The Clean Water Act’s Nurdle-Shaped Gap: Using the CWA to Address Primary Microplastic Pollution
Authors: Hopkins Taylor
Published: September 2024

The term “nurdles” may sound like a silly made-up word lifted from the pages of a children’s book, but unfortunately nurdles are all-too real, with trillions of these microplastics ending up in our oceans each year. Nurdles spill into the environment at every step along their supply chain, allowing them to end up in fish and on our plates. Despite the known danger nurdles pose to both wildlife and humans, they are virtually unregulated. In the absence of regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), some states and their citizens have begun trying to wrangle rogue nurdles, and hold nurdle dischargers accountable, on their own. Unfortunately, due to the sheer volume of nurdles escaping into the environment and their mobility once out there, even the most successful local efforts are unable to make a dent in the nurdle problem.

However, the Clean Water Act (CWA) already provides the tools needed to address nurdle pollution at the federal level — it just needs to be used in the right way. This Note offers two such ways the CWA can be utilized in the fight against nurdle pollution. To curb everyday spills caused by improper handling at plastics facilities, the EPA should promulgate a zero nurdle discharge standard for relevant industries. To ensure proper nurdle cleanup in the wake of major shipping accidents, in which millions of nurdles spill directly into a waterway all at once, the EPA should consider classifying nurdles as a hazardous substance under CWA Section 311. As the plastics industry prepares to ramp up North American production, and research increasingly shows the hazards of nurdle ingestion, it is imperative that we address the gaps in our regulatory system that thus far have allowed nurdle pollution to go unchecked.

The concept of smart cities is a new strategy for solving the problems caused by urbanization. The Smart Territory is equipped with digital architecture (motion sensors, temperature, pollution, computer networks and con- trol system), and the latest technologies (artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, digital platforms, blockchain, etc.) are not only an important aspect of smart cities, but also their basis. Smart cities are a place of experiments in the field of robotics and automation, and their use in many areas of economic and social life. However, the transformational power of digitalization is associated not only with the benefits of development, but also with problems (job cuts, deepening social inequality, violation of privacy). The uncertain place of a person in the so-called 5.0 society, espe- cially with regard to the availability of digital technologies and skills, leads to a widening digital gap between technically savvy people and people who do not know how to use technology in their lives. The success of the introduc- tion of digital technologies into cities will depend on the knowledge and care with which these technologies are implemented in accordance with universal values. The article talks about the concept of «smart city» as a possibility of intelligent management, economy, life, transport and communications, environment and people. The emphasis is on the political risk of using intelligent technologies, up to digital totalitarianism.

Authors:   MGIMO University, Moscow, Russian Federation, Yaroshevsky Ilya M.
Published: September 2024

The scientific and practical significance of this article lies in the fact that the author examined issues related to the use of export potential in foreign trade, explored its functions, directions of formation and evaluation possibilities. The relevance of this problem is due to the fact that currently international relations and trade (carried out within the framework of a more general concept - foreign economic activity) allow countries to gain access to resources and technologies, increase the volume of foreign trade, realizing their export potential. The article defines that “export potential” can be interpreted as the ability of a country, its industry, individual industries or companies to produce and export competitive products, services, technologies or resources to the world market. As factors contributing to the growth of export potential, natural and geographical advantages (climate, mineral deposits, etc.), as well as demographic and mental ones (high proportion of the working population, focus on achieving success, commitment of employees to the corporate mission and goals, etc.) can be used. etc.), and the introduction of innovations (technical, managerial, etc.). It is concluded that the concept of “export potential” implies the ability of an economic system (state, industry, region or company) to produce competitive goods (services, technologies or resources) for export, using various types of advantages (natural, geographical, demographic, innovations in production and management, etc.). Approaches to its assessment differ based on the scale of its implementation (at the country, industry, region or company level), and can also consist of various blocks selected during the assessment, based on the goals set for its implementation and the availability of the necessary data.

Evaluating the cognitive and electrophysiological plausibility of a thalamic computational model
Authors: Panassiol Ricardo Tiosso , Pelaez Francisco Javier Ropero
Published: September 2024

The thalamus acts as a gateway to the cortex, relaying information from the brainstem and spinal cord to cortical regions. Evidence suggests that thalamic networks play a role in pattern recognition by extracting key elements from sensory input. We propose that thalamic networks function as a central orthogonalizer in the brain, enabling the application of the Hebbian learning rule without contamination or “interference” between the correct output for one input pattern and the output for other input patterns. This study aims to describe a biologically plausible artificial neural network that mimics aspects of the physiological activity of the thalamic circuit. To validate this proposal, the network was tested in four different scenarios. The model successfully replicated electrophysiological processes, including: (i) inhibitory facilitation; (ii) waveform sculpting in reticular cells; (iii) pattern completion of thalamic input; and (iv) computational processing of stabilized images on the retina. In human experiments, stabilized retinal images were perceived as sequences of patterns that appeared and disappeared suddenly. These patterns closely resembled or were related to the presented image, suggesting that they represent a mix of principal components derived from learned images. Such components emerge when a complete image, or only a portion of it, reaches the thalamus. Our model effectively reconstructs images based on partial eye-to-thalamus information, mirroring human visual responses.

Published: September 2024

The incidence of pancreatic cancer is elevated in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), particularly those who have undergone renal transplantation. However, the feasibility of performing a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for this specific patient group remains uncertain. Here, we present a case of a 44-year-old male with SLE and a history of renal transplantation who was newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The patient successfully underwent PD combined with resection and reconstruction of the superior mesenteric vein and had an uneventful post-operative course. In silico analysis revealed higher ratios of naïve B cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ memory-activated T cells, and monocytes in the tumor tissue of this patient compared to most patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas and PACA-AU datasets (exceeding the mean + standard error value for each cell type). In addition, the patient exhibited higher proportions of naïve B cells, memory B cells, CD4+ memory-activated T cells, regulatory T cells, resting natural killer cells, and activated dendritic cells in the lymph nodes compared to patients in the GSE103787 dataset (exceeding the mean + standard error value for each cell type). Furthermore, expression levels of cytotoxic marker genes (granzyme B and perforin 1) were higher in both the tumor tissue and lymph nodes compared to public datasets (exceeding the mean + standard error value). In conclusion, this case demonstrates that a patient with SLE and renal transplantation can tolerate PD. In addition, it provides the first description of this patient group’s unique anti-tumor immune microenvironment through in silico analysis.

Education is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, and atitudes through various metho such as teaching, training, or research. It is a lifelong process that involves the formal and inform transfer of information from one generation to another. Education equips individuals with the too they need to understand the world around them, make informed decisions, and contribute effectively society. The act of learning or teaching, or the process of acquiring or disseminating knowledge, known as education. It also involves preparing kids for adult hood. In contrast to many informal and non-formal forms of socialization, the discipline of education is concerned with how to teach and learn in classrooms or environments that are similar to classrooms. Critical abilities including decision making, mental agility, problem-solving, and logical thinking are developed in youngsters through education. Individuals experience difficulties in both their personal and professional lives. Their level of education and self-awareness determines their capacity to make logical and informed decisions in such circumstances. All school disciplines, including mathematics, are now taught and learned through game-based learning, which is a common practice in contemporary education.

High Performance Large Scale Image Recognition Without Normalization
Authors: - Priyanka Sharma , - Pratima Sharma
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Load standardization is an important aspect of most models, but the usage is focused on a varied range of undesirable features as it depends on the load size and affects the interactions of instances. However, newest profound resent networks are capable of being trained without any standardizing layer, but their precise operation is not the same as standardized batch networks. This will create an adaptive gradient cutting system that fixes these instabilities and develops a much improved Free ResNet class. Our lesser edition is 8.7% faster, and our largest is 87% faster than the top 1.0. The Net-B7 is a versatile Picture Net measuring precision for our smaller versions. As demonstrated in our top models with the accuracy of approximately 90%, Free Normalize models significantly increases the efficiency in fine tuning, compared with large-scale pre-training with 350 million pictures of data-sets.

Unveiling Cultural Conflict Through Diasporic Displacement – An Analysis of The Unknown Errors of Our Lives by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Authors: - Neelam Mulchandani
Published: September 2024

Second-generation immigrant writers' works clearly address the issues of displacement and relocation. Rather than just suffering the anguish of relocation and exile, these writers investigate the possibilities of integration with a newfound consciousness that strives to redefine human sensitivity and the dynamics of intimate connections. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's remarkable creative imagination clearly conveys critical times in the lives of immigrants trapped between the draw of the past and present, Western modernity and Eastern spiritualism. Her works explore the painful impacts and conflicts between tradition and modernity that shape the immigrant mind.
Divakaruni's short stories are a wonderful collection that deftly and insightfully examines the contradictions between the ancient and modern worlds. She has a remarkable understanding of the tension inherent in human emotions in the context of geographical migration. Emotional attachments have a huge impact on familial and personal relationships, as well as morality and human values, giving Indian immigrants' experiences a unique emotional authenticity. Her collection of stories delves profoundly into the problems that occur as a result of cultural and geographical dislocation, exposing the grief, loss, and alienation of the immigrant experience and converting them into a larger human drama. The dilemma at the center of these stories is frequently caused by the unavoidable connection with a new, hybrid culture.

An Overview of The Zanzibar Legal System; The Scottish Comparative Perspective
Authors: - Abdu Maulid Haji , - Prof. Moh’d Makame Haji
Published: September 2024

The Scottish Act 2012 sets out amendments to the Scotland Act 1998, intending to devolve further powers to Scotland. The 2012 Act transformed a part of judiciary jurisdiction from a vertical to a horizontal system to ensure that the High Court of Justiciary retained the power ultimately to resolve cases once the Supreme Court has determined the legal question at issue. Under the horizontal system, the decisions are not subject to review by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.

The criticisms and arguments across the globe have proven to have zero risk on legalism no diminishing court jurisdiction on any side of those unions.

Needoeducation i.e. education of needs is required to stimulate a person to do the necessary efforts in the direction of fulfillment of the need. If the base of one’s action is one’s need, faster or better the efforts are done in the direction of its fulfillment. Likewise, if we know what the society needs before framing any policy the chances of its success increase. The commencement of NEP 2020 started many discussions regarding the basis of the policy. Hence the present study was designed to assess that how far NEP 2020 is based on Needoeducation. How many needs of the people have been considered while framing it. The actual status of Indian schools, teachers and students and what problem they are facing while following it was focused in it.

Authors: - Updesh Chhimwal
Published: September 2024

Shobha De and Namita Gokhale are not the newcomers in the field of writing. Both artists have been the journalists, so they know the art of writing. Through their novels they answer a very important question, “How to live?” In this male dominated society their female characters are making their own place and proving that they are not mere subordinates to men. According to Mary Wollstonecraft rather than mere ornaments to society or property to be traded in marriage, women are human beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men. Virginia Woolf asserted in “A Room of one’s own” that how patriarchal society prevented women from realizing their productive & creative potential, so they need freedom. But in the name of women liberation or freedom both Shobha De and Namita Gokhale don’t allow illicit or extra marital relationship.
