Authors: Nwobilor Chinyere Jane , Nasamu Gambo , Ozigi Emmanuel Enesi , Bagobiri Esther Yimi
Published: November 2023

This study assesses the impact of entrepreneurial training needs among women entrepreneurs in Southeast Nigeria. The study employed exploratory research design and primary data was collected using copies of structured questionnaire from 360 sample respondents. The data collected was analysed using spearman’s rank correlation and multiple regression analysis. The research findings revealed that bookkeeping training needs and Credit recovery training needs emerged as a significant factor in enhancing the performance of women entrepreneurs. On the other hand, access to finance training needs had a highly significant negative impact on the performance of women entrepreneurs. Based on the findings, the study recommends that Government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other relevant stakeholders should collaborate to provide comprehensive and accessible bookkeeping, access to finance and credit recovery training to women entrepreneurs. This will enable them to develop effective financial management skills, make informed decisions, and improve overall business performance.
Exploring the meaning and critical engagement of Cultural Studies Researcher: Focusing on Won Yong-jin’s journey of practical intervention with Cultural Action
Authors:   Korean Association of Cultural Studies, Lee Jongim
Published: November 2023

This paper aims to discuss the journey and meaning of Won Yong-jin's critical engagement in commemoration of his retirement as a professor and co-representative of Cultural Action. Although cultural researchers are engaged in activities to criticize reality with civic groups, Won Yong-jin has a slightly different meaning in that he was an early founding member of the civic group ‘Cultural Action’ and carried out critical activities as a co-representative until his retirement as a professor. The government's cultural policy criticism, journalism, and media literacy movements that he has been involved in for a long time later expanded into regional movements, climate crisis, blacklist movement for cultural artists, and critical discourse on digital technology. He has been seeking to form popular politics and has engaged in critical intervention focusing on political and social agendas. As a result of examining his journey into practical politics, it was found that his theoretical orientation, which considered the value of social participation as a cultural studies researcher, worked even more strongly through Cultural Action.
Characterizing a Real-Driving Brake Emissions Sampling System on a Laboratory Test Bed

Published: November 2023

Brake wear emissions gained significant relevance with the upcoming Euro7 type approval within the European Union for brake emission measurement on the test bed. While the controlled brake test bed approach provides consistent results, real-driving emission (RDE) measurements are needed to better understand actual emission behavior due to varying vehicle and environmental conditions. The EU has already announced its interest in RDE testing. Here we present the results of an RDE brake wear sampling system with minimal thermal impact, where particles are only sampled from one side of the brake disc, characterized on a laboratory sampling system. The investigations aim to validate symmetric particle release and to confirm that doubling the measured RDE results effectively represents the reference emissions on the test bed. The discovered positive correlation between brake temperature and PN, PM2.5, and PM10 emissions under different cooling settings emphasizes the importance of our system with minimal interference with the vehicle's cooling behavior to maintain accurate emission results. Following the Trip-10 test cycle, we found deviations between the test bed and RDE sampling system ranged from -18% to +9% for PM2.5, -12% to +24% for PM10, and -23% to +0% for PN. Reasons could be potential particle losses, unequal wear of the inner and outer brake side, or particle crosstalk between both sides of the brake. Finding the optimum sampling flow within the tested range will lead to the desired agreement of results. Evaluating this brake’s emissions with both sampling systems following the WLTP-Brake cycle (used for the upcoming Euro7 legislation) resulted in 1.4-1.8 mg/km and 5.2-5.5 mg/km per front brake for PM2.5 and PM10, respectively. This would exceed the upcoming Euro7 limit more than twice on a vehicle basis.
Some Considerations for Brake-Based Park Systems, Including Residual Drag Impact
Authors: Antanaitis David , Harris Maria Richelle , Connor Kevin , Riefe Mark
Published: November 2023

Brake-based park systems, where an electric parking brake system becomes fully responsible for vehicle immobilization and enables elimination of the traditional driveline-based parking pawl, has increased in popularity, especially in full Electric Vehicles. At face value, the promise of saving mass, cost, and critical packaging space in an electric drive unit is compelling. However, this must be weighed carefully against less obvious impacts, which include engineering in added redundancy, significant changes in “real world” duty cycle of EPB components, risk of brake pad and rotor crevice corrosion, and perhaps most acutely because it affects every drive cycle, the impact to residual drag and therefore vehicle energy use. The present work endeavors to present a balanced view of the considerations, both advantages and tradeoffs, for brake-based park systems, with a special focus on the residual drag behavior because it is perhaps the most difficult to characterize, most variable in its behavior, but most impactful to the vehicle effect.
Managing Change in the Teaching and Learning of Geography in South African FET Classrooms
Authors: Nhlumayo Buhle Stella , Mofokeng Mamokete
Published: November 2023

This paper examined the management of change in the teaching of geography from a teacher-centred to a learner-centred pedagogical approach in order to transform teaching to improve learners’ academic outcomes in Further Education and Training (FET) classrooms. Managing change for this paper means actively making changes to benefit geography education in schools and to provide possible solutions that may be introduced in geography education to improve the quality of teaching and learning specifically changing from traditional methods to more active learner-centred methods of teaching and learning in geography. Underpinned by the interpretive qualitative paradigm and the Transformational Learning Theory, using phenomenology as the mode of inquiry, this paper generated data through semi-structured interviews with three geography teachers and structured classroom observations in three geography classrooms. Data was analysed through thematic analysis. The paper responded to what strategies could be used to promote effective and active learner-centred teaching and learning of geography in FET classrooms. The findings revealed that teaching methods are needed to connect geography curriculum content to learners’ real lives. This meant that teachers needed to use learners’ experience and prior knowledge as the platform for teaching, where they only facilitated and guided learners to take charge of their knowledge construction. In light of the findings, the paper recommends collaborative teaching among teachers and the effective use of technology, teaching aids, and resources in the effective teaching of geography.

Кількісний та персональний склад шведських переселенців з Естляндії до Південної України в 1781-1782 рр.
Authors: Чирук С.В.
Published: November 2023

У статті розглядаються різні версії щодо кількості шведських переселенців з Естонії до України в 1781-1782 рр. Проводиться зовнішня та внутрішня критика джерел із цього питання. Для зовнішньої критики використовуються позаджерельні знання щодо обставин та часу створення документів. Внутрішня критика полягає у застосування методу контамінації персоналізованої інформації різних списків (поєднання інформації щодо конкретних осіб). Порівнювалась інформація так званого «Списку Фрізеля» (14 – 15 липня 1781 р.), «Списку Синельникова» (26 серпня 1781 р.), ревізійного списку за 1782 р. (23 червня 1794 р.) та списку померлих з метричної книги (червень 1782 – травень 1783 рр.). Також використовувалась інформація з бухгалтерської книги (1781-1782 рр.)конвоїра переселенців – капітана Єгора Макаретова і матеріали землеміра Петра Полозова (1781 р.).

На думку автора, різночитання щодо кількості шведських переселенців до України, які існують в історіографії, були викликані недостатньо критичним ставленням авторів до історичних джерел. Водночас документи дають змогу достатньо точно встановити кількість осіб, які вирушили до України та кількість тих, хто, зрештою, прибув на місце поселення.

Проведений аналіз дозволяє прийти до висновку, що у кількісному відношенні найбільш достовірну інформацію про переселенців подає так званий «Список Синельникова» (967 осіб). Цей же документ найбільш повно фіксує і персональний склад переселенців, що знаходить підтвердження у співпадіннях з метричною книгою, але не в повній мірі відображає дійсність. Було виявлено, що переселенню передувала кількаразова заміна 11 господарств, які мали переїздити, останню з яких не встигли зафіксувати в документах.

Можна припустити, що кількість переселенців, які дісталися на місце поселення в травні 1782 р., також, більш-менш відповідає дійсності. Тим не менш, персональний склад переселенців з ревізійного списку за 1782 рік, викликає сумніви.

Published: November 2023

Abstract:Various evangelistic studies have focused on remote areas and paid less attention to urban communities. Jakarta as the capital city of Indonesia presents a heterogeneous society. One of the elements of society that has significance for the cultural and social formation in Jakarta is the community of Chinese descent. The Seventh-day Adventist Church (GMAHK) has a challenge to construct a contextual mission model in order to reach the Chinese community in Jakarta. By using descriptive qualitative methods and analysis, this study tries to formulate a contextual model that is contributive to the service of the Seventh-day Adventist Church's mission. In conclusion, the appropriate construction of contextual evangelism for the Seventh-day Adventist Church is to present Christ as the main foundation of truth and appreciate God's manifestations in the cultural practices and personal experiences of the Chinese community in Jakarta.Abstrak:Berbagai kajian penginjilan terpusat pada daerah-daerah pelosok dan kurang memberikan perhatian terhadap masyarakat perkotaan. Jakarta sebagai ibu kota Indonesia menampilkan masyarakat yang heterogenik. Salah satu elemen masyarakat yang memiliki signifikansi terhadap pembentukan budaya dan sosial di Jakarta adalah masyarakat keturunan Tionghoa. Gereja Masehi Advent Hari Ke-tujuh (GMAHK) memiliki tantangan untuk mengkonstruksikan model misi kontekstual dalam rangka menjangkau komunitas Tionghoa di Jakarta. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dan analisis, penelitian ini mencoba mengformulasikan model kontekstual yang kontributif bagi pelayanan misi GMAHK. Sebagai kesimpulan, konstruksi penginjilan kontekstual yang tepat bagi GMAHK adalah menampilkan Kristus sebagai landasan utama kebenaran dan menghargai manifestasi Allah pada praktik budaya dan pengalaman pribadi masyarakat Tionghoa di Jakarta.
Perbandingan Algoritma Tunstall Code Dengan Phased-In Code Pada Kompresi Pesan Teks Dengan Metode Single Exponential
Authors: Pakpahan Kristina
Published: November 2023

Teks pada umumnya berisi rangkaian karakter dan dapat membentuk suatu kata, surat dan narasi. Misalnya, pesan teks yang ukurannya besar mengakibatkan proses pengiriman semakin lama, serta menggunakan ruang memori yang besar dalam penyimpanan nya. Maka untuk menghemat ruang penyimpanan dan mempercepat proses pengiriman pesan teks, perlu dilakukan proses kompresi agar ukuran pesan teks tersebut menjadi lebih kecil. Teknik kompresi yang dapat memampatkan pesan teks adalah kompresi pesan menggunakan algoritma Tunstall code dan Phased-in code. Kedua algoritma ini memiliki perbedaan dalam mengompresi pesan teks. Sistem kerja algoritma Tunstall code adalah menentukan rangkaian/sequence simbol untuk setiap codeword, mengambil probabilitas tertinggi dan melakukan iterasi sebanyak N (jumlah symbol) yang akan dikompresi, sedangkan sistem kerja algoritma Phased-in code adalah memberikan sebuah alphabet untuk N simbol, dimulai dengan sebuah tabel kode yang terdiri dari simbol-simbol. Dari perbedaan algoritma tersebut, maka penulis membandingkan kedua algoritma dengan menggunakan metode perbandingan, yaitu metode Single exponential. Dengan menggunakan metode Single exponential, penulis berhasil membandingkan kedua algoritma, dan menghasilkan satu algoritma yang baik untuk pengompresian pesan teks, yaitu algoritma Tunstall code.

Kriptografi adalah ilmu sekaligus seni untuk menjaga keamanan data atau pesan dengan cara menyandikannya ke dalam bentuk yang tidak dapat dimengerti lagi maknanya salah satunya adalah dengan enkripsi dan dekripsi. Enkripsi adalah proses penyamaran suatu pesan atau sandi menjadi bentuk yang tidak mempunyai makna untuk menjaga kerahasiaan, keamanan, atau keotentikan suatu data atau pesan. Pada proses ini plainteks atau teks asli dikonversikan menjadi cipherteks (teks tersandi). Merkle-Hellman merupakan Kriptosistem yang dibuat oleh Merkle dan Hellman pada tahun 1980 Walaupun sistem ini, dan beberapa variannya, telah dipecahkan sekitar awal tahun 1980, tetapi masih layak untuk dipelajari dengan berbagai alasan. Masalah yang mendasari matematika adalah masalah penjumlahan himpunan bagian dimana sangat berhubungan dengan masalah dari operasi pencarian. Suatu masalah bisa dideskripsikan sebagai berikut. Jika setiap elemen dari himpunan S adalah suatu bilangan integer positif. Diberikan suatu himpunan bagian dari S, penjumlah dari elemen terdekat dari bagian himpunan bilangan menghasilkan bilangan integer yang berkoresponden dengan himpunan bagiannya. Hal inilah yang mendasari membuat aplikasi untuk menjaga keamanan data arsip.
Implementasi Metode Arithmatic Mean Filter Untuk Mereduksi Noise Pada Citra Night Shoot
Authors: Sofyan Zul Fikri
Published: November 2023

Seorang di bidang pemotretan, sering mengalami keluh kesah tentang hasil kualitas saat pengambilan tangkapan citra pada malam hari (Night Shoot). Biasanya citra yang dihasilkan mengalami penurunan kualitas karena disebabkan adanya efek negatif dari noise. Noise yang dimaksud pada penelitian ini ialah berupa adanya bintik-bintik hitam pada area lingkup citra, tetapi yang ditangkap pada situasi malam hari. Baik itu keadaan adanya pantulan cahaya pada area gelap maupun kendala adanya kabut pada malam hari. Hal ini merupakan pokok penting yang harus diteliti dalam pengambilan citra malam hari, khususnya pengguna yang hobi dibidang pemotretan agar pengambilan hasil citranya terlihat baik. Oleh sebab itu, hal yang harus dikenal dari penyebab munculnya noise rata-rata dikarenakan adanya debu yang melekat pada lensa kamera, versi pembaruan aplikasi pada kamera terlalu rendah, kualitas pengaturan dari ISO terlalu tinggi sehingga dampak dari piksel citra mengalami penurunan, dan minusnya kualitas piksel kamera yang dimiliki. Semua dampak ini akan menimbulkan hasil citra yang buruk. Dengan demikian, perlu adanya teknik untuk mengurangi adanya noise pada hasil tangkapan citra malam hari yaitu metode Arithmatic Mean Filter. Arithmatic Mean Filter merupakan bentuk teknik filtering dasar dalam menghaluskan dan mengurangkan noise dengan menggunakan piksel dari keseluruhan ke piksel area sekitarnya pada citra malam hari. Metode ini mendefenisikan citra yang mengalami kerusakan g(s,t) dan untuk area citra sekililingnya

Legal systems generally accept that contracts may be concluded by way of hard bargaining. This could entail obtaining assent through threats of lawful acts, such as terminating a contract by notice, refusing to enter into a new contract, or instituting legal proceedings. However, in exceptional cases, a threat of a lawful act may be regarded as unlawful or contra bonos mores and give rise to duress. Unfortunately, the South African contract law on identifying these cases is undeveloped. Recent advances in English law may provide guidance on when a threat of a lawful act should be regarded as unlawful. Relevant considerations that could point to such a conclusion include whether the party making the threat created or increased a situation of vulnerability in an unacceptable manner, and what benefits such a party obtained from the threat. It is less clear why it should matter whether a demand was made in bad faith.

The use of technology has indeed contributed to supporting and improving education, making learning approachable and obtainable to a large number of students, especially during the epidemic lockdown of schools where people are forced to stay at home. Therefore, universities shift to online mode of teaching which is conducted through e-learning system.  However, the success of e-learning approach in Iraqi universities depends mainly on the attitudes of students towards online learning and their acceptance of it. Thus, this paper investigates the perspectives of university students, males and females, on the use of e-learning by their instructors at Basra university during COVID-19 pandemic.  Using SPSS software for the analysis of the collected data, the equations of Weighted Mean and Percentile Weight, the results of the study demonstrate that university students view that though e-learning is beneficial and flexible. That is, they have to struggle to stay in touch with their virtual classes and teachers. Some of them do not even have an access to laptops or smart phones, while some others have poor or non-existent Wi-Fi connections. This is due to the lack of strong and effective internet networks, in addition to the lack of sufficient experience on how to use the internet and manage e-learning platforms. To overcome these obstacles, there should be more forward planning on the part of the educational institutions and policy makers. They should improve the quality of internet connectivity and provide facilities as well as good communication services to students.

Agent Based Modeling and Simulation & Usage of Oral and Dental Diseases to predict criminals & crimes: in part one (this paper) of our research description we only try to describe the knowledge of Cognitive Science, Agent-Based Simulation, Social Simulation, Artificial Intelligence and Multi Agent Systems. In the other hand in the second part (next paper) we will show how we can use the oral & dental diseases as a most important data for the Agent-Based Social Simulation, to early predict the criminals and crimes. In social simulating to create social behavioral modeling we need to apply the cognitive abilities. The cognitive ability is the most important property for the social agent. But the agent architecture is not included this ability. The agent with the cognitive ability will be able to improve the models of the behaviors in the society. This ability not only will be useful in the area of the society security and immigrant’s behavior in the target society, but also it is very useful in business and management fields. In this paper we are going to indicate different fields that can be used to predict the behavior of human. To know the different behaviors can make us to be able to predict criminals earlier by applying the comparison target’s internal harmony of life with the external harmony of world. So we will be able to predict the criminals before doing the crimes. It will help us to have secure life. Besides it will be useful in any other fields of life such as business, banking, political aspects, human resources and etc.

Published: November 2023

This study was undertaken to investigate the strengths and weaknesses in the practice of the SEU system within the regular schools in Ampara district, Sri Lanka. The study followed both quantitative and qualitative (mixed) approach and survey research design. Data collection was primarily based on questionnaires, observations, and interviews. Additionally, secondary sources were consulted to understand the narrative coming from the field. The sample included 27 school principals, seven In-Service Advisors (ISAs) of Special Education, and 86 special education teachers. Quantitative data were analyzed using diagram, figures and percentage with supports of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), and narrative analyze methods employed for analyzing qualitative data gathered. The findings of the study indicated that majority of the SEUs obtain professional support in matters regarding human resources (such as recruiting teachers, teaching assistants, doctors, and counsellors). Further, some schools have modified their resources to meet the needs of the students with special educational needs (SENs). SEUs provide opportunities for students with SENs to participate in extra-curricular activities with other students in the classrooms and schools, though such participation fluctuates depending on the type of activity involved. However, the majority of schools with SEUs grapple with several shortcomings in terms of human resources and physical infrastructure as well as the philosophy behind their approach to students with SENs. These have to be promptly tackled in order to the future to be better for these students. Therefore, as a final point, this study recommends several measures for the future development of the SEU system in the Sri Lankan education system.

Published: November 2023

A psilocibina é o princípio ativo dos cogumelos da espécie Psilocybe cubensis, historicamente conhecidos como cogumelos mágicos. É um agonista dos receptores serotoninérgicos 5HT2A. O seu uso para o tratamento do transtorno de ansiedade generalizada e da depressão em indivíduos com câncer em estágio terminal apresenta resultados promissores em ensaios clínicos. Objetivo: Revisão da literatura acerca da eficácia e da segurança da psicoterapia assistida por psilocibina para o tratamento da depressão e ansiedade em pacientes oncológicos em risco de vida pela doença. Método: Revisão da literatura mediante busca nas bases de dados Pubmed e Medline, utilizando o termo em inglês "psilocybin cancer”. Foram selecionados artigos que incluíram pacientes oncológicos em risco de vida pela doença publicados entre 2011 e 2020. Foram selecionados apenas ensaios clínicos randomizados, duplo cego controlados por placebo. Resultado: Apenas 3 artigos, dos 143 selecionados, se enquadraram nos critérios de inclusão. Além de se mostrar segura, os estudos encontraram eficácia no uso da psilocibina para o tratamento dos sintomas de ansiedade e depressão nos pacientes. Houve também melhora do bem-estar, otimismo e diminuição do sofrimento psicológico e existencial relacionado ao câncer. Considerações: A psicoterapia assistida por psilocibina pode ser promissora no contexto de cuidados paliativos de pacientes oncológicos.

SAŽETAK

Perfuzija se odnosi na isporuku kiseonika i hranljive materije u tkiva putem protok krvi i jedan je od najosnovnijih fiziološki parametri. Poremećaji perfuzije takođe čine većinu vodeći uzroci medicinskog invaliditeta i mortalitet. Dok mjerenja od perfuzije imaju direktnu dijagnostičku vrijednost u vaskularni poremećaji, mjerenja perfuzije takođe služe kao biomarkeri za a širi spektar fizioloških i patofizioloških funkcije. Bliska sprega između cerebralnog krvotoka i metabolizma omogućava regionalnu funkciju mozga biti procijenjen mjerenjima od cerebralnu perfuziju i povećanu vaskularnost neoplazmi omogućava perfuziju tumora da se koristi kao mjera tumora stepena i za praćenje odgovora na tumor terapija.

U oblasti MRI, najviše ljudi povezuju pojam perfuzije snimanje s dinamičkim kontrastom osjetljivosti snimanje pomoću kontrasta za opuštanje agent.

ASL Perfuzija je tehnika MR perfuzije koja ne zahtjeva intravensku primjenu kontrastnog sredstva ( za razliku od DSc I DCE perfuzije). Umjesto toga, koristi sposobnost MRI-a da magnetski označi arterijsku krv. Parametar koji se najčešče izvodi je cerebralni protok krvi (CBF).

ASL je vrlo pogodna tehnika za upotrebu u pedijatriji, u kojoj upotreba radioaktivnih tragova moze biti ograničena. Također je sigurna metoda za primjenu kod pacijenata sa oštečenom bubrežnom funkcijom.
SCHIZOPHRENIA AND ITS REPRESENTATIONS IN BRAZILIAN MUSIC
Authors: Rocha Raquel
Published: November 2023

This article proposes to investigate the meanings of madness and the crazy person in five songs that address the theme: Balada do Louco, Maluco Beleza, Hino dos Malucos, Bicho de sete cabezas and Sufoco da vida. The objective is to compare the literary discourses about the crazy and madness with the guidelines in the World Health Organization Report: Mental Health: new conception, new hope of 2001. The analysis of song lyrics allowed the association with the approach of different authors and with the report from the World Health Organization. The songs discuss important problems such as violence in asylum institutions, social medicalization and prejudice. The lyrics also refer to the issue of the patient’s capabilities and establish a fine line between madness and normality. More than corroborating with the perspectives of mental health, through this analysis it is believed that music can be a supporting agent in the process of social awareness as recommended by the World Health Organization. It is noteworthy that this discussion goes beyond the field of mental health also covering the field of culture, debating how society relates to the experience of madness and discussing its implications.
