Published: October 2023

Introduction. Aphasia and dysarthria are permanent consequences of stroke in
many patients. These disorders significantly disrupt the person?s
functioning in everyday life. The aim of this paper is to examine the
quality of communication and quality of life in patients with aphasia and
dysarthria. Material and Methods. The clinical group included 25 patients
with aphasia and 20 patients with dysarthria due to stroke. The control
group included 15 post-stroke people without speech and language disorders
and 15 neurologically healthy subjects. The Quality of Communication Life
Scale was used to assess the quality of communication. This scale provides
information about the impact of speech and language disorders on
individuals? ability to communicate and quality of life in general. The
scale consists of 18 items scored from 1 to 5. Results. Patients with
aphasia and dysarthria have a significantly lower quality of communication
compared to stroke survivors with preserved speech and language functions
and neurologically healthy subjects. The severity of the language and speech
disorder proved to be a significant factor in determining the quality of
communication. Namely, patients with more severe forms of aphasia and
dysarthria scored significantly lower on the Quality of Communication Life
Scale compared to the patients with milder forms. It was also shown that
patients with flaccid dysarthria have the worst quality of communication
compared to the patients with other types of dysarthria. Conclusion. Aphasia
and dysarthria following a stroke significantly impair the quality of
communication and quality of life of the affected persons.

Diabetes management in children extends from the home to other settings where children spend a significant portion of their waking hours. For young children (generally, aged <5 years) with diabetes, this includes childcare centers. Given their age and developmental stage, young children require a carefully thought-out, proactive diabetes care plan for the childcare setting, developed jointly by the health care provider and parents/guardians, and implemented by childcare staff. In the U.S., federal laws and some state laws protect the rights of children with diabetes in childcare and other settings to ensure they receive appropriate assistance with the diabetes management and care. This American Diabetes Association (ADA) Statement addresses the legal rights of children in the childcare setting, outlines the current best practices for diabetes care, and provides resources and responsibilities for parents/guardians, childcare providers, and health care providers. The ADA intends for these tools and information to support the health and well-being of young children with diabetes and offer helpful guidance to those caring for them.

Authors: Gosmann Janika , Stadler Rudolf , Quint Koen D. , Gutzmer Ralf , Vermeer Maarten H.
Published: October 2023

Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome are rare and largely incurable types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with limited therapeutic options. In 1984 Bunn et al. reported that interferon alpha is an efficient monotherapy in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and 14 years later it was shown in a prospective, randomized trial that a combination of interferon alpha and psoralen plus ultraviolet A therapy (PUVA) is most efficient in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Since then interferon alpha as single agent or, most often, in combination with phototherapy and/or retinoids has been integrated as standard of care in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma guidelines worldwide. However, production of interferon alpha was discontinued recently worldwide and pegylated interferon alpha-2a (PEG-IFNα) has been used as an alternative therapy. In contrast to numerous interferon alpha studies, only a few studies focusing on PEG-IFNα are available. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct a retrospective data collection to report on the efficacy, adverse events and therapy regimens of PEG-IFNα in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In 28 patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma treated in Germany and in the Netherlands, 36% of patients achieved complete remission, 36% partial remission and 29% stable disease. Eighteen percent of patients developed adverse events during therapy, which led to the discontinuation of PEG-IFNα therapy in 2 patients. The most common concomittant therapies were oral PUVA phototherapy and local radiotherapy. In conclusion, PEG-IFNα, especially in combination with skin-directed therapies, is an effective treatment option for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in clinical practice.
Dilemma of Competitive Equality: Transgender vs Cisgender Athletes in Women's International Sports Competition
Authors: Raden Maulana Damarjati
Published: October 2023

This research aims to solve the human rights issue of the participation of transgender female athletes in international sports competitions in the women's division. The existence of transgender female athletes yields two perspectives: inclusivity as a human right for transgender female athletes and unfair competition for cisgender female athletes. This issue occurs due to the physiological advantages possessed by a transgender female athlete from the high level of testosterone they have, which creates unfairness in sports competition for cisgender female athletes, and the policies of international sports organizations that exclude the participation of transgender female athletes who have experienced puberty to take part in international sports competitions. Several controversial cases have sparked debate in the international community, such as the Tiffany Newel case in the running competition and the Lia Thomas case in the swimming competition; both are female transgender athletes who won sports competitions in the women's division. Although a transgender individual already has inherent human rights regulated through international law, these rights could not be a basis that overrides the rights and freedoms of other people. In this case, the right to equal and safe competition for cisgender women. The solution to this problem is to develop an 'open category' which aims to ensure the participation of all world athletes in sports competitions regardless of gender or gender identity.

Published: October 2023

Kapok fibres, known for their hydrophobic (water-repellent) and oleophilic (oil-attracting) properties, could be used as a filtration medium. In the context of oily water filtration, kapok fibres might naturally attract and capture oil droplets from the water while allowing water to pass through. However, the effectiveness of the filtering process depends on the filter orientation, which affects the fluid flow, either turbulent or laminar. Thus, the study investigated the effect of filter orientation housing during installation on the fluid flow around the kapok filter. The study used Computational fluid dynamic analysis, CFD, for two different kapok filter orientations, parallel and perpendicular to the water flow. It found that the kapok filter oriented perpendicular generates turbulence on the surrounding flow and hydraulic jump as compared to parallel orientation. A higher risk of clogging could happen due to debris accumulation and reduced filtering process.

Published: October 2023

This research aimed to predict the residual stress of additively manufactured rectangular specimen using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) by means of non-linear numerical computation based on Thermo-mechanical method (TMM). The procedure starts with the geometrical and material modelling of rectangular specimen with regards to Austenitic Stainless Steel 316L (SS316L) in which the temperature dependent material data properties such as Young’s Modulus, Thermal Expansion Coefficient, Specific Heat Capacity and Thermal Conductivity are taken into account. The next phase consists of numerical computation procedure which is where the specimen is position 60° of inclination angle from the substrate plate. The support structure is to be generated within the lower surface of the specimen in order to avoid material to collapse during printing process. Laser heat source is to be modelled based on the laser beam width, power, efficiency and scanning speed in order for the numerical computation to accurately predict the thermal problem in SLM process. Furthermore, layer parameters used to fabricate the specimen such as hatch distance, hatch scan width and layer thickness are taken into TMM consideration. Similar set-up from numerical computation by means of laser and layer parameters to fabricate SS316L rectangular specimen is utilized in real fabrication process using SLM machine, Renishaw RenAM 500E. After fabrication of the specimen, electropolishing as for the sample preparation for X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) measurement are to be conducted by means of various depth on both sides of the specimen. For the validation procedure, residual stress on every depth is to be analysed and compared with the result from numerical computation. In conclusion, TMM simulation forecasting an acceptable residual stress on SLM product with relative error up to 14% and the computational time taken to predict the residual stress is only 56 minutes. This exploratory research using TMM simulation to predict residual stress on SLM product could benefit metal additive manufacturing (MAM) production as a whole by neglecting expensive trial and error approach.
A carta roubada de Jacques Maritain – o intransigentismo entre o fascismo e o maritainismo no Nordeste em 1937
Authors: PEIXOTO Renato Amado
Published: October 2023

A réplica de Jacques Maritain aos ataques que lhe foram desferidos no Brasil após a sua viagem à Argentina se fez na forma de uma carta, que foi distribuída à imprensa brasileira pelo frei Sebastião Tauzin. Esse religioso cuidou também de fazer a defesa do filósofo católico por meio de palestras e escritos; todavia, uma investigação a respeito da atuação de Tauzin revela, para além dos cuidados com a imagem de Maritain, toda uma trama até agora ainda não pesquisada que envolve acontecimentos, intelectuais, religiosos e a formação de redes regionais, nacionais e internacionais. Os ataques a Maritain foram sustentados por um grupo de religiosos e intelectuais abrigados no Centro Dom Vital de Pernambuco e coadjuvados pela revista Fronteiras, o principal periódico da direita católica brasileira. O exame dessa revista e dos diários A Ordem, de Natal; Diário de Pernambuco e O Jornal, do Rio de Janeiro, permite o reconhecimento, de forma inédita, dos estímulos recebidos pelos intelectuais da Fronteiras e da tração exercida sobre eles pelo Centro Dom Vital de Pernambuco, além do registro das transformações do intransigentismo em Pernambuco e Natal, seja no flerte com o fascismo, seja na adesão precoce ao maritainismo.

Published: October 2023

In 2021, pak choi production in Indonesia was 727.47 Mg, marking an increase of 8.2% compared to the 2020 production, which was 667.47 Mg. Therefore, there is a clear need for cultivation improvement, particularly through the implementation of organic fertilisers. This study aimed to investigate the impact of liquid organic fertiliser (LOF) derived from fish waste and duck manure on the growth and yield of the pak choi plant ( Brassica rapa. L. var. Nauli F1). A randomised block design factorial was used with two factors and three replications. The first factor considered was LOF from fish waste, comprising three levels (LOF 0 = control, LOF 1 = 25 cm 3∙dm –3 of water, and LOF2 = 50 cm 3∙dm –3 of water). The second factor focused on duck manure fertiliser (DMF) and involved four levels (DMF 0 = control, DMF 1 = 3.7 kg∙plot –1, DMF 2 = 5.55 kg∙plot –1, and DMF 3 = 7.4 kg∙plot –1). The results showed that the application of LOF from fish waste positively influenced the growth and yield of pak choi, with the most effective treatment observed in LOF1 (25 cm 3∙dm –3 of water). However, the application of DMF did not yield a significant difference in its effect on the growth and yield of the pak choi plant. The control treatment (DMF 0) reported comparable results and the combination of LOF from fish waste and DMF did not show a significant effect, with the most favourable findings observed in the LOF 2DMF 0 treatment (50 cm 3∙dm –3 and control).
“Hungarian Supremacy Cannot Be Debated”. Hungarian Conservative Sociologists on the Nationalities Question (1908–1918)
Authors: Harsányi Péter
Published: October 2023

Magyar Társadalomtudományi Szemle (MTSZ), i.e. Hungarian Review of Social Sciences, was published between 1908 and 1918, and it was the highest-toned journal of contemporary Hungarian conservative sociology. At that time, in the last years of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, one of the most pressing social issues was the nationalities question: what rights belong to non-Hungarian-speaking nationalities living in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary? This question was answered by two schools of tender-aged Hungarian social science. In general, liberal-left sociologists following Western scientific patterns believed that the language and cultural rights of national minorities need to be expanded. Conservatives, on the other hand, called for a restrictive policy to maintain the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Hungary. The analysis of the authors and writings in favour of the extension of rights has been completed (Litván 1978, 2006; Litván–Szücs 1973). Conservative sociologists who support the restriction, however, have so far received almost no attention in the history of sociology. In this writing, I would like to fill this gap. After the short institutional presentation of contemporary conservative sociology, I will focus on their central journal, MTSZ. I will analyse the articles in which the authors have taken a position on the nationalities question. I argue that the articles published in the MTSZ have primarily addressed the nationalities question as a political and demographic issue. Therefore, I will describe these two types of writing. (Beyond that, some articles focused on social theory, culture, or education when writing about the rights of non-Hungarian-speaking minorities.) My basic question is how those aspects of the nationalities question appeared in MTSZ and how those all create a specific political store of knowledge. If we get answers to this, not only will we shed light on one of the forgotten but exciting schools of early Central European social science, but perhaps the history of the first quarter of the 20th century will also be better understood.
The Peculiarity of Sociographic Knowledge in Hungary
Authors: Ale Éva
Published: October 2023

Hungarian sociography describes society and social problems in an easily understandable way. Sociographic writings do not neglect the political purpose, which creates a specific knowledge about the society within a limited public. Despite the heterogeneity of the genre, the central element of sociographic work is the critique of the dysfunctionality of the existing social system, urging social change. Sociography has not had the conditions to become a science. It remained an area on the border of politics – science – literature. All three at once; however, neither of them. The problem of the institutionalization of sociography means that its importance can be determined through the examination of its task.

Burawoy’s theory on public sociology argues that the knowledge of society expressed in scientific language needs to be adapted to the common language. Based on the characteristics of Hungarian sociography, the main goal is to adapt Burawoy’s approach on public sociology to sociography. This article presents the peculiarities of Hungarian sociographic knowledge production and transmission during the 20thcentury and attempts to place sociography in Burawoy’s system.

Climate change scenarios predict more frequent and intense drought periods for 2071–2100 in the most important and intensively used agricultural region of Austria, the Marchfeld. Current and predicted lower precipitation scenarios were simulated at a lysimeter station for 9 years. Plant biomass, nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) content, and δ13C and δ15N values of plant compartments were monitored in years 7–9. Aboveground biomass of cereals and grain yield decreased under the predicted scenario, while the quality of grain (% N) was unaffected. Weed and catch crops grown in winter were not affected or were even positively affected, possibly due to the accumulation of nutrients in the soil following the lower plant uptake in summer. Accordingly, low plant δ15N values were mainly attributed to the presence of higher proportion of mineral fertilizer in the predicted precipitation scenario. As expected, water stress significantly increased δ13C values in plants grown over summer, while this was not seen for plants growing over winter. Fertile agricultural soil might ameliorate but cannot outbalance the negative impact of more frequent and intense drought periods.
Connatural Knowledge of the Natural Law
Authors: Nevitt Turner C.
Published: October 2023

This paper traces the basic contours of Aquinas’s account of connatural knowledge in order to see what role (if any) connaturality might play in our knowledge of the precepts of the natural law. It engages a dispute between Maritain and Doolan on this topic. After considering what Aquinas means by “connaturality” in general the paper examines the main elements of his view of knowledge by connaturality in particular. I argue that the true doctrine of Aquinas probably lies between Maritain and Doolan’s opposed interpretations. Although it is not the only way of doing so, connaturality or inclination would still seem to be one possible way of knowing the natural law, while the use of reason is another.

Published: October 2023

With the widespread of systems incorporating multiple deep learning models, ensuring interoperability between target models has become essential. However, due to the unreliable performance of existing model conversion solutions, it is still challenging to ensure interoperability between the models developed on different deep learning frameworks. In this paper, we propose a systematic method for verifying interoperability between pre- and post-conversion deep learning models based on the validation and verification approach. Our proposed method ensures interoperability by conducting a series of systematic verifications from multiple perspectives. The case study confirmed that our method successfully discovered the interoperability issues that have been reported in deep learning model conversions.

Analisis Yuridis Putusan Hakim Dalam Perkara Tindak Pidana Phising Yang Dilakukan Melalui Media Sosial
Authors: Putri Indah Eka , Ismansyah
Published: October 2023

Nowadays, social media users are faced with the rise of cyber-phishing, which is carried out using various modes of deception that are troubling. This cybercrime mode causes material and immaterial losses. This crime has been regulated in the Electronic Information and Transaction Law Number 11 of 2008, Article 35 jo. Article 51 paragraph (1) carries a maximum threat of 12 years in prison. One of the cases that has been decided and permanent legal force is Decision Number: 155/Pid.Sus/2018/PN-Cbn. This research will answer the problem of how to analyse the judge's considerations in adjudicating cases of phishing on social media in Decision Number 155/Pid.Sus/2018/PN-Cbn and how to apply criminal sanctions based on the a quo decision. This study uses case approach and statutory approach with juridical-normative research method. Based on the research, juridically, the judge in making a decision only focuses on the demands of the prosecutor and does not consider concurrent criminal acts committed by the defendant, for which the judge can provide a weighting punishment based on Article 65 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code. Because the statement of the accused is also an important juridical aspect to be considered by the judge in imposing a verdict. This is what makes the punishment given low—only eight months in prison. Then, the application of relatively mild criminal sanctions has not been able to fulfil the goals of punishment and a sense of justice, so it will have an impact on the ineffectiveness of punishment.

Published: October 2023

Objective: To demonstrate the correlations of the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia and the levels of Non-alcoholic Fat Liver Disease (NAFLD) assessed by liver biopsy in a physically active population. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Individuals aged >18 years, with NAFLD confirmed by liver biopsy, physically active. Sarcopenia assessment followed EWGSOP2: muscle strength by handgrip, Skeletal Muscle Mass by Bioimpedance, and physical performance by usual gait speed. Statistical Analysis: To test differences between groups in continuous variables, Student's T or Mann-Whitney U Test for independent samples. Pearson and Spearman tests were used for correlations. A 5% significance was considered (p<0.05). Results: 52 patients with NAFLD included, consisting of 35 women and 15 men. There was no difference in age or anthropometric variables.  Were found difference statically significant in platelets (higher in women), basal insulin, HOMA-IR and Quick (higher in men). In sarcopenia, the handgrip strength showed difference in favors of men. There was no statistically significant correlation between the sarcopenia and NAFLD levels. Discussion: sarcopenia has been reported as an independent risk factor for NAFLD and its progressions. The physical exercise is one of the most recommended and more effective treatment for both conditions, so is expected that a non-sedentary individual can reduce both indicators. However, there is no consensus about the best method. Also, the both conditions share heterogeneity in diagnosis, prognosis, reason for develop and risk factors across the literature. Conclusion: For populations where most individuals are physically active, it is not possible to find correlation between sarcopenia diagnostic criteria and the stages of NAFLD.

Abstract
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a psychological test that distinguishes a person's personality. The MBTI is one of the most popular personality types in the world, including South Korea. The MBTI trend in South Korea is also used by K-Pop artists to share their MBTI types so they could be closer to their fans. One of the social media commonly used by K-Pop artists is Instagram. This study tries to develop a personality type classification model based on Instagram captions of K-Pop artists using Word2Vec and Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM). There are 118,401 caption data that have been cleaned through a series of pre-processing steps from 458 artists. The distribution of personality types shows that the target is not balanced, so it is necessary to handle imbalanced data, namely shifting the threshold after modeling. Evaluation of the combination model yields a macro f1 value of 0.65 in the artist data, with the details of the Extroversion-Introversion, Sensing-Intuition, Thinking-Feeling models having the same macro f1 value of 0.88, while the Judging-Perceiving model has a slightly better macro f1 value of 0.90. The model is deployed in the Streamlit web application so that K-Pop fans can use it to predict the MBTI type by inputting Instagram captions. The web application is evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire and gets a score of 84.55 so it is considered acceptable.
ENHANCING PRAGMATIC KNOWLEDGE WITH CHATGPT: BENEFITS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Authors: Puri Anindita Dewangga , Baskara FX. Risang
Published: October 2023

Pragmatic knowledge, or the ability to use language appropriately in social situations, is a crucial aspect of effective communication. ChatGPT, a chatbot based on the GPT-3 language model, has the potential to serve as a tool for improving pragmatic knowledge. ChatGPT is trained on a large dataset of human conversation and can generate responses that are coherent, diverse, and context-specific. By providing opportunities for users to practice their language use in a variety of contexts and real-time feedback, ChatGPT can help language learners to develop their pragmatic skills. However, the use of ChatGPT also raises several challenges and ethical considerations. Understanding the benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT for pragmatic language learning will be crucial in determining its potential as a tool for language learning. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT for pragmatic language learning. To understand the potential of ChatGPT for pragmatic language learning, the researchers review the main features and capabilities of ChatGPT. This includes its ability to generate a response in different styles and registers and how it can be used for pragmatic language acquisition. The challenges and limitations of ChatGPT are also examined, including its imperfect simulation of human conversation, reliance on large amounts of data, and potential to reinforce stereotypes or biases. The researchers discuss the potential benefits of ChatGPT, including its ability to simulate natural conversation, generate diverse and context-specific responses, and adapt to the user's language level and learning goals. In addition, to providing valuable practice in simulating natural conversation, ChatGPT’s ability to generate coherent and context-specific responses can also help the user to develop their pragmatic skills, such as understanding and interpreting the intended meanings of others. The researchers consider the ethical implications of using ChatGPT for pragmatic language learning and the need for further research in this area. Overall, this paper provides a nuanced perspective on the potential and limitations of ChatGPT as a tool for enhancing pragmatic knowledge.

Given the subsequent turn of the epidemic in language education field, this study aimed to investigate the perceptions of pre-service teachers in the English Language Education Department of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia toward their own digital competencies within their teaching performance. Regarding the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), pre-service teachers are expected to have sufficient high-level digital competencies. In this context, digital competencies are seen as a means to transform language education in the post-pandemic era. In this study, digital competencies refer to five dimensional skills, namely ‘information and data literacy’, ‘communication and collaboration’, ‘digital content creation’, ‘security’, and ‘problem solving’. Fifty-five (55) pre-service teachers who were still enrolled in some particular ICT courses and who performed online teaching participated in the study by completing the Teacher Competency Framework Questionnaire and doing an interview session to assess their digital competencies in the use of ICT within online teaching context. The results showed that the pre-service teachers placed a high value on all five dimensions of digital competence to facilitate their online teaching through the use of ICT, covering both technological and pedagogical functions, making their online teaching delivered more beneficially and effectively. The more acknowledgements toward the role of their digital competencies and required skills of ICT use for pre-service teachers have been increasing due to the switching from offline to online classroom settings as a consequence of COVID-19 pandemic. However, further research into integrated curriculum planning based on the schoolwide ICT curriculum is recommended to promote constructive strategies to support the development of the pre-service teachers’ digital competencies. The much wider digital competencies scope and more specific pre-service teachers ICT educational programs investigation should be adapted in the future research to provide deeper and further analysis toward the pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy about their own digital competencies in online learning context at the same time.

Published: October 2023

The article considers a leather quiver stored in the Novokuznetsk Museum of Local Lore (KP-1975). Previously, it has not become the object of scientific research. The purpose of the study is to introduce information about the quiver into scientific circulation, to clarify its dating and attribution. Results. It is established that in the first half of the XX century the quiver was part of the private collection of the Kuznetsk local historian K.A. Evreinov, and after his death it was transferred to the museum collection. When registering the item, it was recorded as "Quiver – shore". This type of quivers belongs to the wide range of Central Asian quivers of the second half of 16th – mid 19th centuries, but differs from other Mongolian and South Siberian quivers by some features of its construction and ornamentation. The features of the similar quivers are high pointed back, massive upper “eye” extended far forward, and refuse of the ornamentation of the outer side of the quiver with metal plates except for the buckles of the belts and rivets bordering the quiver. All quivers of this type known for today are from the south part of West and Central Siberia, South-East Kazakhstan and Tibet. These regions were invaded by Western Mongols-Oirats (Dzungars, Khoshuts, Derbets etc.) in 17th – mid 18th centuries. The period of usage of the quivers of this type coincides with the period of the domination of different Oirat’s states in the aforementioned regions. . It allows to consider the quivers of this type as quivers of “Oirat’s type”. Conclusions. Based on the design and design features , the quiver from the Novokuznetsk Museum of Local Lore can be dated to the XVII – mid XVIII centuries. It could have been made by both Oirat and South Siberian masters of this period.
Uniform of the fist soldiers of the Peter the Great era in Siberia Historical reconstruction of the uniform, weapons and equipment complex of the Siberian Dragoon garrison regiment of 1715
Authors: Ermolaev Y. S.
Published: October 2023

In the article, on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of sources, the uniform, armament and equipment of dragoons of the Siberian Dragoon garrison regiment during the campaign of I.D. Buchholz 1715-1716 is reconstructed. It was established that the Siberian dragoons wore a green uniform with red cuffs, red doublets and trousers. One of the varieties of caps ("carpuses") was probably used as a headdress. Widespread use of "cocked hats" is unlikely. The main type of remote combat weapons of dragoons were fusees and, possibly, carbines. Broadswords were used in close combat. The collected materials made it possible to recreate the appearance of the Siberian dragoon of the beginning of the XVIII century.
Warfare of the Xianbei Tuyuhun
Authors: Ilushin B. A.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes information from Chinese dynastic chronicles about warfare and the armed forces of the Xianbei proto-state of Tuyuhun (Togon), which existed in the area of Kukunor lake in Northeastern Tibet in 313–663. In the course of the study we identified and analyzed episodes of the military history of Togon, that captured in the Chinese chronicles of nine dynasties (including fragments that had not previously been translated into Russian). Fragmentary information on the Togonian military history with numerous analogies from the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang and Tangut chiefdoms and states (contemporary with Togon), show that the Togonian warfare corresponded to the level of neighboring ethnic groups and evolved in the same trend. The article takes into account the specificity of warfare of the period preceding the resettlement to Kukunor, its evolution towards the creation of "absolute" armor for the rider and horse, and considers the possible place in this process of Togon. Written sources make it possible to draw general conclusions about the structure of the Togonian armed forces, the weapons complex, and some tactical methods. In the absence of firmly established archaeological sites of Togon from the period of independence, more specific conclusions are not yet possible. For a better understanding of the place of Togon in the military history of the region, we have given a list of all its known episodes. The relatively long existence of this political formation, its important role in international trade and politics may indicate the relatively high combat capability of the Togon Xianbeis.

Conflicts, Irregular Migration and Turkey’s Security in the Context of Turkey-European Union Relations
Authors: AÇAR Dilaver Arıkan , YALÇINKAYA Haldun
Published: October 2023

Due to its geographical proximity to conflict zones, Turkey has become the target country for asylum seekers and refugees from different countries having diverse ethnic origins. Turkey’s emerging role as a target country became even more problematic due to the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, triggered by the Arab Spring. The Syrian conflict not only led to an increased flow of refugees but also destabilized the Turkish borders. In this regard, Turkey has established a set of strategies and transformations to tackle these issues. This paper examines how migration has evolved as a security issue for Turkey in the last four decades, in general. In particular, the study deals with the security-related issues in terms of migration from the Turkish perspective and evaluates the refugee crisis in 2016 and its implications for Turkey and the European Union. The article concludes with reactions to irregular migration and the refugee flow by shedding light on both Turkey and the European Union’s perspectives.
