 Abstract

An art form constituting the interlocution of human psyche, emotions, subtlety and other forms of creativity confirming the mastery over artistic merit can be accounted as literature. In this aspect, literature evokes rationale and critical thinking in human psyche. Furthermore, literature connects the readers through various modes of literary composition and enriches social consciousness and aesthetic appreciation at the peripheries. Being located between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn, Africa as a nation consists various ethnicities who would sensitise the sensibilities of nationhood irrespective of cultural diversity. Moreover, African Literature addresses the issues of slave trade, gender discrimination, racism and embodies literary aspects on slave narratives, postcolonial perspectives and trauma narratives prior to colonization. With the emergence of literary theories, psychoanalytic criticism facilitates the reader in analysing the psyche of characters in literary texts. In this view, Zakes Mda, South African novelist depicts the Post-apartheid South Africa in one of his works Ways of Dying. Toloki, the predominant character, was marginalized and traumatized by the society finds solace in his own community. The chief motive of the paper is to analyse the traumatic events encountered by Toloki in his lifetime in the violent city of South Africa.

 Abstract

This research describes a unique conformal antenna design that delivers higher bandwidth and gain while using a compact and mild flexible substrate appropriate for Military aviation Communication. Conformal antennas are widely used in satellite communication because they may be built to adapt to the curvature of the surface, allowing for better aerodynamics and lower drag. The antenna's conformal design allows it to be fitted into a variety of military platforms, offering effective communication and sensor capabilities. The antenna substrate is made of RT5880(lossy) flexible Rogers with a dielectric constant of 2.2 and a loss tangent of unity. Rogers RT/duroid is a high-frequency laminate material that is frequently used as an antenna substrate. The material is appropriate for high-frequency applications due to its low dielectric constant, low loss tangent, and great thermal stability. Copper is used to create the Patch and Ground planes. The antenna was measured and simulated with one element powered and the surrounding elements terminated in 50-ohm resistive loads. The microstrip patch antenna components' estimated reflection coefficients suggested a narrowband match at 5.2 GHz. The antenna's performance is optimized during the design process by using electromagnetic simulation software. The radiation pattern, gain, and impedance matching are all evaluated throughout the analysis.

 Abstract

Soil having poor bearing and shearing strength need stabilization to make it suitable for construction purpose. If the soil is weak and has not enough stability to resist heavy loading, the soil should be reinforced and stabilized. As the quality of the soil is increased, the ability of the soil to distribute the load over a greater area is generally increased. Soil stabilization refers to alteration of soil properties to improve the stability or bearing power of the soil by controlled compaction, proportioning or by adding admixtures. Soil stabilization can be done by different methods like mechanical, chemical stabilization or by using different types of admixtures. The samples are prepared at their respective maximum dry density and optimum moisture content. From the study, it is observed that the friction angle increases by 26% at fiber content of 0.5% and fiber length of 6mm. The fiber reinforced low plasticity clay exhibited crack fracture and surface shear fracture failure modes, implying that polyester fiber is good earth reinforcement material with potential applications in civil engineering.

 Abstract

This study is focused on investigating how optimism impacts perceived stress and social interaction anxiety. Focus is also put on understanding how the relationships differ between different genders. A sample of 229 young adults (age range of 19 to 25 years) had been chosen. It consisted of 135 men, 92 women and 2 from other gender. Each participant was given three questionnaires to fill - the 'Revised Life Orientation Test', the 'Perceived Stress Scale' and the 'Social Interaction Anxiety Inventory'. T-test, correlation and regression were used to draw relevant inferences. It was concluded that the level of optimism is inversely related to the level of perceived stress and to the level of social interaction anxiety. When analysed in terms of gender, it was concluded that females showed stronger inverse relationship between optimism and perceived stress and between optimism and social interaction anxiety than males.

 Abstract

This research aimed to study significant relationship between engagement in creative behaviour and ruminative thinking. Creative behaviour is doing an activity which is creative in nature. Rumination is repetitive thoughts about the past and future, that interferes with other activities. Adolescents and young adults tend to have higher ruminative tendencies. Aesthetic enjoyment may have a good effect on one's emotional state, maybe resulting in an improvement in wellbeing. this research focused on finding out whether engaging in creative behaviour helped in reducing rumination. Purposive random sampling was used for sample selection in this study. The Creative Behavior Inventory (Short Form) and Rumination response scale were used to collect sample responses. The results indicated a significant positive correlation between creative behaviour and rumination. This suggests that individuals with higher creative behaviour tend to have higher rumination, and vice versa, although the correlation was not found to be extremely strong.

 Abstract

The rising burden of cancer worldwide calls fo r an alternative treatment solution. Herbal medicine provides a very feasible alternative to western medicine against cancer. This article reviews the selected plant species with active phytochemicals, the animal models used for these studies, and their regulatory aspects. This study is based on a meticulous literature review conducted through the search of relevant keywords in databases, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Twenty plants were selected based on defined selection criteria for their potent anticancer compounds. The detailed analysis of the research studies revealed that plants play an indispensable role in fighting different cancers such as breast, stomach, oral, colon, lung, hepatic, cervical, and blood cancer cell lines. The in vitro studies showed cancer cell inhibition through DNA damage and activation of apoptosis-inducing enzymes by the secondary metabolites in the plant extracts. Studies that reported in vivo activities of these plants showed remarkable results in the inhibition of cancer in animal models. Further studies should be performed on exploring more plants, their active compounds, and the mechanism of anticancer actions for use as standard herbal medicine.

 Abstract

In this paper, we create a stock-keeping system for perishable goods within a constrained time frame for future planning. We have done our research in an inflationary setting to make it more applicable to the current market. Understanding inflation has provided researchers with a tool that can be used in a wider variety of settings without raising eyebrows. It is important to note that the chosen environment is specific to the original setting in which the model was created. Most researchers have ignored the decay factor or assumed a constant decay rate in the inventory model, which is not practical. We consider an inventory where the deterioration rate increases linearly with time, which is more realistic. The problem is formulated in a mathematical model and used to find the best solution. The robustness of the model and its responsiveness to parameter changes are tested in a number of ways. At last, a simulation is executed to verify the results.

 Abstract

- In detector networks, energy and data live are both limited resources. In an effort to increase detector network lives, the energy economical routing downside has previously been thoroughly researched, but the link system of measurement has been overly optimistically assumed to be abundant. Energy constraints have an impact on data routing, link measurement systems have an impact on each link's allowable rate as well as the routing topology, which has an impact on life. Previous studies that concentrate on energy-efficient operations in detector networks with the "only real" goal of extending network life only consider the energy limitation while disregarding the data live constraint. This study demonstrates how unrealistic these solutions could become whenever a measurement system imposes a restriction. It offers a brand-new mathematical framework that considers all energy and data life constraints and suggests two cost-effective algorithms for rate allocation and routing. Simulation findings demonstrate that these algorithms considerably enhance the product and offer more feasible routing solutions than prior studies. a technique for distributing the range that the provided link rates support is granted. The cross-layer design technique completely resolves the hidden terminal and exposed terminal issues while improving channel maximization noticeably.
