Rethinking Fate or Maktub in Paulo Coelhos The Alchemist through Taoism
Brazilian author Paulo Coelhos The Alchemist is believed to be a work that inspires readers to reflect upon their dreams and pursue them. While it is a matter of discussion as to what makes the novel so, one of the apparent reasons is the compelling presence of philosophical ideas like Taoism. However, the presence of Taoismthe idea of going with the universes flow - contradicts Coelhos use of the idea of fate or Maktub present in the same work. While Maktub stands for a pre-determined destiny, this research paper closely analyses how Taoist principles in The Alchemist contradict the authors use of the concept of fate or destiny through the actions and dialogues of notable characters. 2023 The Author(s).

Return and volatility spillover between India, UK, USA and European stock markets: The Brexit impact
The 2016 Brexit referendum created potential turmoil in financial markets. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the Brexit referendum on the return and volatility spillover between the EU, the UK, and the USA stock markets and the Indian stock market during the pre- and post-Brexit referendum period. The VAR and bivariate GARCH BEKK models were employed. The study results suggest that before the Brexit referendum, Indian stock market returns made no significant return spillover on the other markets. On the contrary, following the referendum, Indian stock returns significantly spilled over to France, Germany, the UK, and the USA stock market returns. The study results also identified a substantial increase in the bidirectional volatility spillover between India-France, India-UK, and India-USA during the post-Brexit referendum period. Therefore, the investors opportunity to invest simultaneously in India, UK, EU, and US stock markets for portfolio diversification is limited. India was affected mainly by its own past shocks before the Brexit referendum. However, after the Brexit referendum, Indian markets are getting more and more integrated with other markets. In order to reap the diversification benefits, a prudent investment strategy will need to be developed in the future, especially during times of economic and political uncertainty and market crisis.

Return volatility transmission among Asian stock exchanges: Evidence from a heterogeneous market outlook
. This pragmatic research strives to reveal the return volatility transmission throughout Asian stock exchanges, by employing variance decomposition technique of Vector autoregressive (VAR) based framework. Additionally, the current examination exerts a Granger causality approach to detect short-term cause and effect among the stock exchanges. The consequence of volatility spill-over exhibits the dominancy of Indian, Chinese and Japanese exchanges in terms of net volatility transmitter. Further, it is found that Korean, Thai, and Malaysian stock exchanges seem to be net receiver of volatility in Asia. Additionally, the outcome of current investigation reveals neutrality of Bangladeshi and Pakistani stock exchange, as the returns volatility of these stock exchange are not influenced by any other Asian stock exchanges. Furthermore, the result of Granger causality analysis signifies the existence of unidirectional causality among the Asian stock exchanges. In terms of policy implication, it is imperative for investors and policymakers to closely monitor the behaviour of the Japanese stock exchange, as it plays a significant role as a net transmitter of volatility to other stock exchanges in Asia. By keeping a vigilant eye on the Japanese stock exchange, investors can better assess and manage potential risks and opportunities in the region. 2023 IOS Press. All rights reserved. -

REVIEW OF CENSORING SCHEMES: CONCEPTS, DIFFERENT TYPES, MODEL DESCRIPTION, APPLICATIONS AND FUTURE SCOPE
Survival analysis is one of the key techniques utilized in the domains of reliability engineering, statistics, and medical domains. It focuses on the period between the initialization of an experiment and a subsequent incident. Censoring is one of the key aspects of survival analysis, and the techniques created in this domain are designed to manage various censoring schemes with ease, ensuring accurate and insightful time-to-event data analysis. The statistical efficiency of parameter estimates is improved by accurately incorporating censoring information by making use of the available data. This paper reviews the concepts, model descriptions, and applications of conventional and hybrid censoring schemes. The introduction of new censoring schemes from conventional censoring schemes has evolved by rectifying the drawbacks of the previous schemes, which are explained in detail in this study. The evolution of hybrid censoring schemes through the combination of various conventional censoring schemes, the data structures, concepts, methodology, and existing literature works of hybrid censoring schemes are reviewed in this work. 2024, Gnedenko Forum.

Review of Development and Characterisation of Shape Memory Polymer Composites Fabricated Using Additive Manufacturing Technology
Structures as well as components are generated by depositing filaments on one another via the technique of additive manufacturing. Among the various processes of printing, 4D printing combines the technology of 3D printing with the passage of time, resulting in additively generated parts that are responsive to stimuli from the outside via modifications of their form, volume, size, or mechanical qualities. Thus, the materials of shape memory are used in 4D printing and respond to environmental factors including temperature, pH, and humidity. Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are materials with a shape memory effect that are best suited for additive manufacturing. Contrarily, the method named fused filament fabrication (FFF) is employed most frequently among all additive manufacturing methods. In this regard, the objective of the present study is to evaluate all investigations that have been conducted on 4D-FFF materials mechanical properties. The study offers an unparalleled overview that highlights the possibilities of 4D FFF printing across multiple applications in engineering while keeping the end structures or components structural integrity in consideration. 2023 by the authors. -
Review of Neuropsychological and Electrophysiological Correlates of Callous-unemotional Traits in Children: Implications for EEG Neurofeedback Intervention
Conduct disorder is a significant psychiatric disorder of childhood and adolescence. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth version (DSM-5), added the limited prosocial specifier to identify those individuals who exhibit a more severe pattern of behavior characterized by a callous and unemotional (CU) interpersonal style across multiple settings and relationships. This review has attempted to summarize the relevant research focusing on the significance of CU interpersonal style in the development of psychopathy. The primary focus was on the electrophysiological and neuropsychological correlates of CU traits and their implication on the treatment protocol using neurofeedback training for children with such traits. The source of the literature search was PubMed, which majorly uses the MEDLINE database. The keywords used included CU traits, conduct disorder, child psychopathy, empathy, electrophysiology, criminal behavior, neuropsychology, neurofeedback training, and so on. Studies from the last 15 years were considered for the review. This review revealed that children with conduct disorder and high-CU traits with a combination of reactive and proactive aggression are more likely to develop psychopathy. Evidence suggests that these children have distinct forms of electrophysiological and neuropsychological correlates. However, research in this area is still not conclusive as they yield variation in findings. Studies on the efficacy of neurofeedback training on reducing symptoms such as impulsivity, hostility, and psychopathy indicate that neurofeedback training can be a promising treatment alternative for children with severe conduct disorder.

Review on developments in nand flash page replacement algorithms
The non volatility, low power consumption and high density of NAND flash memories, made them an inevitable part of electronic industry. Due to the high wear out nature exhibited by flash systems, the algorithms used for page replacement in traditional memory systems are not suitable for flash page replacement. Along with the objective to maintain high hit rate, flash page replacement algorithms should aim at decreasing the page write count and maintain wear levelling. This paper presents major algorithms proposed for flash memory page replacement. The major contribution of this work is a relative study on various strategies, performance matrices and evaluation tools used for flash page replacement algorithm. The study shall help the researchers to identify the pros and cons of various flash page replacement algorithms, to identify the major gaps in between and to identify some commendable tools that can be used for flash page replacement algorithm evaluation. The gaps identified need to be addressed seriously in the near future. 2020, Engg Journals Publications. All rights reserved. -
Review on Durability of Geopolymer Concrete Developed with Industrial and Agricultural Byproducts
High population growth has increased the requirement for infrastructure development tremendously. Building materials like ordinary portland cement which is the primary component in concrete is growing due to the increased demand for new infrastructure. Concrete is the world's second most consumed material. Special concrete called Geopolymer concrete (GPC), is grabbing the interest of researchers as substitute to ordinary portland cement concrete (OPCC). Manufacture of cement is highly energy intensive and leads to large quantity of CO2 emission to atmosphere which in turn leads to global warming. Thus, replacement of cement with geopolymer material minimises pollution in two ways: by lowering cement consumption and utilisation and by lowering CO2 emission. Various industrial and agricultural waste materials like fly ash, metakolin, ground granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume, rice husk ash, sugarcane bagasse ash etc. are abundantly available. These aluminosilicate sources have been widely employed to develop geopolymer concrete with high strength, thermal resistance, and durability. This article is a review of research on the durability aspects of geopolymer concrete, its most significant durability parameters like resistance to acid attack, sulphate attack, water absorption, porosity, sorptivity, rapid chloride penetration, wet and dry cycle have been reviewed to comprehend these vital issues. 2023 -
Review on impacts of micro- and nano-plastic on aquatic ecosystems and mitigation strategies
The rapid proliferation of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in our environment presents a formidable hazard to both biotic and abiotic components. These pollutants originate from various sources, including commercial production and the breakdown of larger plastic particles. Widespread contamination of the human body, agroecosystems, and animals occurs through ingestion, entry into the food chain, and inhalation. Consequently, the imperative to devise innovative methods for MPs and NPs remediation has become increasingly apparent. This review explores the current landscape of strategies proposed to mitigate the escalating threats associated with plastic waste. Among the array of methods in use, microbial remediation emerges as a promising avenue for the decomposition and reclamation of MPs and NPs. In response to the growing concern, numerous nations have already implemented or are in the process of adopting regulations to curtail MPs and NPs in aquatic habitats. This paper aims to address this gap by delving into the environmental fate, behaviour, transport, ecotoxicity, and management of MPs and NPs particles within the context of nanoscience, microbial ecology, and remediation technologies. Key findings of this review encompass the intricate interdependencies between MPs and NPs and their ecosystems. The ecological impact, from fate to ecotoxicity, is scrutinized in light of the burgeoning environmental imperative. As a result, this review not only provides an encompassing understanding of the ecological ramifications of MPs and NPs but also highlights the pressing need for further research, innovation, and informed interventions. 2023 Elsevier B.V. -

Revisiting Television in India: Mapping the Portrayal of Women in Soap Operas
This article attempts to map the portrayal of women in popular soap operas on television in India. It begins with the discourses around portrayal of women on Doordarshan in the pre-liberalisation era and goes on to analyse a few soap operas in the past one decade. With substantive review of visual texts, it aims to disprove the claim that there is a paradigm shift especially with respect to the portrayal of women in the contemporary and so-called progressive soap operas. It concludes by comparing all the phases of development of television in India with respect to construction of women and stating how very little and inconsequential change has occurred in this regard in spite of all the efforts from the state and the intellectual community. 2018 Indian Sociological Society. -
