Authors: R. M Mokhlesur , C. A Tahmid , S Hassan , M Zubaer , M Awang , M Hasan
Published: December 2023

The plant is also known as hemp, although this term is often used only to refer to varieties of cannabis cultivated for non-drug use. Cannabis has long been used as hemp fiber, hemp seeds and their oil, hemp leaves as vegetable and juice, for medicinal purposes and as a recreational drug. It has been widely used specifically in incense, peaceful sleep for cancer affected patients and traditional medicine. Its common uses include treating knee joint pain, inflammatory-related complaints, diarrhea, and a tonic, sedative, and cardio caring agent. Cannabis sativa is the hemp plant from which marijuana and cannabinoids (leaves, stems, seeds) are derived. The most potent form of this plant's extracts is hash oil, a liquid. Quantum computing, on the other hand, offers unprecedented computational power and can revolutionize various scientific fields. The study's goal is to explore the potential of quantum computing to enhance the extraction process. By employing quantum algorithms, the project aims to optimize critical parameters such as pressure, temperature, and extraction time, leading to improved efficiency and higher yields. Quantum simulations will model the behavior of CO2 as a supercritical fluid within the cannabis matrix, supplying insights into the complex dynamics of the extraction process. Finally, the use of quantum algorithms promises to ease the development of more efficient and sustainable extraction methods, resulting in the production of high-quality cannabis-derived products with enhanced medicinal and industrial applications.

The primary objective of this research was to delve into the forced degradation products of Rilpivirine hydrochloride (RLP HCl), a crucial non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor employed inmanagement of epidemic disease named HIV-1. The investigation utilised the probable of RP-HPLC in tandem with peak purity assessment .In order to simulate conceivable degradation pathways, the study encompassed a gamut of stress conditions like acidic, alkaline, oxidative , thermal and photolytic environments. Authors used Agilent zorbaxEclipse XDB C18 column (150x2.1mm, 1.8µm), RLP and impurities were separated. Buffer as pH of 3.0 and acetonitrile in gradient mode (68:32v/v), flow rate of 0.55ml/min. Volume injected is 3µL and detection wavelength is 220 nm. Temperature is maintained at 55oC by 70:30v/v mixture of water and acetonitrile.System suitability was erect to be within the limits. The average percentage recoveries for impurities were 98% to 101%.The outcomes of this meticulous study unveiled the susceptibilities of RLP to a spectrum of stress factors, in the generation of impurity profile RLP-Amide A, RLP-Amide Band Z-RLP with peak purities. The forced degradation tests demonstrate that the peak of RP-HPLC is spectroscopically pure in all stressed conditions. All degradation products are separated from the main peak and do not interfere with main substance. This exploration not only augments the comprehension of RLP’s stability profile but also underscores the pivotal role of analytical techniques in upholding the safety and efficacy benchmarks of pharmaceutical formulations.
Novel Magnetism and Band Gap Tailoring in N-doped CdS:Cr Nanocomposites for Optomagnetic Applications
Authors: Reddy M Surya Sekhar , Kumar Y B Kishore
Published: December 2023

Nitrogen and chromium co-doped cadmium sulfide nanocomposites (NCps) were successfully synthesized using a simple co-precipitation method (Cpm). To evaluate their structural attributes, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, conducted with X’pert high score plus software, confirmed the composite nature and established their particle size within the nano range, measuring between 1 to 1.6 nm. Further characterization, employing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirms the presence of Cr and N. The energy dispersive X- ray spectroscopy (EDX) provided compelling evidence of the integration of chromium and nitrogen into the CdS host matrix. An interesting outcome of the UV-VIS diffused reflectance spectra (DRS) analysis was the significant blue shift observed in the band gap resulting from the introduction of chromium, accompanied by a Burstein-Moss effect, leading to a red shift as the nitrogen concentration increased. The intense green light emission witnessed in photoluminescence (PL) studies was associated with the trapping of nitrogen and Cr2+ within F- centers. Moreover, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) investigations unveiled distinct magnetic behaviors of the nanocomposites, particularly at low magnetic fields. These findings reveal a potential for tailoring band gaps and presenting novel magnetic properties, which could hold substantial promise for applications in optomagnetic and spintronic smart devices.

Published: December 2023

A novel economic thin layer chromatographic method for stereoselective separation of racemic mixture of (RS)-Indapamide and determination of their enantiomers was done. The method was based on using normal TLC plates and  cyclodextrin with hydroxylic part, was used as the chiral selector. Cyclodextrin was used as an additive in silica gel to prepare a TLC plate which was a non-covalent bonding, and there was no chiral substance added in the solvent system. The mobile phase was toluene-ethyl acetate-MeOH-glacial AcOH (6:4:1:0.1). Cyclodextrin was also added to mobile phase, and there was no chiral selector in the stationary phase. The mobile phase was a mixture of toluene-ethyl acetate-MeOH-glacial AcOH – 5mM CD (6:4:1:0.1:1.0). The spots were then isolated and identified. The impact of the componentsofmobile phase, temperature, and pHwas studied for the finding the best separation conditions. The spots were sited in a chamber which had Iodine granules.

From Social Structures to Techno-Economic Paradigms: Comparison of Four Phases of Capitalism Theories
Authors: Csontos Tamás T.
Published: December 2023

The 2008 great financial crisis brought the question of the cyclical development of capitalism back to the center of political economy. To understand the nature of post-crisis capitalism, it is inevitable to evaluate the literature on the temporal phases of capitalism. This article presents four theories about the periodization of capitalism: the social structure of accumulation theory, regulation theory, techno-economic paradigm approach and systemic cycles of accumulation school. The article shows that, despite the different perspectives, each of the phasing approaches leads to similar results about the periods of capitalism. Moreover, the article concludes that every phase of capitalism has four elements: techno-economic paradigm, socio-institutional structures, demand regime and hegemonic state.

Authors: Santana Ted , Muñoz Christian , Chunnilall Christopher
Published: December 2023

The ability to discriminate the number of photons in a radiation field has a critical role in the implementation of quantum optical technologies. True photon-number-resolving detectors are rare and complex devices, while a quasi-photon-number-resolving detector (qPNRD) is a practical alternative for real-world applications. Our qPNRD is composed of a fibre demultiplexer and individual non-photon-number-resolving detectors. We perform quantum tomography on our qPNRD based on the positive operator-valued measure and extend the analysis using the Bayesian formalism to uncover how the measurement influences knowledge of the measured photon probability distribution.

Published: December 2023

The article discusses problematic issues of the powers of the prosecutor in relation to the powers of otherentities carrying out criminal prosecution in criminal cases being processed by the investigative bodies. Theauthors come to the conclusion that unlike subjects who have the right to implement the function of criminalprosecution in criminal cases handled by the bodies of inquiry (inquiry body, investigator, head of the inquirybody, head of the inquiry unit) the prosecutor does not directly implement the function of criminal prosecutionin criminal cases of this category. At the same time the prosecutor has the authority to direct the criminalprosecution in criminal cases being processed by the investigative bodies as well as the authority to exercise thefunction of prosecutorial supervision over the bodies and officials carrying out criminal prosecution in criminalcases being processed by the investigative bodies. In addition depriving the prosecutor of the right to initiatecriminal proceedings is not consistent with the implementation of criminal prosecution.
A Dirty Little Secret
Authors: Judson Gillian
Published: December 2023

This article describes my tumultuous journey studying imagination in a graduate leadership seminar using an arts-based pedagogy called Performative Inquiry. Focusing on my own teaching and learning in this course, I share insights that inform my future teaching and can support colleagues interested in exploring imagination with their students. I accepted risks associated with arts-based performances and entered a shared space of vulnerability with my students. My struggles with resistance were real, and so too was the realization of the important role vulnerability plays in imagination-focused (leadership) education. I suggest that Performative Inquiry offers other (leadership) educators a powerful pedagogy and methodology for understanding imagination in their own lives and inquiring into their leadership education practices. Arts-based practices allow learners to feel their own imaginations and experience possibility by accepting invitations to be vulnerable, performing learning in a range of productive and generative ways.

How the Future Shapes Consumption with Time-Inconsistent Preferences
Authors: Feigenbaum James , Raei Sepideh
Published: December 2023

Time-inconsistent preferences, which are modeled by relative discount functions, are a common explanation for the empirical finding that lifecycle profiles of household consumption are typically hump-shaped rather than monotonic. More precisely, time-inconsistent preferences that are present-biased often generate a hump-shaped consumption profile over the lifecycle. We develop a general framework for understanding present bias in consumption through a future weighting factor that perturbs the discount factor of utility at future periods away from exponential discounting. Using our framework we derive necessary and sufficient conditions on the future weighting factors for the log consumption profile to be locally concave. We find that these conditions, which are necessary for the consumption profile to be hump-shaped, are stronger than just assuming a present bias. Furthermore, we explore the conditions under which the consumption profile determined in the first period of life Pareto dominates the realized consumption profile. Lastly, we explore the interconnections between these two sets of conditions, elucidating the linkages between the determinants of hump-shaped consumption profiles and the conditions necessary for the initial consumption path to achieve Pareto dominance.
“And the House Burned Down”: HIV, Intimacy, and Memory in Danez Smith’s Poetry
Authors: Juncosa Toni R.
Published: December 2023

Danez Smith’s [insert] boy (2014) not only bears witness to the intricacy of the intersection between queerness and Blackness in the United States of the twenty-first century, but also illustrates an overcoming of multiple forms of oppression through poetry. In Smith’s second collection Don’t Call Us Dead (2017), this experience is further complicated when a positive HIV diagnosis enters the equation. This paper wonders about the possibility of reading the speaker's account of HIV as following a narrative arc from anxiety to agency. With this idea in mind, and probing into issues such as intimacy, kinship, memory, and the notion of home, this paper presents a comparative analysis of Danez Smith’s poetry focusing on the metaphors used to explore the penetration of HIV into the body and the alterations this experience imposes on the perception of intimacy and memory.

Objectives

Seasonal environment at birth may influence diabetes incidence in later life. We sought evidence for this effect and analyzed the association between the month of birth and the risk of developing type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Methods

This was a cohort study carried out with 814 patients diagnosed with T1DM in the region of Bauru – São Paulo State, Brazil, receiving medical care in a private Endocrinology clinic or in the public Brazilian National Health Care System, from 1981 to 2021. All live births that occurred in São Paulo State between 1974 and 2020 were classified by month of birth and were considered as the control group.

Results

We found no statistically significant difference (χ2=16.31, critical 19.68) between the month of birth and risk of developing T1DM, when comparing our patients with the background population of the region. There was no association between the month of birth, sex, age at diagnosis, duration of symptoms before diagnosis, self-reported color, and socioeconomic status.

Conclusions

We found no association between month of birth and the risk of developing T1DM in this highly admixed South American population. Our data suggest that our population heterogeneity and geographic location may be important factors in the development of T1DM. Future prospective studies, evaluating environmental factors that may confer risk or protection to the disease, are warranted.

Ibn Tofail University of Kenitra, Morocco, is committed to a national policy of control and mobilization of water resources and the adoption of a planning approach and integrated water management. Within this framework, the university, which contains 40,000 students, produces a quantity of wastewater of 200 m3 per day. After treatment, the water is used for watering the university’s green space. The treatment process chosen is a membrane bioreactor (MBR), which is considered to be energy intensive. Therefore, the production of energy for the station will be made by renewable energy wind and photovoltaic (PV). The dimensioning of the MBR was made by a research department, which estimated that the energy necessary for the station is 1061.76 kW h/day. The aim of this work is to dimension and optimize the platform for the production of energy, using the Matlab program for the wind turbine and the PVsyst program for PV. The results of coupling our plant with an on-grid PV system and wind turbine show that it was able to reach an electrical coverage of about 72% of the wastewater treatment (WWT) plant’s energy needs. Thus, an estimated reduction of electricity of 0.53 euro on each m3 of water produced by the WWT plant and thus 106.76 euro on the 200 m3 produced daily by the station.

Hyflex CM and EDM from Shape Memory to Control Memory.
Authors:   Endodontist, Department of Dentistry, Al-Yarmok University College., Abu Al Timan Jamal A. , Al Zaka Iman M. , Zeidan Baidaa M.
Published: December 2023

The new era in endodontics has been established with the introduction of nickel titanium (NiTi) alloys, and later on the automation of mechanical preparation. By changing the phase transformation temperatures of NiTi alloy, the manufacturers alter the phase composition to have a NiTi with new mechanical properties. These mechanical properties can be achieved either by thermal, mechanical treatments or both. Moreover, many machining procedures (e.g. twisting, electrical discharge machining), were developed. The higher flexibility of thermomechanically treated NiTi alloys was found as the main advantages of these alloys with the improvement of cyclic fatigue resistance when compared to conventional NiTi. Austenitic alloys have superelastic properties due to stress-induced martensite transformation and consequently try to springback to their original shape after distortion. In contrast, the martensitic instruments have ability to reorientation of martensite variants when heated. So these instruments easily deformed and show a shape memory effect. Moreover, the use of martensitic alloy results in more flexible files, with an increased cyclic fatigue resistance compared with austenitic alloy. So, continued development in the manufacturing treatment of NiTi alloys has resulted in the producing of controlled memory (CM) wire. These materials do not possess superelastic properties at neither room nor body temperature. This article reviews the development process, features and properties of Hyflex file and Hyflex EDM file made from CM wire. Keywords: NiTi alloy, CM wire, Hyflex EDM, Heat treated NiTi

“A not admitting of the wound”
Authors: Hale Casey
Published: December 2023

This essay contextualizes my recent studio EP, Tender Carpenter, a cross-genre setting of an envelope poem by Emily Dickinson that uses electric guitar in 19-tone equal temperament, voice, and virtual instruments. I reflect on microtonality as a mode of Queer musicality and its personal significance in my own coming-out as bisexual in mid-life, drawing connections to the cultural and formal significance of Dickinson’s work. I situate my use of microtonal music theory within discourses of “purity” and “nature” inherited from just intonation, exploring temperament as a Queering gesture toward ambiguity that opens onto alternate paths, referencing Sara Ahmed’s Queer Phenomenology. I discuss the role of embodiment and the interactions between performer and altered instruments—the 19-tone guitar, the pitch- and formant-shifted voice—as tools of disorientation and play with musical relationships and gendered identities. And I reflect on the role-play involved in musical genre, referencing Jack Halberstam’s The Queer Art of Failure.
Legalization of Medical Marijuana in Indonesia from the Human Rights Perspectives: Lessons Learned from Three ASEAN Countries
Authors: Yustina Endang Wahyati , Simandjuntak Marcella Elwina , Nasser Mohamad , Blum John D , Trajera Sheilla M.
Published: December 2023

Marijuana (cannabis) as a therapeutic medication has been used and recognized as part of the health system in several countries. In contrast, marijuana in Indonesia is classified as a class I narcotic under Law Number 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, which is prohibited and cannot be used as medication. However, a detailed examination of the Narcotics Act reveals some loopholes and ambiguities that could be exploited to legalize marijuana as a medication to cure certain illnesses. The present study employs normative legal research, specifically a statutory approach, to justify using marijuana for medical purposes. In addition, a legal comparative method is also used in this study to analyze the use of medical marijuana in three ASEAN countries: Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. Despite having a reputation for having highly stringent regulations on narcotics, Indonesia can benefit from the experiences of other ASEAN nations, such as Singapore and Malaysia, who have legalized medical marijuana. This consideration is prompted by the fact that certain individuals have shared positive outcomes from using ‘illegal’ medical marijuana as a form of health treatment. However, it is disheartening to note that these individuals have also had to witness the unfortunate loss of their loved ones and, in some cases, face legal consequences such as imprisonment. Conducting comprehensive research on the use of medicinal marijuana in Indonesia is crucial to upholding the citizens' right to health, as the right to health is a significant component of human rights.

Published: December 2023

This research examines pre-service physical education teachers' (PPETs’) beliefs on the physical education profession (BPEP). A convergent mixed-method research design was administered. The descriptive information form, PPET-BPEP, and open-ended questions were used to collect the data. 218 PPETs’ studying in PETE program and pedagogical formation certificate program participated in this research. Non-parametric tests were used for quantitative data, and content analysis was used for qualitative data. While gender did not differ significantly between the programs, there was a significant difference in the "value of PE profession" sub-domain. There is a substantial difference between those whose first career choice is PE teacher and those who don't, and those who want to become a PE teacher after graduation and those who don't. Those whose first career choice is PE teaching tend to this profession for reasons such as having an athlete identity, dream job, role model effect, and a desire to make children love and teach sports. Those who want to be a PE teacher after graduation stated the following reasons for their preference: want to endear sports to children, love and want to take care of children, dream job, want to explain the importance of the profession, want to be involved in sports and some features of the work. In conclusion, it is recommended that more research should be done on PPETs’ beliefs on the PE profession.
Developing a Model Proposal to Evaluate the Authenticity of Traditional Housing; Malatya Case Study
Authors: Şahin Murat , Eroğlu Bahtiyar
Published: December 2023

Anatolia has been used as a settlement area by many civilizations throughout history due to its geopolitical and geographical features. Traditional houses in Anatolia convey the thousands of years of culture and identity of the region where they are located, with their unique architectural style. In this respect, traditional houses appear as the most important cultural heritage values that convey information such as the social, cultural, economic and architectural style of the period. Historical textures have been in change and transformation in the Malatya region, as in every region of Anatolia. However, Malatya has largely lost its traditional houses and texture due to many reasons such as rapid urbanization, unconsciousness, rent, and the destructive effect of time.
In this study, which was prepared by addressing this problem, Fuzzy Logic and AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) analysis system was used in order to evaluate the authenticity of civil architectural examples located in traditional tissue pieces in the urban area of Malatya and to protect these structures. Thus, it is aimed to develop an authenticity assessment method together with the experts of the subject (conservation experts, architectural historians, art historians). It is aimed to determine the authenticity of the buildings numerically and proportionally with the authenticity evaluation model developed with a systematic setup. Ahmet Kökçü House, located in Yakınca Neighborhood, was chosen as the study area due to reasons such as the fact that it largely preserved its traditional texture as a field study and faced extinction as a result of the rapid urbanization of Malatya's central city wall reaching the border of Yeşilyurt district. With the authenticity assessment model developed in this context, the authenticity of the building was determined by experts and suggestions were made for the preservation of the building.

This study evaluates Foraminiferal assemblages and their relation with grain size, calcium carbonate content, organic matter, and mineralogy of sediment samples collected at the sediment-water interface along a transect on the northern continental shelf of Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil, adjacent to the city of Areia Branca. The sedimentary sequence of this shelf is represented by lithostratigraphic units of a marine regressive sequence dominated by four facies: Siliciclastic sand, Silicibioclastic Sand, carbonate mud, and Biosiliciclastic sand. The carbonate content ranged from 5.83% to 85% and the organic matter content from 1.16% to 27.05%. Mineralogical characters separated the predominant siliciclastic content (37% to 92%) from the bioclastic content (8% to 63%). We have identified 14 species out of 50 species of Foraminifera, associated to particular depths and sediment types as follows: (1)deeper-water sediments in the middle shelf contain Bolivina striatula, Bulimina marginata, Triloculina trigonula, Pyrgo ringens, Textularia gramen (2)the shallowest sediments in the inner shelf contain Ammonia tepida, Buccella peruviana, Miliolinella subrotunda, and Quinqueloculina patagonica, (3)the central parts of the transect, also in the inner shelf, provide habitats for Quinqueloculina lamarckiana, Textularia earlandi, Buliminella elegantissima, Discorbis peruvianus, and Pyrgo nasuta. The distribution of Uvigerina striata and Buccella peruviana is probably related to colder water temperatures and possibly the occurrence of an upwelling phenomenon for the deepest parts of the area rather than the sedimentological features discussed here.
Reassessment of Maikop Culture Influences on the Communities of the Northern Pontic
Region: Case Study of the Burial Checheliivka 3/1
Authors: Ivanov M. S.
Published: December 2023

The reinterpretation of a vessel from the previous excavations which was beleived
to be of the Maikop culture inspired the author to revise artefacts of the Maikop
culture and their imitations in the Ukrainian steppe. As a result, it was concluded that
the scale of the Maikop culture’s influence on the Steppe communities is
overestimated.
A kulturális és gazdasági tőke jellegzetességei a Szegedre járó, magyar állampolgársággal is rendelkező szerbiai hallgatók körében
Authors: Hegedűs Anita
Published: December 2023

A határon túli magyar hallgatók egyedi csoportot alkotnak a magyar felsőoktatási
szektorban: lakhelyükhöz képest külföldön folytatják tanulmányaikat, azonban
hasonló kulturális környezetbe érkeznek, anyanyelvükön tanulnak. A Szegedi
Tudományegyetem határon túli hallgatói között legnagyobb arányban Szerbiából
érkező diákokat találunk a határ közelsége miatt. Tanulmányunkban a szegedi
egyetemen tanuló, nappali tagozatos, kettős magyar állampolgárságú hallgatókat
vizsgáló kutatásunk eredményeinek egy szeletét mutatjuk be: a gazdasági és
kulturális tőkéjük mellett magaskulturális fogyasztásukat is vizsgáljuk. Célunk
bemutatni, hogy a korábbi vizsgálatokhoz képest milyen jellegzetességekkel
bírnak, magas(abb) kulturális és gazdasági tőkével rendelkeznek-e.
A hallgatók közötti tudásátadás vetületei egy gazdasági felsőoktatási intézményben

Published: December 2023

A tudásátadás fontossága és tanulmányozása napjainkban a kutatások középpontjába
került. A felsőoktatási intézmények e folyamat bástyái. Empirikus vizsgálatunk
elméleti megalapozása során a bevett fogalmak tisztázását követően Magyarország
egyik legnagyobb gazdasági intézményében végeztünk kutatást. A hallgatói
tudástranszfer egyes elemeire fókuszáltunk. Elemzésünkben nem a hatások
azonosítására törekszünk, hanem a tudásátadás intenzitásának bemutatására egy
felsőoktatási intézményben, nemcsak az oktató-hallgató, hanem a
hallgató-hallgató dimenziójában is. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy szükség van
rá, hogy a tanulókat arra ösztönözzük, hogy aktívan osszák meg egymással
tudásukat az órák után is. A jelenlegi rendszerben a hallgatók egymás közötti
tudásátadása ugyan nem aktív része az intézményinek, de a kialakított ösztönzési
rendszerek és az oktatók már hatnak a hallgatók egyetemen belüli és kívüli
tudásmegosztására.

A tudományos teljesítmény mérésére és az ezen alapuló értékelésekre egyre nagyobb
a társadalmi igény szerte a világon. Ez összefügg a kutatás jelnetőségének
felismerésével, az oktatásra és kutatásra fordítható összegek korlátosságával,
és a kutatással foglalkozó állami és magánszervezetek körének bővülésével. Az
egyre inkább globálissá váló rendszerben az objektívnek tűnő mércék és mutatók
alapján létrehozott rangsoroknak növekvő szerepük van a hallgatók és a kutatók
tájékoztatásában, valamint a kutatás anyagi feltételeinek biztosításában. E
helyzetben a sajnos rendkívüli méreteket öltő szakszerűtlenség veszélyei
megsokszorozódnak.
Moralne dylematy polskich romantyków w drodze do niepodległości. Wybrane zagadnienia
Authors: Toruń Włodzimierz
Published: December 2023

Prezentowany szkic, nawiązujący głównie do myśli konserwatywnej, stara się przedstawić dylematy moralne polskich romantyków (A. Mickiewicz, J. Słowacki, Z. Krasiński, C. Norwid) na drodze do niepodległości. Biorąc pod uwagę koncepcję wallenrodyzmu, stanu konspiracji, otwartej walki powstańczej, metod rewolucyjnego terroru, te sposoby aktywnego oporu zostały skonfrontowane z etyką chrześcijańską, współtworząc istotę cywilizacji łacińskiej. Sugerowane przez sytuację historyczną, niekiedy niemoralne sposoby walki, kolidowały z dekalogiem i wystawiały na próbę sumienia ich sprawców, polskich patriotów
Karin Slaughter’s Crime Novel "Blindsighted" as a Southern Forensic Thriller
Authors: Martynuska Małgorzata
Published: December 2023

The forensic thriller has emerged as a significant subgenre of crime fiction that depicts the work of medical examiners, coroners, forensic pathologists, and anthropologists who analyze scientific evidence. Forensic investigators do not engage directly in pursuing the criminal; instead, they interpret the physical evidence collected from the victim's body and the crime scene. The popularity of forensic fiction, film, and TV series has created the general assumption that criminalistics has become a routine police procedure. This article presents Karin Slaughter's novel Blindsighted as an example of the Southern forensic thriller. The American writer Karin Slaughter is the author of crime stories and thrillers set in the American South. Her Grant County series consists of six crime novels, beginning with Blindsighted and followed by Kisscut, A Faint Cold Fear, Indelible, Faithless, and Beyond Reach. The essay introduces the main qualities of a forensic thriller and highlights the novel's generic characteristics. Then, Blindsighted is analyzed within the paradigm of Southern regional literature, with its distinctive qualities and religious imagery.
ВПЛИВ ЕКСТРУЗІЙНОЇ ОБРОБКИ НА СТАН ЖИРІВ КОРМОВИХ СУМІШЕЙ

Published: December 2023

В статті розглянуто питання підвищення якості та терміну зберігання кормів за рахунок заміни в їх складі комбінації рослинних і тваринних жирів на повножирову сою шляхом її обробки методом екструзії. Обробка цим методом дозволяє досягти руйнування ферментів, які спричиняють окислення жирів та одночасно пригнітити розвиток шкідливої мікрофлори в екструдаті, що у підсумку впливає на термін зберігання корму. На основі аналізу матеріалів існуючих досліджень запропоновано два способи підвищення ефективності екструзійного методу обробки за рахунок раціонального використання теплоти, яка виділяється з частинками екструдату на виході з екструдера. У першому способі – для змішування і знезараження інших рідких компонентів при отриманні багатокомпонентних пастоподібних сумішей, у другому – для напилення порошкових компонентів на частинки екструдату, які набувають адгезійних  властивостей внаслідок руйнування клітин та виділення жирів при отриманні багатокомпонентних гранульованих сумішей. Дослідження проведені на створеному експериментальному стенді з відповідними вузлами змішування змонтованими на виході з екструдера і напрацьовано пробні партії сумішей. На першому етапі дослідження експериментально підтверджено ефективність екструзії та вибраних режимів для обробки повножирової сої шляхом оцінки рівня інактивації уреази, на другому – експериментально здійснено оцінку ефективності пропонованих способів використання теплоти шляхом визначення якості жирів та мікробіологічних показників сумішей. Зокрема, результати показали помірне зростання кислотного та пероксидного числа і незначне зростання мікробіологічних показників протягом 3 місяців, а також відсутність ентеропатогенних штамів кишкової палички, токсин утворюючих анаеробів та сальмонел в усіх досліджуваних зразках. На основі одержаних результатів обґрунтовано можливість використання запропонованих способів у технологіях виробництва кормів.
A new sensitivity-based robust optimisation of structures under bounded type uncertainty
Authors: Das Sujit , Bhattacharjya Soumya
Published: December 2023

This paper deals with robust design optimisation (RDO) of structures when uncertainty information about system parameters is limited. For such parameters, neither the statistical moments, nor the probability distribution is available. Rather, based on practical considerations, only bounds of variations of such parameters under uncertainty can be set, which is in-turn used to model them as uncertain-but-bounded (UBB) type. In recent years, convex programming (CP) approaches are used to solve RDO problem with UBB parameters. However, these approaches generally do not consider sensitivity information while formulating an RDO problem. However, it is well accepted that sensitivity is the key focus of an RDO as by definition a robust design should be least sensitive to uncertainty effects. Thus, a new sensitivity-importance-based RDO formulation is proposed in this paper, where a new sensitivity index is defined and minimised along with the usual cost function subjected to a dispersion-related constraint. Then, the proposed RDO is solved through usual CP framework. The improvement by the proposed approach is demonstrated taking four application examples. The results indicate that the proposed approach yields more robust solutions compared to the conventional approaches.
Investigation of the Mediator Role of Hope in the Relationship Between Self-Compassion and Resilience in Adolescents

Published: December 2023

This study evaluated self-compassion, hope and resilience in high school students using a mediation model. The study has two main objectives. The first one is to determine whether these variables differ according to gender. The second objective involves the evaluation of a theoretical model that reveals the mediating effect of hope in the link between self-compassion and resilience. The study included a total of 730 students (16.00±1.02 years old), 426 female and 304 male participants. Difference statistics were analyzed using Independent Sample t-test. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that the mean scores of self-compassion and psychological resilience of male students were higher than female students. However, it was found that participants' hope scores did not differ based on gender. Mediation analysis was conducted using regression-based bootstrapping. In the mediation analysis, direct effects revealed that self-compassion significantly predicted hope and resilience, and hope significantly predicted resilience. When the indirect effect was examined, it was observed that the path coefficient between self-compassion and psychological resilience decreased significantly with the inclusion of hope as a mediator variable. Therefore, it was concluded that hope partially mediates the relationship between psychological resilience and self-compassion.
