DUALNO OBRAZOVANJE U VISOKOM ŠKOLSTVU: OD IDEJE DO REALIZACIJE (ASPEKTI PRIMENE NA DEPARTMANU ZA KOMUNIKOLOGIJU I NOVINARSTVO FILOZOFSKOG FAKULTETA U NIŠU)
Authors:   Univerzitet u Nišu, Filozofski fakultet, Dojčinović Milan
Published: December 2024

Dualno obrazovanje kao koncept utemeljen u okviru tehničkih nau-
ka neophodno je graditi i u društveno-humanističkoj naučnoj oblasti.
Profesionalni novinari i komunikolozi trebalo bi da budu čuvari jav-
nog interesa, a novinarstvo potpora za razvoj demokratskog društva
i transparentne politike. To zahteva odgovornog, profesionalno ospo-
sobljenog mediologa, vođenog etičkim principima, sa multidiscipli-
narnim znanjem sa Fakulteta, ali i iskustvom koje se stiče u redakci-
jama medija i reporterskim radom sa mesta dešavanja. Neraskidivu
vezu obrazovanja i mediološke prakse treba učvrstiti i unaprediti,
saglasno Zakonu. U radu je napravljena distinkcija značenja između
dualnog obrazovanja, stručne prakse i volonterskog rada. Uz opšte
naučne metode: analiza, sinteza, indukcija, dedukcija, komparaci-
ja, sačinjen je teorijski okvir rada sa uporednom analizom inostrane
prakse, kao i sa istorijskim okvirom u istraživanom predmetnom do-
menu. Osnovnim ciljem rada – ispitivanjem stavova studenata ko-
munikologije i novinarstva Filozofskog fakulteta Univerziteta u Nišu
utvrđeno je da je većina ispitanih studenata voljna da se aspekti dual-
nog obrazovanja primene na ovoj Katedri, kao i u uopšte u domenu
visokog obrazovanja.
IN DIALOGUE WITH FREGE: HOW HIS CONCEPTS OF SENSE AND REFERENCE INFLUENCED THE PHILOSOPHY OF LITERATURE
Authors:   University of Rijeka, Department of Philosophy, Rijeka, HR, Lalić Ema Luna
Published: December 2024

In this paper, I approach Gottlob Frege’s fictional antirealism from the background of the discussion on cognitive value of literature in philosophy of literature, with particular emphasis on Frege’ s influence on Peter Lamarque and Stein Haugom Olsen’s (1994) theory of fiction. I claim that Frege’s writings on fiction do not support the conclusion that we should reject literary cognitivism (the view that literature can provide cognitive benefits). I support this view by providing two lines of argument: 1) a disagreement with respect to the precise nature of Frege’s fictional antirealism results in multiple interpretations of his thought, which is why the application of Frege’s fictional antirealism in Lamarque and Olsen’s theory is dependent on various incongruent assumptions (which I call ‘multiple readings’ of Frege) and 2) satisfaction of the conditions of a strict notion of truth is not crucially important for showing that literary fiction can have cognitive value. This is evident from the fact that the contemporary debates on aesthetic and literary cognitivism often depart from exclusive interest in (and dependence on) truth by appealing to the plurality of cognitive values, not all of which are dependent on truth.

The tooth growth phase starts from the age of 6 years with the first molar growth, this is a reference to assess the need for space and the possibility of malocclusion in adulthood. The dimension of the tooth arch is important in orthodontic treatment in children, especially in the mixed teeth phase because it will affect the treatment plan. The dimensions of the tooth arch are affected by various factors such as tooth eruption, genetics, growth patterns, environment and ethnicity. This study is a Literature Review using secondary databases from Google Scholar, Science Direct and Pubmed with the keywords "Dental Arch Dimension AND mixed dentition", "Gender AND Mixed Dentition" and "Children AND Dental Arch Dimension" which have been carried out previously domestically and abroad. Based on the results of the screening, 15 articles were obtained that met the criteria. In the study, 10 non-specific articles were found to discuss the dimensions of tooth arch in boys and girls in the mixed tooth phase. The five selected articles showed significant differences between sex, age, and race that affected the length and dimensions of the tooth arch in this phase. However, some studies have also shown that the differences are not significant in certain age ranges and races. In conclusion, The mixed tooth phase is an important period in the growth of a child's dental arch, where differences in the size of the tooth arch can be seen between different racial or ethnic groups. Gender also plays a role in determining the dimensions of the tooth arch, which affects the orthodontic treatment plan.

A Literata Translator from Russian into Italian: Enrichetta Capecelatro Carafa, Duchess of Andria
Authors: Marcucci Giulia
Published: December 2024

In this paper, I focus on the writer and translator Enrichetta Capecelatro Carafa (1863-1941), who signed all her translations from Russian into Italian, from the 1920s until her death, with the pseudonym Duchess of Andria. Reconstructing the trajectory of this prolific and talented translator means shedding light on one of the many profiles of women translators who worked hard in the early decades of the 20th century to introduce foreign literature into Italy. The case of the Duchess of Andria is emblematic, and at the same time original, for how she approached literary translation, for the number of translations she signed, and for the valuable legacy, still partly unexplored, that she left in the field of translations from Russian. The aim of this work is therefore to document a significant case study, with a brief foray into the field of translation criticism of Chekhov's short stories, translated and prefaced by the Duchess and published in 1936 by Utet.
Key Cultural Texts and Translation as a Creative Act of Cultural Mediation
Authors: Ulvydiene Huber Loreta
Published: December 2024

This research was carried out with reference to AHRC (UK) funded network project “Translating Cultures” 2014-2018.[1] The project aimed to underscore the role of language, rhetoric, and semiotics in both textual and non-textual communication, examining these concepts in their “initial expressions” and through their translations and reinterpretations across different languages and mediums. Translating cultural texts is among the most challenging tasks for a translator, as it involves navigating numerous cultural nuances and differences. Poetry, in particular, is the most challenging genre to translate. This research focuses on Antanas Baranauskas’s lyrical Romantic poem Anykščių Šilelis (En. The Forest of Anykščiai), chosen because (1) it is a key cultural text written in East High Lithuanian dialect that portrays the former beauty of a pine grove near Baranauskas’s village and its destruction under the Russian rule,. symbolising Lithuania’s struggles under the Tsarist regime and, (2) it is one of the most frequently translated Lithuanian works, with versions in 19 languages. The study delves into two English translations by Nadas Rastenis (1956) and Peter Tempest (1985), highlighting the different strategies each translator employed. The results of the study demonstrate that translation is never neutral; each decision made by the translator reflects both the original culture and the target audience’s culture, resulting in a text that serves as a conduit for understanding across linguistic and cultural boundaries.

FIKHA GÖRE YASAMA: MECELLE-İ AHKÂM-I ADLİYYE ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Ünal Mustafa
Published: December 2024

Yasama gücüne sahip olan irade emretme gücüne de sahiptir. Dolayısıyla egemenliği elinde bulundurmaktadır. Yasama yetkisi sayesinde ilk elden bir kanun yapılabilir, mevcut kanunlar değiştirilebilir veya kaldırılabilir. Fıkıh, egemenlik yetkisinin Allah Teâlâ’ya ait olduğunu kabul etmiştir. Dolayısıyla mutlak anlamda yasama yetkisi de ona ait olacaktır. Allah Teâlâ’nın iradesi ve kontrolü ile yasama yetkisi, Resulullah (s.a.v.)’e de verilmiştir. Dolayısıyla fıkıh açısından kanun koyucu ifadesi ile doğrudan Allah Teâlâ ve Resulullah (s.a.v.) kastedilmektedir. Kur’ân ve Sünnet ile doğrudan düzenlenmemiş olan konularda ise içtihat yeterliliğine sahip olan fakihler meselelere çözüm üretmeye çalışarak sınırlı bir yasama yetkisine sahip olmuşlardır. Ülü’l-emre itaatin zorunluluğu ile devlet başkanının da halk üzerinde sınırlı bir yasama yetkisinin bulunduğu kabul edilmiştir.
Mecelle-i Ahkâm-ı Adliyye devlet başkanının sınırlı yasama yetkisinden yararlanarak Osmanlı Devleti’nde uygulanmaya koyulmuştur. Bu kanun metni hazırlanırken tamamı fakihlerden oluşan bir cemiyet oluşturulmuştur. Bu cemiyet Hanefi mezhebi içerisindeki görüşler doğrultusunda yasama faaliyetinde bulunarak bu kanun metnini hazırlamıştır. Hazırlanan kanun metninin, devlet başkanının tasdiki ile Osmanlı Devleti’nde uygulanması zorunlu hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada Mecelle-i Ahkâm-ı Adliyye’nin içeriği değil, bir yasama faaliyeti olarak mahiyeti inceleme konusu yapılmıştır.

Authors:   Telkom University, Indonesia., Rini Anggarwati Sapta
Published: December 2024

This study evaluates how financial literacy, digital literacy, internet penetration, and consumer confidence influence retail industry growth in Indonesia, emphasizing the mediating role of fintech. In the era of industry 4.0, technology, especially fintech, has transformed conventional financial business models into digital ones, accelerating transactions and financial inclusion. The Covid-19 pandemic has further driven digitalization, although it has posed major challenges for the retail industry. This study aims to determine the actual impact of the development of fintech applications including the influence of financial literacy, digital literacy, internet penetration and consumer confidence levels on the development or growth of retail in Indonesia. This study uses a quantitative method with a focus on analyzing the relationship between financial literacy, digital literacy, internet penetration, and consumer confidence levels in the growth of the retail industry, both directly and through the mediation of fintech growth. The data used are secondary data that include information on the financial literacy index, digital literacy index, internet penetration level, consumer confidence index, fintech adoption level, and retail performance indicators. To overcome incomplete data, imputation and proxy variable methods are used. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to identify direct relationships between variables, and structural equation modeling (SEM) to comprehensively evaluate the influence of fintech mediation. This study shows that financial literacy, digital literacy, and consumer confidence levels have a significant influence on retail growth, both with and without fintech growth mediation. Digital literacy and consumer confidence levels have a positive impact, reflecting that understanding of digital technology and consumer confidence contribute to retail development. Conversely, financial literacy shows a negative influence. Internet penetration does not show a significant influence on retail growth, either directly or through fintech mediation.

Quercus leucotrichophora A. Camus is a member of the family Fagaceae. There are numerous therapeutic applications for the medicinal plants of the Quercus genus. The production of fuel and feed in the Himalayan region is heavily reliant on banj oak. In both human and animal health care systems, QL leaves, seeds, and bark are utilized. The tree’s gum has long been used to treat stomach issues, particularly in children, and gonorrhea. The seeds are used to cure asthma, diarrhea, and indigestion because of their astringent and diuretic properties. The DPPH test demonstrated the strong dose-dependent antioxidant activity of methanol and aquoes leaf extracts. In Wistar rats, Quercus leucotrichophora was shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects. Strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was demonstrated by the Q. leucotrichophora extract in ethyl acetate. Urine output increased significantly 24 hours after a single oral dosage of Quercus leucotrichophora A. Camus seed methenolic extract. The extract had strong diuretic effects and promoted diuresis in a dose-dependent manner.A DOCA-induced rat model of hypertension suggests that Quercus leucotrichophora (QL) may have therapeutic benefits.

Authors:   Department of General Medicine and Acute Assessment Unit, Canberra Hospital, Canberra, ACT, Australia, Ekladious Adel ,   Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Western Australia, Perth, Western Australia, Australia,   ANU College of Health and Medicine, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia
Published: December 2024

Background: Porto-pulmonary hypertension (PoPH) and hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) are significant pulmonary vascular complications in liver
disease patients. Understanding their distinct features is crucial for optimal care.
Objectives: To provide an updated overview of PoPH and HPS, compare these conditions, and highlight diagnostic and treatment challenges using
illustrative case studies.
Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Two case studies illustrate key clinical
features and management considerations.
Results: Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) generally improves outcomes more consistently in HPS than in PoPH. Appropriate bridging therapy can
significantly improve PoPH prognosis prior to OLT. Case studies highlight these approaches, including an atypical HPS presentation with acute liver injury,
Budd-Chiari syndrome, and portal hypertension without pre-existing cirrhosis.
Conclusion: PoPH and HPS present distinct challenges in liver disease. Early recognition, accurate diagnosis, and tailored management strategies are
crucial for improving outcomes. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for these complications, even in atypical presentations, to ensure timely
diagnosis and optimal management.
EXPLORING AGRICULTURAL RISK PERCEPTION AND ATTITUDE IN SINDH, PAKISTAN
Authors: Khajjak A. K , Nazir A. , Rodini L. , Kashani H. , Ali A.
Published: December 2024

Farmers must base their decisions on an informed understanding of risk perception and attitude to navigate the numerous challenges associated with agricultural operations. Nonetheless, there is a lack of sufficient research to be found in countries like Pakistan to cope with such risks pragmatically associated with agriculture. As a result, the purpose of this research is to fill this void by examining how Pakistani farmers perceive and respond to risks associated with agriculture. In the Sindh province, we interviewed 480 agricultural households in eight districts. Multi-stage stratified cluster sampling technique was adopted according to the scope of the study. Risk discernment was surveyed utilizing a risk lattice, while the Similarly Equally Likely Certainty Equivalent (ELCE) strategy was utilized to assess risk mentality. We also looked at the factors that influence farmers' perceptions and attitudes of risk using a probit model. According to our findings, salinity, floods, drought or insufficient rainfall, excessive precipitation, and flooding are the most significant threats to farmers' operations. In addition, we discovered that farmers' risk attitudes and perceptions are significantly influenced, either positively or negatively, by a variety of factors, including age, education level, farm remoteness, off-farm income, and access to market information. These experiences are important for researchers and policymakers, improving comprehension we might interpret risk in the executives’ systems among ranchers in agricultural countries. They lay the groundwork for subsequent research and legislative initiatives aimed at improving farmers' resilience to challenges.
INTERACTION OF PSEUDOMONAS AND AZOSPIRILLUM SPECIE WITH WHEAT PLANT ROOTS TO ENHANCE PLANT PRODUCTIVITY AGAINST DROUGHT STRESS
Authors: Shakoor A. , Raza A. S. , Hameed M. , Jameel R. , Ahmad M. M.
Published: December 2024

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L) is regarded as the main staple crop of Pakistan. Drought is one major environmental stress that badly affects crop production. Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria are proven to increase crop productivity and plant resistance. The zone of continuing interaction between soil bacteria and plant roots is known as the rhizosphere. Plants draw rhizosphere microorganisms to accumulate in the internal and surface tissues of their roots through root exudates. Numerous of these microbes, often referred to as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, support plant growth by a variety of direct and indirect procedures such as biological nitrogen fixation, nutrient solubilization, and disease management. A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomic research area, Faculty of Agriculture and environment, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur. Crop was sown on 21st November 2022 under normal management practices. However, drought was created at tillering and anthesis stage and Pseudomonas and Azospirillum both are applied alone and in combination. The treatments included T0= Control, T1= Drought + Azospirillum, T2= Drought + Pseudomonas, T3= Drought + Azospirillum + Pseudomonas. The experiment was held out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications having a net plot size of 5m*3m. Fisher’s analysis of variance was used to statistically analyze all the acquired data at a 5% probability level. Findings of the present study indicated that plant height (101.87cm), number of fertile tillers (360.00m-2), spike length (11.8cm), number of grains spikes (46.00-2), number of spikelet spikes (20.993-2), grain weight (40.00g), biological yield (13.407 t ha-1), harvest index (34.987%), 1000-grain protein contents (40.00g), grain yield (5.63 t ha-1), grain nitrogen contents (17.36%), grain phosphorus contents (3.7567%), grain potassium (4.25%), total chlorophyll contents (46.500mg g-1), osmotic (0.77 MPa) and water potential (0.5 MPa)were significantly increased in Drought + Azospirillum + Pseudomonas group as compared to control group. Finally, it was concluded that wheat growth is significantly impacted by drought stress. However, when Azospirillum and Pseudomonas are used correctly, wheat becomes more drought-tolerant and Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) can decrease the impact of drought stress and increase crop yield.

Published: December 2024

This scoping research study was conducted on the epidemiological deadliest lumpy skin disease, caused by encapsulated host-specific vector-borne double stranded DNA, brick-shaped Capripox virus. Different vaccines and control strategies were employed on cross breed and local breed cattle species against LSDV in the district, Khairpur Mirs during 2023. The outcome of this study revealed that the maximum infection was noted in cross bread at (79.19) as compared to herd gathering factors (71.50) followed by grazing period factor (62.14), transportation (48.00), chordata animals (13.25), and nib of injection (09.13). As a precautionary treatment, lumpy VAC, lumpy VAX, LSD-dolvit vaccine, and neem oil were used against LSD in (n=365) normal cattle. Similarly, vaccines namely; dectron, ketoject, teragen, and pencilline+dettol were used in (n=361) cattle containing signs and symptoms of LSD. The main LSD causative agents are mosquitoes, houseflies, and ticks, transmitting germs from infected to healthy cattle breeds. In conjunction with the LSD threats, epidemiological studies, isolation, identification, etiology, transmission, diagnosis, proper disposal, and cleaning, are all the control measures. Among them mass vaccination is the administrative approach, and the optimal way can give valuable insight to limit this fast-spreading viral disease. The lumpy VAC and dectron proved to be the best control hence, recommended. These vaccines should be done at the proper dose, time, and schedule for future disease mitigation and management. This study would increase the understanding of livestock owners, field vaccinators, and livestock regulators to deal with this contagious infection at different stages of bovine.

La calidad de los alimentos es crucial, especialmente en la industria cárnica, donde la oxidación de lípidos y proteínas afecta la calidad sensorial y nutricional. Este estudio evaluó el potencial antioxidante de los extractos metanólico (EM) e hidroalcohólico (EHA) de hojas de Coffea arabica en músculo bovino para mitigar la oxidación lipídica y proteica. Se empleó el método de extracción por maceración, se evaluaron los contenidos de fenoles y flavonoides, y la inhibición del radical DPPH. Los extractos se aplicaron a muestras de músculo bovino, incubadas con un agente oxidante (AAPH), y se evaluaron las formaciones de TBARS, carbonilos proteicos y las modificaciones de proteínas mediante SDS-PAGE. Los resultados mostraron que el EM presenta una mayor concentración de compuestos fenólicos y flavonoides, así como una mejor capacidad antioxidante en comparación con el EHA, con un porcentaje de inhibición del DPPH de 70.4 % y una IC50 de 630 µg/mL, frente a 64.2 % y 732 µg/mL del EHA. Además, el tratamiento con AAPH incrementó significativamente la formación de grupos carbonilo en un 152.5 %, mientras que el EM mostró un aumento del 42.5 % y el EHA del 62.5 %. En cuanto a la peroxidación lipídica, el EM redujo significativamente los niveles de TBARS en comparación con el AAPH, demostrando su capacidad para inhibir la oxidación. En conclusión, los extractos de C. arabica ofrecen una alternativa natural prometedora a los antioxidantes sintéticos, con una notable capacidad para proteger los productos cárnicos de la degradación oxidativa.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to determine the attitudes of healthcare users toward the advertising activities conducted by private hospitals, as well as the role of these advertisements in hospital selection. Data were gathered through a questionnaire administered to individuals who sought services at a private hospital in Istanbul. A total of 360 responses were analyzed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 21.0 program. The findings indicate that over 70% of participants believe that hospital advertisements provide useful information, offering insights into the qualifications of the hospital and the services it provides, thereby helping patients make more informed choices. However, the two main negative aspects of advertisements identified by participants are that they are often misleading and not sufficiently reliable. Overall, the study suggests that people generally hold positive opinions about private hospital advertisements.

Authors: Uslu Osman
Published: December 2024

Imposter syndrome presents significant challenges for individuals, particularly high achievers, leading to feelings of inadequacy and adverse effects on personal and organizational well-being. Understanding the nuances of this syndrome is essential for addressing the pervasive feelings of self-doubt that can hinder performance and overall satisfaction. This study explores the psychological foundations, impacts, and coping strategies associated with imposter syndrome, thereby enhancing our comprehension of the phenomenon. It identifies negative characteristics linked to the syndrome, such as elevated anxiety levels and diminished self-efficacy, and underscores its detrimental effects on individual well-being and organizational dynamics, including burnout and decreased job satisfaction. Effective coping strategies, such as reframing negative thoughts and fostering social support, are discussed as means to mitigate these impacts. The study advocates for targeted interventions within organizations to raise awareness and promote equitable practices, ultimately contributing to a healthier work environment.

Published: December 2024

Let R be an arbitrary involutive ring with involution ∗ and a prime ideal P.
Very recently, Khan et al. [11] initiated the study of ∗-differential identities in such rings.
Our purpose in this paper is to examine the commutative structure of the factor ring R/P
as a consequence of the following identities:
(i) d1(x)x∗ − x∗d2(x) ∈ Z(R/P );
(ii) d1(x)d2(x∗) − d3(xx∗) ∈ Z(R/P );
(iii) d1(x)d2(x∗) − d3(x∗x) ∈ Z(R/P );
(iv) [d1(x), d2(x∗)] − d3([x, x∗]) ∈ P ;
(v) d1(x) ◦ d2(x∗) − d3(x ◦ x∗) ∈ P ;
for all x ∈ R, where di are P -derivations of R, for i = 1, 2, 3. We also give some appropriate
examples supporting our results.

This study explored the lived experiences of female police officers in handling Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) cases, highlighting their emotional and professional challenges and the coping strategies they employ. Through in-depth interviews with five officers from the Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD), the study identified themes such as the emotional struggles in addressing violence cases, demonstrating empathy and establishing trust with victims, contributions of female officers in victim support, overcoming difficulties in managing complex cases, and adopting coping mechanisms to manage emotional stress. While empathy enhances victim support, it also contributes to emotional strain, particularly in cases involving male perpetrators. Female officers play a vital role in fostering trust, supported by trauma-informed and gender-sensitive training. However, challenges such as victims’ loyalty conflicts and fear of retaliation emphasize the need for emotional resilience. Officers manage stress through family support, professional techniques like compartmentalizing emotions, and self-care practices such as mindfulness and physical exercise. The study recommends enhancing emotional support, training programs, peer networks, victim-centered protocols, and promoting work-life balance and self-care to better equip female officers in managing the complexities of VAWC cases effectively.
Politics of Energy Transitions in South Sudan: Who is Fooling Who?
Authors: Chol Riak Jacob Dut
Published: December 2024

One of the critical themes in oil and gas industry is energy transition from fossil fuel to renewables. While energy transition is importance for any society progress, it has been politicized. The politics is about the genesis and speed of transitions. While African countries wanted to transit to renewables at their phases given that they don’t emit substantive emissions, Western countries wanted every country to transit fully to renewables by 2050. Yet, the Western countries are still carrying out exploration for new oilfields in the United Kingdom and Norway. The paper discuses the concept of energy transition, impacts of energy transition on extractive industries development in Africa. The paper in detail discusses economic impacts, social impacts as well as regulatory framework impacts. It examines South Sudan energy transition by looking at the obstacles as well as solutions to transition to renewables. While the study methodology embraces qualitative research design as well as case study of South Sudan, energy transition has remained as a complex matter where the Western world is fooling the developing world. Although energy transition is imperative, the study concludes that it must be just, progressive and free from coercion. Future research is hereby recommended to the stakeholders in oil and gas industry and particularly, those that have been associated with energy transition to adopt energy mix.

Schiff bases, named after German chemist Hugo Schiff, are compounds with a central functional group containing an imine or azomethine (-C=N-) linkage. They have been extensively studied in various fields such as organic synthesis, coordination chemistry, and medicinal chemistry due to their diverse properties and wide range of applications. Schiff bases have been extensively utilized in scientific research since their discovery due to their multifaceted properties. The intense focus on Schiff bases in the literature stems from their versatile characteristics. This study aims to elucidate the theoretical physical and chemical properties of a compound containing a Schiff base, (Z)-4-(2,6-dichlorophenyldiazenyl)-6-{[1,3-dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)propan-2-ylamino]methyl}-2-methoxycyclohexa-2,4-dienone, whose structure was previously experimentally elucidated by X-ray diffraction. GaussView 4.1.2 and Gaussian 03W were employed to determine the compound’s physical and chemical properties. Based on experimental and theoretical geometric parameters, the compound was observed to possess a keto-amine tautomeric form and exhibit high aromaticity, as evidenced by computational HOMA indices. The compound’s electrophilic and nucleophilic regions were illuminated based on identified frontier molecular orbitals and electronic parameters derived from these orbitals, indicating its stability. These findings were supported by molecular electrostatic potential maps, revealing electrophilic and nucleophilic attack regions on the structure. Polarizability anisotropy (∆α) and hyperpolarizability (β) values were calculated as 73.3003Å3 and 5.46547x10-29 cm5 e.s.u.-1, respectively, indicating the structure’s high polarizability feature. Natural bond orbital analysis elucidated the nature of intramolecular hydrogen bonding and delocalization between electron-donor and acceptor-type orbitals. Finally, Mulliken charge analysis supported electrophilic and nucleophilic binding regions within the structure.
