More Play. Your Way – Deconstructing Cosmetics Advertising. A Pragma-Linguistic Case Study
Authors: Pop Anișoara 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Cosmetics advertising provides a rich field of analysis in terms of pragma-linguistic and multimodal communication, as well as different degrees of persuasion and language creativity. This paper is a case study of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics through the multimodal discourse analysis framework. It employs different deconstruction tools as research variables: the AIDA persuasion pattern (attention, interest, desire, action) in ad constituents, deixis, disjunctive grammar, tropes, and elements of visual semiotics. The analysis will provide insight for master students who intend to develop a career in public relations as copywriters, helping them to understand the persuasion attainment and the potential of strategies and techniques used in advertising communication.

Abstract
This paper examines the role of intercultural communication skills from the perspective of ESP classes. It highlights the need and benefits of incorporating this valuable skill in the language learning process. Acquiring the IC skill is a necessity for students as they have to perform adequately when interacting with individuals who are both linguistically and culturally different from them. Once equipped with this ’fifth’ skill, the students increase their chances of employability in today’s highly globalized world.
Alexandra Ciocârlie, Principi Şi Scriitori În Roma Antică, Editura Humanitas, Bucureşti, 2021
Authors: Boldea Iulian 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The book explores the complex relationships between the emperors of Rome (from Augustus to Hadrian) and some of the most significant writers of the era (Virgil, Horace, Propertiu, Ovid, Seneca, Lucan, Petronius, Pliny the Elder, Martial, Juvenal, Tacit, Pliny the Younger). In an effort to reconstruct vestiges of an inevitably fragmented past, the author cuts data, details, literary forms and ideas through which she outlines the force of writing and the weaknesses of writers, much too close to decision-making centers, authoritarian principles and capricious principles of Rome.
Kiss Zsuzsánna Fényhajlίtás, Napkút Kiadó, Budapest, 2017 (Nichita Stănescu, Opera Magna, În Traducere Maghiară)
Authors: Butiurcă Doina 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Under the patronage of Napkút Kiadó publishing house, the poetry volume entitled Fényhajlίtás was published in Budapest, an admirable translation from the works of Romanian poet Nichita Stănescu, performed by translator Kiss Zsuzsánna, in 2017. With the “phantom of a… disappeared author” (U. Eco), with the accomplished art and overwhelming deepness of a neomodernist (and not only that!)” as Nichita Stănescu, the translator cannot “negotiate” only by using equal modalities of negotiation with the source-text and a similar talent.
Influence of Management Systems on Severity of Heat Stress and Reproductive Performance of Rams in the Tropics – A Review
Authors: Mazlishah Mohd Shahmi Hakimi , Fauzi Nuradilla Mohamad , Nor Mohd Fadzil Firdzaus Mohd , Hashim Noor Hashida 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Sheep are an important source of protein for humans, and recent decades have seen a significant increase in the production of sheep-based products, thus indicating an increase in demand for this commodity. At a time when this sector is growing, sheep are exposed to various challenges. These include climate change, which can cause heat stress in sheep, including rams, which later negatively affects their growth and reproductive performance. Exposure to heat stress results in physiological and reproductive behaviour responses in rams, which could also be used to visually identify the effect of heat stress as it will affect the productivity of livestock. In addition, the year-round hot and humid climate of the tropics is expected to contribute to a higher probability of heat stress occurrences in rams reared in developing countries around the equator. Nevertheless, the adaptability of rams to heat stress varies according to their origin, whereby native breeds tend to adapt better. Despite that, native breeds still can be affected by adverse environmental conditions and rely on thermoregulation mechanisms to mitigate heat stress. This results in numerous negative physiological changes, such as sweating and increased heart rate. This review highlights the effects of heat stress on the physiology, reproductive behaviour and reproductive performance of male sheep. The review also discusses the impact of management systems on heat stress in rams, which affects sheep productivity.

Abstract
Initially, the nutritional value of the three main by-products of Cannabis sativa (hempseed cake, second-rate quality hemp seed and hemp hay), cultivated under Greek conditions and collected from four plantations in the Macedonian region was estimated. A second part of the study was the investigation of the effects of diet inclusion with hempseed cake (HSC) on the performance of Holstein dairy cows. The HSC used for this experiment was the one analyzed in the first part of the study. A total number of 20 lactating cows were allocated into two equal groups in a randomized block design. Cows of both groups were offered a total mixed ration (TMR) on the same feed allowance. The diet of the experimental group was formulated with 3.5 % hemp cake, at a quantity of 1kg of hemp cake per cow per day. Milk yield was recorded individually, and feed refusals were recorded on a pen basis daily, during the first 40 days of lactation. Individual milk samples were analyzed for their chemical composition, lipid oxidative stability and fatty acid composition and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) content, as well as feed samples of each group. Individual blood samples were received for biochemical indices assessment. All data were subjected ANOVA statistical analysis. The results of hemp by-products chemical profile showed similar nutritional values among the different cultivation regions. The experimental results indicated that the inclusion of HSC did not affect milk production and composition (P > 0.05). However, diet inclusion with HSC favorably influenced milk fatty acid profile. Finally, serum NEFA concentration was lower for the HSC group while serum urea levels were higher (P < 0.05).
The Unpredicted Rise of Populism: The Case of Poland
Authors: Tomczak Danuta A. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article investigates the rise of populism in Poland, applying an interdisciplinary method, with political, social, and economic factors as the compound reason for the turn from liberalism towards populism. The methodology of the study is the exploratory analysis of research, historical materials on Poland's transition to capitalism, and calculation of the selected empirical data of household incomes, linked to election results, in the regional cross-section. The household economic condition was validated by a report on deprivation and the presented growth of households’ disposable income, exposing regional differences between the selected voivodeships. The populist party Law and Justice (PiS) won the two last elections, with the majority of votes in low-income regions, which proved the hypothesis that economic inequality, amplified by globalisation and transition disparities were the main reasons for populism's prevalence. The democratic backsliding has not changed party-political scenery for very long, which revealed that for the majority of Polish voters, economic upgrading counted more, despite the violation of democracy. Therefore, the advance of knowledge about measures to reduce the in-country socioeconomic disparities between regions has become more important.
Regional-Scale Analysis of Vegetation Dynamics Using Satellite Data and Machine Learning Algorithms: A Multi-Factorial Approach
Authors: Abdollahi Abolfazl , Pradhan Biswajeet , Alamri Abdullah 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Accurate vegetation analysis is crucial amid accelerating global changes and human activities. Achieving precise characterization with multi-temporal Sentinel-2 data is challenging. In this article, we present a comprehensive analysis of 2021's seasonal vegetation cover in Greater Sydney using Google Earth Engine (GEE) to process Sentinel-2 data. Using the random forest (RF) method, we performed image classification for vegetation patterns. Supplementary factors such as topographic elements, texture information, and vegetation indices enhanced the process and overcome limited input variables. Our model outperformed existing methods, offering superior insights into season-based vegetation dynamics. Multi-temporal Sentinel-2 data, topographic elements, vegetation indices, and textural factors proved to be critical for accurate analysis. Leveraging GEE and rich Sentinel-2 data, our study would benefit decision-makers involved in vegetation monitoring.
Elementary design and analysis of QCA-based T-flipflop for nanocomputing
Authors: Khan Angshuman 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This work presents a new T-flipflop design based on quantum-dot cellular automata technology, with the standard two inputs (T and clock) and two outputs (Q and Q̄). It adheres to the typical QCA layout design approach, which consists of two majority voters and one inverter (to produce the complementary output, Q̄). It is a single-layered design with no crossover. A memory loop is used to retain previous values and aid the toggling operation of the T-flipflop. This design achieves improved functionality and reduced area requirement compared to existing designs. In addition, the study investigated energy loss and cost functions. In particular, the total energy loss is reduced by 10% and 22% compared to the best design when analyzed with the QCAPro and QCADesigner-E (QDE) tools, respectively. The area-delay and energy-delay cost functions outperform the best current design by 1.3 and 1.07 times, respectively. Overall, this work advances QCA-based flipflop (QTFF) designs and emphasizes the potential of QCA technology for creating effective QCA circuits.
Design of a battery charging system fed by thermoelectric generator panels using MPPT techniques
Authors: Mohammed Mustafa F. , Qasim Mohammed A. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Thermal energy is a renewable energy source to generate electrical energy that is not fully developed. One device that converts thermal energy into electrical power is a thermoelectric generator (TEG). TEGs are available as modules of various sizes and voltage levels. This paper is about the design of a battery charging system powered by a TEG panel. The TEG panel is implemented using 150 TEG modules interconnected in series and parallel. Its power is transferred to a battery using two stages of DC/DC converters. The 1st stage is a Lou converter that is used for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) by a referenced perturb and observe (referenced P&O) algorithm. The 2nd stage is a bidirectional converter based on buck-boost modes of operation. The system is used to charge a 9 V 1.2 Ah battery. The proposed MPPT algorithm’s performance is compared with a traditional P&O algorithm. The TEG panel provided 27.5 W at a ΔT of 30 0C. The designed system is simulated in MATLAB SIMULINK.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Many speech processing systems’ crucial frontends include speech enhancement. Single-channel speech enhancement experiences a number of technological challenges. Due to the advent of cloud-based technology and the use of deep learning systems in big data, deep neural networks in particular have recently been seen as a potent means for complex classification and regression. In this work, spectral gating noise filter is combined with deep neural network U-Net to enhance the performance of speech enhancement network. Further, for performance analysis three distinct objective functions namely, Mean Square Error, Huber Loss and Mean Absolute Error are considered as loss functions. In addition, comparison of three different optimizers Adam, Adagrad and Stochastic Gradient Descent is presented. Proposed system is tested and evaluated on LibriSpeech and NOIZEUS datasets and compared to other state-of-the-art systems. It demonstrates that, in comparison to other state-of-the-art models, the proposed network outperformed them with PESQ scores of 2.737420 for training and 2.67857 for testing, along with better generalization ability.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Over the years, the Italian Government has taken significant strides in promoting road safety awareness among the students in high schools to create an awareness of prevention and a consciousness of road safety in the student population. In this context, an agreement was signed between the DICEAM Department of the “Mediterranea” University of Reggio Calabria (Italy) and the “Euclide” Higher Education Institute Bova Marina (Italy) to combine road safety with research science in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) area. With the primary aim of “knowing in order to act”, the students focused on the multi-physics design of magnetorheological fluid dampers as high-performance devices (simple to design and requiring reduced maintenance) for vehicle suspensions, especially class B vehicles. By combining road safety considerations with multi-physics scientific disciplines, the project seeks to emphasize the importance of prevention and knowledge-based action. The study explores the use of magnetorheological fluid dampers, powered by electric current and magnetic induction distribution with thermal loads, to provide appropriate yield stress for developing damping action with repercussions on the quality of road safety. The paper delves into the basic principles of FEM (Finite Element Method) techniques for analyzing an MR damper from both magnetostatic (the main cause generating the damping effect) and thermal perspectives (thermal effects are strongly influenced by environmental conditions). The analysis of an asymmetrical device, where the damping action relies on an MR fluid strip, reveals the significant influence of magnetic and thermal stresses on the magnetization of individual particles and the overall viscosity of the MR fluid.
Area and power efficient divide-by-32/33 dual-modulus pre-scaler using split-path TSPC with AVLS for frequency divider

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Pre-scalers are electronic circuits used in phase-locked loops to multiply frequencies. This is achieved by dividing the high-frequency signals generated from a voltage-controlled oscillator. The high-frequency operation of pre-scaler circuits leads to significantly higher power consumption. To address this, D flip-flops (D-FF) realized using true-single phase clocking (TSPC) logic. The work suggests incorporating the Adaptive Voltage Level Source (AVLS) circuit with the Dual Modulus Pre-Scaler (DMPS) circuit to reduce power consumption. In addition to the incorporation of the AVLS circuit, pass transistor logic (PTL) used in the feedback, further minimizes transistors and power. This paper proposes three different designs for divide-by-32/33 DMPS circuit. The proposed-1 design combines regular TSPC-based D-FF with PTL in the feedback and an AVLS circuit, resulting in an average power reduction of 36.5%. The proposed-2 design employs split-path TSPC-based D-FF with logic gates and an AVLS circuit, achieving a power reduction of 46.9%. The proposed-3 design employs split-path TSPC-based D-FF with PTL in the feedback and an AVLS circuit, achieving a significant power reduction of 47.8% compared to the existing DMPS circuit and transistor count by 9.1%. The proposed circuits are realized using a CMOS 180 nm technology node. Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre tools are used. The proposed divide-by-32/33 DMPS circuits also realized in the CMOS 45 nm technology node to verify the functionality in the lower technology node. A power reduction of 46.86% observed when compared to the reference circuit. The proposed designs are both power- and area-efficient, making them promising solutions for minimizing power consumption in pre-scaler circuits.
Management of Reniform Nematode in Cotton Using Winter Crop Residue Amendments Under Greenhouse Conditions
Authors: Sandoval-Ruiz Rebeca , Grabau Zane J. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Rotylenchulus reniformis (reniform nematode, RN) is among the most important nematodes affecting cotton. Cultural practices, such as rotation and soil amendment, are established methods for managing RN. Management may be enhanced if crop residue has biofumigant properties against RN. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of winter crop amendments for managing RN in the greenhouse. Reniform nematode-infested soil was amended with dry or fresh organic matter (OM, 2% w/w) from winter crops – canola, carinata, hairy vetch, oat, or no crop. Cotton was subsequently grown in this soil. Independent of the crop, dry OM amendments were more effective than no amendment at managing RN, while fresh OM amendments were not. Soil and root RN abundances and reproduction factors were generally lower in Trials 1 and 3 for dry OM than fresh OM amendments or control without OM. In Trial 2, none of the OM treatments reduced RN parameters compared with no OM control. In general, when compared to plants without RN or OM, RN did not produce significant changes in growth parameters but did affect physiology (Soil Plant Analysis Development, or SPAD, values). In conclusion, dry OM amendments can help manage RN, crop growth does not always relate to RN abundances, and SPAD values could help indicate RN presence.

Abstract
A new root-knot nematode (RKN) species, Meloidogyne karsseni n. sp., associated with sweet pepper from Mexico, and a population of M. paranaensis from Guatemala, are described using data from morphological, biochemical (isozyme enzymes), molecular, and phylogenetic analyses. Meloidogyne karsseni n. sp. can be morphologically diagnosed using the combined features of the second-stage juveniles, viz. body length (345 to 422 μm), a conical rounded head region, a post-labial annule lacking transverse striation, a thin stylet 11 to 12 μm long, rounded to oval and backwardly sloping knobs, dorsal gland orifice (DGO) at 5.2 to 6.0 μm from the knobs, a hemizonid just above the secretory-excretory (SE) pore, a tapering tail with finely rounded terminus and one or two very weak constrictions at hyaline tail tip; the female characters viz. oval-to-rounded perineal pattern with coarse striation on lateral sides around the anus, low dorsal arch with finer striations, and distinctly visible lateral lines; and the male characteristics viz. a rounded and continuous head, a post-labial annule without transverse striations, a robust stylet 20 to 24 μm long, rounded-to-oval and slightly backwardly sloping knobs, and a DGO at 2.4 to 2.9 μm from the knobs. In all the studied males of M. paranaensis, a characteristic sclerotization around the duct of SE-pore was also observed for the first time. Sequences of 18S, D2–D3 of 28S, and ITS of rDNA, and cox1 of mtDNA were generated for the two species, and in the phylogenetic trees based on these genes, both species appeared in the tropical RKN species complex clade.
