“I WOULD LIKE TO GET A JOB IN ONE OF THE WARM REPUBLICS OF THE SOVIET UNION” NEW MATERIALS FOR THE BIOGRAPHY OF L.P. KARSAVIN. PART ONE
Authors: Sharonov Vladimir I. ,   Western branch of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration
Published: July 2024

The article is the first part of the reconstruction of the circumstances of the post-war life of L.P. Karsavin and I.L. Karsavina in Vilnius from July 1944 to July 1949. On a strictly documentary basis, the author methodically shows how the initial distrust of security officials towards the former ideologist of Eurasianism Lev Karsavin took shape in a chain of successive attempts by Lev Platonovich and Irina Lvovna to find their place in post-war Soviet reality, but ended in life tragedies for every member of the Karsavin family. They were largely predetermined by the insurmountable contradictions between the Christian views of the thinker, the serious illness of his daughter and the stake of the extremely ideologized state power on the repressive, forceful elimination of any manifestations of dissent and disagreement with the political course, that were further aggravated by the most difficult post-war situation in Lithuania. The author introduces into the scientific circulation many previously unknown documents of great importance for the history of Russian philosophy.
FEMALE DEMONOLOGICAL CHARACTERS IN THE ARKHANGELSK DIALECTS. MYTHOLOGICAL BATH MISTRESS
Authors: Annenkova Daria A. ,   Moscow State University
Published: July 2024

The article is part of a larger study dedicated to the examination of mythological characters of the Russian North from a gender perspective, which involves a systematic analysis of the functions, appearances, and characteristics of these characters. In this work, research has been conducted on the nomination of the female mythological character of the bathhouse. This nomination can depend on the locus (derivatives from the lexeme “banya” and others are used), on actions, functions (derivatives arise from the verbs “zadirat’,” “obdirat’,” “buchit’”), and on external appearance. Additionally, certain lexical items are used to perform a complementary function (e.g., “matushka,” “babushka”), proper names, including those associated with folk beliefs about a woman who assisted in the birth of Christ. The female mythological character of the bathhouse appears in anthropomorphic or zoomorphic forms, sometimes lacking a clear description. This character can be paired with a male character or stand alone. It can either help or harm a person if they violate established prohibitions. It is believed that the “family” of mythological bathhouse owners, like the “family” of mythological house spirits, can serve as a mirror reflection of the human family. The research was conducted based on the materials from the Arkhangelsk dialects (using the “Arkhangelsk Regional Dictionary” and its extensive card index) and may provide an opportunity for researchers aiming to conduct a comparative analysis of mythonyms to utilize materials from the Arkhangelsk dialects alongside other materials collected in the Russian North and other regions.
A Igreja colocada na cruz

Published: July 2024

Após 60 anos do golpe de 1964, ainda vivenciamos o debate acerca da memória, justiça e reparação dos perseguidos políticos da repressão que se instaurou no Brasil durante duas décadas. Com a redemocratização, verificaremos nas décadas seguintes ações de reparação no contexto da chamada Justiça de Transição. Nossa pesquisa problematiza o referido contexto a partir das Caravanas da Anistia, em especial, o caso do padre J. Comblin. O episódio em questão, permiti-nos compreender o contexto da ditadura militar no Brasil a partir da ideia do passado-presente, conceituado por Dosse de contemporaneidade do não contemporâneo. Sendo assim, desenvolver a compreensão de tal período como processo inacabado, percebendo as tensões, práticas e discursos que se alimentam de seu contexto numa relação permanente de passado-presente. Para analisar este processo permanente de atualização a partir da Justiça de Transição, apoiamo-nos nos pressupostos teóricos de Rousso, para quem, a memória é a presença do passado – História que não passa.
Desconstrução de visões eurocentradas sobre Áfricas e suas culturas nas escolas e universidades brasileiras: elementos para uma educação antirracista e plural.
Authors: Andre Sonia , Silva Lúcia da Conceição
Published: July 2024

Este artigo é resultado de nossas inquietações sobre um mundo colonizado e colonizador, presente em vários discursos e ações de pessoas que se veem brancas, dentro de espaços acadêmicos nos quais transitamos. Não é nosso objetivo trazer discussões exaustivas sobre a invisibilidade das histórias dos povos africanos e afros, mas a partir de nossas vivências apontar outros ângulos de suas existências, através de nossas trajetórias. Uma “educação” antirracista para a construção de sociedades sem cópias e obediências epistêmicas é de suma importância. Daí, apontamos caminhos que possibilitem o desfazer de construtos tidos como verdadeiros, buscando abordagens descolonizantes e práticas nos espaços educacionais, pois entendemos que o nosso fazer educacional deve construir-se no contexto das relações sociais, étnicoraciais, num verdadeiro diálogo com os vários saberes dos povos africanos.

En este artículo, empleamos la regresión logística como técnica de machine learning para predecir cual es la probabilidad que un estudiante de primer semestre de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José De Caldas repruebe  o aprueba la materia de cálculo y con qué porcentaje.
Para ello hacer uso de la base de datos de estudiantes disponible en el repositorio de datos de la universidad distrital FJC ver [1].
Inicialmente utilizamos regresión logística utilizando la edad de ingreso del estudiante y la nota obtenida en semestres anteriores, para predecir el porcentaje con el cual un nuevo estudiante obtendría una nota aprobatoria según las normas de la universidad distrital la cual es tres punto cero (3.0).
Como segundo término utilizamos regresión logística múltiple, con ella utilizamos más de dos variables de entrada y la nota obtenida por los estudiantes en el semestre anterior. Con ello predecimos la nota del estudiante con un porcentaje de aprobación.
En primer término, mediante regresión logística simple, predecimos, la probabilidad de que un estudiante con determinado puntaje en las pruebas de estado (ICFES) repruebe una materia de primer semestre en la Universidad Distrital FJC de Bogotá.  Para ello hemos utilizado Python y las librerías keras y tensorflow. Para evaluar la eficiencia de nuestro modelo, hemos analizado los datos mediante: El error cuadrático medio, Mean Squere error´ (MSE), La raíz del MSE, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) y el coeficiente de determinación (R2). también hemos evaluado nuestro modelo mediante, la raíz cuadrada del error cuadrático medio, RMSE: Root Mean Square´ Error que nos mide que tan bien se ajusta una línea de regresión´ a los puntos de datos.
Para el manejo de la base de datos se trabajó sobre archivos .cvs y fueron manipulados mediante NumPy y Pandas librerías para tal fin suministradas por Python.
Mejora en la clasificación de datos con desbalance de clases mediante una redistribución de clases por k-means
Authors: Alarcón Paredes Antonio , Alegre Ventura Roberto Jhoshua , Alonso Silverio Gustavo Adolfo
Published: July 2024

En el campo del aprendizaje automático, existen varios desafíos que afectan el desempeño de los algoritmos de clasificación. Algunos de estos incluyen la maldición de la dimensionalidad o el desbalanceo de clases. La maldición de la dimensionalidad es un fenómeno que ocurre cuando el número de características (p) de un conjunto de datos aumenta significativamente en comparación con el número de instancias (n) disponibles. Por otro lado, el desbalanceo de clases ocurre cuando una o varias clases en un conjunto de datos tienen una representación significativamente menor que otras clases. Esto disminuye el rendimiento del clasificador, ya que genera sesgos de clasificación hacia la clase mayoritaria. Los datos de microarreglos son ampliamente utilizados para analizar y comprender la expresión genética en un nivel global. Estos proporcionan información sobre la expresión de miles de genes simultáneamente y pueden utilizarse para clasificar diferentes condiciones o enfermedades. Ese tipo de datos presentan tanto maldición de la dimensionalidad como desbalanceo de clases, por lo que su clasificación es compleja.
En este trabajo se presenta un método para dividir la clase mayoritaria dos o más clases por medio del algoritmo de agrupamiento k-means en conjuntos de datos de microarreglos. Se lleva a cabo la clasificación usando una variedad de algoritmos de clasificación en el estado del arte. Se reporta que el método propuesto supera el desempeño de clasificación de los métodos clásicos, tomando en consideración el balanced accuracy y un 5-fold cross-validation. Tras realizar la prueba estadística de Mann-Whitney se determinó que la propuesta obtiene resultados significativamente mejores que cuando se usan los algoritmos clásicos.

Published: July 2024

This research aims to study the design of the ecological corridor management pattern of Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS) through the identification of population and distribution of conservation species, edge effect of road access within the corridor, preservation mitigation, status of non-conservation species, and assessment of land-use-based ecotourism. The methods used include Belt transect, hypothetical transect, Intensive Point Account (IPA), and descriptive survey techniques. The research was conducted from September to December 2023. The results showed that the population density of Javan Gibbon was 0.114 indv/ha, Surili was 0.024 indv/ha, which is very low compared to the population density of TNGHS, 26 non-conservation bird species, and 1 endemic species, the Javan Gibbon. The edge effect is caused by the frequency of vehicles passing through the corridor. The hypothetical transect shows that the land use allocation for tea plantations is the target of ecotourism, and agricultural land use supports the product. The model design emphasizes the creation of protection zones for primates and Javan Eagles in terms of mobilization and migration, mitigation of vehicle crossings during the day, as well as the initiation of ecotourism based on non-conservation species and landscape characteristics. In conclusion, the ecological corridor management modeling includes accommodating the protection of endemic and rare animals, monitoring non-conservation bird species, conservation mitigation through vehicle frequency control, limited ecotourism development with a natural orientation, and agricultural products. Scientifically the contribution of this research is to explain the implications of island geography theory in the sustainability of endemic species in metapopulations to avoid genetic flow deviations.

Published: July 2024

Resumo: A incidência do carcinoma espinocelular de cabeça e pescoço relacionado ao papilomavírus
humano (HPV) tem aumentado nos últimos anos, mas embora sejam conhecidos os mecanismos pelos
quais o vírus atua no desenvolvimento das neoplasias orais, sua atuação na carcinogênese oral ainda não
foi claramente estabelecida. O carcinoma de células escamosas bucal é o tipo histológico mais frequente,
possuindo uma etiologia multifatorial, o qual sua causa envolve fatores intrínsecos, relacionados a
alterações moleculares e celulares, e fatores extrínsecos tais como tabagismo, etilismo e, ultimamente
associado à infecção pelo vírus do HPV. Objetivo: Verificar a correlação entre a ação carcinogênica do
vírus HPV na cavidade oral. Metodologia: Foi realizado buscas bibliograficas nas bases de dados
Pubmed, SciELO e BVS (Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde) através dos descritores: “Papillomavírus humano”,
“Câncer Bucal” e “Fatores de Risco” na língua portuguesa e os mesmos correspondendo em inglês
“Humano Papilloma Vírus”, “Mouth Câncer” e “Risk Factores”. Os critérios de inclusão incluem artigos
em portugues e inglês que tivessem aspectos sobre a temática principal do trabalho dentro do período de
2016 a 2024, sendo excluídos cartas ao autor, artigos que não apresentavam textos completos e artigos
que não abordavam a temática principal do trabalho. Resultados: Foram encontrados 352 artigos em
português e inglês pesquisados nas bases de dados selecionadas, mas apenas 15 artigos foram utilizados.
Discussão: Nos estudos analisados, o HPV tipo 16 e 18 ( alto risco) é o mais encontrado nas lesões
buscais especificamente na língua, em pacientes do sexo masculino e jovens adultos com histórico de
fumo e álcool. Conclusão: São necessários estudos que permitam considerar que especificamente os
tipos 16 e 18 do HPV como agente causador desta malignidade pois,na literatura a presença de vários
carcinogênicos atuando e concomitantemente a fatores de risco associados impede a conclusão precisa
no desenvolvimento desta patologia.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Relative age effect (RAE) in sport is extensively described in the literature. However, there is scarcity of data on how to avoid problems in the talent identification process and, consequently, how to avoid dropping out or losing a potential volleyball talent. The aim of the study was to carry out a retrospective analysis of RAE at Men’s U-19 and U-21 World Championships as well as Men’s World Championships over the last 12 years and to investigate possible differences in quarterly age distribution depending on anthropometric features, geographical regions the teams under study came from as well as their performance (results) at the championships. Material and Methods: The analysis was based on volleyball players (n = 3,887) participating in Men’s U-19 and U-21 World Championships as well as Men’s World Championships over the last 12 years (2010–2022). Results: It was noted that RAE differed depending on age category, body height, geographical region of origin as well as the place taken during the championships. Conclusions: The findings indicate that there is a need to better understand RAE in order to avoid losing young volleyball players, which could contribute to the development of volleyball in the world.
Understanding Thai Tourists' Meaning-Making of Attachment to Japan
Authors: Proyrungroj Raweewan
Published: July 2024

This study investigated how Thai tourists interpret their attachment to Japan using a qualitative approach. Employing a four-dimensional framework, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 frequent Thai visitors to Japan. The narratives revealed all four dimensions of place attachment: place identity, place dependence, place social bonding, and place affect. Japan emerged as a unique destination offering irreplaceable travel experiences. Place dependence was most significant in fostering attachment, while place affect was an accumulation of the other three dimensions. The study found that attachment resulted from a combination of diverse factors rather than a single cause. It underscores the role of place attachment in promoting repeat visits and destination loyalty, providing insights to enhance Japan's tourism appeal. However, the reliance on qualitative methods limits generalizability. Future research should explore attachment in non-visitors, the longevity of attachment, and factors reducing attachment to a place.
HOW AI CAN REDUCE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AMONG VULNERABLE POPULATION OF NEW IMMIGRANTS: ASSIMILATION ISSUES RESOLVED WITH AI
Authors: Sydoruk Tetiana
Published: July 2024

The relevance of this study is to examine the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the assimilation of vulnerable immigrant groups, in particular, in facilitating their integration into labour markets of new countries and reducing unemployment. The purpose of the article is to identify opportunities and mechanisms for using AI to support immigrants' adaptation, as well as to analyse policies and programmes aimed at attracting and developing immigrant talent in the field of AI. The study uses general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalisation to evaluate available information, statistics and practical examples. The results of the study demonstrate that artificial intelligence has significant potential to support the assimilation of vulnerable categories of immigrants, facilitate their integration into new socio-economic conditions and reduce unemployment among them. Through the use of innovative AI tools and technologies, immigrants can access personalised educational resources, labour market information, and cultural nuances, which will greatly facilitate their adaptation. An analysis of the impact of AI on immigrant assimilation has shown the effectiveness of online courses, mentoring programmes, and specialised training modules in providing the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully enter the labour market of a new country. In particular, advanced training and retraining programmes available through AI platforms have proven to be highly effective in providing immigrants with relevant competencies and facilitating their professional development. Particular attention was paid to the US policy aimed at attracting and supporting skilled immigrants in the field of AI. The paper shows that the active use of AI in the process of immigrants' adaptation facilitates their rapid integration into the new society and plays a crucial role in reducing the unemployment rate among this group. The practical significance of the publication is to provide recommendations for the development of effective strategies for using AI in the process of immigrant integration.

Authors: Telebenieva Yeva
Published: July 2024

This article focuses on the future development and innovative uses of AI in marketing and public relations. The purpose of the article is to systematise information on new approaches to marketing and PR that use artificial intelligence. Research methods include analysis of market trends, data synthesis and case studies. The findings highlight that artificial intelligence is playing a central role in the evolution of marketing and public relations, significantly improving the efficiency of data processing, brand positioning and personalisation of communication. The study examines the contribution of tools such as Jasper and ChatGPT to marketing copywriting and content planning, as well as Frace and Fireflies to monitoring the emotional tone of brands on social media and automating meetings. Such tools as Deepl and Grammarly are highlighted to ensure translation and proofreading accuracy, as well as the use of Midjourney for creative visualisation. The analysis of the market for the use of AI in marketing indicates that the AI market in marketing and PR could reach 107.57 billion USD by 2028. However, 37% of companies are still not ready to fully implement AI due to a lack of skilled skills and resources, which highlights the need for educational initiatives to improve professional competence. The document points to the potential for revolutionary changes in the way businesses do business, including increased efficiency, security and adaptation to consumer preferences, with a focus on strategic understanding and adaptation to changing market conditions. The practical significance of the study is to provide businesses with recommendations on the effective use of AI, which can increase the competitiveness of companies. The scientific novelty of this study lies in a comprehensive analysis of the impact of artificial intelligence on various aspects of marketing and public relations, as well as in identifying the potential of automation and personalisation in customer interaction. The main barriers to the full implementation of AI in business processes are identified and strategies to overcome them are developed. Based on the research, recommendations will be formulated for the further development of innovative technologies in marketing and PR, with a focus on educational initiatives that can significantly increase the level of professional qualification in this field.
CREDIT DERIVATIVES: TRADING PROTECTION
Authors: Burianov Valentyn , Kulish Ganna
Published: July 2024

The article describes the main forms of credit derivatives, the evolution of their development and conditions of use. Particular attention is paid to the conditions of protection against credit risk. The authors demonstrate the possibility and expediency of using credit derivatives in the financial practice of Ukrainian companies in the context of transformation of the current legislation. It is established that credit notes, as a form of credit derivatives, are a more reliable financial instrument. From an economic point of view, they are considered to be securities with a certain set of risks and benefits for investors, which should be taken into account when developing a financial strategy for all capital market participants. The subject of the study is the intricacies of using credit derivatives in financial management, with a special emphasis on their role and conditions in modern Ukrainian financial practice. The research methodology includes a critical review of the existing literature combined with an analysis of the current use of credit derivatives in Ukraine. This approach offers a dual perspective that not only summarises the global context but also takes into account the nuances of local implementation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of credit derivatives as financial instruments for risk hedging and profitability optimisation. By examining different types of these instruments, the study aims to draw practical conclusions and provide recommendations for integrating these instruments into financial management practices in Ukraine. The research concludes that credit derivatives offer significant advantages as reliable financial instruments that contribute to risk management and economic development. The paper highlights their potential to positively impact financial market development, especially under conditions that facilitate risk hedging. The findings of the publication support the creation of a specific legislative and regulatory framework that would facilitate the wider introduction and efficient use of credit derivatives in Ukraine. This includes emphasising the need for specific amendments to existing tax codes and financial regulations to create a favourable environment for these instruments.
Examining the effect of maintenance work on employees’ physical and mental health, as well as their overall well-being, in industrial settings
Authors: Ahiamadu Jonathan Okirie
Published: July 2024

This study examines the impact of maintenance work on the physical, mental health, and overall well-being (PMHOW) of employees in some industry types in South Eastern Nigeria. The research aims to enhance occupational health standards and support interventions for industrial maintenance workers. It identifies the stressors that maintenance workers face (physical work demands, high-pressure work environment, shift work and irregular work hours, lack of recognition and support, exposure to hazardous conditions, job complexity and technical challenges, and; monotony and repetitive tasks), these stressors affect employees’ health and well-being through musculoskeletal disorders, mental fatigue, increased risk of accidents, stress, anxiety, and burnout to mention but a few, it proposes strategies for mitigating them which include ergonomic practices, realistic workloads, supportive work culture, adequate staffing etc. Employee Satisfaction Survey was conducted across targeted industries. Based on survey results, employees' perceptions of variances in work characteristics reveal a mix of stable and fluctuating trends. This information helped identify which work characteristics were consistently experienced and which ones vary significantly among employees. Euclidean Distance assessment carried out also aided in identifying areas of intervention by focusing on specific groups of related work characteristics to enhance the work environment and promote better health outcomes.

Osteogenesis imperfecta is colloquially known as brittle bone disease because it is an inherited disease characterized by a connective tissue disorder that causes decreased bone mass, increased bone fragility and abnormalities in skeletal structure. This disease is caused by a mutation in the type I collagen genes, specifically COL1A1 and COL1A2, resulting in a variety of clinical manifestations ranging from mild to lethal. The impact on the quality of life of patients with OI can be complicated, which is why they need multidisciplinary management strategies including orthopedic care, physical therapy, pain management and surgical interventions.

In today's highly competitive and rapidly evolving business environment, optimizing supply chain management (SCM) has become a critical imperative for organizations aiming to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction. SAP S/4HANA, a next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite, offers a comprehensive and integrated platform for streamlining and modernizing SCM processes. This review explores the strategic business models and solutions facilitated by SAP S/4HANA, focusing on its impact on various facets of supply chain operations, including procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and inventory management. The implementation of SAP S/4HANA enables organizations to leverage advanced analytics, real-time data processing, and intelligent automation to optimize supply chain functions. By providing a unified view of supply chain activities, SAP S/4HANA enhances visibility, enabling proactive decision-making and fostering a more responsive and agile supply chain. Key features such as predictive analytics and machine learning algorithms facilitate demand forecasting and inventory optimization, reducing the risk of stockouts and overstock situations. Furthermore, SAP S/4HANA supports the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, allowing for real-time monitoring of assets and operations. This connectivity enhances the ability to manage logistics and transportation more efficiently, reducing lead times and improving delivery performance. The platform's ability to harmonize data from various sources also aids in supplier collaboration, ensuring better alignment with suppliers' capabilities and enhancing the overall supply chain resilience.

The Bio-Circular Green Economy Model introduced by Thailand aims to create a sustainable, inclusive society, economy and environment, through application of science, technology and innovation, using Thailand’s comparative advantage in biological and cultural diversity into competitive advantage. The importance of BCG model encompasses every country that aims to thrive through a culture of equity, inclusion and sustainability. India being one such country which does have a comparative advantage of cultural and environmental diversity, there lies need to promote equity, inclusion, innovation, economic and cultural responsiveness in its society. Educational scenario in India had showcased teachers as entities who tend to control the students and pour knowledge into them. The primary goal of every teaching learning process is maximum outcome of learning which includes behaviour modification, and therefore the maxims of teaching are the general principles which guides every teacher to manage their classroom effectively, with maximum participation of learners, invocation of sustainability and inclusiveness, as well as self-motivated learning taking place. An effective teacher is a facilitator, who uses the maxims to maximize the learning outcome keeping the outcome in congruence with the BCG Model. National Education Policy 2020 has laid down various pedagogical strategies that suits the logic of the curriculum structure. The logic is based on psychological aspects of growth and development. Hence, this study aims at seeking a relation between BCG Model and logic of Curriculum Instruction to intensify the learning outcome through application of Maxims of Teaching within the classroom by adopting thematic analysis.

Gastrointestinal lithobezoar is a rare condition in which there is the formation of foreign body concretions in the gastrointestinal tract, and such type of patients usually present with the signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction. We present a rare case of 6 years old female patient incidentally diagnosed with massive gastrointestinal lithobezoar. Colonic lithobezoar usually occurs in the condition called Pica in which there is iron deficiency anemia. Rare number of such cases have been reported till date and such type of patients should be managed conservatively until and unless there is any compelling indication for exploration. All such type of patients should be managed in hospital with kleen enema, parenteral fluids and laxatives and need hematological and psychiatric consultation. In our case as well, the patient was managed conservatively with kleen enema, parenteral fluids and laxatives leading to significant improvement both clinically and radiologically.
Energy management of greenhouses in micro grids: A case study
Authors: Abdolreza Mehin Ghaffari Nia
Published: July 2024

The nexus of population growth, constrained access to agricultural land, and enhanced living standards has necessitated the expansion of commercial greenhouses. These controlled environments are vital for shielding produce from unpredictable weather patterns and ensuring the availability of high-quality fresh produce throughout the year. Greenhouses maintain precise control over key parameters such as indoor temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, and lighting, which are pivotal for optimal plant growth and product quality. However, the stringent control of these variables often results in substantial energy consumption, posing significant environmental and economic challenges. This research explores optimizing the internal environment of greenhouses while curbing energy usage, thereby mitigating potential environmental impacts. By focusing on grid-connected modes of operation, this study addresses the unique challenges posed by limited access to local energy resources. It explores the integration of microgrids, renewable energy sources, and combined heat and power systems to maintain operational efficacy and sustainability.
