The Vandal habrosýne and its Significance in Procopius’ Narrative on the Rise and Fall of the Vandal State by Michał Stachura

“…If we should recognize that what we have here is a particular literary allusion, a re-application of a Herodotean pattern for the purpose of recounting a contemporary story, this passage takes on a new meaning: representing the former affluence and the present misery of the Vandals serves as a starting point to deliberations on human helplessness in the face of Fate, while referring to habrosýne, as a stereotypical characteristic attributed to the Lydians, is an additional clue to put us on a track leading to associations between the two narratives.…”

Designing an educational model based on identity development with an Iranian-Islamic approach for primary school students. by Ali Oladhamzehzadeh, masoumeh oladiyan, Mahmoud Safari

“…Islam has made the base of nature as the basis of its identity for humans; in the sense that man defines his identity in harmony with what is naturally entrusted to him; in Islam, according to the principle of nature, a human being is born in the beginning, while he actually has no understanding, no imagination, no recognition, and no human tendency; at the same time, he comes into the world with existential dimensions in addition to animal dimensions, which are the basis of second understanding. …”

Low susceptibility of invasive red lionfish (Pterois volitans) to a generalist ectoparasite in both its introduced and native ranges. by Paul C Sikkel, Lillian J Tuttle, Katherine Cure, Ann Marie Coile, Mark A Hixon

“…Lionfish in both ranges had very few gnathiids when compared with other species, suggesting that lionfish are not highly susceptible to infestation by generalist ectoparasitic gnathiids. While this pattern implies that release from gnathiid infestation is unlikely to contribute to the success of lionfish as invaders, it does suggest that in environments with high gnathiid densities, lionfish may have an advantage over species that are more susceptible to gnathiids. …”

APPLICATION OF DBSCAN FOR CLUSTERING SOCIETY BASED ON WASTE MANAGEMENT BEHAVIOR by Hafizh Syihabuddin Al Jauhar, Solimun Solimun, Rahma Fitriani

“…This research aims to answer the challenge of identifying the characteristics of the Batu City community in waste management, where traditional clustering techniques are often suboptimal due to the presence of noise or objects that do not fit the general pattern. As a solution, the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm is applied, which allows the clustering of objects based on local density and detects the presence of noise or outliers in the data. …”
