Authors: Salem Alaa , Mohamed Mona 
Published: June 2024

Presently, contemporary and virtual technologies that are being embraced by many businesses have a favorable influence. For instance, biometric sensors of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data (BD), blockchain technology (BCT), and so on in livestock permit the real-time observation of the health and behavior of animals. Also, monitoring helps prevent deterioration, diagnose injuries, and stress, and sustain productivity. The collected data from biometric sensors is analyzed by using BD securing the processed information and making it transparent for partners using BCT. Achieving safety and security through collaborating human robots (cobots) Accordingly, these technologies turn traditional livestock into precision livestock farms (PrLFs). Currently, the concept of precision serves as the cornerstone for the advancement of sustainable and user-friendly livestock farm management in many nations as well as globally. Hence, the objective of this study is to embrace the concept of precision and illustrate its influence on livestock farms toward sustainability of livestock farm. These objectives consider catalysts for analyzing and evaluating the sustainability of livestock farms that embrace contemporary technologies in their operations and practices. Moreover, we are constructing an evaluation model for obtaining the most sustainable livestock farm through harassing Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques where each technique is responsible for a certain function. For instance, CRiteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation (CRITIC) is utilized for obtaining the criteria’s weights and the combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) leverages the obtained weights from CRITIC for ranking the alternatives of livestock farms and recommends the most sustainable and worst alternative. The evaluation for alternatives is performed based on rating four main criteria related to sustainability’s pillars and thirteen sub-criteria. Finally, the utilized MCDM techniques are working under the authority of Triangular Neutrosophic Sets (TrNSs) to bolster these techniques when handling incomplete information and perplexed situations.

One of the asbābun-nuzūl rules that has caused debates among ulama is the rule "Al-`Ibrotu Bi `Umūmi Al-Lafdzi Lā Bi Khushūshi As-Sabab". The majority of Ulama are pro with these rules, while the minority of them against it. One of the great Ulama of proficient mufassir is Al-Imām Fakhruddīn Ar-Rāzī. Many of these rules he poured in his monumental creation, Tafsir Mafātih Al-Ghoīb. In this case, The researcher wants to analyze the application and implications of this rule in the interpretation of Mafātih Al-Ghoīb in five verses : Those are Surah al-Baqarah (2): 174, Surah al-Māidah (5): 33, Surah al-An`ām (6): 93, Surah al-A`rāf (7): 31, and Surah al-Anfāl (8): 27. The purpose of this study was to determine the application and implications of the rule "Al-`Ibrotu Bi `Umūmi Al-Lafdzi Lā Bi Khushūshi As-Sabab" in the interpretation of Mafātih Al-Ghoīb in these five verses. The method in this writing is qualitative methods, that is research by using literature studies sourced from relevant literacy. With this analytical study, it will be known how the application and implications of the rule "Al-`Ibrotu Bi `Umūmi Al-Lafdzi Lā Bi Khushūshi As-Sabab" in these 5 verses. The result of this study is that Al-Imām Fakhruddīn Ar-Rāzī has carried out the procedure for applying the rules in interpreting the 5 verses correctly, The procedure is chronology and the reason for the revelation of the 5 verses is specific to a certain person and the redaction of the 5 verses uses a redaction by generality. While the implications for the interpretation of the 5 verses are: a) Surah al-Baqarah (2): 174, has implications for the prohibition of hiding knowledge, b) Surah al-Māidah (5): 33, has implications for the prohibition of making damage on earth, c) Surah al-An`ām (6): 93, has the implication of prohibiting lying in the name of Allah, d) Surah al-A`rāf (7): 31, has implications for the obligation to wear the best clothes in worship, and e) Surah al-Anfāl (8): 27-28, has implications for the prohibition of treason. The results of this study can be used as a method of making legal decisions not only in the past, but can also be applied to modern-contemporary, because of Qur'an is intended for all mankind throughout the ages. This is what makes the Qur'an a book that "Ṣālih Li Kulli Zamān Wa Makān" or a book whose meaning and message can apply throughout the ages.
The problem of countering political extremism in the Russian Federation in the early 1990s.
Authors: Volgin Evgeny Igorevich 
Published: June 2024

The collapse of the USSR marked the collapse of the former state order. The former Soviet republics faced such destructive phenomena that seemed simply unthinkable in the conditions of the former socialist way of life. Associations and groupings became sharply active in the political arena, the participants of which expressed aggressive hostility to the changes taking place in the country. The purpose of this article is to use various materials (normative legal acts and draft laws, periodicals, statistical data, Internet resources, as well as research literature) on the basis of a comprehensive use of various materials to identify the main problems and contradictions of the state policy aimed at countering political extremism in the first post-Soviet years. The subject of the study is a holistic political and legal process aimed at the development and adoption of adequate anti-extremist legislation. For the most complete disclosure of the problem posed, problem-chronological, formal-legal, institutional and systemic approaches were used. The scientific novelty of the research lies in an attempt to comprehend the state-legal policy aimed at combating various forms of political, national and religious radicalism as an integral and, at the same time, extremely contradictory strategy, which was implemented in the context of the crisis situation in the country. The acquired knowledge will allow us to better understand the changes that have occurred in the understanding of political extremism at the state and legal level in subsequent years. The formation of anti-extremist legislation in post-Soviet Russia was complicated by the confrontation in which all branches of government were involved. Even after overcoming the "crisis of dual power" and the adoption of a new Constitution, the Russian state was in a state of division, which made it difficult to develop and adopt a law on combating extremism. In the mid-1990s, the opinion prevailed in the socio-political discourse about the increased threat from radical nationalist (fascist) formations with the dangerous inaction of law enforcement agencies. These attitudes influenced the President and Parliament, who were the main subjects of the legislative initiative. Excessive politicization of the legislative process made it significantly difficult to develop adequate solutions. The situation was exploited by radicals who continued their illegal activities unhindered. Thus, the problem of countering political extremism did not lose its relevance in the second half of the 1990s and can serve as a subject for further study.

The subject of the study is the initial stage of the history of the School of Mathematical and Navigation Sciences as one of the first Russian secular technical educational institutions. Attention is focused on those aspects of the formation of the School that had not previously been the subject of special research by historians. Based on the complex of documents of the Armory Chamber identified and introduced into scientific circulation, it is analyzed which disciplinary and offenses the first students of the school committed and why. Analyzing the specific court proceedings conducted in the Armory Chamber on the fact of these violations, the authors show how extracurricular and educational work with students was organized. The role of Leonty Magnitsky, an outstanding Russian scientist, mathematician, author of the first fundamental work on arithmetic, in organizing educational work with navigation students, is being clarified. The research was carried out using traditional methods for historical research, special attention was paid to the identification and introduction into scientific circulation of clerical sources on the chosen topic. As the study showed, the students of the School of Mathematical and Navigation Sciences came from various estates and regions of the Russian state. Once in Moscow, many of them found themselves in a social environment that was not familiar to them, faced temptations that were difficult for them to resist. In this regard, the teachers of the School, and first of all Leonty Magnitsky, paid great attention to educational work among students. An active group of schoolchildren was formed, who, on the instructions of teachers, monitored the behavior of their comrades. For the revealed violations, the perpetrators were severely punished in public. Extracurricular work contributed to the formation of a unified system of values, instilling interest in learning, instilling discipline, and eliminating vices among students. It has become an important factor in achieving the main goal for which the School was established: to train navigation specialists necessary to create a navy in Russia in the shortest possible time.

Hybrid seeds are playing important role in increasing agricultural production. However, process of hybrid seed development involves high cost for most of the major crops. Under such situation apomixis can play crucial role in creation of one-time hybrid and maintain it for multiple generations. Apomixis and polyploidy are interrelated with each other and expression of apomixis completely relies on polyploidy. Guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq.) provides ideal system for research on apomixis and polyploidy because of its extensive diversity in morphological, cytological, biochemical, and molecular characteristics. The experiment was carried out in the eight-ploidy series i.e. 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 11x and one obligate sexual Guinea grass genotype SRP75. Considering role of MSP1 gene in apomeiosis, its expression was studied in guinea grass at three developmental stages of spikelet viz., pre-meiotic, meiotic and post-meiotic. Findings of this study highlight the complex regulation of MSP-1 expression during different developmental stages and across various ploidy levels in guinea grass. At pre-meiotic stage, except 4x, downregulation pattern of MSP1 was observed in all the ploidy levels. But opposite was observed in the post-meiotic stage.

Published: December 2011

AbstractThe covalent immobilization of penicillin G acylase (PGA) onto the surface of NH2–poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membranes was studied. PGA was chosen because it plays a relevant role in the pharmaceutical industry, catalyzing the production of an important intermediate for the industrial production of semisynthetic penicillin and cephalosporine. Because PVC has no functional groups in its structure, in this work, we focused on the functionalization of PVC with primary amine functional groups for the covalent immobilization of PGA. This goal was achieved through an aminoalkylation process of the surface of the PVC membranes with ethylene diamine followed by activation with glutaraldehyde to finally immobilize the enzyme. Different factors affecting the modification and activation processes were studied, and their impacts on the catalytic activity of the immobilized PGA were followed. The functionalized membranes were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy to verify the modification process. In addition, the changes resulting from the modification in physical characteristics, such as surface roughness, water uptake, and mechanical properties, were monitored. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: December 2011

AbstractIn this article, we describe the synthesis of two azobenzene and two stilbene‐based diacetylene chromophores containing terminal electron‐donating (OCH3) and electron‐withdrawing (NO2) terminal groups with esterification reactions. The target compounds were characterized by NMR, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), absorption, and photoluminescence spectroscopies. We investigated the structural effects of these photochromic compounds on the E–Z photoisomerization and 1,4‐addition under UV irradiation. 4‐[(4‐Nitrophenyl)‐diazenyl]phenyl pentacosa‐10,12‐diynoate, incorporating the electron‐withdrawing nitro group (NO2), underwent the fastest rate of Z‐to‐E isomerization in darkness via a rotation mechanism. Our results demonstrate that self‐assembled azobenzene Z isomers exhibited enhanced fluorescence under UV irradiation. XRD spectroscopy identified bilayer packing by the polydiacetylene films after 1,4‐addition. Chromophores comprising the diacetylene group presented moderate photochromic stability upon 1,4‐addition, changing from their original yellowish color to form a blue phase. These synthesized compounds may be useful in the development of new and unique functional materials that exhibit bistable photochromism. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012
Nanomodified fillers in chloroprene‐rubber‐compatibilized natural rubber/acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber blends
Authors: Thomas Shaji P. , Mathew E. J. , Marykutty C. V. 
Published: December 2011

AbstractBecause of the structural dissimilarity, natural rubber (NR) and acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR) are immiscible, and compatibilizers are used during their blending. Neoprene or chloroprene rubber (CR) has a polar chlorine part and a nonpolar hydrocarbon part. Also, it has many advantageous properties, such as oil resistance, toughness, a dynamic flex life, and adhesion capacity. Hence, it is not less scientific to use CR as a compatibilizer in the blending of NBR with NR. Because many fewer studies on the use of neoprene as a compatibilizer in NR–NBR blend preparation are available, efforts were made to prepare 20:80 NR–NBR blends with CR with the aim of studying the effect of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)‐coated nano calcium silicate along with nano N‐benzylimine aminothioformamide and stearic acid coated nano zinc oxide in the sulfur vulcanization of the blends. The optimum dosage of the compatibilizer was derived by the determination of the tensile properties, tear resistance, abrasion resistance, compressions set, and swelling values. The tensile strength, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance of the gum vulcanizates of the blend were improved by the compatibilizing action of CR up to 5 parts per hundred parts of rubber (phr). In the case of the filled vulcanizates, the tear resistance, 300% modulus, hardness, and abrasion resistance increased with increasing dosage of nano calcium silicate. The elongation at break percentage decreased as expected when there was an increase in the modulus. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the phase morphology of the blends. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012

Published: December 2011

AbstractGeneralized iodolactonization conditions have been developed for the formation of both cis‐ and trans‐γ‐lactones from 3‐pentenoic acid derivatives containing various protected alcohol moieties. Kinetic control of the reaction using iodine and base at 0 °C for 6 h provided the cis‐lactone with good selectivity (75:25), and thermodynamic control at room temperature for 24 h provided the trans‐lactone with excellent selectivity (98:2).
Joint analyses of disease and correlated quantitative phenotypes using next‐generation sequencing data
Authors: Melton Phillip E. , Pankratz Nathan 
Published: December 2011

AbstractThe joint analysis of multiple disease phenotypes aims to increase statistical power and potentially identify pleiotropic genes involved in the biological development of common chronic diseases. As next‐generation sequencing data become more common, it will be important to consider ways to maximize the ability to detect rare variants within the human genome. The two exome sequence data sets provided for analysis at Genetic Analysis Workshop 17 (GAW17) offered three quantitative phenotypes related to disease status in 200 simulated replicates for both families and unrelated individuals. Participants in Group 10 addressed the challenges and potential uses of next‐generation sequencing data to identify causal variants through a broad range of statistical methods. These methods included investigating multiple phenotypes either through data reduction or joint methods, using family or unrelated individuals, and reducing the dimensionality inherent in these data. Most of the research teams regarded the use of multiple phenotypes as a means of increasing analytical power and as a way to clarify the biology of complex disease. Three major observations were gleaned from these Group 10 contributions. First, family and unrelated case‐control samples are suited to finding different types of variants. In addition, collapsing either phenotypes or genotypes can reduce the dimensionality of the data and alleviate some of the problems of multiple testing. Finally, we were able to demonstrate in certain cases that performing a joint analysis of disease status and a quantitative trait can improve statistical power. Genet.
