The findings can serve as a basis for further research and the development of new approaches to working with this special group. In the future, it is important to investigate how different forms of EI-based therapies can affect specific aspects of emotional development in children and adults with ASD. The possibility of integrating EI into existing therapeutic approaches and programmes is also an area for further research aimed at developing more comprehensive clinical intervention strategies.

A cloud-based architecture for explainable Big Data analytics using self-structuring Artificial Intelligence

Big Data is steadily expanding beyond the boundaries of its foundational constructs of three primary Vs, Volume, Velocity and Variety, and two secondary Vs, Veracity and Value. The advent of 5G networks, Edge computing and IoT technologies has transformed Big Data into this modern context. With these new manifestations of Big Data, the focus is not only on the data itself but on the context that it applies to its immediate environment as well as the human and societal perception of this context. It is increasingly challenging for conventional AI algorithms to process and transform this data, analyse and visualise a broad spectrum of insights, and then formulate the explainability of such insights in terms of bias, transparency, safety, ethics, and causality. Self-structuring Artificial Intelligence (SSAI) addresses the limitations of conventional AI by adapting to the inherent structure of the data, incrementally learning and abstracting from this structure. SSAI has not been investigated in a cloud-based setting for generating explainable insights from these new types of Big Data. In this paper we propose a cloud-based architecture for explainable Big Data analytics using SSAI in highly-connected 5G and Edge computing environments. The proposed architecture is empirically evaluated on a commercial scale Big Data use case of Smart Grid for Smart Cities. The results of these experiments confirm the functionality and effectiveness of the proposed architecture.

A Review of Mineralogical Identification of Ayurvedic Rasa Dravyasa in Modern Context

The metals and mineral drugs in Rasashastra are primarily categorized into different groups such as Maharasa, Uparasa, Sadharanarasa, Dhatu, Sudha, Sikta, and Ratna. These categories describe their origins, acceptable properties, and the various processes involved in making drugs for therapeutic use as well as preparation of noble metals. In ancient times, the identification of raw drugs relied mainly based on sensory factors like color, smell, texture, and taste. However, this data alone is insufficient to establish universal standards for both raw drug identification and the scientific detection of adulteration in finished products. Today, a multitude of modern tools and techniques are available for identifying metals and minerals, such as nature, crystal habit, color, streak, cleavage, fracture, lustre, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), chromatography, tenacity, transparency, magnetism, hardness, specific gravity (density), and fluorescence, chemical assay and markers. Thus, my present study is plan to evaluate and compile different data in term of modern parameters and results as well as Grahya lakschans (acceptable characters) for identifying mineral drugs in Rasa shastra.

The Efficacy of Amruta Guggulu (Internal) and Madhuyashtyadi Taila (External) in the Management of Vatarakta w.s.r. to Gouty Arthritis

Ayurveda is the only medical science which has focused more on prevention of diseases and maintenance of health. The system advocates for a balance between lifestyle, diet, upright attitude. In the modern context of life, people and their dietary habits, lifestyle, social structure and environment have undergone a remarkable change leading to many avoidable diseases. Vatarakta is one among those diseases. The name Vatarakta indicates the unique pathology of morbid Vata dosha and Rakta dhatu. Based on aetiolgy, pathogenesis, signs and symptoms Vatarakta can be compared with Gouty Arthritis of contemporary medicine. It is a painful metabolic disorder caused due to hyperuricemia, which in turn is caused by genetic factors, dietary factors which are rich in purine, alcohol consumption, drugs, smoking and lack of physical activity. In moderns medicine Gouty Arthritis is treated by NSAIDS, steroids, uricosuric agents, allopurinol, febuxostat etc. But in due course all these drugs can lead to adverse effects when used for long duration. This causes additional trouble to the patients. Keeping this in view, there is a need for simple, safe and effective treatment. Hence this study has been initiated to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Amruta guggulu (internal) and Madhuyashtyadi taila (external) in the management of Vatarakta w.s.r to Gouty Arthritis.

By understanding the past trends and developments in ceramic trade, we can better navigate the challenges and opportunities in the global marketplace.

샤오훙 단편소설에 나타난 비극성 연구

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the tragic elements in the short stories “Wangasujeoksa,” “Gyo,” and “Soseongsamwol” by Xiao Hong. All three works connect their characters to the tragedy of death. This reflects how, despite China's attempts at new progress and innovation through the Xinhai Revolution and the May Fourth Movement in the early 20th century, lower-class women remained in poverty and became victims of an irrational social structure. This study aims to examine the tragedy in Xiao Hong's short stories within the unique historical context of China's modern and contemporary era. In particular, her short stories such as “Wangasujeoksa,” “Gyo,” and “Soseongsamwol” depict characters who, amidst the backdrop of China's transition during the modern and contemporary era, all meet tragic ends, succumbing to poverty, despair, misfortune, and suffering. Therefore, it seeks to explore the tragedy in the context of Chinese modern history by examining Xiao Hong's tragic worldview, her consciousness of tragedy, and the tragic experiences of her characters. If the previous research analyzed the tragedy in Xiao Hong's mid-length novels, this study focuses on the tragedy depicted in Xiao Hong's short stories within the context of modern and contemporary China. This research aims to find ways to study Xiao Hong's short stories from various perspectives.

Perceived Staff Motivation on the Adoption of Total Quality Management Practices in Nigeria

This study explores the relationship between employee motivation and the effective adoption of Total Quality Management (TQM) within modern organizational contexts in Nigeria. TQM, renowned for its all-encompassing strategy for continual enhancement, is widely recognized for its positive impact on product and service quality, employee involvement, and overall organizational effectiveness. Despite these well-documented benefits, the pivotal role of motivation in cultivating a TQM culture represents a critical yet insufficiently examined dimension. This study adopts a quantitative method using a closed-ended self-administered questionnaire to investigate the connections between motivation and TQM. The research focuses on assessing the levels of employee motivation within organizations practising TQM principles. It examines the resulting impact on various TQM dimensions, such as employee involvement and service quality. The findings revealed that staff motivation through intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation significantly affects the involvement of employees and the service quality of the selected deposit money banks in the Ilorin metropolis. The findings of this research highlight the importance of motivation in influencing TQM practices. Organizations should be mindful of the balance between intrinsic and extrinsic motivators to foster a work environment that promotes long-term commitment and performance. Practically, the results can guide organizations in developing and implementing strategies to motivate staff in a way that supports the successful implementation of TQM practices. The findings contributed significantly to the existing body of knowledge by elucidating the critical role motivation plays in shaping TQM practices.

Taphonomy of human burials on beacon Island: archaeological observations informing forensic interpretations

ABSTRACT This paper demonstrates how the complex interaction of a number of intrinsic and extrinsic taphonomic factors have differentially affected the relative preservation of the skeletal remains recovered from Beacon Island. These include: local geology and hydrology; flora and fauna; human interactions; and burial type (e.g. body position and number). The latter function to demonstrate that contemporary burials dating to 1629 can present markedly divergent taphonomic ‘alterations’, even those buried within close proximity to one-another. It is evident that alterations can arise in a very short-time frame (months to a few years) and their recognition in a modern context is thus of forensic relevance. These are accordingly illustrated and described relative to their potential to inform forensic interpretations in a modern case-work context.

Olive reproductive biology: implications for yield, compatibility conundrum, and environmental constraints.

Olive (Olea europaea L.) is an important Mediterranean tree species with a longstanding history of cultivation, boasting a diverse array of local cultivars. While traditional olive orchards are valued for their cultural and aesthetic significance, they often face economic sustainability challenges in the modern context. The success of both traditional and newly introduced cultivars (e.g. those obtained by cross-breeding) is hindered by self-incompatibility, a prevalent issue for this species that results in low fruit set when limited genetic diversity is present. Further, biological, environmental, and agronomic factors have been shown to interlink in shaping fertilization patterns, hence impacting on the final yield. Climatic conditions during pollination, such as excessive rainfall or high temperatures, can further exacerbate the problem. In this work, we provide an overview of the various factors that trigger the phenomenon of suboptimal fruit set in olive trees. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the interplay among these factors, shedding light on potential mechanisms and pathways that contribute to the observed outcomes in the context of self-incompatibility in olive.

Old Han Kou of China: Collective memory and space for nostalgia in the context of contemporary society

This study explores the urban space and historical development changes in Old Han Kou within the context of modernization, focusing on the collective memory and spatial transformations of old buildings in Old Han Kou from the late Qing Dynasty colonial period to the modernization era of New China. Furthermore, it delves into the nostalgic space consumption related to the collective memory of Old Han Kou. This research primarily employs qualitative research methods, utilizing literature analysis, questionnaire surveys, and in-depth interviews to collect extensive data and conduct systematic induction, analysis, and inference. The study's findings reveal that Old Han Kou is not merely a physical space but also carries profound historical, cultural, and emotional values. It holds irreplaceable significance for nostalgic spaces and collective memory. It serves as a bridge connecting the past for contemporary individuals while also providing valuable resources for the sustainable development of communities and society. Experiencing nostalgic spaces through consumption offers a new perspective for gaining a deeper understanding of the historical, cultural, and spatial values of Old Han Kou. Moreover, it provides robust theoretical support for future preservation and inheritance efforts.

From “Resist Manchus” to “Anti-Japanese”

Nationalist thought existed in ancient China, and the traditional nationalist thought in China, including the late Qing Dynasty, carried strong “racism” color, which was used by the ruling class to distinguish between “foreign and domestic” and justify orthodoxy. During the Anti-Japanese War, due to the unprecedentedly serious national crisis, the nationalist thought of nationalism continued to awaken. Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party advocated national unity and encouraged the army and the people in their own different ways. So far, the historical context of clarifying nationalist thought has obviously shifted from the contradiction between “Han people and barbarians” to the contradiction between the Chinese nation and foreign invaders. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to glimpse a modern context from the evolution of modern nationalist thought during the two Sino-Japanese War.

Quantifying the diffusion history of Yangmingism

AbstractYangmingism, a crucial component of Chinese Confucianism, has profoundly impacted the development of Eastern civilization throughout history and gained new significance within modern contexts. This study employs social network and GIS spatial analyses to investigate the spatio-temporal evolution and patterns of Yangmingism during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Conclusions drawn include: (1) Yangmingism spread during the Ming and Qing dynasties followed five phases (rise-peak-decline-revival-trough), consistent with general cultural diffusion processes. (2) The spatial structure of regions accepting Yangmingism changed from polycentric to localized ribbon-polycentric, then to monocentric, polycentric, and ultimately, fragmented distribution. Diffusion began with a point-axis structure along traffic routes, transitioned to a core-periphery spatial structure, and returned to a point-axis structure due to reduced diffusion potential energy. (3) Yangmingism diffusion exhibited distance decay characteristics, with the most extensive diffusion in the Han cultural region, primarily located within the middle and lower reaches of the Ganjiang River basin and the Yangtze River Delta. (4) Yangmingism diffusion reflected influences from local administrative hierarchies and cultural development. During the rise-to-peak phase, Yangmingism reached areas with higher administrative and cultural levels, while during the peak-to-decline phase, it disseminated from higher to lower hierarchy regions. (5) The spatial diffusion of Yangmingism is mainly relocation diffusion, followed by expansion diffusion. In the process of relocation diffusion, Yangmingism may reverse the diffusion from the “target regions” to the “source regions” due to the influence of the radiation of the high-ranking regions and the cultural innovation of the “target regions”.

Performance analysis of EDM parameters on silicon nitride-titanium nitride composite for improving geometrical tolerances: an integrated GRA-RSM approach

ABSTRACT In the modern context, ceramic composites are being developed not just for increased strength and hardness but also for the ability to manufacture difficult to machine geometries that can use Electrical Discharge Machining. Sparking parameters such as current (I), pulse on time (Ton), pulse off time (Toff), and dielectric flushing pressure (P) are improved with multi-response factors such as material removal rate, Electrode Wear Rate, and Geometrical Errors. The results of the confirmation experiments indicate that machining time was decreased from 12.517 to 10.121 min, Material Removal Rate was increased from 0.0183 to 0.0215 g/min, Electrode Wear Rate was reduced from 0.0024 to 0.0002 g/min, circularity was decreased from 0.175 mm to 0.098 mm, cylindricality was decreased from 0.761 to 0.541 mm, and perpendicularity was decreased from 1.071 to 0.085 mm. By optimizing the data to its optimum level, the gray relational grade has been enhanced to 0.16464. Consequently, the experimental findings suggest that gray relational analysis can be effectively employed to optimize the machining settings of Spark Electrical Discharge Machining for various performance aspects.

Hearing God’s call one more time: Retrieving calling in theology of work

Calling is a very important concept in Christianity. In the medieval era, calling was restricted to ecclesiastical work alone, a devotion to the life of contemplation. Ordinary work or physical labour was not considered qualified to be a calling. Martin Luther was the one who taught that the ordinary work of the ordinary people was also God’s calling and equally spiritual as the ecclesiastical work. However, Miroslav Volf, a Croatian theologian, criticised Luther that his view of calling was too static and irrelevant to the modern context where people often choose to quit a job because of its negative effects and some people have to do multiple jobs in order to make ends meet. While recognising the validity of Volf’s critique, this article seeks to demonstrate that even in the modern context, calling is still a very important theological concept to reflect upon work. Luther’s vocational view of work could be retrieved in discussing the theology of work by putting it in dialogue with Calvin, Kuyper, and other theologians.Contribution: This article seeks to show that the concept of calling is indispensable in constructing a sound theology of work for the modern context. By understanding work as calling, Christian workers are enabled to see how they are participating in God’s redemptive work through their jobs.

Lower Intraoperative and Immediate Postoperative Complications in Robotic Versus Conventional Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis of Over 360,000 Patients.

Although a trend of an improved alignment with robotic total hip arthroplasty (THA) over conventional methods has surfaced from recent series, it is unknown whether these results translate into meaningful enhancements in postoperative outcomes. To address this lack in the literature, we compared the perioperative morbidity and mortality with robotic and conventional THA in a large national cohort of 367,894 patients. We hypothesized that no significant differences would exist in the outcomes between the two groups. Records were extracted from 2016-2019 from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project which is the largest in-patient database in the United States. From 367,894 THAs, robotics were employed for 7,863 patients. The remaining 360,031 conventional THAs served as controls. The two groups were compared for demographics, admission, and hospital stay details including costs, and mortality and morbidity data including medical and surgical complications. Descriptive statistics were used for demographic data while analytical statistics including t-tests, chi-squared tests, Fischer exact test, and Pearson chi-squared tests were used for perioperative outcomes. Statistical significance was set at p<0.005. Demographic distributions between robotic and conventional THA groups displayed similar age and sex characteristics. Shorter mean lengths of stay (1.87 days) were seen in robotic THA versus conventional THA (2.33 days) while higher costs were noted for the former (mean $68,686.71 vs $66,840.39) (p<0.005). Low overall mortality (0.03% robotic, 0.09% conventional) was seen in both groups (p>0.005). Higher comparative incidences of anemia, acute renal failure, and pneumonia were seen in conventional THA (p<0.005) while no significant differences were noted for other complications including myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and cardiac arrest (p>0.005). Among others, lower dislocation rates, mechanical complications, periprosthetic joint infection, and periprosthetic fractures were seen with robotic THA (p<0.005). Wound complications and superficial infection rates did not differ between the two groups (p>0.005). Evidence has emerged from our results to support more routine adaptation of the robotic option of performing a THA. These can be based on lower local, systemic, and mechanical complications as demonstrated by the present study. Further evaluation of these results in follow-up would help establish the foothold of robotic surgery in total hip replacement in the modern context.
