Risk Factors of Upper Respiratory Tract Infection among Children: A Case Study at Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka
The children constitute a large proportion of the total population of Bangladesh are a vulnerable or special risk group, deserving special health care as the child mortality and morbidity risks are much higher than older age. This descriptive type of cross-sectional study was carried out at Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka Cantonment, Dhaka during first week of July 2024 to last week of December 2024 with an aim to find out Risk Factor of Upper Respiratory Tract Infection among Under Five Children. A total of 71 children were purposively selected and data was collected by administering semi-structured questionnaire. Out of total 71 respondents maximum age 26(36.6%) of the children were in between 1-10 months and minimum age 4(5.6%) of the children were in between 51-60 months. The present study revealed that among all respondents’ maximum educational level of respondents 22(31.1%) were HSC. According to monthly family income, most of the respondents 28(39.4%) monthly family income were 21000-30000/- Taka. Considering the seasonal variation, most of the children 43(60.6%) had suffered due to seasonal variation. The present study depicted that most of the children 57(80.3%) were completed their vaccination according to EPI schedule. It was evident from the study among the respondents 66(93.01%) had well lighted facilities. This study depicts that minimum of respondents’ family members 17(23.9%) were smoker. The present study showed that among the URTI cases, there were 11(10.9%) malnourished children. (Bezerra et al. 2011)

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Politics, Military Science and the Art of Future War
This paper is for anyone who wants to understand Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, as it relates to respective armed forces. Indeed, AI will power several new weapon systems used on the military battlefield of the future. This paper uses Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and Karl von Clausewitz’s profound study On War as source works, to give an overview of the role of Artificial Intelligence; and how military technology might be used during future wars. In this respect, governments have an obligation to consider new and more deadly weapons for their national defense. Hence, this work shows how AI will be intricately entwined with arming our respective militaries with autonomous weapon systems. But will countries or governments follow AI technology blindly without considering the negative consequences of using such deadly AI weapons? Finally, this paper asks the question of whether AI manufactured weapons are even necessary. Indeed, using futuristic AI weapons of war might (wholeheartedly) transform our warring world. Only time will tell if human beings will deploy such unconventional measures/weapons — to resolve violent conflicts.

Deflation and the Decoupling of Economy and Financialization
Certo! Ecco un riassunto formale del documento “Deflation and the decoupling of economy and financialization”: The paper discusses the decoupling between the real economy and financialization, highlighting how the financial crisis of 2008-2009 has shown that the development of financialization is not irreversible. Despite the perception of zero risk and out-of-market real estate values, the crisis has revealed the weakness of the real economy. Deflation is identified as a new enemy, appearing when debt exceeds income, depressing the value of capital and creating problems for production and sale. Olivier Blanchard’s proposal on Eurobonds aims to strengthen the euro and improve the EU’s financial stability but presents political and fiscal challenges. Financial speculation, fueled by private debt, weakens the real economy and creates a decoupling between the financial market and the real economy. The financial crisis of 2008-2009 did not solve the problem but only mitigated the impact of private debt. The resistance of economic systems to speculative play depends on the decline of global economic development and the ability to absorb downward shocks in financial values. As regards the future prospects, it is essential that economic policies focus on reducing private debt and stabilizing financial markets in order to avoid further crises. In addition, the implementation of instruments such as Eurobonds could help strengthen the European economy, but it requires significant political and fiscal commitment. The main challenge will be to find a balance between economic growth and financial stability, ensuring that the real economy is not sacrificed in favor of financial speculation.

Jim Crow Laws in The United States and Apartheid in South Africa: A Political and Critical Analysis
This paper gives us a glimpse into the early features that defined two racist and inhumane political systems: Jim Crow laws in the United States and Apartheid in South Africa. A broader understanding of these worlds should change how we view critical issues of race, segregation, and discrimination. In addition, this work provides insight about the long struggles of black people against white supremacy and hegemony on two, very different continents. Meaning, we can learn about the maddening and heinous crimes against humanity rendered by white supremacists in the United States and South Africa. In other words, racism, segregation, and discrimination played a central role in the harsh, political systems of both countries. Equally important, white supremacists in the United States and South Africa brutalized the black communities in both places, while feeling superior to all other ethnic groups. Of course, white supremacists always tried to hide their violence and sanitize the ugly truths of their respective governments. They also exerted their will on others, primarily for their own benefit, which triggered acrimony in both minority populations. This paper also exposes the underlying facts about the deprave actions of white supremacists who went too far in both societies against mostly black people — in the United States and South Africa. Meaning, both countries were enmeshed in the realm of horrifying inequality and racism. In the final analysis, we should be able to see clearly the striking similarities between the American Jim Crow laws and Apartheid system in South Africa with their white supremacy traditions.

How Upset People Cause the Trigger of Conflicts
The article analyzes the role of agitated people unable to control their emotions as a trigger for conflicts in human history. According to the author, even though these people represent a minority, they have often had a disproportionate impact, dragging entire communities into war and violence. It is highlighted how the majority-minority dynamic is a constant in societies: the agitated minority often manages to influence the majority, leading to harmful collective decisions. The responsibility for conflicts also falls on communities that passively accept the choices of leaders or agitated groups. The author distinguishes between natural death, part of the cycle of life, and death in war, seen as a man-made anomaly. No one is born violent but becomes so due to social and psychological factors. Historical and news examples are cited (such as the Pamela Genini case and the influence of D’Annunzio in the First World War) to show how violence can emerge both individually and collectively. Society should learn to isolate and treat people with violent tendencies, preventing them from taking on roles of power or forming dangerous groups. The need for preventive interventions, with the involvement of law enforcement and mental health specialists, to monitor and manage potentially dangerous personalities is proposed. The article also reflects on the relationship between prevention, individual rights and collective responsibility, citing constitutional principles of equality and human dignity (Italy, USA, UK, Germany). Finally, it is emphasized that prevention and collective responsibility are fundamental to prevent agitated minorities from dragging society towards conflicts and wars, and a more careful and preventive approach is called for in the management of personalities at risk.
Visual Symbol Analysis and Digital Reconstruction of Lujin Patterns
Lujin, a representative traditional hand-weaving craft from southwestern Shandong, embodies profound regional culture and the wisdom of folk art. With the acceleration of industrialization and digitalization, this form of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) faces challenges of both preservation and innovation. Adopting perspectives from visual semiotics and digital design, this study focuses on typical Lujin patterns, analyzing their visual-symbolic characteristics and cultural connotations, and exploring pathways for their digital reconstruction. Based on the analytical framework of “symbolic interpretation–digital reconstruction,” the paper establishes a comprehensive system for interpreting Lujin’s visual symbols and proposes three reconstruction principles: preservation of cultural genes, alignment with contemporary aesthetics, and adaptation to digital media. Through vector-based modeling and motion-graphics experiments, the study verifies the feasibility of this approach. The results indicate that digital reconstruction not only contributes to the preservation and transmission of Lujin’s visual identity but also provides new directions for integrating traditional craftsmanship into contemporary design practices.

Research on the Cultural Communication Mechanism of Gansu Cross-border E-commerce from the Perspective of the Spirit of Rewi Alley
Guided by the spirit of Rewi Alley—embodying the core principles of “hands and mind together”, “international bridge”, “rootedness in the land”, and “truthful narrative”—this paper explores the cultural communication mechanism of Gansu’s cross-border e-commerce (CBEC). The study contends that Gansu’s distinctive local products, such as “Long medicine”, “Gan flavor”, and “Dunhuang cultural creative products”, provide a solid foundation for “narrating through objects”. By establishing a communication mechanism integrating “product empowerment, platform dialogue, localized narrative, and multi-agent co-narration”, Gansu’s CBEC can transform commodities into mediums for cultural narrative. To address internal challenges in logistics, branding, talent, and external risks like cultural discount, this paper proposes optimization paths centered on promoting the “craftsman spirit”, adhering to the “bridge spirit”, and upholding the “truth-seeking spirit”. These aim to facilitate the sector’s transition from “selling products” to “engaging in cross-cultural bidirectional communication”, offering insights for enhancing regional cross-cultural communication capacity.
