The Concept of People's Sovereignty Towards The Appointment of The Ideal Acting Regional Head
Authors: Hifdillah Achmad Aldy , Negara Tunggul Anshari Setia , Susmayanti Riana
Published: February 2025

This research aims to criticize the appointment of Acting Regional Heads as part of legal conflicts that are contrary to the constitution. The appointment of Acting Regional Heads who do not involve the people directly, causes a perception that people's sovereignty is sidelined for the sake of administrative efficiency. Article 18 paragraph (4) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia is above the Election Law and the regulations under it, so that the interpretation of this regulation is not harmonious can trigger a polemic. This study uses doctrinal/normative research with a statute approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. The results of this study describe the concept of the appointment of Acting Regional Heads as an irrational part and has the potential to weaken the sovereignty of the people as enshrined in the staatfundamental norm (1945 Constitution) or grundnorm (Pancasila), the content element in the provisions for the appointment of Acting Regional Heads is full of non-democratic conditions so that these provisions need to be reviewed by prioritizing the aspect of people's participation. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the representation, participation of the people, and democratic mechanisms to maintain the sustainability of an inclusive and equitable political system.
Constitutional Shoehorning
Authors: Stephenson Scott
Published: February 2025

Constitutional shoehorning refers to a litigant using a constitutional provision that addresses one type of concern to advance a different type of concern. A litigant that seeks to protect their rights by bringing a challenge under a federal division of powers provision is an example. This article makes three arguments in relation to the concept. First, it is an understudied and distinctive move in constitutional argumentation and adjudication, different from implications and strained interpretations. Although challenges can arise when trying to identify instances of constitutional shoehorning, they are surmountable in most cases. Second, it has both positive and negative attributes. Third, it is an important feature of Australian constitutional law due to the absence of a bill of rights.

Introductory Notes
The Living and the Dead Together: High Pastureland Spaces in the Bronze Age Cantabrian Mountains
Authors: Martínez Jesús Francisco Torres
Published: February 2025

Research carried out in the Archaeological Zone of
Monte Bernorio, in the centre of the southern side of the
Cantabrian Mountains, has increased our knowledge of
changes in the human habitation of that region from the
Late Chalcolithic and Bronze Age to the foundation of
the Iron Age oppidum. The hinterland of this site also
encompasses a series of areas with ritual structures associated
with high mountain pastureland. They help to
understand the habitation and use of those montane areas
throughout Late Prehistory. The scarcity of habitation
sites and the phenomenon of the invisibility of the
deceased in mortuary sites hinder the understanding
of the Bronze Age in this mountain region enormously.
Transformation of People and Things – Some Thoughts on the Formative Period Burial Pattern in Cochabamba, Bolivia
Authors: Gabelmann Olga U.
Published: February 2025

The Formative Period burial pattern in Bolivia (1500
BC–200 AD) has not been adequately investigated.
Whereas the South-eastern valleys show cemeteries
mainly with burials of individuals in extended posi-
tion, in the highlands (altiplano) settlement burials
with individuals in flexed position predominate. In the
Cochabamba Valleys we find a more variable pattern
including both types. This underlines the importance
of the geographical corridor formed by the Cocha-
bamba valleys as a preferred settlement area also for
external groups. Most interesting are burials that were
placed in possible storage pits, which indicate a spatial
relationship between the dead and the domestic area
in the settlement, thus conveying the religious percep-
tion of continuous interaction between groups of the
dead and the living.
Space Not Only for the Living: Human Remains Found in the Late Bronze Age Settlement of Vânători, Galați County (South-East Romania)
Authors: Ailincăi Sorin-Cristian , Constantinescu Mihai , Adamescu Adrian , Mandache Tudor
Published: February 2025

The archaeological research conducted at the site of
Vânători, Galați County (SE Romania), has led to the
identification of a settlement dated between the 11 th
and the 9 th century BC. Among the features studied,
we highlight pit 1152, in which a male individual had
been deposited in an unusual position. He surpassed
the average height of contemporary males from the
Balkan-Carpathian area and his muscle origins and
insertions were remarkably developed. At the same
time, the anthropological analysis of the bones indicates that he died of a strong blow to the skull. The
aetiology of this lesion in face-to-face combat and defensive wounds, as well as the pathological afflictions
visible on some of the bones, seem to suggest that the
individual could have been a warrior who died a warrior’s death.
Burials inside settlements were rather frequent in
the beginning of the 1 st millennium BC especially in
the Lower Danube, proving the existence of practices
of displaying human corpses whose anatomical pieces
had been manipulated. These “macabre discoveries”
consisted of complete or incomplete skeletons, some
arranged anatomically, others not, but also included
parts of skeletons, such as skulls or limbs. There are
also differences between the design of the spots chosen
for the deposition of the human remains (dwellings,
pits, ditches, etc.) as well as the number of individuals, the inventory, and the manner of deposition. By
analysing these contexts, several assumptions can be
made regarding the procedures of deposition of such
individuals inside the settlements. First, we note that
none of the incomplete skeletons (or the scattered osteological remains) revealed traces of disarticulation
with sharp tools or animal gnawing, leading to the
conclusion that their state was the result of lengthy
display (in special places) that caused the degradation of the soft parts and the drying and rigidity of
the ligaments. The absence of traces indicating the
intervention of animals suggests that the bodies had
been on display in protected spaces or on inaccessible
platforms, possibly even inside specially built houses.
These “macabre” finds from the settlements show that,
at least in the Lower Danube, these areas were not
only intended for the living; moreover, the everyday
activities of the living afforded them a permanent connection with the dead.
Human Bones from the Settlements of the Scythian Period in the Eastern European Forest-Steppe: Sacrifices or Funeral Rites?
Authors: Grechko Denys
Published: February 2025

The ways of dealing with the deceased among population
groups of the Eastern European Forest-Steppe
during the Scythian Period were various. The remains
of the deceased could be buried in the ground or under
burial mounds on the territory of settlements, and
either in household buildings or in special graves. Human
bones could be stored at the settlement territory
after exposure or primary burial.
Comparative study of case systems in Russian and Hindi: Typological and functional perspectives
Authors: Tiwari Saurabh
Published: February 2025

This study aims to determine the general objective of the typological and functional comparison of the Russian case system and the karaka system in Hindi. The article presents a comparative analysis of morphological, syntactic, and semantic phenomena, emphasizing aspects such as prototypical characteristics, synthetic and analytic strategies, and variance in grammatical means. Scientific novelty consists in the systematization of case systems of Russian and Hindi with specification of their differences and similarities. The findings show that the Russian system follows a synthetic strategy (inflection), whereas Hindi adopts an analytic strategy (postpositive elements). As a result of the study, we have determined the main differences in the functioning of the case systems of both languages, which revealed the features of their syntactic organization and semantic interpretation.
THEATER. ANTHROPOLOGICAL DIMENSION.
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Department of Theatre Studies and Acting Mastery, VALKO Roman
Published: February 2025

The article outlines the ontological conditionality and essence of theatrical performance. In the context of the development and philosophical understanding of art in general, it emphasizes the historically traceable prognostic and diagnostic functions of theater in particular. It highlights the eternal aspiration of the “body-consciousness” toward an all-encompassing comprehension of being and a cathartic penetration into the sacred - the Word
The interconnection between art and science in understanding our world is explored. Within this framework, the phenomenon of “altered consciousness” is examined as a unifying element of the actor-audience whole, considering its uniqueness in stage-audience interaction and the conditions for its achievement. The focus is placed on the anthropological reflections of prominent theatrical thinkers such as Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski, Peter Brook, and Eugenio Barba, and the resonance of their conclusions with the ideas of Plato, Aristotle, G.W.F. Hegel, Carl Jung, Friedrich Nietzsche, and others regarding theater as a form of “sacred action” designed to uncover and reveal the most essential truths where Body and Word merge in their entirety.
Special attention is given to the theatrical practices of Les Kurbas and his contribution to understanding the resonant and singular energy dynamics of the interaction between idea-being-author-director-actor-audience and the “correct integrity of thought and emotion” in artistic daily practice. The article emphasizes the conscious and subconscious striving for and achievement of this goal in the best acts of stage art of the past and present.
SINGING HYMNOGRAPHIC VOCABULARY IN THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE AND THE LITERATURE OF THE XVI–XVIII CENTURIES: FROM THE STANDPOINT OF PAST AND MODERN RESEARCH PERSPECTIVES.
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Department of Musicology and Choral Art, SYROTYNSKA Natalia
Published: February 2025

The article highlights the influence of medieval hymnography on the formation of the Ukrainian language and literature of the 16th–18th centuries, the place of Ukrainian notolineal irmologions in this process, as well as the prospects for the involvement of modern computer technologies in the research of medieval vocabulary and intonation motifs/chances. The influence of lexical units of liturgical poetics on the formation of the Ukrainian language can be traced on the example of Pamva Berinda’s “Lexicon of Slovenian Rus’sian” and the works of Hryhoriy Skovoroda. Sacred texts reflect the influence of ancient literature, which significantly influenced the formation of the Christian rite. The creators of liturgical poetics were good connoisseurs not only of theology, but also of Greek-Hellenic literature, as well as rhetorical skill. This experience became the basis for Byzantine hymnography, which was actively spread in translations after the baptism of Ukraine–Russia, and later on, the Ukrainian language, literature, and dictionaries were formed on this basis. The creation of linear notation at the end of the 16th century led to the arrangement of the selected liturgical repertoire in innovative irmologion collections. They were used as textbooks for teaching children to read and sing according to notes, which significantly influenced the development of a special paradigm of liturgical thinking. Thanks to the five-line fixation of the sung sacred repertoire, irmologions highlighted the close connection between melos and poetic text. This allows us to trace the functioning of both lexical and melodic units at the level of a complete form. And thanks to modern computer technologies and interdisciplinary research, we get the opportunity to study in more detail the structural features of the poetics and melodics of the Christian rite. In the future, this will help determine the level of penetration of medieval sacred vocabulary and intonation motifs into Ukrainian literature and music of subsequent historical periods. Methodology. In the process of research, source studies, historical, music-theoretical, cultural research methods were used. Scientific novelty. Thanks to the conducted research, the influence of hymnography on the Ukrainian vocabulary was traced, as well as the possibilities of computer technologies in the study of liturgical poetics and melos on the material of the Lyubachiv irmologion of 1674.
THE EAST OF CRIMEA IN THE CREATIVITY OF OLEKSANDR SPENDIAROV
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of L’viv, Depatment of musicology and choral art, MLADENOVA Tetiana
Published: February 2025

The events of the heyday of musical orientalism as a manifestation of the dialogue between the West and the East, related to the cultural landscape of the Crimean Peninsula (end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th century), are highlighted. The peculiarity of the musical culture of Crimea lies in its syncretism, the essence of which is the complementary dialogicity of many genetic elements generated by both the East and the West.
Taking into account the genetic aspect of the contact dialogue, the Crimean period of Oleksandr Spendiarov’s work is considered. It is known that O. Spendiarov’s formation as a composer took place on the basis of European musical art. Numerous memories also testify to his priorities as a composer of Armenian origin, namely his attraction to Eastern culture. While on the Crimean Peninsula, O. Spendiarov recorded and studied Crimean Tatar folk melodies, and found common features between Armenian and Crimean musical folklore. On the example of the first series of the symphonic cycle “Crimean Sketches” by O. Spendiarov, the citation of musical samples of Crimean Tatar folk art is illustrated, a comparative analysis is made between authenticity and the composer’s method of processing folklore material. It has been proven that the score of O. Spendiarov’s “Crimean Sketches” is the first in history and a very successful attempt to Europeanize Crimean Tatar musical folklore.

Differential diagnosis of acute vestibular syndrome
Authors: ROMANIUK N.V. , GRYB V.A.
Published: February 2025

Acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) occurs, most often, due to vestibular neuritis (VN), although it can be caused by a stroke in posterior circulation system or other damage to structures of posterior cranial fossa (PCF) (multiple sclerosis (MS), etc.). A standard neurological examination cannot accurately confirm or deny stroke, especially if the process is localized in brainstem or cerebellum, what is often inaccessible for neuroimaging during computed tomography. After all, dizziness can be the only symptom of damage to structures of inner ear (peripheral part of vestibular analyzer), as well as brain stem or cerebellum (central part) of vascular, autoimmune­inflammatory genesis, etc.
Objective — to improve differential diagnosis of AVS using a 3­step clinical bedside examination of oculomotor function — HINTS test.
Materials and methods. 120 patients with symptoms of AVS were examined. The subjective assessment of dizziness was assessed using «Dizziness handicap inventory» questionnaire, Ukrainian version. Patients underwent an otoneurological examination, in particular, evaluation of oculomotor function with assessment of smooth pursuit, test of saccades, assessment of gaze­evoked and spontaneous nystagmus using VideoFrenzel, HINTS test, Fukuda step test, otoscopy, audiometry, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Statistical data processing (quantitative and qualitative methods of statistical analysis, visual data analysis) was carried out using Statistica 10 and Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, USA).
Results and discussion. Based on results of HINTS test, 102 (85 %) patients were diagnosed with acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUVP)/VN. HINTS indicated damage to central nervous system in 13 (10.8 %) persons. BPPV was diagnosed in 4 (3.3 %) patients as a result of canalolithiasis of lateral semicircular canal (nystagmus was pseudospontaneous). One patient (0.8 %) was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease. Among 102 patients with AUVP according to HINTS test after performing brain MRI 8 (7.8 %) people were diagnosed with CNS pathology: in 3 (2.9 %) patients — ischemic stroke in brain stem, in 2 (2 %) of them — ischemic stroke in cerebellum and in 3 (2.9 %) of patients — MS. Among 13 patients with signs of central AVS according to HINTS, in 3 (23.1 %) persons h­HIT was normal, which indicated central cause, however, according to brain MRI, no CNS pathology was confirmed.
Conclusions. After differential diagnosis of AVS using otoneurological examination, CNS lesions were confirmed in only 15 % of cases, in comparison to initial suspicion of a stroke in 77.5 % of cases assessed by a standard neurological examination. Suspicion of AUVP/VN was confirmed in only 6.3% of patients. As a result of the obtained data, we recommend the introduction of HINTS test into the national standards of differential diagnosis of AVS. HINTS test showed a high sensitivity for CNS damage — 92.2 %. However, the search for additional specific markers of central AVS in cases of pseudoneuritis according to the HINTS test remains relevant.
Multiple sclerosis — a disease of the central and peripheral nervous system? (literature review)
Authors: ZABARA O.V. , MELNYK V.S.
Published: February 2025

Multiple sclerosis is considered a chronic autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. However, the issue of peripheral nervous system involvement in multiple sclerosis is still relevant. Some studies suggest that demyelination of peripheral nerves is present in multiple sclerosis. In addition, the described data suggest that the process of peripheral nerve demyelination in this disease is more widespread than suspected. It is hypothesized that peripheral neuropathy in such patients results from the same pathogenesis affecting the central nervous system. Some studies have reported that patients had antibodies to peripheral myelin antigens. Changes in the structure of peripheral nerves were confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and neurography. At the same time, pathologic studies were performed that revealed decreased myelin thickness. Some neurophysiological abnormalities in the examination of peripheral nerves in patients with multiple sclerosis using nerve conduction studies are also described. It is important to diagnose peripheral neuropathy in time, as it can complicate the clinical picture and multiple sclerosis types. However, the data on the frequency and extent of peripheral nervous system damage in multiple sclerosis remain controversial and not fully understood, although current studies demonstrate a possible link between peripheral neuropathy and multiple sclerosis. To better understand this pathogenesis, additional research on peripheral nerve damage in multiple sclerosis is needed, which will deepen knowledge of the pathophysiology of this disease and improve approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Main Trends and Directions of External Migration
Authors: Yunusovich Salimov Sherzod
Published: February 2025

This study takes into account these macroeconomic conditions, but focus is shifted to the reasons for the change in migration processes in terms of poorly understood sociocultural factors that affect foreign labor migration and reintegration of labor migrants in Uzbekistan. The article is based on reports from specialized studies of foreign labor migration and employment conducted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations of Uzbekistan, publications of studies by international organizations, and data from indepth interviews with migrants and their families. The research revealed that under the influence of macroeconomic conditions, the change in the sociocultural context in 2006–2019 contributed to expansion of the geography of migration flows from Uzbekistan, the emergence of such phenomena as the “feminization” of migration and its “rejuvenation” against the background of certain elements of egalitarianism in an initially patriarchal society.
Detecting study regularity in trace data: A comparison of different operationalisations
Authors: Nobbe Lea , Breitwieser Jasmin , Brod Garvin
Published: February 2025

Background: Spreading study sessions over time is considered beneficial for lasting learning. Trace data from digital learning platforms offer new ways of assessing study regularity over time and in naturalistic contexts. In addition, the fine-grained resolution of trace data allows for very different operationalisations of study regularity. As of now, however, it is unclear how study regularity should best be operationalised with trace data.Objectives: We developed and compared different operationalisations of study regularity in a naturalistic online learning setting, using objective trace data.Methods: 331 medical students preparing for a high-stakes exam on a digital learning platform provided fine-grained longitudinal data which allowed us to compare four different operationalisations of study regularity: 1) distributing studying over more vs less days, 2) the growth in questions answered before the exam (via growth curve modelling), 3) the shape of study trajectories (via time-series clustering), and 4) the predictability and repetitiveness in study trajectories (via time-series entropy). The resulting scores were used to predict students’ exam performance, controlling for the total amount studied.Results and Conclusion: All four approaches could capture differences in study regularity but only distributing study activities over more days positively predicted exam scores over and above the total amount of studying done by students. To boost learning outcomes, students should be supported to learn every day, if even for a little while.
A multilab investigation into the N2pc as an indicator of attentional selectivity: Direct replication of Eimer (1996).

The N2pc is widely employed as an electrophysiological marker of an attention allocation. This interpretation was largely driven by the observation of an N2pc elicited by an isolated relevant target object, which was reported as Experiment 2 in Eimer (1996). All subsequent refined interpretations of the N2pc had to take this crucial finding into account. Despite its central role for neurocognitive attention research, there have been no direct replications and only few conceptual replications of this seminal work. Within the context of #EEGManyLabs, an international community-driven effort to replicate the most influential EEG studies ever published, the present study was selected due to its strong impact on the study of selective attention. We revisit the idea of the N2pc being an indicator of attentional selectivity by delivering a high powered direct replication of Eimer's work through analysis of 779 datasets acquired from 22 labs across 14 countries. Our results robustly replicate the N2pc to form stimuli, but a direct replication of the more influential N2pc to color stimuli technically failed. We believe that this pattern not only sheds further light on the functional significance of the N2pc as an electrophysiological marker of attentional selectivity, but also highlights a methodological problem with selecting analysis windows a priori. By contrast, the consistency of observed ERP patterns across labs and analysis pipelines is stunning and this consistency is preserved even in datasets that were rejected for (ocular) artifacts, attesting the robustness of the ERP technique and the feasibility of large-scale EEG replication studies.
The Efficiency of Ambiguity: Abstract References Emerge in Coarse Contexts
Authors: Kobrock Kristina , Briotto Anna , Bruni Elia
Published: February 2025

We investigate how context granularity, i.e. whether fine or coarse distinctions need to be made, influences an emerging lexicon. We conduct an agent-based simulation of a concept-level reference game, in which agents learn to communicate about concepts that are operationalized by combining multiple objects. We create three experimental conditions by manipulating the context in which the instances of the target concept appear: In the fine context condition, agents must make precise distinctions between similar targets and distractors. In the coarse context condition, targets are easy to discriminate because they share no overlapping features with the distractors. In the mixed baseline condition, both fine and coarse distinctions are necessary.Our results suggest that agents adapt their communication strategies to the granularity of the context in which they learned the concepts. In the fine context and baseline conditions, agents develop a communication protocol heavily based on one-to-one mappings between messages and concepts. Conversely, in the coarse context condition agents communicate more efficiently by vastly relying on abstract references that may refer to more than a single concept but are unambiguous in context. These results show that ambiguity emerges in coarse contexts and that ambiguous abstract terms are used for more efficient communication.
Direct Mapping of Interventions to Thought Features: A Bayesian Proof-of-Concept Study
Authors: Hallion Lauren S. , Zainal Nur Hani , Webb Christian A.
Published: February 2025

Although uncontrollability is the core feature of perseverative thought that best accounts for its relationship to psychopathology, other features – for example, valence and content – have also been identified as potentially clinically-relevant in their own right. We describe results from a proof-of-concept study that examined the extent to which major underlying features of worry could be used to predict which of three common cognitive regulatory strategies (mindful acceptance; focused attention meditation; and thought suppression) would be helpful for regulating that worry. N = 40 adults selected for high trait worry (80% also met criteria for one or more DSM-5 anxiety-related diagnoses) generated and provided feature ratings for three idiographic thought topics. Participants then attempted to control each worry using each of the three strategies during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in a within-subjects design (k = 468 observations). We used Bayesian multilevel modeling to test preregistered hypotheses regarding the extent to which each of five empirically-derived underlying dimensions of a worry (uncontrollability; negative valence; self-focus; apprehension; and social-memory content) could be used to predict which strategy would be most efficacious for regulating that worry. We did not find support for our preregistered hypotheses; however, in exploratory analyses, we found that mindfulness-based strategies were particularly effective compared to thought suppression for thoughts rated as higher (versus lower) in uncontrollability. Future research should test these principles in larger samples, using more diverse expressions of perseverative thought.

People with autism or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) take longer to recognise emotions associated with certain facial expressions. While this effect has been sufficiently documented, its specificity received less attention. Since both conditions lead to increased reaction times on a wide variety of tasks, it is unclear whether differences in responses are specific to emotion recognition or due to attenuations of more basic sensory or motor processes. Therefore, we pair the use of a sensitive morphing task assessing emotion discrimination threshold (EDT), i.e., how much information is needed to correctly recognise an emotion, with a control task measuring species discrimination threshold (SDT). We hypothesise specific increases of EDT in adults with ADHD or autism, and differences in gaze patterns, specifically in dwell times and number of saccades. We assess our hypotheses in autistic adults with (n = 23) and without co-occurring ADHD (n = 23), adults with ADHD (n = 24) and a comparison group of typically-developing adults (n = 24). Our data supports differences in facial emotion recognition between adults with ADHD or autism and the comparison group. Furthermore, an explorative sample of adults with co-occurrence of ADHD and autism performed comparable to adults with either autism or ADHD, suggesting that a co-occurrence is not associated with additive or interactive effects. Importantly, EDT was equivalent in adults with ADHD as well as autistic adults with or without co-occurring ADHD when including SDT in the model. Moreover, there were no differences between groups in terms of gaze patterns. Similar emotion discrimination thresholds in autistic adults with and without co-occurring ADHD suggest shared mechanisms in autism and ADHD influencing facial emotion recognition. Similar gaze patterns indicate that differences in facial emotion recognition are not due to differences in attention to facial landmarks or information gathering strategies.

Nel contesto della promozione di un modello di consumo e produzione responsabili, il principale obiettivo delle presenti linee guida è quello di fornire indicazioni generali e spunti di riflessione per la progettazione e comunicazione di prodotti sostenibili, che possano potenzialmente essere utili nel guidare le strategie di sostenibilità di un’impresa. Sulla base di conoscenze e risultati che derivano da ricerche e sperimentazioni svolte nell’ambito di un progetto triennale finanziato dal Programma Operativo Nazionale (PON), è stato possibile sviluppare alcune raccomandazioni e proposte su: a) come aumentare la consapevolezza delle persone verso le problematiche ambientali e sensibilizzarle verso uno stile di vita responsabile, b) alcune modalità per attirare l’attenzione del consumatore affinché una effettiva azione sostenibile si verifichi, e c) come educare alla sostenibilità e mettere in moto un processo di comprensione profonda delle questioni ambientali. Seguendo queste linee guida, sarebbe auspicabile che i prodotti sostenibili non siano soltanto realizzati con processi che rispettino l'ambiente, ma anche concepiti e promossi in accordo con le percezioni e i bisogni dei potenziali clienti.

In the evolving landscape of scientific research, ORCID identifiers are essential for maintaining academic integrity and enhancing research visibility. This study proposes a methodological framework for identifying and analyzing the presence and characteristics of researchers in a specific country in ORCID, using complementary data from OpenAlex to improve results. Our objectives were to develop a reliable method to identify ORCID records of researchers in Spain, study the frequency of profile updates, and investigate the most frequently filled metadata sections and common profile characteristics across disciplines. We identified 190,455 ORCID records of Spanish researchers and found high engagement with some metadata, particularly in the 'Employment' (73%) and 'Publications' (83%) sections. Additionally, 73% of records were actively maintained. The most common metadata combination included 'Works', 'Employment', and 'Education and Qualifications'. However, we noted significant variability and incomplete records across disciplines. The study highlights the need for more complete and frequently updated profiles, improved institutional integration, and strategic efforts to enhance ORCID adoption. These improvements could enhance the reliability of ORCID for tracking researcher mobility and academic trajectories.
Credit risk Management and Profitability: Empirical Evidence from Commercial banks in Nepal
Authors: Dhodary Shanker , Pandeya Churamani
Published: February 2025

The study focuses on credit risk management and the profitability of Nepalese commercial banks, using a sample of five banks Nepal SBI, Nabil, Sanima, NIC Asia, and Agricultural Development Bank Limited selected from 20 commercial banks. The primary aim is to analyze the impact and relationship between credit risk management and the profitability of these banks. The sample selection was based on judgment, covering 50 observations over ten years of annual financial data. A descriptive and causal-comparative research design was adopted. Statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation were utilized, alongside inferential statistics like correlation, regression analysis, and hypothesis testing, to evaluate variables. Credit risk indicators, including the capital adequacy ratio, supplementary capital ratio, core capital ratio, non-performing loan ratio, credit deposit ratio, and cash reserve ratio, were analyzed as independent variables. Profitability measures, such as return on equity and return on assets, served as dependent variables. The study concluded that return on equity is positively related to the capital adequacy ratio and non-performing loan ratio, indicating a direct relationship. However, it is negatively associated with the supplementary capital ratio, core capital ratio, credit deposit ratio, and cash reserve ratio. Similarly, return on assets showed a positive correlation with the capital adequacy ratio, core capital ratio, non-performing loan ratio, credit deposit ratio, and cash reserve ratio, but a negative correlation with the supplementary capital ratio.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ АДАПТАЦІЇ ТУРИСТІВ ДО ГІРСЬКИХ УМОВ КАРПАТ

Published: February 2025

Одним із ключових аспектів сучасної підготовки та організації туристичних походів є забезпечення життєдіяльності учасників. Тривале перебування у природному середовищі суттєво впливає на функціонування організму як єдиної системи, зокрема на підтримання фізіологічних, біохімічних та психологічних процесів у відповідь на несприятливі фактори. До таких факторів належать: умови зовнішнього середовища, фізичні й фізіологічні складнощі маршруту, киснева недостатність (гіпоксія) у гірській місцевості, технічна складність маршрутів, а також психоемоційна напруга, пов’язана з походом.
В останні роки інтерес до туристських подорожей в Україні значно зріс. Фізико-географічне розташування та природні ресурси країни сприяють задоволенню різноманітних запитів туристів щодо активного відпочинку та спортивного туризму, зокрема пішохідного, водного, велосипедного та лижного. Такі подорожі можуть мати оздоровчу, спортивну, пізнавальну, краєзнавчу чи дослідницьку спрямованість.
Гірські регіони часто стають місцем для проведення різних видів подорожей та походів, використовуючи висоти низькогір’я (800-1500 м), середньогір’я (1500-2500 м) і високогір’я (понад 2500 м). Незважаючи на велику кількість наукових праць, присвячених адаптації організму до високогір’я та середньогір’я, спеціалізована література, що стосується акліматизації до умов низькогір’я, залишається обмеженою й здебільшого орієнтована на спортсменів високого рівня.
Адаптація туристів до гірських умов Карпат потребує спеціальних досліджень, що враховують особливості клімато-географічного середовища регіону, фізіологічні реакції організму та специфіку фізичних навантажень у подорожах.
У статті представлені результати збору, аналізу та систематизації даних про кліматичні та географічні особливості Карпат, а також дослідження адаптації серцево-судинної та дихальної систем туристів різного віку до умов гірської місцевості.
