The Mad Wolf’s Daughter by D. Magras
Authors: Thysse Arwen 
Published: December 2018

Magras, Diane. The Mad Wolf’s Daughter. Kathy Dawson Books, 2018.
The Mad Wolf’s Daughter is a children’s novel set in thirteenth-century Scotland that tells the story of Drest, a young girl who goes on an adventure to save her father and brothers after they are captured by invading forces. Diane Magras tells an engaging adventure story that sweeps you along with Drest as she tries to navigate a frightening world without her family—learning whom she can and cannot trust, and coming into her own as a young girl who can best adults through both her strength and her intelligence. Written for children, particularly girls of around the same age as Drest (12 years old), this story provides many insights into life, family, and friendship that both children and adults might find extremely powerful. For example, over the course of the story, Drest comes to understand that “you can’t always control your legend”—an important lesson in our modern world where rumour can spread so fast. The story emphasizes that you have to be true to yourself despite what people may be saying around you, and that it is this belief in one’s own self that can guide you through the roughest of times. As details around the lives of Drest’s family and the families of Drest’s friends are revealed in the story, Magras builds another powerful message about how it is ok to differ from and, indeed, disagree with people you love.
Magras, aware that certain aspects of the medieval world in which she places her story may be unfamiliar to her audience, includes a glossary of terms as well as an author’s note that discusses the historical setting in greater detail. In particular, Magras does a good job of indicating that gender roles were not as fixed in the Middle Ages as is often assumed, and introduces the reader to the great variety of roles and indeed agency that women could have in the medieval period.
Despite these positive traits, Magras’ story does seem to lack some depth to its world and only scratches the surface of the medieval context that she researched for the story. However, the exciting plot and vivacious characters satisfactorily carry the novel’s interest. Overall, this is a good adventure book which also offers a point of departure for readers to explore the medieval world in more detail. Therefore, this book would be a good addition to school and public libraries.

Please, Encourage Kids to Write!
Authors: Desmarais Robert 
Published: December 2018

Dear Readers,
I recently browsed through numerous web pages for kids on cbc.ca and much to my delight I came across an article titled “5 Books You Probably Didn’t Know Were Written by Kids.” I discovered that Alec Greven published a successful book called How to Talk to Girls when he was only nine years old. The book was published back in 2008, so Graven would be close to twenty today, but the lessons on the back cover remain relevant for today: “Comb your hair and don’t wear sweats / Control your hyperness (cut down on the sugar if you have to) / Don’t act desperate.” Graven was interviewed on several popular television shows soon after the book was published, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Today show, and Good Morning America, among others, and his publication became a media sensation.
Graven’s accomplishment is certainly very impressive, but I was even more astounded to read about a four-year-old named Dorothy Straight, who, according to CBC, “holds the world record for being the youngest published author.” Her book titled Who Made the World? was published in 1964 and it included her own illustrations to depict her ideas about the possibility of Creation. These extraordinary stories of kids who write and publish books make inspiring reading, which is why I mention them here in my editorial, with the hope that you will encourage the children in your life to write, not necessarily for publication, but to help them read and understand stories written by other writers. There are lots of resources available to encourage children to write, including apps, websites, writers’ groups, blogs, magazines, books, and courses, so please consider doing an online search for writing materials or visit your local library to ask for help finding free writing resources for kids.
Happy reading!

Synthesis, Characterization, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Naringenin Derivatives as Anticancer Agents
Authors: Murti Yogesh , Mishra Pradeep 
Published: December 2018

Background:
In the present study, a series of substituted naringenin derivatives was synthesized
by Claisen–Schmidt reaction using grinding technique.

Methods:
Synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
(FTIR), proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR), Mass Spectroscopy (MS) and elemental
analysis. These derivatives were screened for anticancer activity on breast (MCF-7) and colon
(HT-29) cell lines using Sulforhodamine B (SRB) colorimetric assay.

Results:
Results displayed improved inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of naringenin derivatives.
IC50 values of 3(4-chlorobenzylidene)-5,7-dihydroxy-2(4-hydroxyphenyl)chroman-4-one are 10.35 μM
(MCF-7) & 12.03 μM (HT-29), which is most potent compound in the series. These finding confirms
the suitability of 3-substituted naringenin in improving the anticancer effect.

Conclusion:
Due to the intense interest in the development of drugs capable of inhibiting cancerous
cells, naringenin derivatives may represent important precursor molecules for the therapeutic armamentarium
of colon and breast cancer. Further structural modification in these structures will be of interest
and may result in compounds having a better anticancer activity.
Performance Evaluation of Cognitive Internet on Things Under Routing Attacks
Authors: Makani Ruchi , Ramana Reddy Busi V. 
Published: December 2018

Background & Objective::
In past few years, Cognitive Radio (CR) paradigm has emerged
as a promising and revolutionary solution to avoid problems of spectrum paucity and inefficiency in
spectrum usage. Efficiently utilization of the spectrum offers high network performance. CRs are
proficient to identify and adopt the unused spectrum in order to allow secondary users to occupy it
without interfering the primary user’s activity. Cognitive Internet on Things (CIoT) is an integration
of several technologies and communication solutions which can be effectively realized as Cognitive
Radio Adhoc Networks (CRAHN). In CRANH, on-demand routing protocols are the best suitable
protocols due to their dynamic feature of available un-utilized channel/spectrum selection.

Methods:
Here, firstly, Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol has been
modified and further evaluated to address route selection challenges in CIoT framework. Secondly,
the effects on network performance under network layer routing attacks (i.e. blackhole attack, byzantine
attack and flooding attacks) are evaluated.

Conclusion:
The simulations results demonstrate network performance increase with more channels
and degrade differently under attacks.
EDGE STATE METHOD IN MECHANICS PROBLEMS CONCERNING ANISOTROPIC THIN PLATES
Authors: Ivanychev D. A. 
Published: December 2018

ObjectivesThe aims of the study are to expand the edge state method for solving bending and torsion problems concerning anisotropic thin plates, develop the theory of construction of the bases of spaces of interior and edge states based on a general approximate solution to the plate bending problem, formulate the relationships determining the desired elastic state and implement the developed theory in solving specific problems.MethodsThe fulfilment of the tasks is assumed to be based on the edge state method. The state spaces comprising the methodological basis are formed according to the fundamental system of Weierstrass polynomials.ResultsAn isomorphism of interior and edge state spaces is demonstrated, allowing a correspondence between the elements of these spaces to be unambiguously established. The isomorphism of spaces allows the process of finding the internal state to be reduced to the study of the edge state isomorphic to it. The mechanical characteristics are represented in the form of a Fourier series. In the case of the first and second fundamental mechanics problems, the Fourier coefficients are represented by scalar products having an energy implication: in the space of edge states, this consists in the work of external forces; in the space of internal states, it is the internal energy of elastic deformation. In the case of mixed mechanical problems, the search for an elastic state in the terms of the edge state method is reduced to solving an infinite system of algebraic equations. ConclusionThe solution of the first-tested basic problem of bending with torsion for a rectangular fibreglass plate with corresponding conclusions is given, as well as the problems of torsion for a plate of nontrivial form. Commentaryis provided concerning the unreasonableness of the solution of the second fundamental problem, as well as the problem with mixed boundary conditions for a rectangular plate where twisting and bending forces are defined simultaneously on the one face, while the opposite face is squeezed. Both explicit and indirect signs of the convergence of the solution to the problem are presented along with a graphical visualisation of the results.

As an educational institution in the middle level, Muhammadiyah 4 Senior High School has a significant role in mapping the superior potential of its students. At this level, students are expected to know their interests and talents in a particular field. Once interest and talent are identified, students can focus on choosing study programs that are appropriate to their respective interests and talents. Having a clear target will make students more motivated to optimize their academic value in preparation for the target program. For this reason, schools need to map superior potential for their students to achieve the vision and mission set by the school. Through interest and talent tests and seminars organized by the FEB-UHAMKA lecturer team in the framework of community service through community partnership programs, it is expected to help the school to do this mapping. Superior potential mapping is done to prepare excellent human resources because they have expertise in their specific fields. Without mapping, schools are expenses or costs that will just disappear. Conversely, by doing talent mapping, schools will be an investment that provides benefits both for the individual itself and for the wider environment.
