Electrophysical Properties of Nanofilms Produced by Magnetron Sputtering Method
Authors: Kuvondik Turakulovich Dovranov 
Published: November 2024

In this chapter, we have measured the formation, surface morphology, elemental analysis, and electrophysical parameters of chromium disilicide thin films and silicon oxide films grown in a magnetron sputtering device by solid-phase ion plasma method. CrSi2 thin films grown by the solid-phase ion-plasma method were initially formed in an amorphous state on silicon and silicon oxide substrates. After thermal annealing at 750 K for 1 h, polycrystalline films were formed as seen from the SEM and RHEED patterns. Electrophysical parameters of silicon and oxide silicon films were measured based on galvanomagnetic phenomena at low temperatures. The optical properties of CrSi2 and SiO2 thin films were analyzed. The analysis of the wavelength dependence of the light absorption and reflection coefficients of the polycrystalline CrSi2 film showed that it has high sensitivity in the visible and IR regions of light and can be used in nanoelectronic devices operating in these ranges. According to the measurement results, the electrophysical and optical properties of the thin films produced by the solid-phase ion-plasma method in the magnetron sputtering device correspond to the values in the available literature. The solid-phase ion-plasma method in a magnetron sputtering device was found to be highly effective in forming nanofilms.
Pathogenesis and Treatment Strategies for Chiari Malformation and Type II Basilar Invagination
Authors: Huang Qinguo , Lu Yuntao , Xie Zeyu , Xin Youhai 
Published: November 2024

Basilar invagination (BI) and Chiari malformations (CM) are the main malformations of the craniocervical junction (CVJ) in adults. The presence (type I, I-BI) or absence (type II, II-BI) of mechanical instability of the atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) was used to divide all cases with BI into 2 groups. Cases of CM coexisting with type II-BI (CM + II-BI) are generally considered to be unrelated to mechanical instability and attributed to overcrowding of nerve structures in the small posterior cranial fossa (PCF). Foramen magnum decompression (FMD) is the primary treatment. However, Goel proposed the concept of “central AAD” and defined it as a common feature in all patients with CM or type II-BI; thus, fusion surgery should be performed. The fact that no treatment strategy has found universal acceptance indicates that the pathogenesis of CM and II-BI, and whether CVJ instability exists, is still unclear. CVJ instability, especially the atlanto-occipital instability (AOI), commonly exists in II-BI patients as evaluated according to kinematic computed tomography studies, systematic morphological measurement studies, canonical correlation analysis studies, and retrospective clinical studies, while no such phenomenon was found in normal individuals or those with pure CM. From the perspective of embryonic development, abnormal embryonic development of the axial components of the first 3 occipital sclerotomes and the lateral component of the proatlas coexist in both CM and type II-BI. Morphologically, it is manifested as bone deformity of occipital condyle and superior portion of lateral mass of atlas, and II-BI is a more intense form of deformity. This finding suggests that the hypoplasia of the PCF dominated by short clivus is still the reasonable mechanism of CM. The classic surgical strategy of FMD is in line with this pathophysiological mechanism. In addition to the reduction of PCF volume in CM + II-BI patients, AOI caused by bone structure deformity of atlanto-occipital joint is another important mechanism, so the appropriate surgical strategy should be combined with occipitocervical fusion on the basis of FMD.
Naissances de l’album au xixe siècle. Du genre éditorial à l’art iconotextuel, perspectives théorique et historique
Authors: Fièvre François 
Published: November 2024

Resume :L’album n’a pas été inventé à un instant T, mais est né au xixe siècle d’une série d’expérimentations littéraires, artistiques et éditoriales. Pour comprendre le processus par lequel cette forme culturelle a émergé dans le champ du livre destiné à la jeunesse, il est nécessaire de dépasser une définition strictement iconotextuelle de l’album pour l’envisager en tant que genre éditorial, travail théorique qui amène à une définition triple de cet objet complexe. À partir de ce travail définitionnel, il est possible, du Porte-feuille des enfans à Walter Crane en passant par le Struwwelpeter de Heinrich Hoffmann et le Book of Nonsense d’Edward Lear, de retracer les grandes lignes de force qui ont permis au genre d’émerger, par-delà hapax et prototypes, en matrice pour la création d’aujourd’hui.
Comment l’album en je, tu, nous modèle son lecteur-oralisateur
Authors: Brügger Arthur 
Published: November 2024

Resume :Du fait de son dispositif particulier de lecture partagée réunissant un lecteur-oralisateur, généralement adulte, et un lecteur-auditeur enfant, l’album permet de saisir avec acuité les nombreuses implications – esthétiques, cognitives ou narratives – de certains choix énonciatifs singuliers. Cet article interroge ainsi la manière dont l’énonciation subjective – en je, tu ou nous – et le dispositif de lecture de l’album fonctionnent ensemble. Parce que les narrations à la première, deuxième ou quatrième personne construisent des figures fictionnelles qui sont à assumer directement par l’adulte chargé de lire à voix haute, et qui impliquent de placer l’enfant écoutant dans la position de témoin voire plus exceptionnellement de protagoniste du récit en train de se faire, les scénographies énonciatives qui en découlent produisent toujours, sur des modes et à des degrés divers, des résonances singulières ou des décalages féconds avec la situation de lecture partagée. « Qui parle » dans l’album – et à qui ? En mettant en scène un personnage-narrateur ou un personnage-narrataire spécifique, représenté ou non par les images, l’album en voix subjective ne construit pas seulement un « lecteur modèle » (au sens de Umberto Eco) : il modèle son lecteur-oralisateur.

Authors: Kazem Najlaa Ismael Mohammed 
Published: November 2024

In this research, analysed and described the journalistic and media terms in terms of semantic fields and then, mentioned the various types of relations existing between them in each field. Because in the last decade, the investigation of semantic relation between various vocabularies has attracted much interest among many linguist. The area of research is still very unexplored and there is high difficulty in analyzing semantic fields and extracting the relation between words. For this reason,this study examined . This research is divided into two parts as follows:In the first topic, analyzed the sematic relations of the journalists’ terminology as its semantic field, and the meaning of putting different terms into a semantic field and then getting the relations between the terms (synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, incompatibility and meronymy). However, in the second topic, selected media terminology and likewise put each set of those terms in their respective semantic domain, and then defined the semantic link between one set and another. Last but not the least, the purpose of this study is to learn new terms for each field as well as to assist the journalists and media translators and Persian language learners to be familiar with these terms
DANO MORAL IN RE IPSA E RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL SEM DANO
Authors: Bagetto André Toledo 
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho investiga o dano moral in re ipsa e a responsabilidade civil sem dano, conceitos emergentes no Direito Civil brasileiro que desafiam os paradigmas tradicionais de comprovação e reparação de danos. Por meio de uma revisão de literatura abrangente, analisa-se a aplicabilidade dessas teorias na prática e teoria jurídica, destacando suas potencialidades e limitações. O dano moral in re ipsa é explorado como um mecanismo que presume o dano pela natureza do ato ilícito, eliminando a necessidade de prova do prejuízo emocional ou moral, o que simplifica o processo para as vítimas de violações de direitos. Por outro lado, a responsabilidade civil sem dano é discutida como uma abordagem inovadora que permite a imposição de responsabilidades por atos que, embora não resultem em dano concreto, apresentam risco significativo ou violação potencial de direitos. Conclui-se que essas abordagens representam um avanço significativo no direito brasileiro, promovendo uma justiça mais eficiente e acessível, em linha com as dinâmicas sociais contemporâneas.

Melatonin and pregabalin are two important compounds that are broadly used in the fields of physiological and medicinal sciences. Melatonin is a primary hormone mainly secreted by the pineal gland and plays an important role in regulating circadian rhythms, sleep-wake cycles, and neuroimmune processes. Its strong antioxidant anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties have protected it against a wide range of diseases, from cancer to neurological disorders. In this study, the synthesis of melatonin will be widely studied, mainly regarding its role in regulating circadian rhythms and sleep, and its possible therapeutic use in treating neurological diseases and inflammation-related disorders.
Pregabalin is an analog of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), with anticonvulsant, analgesic, and anxiolytic actions. Clinical practice has widely utilized it because studies indicate that it is useful in treating a variety of conditions: fibromyalgia, epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and generalized anxiety disorder. This article reviews aspects of the pharmacokinetics of pregabalin, its useful functions in pain treatment, and its impact on calcium channel regulation. The review also discusses indications of pregabalin in therapy, along with its possible side effects. This review article aims to consider the molecular processes underlying the activities of melatonin and pregabalin and their therapeutic potential for the management of sleep disorders, inflammation, and neurological diseases to future use of these compounds clinically.
The Moderating Effect of Self-control on the Relationship between Financial Knowledge and Retirement Planning among Commercial Bank Employees in Eldoret Town, Kenya
Authors: Cheserek Gladys , Simiyu Gabriel , Tarus John K. 
Published: November 2024

Retirement planning is a goal-oriented behavior where individuals devote effort to prepare for their retirement life effectively, thus reducing retirement worry, keeping stress under wraps, and enhancing retirement preparedness and confidence. However, there is little literature about retirement planning among employees working in Kenyan commercial banks. To fill this gap, this study aimed to establish the moderating effect of self-control on financial knowledge and retirement planning among commercial bank employees in Kenya. This study was guided by goal setting, social cognitive, and behavioral life cycle theories. The study adopted an explanatory research design, with data being collected from a target population of 1058 employees of 32 commercial banks in Eldoret town using a closed-ended questionnaire. A sample size of 290 respondents was obtained using Yamane’s formula. The study used simple random sampling techniques to sample the commercial banks, and thereafter the researcher used systematic sampling techniques to select employees as respondents. The study hypotheses were tested using a hierarchical regression model. Results reveal that financial knowledge had a significant positive impact on retirement planning (β =.626, P =.000), confirming that employees with better financial knowledge are more likely to plan effectively for retirement. Similarly, self-control not only directly influences retirement planning (β = .258, P =.000) but also moderates the relationship between financial knowledge and retirement planning (β =.137, P =.000). Results further indicate that the moderation model is a superior model than the direct effect model as it accounts for more variance (60.5%) in retirement planning as shown by R² =.605 compared to 44.9% (R² =.449). This moderation process contributes to new knowledge in literature and theory. These study findings will be helpful to organizations and governments in developing policies and strategies related to retirement systems in the workplace. Limitations and recommendations have also been discussed.
