description: Abstract: The name Vastu Purusha Mandala essentially consists of three parts – Vastu, Purusha and Mandala. Stella Kramrisch, in her monumental work and certainly one of the most authoritative on Hindu temple architecture, THE HINDU TEMPLE, explains these thus – ‘It is his body (sharira) and a bodily device (sharira yantra) by which those who have the requisite knowledge attain the best results in temple building, It is laid out in tabular notation as man (naraprastara) and site (vaastuprastara). In the Purusha, Supernal man, the Supreme Principle is beheld. Beyond form and non-contingent, it is beyond description. It is known by intellectual intuition as residing in man, the microcosm, and in the universe, the macrocosm. Either is its place of manifestation. Man and Universe are equivalent in this their indwelling centre. Of this equivalence the Purusha is an image. In the Purusha, the relation of the Supreme Principle (Brahman) and of manifestation is seen as coterminous........It is the site indwelt, and pervaded by the Purusha.......By its impress that piece of land, freed of all associations acts as primordial, undifferentiated substance (Prakriti).’ Thus within the structure of the Hindu temple, and in the particular context of the magnificent temples in Bhubaneswar, the intangible co-exists with the tangible, rather, one may say, the subtle yet all-encompassing intangible is ensconced within the magnanimous tangible.
title: Standard Machine Learning Techniques in Audio Beehive Monitoring: Classification of Audio Samples with Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest and Support Vector Machine

description: Honeybees are one of the most important pollinating species in agriculture. Every three out of four crops have honeybee as their sole pollinator. Since 2006 there has been a drastic decrease in the bee population which is attributed to Colony Collapse Disorder(CCD). The bee colonies fail/ die without giving any traditional health symptoms which otherwise could help in alerting the Beekeepers in advance about their situation.
Electronic Beehive Monitoring System has various sensors embedded in it to extract video, audio and temperature data that could provide critical information on colony behavior and health without invasive beehive inspections. Previously, significant patterns and information have been extracted by processing the video/image data, but no work has been done using audio data. This research inaugurates and takes the first step towards the use of audio data in the Electronic Beehive Monitoring System (BeePi) by enabling a path towards the automatic classification of audio samples in different classes and categories within it. The experimental results give an initial support to the claim that monitoring of bee buzzing signals from the hive is feasible, it can be a good indicator to estimate hive health and can help to differentiate normal behavior against any deviation for honeybees.

Resilience: multi-hop tax reallocation in Ripple for guaranteed basic income
Creators: name: Nygren, Johan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: ABSTRACT: Ripple, the multi-hop mutual credit system invented by Ryan Fugger in 2003, is an ideal topology for a new type of mass-scale redistribution of wealth. The credit lines in Ripple can be used as conduits for reallocation of transaction taxes, achieving scalability by "multi-hop routing", the same design philosophy that governs data transmission on the internet. Tax is reallocated by "hopping" from person-to-person along credit lines, analogous to packages of data in TCP/IP, propagating until it finds a person without an "income". This new mechanism for redistribution of wealth is fault tolerant, has no central points of control, and scales to infinite size.

description: Abstract

Gluten-sensitive enteropathy, or celiac disease (CD), is an autoimmune disorder affecting the small intestine, characterized by inflammation and malabsorption in response to gluten ingestion. The global prevalence of CD is estimated at 1.4% of the world's population, with a comparable rate of 1.3% in Pakistan. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between CD and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in patients aged 2-15 years, focusing on the nutritional adequacy of their gluten-free diets and exploring how dietary habits relate to patients' physical, socioeconomic, and biochemical characteristics. The cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Faisalabad, Pakistan, involving 100 CD patients (66 females, 34 males) diagnosed with associated IDA. Anthropometric measurements, medical history, biochemical parameters, and dietary assessments were performed. Results showed that 44% of patients were aged 0-5 years, with a higher prevalence in females. Low hemoglobin levels were observed in 81% of patients, indicating severe or partial IDA. Biochemical analysis revealed low ferritin levels in 99% of patients and elevated transferrin in 98%. Dietary assessment found that 66% of patients adhered to a gluten-free diet, with varying consumption patterns of different food groups. The study highlighted the complex relationship between CD, IDA, and nutritional status, emphasizing the importance of dietary modifications in managing CD and related complications. These findings provide valuable insights for enhancing CD management strategies and addressing associated nutritional deficits, particularly IDA, in young patients.

description: ABSTRACT: Ripple, the multi-hop mutual credit system invented by Ryan Fugger in 2003, is an ideal topology for a person-to-person safety net. The web of credit lines that Ripple models can be used as a conduit for reallocation of transaction taxes, used to pay for debt reduction to provide a social safety net for access to basic needs. The result is similar to Silvio Gesell’s notion of “decaying currency”.

description: General relativistic simulations for the merger of binary neutron stars are performed as an extension of a previous work\cite{Shibata:2006nm}. We prepare binary neutron stars with a large initial orbital separation and employ the moving-puncture formulation, which enables to follow merger and ringdown phases for a long time, even after black hole formation. For modeling inspiraling neutron stars, which should be composed of cold neutron stars, the Akmal-Pandhalipande-Ravenhall (APR) equation of state (EOS) is adopted. After the onset of the merger, the hybrid-type EOS is used; i.e., the cold and thermal parts are given by the APR and $Γ$-law EOSs, respectively. Three equal-mass binaries each with mass $1.4M_\odot,1.45M_\odot,1.5M_\odot$ and two unequal-mass binaries with mass 1.3--$1.6M_\odot$, 1.35--$1.65M_\odot$ are prepared. We focus primarily on the black hole formation case, and explore mass and spin of the black hole, mass of disks which surround the black hole, and gravitational waves emitted during the black hole formation. We find that (i) for the systems of $m_0=2.9$--$3.0M_\odot$ and of mass ratio $\approx 0.8$, the mass of disks which surround the formed black hole is 0.006--$0.02M_{\odot}$; (ii) the spin of the formed black hole is $0.78 \pm 0.02$ when a black hole is formed after the merger in the dynamical time scale. This value depends weakly on the total mass and mass ratio, and is about 0.1 larger than that of a black hole formed from nonspinning binary black holes; (iii) for the black-hole formation case, Fourier spectrum shape of gravitational waves emitted in the merger and ringdown phases has a universal qualitative feature irrespective of the total mass and mass ratio, but quantitatively, the spectrum reflects the parameters of the binary neutron stars.

description: We present an online, open and comprehensive template library of gravitational waveforms produced during the tidal disruptions of stars by massive black holes, spanning a broad space of parameters. We build this library thanks to a new feature that we implement in the general relativistic version of PHANTOM, a smoothed particle hydrodynamics code for three dimensional simulations in general relativity. We first perform a series of numerical tests to show that the gravitational wave (GW) signal obtained is in excellent agreement with the one expected from theory. This benchmark is done for well studied scenarios (such as binary stellar systems). We then apply our code to calculate the GW signals from tidal disruption events (TDEs), finding that our results are consistent with the theoretical estimates obtained in previous studies for selected parameters. We illustrate interesting results from the catalogue, where we stress how the gravitational signal is affected by variations of some parameters (like black hole spin, stellar orbital eccentricity and inclination). The full catalogue is available online. It is intended to be a living catalogue.

description: Excitation transfer through interacting systems plays an important role in many areas of physics, chemistry, and biology. The uncontrollable interaction of the transmission network with a noisy environment is usually assumed to deteriorate its transport capacity, especially so when the system is fundamentally quantum mechanical. Here we identify key mechanisms through which noise such as dephasing, perhaps counter intuitively, may actually aid transport through a dissipative network by opening up additional pathways for excitation transfer. We show that these are processes that lead to the inhibition of destructive interference and exploitation of line broadening effects. We illustrate how these mechanisms operate on a fully connected network by developing a powerful analytical technique that identifies the invariant (excitation trapping) subspaces of a given Hamiltonian. Finally, we show how these principles can explain the remarkable efficiency and robustness of excitation energy transfer from the light-harvesting chlorosomes to the bacterial reaction center in photosynthetic complexes and present a numerical analysis of excitation transport across the Fenna-Matthew-Olson (FMO) complex together with a brief analysis of its entanglement properties. Our results show that, in general, it is the careful interplay of quantum mechanical features and the unavoidable environmental noise that will lead to an optimal system performance.

description: Abstract

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized via a precipitation method using NaOH as the precipitating agent and ZnSO₄·7H₂O as the starting material. The synthesis process was conducted at the Department of Physics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. The resulting ZnO NPs were dried at 80°C and calcined at 500°C, yielding monodisperse particles with a wurtzite structure and an average crystallite size of 12 nm. Characterization techniques including UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the successful synthesis, revealing spherical morphologies and strong UV absorption properties. The study further explored the application of these ZnO NPs as an innovative nutrient management strategy to enhance maize (Zea mays L.) growth under salinity stress—a major challenge in agriculture. Hydroponic experiments were conducted to assess the impact of different Zn concentrations (2, 5, 10, 25 ppm) in both nanoparticle and conventional fertilizer forms under saline conditions (10 mM NaCl). The results demonstrated that ZnO NPs significantly outperformed conventional Zn fertilizers, enhancing biomass accumulation, morphological attributes, chlorophyll content, and water retention in maize. Optimal ZnO NP concentration (10 ppm) provided notable improvements in plant growth while minimizing the toxic effects of excessive zinc. These findings highlight the potential of ZnO NPs as a superior and sustainable approach to mitigating salinity stress in maize, offering valuable insights for future research and practical applications in crop management.

description: Il saggio indaga in una prospettiva storico-giuridica le ragioni della persistente interazione tra giurisdizione ecclesiastica e diritti dello Stato all’interno di una società plurireligiosa. In ogni epoca storica la riferita interazione è stata condizionata da due fattori: il rapporto tra potere temporale e spirituale, ed il grado di evoluzione dei principi di laicità e libertà religiosa. Su tali basi, si esaminano le ragioni che consentono ancora oggi alle pronunce canoniche di nullità matrimoniale di produrre effetti giuridici nell’ordinamento secolare, richiamando la più recente giurisprudenza di Cassazione sui limiti di accoglienza della sentenza canonica nell’ordinamento dello Stato, ed evidenziando i nuovi possibili scenari connessi alle ultime riforme sul Processo matrimoniale canonico.

description: Abstract

Illiteracy, characterized by the inability to read, write, and communicate in a standardized language, remains a pervasive challenge across Africa, particularly in sub-Saharan regions. This issue presents significant obstacles to various facets of societal development, including economic growth, healthcare, and education. However, its impact on religious institutions, particularly in the context of gospel ministry, is often underexplored. This article discusses the role of language literacy on the gospel ministry of the West-Central Africa Division (WAD) of Seventh-day Adventist Church, an area encompassing a diverse range of linguistic and cultural groups. The study aims to understand how literacy levels influence the dissemination of the gospel and the overall growth of the church in this region. By analyzing literacy rates across countries within the WAD, the article explores the correlation between literacy and church development, with a particular focus on membership ratios. The research reveals a strong link between higher literacy rates and increased church membership, suggesting that literacy plays a crucial role in the ability of individuals to engage with religious texts, participate in church activities, and embrace the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Furthermore, the article discusses the challenges faced by the church in regions with low literacy rates, including the limitations in accessing written religious materials and the reliance on oral traditions. It also examines the strategies employed by the Seventh-day Adventist Church to address these challenges, such as the promotion of literacy programs and the use of local languages in religious education. The findings highlight the importance of literacy as a foundational tool for spiritual growth and community development within the church. This study underscores the need for increased efforts to improve literacy in the West-Central Africa Division as a means of enhancing gospel ministry and church growth. It calls for a more integrated approach that combines literacy education with religious instruction to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their literacy level, can fully participate in the spiritual life of the church. The implications of this research extend beyond the Seventh-day Adventist Church, offering valuable insights for other religious organizations operating in regions with similar literacy challenges.

description: A self-driven car is a vehicle that can drive without human intervention by making correct decisions based on the environmental conditions. Since the innovation is in its beginning periods, totally moving beyond the human inclusion is still a long shot. However, rapid technological advancements are being made towards the safety of the driver and the passengers. One such safety feature is a Lane Detection System that empowers vehicle to detect road lane lines in various climate conditions.
This research provides a feasible and economical solution to detect the road lane lines while driving in a sunny, rainy, or snowy weather condition. An algorithm is designed to perform real time road lane line detection on a low voltage computer that can be easily powered in a regular auto vehicle.
The algorithm runs on a RaspberryPi computer placed inside the car. A camera, attached to the vehicle’s windshield, captures the real time images and passes them to the RaspberryPi for processing. The algorithm processes each frame and determines the lane lines. The detected lane lines can be viewed on a 7 inch display screen connected to the Raspberry Pi. The entire system is mounted inside a Jeep Wrangler to conduct the experiments and is powered by the vehicle’s standard charger of 12V-15V power supply. The algorithm provides approximately 97% accurate detection of road lane lines in all weather conditions.

description: In order to attain the requisite sensitivity for LISA - a joint space mission of the ESA and NASA- the laser frequency noise must be suppressed below the secondary noises such as the optical path noise, acceleration noise etc. By combining six appropriately time-delayed data streams containing fractional Doppler shifts - a technique called time delay interferometry (TDI) - the laser frequency noise may be adequately suppressed. We consider the general model of LISA where the armlengths vary with time, so that second generation TDI are relevant. However, we must envisage the possibility, that not all the optical links of LISA will be operating at all times, and therefore, we here consider the case of LISA operating with two arms only. As shown earlier in the literature, obtaining even approximate solutions of TDI to the general problem is very difficult. Since here only four optical links are relevant, the algebraic problem simplifies considerably. We are then able to exhibit a large number of solutions (from mathematical point of view an infinite number) and further present an algorithm to generate these solutions.

description: Abstract

Precision medicine has advanced significantly with the design and testing of liposomal carriers for the targeted administration of small interfering RNA (siRNA) in cancer therapy. In light of the introduced exploratory information and ends, this study focused on the creation and portrayal of cationic liposomes containing 3,4-DMA lipids for productive siRNA transport and quality silencing in cancer cells. Liposomes were tried for size, zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI), and DOTAP, Chol, and PEG colipids using electrophoretic light scattering and dynamic light scattering. In request to determine which lipoplex formulations were best at complexing with siRNA, we contrasted them with controls made with Lipofectamine 2000. These formulations were viewed as powerful in gel impediment and intracellular take-up in MDA-MB-231 cells. The liposomes' selectivity and biocompatibility towards cancer cells when contrasted with ordinary HEK 293 cells were affirmed by cytotoxicity study. Remarkably, these investigations showed how well C12-DMA liposomes containing PEG might advance the quietness of the surviving quality, a protein related with cancer cell endurance. These results suggest that the developed formulations may find application in targeted gene therapy, opening up new options for the development of cancer treatment strategies. In general, this study offers encouraging perspectives on the potential of liposomal carriers as a strong platform for targeted administration of siRNA in cancer therapy, opening the door to more efficient and individualized therapeutic approaches.

description: We used a local susceptibility approach in extensive polarized neutron diffraction studies of the spin liquid \tbti. For a magnetic field applied along the [110] and [111] directions, we found that, at high temperature, all Tb moments are collinear and parallel to the field. With decreasing temperature, the Tb moments reorient from the field direction to their local anisotropy axes. For the [110] field direction, the field induced magnetic structure at 10 K is spin ice-like, but with two types of Tb moments of very different magnitudes. For a field along [111], the magnetic structure resembles the so-called "one in-three out" found in spin ices, with the difference that all Tb moments have an additional component along the [111] direction due to the magnetic field. The temperature evolution of the local susceptibilities clearly demonstrates a progressive change from Heisenberg to Ising behavior of the Tb moments when lowering the temperature, which appears to be a crystal field effect.

description: The ScotGrid distributed Tier-2 now provides more that 4MSI2K and 500TB for LHC computing, which is spread across three sites at Durham, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Tier-2 sites have a dual role to play in the computing models of the LHC VOs. Firstly, their CPU resources are used for the generation of Monte Carlo event data. Secondly, the end user analysis data is distributed across the grid to the site's storage system and held on disk ready for processing by physicists' analysis jobs. In this paper we show how we have designed the ScotGrid storage and data management resources in order to optimise access by physicists to LHC data. Within ScotGrid, all sites use the gLite DPM storage manager middleware. Using the EGEE grid to submit real ATLAS analysis code to process VO data stored on the ScotGrid sites, we present an analysis of the performance of the architecture at one site, and procedures that may be undertaken to improve such. The results will be presented from the point of view of the end user (in terms of number of events processed/second) and from the point of view of the site, which wishes to minimise load and the impact that analysis activity has on other users of the system.

description: The entanglement produced by a bilinear Hamiltonian in continuous variables has been thoroughly studied and widely used. In contrast, the physics of entanglement resulting from nonlinear interaction described by partially degenerate high-order Hamiltonians remains unclear. Here, we derive a hierarchy of sufficient and necessary conditions for the positive-partial-transposition separability of bipartite nonlinear quantum states. The proposed criteria detect the nonpositive-partial-transposition inseparability of higher-order moments of states, which provides a systematic framework for the characterization of this kind of entanglement. Through numerical simulation of cubic and quartic Hamiltonians, we demonstrate the existence and competition of a hierarchy of entanglement witnesses, revealing the mechanism underlying such entanglement. Our results may provide a new direction in continuous variable quantum information processing.

description: Generic classical electron motion in a strong perpendicular magnetic field and random potential reduces to the bond percolation on a square lattice. Here we point out that for certain smooth 2D potentials with 120 degrees rotational symmetry this problem reduces to the site percolation on a triangular lattice. We use this observation to develop an approximate analytical description of the integer quantum Hall transition. For this purpose we devise a quantum generalization of the real-space renormalization group (RG) treatment of the site percolation on the triangular lattice. In quantum case, the RG transformation describes the evolution of the distribution of the $3\times 3$ scattering matrix at the sites. We find the fixed point of this distribution and use it to determine the critical exponent, $ν$, for which we find the value $ν\approx 2.3-2.76$. The RG step involves only a single Hikami box, and thus can serve as a minimal RG description of the quantum Hall transition.

description: We study subgap spectra of fermions localized within vortex cores in $^3$He-B. We develop an analytical treatment of the low-energy states and consider the characteristic properties of fermion spectra for different types of vortices. Due to the removed spin degeneracy the spectra of all singly quantized vortices consist of two different anomalous branches crossing the Fermi level. For singular $o$ and $u$ vortices the anomalous branches are similar to the standard Caroli-de Gennes -Matricon ones and intersect the Fermi level at zero angular momentum yet with different slopes corresponding to different spin states. On the contrary the spectral branches of nonsingular vortices intersect the Fermi level at finite angular momenta which leads to the appearance of a large number of zero modes, i.e. energy states at the Fermi level. Considering the $v$, $w$ and $uvw$ vortices with superfluid cores we show that the number of zero modes is proportional to the size of the vortex core.

description: Abstract

Background: Medication calculation, dispensing, and administration are one of the major tasks of nurses, and Medication Errors (MEs) are one of the most common errors in the medical field, where some of these errors are fatal. ME can be attributed to many causes, such as medication dosage calculation errors. Accordingly, this study aims to assess Jordanian nurses` competency regarding medication calculation and its associated factors. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used to assess the medication calculation skills of 126 registered nurses in Jordan, representing different departments of three governmental hospitals. Nurses’ dosage calculation skills were evaluated using self-administered Nursing Medication Calculation Competency Tool (NMCCT) prepared by experts in nursing practice assessing nurses’ medication calculation competency in oral, parenteral, and intravenous flow rate. Data was collected, data entry was done on a Microsoft Office Excel sheet, and analyzed using  SPSS 25.0. Results: Results show that 95% of participated nurses (n=120) did not receive any mathematical education during their university nursing program education, 84.9 % (n=107) reported absence of a medication calculation competency program at their respective hospitals. 79.7% (n=113) did not attend any medication calculation courses/programs after graduation and 90.5% of participated nurses reported unavailability of medication administration guidelines at their hospitals. The highest level of medication calculation competency was obtained for oral medications (65.1%) followed by intravenous flow rate calculation (57.9%), then parenteral/ intravenous medications calculation (48.9%). 27.8% (n=35) reported to be competent in the three aspects. The only factors that showed a significant impact on the total nurse's competency toward medication calculations were; the age of the participated nurse, availability of medication calculation competency programs at the participated hospitals, and attending medication calculation courses/programs after graduation (p= .045, .013, and <.001, respectively). Conclusion: Nursing curriculum and continuing education programs should recognize pharmaceutical education including drug calculation skills as an essential part of their content. Also, the researchers encourage the adoption of national wide learning/ competency program that is able to assess the level of competency, track gaps in medication calculation skills, and provide a supportive learning program in this aspect as needed.

description: Abstract

Cyberbullying is a type of harassment and a prevalent crime that is perpetrated or experienced by a person or groups of individuals via the use of electronic devices, and it frequently occurs among young people. Cyberbullying is well-recognized as a severe public health issue that affects adolescents. Most extant studies have focused on the national and regional effects of cyberbullying, with few examining the global perspective of cyberbullying. This systematic review comprehensively examines the global situation, gives an overview of cyberbullying-suicidal ideation, and clarifies existing results on the association between exposure to cyberbullying and suicidal ideation, risk factors, and the association between cyberbullying and suicidal ideation among adolescents. A systematic review of available literature was completed following PRISMA guidelines using the search themes “cyberbullying” and “suicidal ideation”; the time frame was from January 1st, 2018 to March 27th, 2024. Studies were searched on: Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCO, and SAGE Journal. Additional records identified through other sources included the references of reviews and two websites, Cyberbullying Research Center and United Nations Children’s Fund. A total of 18 studies out of 4,564 were included in our final evaluation focusing on cyberbullying victimization and suicidal ideation with a reliability of 0.838 with Cohen’s Kappa method. The prevalence rates of cyberbullying victimization ranged from 6.0 to 46.3%, while the rates of suicidal ideation ranged from 13.99 to 57.5%, based on 63 references. Verbal violence was the most common type of cyberbullying. Fourteen risk factors and three protective factors were revealed in this study. At the personal level, variables associated with cyberbullying including age, gender, online behavior, race, health condition, experience of victimization, and impulsiveness were reviewed as risk factors. Likewise, at the situational level, parent-child relationships, interpersonal relationships, and geographical location were also reviewed concerning cyberbullying. As for protective factors, empathy and emotional intelligence, parent-child relationship, and school climate.
SOCIOGRAPHY OF THE STATUS OF INFORMAL ENTREPRENEUR IN KASSERINE, TUNISIA

Subjects: Informal Economy, Type of Business, Social Capital, Operating Logic, Kasserine Region, Tunisia.

description: Abstract

The informal economy is a phenomenon that is mainly found in developing countries. Africa is the continent that has the most informal people living in the informal sector. The aim of this research is to conceptualize and understand the phenomenon of the informal economy; first, through a review of the literature on the subject, and second, through the study of three informal enterprises in Kasserine, Tunisia. The literature review will attempt to place the phenomenon in question in its Tunisian context, i.e. cultural, political and economic, while the empirical study will aim to grasp the logic of the functioning of informal business. In the light of our results, informal enterprises in Kasserine do not quite correspond to the quantitative definitions of informal enterprise developed by the authors studied. However, largely confirming our hypothesis, we have observed that its operating logic is significantly more social than is the case for modern capitalist companies. Essentially, the informal business in Kasserine exists by and for the family, which is the basis of Tunisian values.
