Authors:   Danang University of Architecture, Vietnam, Thai Phuong Le
Published: September 2024

This study focuses on understanding the influence of gamification factors on the level of engagement in the learning process of students at higher education institutions in Da Nang city. The quantitative study was conducted with a sample size of 237. SmartPLS software was used to evaluate the measurement model and structural model. The results show that Gamification elements, especially competition and challenge, have a positive influence on student attitudes toward using gamification in the classroom. This positive attitude also promoted student emotional and behavioral engagement, but had no significant impact on cognitive engagement. Theoretically, the research results contribute to expanding and enriching the content of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), a fundamental theory in explaining the relationship between attitudes and behavior. In addition, the study also brings important practical implications for the design and implementation of gamification applications in the context of higher education to promote engagement and improve student learning quality

UNVEILING THE POWER OF CAUCHY'S RESIDUE THEOREM FOR EVALUATING THE INTEGRATION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPLEX FUNCTIONS
Authors: Adhikari Ganesh Prasad
Published: September 2024

Cauchy's residue theorem gives a relatively general form for a complex integral along a simple closed contour. With the help of Cauchy's residue theorem, an appropriate closed contour can be chosen to calculate some abnormal definite integrals that might be very complicated and difficult to solve by conventional methods. This study focuses on four distinct types of definite integrals: integrals involving sine and cosine functions, polynomial functions, exponential functions, and logarithmic functions. The contours chosen are a sector of a circle that involves one or several isolated singularities of the function. The residue at the isolated singularities of the function is then calculated. The value of the residues is substituted in the formula deducted from Cauchy's residue theorem. The integral along the simple closed contour can be expressed in two parts, one along the real axis and the other along the circle. This study demonstrates that Cauchy's Residue Theorem is superior to conventional real analysis methods for evaluating the integrals of different types of complex functions.

Schürmann’s Cicero
Authors: Hutchens Benjamin ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2024

This article evaluates the success of Reiner Schürmann’s reading of Cicero in Broken Hegemonies. It examines his reading phusis/natura, the divine mind and natural law, the “natural birth of the city,” and universal/(normative) singular dichotomies in the presentation of the “Latin fantasm” Cicero’s work allegedly represents. Offering a closer reading of Cicero, specifically his De Legibus, De Re Publica and De Officiis, this article will show that Cicero does not represent the Latin fantasm in any clear and compelling way. In particular, the “law of nature” in Cicero is not hegemonic in the way that Schürmann insists it is.
Analysing temperature distributions in turbine first-stage rotor blades of a helicopter turboshaft engine
Authors: Tien-Duong Le  , Doan Cong Nguyen  , Thanh Le Nguyen
Published: September 2024

In helicopter turboshaft engines, turbine blades operate under extreme conditions. With increasing engine power, the gas temperature following the combustion chamber can reach approximately 1300 K. The turbine rotors endure significant centrifugal forces due to their high rotational speeds. Additionally, they experience thermal and aerodynamic loads from the flow of combustible gases, which non-uniformly impact the turbine blades at high temperatures. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of turbine blade materials are limited and strongly influenced by operating temperatures. This article presents a numerical investigation focusing on the temperature distribution of first-stage turbine rotor blades that do not feature internal cooling channels. The results indicate the regions of peak temperatures and evaluate rotor blade strength. Comparative analysis between theoretical and numerical calculations of blade temperature distribution reveals minor disparities:  approximately 30 degrees at the blade shroud, 8 degrees at the mid-span section, and 15 degrees at the hub. These variations amount to less than 3% at the shroud, 1% at the mid-span section, and 1.5% at the hub.

Analysis of the Influence of Dividend Policy on Changes in Stock Prices in Manufacturing Companies Listed on the IDX
Authors: Arini Lusia Sri
Published: September 2024

Research Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to analyze the impact of dividend policy on share prices in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Specifically, the research aims to: Examine how different dividend policies affect investor perceptions and their subsequent influence on share price movements. Identify the key factors within dividend policies that contribute to fluctuations in share prices. Explore the implications of dividend policy decisions on long-term investor confidence and market behavior. Revised Statement: Dividend policy is a strategic decision made by a company regarding how to utilize its profits—whether to distribute them as dividends to shareholders or retain them for further investment in the business. This research focuses on analyzing the impact of dividend policy on share prices in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The study employs a qualitative approach, gathering information through a comprehensive literature review. The data collected undergoes several stages of analysis, including data simplification, visualization, and the formulation of conclusions. The findings indicate that dividend policy significantly affects share prices. Dividend policy shapes investor perceptions of the company, which in turn influences share price movements. For instance, consistent dividend payments can bolster investor confidence and send a positive signal about the company’s performance, potentially driving buying activity in the market. Conversely, a reduction in dividend payments might raise investor concerns, possibly leading to a decline in share prices. Research Implications: The implications of this study are twofold. First, for corporate decision-makers, the research underscores the importance of carefully considering dividend policies as they directly influence investor confidence and share price stability. Second, for investors, the findings provide insights into how dividend policies can serve as indicators of a company’s financial health and future performance, guiding their investment decisions.

Published: September 2024

The Abel differential equations of second kind, named after Niels Henrik Abel, are a class of ordinary differential equations studied by many authors. Here we consider the Abel quadratic polynomial differential equations  of second kind denoting this class by \(QS_{Ab}\). Firstly we split the whole family of non-degenerate quadratic systems in four subfamilies according to the number of infinite singularities. Secondly for each one of these four subfamilies we determine necessary and sufficient affine invariant conditions for a quadratic system in this subfamily   to belong to the class \(QS_{Ab}\). Thirdly we classify all the phase portraits in the Poincar\'e disc of the systems in \(QS_{Ab}\) in the case when they have at infinity either one triple singularity (21 phase portraits) or an infinite number of singularities (9 phase portraits). Moreover we determine the affine invariant criteria for the realization of each one of the 30 topologically distinct phase portraits.

With the current global trend in energy demand due to the increase in human population and technological inclination in carrying out day to day activities, the conventional crude oil is fast depleting and thus an alternative source of energy is needed for sustainability for the fuel/energy supply. Natural bitumen upgrading could serve as an alternative source for the future fuel supply but the process of upgrading the bitumen needs to be optimized to obtain the best conditions at which the bitumen upgrading process would effectively take place which brought about this study. In this study research work, optimization of Agbabu bitumen in the presence of rice husks using response surface methodology (RSM) was carried out to determine the optimal conditions at which the bitumen could be upgraded. Box-Behnken Designed experiment (BBD) was used as the template to design the experiment where the chosen variable factors were temperature, residence time and rice husks at a range or level of (300 – 350
oC), (30 – 180 min) and (0.6 – 1.0 wt.%) for each of the variable factor respectively and the chosen responses were viscosity, API gravity, residue yield and light oil yield. The Agbabu bitumen was characterized by viscosity at 70
oC to be 86.78 Pa.s, density at 60
oC to be 1.0153 Kg/L, H/C ratio 1.19:1 and API gravity of 7.87
o etc. The optimum conditions at which the Agbabu bitumen could be upgraded for maximum yield of light oil was found to be (temperature 345.716
oC, residence time 30.0 min, and rice husks 1.0 wt.%) at response value of viscosity 8.340 Pa.s, API gravity 24.520
o, residue yield 22.39 w/w% and light oil yield 50.064 w/w%. The light oil yield for the upgraded Agbabu bitumen at the optimum conditions had a desirability of 0.688989, amounting to 68.4% yield. The overall desirability for the whole upgrading process was 0.909415 at the optimum conditions. Thus, indicating an acceptable optimization and upgrading process for Agbabu bitumen.

Retaining workpiece dimensional accuracy and quality, elongated tool life, minimal surface roughness, minimum tool wear and overall high productivity in metal cutting (machining) operations are areas the cutting fluids plays pivotal role. This study focuses on surface roughness, cutting temperature and tool wear by evaluating their optimal factor effectiveness during turning of AISI 1020 Mild Steel using an environmentally friendly cutting fluid. Serious concern has been raised about the non-biodegradable and non-recyclable of the conventional (mineral based) cutting fluid and this prompted the renewal of research interest in environmentally friendly cutting fluids such as the neem seed oil based cutting fluid. The locally sourced neem seed oil (NSO) was characterized by investigating the physiochemical properties and the fatty acid composition (FAC). Surface roughness, cutting temperature and tool wear were minimized during turning of AISI Mild Steel using coated carbide insert with the evaluation compared with the mineral oil based cutting fluid. Taguchi experimental design was employed during the optimization. The formulated fluid showed 8.35 pH value, 0.896 m

A Novel Perspective On The Analysis Of Residential Property Prices Near Transportation Investments: Wide-Range Vs Narrow-Range Factors
Authors: Şahin Onur , Gokasar Ilgin
Published: September 2024

A new perspective is available for the relationship between transportation systems and property prices, “evaluation by considering bandwidths”. The term “bandwidth” indicates the number of neighbor data points having an influence on the target point. The main motivation of this research is eliminating the restricted effects of a spatial analysis. When a single bandwidth value is defined for all models, indicate that an equal number of neighbor data in GWR influences all factors of the model for target points. When the multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) is used, a unique bandwidth value can be defined for each factor. This study, by using MGWR, provides researchers the ability of distinguishing the effects of factors and classifying them as either wide-range or narrow-range. A total of 3487 geographical data were collected for a study area covering Esenyurt and Beylikduzu Counties in Istanbul, Turkey. As a result, when considering different bandwidths, factors are indeed recognized as either narrow-range or wide-range. The output of this study proved that the researchers are strongly recommended considering the bandwidth effects while performing a spatial regression analysis. Hence, the gap in the selection of factors for spatial analyses in different study areas is likely to be fulfilled.
Kein EU-Geld für Thüringen?

In Deutschland wird die Regierungsbeteiligung einer rechtsextremen Partei zumindest auf Landesebene ein immer realistischeres Szenario. In so einem Fall könnte die EU mit fast allen ihren Instrumenten auch gegen die autoritäre Regierung eines Bundeslandes vorgehen – selbst wenn sich die Bundesregierung weiter an EU-Recht hielte. Das Zurückhalten von EU-Fördergeldern wäre das effektivste Mittel der EU, um die Rechtstaatlichkeit auf regionaler Ebene zu schützen.

Implementation of Sustainable Economic Growth (Constitutional and Legal Aspects)
Authors: Mazaev Vladimir D.
Published: September 2024

The article deals with the implementation of the constitutional norm on creation of conditions for sustainable economic growth, draws attention to the nature of the implementation of general constitutional norms with economic content. It is shown that the constitutional framework of sustainable economic growth practically does not determine the content of this concept, which comes from its economic nature, it is interconnected with various aspects of philosophical, sociological, environmental, moral attitudes, as well as with related economic institutions. The application of this legal category is complicated by the ambiguity of understanding sustainable economic growth, its conditions and factors both in law and in economics. It is difficult for the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation to “capitalize” the norm on sustainable economic growth without establishing an appropriate economic interpretation of the concept. The implementation of the constitutional norm on creating conditions for sustainable economic growth requires additional legal regulation and specific legal content in laws and by-laws. Proposals are formulated to improve the legal regulation of sustainable economic growth, including the consolidation in legislation the concepts of “sustainable economic growth”, “sustainable development”, as well as a list of standards, conditions for economic growth. The work used general scientific methods (dialectics, system analysis, analogies) and methods of legal research (formal legal, interpretation, historical, etc.)
