Authors: Anggraeni Mesfari Dwi , Riyono Ahdi , Rusiana Rusiana
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to identify the codes used, the types, and the reasons of the use of code switching found in the conversational expression in You and Insecurities novel by Ayya. The researcher analyzed the types of code switching using the theory proposed by Poplack (1980) and the reasons of code switching based on the Hoffmann’s (1991) theory. The findings showed that the characters employed three languages in the conversations, those are Indonesian, English, and Sundanese. The most frequent types of code switching found is inter-sentential switching. It can be seen that the characters in the novel have good English skill because they have the ability to intentionally switch the language from Indonesian to English and vice versa. The most frequent reasons of code switching found is talking about particular topic. The characters employed code switching in their conversation to talk or discuss a certain topic because they feel free and comfortable to express their feelings and to make the communication easy to understand. By analyzing the codes, the types, and the reasons of code switching found in You and Insecurities novel using sociolinguistics theories, the researcher realized that a sociolinguistics approach can reveal how language in a novel reflects different social groups, the dialects and languages used by the characters, and how the social and cultural context influences the narrative. The communication style of urban people of Jakarta, in particular of the young executive group identity, is reflected in the studied novel that is You and Insecurities by Ayya.

Concise review of the brown algal genus Padina (Dictyotaceae): knowledge in biodiversity, biogeography, potential and scope future research for Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Linh Manh , Akita Shingo , Cao Luong Van , Nguyen Anh Thi Mai , Pham Quang Van , Vu Hung Manh , Nguyen The Duc , Nguyen Vy Xuan , Nguyen Quan Van , Vieira Christophe
Published: December 2024

The review critically examines the brown algal genus Padina (family Dictyotaceae), emphasizing its biodiversity, distribution, and potential applications, particularly in Vietnam. Globally, Padina species inhabit tropical and temperate coastal ecosystems, playing crucial ecological roles in primary production and as habitats for marine organisms. In Vietnam, nine species of Padina have been documented, yet their taxonomic diversity and applications remain underexplored. This synthesis highlights the morphological traits, ecological significance, and geographic distribution of Padina in Vietnam, with a focus on its potential in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and bioremediation. Biochemical analyses reveal bioactive compounds such as terpenoids, polyphenols, and fucoidans, which demonstrate antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities. These properties underscore Padina’s potential for natural product development in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Despite this promise, research in Vietnam has predominantly centered on taxonomic and ecological aspects, with limited studies on biochemical and economic applications. The review identifies critical gaps in understanding species boundaries, phylogenetic relationships, and ecological roles. It advocates for advanced morphological and molecular studies, including molecular barcoding, to uncover cryptic diversity and resolve taxonomic ambiguities. Future research directions include exploring Padina’s reproductive biology, dispersal mechanisms, and responses to environmental stressors such as climate change. Additionally, investigations into its ecological roles, particularly as bioindicators of environmental health and agents for pollution mitigation, are essential. Addressing these gaps will enhance knowledge of Padina biodiversity and support the sustainable management and utilization of this valuable marine resource in Vietnam.

Authors: Thai Tran Huy , Rocchi Francesca , Nguyen Thi Hien , Trinh Xuan Thanh , Nguyen Quang Hung , Paoli Mathieu , Bighelli Ange , Casanova Joseph
Published: December 2024

Cyperus stoloniferus Retz. is a perennial grass-like plant widely distributed in Vietnam. The composition of essential oil isolated from rhizomes has been investigated by a combination of chromatographic (Column chromatography, Gas chromatography in combination with retention indices) and spectroscopic techniques (Mass spectrometry, 13C NMR spectroscopy). Cyperene (15.8%), cyperotundone (12.9%) and α-cyperone (11.2%) were the major components. The composition of essential oil sample from this species in Vietnam differed substantially from that previously reported in China. C. stoloniferus rhizome essential oil displayed weak antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, and yeasts.
Effects of Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation on germination, seedling growth, and abiotic stress response in waxy corn (Zea mays L.)
Authors: Garbeles Darwin , Milan Marygrace , Palmiano Dariel
Published: December 2024

Waxy corn (Zea mays L.) is an important crop in the Philippines, but its production has been hampered by various abiotic stresses, including waterlogging and salinity. This study investigates the potential of using UV-C radiation as a strategy to improve the growth performance of waxy corn under these stressful conditions. The study utilized a completely randomized design to evaluate the effects of different durations of 254 nm UV-C radiation (0, 30, 60, 90, & 120 min) on the germination and early seedling growth of waxy corn. Germination parameters and seedling growth under normal, waterlogged, and saline conditions were evaluated. The results showed that moderate UV-C exposure (30–60 minutes) had a beneficial effect on waxy corn seed germination, with significantly higher germination percentages and faster times to reach 50% germination compared to the control. However, longer exposure times (90–120 minutes) had a detrimental impact on germination. For seedling growth, moderate UV-C exposure (30–60 minutes) generally had a stimulatory effect, increasing various growth parameters under normal and waterlogged conditions. Longer exposure times (90–120 minutes) resulted in values closer to or not significantly different from the control. Under saline stress, increasing UV-C exposure time had a generally positive effect on seedling growth, with the optimal duration being around 90 minutes. The findings of this study suggest that the optimal duration of UV-C exposure for enhancing waxy corn germination and seedling growth varies depending on the specific environmental conditions. Moderate UV-C exposure (30–60 minutes) can be beneficial for improving seed germination and early seedling growth under normal and waterlogged conditions, while longer exposure times (> 90 minutes) are more suitable for enhancing growth under saline stress.
Inference for two Weibull populations under joint generalized progressive type-I hybrid censoring with a simulation study and applications
Authors: Sultana Farha , Çetinkaya Çağatay , Kundu Debasis
Published: December 2024

The generalized progressive censoring scheme has been considered one of the most general
cases of censoring schemes. In this study, we consider two Weibull populations under a
jointly generalized progressive hybrid censoring scheme as a more flexible extension of the
exponential distribution. The methods presented in this paper let experimenters evaluate
life testing studies in the case of the most generalized censoring scheme based on a flexible
distribution that has increasing, constant, and decreasing failure rates. The maximum
likelihood method is used to obtain point estimates of the unknown parameters and the
corresponding approximate confidence intervals by using asymptotic theory and bootstrap
sampling. The Bayesian inferences are handled under informative and non-informative
priors. The highest posterior density credible intervals are also obtained for the Bayesian
estimations. We further obtained results with a challenging task an optimal censoring
scheme using the A-optimality, D-optimality, and F-optimality criterion to let researchers
determine the optimal censoring plan before conducting experiments or collecting data.
Following the numerical results within this paper, A-optimality and D-optimality proposed
the same scheme, while F-optimality proposed a scheme similar to them. In the last part
of the study, we provide simulation studies under different censoring plans and use a
numerical example to exemplify the theoretical outcomes. It is observed that the best
estimation performances are obtained by informative Bayesian methods.
Seal of Michael Opos, the Katepano of Iberia (1020s), from Taman
Authors:   Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciencesv, Chkhaidze Victor N.
Published: December 2024

So far, the excavations at the site of the ancient town of Taman (mediaeval Tamatarcha, or Matarcha) discovered a group of lead seals of the persons from 20 plus noble Byzantine families living in the eleventh and twelfth century. Among them there are the members of the Doukai, Komnenoi, Palaiologoi, Angeloi, Kastamonitai, Brachamioi, and others. Additionally, some of these seals uncover stable connections between eleventh-century Taman with the imperial themes, particularly in the Transcaucasia. This way, the previous finds of the seals at the ancient town of Taman include the pieces from the second quarter of the eleventh century, of Tornikios Barasbatze, the strategos of Kaloudia, and Theophylaktos Dalassenos. The new find presented in this article is a seal of Michael Opos, the katepano of Iberia. There is a parallel specimen originating from a private collection, but the title of protospatharios is not fully legible here. The chronology of this seal according to Michael’s title is no later than the 1020s. However, there still remain certain doubts about as to Michael’s, the owner of these seals, belonging to the Opoi, a family well-known in Byzantium. Although the well-known seal of Michael Opos from the Dumbarton Oaks collection shows Archangel Michael on the obverse, the two seals under present study feature St Demetrios of Thessalonike. These two seals write the family nickname as Ὠπάς (with alpha), though the seals of other family members show it with omega or omicron as: τῷ Ὠπῷ, τοῦ Ὠπου, τῷ Ὠπόν. This article also supplies information on 16 currently known rulers (katepanoi) of the theme of Iberia (1020s – 1072), supplying some amendments and variant chronologies.
“So, suppose that in this world everyone is deaf”. A co-cultural approach on deaf people communicative practices
Authors: Widjanarko Putut , Muhyiddin Andi
Published: December 2024

This study explores how deaf people, as a marginalized group, navigate their communication practices with the broader community. Therefore, co-cultural theory is used to see the complexity and nuanced communication applied by deaf people. To provide a phenomenological illustration, we conducted in-depth interviews with four deaf Indonesians to discover their lived experiences related to their communicative practices. We found that none of the participants applied aggressive approaches, but they chose communication practices within the spectrum of nonassertive assimilation, assertive accommodation, and nonassertive separation. In addition, this research also shows a shift in the preferred outcome of communication from assimilation to accommodation with age. In order to better understand the dynamics of deaf people's communication practices, we also offer suggestions for future research.
Inteligência Artificial e jornalismo: análise crítica de quadros e práticas emergentes de autorregulação, em Portugal
Authors: Pinto-Martinho Ana
Published: December 2024

Face à crescente integração da Inteligência Artificial nas redações, os jornalistas encontram-se perante um paradigma disruptivo que traz questões sobre o futuro do exercício da sua profissão e as suas competências nucleares, onde as questões éticas tomam uma importância crucial. O presente trabalho identifica e analisa de forma sistemática o enquadramento autorregulatório sobre a implementação da inteligência artificial no ecossistema mediático português. O estudo fundamenta-se nas evidências empíricas apresentadas por Becker et al (2023), que indicam que as idiossincrasias nacionais e organizacionais têm um papel importante na definição das práticas dos órgãos de comunicação social, sendo ambas responsáveis por algumas das variações observadas nos resultados do seu estudo que examinou 52 documentos de regulação do uso de Inteligência Artificial (IA) no jornalismo. Estabeleceu-se uma metodologia para identificar e analisar os documentos de autorregulação das redações, para que possa ser feito um acompanhamento futuro através da sua replicação, contribuindo para a reflexão sobre o campo de estudo.A investigação identificou padrões consistentes com tendências internacionais na regulamentação da IA em contextos jornalísticos, incluindo preocupações fundamentais com transparência, responsabilidade editorial e manutenção da integridade profissional. Simultaneamente, a análise revela características distintivas que refletem especificidades do contexto mediático português, particularmente no que respeita às especificidades dos órgãos de comunicação social. Os resultados sugerem que, embora Portugal se encontre numa fase inicial de adaptação à IA no jornalismo, existe um movimento emergente no sentido de estabelecer quadros de autorregulação.

Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar as análises dos dados produzidos para a dissertação de mestrado desenvolvida com a colaboração de seis professoras alfabetizadoras de uma escola da rede estadual de ensino localizada no município de Coari-AM. Ancorada pela pesquisa qualitativa de González Rey (2015), pauta-se na vertente pós-estruturalista e no campo dos Estudos Culturais, que permitem enquanto procedimento de análise atuar nos tensionamentos das narrativas que as professoras propuseram ao falar de suas práticas de alfabetização, os métodos de alfabetização, as estratégias pedagógicas, os recursos didáticos e a formação inicial a partir da entrevista narrativa ressignificada de Andrade (2012). Estar e atuar no campo da pesquisa foram experiências produzidas que potencializaram reflexões sobre os modos de ser e atuar como professora alfabetizadora e por elas ser afetada nesse contexto reflexivo. Como possibilidades conclusivas, destaco a importância de dialogar sobre outros saberes docentes, ressignificar a prática, vivenciar o contexto da pesquisa para descortinar outras experiências e perceber os caminhos percorridos no contexto da alfabetização que se constituíram, não apenas em outros conhecimentos/saberes, mas sobretudo em identidades outras.
Walking and cycling friendliness as proxies to retrofit active transport infrastructure
Authors: Pais Filipe , Sousa Nuno , Coutinho-Rodrigues João , Natividade-Jesus Eduardo
Published: December 2024

Active transport modes, such as walking and cycling, have been promoted by scientific studies and policymakers due to congestion-reduction and health benefits, and low environmental impact. However, adequate infrastructure is necessary for citizens to exercise their choice for those modes. This article presents a case study on the active mode infrastructural condition of a city which, as many others, privileged motorized modes in its growth during the 20th century. Using walking and cycling friendliness as evaluators of the infrastructural condition and a Geographic Information System environment as the calculational tool, an accessibility-based analysis was carried out that enables policymakers to identify the main issues affecting those modes and, most importantly, to pinpoint specific problems that are common to both modes. The methodological approach is scalable to any city size and is a decision-aid tool that can provide value mainly by identifying those common problems which can be efficiently addressed in future infrastructural improvements and maintenance actions. For the case study, common problems turn out to lay along large, distributor roads which fail to provide active travellers with adequate safety from traffic. Based on the results, a concrete intervention plan is proposed, for which a cost-benefit analysis was carried out.

Published: December 2024

Nowadays, improving the power train of an electric vehicle, particularly an electric vehicle, is one of the major research areas in the field of transportation vehicles. Due to unstable load levels, frequent braking and acceleration, the efficiency of the power train needs to be improved using the latest components and techniques. The aim of the paper is to develop an efficient power train for an electric vehicle based on the world driving cycle. In this study, the existing driving cycles were analyzed and the most optimal one was selected based on its perfor mance under different operating conditions. As a result of the obtained calculations, the optimum power of a traction motor (TEM) was selected. Based on the selected power, the corresponding model of the motor is selected and its traction characteristics are built. In the MatlabSimulink software environment the modeling of traction drive, based on the driving cycle WLTC, is performed, the blocks of the model are presented and described mathematically, the dependencies a(t), E(t) and V(S) are obtained, which confirm the adequacy of mathematical modeling. An appropriate drive is selected in comparison with other models.
The word nerussky (non-Russian) as a means of expressing value dominants in the Russian language picture of the world
Authors:   Linguistic University of Nizhny Novgorod, Makshantseva Natalia Veniaminovna
Published: December 2024

The article presents the latest results of our study of the value potential of words and expressions in the Russian language within the framework of an axiologically oriented cognitive-discursive approach. This potential is manifested in implicit evaluation that arises in the speech implementation of words that denote realities, phenomena, signs, properties, states, events, etc. that are significant for an ethnic group, society or individual in some aspect. The object of the study is to analyze the features of the expression of value dominants Russian language picture of the world in the contexts of use of the lexeme nerussky (non-Russian) according to corpus data. The research material is lexicographic interpretations of the word nerussky (non-Russian) in explanatory and special dictionaries of the Russian language, as well as contexts extracted by continuous sampling from the main and newspaper corpora as part of the Russian National Corpus.
At the first stage of the study, an analysis of the dictionary meanings of the word of interest to us is carried out, and at the next stage, using corpus data, uses are identified that have negative evaluative connotations, which contain characteristics of persons, phenomena, properties and qualities inherent in the “Russian world”. Lexicographic analysis of the word nerussky (non-Russian) revealed the following meanings of this word: in the function of the noun ʽforeignerʼ, in the function of the adjective ʽforeignʼ, These meanings do not contain evaluative semes. However, the analysis of corpus data showed that the lexeme nerussky (non-Russian) in contexts in which reference is made specifically to Russians or to Russian one, acquires a value-colored semantics ʽRussian – but incorrect, unusual, bad, incomprehensibleʼ, as something deviating from a certain standard, ideal, certain norms implicit in the idea of Russian. Also, the contexts of use
of the word nerussky (non-Russian) make it possible to diagnose those properties or qualities of the “Russian world”, the presence or excessiveness of which, from the point of view of the speaker, the manifestation of which is regarded as not corresponding in any respect to the national character.
It is concluded that in the speech implementation of the word nerussky (non-Russian), both a noun and an adjective, one can find a fairly wide range of meanings not noted in dictionaries, which express culturally significant ideas about the value dominants of the Russian language picture of the world, objectively verified in various contexts of use of the lexeme using corpus data. Such a functioning of the word nerussky (non-Russian) is fully consistent with the ancient conceptual and value opposition of one’s own – someone else’s, outlining the boundaries of “one’s own” world as opposed
to a hostile, “alien” world.

Published: December 2024

Objective – to propose, through a systematic literature review, a typology and discuss trends about the relation between solid waste management and public policies, since there was no work found with such a scope. Methodology – The research is exploratory, with a quantitative approach for bibliometric analyses, and a qualitative approach with content analysis, for adherence of the articles to the finished corpus and discussion on typology results. Results – Corpus production index analysis showed that interest on the theme keeps growing. Bibliographic coupling put into evidence an interactive connection network, in which the main works have satisfactory links with each other, both in numbers and total strength, demonstrating cooperation between theory and methodology. The theme map displayed emergent themes on “municipal solid waste management”, basic themes on “pickers” and “circular economy”, niche themes such as “environmental management” and “public policies” and motor themes, especially “waste management”, in which the relationship between the Keywords, organized by betweenness centrality, spawned the typography. Theory and methodology contributions – typology building happened with no biases, representing advancements on the knowledge basis. Social and environmental contributions – discussion on typology results evidenced trends for participation and collaboration from all social actors (pickers, cooperatives, companies, government) on solid waste management, thus embracing environmental responsibility.

Authors: Masera Mariana
Published: December 2024

Scholars of traditional and popular lyric poetry often highlight the limited pool of shared poetic resources that various authors draw upon to create their songs. Among these resources, the motif stands out for its enduring presence over the centuries. Studying these motifs and their treatments by different poetic schools reveals the exchanges between oral traditions and printed works from the 16th to the 20th century.
Metaphors Used by Male Batterers in Cases of Gender-Based Violence: A Look at Canadian and Spanish Newspapers
Authors: López-Rodríguez Irene
Published: December 2024

This article explores metaphors used by male batterers in cases of gender-based violence reported in Spanish and Canadian newspapers. It analyzes the most common metaphoric representations of female victims in episodes of gender-based violence documented in newspaper articles in Spain and Canada from 2012 to 2022. The research shows how images of objects, garbage, animals, mental impairment, and prostitution articulate discourses of gender-based violence and how the male perpetrator sees the abused woman through these lenses to dehumanize, exert, and even justify his violent actions.
Interspecies Mothering in the Anthropocene: Discourse of Transcorporeality and Matricentricity in Charlotte McConaghy’s Migrations and Barbara Kingsolver’s Flight Behaviour
Authors: V. Janane
Published: December 2024

The research paper aims to disrupt the dominant anthropocentric notions of motherhood that focuses on the multigenerational praxis of human to human relationships, and instead sheds light on the ecological motherhood, that accommodates diverse relationships between women and the more than human. This hetero-patriarchal reading challenges anthropocentric personhood and transitions towards the motherhood in anthropogenic narratives like Migrations and Flight Behaviour that perceives motherhood as multispecies inclusive and transcorporeal. The novels deal with ecological mothering that enables the mothers as well as their children- Arctic Terns in Migrations and Monarch Butterflies in Flight Behaviour, in survival and sustenance. The mothering offered by the women in the climate narratives radically debunks the process of ‘othering’ of the more than human by putting forth ‘other-mothering’ (Collins and Michaels) that promotes cohabitation and multispecies justice. The paper will further investigate the emotional and ecological praxis of motherhood amidst the anthropogenic toxification of global warming, species extinction and relocation. The Motherhood environmentalism by Dellarobia in Flight Behaviour and Franny in Migrations will be scrutinised as a call for kinship and multispecies justice.
Visual Intertextuality as a Backbone of Political Cartooning: Homogenous and Heterogeneous Visual Juxtaposition
Authors: Alqaisi Eman
Published: December 2024

This paper delves into the intricate realm of the communicative role of intertextuality within political cartoons, examining the humorous effect of satire and irony in visual intertextuality, termed here as Intervisuality. The study discerns two contrasting categories: homogeneous, which is marked by the ‘supportive and co-thematic’ relations between Source Character (SC) and Target Character (TC), whilst heterogeneous, distinguished as ‘ironic and contrastive’ relation between SC and TC. For examining these categories within the cartooning discourse, a sample of  UK cartoons related to the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was selected particularly those visually inspired by historical characters. The results reveal that these intervisual references are either identified overtly when both characters are visually present or covertly when the SC is visually unobservable but inferred from related events, or paintings. Moreover, the results highlight that UK cartoonists prefer direct heterogeneous intervisuality in their works to highlight elements of hypocrisy and deception during Johnson’s tenure.
Transformasi Orang Melayu di Sarawak, 1830-an sehingga 1963: Dari Kesedaran Kebangsaan kepada Kesedaran Politik (The Transformation of the Malays in Sarawak, 1830s to 1963: From National Consciousness to Political Consciousness)
Authors: Hui Ling Ho
Published: December 2024

This study aims to examine the transformation of consciousness among the Malays in Sarawak from the 1830s until 1963. The study is completed based on literature and archival methods, utilizing primary sources such as British documents, reports, government official publications and newspapers. Secondary sources including books and articles are also referenced. The emergence of national consciousness among the Malays in Sarawak can be traced back to the presence of local resistance movements against the representatives of the Brunei government in the 1830s and the Malays’ opposition to the Brooke administration’s policies since the 1850s. Their resistance was primarily aimed at defending ethnic interests for survival and preserving their rights as residents of Sarawak. Furthermore, the development of education has enhanced awareness among the Malay population through Malay schools and educational opportunities. Social activities, such as the establishment of organizations in Malaya in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, also spurred the formation of religious and literary organizations in Sarawak. National consciousness among the Malay population developed more rapidly following the publication of the Fajar Sarawak newspaper in the 1930s. This development subsequently led to the formation of Malay organizations to unite the Malays and safeguard their interests in Sarawak. After the Japanese occupation, the issue of Sarawak’s surrender to the British emerged, marking the beginning of political awareness and the struggle of the Malays to defend their state’s independence. Additionally, political developments and elections in Sarawak during the 1950s and early 1960s further highlighted the political consciousness that was later translated into political party movements and the subsequent struggle for Sarawak’s independence from colonial rule. Thus, it can be seen that there has been a transformation of consciousness among the Malays from national consciousness to political awareness. From the discussion, it is also evident that although the Malays are not the majority population, they played a significant role in the political development in Sarawak.
Systematic Review: The Role of E-Government and Human Resources Management In Corruption Prevention In Indonesia
Authors: Khairi Halilul , Suwandi Suwandi , Meilinda Selvi Diana
Published: December 2024

This research addresses inconsistencies in studies on E-Government’s role in preventing corruption. Maximising the role of E-Government in preventing corruption requires additional approaches, notably Human Resources Management (HRM). This research uses the PRISMA Systematic Review to examine the role of E-Government and Human Resources Management in preventing corruption in Indonesia. This research reviews results from the past 10 years, analysing 530 metadata records condensed into 20 articles indexed by Scopus and Sinta. Research results indicate that E-Government can be a powerful tool for preventing corruption but requires context-specific application. Apart from that, E-Government is one of many tools for preventing corruption; it requires supporting approaches such as the supremacy of law, accountability, economics, internet distribution, and government transparency to help the role of E-Government in preventing corruption. Indonesia has not optimised E-Government implementation due to insufficient professionalism, authority abuses, and an inadequate transparent system. A human resources management approach is needed to maximise E-Government and prevent corruption. Recommendations for further research adding other literature from the Web of Science (WoS) journal to enrich the literature and conducting quantitative testing involving large populations and samples as well as other approaches and variables in various regions in Indonesia can help confirm the role of E-Government and HRM in preventing corruption.
Perpindahan Ibu Kota Jakarta Ke Kalimantan Timur Sebagai Idea Pembangunan Nusantara: Satu Wacana Keselamatan (The Relocation of Jakarta’s Capital to East Kalimantan as a Nusantara Development Idealism: A Security Discourse)
Authors: Mat Bakri , Roslam Aini Fatihah , Abd Rahman Muhamad Azwan
Published: December 2024

The relocation of Indonesia’s capital from Jakarta to Nusantara (IKN) in East Kalimantan presents a compelling intellectual puzzle, raising significant implications. A primary concern revolves around the impact on neighbouring Malaysia’s border security and economic development, particularly Sabah and Sarawak. Considering the longue durée perspective, the historical relationship between Malaysian and Indonesian socio-infrastructural ties has been robust, often interwoven with narratives of Nusantara civilisation within global leadership. However, research examining the influence of Indonesia’s governmental shift on Malaysian perceptions of border security and threats, mainly through a human security lens, remains limited. This study, therefore, argues that the IKN relocation reflects the Indonesian government’s developmental idealism, framed within a discourse of security. Accordingly, border security and development in Sabah and Sarawak are analysed through the prism of human security. Methodology encompasses primary and secondary sources, accessed through print and digital media and fieldwork observation. This approach yielded several key findings, including the expectation that the capital relocation will significantly impact income distribution, employment, regional development potential, environmental sustainability, border security, and human security. Furthermore, IKN can be interpreted as a governmental strategy to address Jakarta’s numerous constraints. The selection of East Kalimantan is also strongly influenced by the government’s developmental idealism regarding Nusantara, leveraging its strategic geographical position to promote multifaceted developmental partnerships oriented towards long-term national identity. Nevertheless, concerns remain regarding transnational crime, including human and goods trafficking and developmental imbalances. The synthesis recommends a critical enhancement of Malaysian Indonesian partnerships to mitigate negative implications while fostering a shared vision for the capital’s relocation.

В статье на основе анализа материала тонких листовидных бифасиальных наконечников — наиболее требовательных к качеству камня и сложных в исполнении изделий — реконструируются сырьевые и адаптационные стратегии, характерные для населения Алтая ранних этапов верхнего палеолита. Минеральное сырье и его использование анализируются с учетом условий разных ресурсных баз центральной (долина р. Урсул) и северо-западной (долина р. Ануй) частей региона. Для атрибуции сырья бифасов и его источников впервые была создана сравнительная база петрографических и петрохимических характеристик артефактов и галечников ближайших рек; выработаны критерии для дифференциальной диагностики пород, в т.ч. трудноразличимых; применены неразрушающие методы определения химического состава сырья с помощью портативного РФА-спектрометра. Результаты исследования показывают, что в бассейнах Ануя и Урсула источники каменного материала удовлетворяли потребность в сырье для бифасиального производства. Орудия со стоянок в долине Урсула изготавливались в основном из местного тонкозернистого сырья — вулканических туфов кислого состава и игнимбритов, бифасы со стоянок на Ануе — также из местных пород, но обладающих более низкими потребительскими характеристиками, — измененных (метаосадочных) алевролитов и мелкозернистых песчаников или кислых эффузивов. В долине Ануя нехватка сырья требуемого качества компенсировалась материалом, отбор которого был трудоемким, а также импортными высококремнистыми породами. Результаты исследования позволяют сделать вывод о том, что ранние верхнепалеолитические обитатели региона при воплощении в жизнь сложных технологических решений проявляли устойчивость поведенческих и производственных стереотипов, несмотря на изменяющиеся условия обитания и ухудшение качества ресурсной базы.

According to the facial feedback hypothesis, disruption of the afferent connection from the facial muscles, which is a consequence of facial nerve damage, can reduce the emotional response or decrease its intensity, which is also confirmed by studies of patients who received botulinum toxin injections. The results of studies of emotion recognition in patients with facial nerve damage are contradictory and do not take into account other factors that may affect the recognition process. The aim of this study is to identify the features of emotion recognition by faces and the severity of emotional maladaptation symptoms in patients with facial nerve impairment. The study sample consisted of a control group of healthy respondents (N = 37) and a main group - 30 patients with facial nerve damage (neuropathy, hemifacial spasm, 80% of them with severity of damage of III-VI degree). To assess the severity of emotional maladjustment, the following scales were used: A. Leary's Fear of Negative Evaluation, A. Beck's Depression, and Situational Dissatisfaction with One's Appearance (SIBID); to assess the ability to understand and recognize emotions, the Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and N.S. Kurek's Method of Recognizing Emotions by Facial Expressions were used. Compared with the control group, patients with facial nerve damage had higher rates of alexithymia and were also worse at recognizing high intensity contempt. Compared with the control group, they had significantly higher rates of social anxiety (fear of negative evaluation) and depression. The obtained results allow us to draw preliminary conclusions that patients with facial nerve damage have a reduced ability to recognize emotions, which may be associated with both a disruption of efferent connections from the facial nerve and symptoms of emotional maladaptation.

The most important factors in the psychological well-being and academic motivation of schoolchildren from the point of view of self-determination theory include the satisfaction of their basic psychological needs. The purpose of the study was to develop a compact questionnaire to measure the satisfaction of three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) in middle school students. The study used data from an online survey of 3,901 schoolchildren from different regions of Russia, of which 2,176 (56%) were fifth grade students and 1,725 (44%) eighth grade students. The results of CFA confirmed the expected structure of the questionnaire and demonstrated metric and scalar invariance in the age groups of fifth and eighth graders. Moderate internal consistency of the autonomy satisfaction scale and good internal consistency of other scales were demonstrated. The validity of all developed subscales was confirmed by the correlations of satisfaction and frustration of basic needs with various indicators of academic motivation and psychological well-being. These findings demonstrate that the use of a questionnaire to assess basic psychological needs satisfaction may benefit educational psychologists' efforts to enhance academic motivation and support students' well-being.

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular diseases hold a leading position in the structure of mortality in the world. Laser technologies permit to improve the outcomes of endovascular and surgical treatment of various forms of the coronary heart disease and diseases of peripheral arteries. Despite the development of technologies, laser angioplasty and endarterectomy are associated with a number of complications and often require additional intervention.
AIM: To analyze currently available data on the use of lasers in treatment of arterial pathology.
According to the results of analysis of the modern literature, the use of lasers confidently occupies its niche in endovascular treatment of acute coronary syndrome, chronic occlusions of the coronary and peripheral arteries, permits to optimize the results of stenting and balloon angioplasty. One main disadvantage of laser angioplasty is that in most cases the procedure combines with stenting and/or balloon angioplasty and requires more contrast agent and longer operation time. Large-scale studies on the open laser endarterectomy have not been conducted.
CONCLUSION: Further study of the effect of laser on an atherosclerotic plaque and vessel wall in the open endarterectomy is a promising trend that may probably reduce the incidence of perioperative complications and improve long-term results of surgical treatment of diseases of peripheral arteries.

Background. A method is presented for analytically determining the optimal distribution of cargo flows during rock mass transportation by road, factoring in the given transportation distance. The key parameter for optimization is transport work, defined as the product of the volume of the rock mass and the transportation distance. This method involves exploring various cargo flow scenarios when developing wedge-shaped blocks, determining the transport work and optimizing it based on well-known mathematical methods. For this purpose, the extremum of the function is determined. As an alternative (additional), you can use the graphical method.
Aim. Reduce transportation costs for rock mass removal by optimizing road transport cargo flows.
Methods. Analytical methods, mathematical approaches to finding the extremum, methods of mathematical statistics.
Results. A methodology was developed to optimize rock mass cargo flows during the fan-shaped development of a field.
Conclusion. This study provides a foundation for determining the optimal distribution of rock cargo flows in fan-shaped field development. The proposed optimization technique can be used in other development systems with multiple transportation routes from one ledge.
