Данная научная статья посвящена обеспечению чистой питьевой водой сельскохозяйственных объектов и населения, и направлена ​​на предложение оптимального научно-технического решения. Предлагается автономная система водоснабжения, использующая солнечную энергию, очищающую и обеззараживающую воду ультрафиолетовыми лучами. Для нейтрализации подземных вод создан специальный автономный ультрафиолетовый облучатель. Его основными элементами являются электромагнитный очиститель, ультрафиолетовая лампа и паяльная панель. Для эффективного использования солнечной энергии были протестированы 3 различных режима солнечной панели в зависимости от азимута солнца и угла его положения относительно горизонта. При этом было подтверждено, что наибольшая мощность получается в этом азимутальном направлении. Для подбора оптимальной дозы ультрафиолетового облучения воду активировали колифагом МС-2 – одним из наиболее устойчивых к дезинфекции микроорганизмов. В ходе эксперимента мелодии были идентифицированы. Минимальная доза 100% нейтрализации воды от первичной обработки взвешенных частиц электромагнитным очистителем составляет 111 МБт*с/см². Доза УФ-обеззараживания сырой воды составляет 135 МВт*с/см². После внедрения модельного устройства УФ-обеззараживания последующие периодические исследования проб воды подтвердили эффективность и надежность этой автономной системы очистки подземных вод.

ETHICAL DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION OF CULTURES: ON “THE GAME OF CHILDREN” IN SCIENCE FICTION LITERATURE (USING THE EXAMPLES OF TIME AFTER NOVA, ENDER’S GAME AND KNIGHTS OF FORTY ISLANDS)
Authors: Му Д.
Published: July 2024

Данная статья посвящена анализу природы человека и этических конфликтов, осмысляемых в научно-фантастической литературе, и рассмотрению уникальной структуры и механизма «игры детей» в контексте культурной семиотики. Лю Цысинь, Орсон Кард и Сергей Лукьяненко – три известных писателя-фантаста – по совпадению обстоятельств сосредоточились на одной и той же теме – «игре детей». В статье рассмотрены три произведения – «Эпоха Сверхновой», «Игра Эндера» и «Рыцари сорока островов», на основе которых проведено сравнительное исследование описания феномена «игры детей». Образ детей в научно-фантастической литературе имеет давнюю историю и часто несет в себе рассуждения об этике и человечности. Как особый культурный феномен игра тесно связана с искусством и философией человека. Научная фантастика и игра обладают схожим духовным ядром, в связи с этим их взаимодействие создает уникальный эффект. «Игра детей» содержит различные культурные отражения: «Игра Эндера» несет в себе мормонские культурные гены, «Рыцари сорока островов» – восточные православные учения, а «Эпоха Сверхновой» – восточный колорит дополнительных мыслей о конфуцианстве и даосизме.

The article analyzes human nature and ethical conflicts in the context of ethical categories conceptualized in science fiction literature, and dissects the unique structure and mechanism of the game of children in the context of cultural semiotics. Liu Cixin, Orson Card, and Sergei Lukyanenko, three famous science fiction writers, coincidentally focus on the same theme – “the game of children”. This paper selects three works, Time after Nova, Ender’s Game and Knights of Forty Islands, and conducts a comparative study of how the phenomenon of “the game of children” is treated in them. The imagery of “children” in science fiction literature has a long history and often discourses on ethics and humanity. As a special cultural phenomenon, the game is closely related to human art and philosophy. Science fiction and games have a similar spiritual core, and their interaction produces a unique effect. It reflects different cultural aspects: Ender’s Game contains Mormon cultural genes, Knights of Forty Islands mirrors Eastern Orthodox teachings, and Time after Nova reflects the oriental flavour of complementary thoughts on Confucianism and Daoism.
THE CONCEPT OF SPIRITUAL INTERACTION BETWEEN NATURE AND MAN IN THE POETRY OF JOSEPH TRER
Authors: Скворцова О.В.
Published: July 2024

В статье предпринята попытка выявить особенности концепции духовного взаимодействия природы и человека в произведениях Иосифа Трера. Актуальность работы определяется тем, что проблема взаимоотношения природы и человека, доминирующая в поэзии современного чувашского поэта, по сей день не становилась предметом отдельного изучения. В исследовании раскрывается самобытность творческого мировоззрения Иосифа Трера, основанная на идее гармоничного сосуществования человека с природой и неразрывного единства с ней. Образ природы для поэта – особый предмет отображения человеческих переживаний, необходимый материал для философского размышления о бытии. Новизна исследования видится в выявлении в стихотворениях И. Трера истоков этнонациональной ментальности и культурных первообразов (архетипов, мотивов, символов). Материалом для исследования служат стихотворения И. Трера, имеющие в основе концептуальную структуру «природа-человек», в которых нашли свое воплощение идейные поиски поэта. Основными методами исследования являются методы целостного анализа художественного текста, сравнения, описания. Отражение духовного взаимодействия человека и природы выступает важнейшей чертой поэтики лирических произведений И. Трера, которая воссоздает логику его творческой эволюции. Мир природы понимается автором как упорядоченное целое, где человек выступает неотъемлемой его частью.

The article attempts to study the specialfeatures of the concept of spiritual interaction between nature and man in the works of Joseph Trer. The relevance of the work is determined by the fact that the problem of the relationship between nature and man, which dominates the poetry of the modern Chuvash poet, has not been researched to this day. The study reveals the originality of Joseph Trer's creative worldview, based on the idea of harmonious coexistence of man with nature and inextricable unity with it. For the poet, the image of nature is a special subject for reflecting human experiences, a necessary material for philosophical reflection on existence. The novelty of the research lies in the identification in the poems of J. Trer of the origins of ethnonational mentality and cultural prototypes (archetypes, motifs, symbols). The research material includes the poems of J. Trer, based on the conceptual structure «nature – man», in which the poet’s ideological searches were embodied. The main research methods are methods of holistic analysis of a literary text, comparison, description. The reflection of the spiritual interaction between man and nature is the most important feature of the poetics of J. Trer’s lyrical works, which recreates the logic of his creative evolution. The poet understands the natural world as a well-ordered whole, with man being its integral part.
NATURE AND MAN IN I. S. TURGENEV’S SHORT STORY SERIES “A SPORTSMAN’S SKETCHES”: CHARACTERS WITH “INTERNAL INTEGRITY”
Authors: Скуднякова Е.В.
Published: July 2024

В статье рассматривается проблема природы и человека в цикле «Записки охотника» И. С. Тургенева («Ермолай и мельничиха», «Малиновая вода», «Льгов», «Бежин луг», «Певцы», «Свидание», «Стучит!», «Лес и степь»). Подчеркивается значение философских убеждений писателя в осмыслении указанной проблемы, приводятся данные из его эпистолярного наследия. В рассказах выявляются и анализируются персонажи с «внутренней цельностью» в соответствии с типологией М. О. Гершензона. Первый тип – герои с «раздвоенной душой», второй – герои с «внутренней цельностью», которые находятся с природой в гармонии. В отечественном литературоведении концептуальный анализ персонажей с «внутренней цельностью» в «Записках охотника» И. С. Тургенева еще не становился предметом специального исследования. В работе использовались сравнительно-сопоставительный метод и метод целостного анализа художественного произведения.

The article emphasizes the problem of nature and man in the cycle of short stories “A Sportsman’s Sketches” by I. S. Turgenev (“Yermolai and the Miller’s Wife”, “Raspberry Water”, “Lgov”, “Bezhin Lea”, “Singers”, “Meeting”, “The Clatter of Wheels”, “Forest and Steppe”). The author of the article highlights the importance of I. S. Turgenev’s philosophical beliefs in understanding the topic under consideration, drawing on his epistolary heritage. Characters of the stories with “internal integrity” are identified and analyzed in accordance with the typology of M. O. Gershenzon in this article. There are two types of literary characters: “split souls” and characters with “internal integrity” who are in harmony with nature. In Russian literary criticism, the conceptual analysis of characters with “internal integrity” in I. S. Turgenev’s “A Sportsman’s Sketches” has not yet received due attention. The research employs a comparative approach and the method of holistic analysis of a work of art.
READINESS OF FUTURE DEFECTOLOGISTS TO SOLVE PROFESSIONAL PROBLEMS IN INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: PERSONAL ASPECT
Authors: Велиева С.В. , Четверикова Т.Ю.
Published: July 2024

В статье освещаются результаты изучения личностной готовности будущих дефектологов к инклюзивной практике. В результате такой готовности специалист демонстрирует принятие ценностных ориентиров инклюзии, способен к конструктивным интеракциям с ученическим, родительским, педагогическим сообществами в инклюзивной среде. Исследование проводилось методом письменного опроса студентов второго курса. Устанавливалось осознание будущими дефектологами идеи и мотивов инклюзивного образования. Выявлялось их личное отношение к инклюзии, к диссеминации инклюзивных практик. Изучались представления об основном барьере, препятствующем развитию инклюзии в сфере образования. Оценивалась готовность принимать здоровых обучающихся и их сверстников с нарушениями развития как равных, осуществлять воспитание у нормативно развивающихся детей инклюзивной культуры. Полученные результаты показали, что студенты в подавляющем большинстве декларируют приверженность инклюзивным ценностям, но недостаточно осознают цели и мотивы инклюзии. Наличие эмоционально-психологического барьера для работы в условиях инклюзивной практики выражается в том, что будущие дефектологи не готовы нести личную ответственность за развитие инклюзивных процессов. По завершении обучения в вузе свою миссию он видят преимущественно в достижении частных задач коррекционного содержания. Это требует учета при подготовке будущих дефектологов к профессиональной деятельности.

The article highlights the results of a study of the personal readiness of future defectologists for inclusive practice. As a result of such readiness, a specialist demonstrates acceptance of the value guidelines of inclusion and is capable of constructive interactions with students, parents, and teaching communities in an inclusive environment. The study was conducted using a written survey of second-year students. The awareness of future defectologists of the idea and motives of inclusive education was estimated. Personal attitudes towards inclusion and the dissemination of inclusive practices were revealed. The respondents’ awareness of the main barrier to the development of inclusion in education was estimated. The authors also assess the readiness to accept healthy students and their peers with special needs as equals and to develop an inclusive culture among normally developing children. The results showed that most students declare a commitment to inclusive values, but are not sufficiently aware of the goals and motives of inclusion. The emotional and psychological barrier to inclusive practice manifests itself in the fact that future defectologists are not ready to bear personal responsibility for the development of inclusive processes. Upon graduation, most students see their mission in solving specific correctional problems. This requires consideration when preparing future defectologists for professional activities.

Authors: Nurfalaq Dedi , Christian Michael
Published: July 2024

This research aims to assess the impact of organizational learning and leadership style on corporate performance (CP), with organizational culture acting as a moderator. The study was carried out at an Indonesian bank that is owned by the South Korean government. Therefore, this research will examine the impact of South Korean business culture, which is unfamiliar territory. This study employs a quantitative methodology. The findings of this study demonstrate that organizational learning significantly impacts business performance. Moreover, the leadership style also has an impact on the overall functioning of the company. Similar outcomes are also demonstrated in the case of organizational culture, which has an impact on corporate performance. Organizational culture plays a role in influencing organizational learning and corporate performance. Organizational culture does not have a moderating effect on the relationship between leadership style and business performance, as evidenced by many findings.

Integrating distributedenergy resources to create a microgrid will betremendously vital. The development of modern and future electricity networks, like the smart grid, is influenced by MGs because they can provide a variety of benefits to the increasingly complex and growing power system, like better power quality, increased efficiency, enhanced system integration of energy sources that are renewable and clean, and improved network stability and reliability. Microgrid implementation has difficulties controlling, operating, and protecting since integrating RES into the system is more difficult. This paper comprehensively presents the different novelties in integrating RES, control, and optimization.
Rapid Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis Using Advanced Artificial Intelligence Algorithms
Authors: Samad Abdul , Samet Aydı Enes
Published: July 2024

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia, predominantly impacting the elderly and characterized by progressive cognitive decline. Early and precise detection is critical for effective management and improved patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods such as neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis are often invasive, expensive, and time- consuming. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) provide promising alternatives that are non-invasive, efficient, and cost-effective. This study explores the application of various ML algorithms to predict Alzheimer's disease. The methodology involved data preprocessing and feature selection using the Spearman algorithm to enhance computational efficiency and model performance. We evaluated k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), Naive Bayes (NB), Decision Trees (DT), and Ensemble methods. Results indicate that the Ensemble method achieved a predictive accuracy of 94.07% using only 13 features. These results demonstrate the potential of ML algorithms in revolutionizing AD diagnostics, offering scalable and accurate solutions for early detection.
Deposit Money Bank Credit and Non-Oil Export in Nigeria
Authors: Daramola Kehinde Omolade
Published: July 2024

The non-oil sectors play a crucial role in driving in­dustrial transformation and generating foreign exchange for a nation. Therefore, the performance of this sector is influenced by the implementation of policies and programs, as well as the availability of credit facilities from deposit money banks (DMBs). This study examines the relationship between DMBs' credit and non-oil exports in Nigeria from 1986 to 2022. The data is analysed using the bounds test co-integration procedure of Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL). The results indicate that there is a significant (Prob. < 0.05) positive relationship be­tween DMBs' credit and exchange rates. Furthermore, DMBs' lending rate and inflation rate demonstrate a significant nega­tive relationship, while gross fixed capital formation shows an inverse relationship with non-oil exports in Nigeria. The cau­sality test reveals no causality between bank credit to non-oil sectors, exchange rate, and the volume of non-oil exports in Ni­geria. However, there is a unidirectional causality between gross fixed capital formation, the lending rate of banks, the in­flation rate, and non-oil exports in Nigeria. Based on these find­ings, it is recommended that both the government and the monetary authorities make concerted efforts to stabilise the macroeconomic variables and promote growth-oriented programs meant to boost the aim of enhancing the production of locally produced goods in the non-oil sectors of Nigeria. Additionally, the Central Bank of Nigeria should consider re­ducing the bank rate, as this would directly impact other rates within the country.
Alterity and Self-Understanding: Inclusion and Exclusion Strategies of Southern German Estates in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries
Authors: Müller Markus Christopher
Published: July 2024

This article analyses diversification strategies in the politics of Sigismund I as king and emperor. Three examples (Swabia, Bavaria, and Tyrol) show different aspects of this diversity. In Swabia, Sigismund attempted to mediate alliances between the knightly societies and the city federations in order to create a counterweight to the imperial princes. In Bavaria, he privileged the knighthood and thus created a dynamic that led to the formation of the land estates with their own identity. Sigismund also supported rebellious nobles in Tyrol against their prince. All interventions can be better contextualised against the backdrop of his imperial policy. At first glance, he was not successful anywhere, but the imperial privileges he granted had an impact on the conflicts between the knighthood/nobility and princes in the fifteenth century and thus diversified late medieval constitutional practice.
Religious Diversity: What or How? Towards a Praxeology of Early Modern Religious Ordering
Authors: Klymenko Iryna
Published: July 2024

Scholars of the pre-modern history of religion have increasingly sought to arrive at a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of religious diversity. Building on these advancements, this paper argues that our comprehension of this phenomenon is intricately linked to our presuppositions regarding religious groups and their boundaries. By challenging the conventional notion of groups as closed, authentic, and consistently coherent collectives, it advocates for a praxeological approach. Drawing on sociological theories and microhistorical studies, with a particular focus on early modern sources related to Jewish communities, it proposes a transition from inquiries about “what” the groups are to an examination of “how” they have been constructed in both temporal and spatial dimensions. Thus, by viewing religious groups and their ordering as dynamic and process-related, this approach aims to deepen our understanding of religious diversity in the early modern era as an analytical and empirical category.

GREEN CREDIT POLICY, CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND GREEN INNOVATION
Authors: Zhang Zhi
Published: July 2024

Human activities have an increasingly serious impact on our natural surroundings. Hence, cutting-edge sustainable technologies are essential for both governmental agencies and the corporate sector as a pivotal means to safeguard the environment. This study aims to shed light on the function that corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays in enterprises by examining the relationship between green credit policy (GCP) and green innovation (GI). This research examines a total of 5,819 panels of Chinese listed businesses’ data spanning from 2009 to 2021. The differences-in-differences (DID) model was used to assess hypotheses. The empirical results suggest that GCP has facilitated the adoption of GI by firms. GI in heavily polluting firms was elevated by 15% relative to the control group. The presence of CSR serves as a mediating and moderating factor in the relationship between GCP and the implementation of GI initiatives within firms. Lastly, based on the empirical results, relevant suggestions for optimizing GCP are proposed to achieve better environmental protection results.
PAY OR LEAVE? THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA FATIGUE AND WILLINGNESS TO PAY TO AVOID FAKE NEWS IN SOCIAL NETWORKS USE
Authors: Dinu Vasile , Pelau Corina , Lile Ramona , Boghicevici Claudia
Published: July 2024

Social media networks are a technological phenomenon that has changed the entire social environment, as many real-world activities have shifted to posts or comments on social media. However, with this development several negative aspects have been revealed, such as information overload, privacy concerns and fake news. The aim of our research is to determine the impact fake news has on social media fatigue and discontinuous behavior and whether the willingness to pay to avoid fake news impacts this relationship. The results of two mediation models show that fake news positively affects social media fatigue, but there is no direct effect on the discontinuous use of social media. However, social media fatigue partly mediates the relationship between the awareness of fake news existence and discontinuous behavior. Furthermore, social media fatigue increases the willingness to pay for quality content, but contrary to our expectations, it does not reduce discontinuous behavior. This shows that the fake news phenomenon is far more complex, with other factors affecting it. Furthermore, imposing a price to avoid fake news is not a solution as users do not necessarily see value in this, but prefer to avoid social media so as not to have to deal with social media fatigue.
IDENTIFYING STRESS AND COPING BEHAVIOR FACTORS OF ETHNIC MINORITY WORKERS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY VIA A FOCUS GROUP
Authors: Ahmed Khursheed , Leung Mei-yung , Li Yueran
Published: July 2024

The construction industry is notorious for stressful jobs, particularly for ethnic minority construction workers (EM-CWs), who experience complicated issues in the host country. Despite the high-level stress of EM-CWs compared to native construction workers, the particular coping behaviors of EM-CWs is unclear. Due to their cultural differences, religious beliefs, and possible stigma related to sharing feelings, typical stress management strategies may not be effective in relieving the stress of EM-CWs. To manage the stress of EM-CWs and also to benefit organizational productivity, it is important to identify the specific coping behaviors adopted by EM-CWs in response to stress. Therefore, this study aims to explore the stress management factors of EM-CWs. Six focus group discussions were conducted, made up of five EM-CWs groups (three general worker groups and two skilled worker groups) and one group of foremen. Contextual analysis was used to analyze the focus groups’ qualitative data. The study identified 11 items of stress for EM-CWs in two major categories: emotional and physical stress. In addition to problem-focused (i.e., planned problem-solving, seeking instrumental support, and cognitive appraisal) and emotion-focused coping behaviors (i.e., seeking emotional support, emotional discharge, and escapism), the current study also explored religious-focused coping behaviors (i.e., religious practice, service, and meditation) of EM-CWs. The findings advance coping-behavior literature by addressing important features of religious coping behaviors in the construction industry. The study explored the unique stress management factors of EM-CWs, which can be used to manage the stress of EM-CWs, improve their stress management approaches, and design various stress management programs for EM-CWs. Furthermore, several recommendations were made in initiating time management training, encouraging organizations to consider mental health needs in the construction industry, acknowledging the specific cultural context of EM-CWs, striving to reduce the stigma around sharing emotions under stress, facilitating an adequate on-site environment to practice religion, and introducing mindfulness programs to relieve EM-CW stress and improve their performance.
Investigating Asymmetry Development from SiO to H2O Maser Regions in VX Sagittarii
Authors: Yoon Dong-Hwan , Cho Se-Hyung , Yun Youngjoo , Yang Haneul , Kim Jaeheon
Published: July 2024

Simultaneous very-long-baseline interferometry monitoring observations of H2O and SiO masers toward VX Sagittarii were conducted from 2014 February to 2019 January. Thirty epochs of observations revealed that the H2O and SiO masers had asymmetric and ring-like structures, respectively. However, from 2017 September to 2018 March, the SiO maser transformed from a ring-like structure to a northeast–southwest (NE–SW) extension, and the 43.1 and 86.2 GHz SiO maser components had velocities of 39.48 and 10.65 km s−1 in the NE–SW direction, suggesting a possible localized strong shock wave. The H2O maser had a double-sided structure oriented in the NE–SW direction with near-stellar velocity components, which aligned with the extended direction of the SiO maser. The nonregular optical brightness and maser intensity variations were speculated to be related to the morphological evolution of the SiO maser. During the stable states attained by regular pulsations, the SiO maser region was presumed to experience radial acceleration, which reverted the SiO maser to a ring-like structure. However, the H2O maser region, where the acceleration almost terminates, retained its asymmetric morphology due to the prior influence of external forces. The results suggest that substantial energy transfer can alter the dynamics of the SiO maser and surrounding atmosphere, leading to an asymmetric distribution in the H2O maser region.
Evidence for a Cyclotron Absorption Line and Spectral Transition in EXO 2030+375 during the 2021 Giant Outburst
Authors: Yang Wen , Wang Wei , Epili Prahlad R.
Published: July 2024

Based on Insight-HXMT observations of EXO 2030+375 during its 2021 giant outburst, we report the analysis of pulse variations and the broadband X-ray spectrum, and find the presence of a potential cyclotron resonant scattering feature (CRSF) with the fundamental line at ∼47 keV from both average spectra and phase-resolved spectroscopy. During the outburst, the source reached an X-ray luminosity of ∼1038 erg s−1 from 2 to 105 keV at a distance of 7.1 kpc. The X-ray pulsar at the spin period of 41.27 ± 0.61 s exhibits complex timing and spectral variations with both energy and luminosity during the outburst. The shapes of the pulse profiles show the single main peak above ∼20 keV, while appearing to exhibit multipeak patterns in low-energy bands, and the transition of the 10–20 keV pulse profiles from multipeak to single peak is observed at ∼0.8 × 1038 erg s−1, which suggests the evolution from the subcritical luminosity (pencil-beam dominated) to the supercritical luminosity (fan-beam dominated) regime. A dip structure before the energy of the CRSFs is found in the pulse fraction–energy relation of EXO 2030+375 near the peak luminosity. A detailed analysis of spectral parameters showed that the power-law photon index exhibits three distinct trends as luminosity increases, and these spectral changes also signify a spectral transition from subcritical to supercritical regimes. The critical luminosity infers a magnetic field of ∼(4.8−6.0) × 1012 G, which supports the presence of the cyclotron line at ∼47 keV. A Comptonization model applied for the broad X-ray spectra during the outburst also suggests the surface magnetic field ranging from ∼(5−9) × 1012 G.

As a result of the "Arab Spring" and the transformation of the global world order, the MENA region, and the relations with North African countries therein, are on the rise both for the international and regional actors including Russia and China as well as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Iran and Turkey, respectively. Examining Turkey’s expansive foreign policy, we can also get an idea of how Ankara wishes to increase its sphere of interest in the wider region, particularly in the Eastern Mediterranean region, through supporting a North African country. In recent years, Turkey has become one of the best-known and most important global exporters of military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, in the world military equipment market. Turkish drone development and warfare has introduced many innovative military operational concepts that have achieved great success in the conflicts of recent years. The study examines how 'new types' of technologies such as UAVs can shape regional power dynamics through the case study of the Libyan civil war and drone warfare.
Geopolitics and Geostrategy of the GIUK Gap: Rising Stakes in a Strategic Sea Corridor.
Authors: Matěj Matěj
Published: July 2024

This study explores the geopolitical and geostrategic significance of the GIUK (Greenland, Iceland, United Kingdom) Gap, a region of the North Atlantic Ocean between those respective islands, part of the broader Arctic realm known as the High North. It begins with a short overview of the historical development of the GIUK Gap's geopolitical and geostrategic significance, followed by an analysis of the region's current geopolitical and geostrategic dynamics. For the analysis, Walt’s balance of threat was employed as a neorealistic theoretical framework, with four specific variables chosen. This theory assumes that states try to balance potential threats. The study highlights the growing importance of the GIUK Gap for both NATO and the Russian Federation, whose interests have increasingly clashed in recent years. The paper argues that the deteriorating relations between NATO and Russia following the annexation of Crimea in 2014 have causally contributed to the growing importance of the GIUK Gap.

Bursting is a crucial form of firing in neurons, laden with substantial information. Studying it can aid in understanding the neural coding to identify human behavioral characteristics conducted by these neurons. However, the high-dimensionality of many neuron models imposes a difficult challenge in studying the generative mechanisms of bursting. On account of the high complexity and nonlinearity characteristic of these models, it becomes nearly impossible to theoretically study and analyze them. Thus, this paper proposed to address these issues by focusing on the midbrain dopamine neurons, serving as the central neuron model for the investigation of the bursting mechanisms and bifurcation behaviors exhibited by the neuron. In this study, we considered the dimensionality reduction of a high-dimensional neuronal model and analyzed the dynamical properties of the reduced system. To begin, for the original thirteen-dimensional model, using the correlation between variables, we reduced its dimensionality and obtained a simplified three-dimensional system. Then, we discussed the changing characteristics of the number of spikes within a burst by simultaneously varying two parameters. Finally, we studied the co-dimension-2 bifurcation in the reduced system and presented the bifurcation behavior near the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation.

Published: July 2024

This paper introduced novel multidimensional Hardy-type inequalities with general kernels on time scales, extending existing results in the literature. We established generalized inequalities involving a general Hardy operator with multiple variables and kernels on arbitrary time scales. Our findings not only encompassed known results in the realm of real numbers ($ \mathbb{T=R} $), but also provided refinements and generalizations thereof. The proposed inequalities offered versatile applications in mathematical analysis and beyond, contributing to the ongoing exploration of inequalities on diverse time scales.
An interlocking system determining the configuration of rail traffic control elements to ensure safety

Published: July 2024

Railway interlocking systems are essential safety components in rail transportation, designed to prevent train collisions. They regulate the transitions between sections of a railway station using rail traffic control elements. An interlocking system can assess whether the configuration of these control elements poses a collision risk. Over the years, researchers have developed various algebraic models to tackle this issue, highlighting the potential use of computer algebra systems in implementing interlocking systems. In this work, we aim to enhance these systems' capabilities. Not only will they indicate whether a situation is dangerous, but if it is, they will also provide guidance on how to configure certain rail traffic control elements to ensure safety. In this paper, we introduce an algebraic model that represents the railway station through polynomials. This approach transforms the task of identifying dangerous situations into calculating the residue of a polynomial over a set of polynomials. The monomials contained in this residue polynomial encode all possible configurations that would render the situation safe.

La responsabilidad del escritor en la encrucijada de la modernidad estética en España
Authors: Abalo Gómez Adriana
Published: July 2024

Las siguientes páginas se dedican a una problemática que ha articulado la producción literaria de la modernidad estética en España: la responsabilidad del escritor. Se fijará teóricamente la problemática para analizar luego los factores que la activaron (autonomización del campo, desafectación política de los escritores y desarrollo de una estética antimimética) en el contexto político-literario español.
Linguistique et droit dans l’étude du Code de Gortyne, trente ans après la publication de Nomima
Authors: Bile Monique , Maffi Alberto
Published: July 2024

À l’occasion de la trentième année de la publication des deux volumes de Nomima, les deux auteurs de cet article, qui ont bien connu Henri van Effenterre, veulent souligner l’importance durable de son travail sur la Crète antique et, en particulier, sur la grande inscription qu’on appelle le Code de Gortyne (IC IV, 72). Dans la première partie (A – L’approche linguistique) Monique Bile trace d’abord rapidement un profil de la découverte de l’inscription et des premiers commentaires (en particulier de langue française) ; ensuite elle souligne, par des exemples significatifs, l’importance de poursuivre l’étude linguistique d’un texte écrit dans un dialecte qui souvent rend difficile la compréhension de son contenu. Dans la deuxième partie (B – La dimension juridique) Alberto Maffi passe en revue les contributions de van Effenterre (et occasionnellement de sa femme Micheline) aux Symposia de droit grec, et d’autres articles publiés dans Minos, le recueil de ses écrits, en essayant de préciser sa façon de concevoir la dimension juridique du texte du Code.
Polis, State and Society in the Shadow of Nomima
Authors: Ma John
Published: July 2024

Nomima could have had a transformational effect on the study of archaic Greek history, by enabling the study of institutionalization and state-formation, rather than elite competition, as characterised English-speaking work in the 1980s. That it did not quite have such an effect might be attributed to the gap between the implied importance of institutionalization and the insistence in recent scholarship on diversity, fluidity, and elite competition. In fact, H. van Effenterre and F. Ruzé themselves used the rich epigraphical material they had gathered as a way to study the early polis’ prehistory of diversity (“pre‑politeia”). In this paper, I propose an alternative approach, namely to fully centre the state in any study of the early polis, and to consider diversity as part of second-order phenomena generated by stateness and institutionalization. Cases such as the Cretan cities or Argos offer specific instances, that might be applied even to poleis where no inscribed law has been found (e.g. Aigina). The challenge is to provide an account of the polis as state that accounts for the relationship of institutions and regulation to social phenomena, and even to struggles for power.
Photographier les villes à venir : diffusion des économies urbaines et morcellement des terres au Kenya
Authors: Bon Bérénice
Published: July 2024

En Afrique sub-saharienne, l’intensité des ventes, achats et reventes de terres dans les périphéries métropolitaines est inédite. Au Kenya, sur les fronts d’urbanisation de la capitale, Nairobi, sur de très vastes espaces, la terre est morcelée en petites parcelles clôturées par des barbelés, des tranchées, de la végétation, des bouts de bois. Les transactions marchandes opérées sur ces terres ne conduisent pas toutes à des constructions sur les parcelles. Ces marchés fonciers sans construction participent à l’expansion urbaine. Ils sont moins pris en compte dans la littérature académique que l’extension du bâti et l’accès aux services dans les périphéries métropolitaines. La photographie arrête le regard sur ces parcelles laissées vides pendant plusieurs années. Les entretiens et les observations diachroniques questionnent ensuite les profils, les trajectoires et les motivations des acteurs impliqués dans les transactions marchandes des terres. Ces terres appropriées et laissées sans construction jouent un rôle central dans la création et le stockage de l’argent en lien avec la diffusion des économies urbaines.
