The Posthuman Homo Faber in Atwood’s Oryx and Crake: An Ironic Portrayal
Authors: Dahal Alisa 
Published: June 2023

As a dystopia, Margaret Atwood’s novel Oryx and Crake speculates the looming consequences of scientific inventions and technologies manifested in the destruction of natural equilibrium and posthuman complexities. Homo sapiens' unlimited desires and aspirations for enhancement and excellence have driven humans to enact the Creator. Crake, almost a mad scientist in the novel, creates the Crakers — genetically modified humans. To analyze this life force, the paper uses theoretical insights of humanists like Giannozzo Manetti, Rene Descartes and Friedrich Nietzsche regarding their celebration of human exceptionalism, reason, and free will. But, to counter-argue transgression in the pretext of progress, the paper also uses Donna Haraway’s concept of inter-speciesism and Rosi Braidotti’s critical posthumanism. They promote interdependence, critical review of the past and abstinence to address the posthuman crises and existential dilemmas. The enhanced Crakers are immune to starvation and ordinary diseases, devoid of art, imagination and creativity; but ironically feed on grass and their own excrement, and lack the essence of being human. They challenge Crake's genome project by transcending the lab-limitations but adapting to natural evolution. Hence, this paper examines Atwood's speculation of how modern science and technology distorts the symbiosis and disfigures the humans resulting in unwanted negotiations for survival. A post-human homofaber, Crake tries to resolve the existential crisis by eliminating the Bastion of humanity itself but ironically dehumanizes the human. The question is how far will humanity overrule nature? Who is accountable to repair the earth? Thus, this paper enables a thought exercise to retrospect on human insensibility and undergo abstinence of desires and luxury to save the future of this planet and lives from facing the impending apocalypse, as shown in the novel.
Dialectics of Subaltern voices in Barbara Nimri Aziz’s Heir to a Silent Song
Authors: Neupane Dipesh 
Published: June 2023

Heir to a Silent Song is a prose work by an American writer, anthropologist, critic and a vibrant researcher Barbara Nimri Aziz. Beside the delineation of her travel record and the rustic life of common people living in the eastern hills, the prose echoes the subaltern voices as a protest against evils and aberrations existing in the social system. As an epitome of the voices of the voiceless, it depicts the plight, the grievances and the pathos of basically two female rebels from the eastern hills of Nepal: Yogmaya and Durgadevi.
Subaltern studies are the study of social protest, and the social exclusion and exploitation. Since subaltern refers to the group of oppressed, suppressed and marginalized people, Aziz ventures to portray them as the messiahs of subaltern people in her work. This paper strives to explore how Aziz delineates them as the representative figures of subaltern aesthetics. It attempts to answer the questions: “How do Yogmaya and Durga Devi represent subaltern voices? and what do they combat for? ”This research study conceptualizes the theoretical frameworks of subaltern theories to invigorate the study. Aziz presents how two women combat for female rights and justice for the poor and low class people in the contemporary society during Rana regime. The desperate struggle of two subaltern females against social evils like caste and gender discriminations, corruption, exploitation, fraudulent activities etc. is a striking thrust of the prose work.
Traumatic impact of Tran Mong Tu in her poem “The Gift in Wartime”
Authors: Gurung Raj Kumar 
Published: June 2023

This study surveyed the traumatic impacts of Tran Mong Tu in her poem, “The Gift in Wartime”. The poem is related to the Vietnam War (1954-1975) survivors and Tu’s trauma. As Tu’s husband’s death traumatized her and she expressed her frustration and tension in the poem, several other war victims were traumatized. Her trauma represented the Vietnam War survivors. This research attempted to find out the cathartic release of war veterans' traumatic impacts. She behaved like an abnormal person. She offered her husband roses and tears on his grave. The findings of the study showed that one of the best therapies or cathartic release of traumatic impacts was to forget it, compromise it and purge it. Transformation and purgation are the best ways to release the trauma. The study focuses on realizing the fact and being satisfied by adjusting to the situation. Trauma has not been studied yet from this angle. Crying might be the most common ways of outlet of cathartic release. Releasing the trauma depends on the individual’s tackling and compromise. Writing is the best way of releasing the trauma although listening to music also lessens it. Tu attempted to release her traumatic pain through her poems. She suffered psychologically from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study employed the trauma theory to analyze the poem.
КОМП’ЮТЕРНЕ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ПЕРЕМІШУВАННЯ ДОМІШКИ ПІД ЧАС ВДУВАННЯ У РОЗПЛАВ ЧЕРЕЗ ФУРМУ

Published: June 2023

У процесі виробництва сталі металургійні підприємства додають домішки до розплаву. Вдування домішки через фурму є одним з поширених способів модифікації хімічного складу рідини. Цей процес досліджувався у багатьох роботах. Проблема полягає у дуже повільний дифузії домішки, а значить і у тривалому перемішуванні при постійній втраті температури розплаву. На швидкість перемішування впливає як кількість фурм продування так і їх розташування. Означений процес проаналізовано у даній роботі за допомогою комп'ютерного математичного моделювання, яке користується популярністю у науковців завдяки своїй малої вартості. Комп'ютерна реалізація дозволяє зберігати параметри і результати дослідів у базі даних. Доступ до функціональних сторінок забезпечено через веб-інтерфейс користувача.
Проблема перемішування домішок у розплаві полягає в обмеженні по часу, за який необхідно досягти мінімум 95 % осереднення. Одним із методів перемішування розплаву є вдування газу через донні фурми. Витрати газу треба налаштовувати таким чином, щоб шар шлаку не розмивався і сталь залишалася під ним.
Як і лабораторні або промислові досліди чисельне дослідження на математичній моделі передбачає встановлення початкових налаштувань і збереження та обробку результатів моделювання. Для цього використовуються бази даних та інтерфейс користувача. Проблема одночасного централізованого доступу багатьох користувачів до програмного забезпечення розв’язується за допомогою веб-сайту.
Мета дослідження полягає у пошуку раціональної витрати інертного газу і в оптимізації розташування фурм продування з метою ресурсозберігаючого перемішування домішки. У якості засобу обрано математичне моделювання масопереносу в розплаву і розробка супроводжуючого програмного забезпечення.
У підсумку проведено чисельні досліди з сумарними витратами інертного газу від 40 до 90 л/хв і з числом фурм від однієї до трьох. Виявлено, що з невеликою перевагою найменшу тривалість перемішування має конфігурація з однією фурмою, яка розташована по центру радіуса, та конфігурація з двома протилежними фурмами і сумарною витратою 90 л/хв.
Рекомендується до впровадження конфігурація з двома протилежними фурмами, яка має прийнятну тривалість перемішування у 92 секунди при витратах газу — 45 л/хв. на кожну фурму.
Відключення фурм на 1 хвилині, коли вся домішка потрапила у розплав, має сенс при високій швидкості розплаву. У даних конфігураціях і при обмеженій сумарній витраті газу достатньо висока швидкість досягається тільки у випадку однієї фурми. При двох або трьох фурмах максимальна швидкість розплаву є малою і перемішування домішки з часом набуває ознаки розсіювання (дифузії). А розсіювання є занадто повільним у всіх означених конфігураціях і не є прийнятним в умовах постійного охолодження розплаву.

Стаття спрямована на вирішення проблеми створення математичної моделі згорання в котлах пересувних парогенераторних установок нафтогазової галузі паро-дизельної суміші, які є більш дешевою та екологічною альтернативою дизельного палива для пересувних парогенераторних установок. Проведені теоретичні дослідження фізико-хімічних процесів при згоранні паро-дизельної суміші в котлах пересувних парогенераторних установок. Сформульовані припущення математичної моделі згорання в котлах пересувних парогенераторних установок паро-дизельної суміші. Створена математична модель згорання паро-дизельної суміші в котлах пересувних парогенераторних установок. Проведені розрахунки показали, що тепловий ефект від спалювання паро-дизельної суміші перевищує ефект від спалювання тієї ж кількості дизельного палива. Використання паро-дизельних сумішей дозволяє знизити забруднення поверхонь нагріву в котлах сажею. Проведені розрахунки витрат дизельного палива парогенераторною установкою ППУА-1600/100 на різних режимах. Швидкість згоряння паро-дизельної суміші є більшою, ніж товарного дизельного палива, а індикаторний тиск при згорянні паро-дизельної суміші зростає. За умови обмеження максимального тиску згоряння, це призводить до зниження питомої витрати палива. Також треба відмітити, що збільшення швидкості згоряння паро-дизельної суміші призводить до зменшення тривалості горіння палива. Використання паро-дизельних сумішей дозволило підвищити приблизно на 10—15 % ККД котлів пересувних парогенераторних установок та зменшити шкідливі викиди продуктів згоряння. Виконані дослідження показали, що переведення котлів пересувних парогенераторних установок на роботу з використанням продуктів паро-дизельної суміші, супроводжувалося зниженням витрати палива при роботі котлів, а отже є технічно обґрунтованим.

The nothingness myth
Authors: Varfolomeeva Anna 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article analyzes the concept of “nothingness” as a part of human- resource relations in pre- and post-industrial landscapes. It addresses nothingness as a part of mythological narratives in Kvartsitnyi settlement in northwestern Russia. Kvartsitnyi was built in the 1970s near the new quartzitic sandstone quarry and was initially viewed as a modern settlement attracting workers from all around the country. However, in the early 2000s, the quarry went bankrupt and closed. The pre-industrial landscape of Kvartsitnyi is often viewed in the interviews as empty, and the quarry's closure recreated this symbolic “nothingness.” These narratives resemble mythological creation stories when a new world appears from nothing but is destroyed as a result of human mistakes. The article discusses the cosmogonic myth of Kvartsitnyi within the larger context of Soviet and post-Soviet myth-making.

Pertuzumab-mediated Cardiotoxicity: A Single Center Study.
Objective: Recent clinical trials have shown that adding pertuzumab to trastuzumab improved the cellular response to therapy and provides a survival benefit compared with trastuzumab alone. However, it has raised concerns about additive risk of cardiotoxicity. Real life data on pertuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity are limited.
Materials and Methods: Patients a diagnosis of breast cancer who had been treated trastuzumab plus pertuzumab between January 2017 and June 2022 and had undergone regularly transthoracic echocardiography, as a part of control visits, in our medical center were included. We performed descriptive statistical analysis to evaluate the patients’ characteristics and therapies, which could increase the risk of cardiac adverse events. Cardiotoxicity was evaluated by serial left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measuring by 2D echocardiography at baseline and every three months during pertuzumab therapy and was defined as a decrease in LVEF > 10% to below 55%.
Results: There were 118 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria. The median age of the population was 51 (41-60) years. The median duration of pertuzumab therapy was 15 (9–57) weeks. Pertuzumab therapy was discontinued in two patients because of an allergic reaction and in other two patients due to cardiotoxicity. The reduced LVEF did not recover to baseline values in either patient.
Conclusion: The incidence of cardiotoxicity (1.69%) in the current study was no higher than expected for trastuzumab alone. Data from previous studies and the results of this study support that pertuzumab causes no increase in cardiotoxicity. Still, large clinical trials are needed to verify the cardiac safety of pertuzumab in a real-world setting.
On the Growth Factors and Model of Economic Development of China
Authors: Potapov Maxim 
Published: June 2023

The growth dynamics of the Chinese economy and the factors of its growth in recent years (2017–2022) are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the role of foreign trade, the movement of cross-border capital in the economic development of the PRC, and the state of its debt position. A number of conclusions are made regarding the prospects for growth and evolution of China&apos;s economic development model.
Over the past ten years, the third sphere (services) has become a leading in the production of China’s GDP, ahead of the second (industrial) sphere. The analysis of GDP structure on expenses shows that the economic growth of the PRC is primarily supported by the internal factors of consumer and investment demand. The net export of goods and services currently occupies a secondary position among growth factors. A comparison of China’s GDP dynamics and foreign trade shows the high stability of the Chinese economy to changes in trade volumes.
It is noted that China&apos;s priority efforts are focused on the formation of a new model of economic development: innovative in nature, based on a capacious domestic market, closely interacting with the world. Actively used by China until recently, the export-oriented development model has long exhausted itself in many respects. The new innovative development model will differ from the development model of new industrial countries that have solved similar tasks of maintaining growth. First of all, in China’s huge domestic market and the need to use to all domestic and external growth factors.

Such a development model is designed to ensure high quality growth and sustainable development. Innovation will replace export orientation and capital accumulation as a key driver of growth. This will make it possible to fully develop an intensive type of growth instead of an extensive one. The factors of domestic consumer and investment demand, as well as external export demand, will continue to play an important supporting role in ensuring China&apos;s economic growth.

Published: June 2023

Abstract:
As the main goal of a company is to maximize profits, to increase the value of the company which can be measured using the profitability ratio, namely return on assets. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to other ratios to measure the soundness of a company to achieve profit targets, one of which is by using a solvency ratio, namely the debt to equity ratio. This study will discuss the effect of the debt to equity ratio on return on assets in sharia life insurance companies in 2017-2021. This study uses a quantitative method using descriptive statistical tests, classical assumption tests, panel data regression tests, hypothesis testing and the coefficient of determination. The data used is secondary data obtained from the official website of a sharia life insurance company in Indonesia. The results showed that the debt to equity ratio had a significant effect on return on assets. Testing the results of the hypothesis found that the value of t count > t table was 5.808281 > 1.69236 with a significance level of 0.0000 <0.05. After statistical analysis, it is known that the regression analysis model equation ROA = 0.044863 + 0.012515 DER + εti. The R^2 value is 0.509483 which means 50%, this means that 50% of the Return on Assets is influenced by the Debt to Equity Ratio and the remaining 50% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study.

Stochastic simulations for aggregating systems with non-constant reaction rates
Authors: Asghar Shumaila 
Published: June 2023

<p> In this thesis, reactive multi-particle collision dynamics (RMPC) is used for the simulation of aggregation and aggregation-fragmentation systems. RMPC dynamics consists of collisions, reactions, and free streaming. Aggregation and fragmentation is modelled using a reactive mechanism. An infinite system of ODEs called the Smoluchowski differential equations has been used for comparison in the well mixed case. The exact solution for the infinite system is also compared with a finite system RK4 solution that is more appropriate for finite system RMPC simulations. The maximum cluster size is taken to be five, and the domain for stochastic simulations is cubic with periodic boundary conditions. Constant, additive, and multiplicative rates are discussed, and the affects of variations in aggregation and break-up rates are observed. Non-zero, monomer-only initial conditions are used, and the solution for aggregation is obtained with a monomer only initial-concentration equal to 1, as well as b, where b is a constant. The solution for aggregation and break-up is calculated using a monomer-only initial concentration equal to b. The RMPC simulations showed that the RMPC results had a good agreement with the finite-system RK4 solution specially for smaller particle sizes. There was stochastic noise in the RMPC results for all cases that became more pronounced with increase in break-up rate. The novelty of this work consists of RMPC simulation results for additive and multiplicative rates, which has not been simulated using RMPC before. For the system size considered in this work, stochastic effects can be further extended for larger cluster sizes, and to analyse different choices for aggregation and break-up rates. </p>
