Published: February 2024

El potencial que las nuevas tecnologías informáticas proporcionan al docente universitario y este a la sociedad a través de herramientas tecnológicas que aportan rapidez en el procesamiento de información intercambio y transformación en su devenir académico. Para los docentes de este milenio, que tienen en el avance tecnológico un aporte importante, la aplicación de estas herramientas es de mucha utilidad ya que las clases giran alrededor de estos instrumentos facilitando su desarrollo. Los usos y aplicaciones de las nuevas tecnologías se deben aprovechar para lograr un aprendizaje continuo, un aprendizaje a distancia y un aprendizaje bajo el control de quienes aprenden, con el fin de resolver retos y problemas que se dan en una sociedad menos desarrollada. Cabe destacar que todo cambio genera resistencia, el desasosiego que se tiene al querer implementar herramienta basadas en TIC, sugestionan el trabajo de los docentes que ven en él un cumulo de limitantes, llevándolos a declinar el seguir actualizándose ya que por no tener esa cultura de innovación tecnológica se ven afectados en su vida profesional. En tal virtud, este trabajo tiene la finalidad de dar a conocer el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de los docentes del sistema semipresencial de la Universidad Estatal de Milagro, fortaleciendo el uso de herramientas tecnológicas para lograr motivar al estudiante en el transcurso de las etapas de estudio.
Multiculturalism and Aspects of Intercultural education in Georgia
Authors: Bujiashvili Nino
Published: February 2024

This article will argue that an important prerequisite for the successfuldevelopment of Georgia is the harmonious coexistence ofdifferent cultural representatives, this will be possible if the interculturaleducation will be fostered. Educational systems and institutionsare socially responsible for the creation of such teachingprocess which will prepare persons to be tolerant towards peopleof different nationalities and to increase their value of differences.An intercultural education is the obligatory precondition toachieve these goals.This paper analyzes the legislative and on-the-ground situation ofintercultural education in Georgia. The main research questionsare what progress has Georgia made in this direction and what arethe main challenges?The research is partially based on secondary source analysis: articlesof various researchers, reports of different non-governmentalorganizations which work to enhance multiculturalism and interculturaleducation on Georgia, and the analysis of various books.
Problematic Issues with Hermeneutics in Law
Authors: Loria Giorgi
Published: February 2024

This paper deals with problematic understanding of legal texts. Hermeneuticapproaches are reflected in various opinions regarding the understandingand interpretation of the text. The interpretation is presentedin light of the research from both legal and philosophical sciences. Theviews of lawyers and philosophers of continental Europe as well as commonlaw systems in relation to hermeneutics are analyzed.The actuality of the issue is due to the fact that the problem discussed inthe jurisprudence is not yet solved. There is no uniform approach to theissue; the principles set out in action are not explicitly defined. There isno unified strategy. All this creates difficulties in the implementation ofpractical activities.In the presented work the establishing of principles is given special importance.Understanding the text as the main goal of Hermeneutics is setas the unity of the two processes. First of all, it is the correct understandingof the will expressed, and then the correctly perceived will be passedto whom this norm is directed to. These two processes should be harmoniouslyinterconnected so that an interpretation can be achieved with thedesired goal and the text will not add new vagueness.The article discusses subjective and objective theories of comprehensionand their positive sides as well as their shortcomings. The focus is on thegoals of Hermeneutics and the tasks that should be carried out by the textinterpreter. Hermeneutic activity is presented as a synthetic connectionof the three elements that are considered: the author of the text, the textitself, and the subjective subject.In conclusion, it is suggested that since the importance of the text in thejurisprudence is given special attention, the goal of interpretation mustmatch the goals of the law. The objectives of the law are based on socialaspirations and their will, and therefore the principles of interpretationshould be determined based on the will of the public.
The date of death of Tamar, the Georgian King of the kings
Authors: Alasania Giuli
Published: February 2024

In 1966, Silagadze, B. placed the death of Tamar in 1207 based on the data of Ibn al-Athir. In the same year, S. Kakabadze agreed with this date. A 1974 article by T. Natroshvili and G. Japaridze put the death of Tamar in 1210. The work of J. Odisheli followed this, also in 1974, which considered all earlier published research and sources, including numismatic material, and put the date as 1207. In 1975 Sh. Darchiashvili agreed with 1210 based on brief Armenian inscriptions, which were outlined in his research published in 2010. Research by G. Otkhmezuri (1981) was published in 1981 in which the scholar, using a different interpretation of the Gunia-Qala inscription, renders groundless the information of the first chronicler of Tamar as if Tamar granted the titles of Atabeg and Amirspasalar to Ivane Mkhargrdzeli simultaneously. Due to this fact, some researchers consider the year of the death of Zakaria Mkhargrdzeli (1212) or the next year (1213) as the date of the death of Tamar.
Art and Patronage: Revisiting Ottoman Poetry From the perspective of İnalcık and Andrews
Authors: UÇAK Salih
Published: February 2024

As life was shaped around the sultan and the court in the Ottoman Empire, being close to the absolute authority, the shelter of honor and prestige, was a necessity. Being honored by the sultan and having his favor was a must to be the "sultan of poets". Since the biggest compliment was to be a companion of the sultan, one had to reveal all his talent and mastery in the valley of poetry. In this context, the view "talent is subject to compliment" is important. However, it should be noted that almost every poet wanted to be the companion of the sultan, not his bookkeeper. That is, poetic concern preceded political concern. The patrimonial characteristic of Ottoman poetry was the event of tide between the poet's loss of prestige and his desire for reputation. The paradox between the poet's aesthetic concern and patrimonial patronage constituted the essential point of Diwan poetry. The artist was always tested on the fine line between art and life. A pen is the only thing remaining in the shadow of art and power. Each literary period has its unique conditions and sense of art. These conditions should be considered while evaluating a literary work or artist. By his very nature, an artist has poetic and political concerns. Any one of these concerns may be prioritized depending on the characteristics of a period. They may also vary from one artist to another. In this regard, the present study compares the evaluations of Halil İnalcık and Walter G. Andrews in their works titled Şair ve Patron [Poetry and Patron] and Şiirin Sesi, Toplumun Şarkısı [Poetry's Voice, Society's Song] respectively.

South Caucasus under the interests of the great empires (XVI-XVIII centuries)
Authors: Lekiashvili Tamriko
Published: February 2024

This article examines the great empires’ imperialist ambitions in the South Cau-casus during the 16th -18th (in particular, till the 1720s) centuries. During this period, the region was under the control of two powerful eastern countries, Per-sia and the Ottomans, which threatened the region’s stability. However, by the mid-sixteenth century, a new political landscape began to be shaped, with Mos-cow State as a third power with strategic interests in the region. Unlike Persia and the Ottomans, Russia adopted a comparatively diplomatic approach to its involve-ment in the region based on avoiding military confrontation whenever possible. Within the frames of the study, we employed the historical-comparative method, analyzed various historical facts, and conducted a systemic analysis to draw rele-vant conclusions. Our research included an examination of written sources in this period. Through this analysis, we discovered that Moscow’s primary objective during this period was to maintain its position in the Caucasus by creating its in-fluence on the individual South Caucasian governors. Our research also revealed that the Georgian kings and princes needed to understand the objectives of Rus-sia’s foreign policy despite their desire to be liberated from Persia and the Otto-mans. This lack of understanding was partially conditioned by the complexity of Russia’s regional strategic goals. Nevertheless, the common faith shared by Russia and Georgia provided a “good bait” for Russia to expand its influence in the region. In preparation for its eventual attack on the South Caucasus, Russia complied with various types of political, economic, and statistical information to ensure its success. The information was critical to the success of Russia’s imperialist ambi-tions in the South Caucasus in the 16th - early 18th centuries.
Índices de sensibilidad ambiental ante derrames de hidrocarburo en el mar, Pacífico central de Costa Rica
Authors: Galeano Juliana , Rodríguez Pedro , Cortés Jorge
Published: February 2024

Este artículo documenta la aplicación de la metodología de los índices de sensibili­dad ambiental costeros ante un derrame de hidrocarburos, propuesta por la National Oce­anic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, 2002), realizando un ajuste de los paráme­tros definidos, y así aplicarlo al área costera del Pacífico central de Costa Rica, además de hacer una aproximación y propuesta metodo­lógica para su zona de mar adentro tomando en cuenta el mar territorial, hasta las 12 mi­llas náuticas, llamándolos índices de sensibi­lidad marinos. Estos índices de sensibilidad ambiental (ISA), fueron planteados como he­rramienta para dar respuesta a derrames de hidrocarburos, debido a que todos los luga­res donde existe actividad petrolera, desde su extracción, transporte, carga y descarga en puertos y muelles, puede tener una gran probabilidad de generar un daño ambiental y socioeconómico, por escapes en las áreas de localización de las mismas, por acciden­tes, mala infraestructura o errores humanos. Específicamente para la región centro­americana, se han dado algunos vertimientos de petróleo en los últimos años, debido a que existe una manipulación del crudo, dándose un detrimento y afectación en las áreas ya mencio­nadas. Cabe resaltar, que actualmente Centro­américa carece de instrumentos consolidados para visibilizar las zonas de mayor vulnerabi­lidad ante estos accidentes, es por todo esto, que en el presente trabajo se consideró elabo­rar los ISA costeros y marinos, convirtiéndolos en una herramienta en línea, que representa la información base para el desarrollo de un plan estratégico, y con la cual se pretende facilitar la toma de decisiones urgentes ante un even­tual derrame de hidrocarburos, minimizando los impactos ambientales y socioeconómicos.

Education and Industrial Revolution 4.0: Prospects and Challenges to ASEAN Education in the Case of Philippine Education
Authors: Almazan Joefrey M.
Published: February 2024

ASEAN Education is confronted with the emerging paradigms of twenty-first century education brought about by the rapid globalization process and the dawning of the new industrial revolution popularly dubbed as “IR 4.0” (Industrial Revolution 4.0). IR 4.0 demands a new framework of education – one that readies individuals with appropriate, competent, and highly innovative skills as man-machine collaboration intensifies. Hence, there is now a shift of focus from improving industrial machines to investing more in human capital. This is the pathway ASEAN education is traversing right now. ASEAN Education aims primarily at producing highly skilled service providers who are twenty-first century ready and who will work effectively and efficiently for industries in the IR 4.0. Nevertheless, education is more than being able to stabilize and improve one’s economic standing in life. There is a more noble purpose towards which one undertakes the tedious process of learning. That is: to be fully human and transform the world. Using Paolo Freire’s Critical Pedagogy, the modalities and paradigms of twenty-first century education were critiqued in order to align with this vision. Thus, with the ongoing innovative progress in ASEAN Education, serious considerations arise: “Will the alignment of man and machine to enable new possibilities cause further alienation for humanity?”; “When real classrooms are substituted by virtual classrooms, will healthy social interaction be maintained?”; “Are the trends of the twenty-first century education truly set towards the furtherance of human depth and breadth? Keywords: criticality, education, fourth industrial revolution, globalization
The Gender-Eye Approach: Eleven Tales from KTH School of Architecture in Stockholm
Authors: Åberg-Wennerholm Malin
Published: February 2024

This is a story about listening to students, making gender norms visible, and working practically with pedagogical and societal values. It is also about how I, as the new Program Director of KTH School of Architecture in 2014, inherited “problem emails” directed to the former leadership of the school and was told “the students are not happy concerning gender equality within the school.” As an educator, I asked myself, how do women recognize themselves in the education conducted here at our school today? Part of this story is about how I, together with students, started a “Gender Equality Society” and made pamphlets that we distributed to everyone
at the KTH School of Architecture workplace. This work went on to the publication of the booklet “Enough is Enough” on architecture and gender equality, which currently serves as our statement of aims. Everything is about developing a Gender-Eye Approach in education.
TAKING PLACE 8: INTERSTITIAL BREAKFAST Making Space for Questions about Architecture and Feminism
Authors: Hoskyns Teresa , Thomas Katie Lloyd
Published: February 2024

In November 2001, exactly 15 years before the Architecture & Feminisms conference in Stockholm, the feminist spatial practice group taking place had organized ‘taking place 2’ at the University of North London. We invited 100 guests – mostly women - to the architecture school and brought domestic ‘supporting’ activities into the front-of-house and spaces of presentation. We started the day with a shared breakfast.
The themes of Architecture & Feminisms remain central to the work each of us continue to do, and many of the group who had been involved with taking place 2 were already making individual contributions to the conference. We used the opportunity to re-visit our conversations and to extend them to others at this new event. We asked conference delegates, ‘What are the relevant questions for architecture and feminism today?’ On the second morning, before paper sessions began, we gathered together with delegates over breakfast to discuss their questions, recording comments on tablecloths as we talked and ate.
Parlour: The First Five Years

Published: February 2024

Parlour: women, equity, architecture is a group whose name derives from a rather subversive feminist take on the 'parlour' as the room in a house traditionally used for receiving and conversing with visitors. In its first five years, Parlour has grown from a scholarly research project into an activist group with an international reach, but a localised approach to working through issues of equity and diversity in architecture. This paper is a lightly edited version of a keynote 'lecture' given jointly by four of the key members of the Parlour collective.

Authors: Ivanova Natalia Evgenievna
Published: February 2024

This article considers the ways of international students recruiting in Russian universities using as an example the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia named after Patrice Lumumba. As a leading university in the fields of working with international students RUDN University uses a variety of ways to attract students from Europe and Latin America. The aim of the work is to identify commonalities and differences in working with international students from Europe and Latin America, taking into account the peculiarities, level of economic and social development of the regions, their native languages and planned field of studies among applicants. The methodology used in the article is a comparative analysis of the methods of recruiting European and Latin American citizens to study at the RUDN University. In addition, the comparison uses the real practice of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia named after Patrice Lumumba in recruiting international citizens from Europe and Latin America. The results of consideration show the effectiveness of the RUDN University methods used in the recruiting of European and Latin American students, as well as usefulness in their further implementation. The novelty lies in the comparison of the methods of international applicants recruiting from two regions – Europe and Latin America – for studies to RUDN University. The author concludes that it is advisable to operate Russian language centers, profile classes, resource centers, hold Open Olympiads to recruit talented young people to study at the RUDN University. It is also possible to continue working with recruiting companies and participation in international fairs. The possibility of introducing existing practices not only into the Russian, but also into the global educational space is being considered.
Enhanced architecture and implementation of spectrum shaping codes
Authors: Wang Bingrui , Xie Zhaopeng , Zhang Xingang
Published: February 2024

Spectral shaping codes are modulation codes widely used in communication and data storage systems. This research enhances the algorithms employed in constructing spectral shaping codes for hardware implementation. We present a parallel scrambling calculation with a time complexity of O(1). Second, in the minimum accumulated signal power (MASP) module, the sine-cosine accumulation needs to be determined by remainder with time complexity O(n2). We offer reduced MASP computations for short bit-width data, ROM storage, and addition pipelines. It can remove the remainder operation, reducing accumulated complexity to O(1). In addition, we present a search algorithm to generate segmented lines to replace the square operations in the MASP module. By employing the search algorithm and shift operations, we can reduce the complexity of the square from O(n2) to O(1). The implementation results reveal that the original and proposed MASPs yield nearly identical spectrum nulls. The encoder-decoder of the spectral shaping codes with proposed approaches consumes just 6% of the hardware resources when carried out with a Spartan6 XC6SLX25.
Identifying optical microscope images of CVD-grown two-dimensional MoS2 by convolutional neural networks and transfer learning
Authors: Perkgoz Cahit
Published: February 2024

Background

In Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology, scaling down has been a key strategy to improve chip performance and reduce power losses. However, challenges such as sub-threshold leakage and gate leakage, resulting from short-channel effects, contribute to an increase in distributed static power. Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) emerge as potential solutions, serving as channel materials with steep sub-threshold swings and lower power consumption. However, the production and development of these 2-dimensional materials require some time-consuming tasks. In order to employ them in different fields, including chip technology, it is crucial to ensure that their production meets the required standards of quality and uniformity; in this context, deep learning techniques show significant potential.

Methods

This research introduces a transfer learning-based deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) flakes based on their uniformity or the occurrence of defects affecting electronic properties. Acquiring and labeling a sufficient number of microscope images for CNN training may not be realistic. To address this challenge, artificial images were generated using Fresnel equations to pre-train the CNN. Subsequently, accuracy was improved through fine-tuning with a limited set of real images.

Results

The proposed transfer learning-based CNN method significantly improved all measurement metrics with respect to the ordinary CNNs. The initial CNN, trained with limited data and without transfer learning, achieved 68% average accuracy for binary classification. Through transfer learning and artificial images, the same CNN achieved 85% average accuracy, demonstrating an average increase of approximately 17%. While this study specifically focuses on MoS2 structures, the same methodology can be extended to other 2-dimensional materials by simply incorporating their specific parameters when generating artificial images.

Two major QTLs regulating Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) value (qSPAD-7-1) and trichome density (qTric-7-2) in mungbean were identified using recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations (PMR-1×Pusa Baisakhi) on chromosome 7. Functional analysis of QTL region identified 35 candidate genes for SPAD value (16 No) and trichome (19 No) traits. The candidate genes regulating trichome density on the dorsal leaf surface of the mungbean include VRADI07G24840, VRADI07G17780, and VRADI07G15650, which encodes for ZFP6, TFs bHLH DNA-binding superfamily protein, and MYB102, respectively. Also, candidate genes having vital roles in chlorophyll biosynthesis are VRADIO7G29860, VRADIO7G29450, and VRADIO7G28520, which encodes for s-adenosyl-L-methionine, FTSHI1 protein, and CRS2-associated factor, respectively. The findings unfolded the opportunity for the development of customized genotypes having high SPAD value and high trichome density having a possible role in yield and mungbean yellow vein mosaic India virus (MYMIV) resistance in mungbean.

Yellowstone National Park thermal features regularly discharge various heavy metals and metalloids. These metals are taken up by microorganisms that often form mats in thermal springs. These microbial mats also serve as food sources for invertebrate assemblages. To examine how heavy metals move through insect food webs associated with hot springs, two sites were selected for this study. Dragon-Beowulf Hot Springs, acid-sulfate chloride springs, have a pH of 2.9, water temperatures above 70 °C, and populations of thermophilic bacterial, archaeal, and algal mats. Rabbit Creek Hot Springs, alkaline springs, have a pH of up to 9, some water temperatures in excess of 60 °C, and are populated with thermophilic and phototrophic bacterial mats. Mats in both hydrothermal systems form the trophic base and support active metal transfer to terrestrial food chains. In both types of springs, invertebrates bioaccumulated heavy metals including chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, cadmium, mercury, tin and lead, and the metalloids arsenic, selenium, and antimony resulting from consuming the algal and bacterial mat biomass. At least two orders of magnitude increase in concentrations were observed in the ephydrid shore fly Paracoenia turbida, as compared to the mats for all metals except antimony, mercury, and lead. The highest bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of 729 was observed for chromium. At the other end of the food web, the invertebrate apex predator, Cicindelidia haemorrhagica, had at least a 10-fold BAF for all metals at some location-year combinations, except with antimony. Of other taxa, high BAFs were observed with zinc for Nebria sp. (2180) and for Salda littoralis (1080). This accumulation, occurring between primary producer and primary consumer trophic levels at both springs, is biomagnified through the trophic web. These observations suggest trace metals enter the geothermal food web through the microbial mat community and are then transferred through the food chain. Also, while bioaccumulation of arsenic is uncommon, we observed five instances of increases near or exceeding 10-fold: Odontomyia sp. larvae (13.6), P. turbida (34.8), C. haemorrhagica (9.7), Rhagovelia distincta (16.3), and Ambrysus mormon (42.8).

Despite the advancements in indirect monolithic restorations, technical complications may occur during function. To overcome this issues, intraoral repair using resin composite is a practical and low-cost procedure, being able to increase the restoration’s longevity. This review aimed to evaluate the need for repair and suggest a standardized repair protocol to the main indirect restorative materials. For this, studies were surveyed from PubMed with no language or date restriction, to investigate the scientific evidence of indirect monolithic restoration repair with direct resin composite. A classification to guide clinical decisions was made based on the FDI World Dental Federation criteria about defective indirect restorations considering esthetic and functional standards, along with the patient’s view, to decide when polishing, repairing or replacing a defective restoration. Based on 38 surveyed studies, different resin composite intraoral repair protocols, that included mechanical and chemical aspects, were defined depending on the substrate considering resin-based, glass-ceramic or zirconia restorations. The presented criteria and protocols were developed to guide the clinician’s decision-making process regarding defective indirect monolithic restorations, prolonging longevity and increasing clinical success.

Glandular Odontogenic Cyst (GOC) is a rare odontogenic cyst that indicates the pluripotency of the oral epithelium due to the exhibition of glandular characteristics. It is more prevalent in the mandibular anterior region and shows a predilection in males. The cyst was first described by Padayachee and van Wyk in 1987. It has non distinct clinical and radiographic features but very characteristic histopathological features. Here, the authors report a rare case of GOC occurring in a 36-year-old male patient in the maxillary anterior region. An intraoral periapical radiograph revealed a large unilocular radiolucency from the apex of 11 to the mesial aspect of 15. The cyst was enucleated under local anaesthesia, and endodontic treatment was performed for the associated teeth. No recurrence was seen at the two-month follow-up.
