-latency performance suitable for real-time applications. Despite the challenges posed by high power consumption and susceptibility to interference, hybrid solutions combining Wi-Fi with other low-power technologies like ZigBee or LoRa are suggested to enhance energy efficiency and coverage. This study highlights Wi-Fi's potential in WSNs and its applicability to a wide range of IoT implementations.
Development of Maintenance Management System to Improve Reliability of Power Supply in Medium Voltage Distribution Network: A Case of TANESCO, Kinondoni North Region
Authors: Salanga Said Abdallah , Karugaba Sosthenes , Kiiza Respicius
Published: February 2025

The reliability of the power supply in medium voltage distribution networks is crucial in the Kinondoni North region due to the growing demand for reliable electricity, increasing by approximately 20 MW per year. However, power supply reliability is compromised by several factors such as aging infrastructure, equipment failures, vandalism, natural disasters like storms and floods etc. These issues contribute to faults in the distribution feeders, causing power interruptions. Key challenges include identifying the location of faults, restoring power efficiently, and managing network maintenance. This research aims to develop a Maintenance Management System (MMS) to manage both maintenance and operational activities in medium voltage distribution networks, enhancing the efficiency of operations and improving power supply reliability in medium voltage distribution networks in the region. To achieve this, factors affecting maintenance management were identified through a literature review, assessment, and site surveys. Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS and a regression model was developed to improve reliability. The analysis revealed six most significant factors out of ten factors that influence power supply reliability are Budget Constraints, Network Design, Fault Detection & Isolation Equipment, Maintenance Practices, Data and Information Management, and Skilled Labor. The model developed had high predictive accuracy, with R=0.915, indicating that these factors significantly predict the reliability of the power supply. To improve reliability, the study recommends adopting the reliability performance model and MMS in the Kinondoni north region. Key recommendations include investing in workforce development, training employees on advanced fault detection technologies, implementing smart grid technologies for real-time data monitoring, optimizing grid design with redundancy, and adopting predictive maintenance based on condition monitoring. These strategies will reduce downtime and improve the overall reliability of the power supply in the medium voltage distribution network
Unraveling aromaticity: the dual worlds of pyrazole, pyrazoline, and 3D carborane
Authors: Noori Zahra , Solà Miquel , Viñas Clara , Teixidor Francesc , Poater Jordi
Published: February 2025

A new series of o-carborane-fused pyrazoles has been recently successfully synthesized. This fusion was expected to create a hybrid 3D/2D aromatic system, combining the 3D aromaticity of o-carborane with the 2D aromaticity of pyrazole. However, while the boron cage retains its aromatic character, the pyrazole’s aromaticity is lost. As a result, rather than forming o-carborane-fused pyrazoles, the synthesis yielded o-carborane-fused pyrazolines, which are non-aromatic. The limited overlap between the π molecular orbitals (MOs) of the planar heterocycle and the n + 1 MOs of the carborane prevents significant electronic delocalization between the two fused components. This contrasts with the fusion of pyrazole and benzene to form indazole, where both rings maintain their 2D aromaticity. Our findings demonstrate that the peripheral σ-aromaticity of carborane and the π-aromaticity of the heterocycle are orthogonal, making a true 3D/2D aromatic system unachievable. The carborane is highly aromatic, generating highly negative NICS values (−25 to −30 ppm). We have observed that these high NICS values extend to fused rings, leading to incorrect estimations of aromaticity. Therefore, relying solely on NICS can be misleading, and other computational indicators, along with experimental or structural data, should be used to accurately assess aromaticity.
Pandemi Covid-19 adalah 666?
Authors: Christina Endah
Published: February 2025

Hampir di setiap peristiwa sejarah, ketika terjadi krisis politik, ekonomi, sosial atau pandemi, seringkali diikuti adanya Teori Konpirasi. Pada pertengahan Februari, ketika WHO menyatakan bahwa corona Covid-19 adalah pandemi, Teori Konspirasi Corona muncul. Versi pertama menyebutkan bahwa virus ini tidak berbahaya. Pencetusnya adalah Presiden Donald Trump. Versi kedua yang tak kalah populer menyebutkan bahwa virus ini dibuat di lab Wuhan sebagi senjata biologi. Menurut teori ini, Bill Gates dkk atau China atau WHO adalah para konspirator jahat yang nantinya akan menyediakan vaksinnya. Vaksin itu akan diisi dengan teknologi 5G dan ditanamkan di dahi atau telapak tangan manusia. Lambangnya 666. Hasilnya, 666 dalam Kitab Wahyu menunjuk Kaisar Domotianus, Si Nero Redivivus. Arti 666 pada masa sekarang tidak menunjuk pada Bill Gates dkk atau corona. Orang Kristen tidak perlu takut disuntik vaksin Covid-19 jika seandainya vaksin itu sudah ditemukan, sebab vaksin itu tidak berhubungan dengan teknologi 5G dan 666, tanda di dahi dan telapak tangan. Dalam menghadapinya, orang Kristen harus kritis dan analitis terhadap berita di media sosial, sebab Teori Konspitasi itu bersifat pseudoscience. Pseudoscience adalah pengetahuan tentang fenomena material yang mengklaim sebagai" sains "namun menggunakan proses pembuktian yang tidak ilmiah.

AbstrakKarunia-karunia Roh Kudus memiliki tiga klasifikasi, salah satu di antaranya adalah karunia lima jawatan, yaitu rasul, nabi, penginjil, gembala, dan pengajar. Eksistensi mengenai jawatan rasul dan nabi ini kerap dipertentangkan dalam agama Kristen sendiri. Begitu pula halnya dengan gereja yang bersifat apostolik, banyak juga yang mempertentangkan istilah “gereja apostolik” ini oleh karena mereka menganggap bahwa jawatan rasul telah terhenti bersamaan dengan berakhirnya hidup para rasul di abad pertama. Untuk itu, penulis mengangkat topik “Peran Pelayanan Kerasulan dan Kenabian dalam Membangun Gereja yang Apostolik”, untuk menyadarkan gereja bahwa karunia jawatan rasul dan nabi belum berhenti dan bahkan akan terus melanjutkan eksistensinya hingga kedatangan Kristus untuk yang kedua kali, juga untuk mengajak gereja untuk kembali kepada konsep gereja mula-mula, yaitu kepada konsep gereja yang bersifat apostolik yang membangun dan mengutus. Metode penelitian yang penulis gunakan adalah metode studi kepustakaan. Adapun kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pelayanan kerasulan dan kenabian dengan fungsinya masing-masing berperan besar dalam meletakkan dasar pondasi yang kuat dalam Tubuh Kristus agar Tubuh Kristus mencapai kesatuan iman dan kedewasaan penuh di dalam Kristus, agar anggota-anggota Tubuh Kristus tidak diombang-ambingkan oleh rupa-rupa angin pengajaran, melainkan bertumbuh menuju keserupaan dengan Kristus.AbstractThe gifts of the Holy Spirit have three classifications, one of which is the five-fold ministry, namely apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. The existence of the ministry of apostles and prophets is often contested in Christianity itself. Likewise with the apostolic church, many also argue against the term “apostolic church” because they think that the ministry of apostles has ceased along with the end of the life of the apostles in the first century. For this reason, the author raised the topic “The Role of Apostolic and Prophetic Ministries in Building an Apostolic Church”, to make the church aware that the gift of the ministry of apostles and prophets has not stopped and will even continue to exist until the second coming of Christ, as well as to invite the church to return to the concept of the early church, namely to the concept of an apostolic church that builds and sends. The research method that the author used is a literature study method. The conclusion of this research is that the apostolic and prophetic ministry with their respective functions play a major role in laying a strong foundation in the Body of Christ so that the Body of Christ achieves unity of faith and full maturity in Christ, so that the members of the Body of Christ are not tossed about by every wind of teaching, but growing toward Christlikeness.

Artikel ini merupakan suatu penelitian tentang “Dua Saksi Allah” dalam Wahyu 11:3-6.  Teks ini merupakan salah satu bagian dalam kitab Wahyu yang menjadi perdebatan oleh berbagai kelompok penafsiran.  Banyaknya perdebatan identifikasi kedua saksi Allah tersebut, membatasi penulis paling tidak terdapat dua kelompok utama yang mempunyai penafsiran yang berbeda-beda terhadap topik tersebut.  Pertama, kelompok yang menafsirkan bahwa kedua saksi Allah adalah kedua figur eskatologis dalam Perjanjian Lama yaitu: Elia dan Henokh, juga Elia dan Musa.  Kedua, kelompok yang menafsirkan bahwa kedua saksi Allah adalah kedua figur historis dalam Perjanjian Baru yaitu Petrus dan Paulus.  Melalui proses studi eksegesis dengan pendekatan historico-gramatical ditemukan ternyata kedua saksi Allah tersebut sebagai simbol perwakilan gereja, orang percaya yang dengan suara kenabian akan menyampaikan berita Allah meskipun di tengah-tengah penganiayaan.
MEMPERKUAT PENGGEMBALAAN PENTAKOSTA BAGI PENDIDIKAN KRISTEN DI INDONESIA

Published: February 2025

Artikel ini berjudul Memperkuat Pengembalaan Pentakosta untuk Peserta Didik Kristen di Indonesia berdasarkan Matius 9:35-38.  Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah agar setiap pendidik Kristen di Indonesia dapat memperkuat pengembalaan Pentakosta bagi Peserta Didiknya.  Setiap peserta didik Kristen dapat digembalakan secara misional dan holistik. Artikel ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan menggunakan sumber-sumber yang kompatibel dan berbagai literatur yang mendukung. Penulis menemui bahwa Matius 9:35-38 tidak hanya dipahami sebagai strategi penginjilan dan pelayanan yang terintegrasi, tetapi juga dipahami sebagai suatu teks yang menekankan pengembalaan Pentakosta untuk Peserta Didik Kristen di Indonesia.  Frase, “karena mereka lelah dan terlantar seperti domba yang tidak bergembala” (aya 36) memberikan petunjuk bahwa dalam realita dan dinamika hidup Peserta Didik Kristen di Indonesia, kerapkali mereka lelah dan terlantar seperti domba yang tidak bergembala.  Oleh karena itu, mereka perlu digembalakan.  Mereka adalah jemaat yang menggereja di sekolah.  Sekolah harusnya dipandang sebagai gereja.  Dengan demikian, setiap  pendidik Kristen pun perlu semakin diperkuat untuk menggembalakan setiap peserta didik Kristen di sekolah.  Mereka tidak hanya mengemban jabatan struktural, tetapi juga peran fungsional yang dimainkan di mana setiap Pendidik Kristen perlu menggembalakan peserta didiknya.
Nakş-ı Cihan Meydanı: Mekân, Mimari ve Kronoloji

XVI. yüzyılın sonlarında Safevî Devleti’nin üçüncü payitahtı tayin edilen İsfahan, saray ve hanedan mensuplarının himaye ettiği inşa faaliyetleri sayesinde pek çok yeni kentsel mekân ve anıtsal yapı kazanmış ve yeni bir başkente dönüşmüştür. Yeni payitahtın en önemli kentsel mekânları arasında, I. Abbas’ın himayesinde başkentin yeni ticari, dinî, sosyal ve törensel merkezi olarak inşa edilen Nakş-ı Cihan Meydanı yer alır. İsfahan’ın Safevî payitahtı olmadan önceki ticari, dinî ve sosyal-törensel merkezi olan Harun-ı Velayet Meydanı’nın güneyinde yer alan Nakş-ı Cihan Meydanı, dört kenarı farklı işlevlere sahip yapılarla çevrelenmiş, geniş dikdörtgen bir mekândır. Meydanın etrafı, iki sıralı ve çift katlı dükkânlardan müteşekkil, üstü kapalı bir çarşıyla çevrilidir. Dört kenarının her birinde, hepsi Şah Abbas tarafından inşa ettirilen farklı anıtsal yapılar yer alır. Mekânın kuzey kenarında Kayseriye Pazarı, batı cephesinde Ali Kapu Sarayı, doğusunda Şeyh Lütfullah Mescidi ve güneyinde Şah Mescidi bulunur. İki aşamada inşa edilen meydanın ve etrafındaki yapıların tamamlanması yaklaşık kırk yıl sürmüştür. Bu makalede, Nakş-ı Cihan Meydanı’nın mekânsal kurgusu, mimari unsurları ve inşa kronolojisi, ikincil kaynaklar, mekânda yapılan gözlemler, Safevî kronikleri ve Batılı seyyahların anlatıları ışığında ele alınacaktır. Çalışmada, Nakş-ı Cihan Meydanı ve etrafındaki yapıların, I. Abbas’ın dinî, ticari ve siyasi ajandası etkisinde şekillendiği iddia edilmektedir. Söz konusu mekânda, anıtsal mimari, kitabeler ve duvar resimleri aracılığıyla şahın siyasi, askerî ve dinî otoritesi ile İmâmiyye mezhebini ve ticareti himayesinin temsil edildiği savunulmaktadır.
