Analysis of interferometric configuration for optical devices
Authors: Sharma Himanshu , Kumar Arun
Published: July 2022

With the exponential growth in information related applications and the continuous increase in voice over IP (VoIP) applications, the carriers are expanding their networks to provide improved services to their end users. In such cases, the synchronous optical network/synchronous digital hierarchy model is not suitable. In this work, we are going to investigate the electro optic switch with the help of a VB script to simulate the device for various parameters. Further, we will then scan the central electrode voltages and take account of the overlap integral taking place at the output port with the help of waveguide mode. The best switching for switches at different voltages so as to have negligible coupling loss for different input signals is investigated. We aim to evaluate the MZI switches with the Li-Tn channel profile wave guiding structure and confirm their performance as compared to the existing MZI switches.

Authors: Kaur Simarpreet , Sachdeva Shippu , Sindhwani Manoj
Published: July 2022

In this work, an optical angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing enabled 400 Gbps free space optical communication (FSOC) system has been proposed using polarization division multiplexed (PDM) quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and digital signal processer (DSP) in the receiver. Different weather conditions such as clear weather, rain and fog are explored in proposed system and their deteriorating effects are observed in terms of log BER. Laguerre Gaussian (LG) beams (LG0,0, LG0,13, LG0,40, and LG0,80) are employed to realize four channel FSOC system and OAM multiplexing. Results revealed that integration of DSP in the PDM-QPSK receiver cause significant improvement in symbols placements in constellation and moreover proposed system successfully covered 3500 m, 3000 and 1200 m in FSO under clear weather, rain and fog, respectively.
The effects of wearing a mask on an exercise regimen
Authors: Gericke Ryan C. , Gupta Adarsh K.
Published: July 2022

Context

Masks have long been utilized to prevent the spread of airborne pathogens and diseases in the healthcare setting. Recently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mask use has been expanded to all public areas to help slow the spread of this virus. One such location where masks can be seen is gyms. While exercising, the needs of the body are altered due to the increased stress being placed upon it. Normal physiology is thus adjusted to meet these new demands and to maintain optimal functioning. Therefore, it is possible that adding a mask covering the mouth and nose while exercising could further exacerbate this physiologic alteration, causing potential concerns.

Objectives

The goal of this study is to identify the impact of mask use on normal perceived physiology (breathing, heart rate, temperature, exertion, stamina, and quality of workout) within the exercising population.

Methods

To obtain data focused on the research question, a self-reporting, online, anonymous Qualtrics survey was administered in local gyms and social media outlets. A total of 280 total participants were recruited between the ages of 18 and 65 who have ever exercised while wearing a mask. All results were analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, Mann–Whitney U tests, and Kruskal–Wallis tests. A Cronbach’s alpha was also calculated to check internal validity. The significance level utilized was p≤0.05.

Results

Completion of a Kruskal–Wallis test revealed statistical significance regarding the perception of masks in general and the participants’ rating of the perceived physiological parameters (breathing: p<0.001; heart rate: p<0.001; temperature: p<0.001; exertion: p<0.001; stamina: p<0.001; and quality of workout: p<0.001), the duration of time the mask was utilized during the workout, and the participants’ rating of the perceived physiological parameters (breathing: p=0.001; heart rate: p=0.020; temperature: p<0.001; exertion: p<0.001; stamina: p=0.001; quality of workout: p<0.001; and perception of mask: p<0.001), and the change in the number of days that the participants exercised per week during the pandemic as well as some of the participants’ ratings of the perceived physiological parameters (breathing: p=0.042; exertion: p=0.015; stamina: p=0.027; and quality of workout: p=0.016).

Conclusions

Any alterations to normal physiology perception while exercising with a mask appear to be psychological and adaptive in nature. Masks alone did not contribute to the perception of their physiologic changes.

Published: July 2022

Hierarchical and periodic nanostructures of dielectrics or metals are highly demanded for wide applications in optical, electrical, biological, and quantum devices. In this work, programmable plasmonic–photonic hierarchical nanostructures are fabricated using a facile and effective method with high controllability and stable reproducibility. The fabrication involves colloidal self-assembly, metal film deposition, and pulsed laser-induced dewetting in sequence for controllably pairing metal nanostructures on dielectric nanospheres in either large area or a local precision. Au nanostructures including Au nanocrown (AuNC), large Au nanosphere (AuNS), and multiple small Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been paired one-on-one on assembled SiO2 nanosphere (SiO2NS) arrays, with size and shape controlled by correlating the laser fluence and irradiation time, and the Au film thickness. The fabricated hierarchical nanostructures demonstrate synergistic effect of the photonic effects from the monolayer SiO2NS arrays and the surface plasma resonance effect from the Au nanostructures. The dewetting induced metal film reshaping has been modeled theoretically corresponding to observed experimental results. We can directly “write” the plasmonic Au nanostructures on the photonic crystal array using a focused laser beam to form encode patterns, showing angle-dependent structural colors for anti-counterfeiting information storage and display in rigid/flexible and opaque/transparent devices. It provides a promising path to actively construct on-demand pixelated plasmonic–photonic arrays for optical multiplexing technology in sensing, information encryption, and display.

Effect of gamma rays on Zn/Cu doped strontium borate glass system for dosimetric applications
Authors: Abou Hussein Eman M. , Gafar Sameh M.
Published: July 2022

Two alkali strontium borate glasses containing Cu2+ or Zn2+ ions (0.15 mol%) has been prepared by melting annealing method. Some of the glasses dosimetric measurements have been performed; they were checked by ultraviolet-visible light measurement showing the specific peaks of Cu+/Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions. Upon γ-rays, glasses are sensitive to the absorbed dose in the range 0.4–15 kGy, revealing their light absorption. A gradual decrease in optical absorbance and DC electrical conductivity was detected with progressive irradiation. While a gradual increase in optical energy bandgap (Eopt) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was observed. The presence of transition metal ion (TM) with their variable configurations helps to trap the radiolytic electrons or holes during the color center recovery rates. UV–Vis and EPR dosimetric characteristics have high color stability with excellent short and long-term stability revealing their possible use as glass dosimeters in medical sterilization and food irradiation processing.
On the nonlinear relationships between shadow economy and the three pillars of sustainable development: new evidence from panel threshold analysis
Authors: Saafi Sami , Nouira Ridha , Assidi Nadia
Published: July 2022

Most previous studies that examined the relationship between the size of shadow economy and the pillars of sustainable development maintained that this relationship is linear. This paper provides an empirical contribution to the literature by arguing that this relationship is likely to be nonlinear, and it might be subject to threshold effects. For this purpose, in addition to the static threshold panel model of Hansen (1999. “Threshold Effects in Non-dynamic Panels: Estimation, Testing, and Inference.” Journal of Econometrics 93 (2): 345–68), the dynamic panel threshold model suggested by Seo and Shin (2016. “Dynamic Panels with Threshold Effect and Endogeneity.” Journal of Econometrics 195 (2): 169–86) has been applied to a larger panel-data set covering 83 developed and developing countries over the 1996–2017 period. Empirical results from both models yield evidence advocating the existence of threshold effects of the shadow economy on the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development for the global sample as well as the sub-samples of developed and developing countries. Moreover, for the global sample and developing countries, our findings show that shadow economy would spoil the three sustainable development pillars only when its size exceeds a certain threshold critical size. While, the impact for developed countries was found negative even for low levels of underground activities. These finding are shown to be robust to alternative proxies for the size of the shadow economy and have important policy implications, especially for developing countries. In these countries, a moderate size of the shadow economy might have positive spillovers on long-term growth and sustainable development. Our research also suggests that, for developing and developed countries to achieve sustainable goal 8.3, the extent of the shadow activities should be taken into account.

Despite numerous remarkable developments in clinical therapy, the world remains firmly in the grip of fungal infections. While conventional approaches to antifungal therapy are failing, dermatophytes continue to affect people’s daily lives, especially in humid and tropical areas, and pose a major medical problem. Cubosomes, the liquid crystalline nanostructures, are among the recently developed lipid nanoparticles that could potentially overcome the hurdles of conventional therapy. In the present study, cubosomes containing luliconazole, an antifungal drug, were formulated to overcome the limitation of poor water solubility and poor bioavailability of the drug for the main purpose of treating fungal infections. Various formulations of luliconazole loaded cubosomes were prepared with different ratios of lipid (glyceryl monooleate) and surfactant (poloxamer 407) using emulsification method. The prepared formulations were optimised and the optimised cubosomal dispersion was loaded into a carbomer-934 gel to form an emulsifying gel. All cubosomal dispersions had particle sizes ranging from 124 nm to 221.1 nm, optimal zeta potential and polydispersity index, and were found to be stable. The drug entrapment efficiency of the cubosomes was over 90%. Thein vitrodiffusion study showed that the developed formulation had a higher release rate than the marketed formulation. Thein vitroantifungal activity study confirmed that the prepared emulsion formulation was also effective againstCandida albicans. The novel drug delivery system developed in this study, the cubosomal emulgel, could thus be a favourable approach for the topical delivery of luliconazole for the treatment of fungal infections.
No Evidence that Strict Educational Tracking Improves Student Performance through Classroom Homogeneity: A Critical Reanalysis of Esser and Seuring (2020)
Authors: Heisig Jan Paul , Matthewes Sönke Hendrik
Published: July 2022

In a recent contribution to this journal, Esser and Seuring (2020) draw on data from the National Educational Panel Study to attack the widespread view that tracking in lower secondary education exacerbates inequalities in student outcomes without improving average student performance. Exploiting variation in the strictness of tracking across 13 of the 16 German federal states (e. g., whether teacher recommendations are binding), Esser and Seuring claim to demonstrate that stricter tracking after grade 4 results in better performance in grade 7 and that this can be attributed to the greater homogeneity of classrooms under strict tracking. We show these conclusions to be untenable: Esser and Seuring’s measures of classroom composition are highly dubious because the number of observed students is very small for many classrooms. Even when we adopt their classroom composition measures, simple corrections and extensions of their analysis reveal that there is no meaningful evidence for a positive relationship between classroom homogeneity and student achievement – the channel supposed to mediate the alleged positive effect of strict tracking. We go on to show that students from more strictly tracking states perform better already at the start of tracking (grade 5), which casts further doubt on the alleged positive effect of strict tracking on learning progress and leaves selection or anticipation effects as more plausible explanations. On a conceptual level, we emphasize that Esser and Seuring’s analysis is limited to states that implement different forms of early tracking and cannot inform us about the relative performance of comprehensive and tracked systems that is the focus of most prior research.
Genossenschaften von Solo-Selbstständigen als neue Arbeitsmarktorganisationen
Authors: Apitzsch Birgit , Ruiner Caroline
Published: July 2022

Genossenschaften erfahren in jüngster Zeit in ihrem empirischen Auftreten und als Forschungsgegenstand eine Renaissance. Dieser Beitrag exploriert Genossenschaften von und für Solo-Selbstständige als neue Arbeitsmarktorganisationen. Ziel ist es, zu erfassen, wie Genossenschaften als Organisationstyp Mobilität organisieren und welche Organisationsdynamiken damit verbunden sind. In einem Vergleich zweier Fälle aus IT und Medizin werden Genossenschaften über die zentralen Organisationsmerkmale Ziel, Mitgliedschaft und Struktur bestimmt und es wird ihre Rolle auf dem Arbeitsmarkt diskutiert. Genossenschaften mit dem Ziel der solidarischen Organisation von Mobilität von Solo-Selbstständigen können als Hybride zwischen Interessenvertretungs- und Vermittlungsorganisationen gesehen werden, die sich in der sozialen Integration ihrer Mitglieder von anderen Arbeitsmarktorganisationen und sozialen Netzwerken unterscheiden. Mit der Analyse wird ein Beitrag zur empirischen Erforschung von Genossenschaften sowie zu ihrer organisationssoziologischen Einordnung geleistet.
Bildungsvorstellungen im sozialen Wandel – eine Kohortenanalyse für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland in der Zeit von 1958 bis 2018
Authors: Becker Rolf , Gilgen Sandra , Anhalt Elmar
Published: July 2022

Ziel der vorliegenden Kohortenanalyse ist es, die frühere Studie von Meulemann (1982) über den Wandel von Bildungsvorstellungen in der Bevölkerung zu replizieren. Hierbei wird seine implizite These, die Bildungsexpansion seit den 1960er Jahren sei verantwortlich für den sozialen Wandel subjektiver Interpretationen sowohl von Bildungschancen als auch von Wert, Inhalt und Zielen der Bildung gewesen direkt überprüft. Dazu werden zwei Zeitdimensionen – historische Periode und Abfolge von Geburtskohorten – berücksichtigt und neben den ursprünglich verwendeten Datensätzen auch aktuelle Daten analysiert. Zudem werden zusätzliche erklärende Argumente eingeführt. Für einen Zeitraum von 60 Jahren werden periodenspezifische und kohortendifferenzierende Effekte der Bildungsexpansion auf die subjektive Wahrnehmung von Bildung aufgedeckt. Bildungschancen werden trotz gestiegener Bildungsgelegenheiten zunehmend kritischer von den jüngeren Kohorten beurteilt. Die meritokratischen Spielregeln werden weiterhin akzeptiert, jedoch bezweifeln jüngere Kohorten zunehmend, dass Bildung der Weg zum sozialen Aufstieg ist. Schließlich unterliegen auch die schulischen Erziehungsziele einem sukzessiven Wertewandel.
“The Social Antagonism between Whiteness and Antiracism: How and Why White Antiracists lose their Whiteness”
Authors: Hughey Matthew W. , Schmitt Mark
Published: July 2022

This article depicts two cases of “lost Whiteness” and unintentional racial “passing.” Based on years of ethnographic research, we present the story of two White people who – largely because of their truly-determined commitment to racial justice activism – were thought by others as being or becoming Persons of Color. These activists were not trying to pass. Rather, they are manifestations of a “reverse racial pass,” defined as “any instance in which a person legally recognized as white effectively functions as a non-white person in any quarter of the social arena” (Harper 1998: 382). These two cases illumine the relationships between the ongoing, negotiated process of racial identity formation and antiracist activism in the United States. We argue that Whiteness and antiracism are enmeshed in a paradoxical dynamic: Social emphases on antiracist activism enabled the reception of White activists as People of Color, while conversely, emphases on activists’ Whiteness enabled observers to doubt both their moral commitments and intellectual prowess toward antiracist activism. This dynamic gestures toward the necessity to examine the symbolic and discursive factors undergirding the social construction of “race”, which in turn destabilizes both layperson and scholarly focus on physical appearance and racialization.
Carbon Reductions in a Leading Real Estate Corporation:A Case Study of British Land Company Proprietary
Authors: Mercer Madeleine , Dargusch Paul , Hill Genia
Published: July 2022

Carbon management is critical in a world of growing corporate emissions that are contributing to substantial environmental degradation. The real estate industry has a significant impact on the climatic crisis, contributing to 40% of greenhouse gas emissions produced from the development and use of buildings. The British Land Company has allocated significant resources into reducing the carbon intensity of its assets and general activities. British Land is unique in producing a sustainability goal that includes unique carbon levies to finance retrofitting of its assets and to improve its overall sustainability. British Land’s assets (retail, residential and office) produce an average of 933 kg CO2e/sqm, with total emissions of 242,291 tonnes of CO2 during the 2020 financial year. British Land has also integrated a variety of sustainable interventions, including sourcing renewable energy, diversion of waste from landfill, designing out fossil fuels, building with low-carbon materials, recycling and others. This has resulted in a 19% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions between the 2020 and 2021 financial years. Without defining these practices and British Land’s quantified contributions to reducing carbon intensity, it is difficult to complete a rigorous assessment of the emissions profile of British Land. However, it is clear that it is making great progress towards aligning with the Paris Agreement 2030 targets but must be more purposeful in its management reporting.
Online Business Media of Ukraine: Typology and Specific Features

Published: July 2022

This article offers a new look at the specific characteristics and key typological factors of online business media in Ukraine. Knowledge of the typological structure and features of business media segmentation can be used in marketing plans and media planning. The empirical part of the article presents a comprehensive definition of the term “business journalism” in the social communication discourse of Ukraine, as well as the typology of online business media based on selected structural and functional and type-forming factors: economic and organizational, structural and functional, professional and technological. As a result of practical analysis and theoretical thinking, the article also proposes the definition of social functions of business media, which was previously overlooked by scientists.
Delayed feedback, regulatory fit and goal framing effects on tax compliance: An exploratory study
Authors: Mora-Esquivel Ronald , Solís Martín , Arzadun Paula
Published: July 2022

This research shows the main effects of three variables on tax compliance. Specifically, a) the goal framing message (positive or negative message) about tax compliance importance addressed to taxpayers, b) the prevention and promotion orientation of the taxpayers and, c) the audit delayed feedback. We combine these variables at the laboratory experiment because they have been underestimated in the research of tax compliance decisions. In addition, this research analyzes whether the effect of the message framing on tax compliance changes according to the promotion or prevention orientation of the taxpayers, and the delayed feedback. A total of 186 undergraduate students from engineering and business administration programs took part in an experiment to explore those effects. Results show: a) that the negative frame has a positive significant effect on tax compliance; b) a significant effect of the interaction between negative frame and promotion focus. When there is a low promotion focus, the best option is not to apply a negative frame; c) that, as time goes by, the effect of delayed feedback increases.
A Critical Review about the discourses of ‘succession to houseworship’which were made under the Japanese colonialism of Korea
Authors:   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University, Sim Hui-Gi
Published: July 2022

During the Japanese colonial period, the concept of the succession of ancestor-worship was recorded as a customary law of Joseon. If it is expressed as succession to the son who performs the ancestral rites after the deceased father, then there is no big problem. The problem lies in creating the term of the‘succession of ancestor-worship' and assigning it a kind of private rights to it as an inheritance object. It is very difficult to understand the thesis logically. Therefore the author traces the thesis and critically examines the discourse on the‘succession of ancestor-worship' which was basically formed by Japanese judicial officials during the Japanese colonial period.
In Part II, four specific examples of the Joseon Dynasty that may have provoked discourse on the‘succession of ancestor-worship' were presented as a cornerstone of criticism of the theory formed during the Japanese colonial period. Although there was a possibility that the descendants who were identified as jeoktong (嫡統) or jongtong (宗通) could be conferred official posts, it is not 100% conferred. No public office is conferred unless recommended by a high-ranking central official or directed by the monarch. In such a situation, it is doubtful what kind of profit would be acceptable to the descendants who were identified.
In Part III, the definition of inheritance developed by Japanese jurists around the 1900s was reviewed. They did not attempt to define inheritance (succession) as an abstract concept beyond ethnocentrism. In this position, it is difficult to objectively objectify the reality of Joseon history and culture.
In Part Ⅳ, the records of the resolution of the government-level institutional inquiry committee in 1923, 10 years after the Japanese colonial rule began to manage the Joseon Dynasty, were reviewed. The content of this resolution was not much different from the description of the customs investigation report of the 1910s.
Part V is the conclusion part. Distortion theory and creation theory have been proposed regarding the results of the survey on customs of Joseon, recorded and organized by the Japanese. Not all of the results of the survey on Korean customs recorded and organized by the Japanese are distortions or creations. However, it is true that there have been some distortions and creations. The fundamental reason for distortion and creation lies in the colonialist assimilation policy. Another factor is the lack of abstraction ability for colonialists to properly read the history and culture of the colonized area.
Labor Laws and Labor Movements under the Kim Young Sam Administration
Authors:   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University, Yu Hea-Kyung
Published: July 2022

The main labor movements during the Kim Young Sam Administration appeared as a general strike to block the revision of the labor laws. The general strike against labor law revision has the following significances. Firstly, it was the first nationwide general strike after the Korean War in 1950. Secondly, by opposing the revision, it aimed not economic benefits but political demands. Thirdly, it opposed not only against individual employers but against governmental power also, which could make it characterized as a political struggle.
Among the major labor movements in each era, those respective ones shall be understood by separating historical events from simple facts when you need to figure if they aimed the right to liberty or the right to live. The nationwide general strike should be recognized not as a simple fact, but as a historical event (important and meaningful). Under such historical facts, the general strike pursued the right to liberty as a political struggle.
Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder should not be classified by solely relying on component/symptomatic features •
Authors: Castro-Calvo Jesús , Flayelle Maèva , Perales José C. , Brand Matthias , Potenza Marc N. , Billieux Joël
Published: July 2022

The paper by Sassover and Weinstein (2022) contributes to a timely and complex debate related to the classification of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD). The recent inclusion of CSBD as an impulse-control disorder in the ICD-11 has generated debate since a competitive view is that CSBD should rather be classified as an addictive disorder. Sassover and Weinstein (2022) reviewed existing evidence and concluded it does not support the conceptualization of CSBD as an addictive disorder. Although we agree regarding the relevance and timely nature of considering the classification of CSBD, we respectfully disagree with the position that relying on the components model of addiction (Griffiths, 2005) is the optimal approach for determining whether or not CSBD is an addictive disorder. In this commentary, we discuss potential pitfalls of relying on the components model to conceptualize CSBD as an addictive disorder and argue that considering a process-based approach is important for advancing this timely debate.
Towards an Interreligious Engagement: A Case Study of Paguyuban Eklasing Budi Murko (PEBM) in Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta
Authors: Suheri Suheri , Maula Haris Fatwa Dinal
Published: July 2022

The feeling of being the majority often drives people to hegemony other minorities. The presence of religious minorities seems marginalized because they do not have much power to assert their existence. This study examines the dynamic relationship between Paguyuban Eklasing Budi Murko (PEBM) followers and the religious majority in the Salamrejo. Thus, this research uses two theories: the indigenous religion paradigm and the non-formal interfaith dialogue. The research data is collected from an in-depth interview, literature studies, and mainstream online data. The hegemony assumption reveals that the feeling of the majority continues dominating society. In contrast, the hypothesis is too general. The relationship of PEBM as the indigenous religion and world religions community, particularly Islam, does not reflect this hypothesis. The dynamic relationships between PEBM and the majority groups in the village of Salamrejo are engaging with one another, which is influenced by two factors: First, Mbah Mangun is the elder and the most respected person in PEBM. Second, by the teachings of PEBM per se, which is very fluid to all religions in the paradigm of inter-subjectivity and interreligious engagement as a new strategy for PEBM to encourage social acceptance.
Cultural Violence towards the LGBTQ+ Community in Islamic Majority Country: A Case From @tabu.id’s Comment Section
Authors: Harrisa Siti Ivadhea , Lainsyamputty Nokia Putri Andika
Published: July 2022

Indonesia is a Muslim-majority country. Therefore, Islamic values can be found in every aspect of national and state life. The privilege and power that Muslims have as the majority were used to structurally marginalize the minority group. It changes the essence of religious people who worship God into fanaticism that deifies religion. This study aims to explore the mechanism of cultural conflict and violence against the LGBTQ+ community in the online landscape, primarily through the @tabu.id platform after the pandemic hit. This research uses theories of cultural violence from Johan Galtung and cultural hegemony from Antonio Gramsci. This research uses a thematic analysis method from the comment section of @tabu.id posts. From 19 LGBTQ+ themed posts in @tabu.id from March 2020 to November 2021, it was found that some audiences still perceive LGBTQ+ as a deviation, mainly from Indonesian and Islamic values. This leads to the justification of cultural violence towards the LGBTQ+ community and the rejection of acknowledging LGBTQ+ as part of CSE. These findings show the importance of CSE integrated curriculum that included the LGBTQ+ matter to form an inclusive society. Peace study is also seen as the solution to solve the cultural conflict, violence, and hegemony in Indonesia.
Format Ulang Masa Depan Islam: Review atas Model Politik Pengetahuan pada Sunnī dan Shī‘Ī
Authors: Umam Muchammad Helmi
Published: July 2022

This article explores how Sunnī and Shī‘ī Muslims develop knowledge politics in accordance with their unique thought environments. This research discovers tentative evidence that the Muslim political leadership model plays an important part in the dynamics of Muslim society by employing a qualitative literature method with a descriptive-argumentative approach. Normatively, Sunnis and Shiites are similar, yet historically, there are strategic disparities. The notions of wilāyat al-‘ulamā’ in Sunnī and wilāyat al-faqīh in Shī‘ī have the similar content in terms of the politics of knowledge in forming leadership standards, but they have different methodologies for gaining knowledge and abilities. This article confirms that there are no normative issues with Islamic leadership and Islamic politics. Differences in perspectives on Islamic politics exist only in the model of political knowledge and technical state competencies. Furthermore, the constructive achievements of Islamic politics arise only when the leader chooses scientific leadership. In the golden age of medieval Islamic civilization, for example, the politics of knowledge spawned the culture of knowledge. During the period, the political leadership was successful in developing a wide range of information goods and useful tools for the people.
Ibn Taymiyya's Conception of Jihad: Corpus, General Aspects, and Research Perspectives
Authors: Berriah Mehdi
Published: July 2022

The question of jihad is fundamental to Ibn Taymiyya since he is one of the theologians of the Mamluk period—and probably of the entire medieval period—who wrote the most on this subject. Jihad was an essential part of the life of the famous theologian of Damascus, who took part in the Mamluk war effort as a volunteer in various expeditions. Over the last decades, scholars have been interested in the issue of jihad in Ibn Taymiyya and have highlighted several elements. These works have helped us learn more about the ideology of jihad in Ibn Taymiyya. However, it should be noted that those works focus on the jihad against a particular enemy (Mongols, heretics of the Kisrawān, Shi‘ites) in a particular context and do not deal much with Ibn Taymiyya’s general conception of jihad, for which several grey areas remain. This article will discuss Ibn Taymiyya and his general conception of jihad. My method is broken down into two steps to provide new elements and research perspectives. In the first instance, I will identify the maximum of Ibn Taymiyya’s writings and passages related to jihad, making the beginning of a type of inventory. Then I will analyze their content and cross-check them to bring to light general aspects of Ibn Taymiyya’s conception of jihad.

Conclusión: La intervención educativa a partir del uso de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación mejoro la autogestión para la prevención de heridas en pie diabético, logrando las personas un cambio en su comportamiento.
SAINDO DA “TORRE DE MARFIM”: A PREVENÇÃO DE VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA A POPULAÇÃO LGBTQIAPN+ NA UNIVERSIDADE
Authors: Perassoli Enayton , Silva Alexandre Rodrigo Nishiwaki da
Published: July 2022

A violência contra a população LGBTQIAPN+ é um tema que assola inúmeras pessoas que não se enquadram no padrão cisheteronormativo estabelecido socialmente. Estudos indicam que a universidade, estando inserida na sociedade, reproduz essa forma de violência ao não criar estratégias de prevenção e superação efetivas deste fenômeno em seu interior. Amparado pela aprendizagem dialógica e a Metodologia Comunicativa, o presente artigo apresenta os resultados de uma investigação que procurou apontar, a partir da compreensão de 18 estudantes de graduação, o modo como uma universidade pública do estado de São Paulo atua no combate ao preconceito baseado na diversidade sexual e de gênero em seus espaços, identificando os elementos excludentes e transformadores que sejam capazes de promover, prevenir e superar a violência contra pessoas LGBTQIAPN+. Como resultados principais, esta pesquisa indica que o posicionamento público da gestão dessas universidades, o estabelecimento de políticas de combate à violência, bem como a construção de espaços formativos sobre a temática para discentes, docentes e demais funcionários e funcionárias em todo o âmbito acadêmico, propiciam um ambiente mais acolhedor, respeitoso e livre de qualquer forma de preconceito contra essa população em questão.

Ego-team v1
Authors: Cesar Mantilla
Published: July 2022

We study how individuals' contribution to a team production task varies depending on whether the task is ego relevant or not. We design and conduct an experiment to test the effect of ego-relevance when the team output depends on the top- and the bottom-performer of the group. Ego-relevance is manipulated by calling the Raven IQ Test an “IQ Task” or a “Pattern Task”. We find that the contribution, which corresponds to an contribution of intended effort in the task, is affected by ego-relevance and the team production function. However, both effects are mediated by the expected teammate's contribution. Ego-relevance increases the responsiveness to the expected teammate's behavior, a behavior that is also more noticeable when the team output depends on the bottom-performer. Nevertheless, we do not observe crossed-effects between ego-relevance and the team production function.
Determining the Optimal Location of Substations for Electric Distribution
Authors: Cebeci Sema , Faruk Baykoc Omer
Published: July 2022

Substation optimization involves positioning a substation(s) at the most suitable point with minimum cost. In this study, multiple data were collected from the Turkish Electric Distribution Incorporated Company (TEİAŞ) for the substation in the Eryaman region. The substations will be placed at straight points. Using the capacity of the substations, power, voltage drops, and service interruptions were calculated for a 10-year planning period. Each criterion represents one constraint. The established model serves the following objectives: determining the optimal point and size of the substations in the given planning period by minimizing costs and satisfying the demand of the sectors without service interruption. The model is solved in GAMS and optimal results are obtained. Our results demonstrate that by installing the two substations at the given locations the energy demand of the Eryaman region will be satisfied. To test the model’s applicability for larger systems, the number and the capacity of the substations and the transformers are increased. The results show that optimality has been maintained and that the model remains valid.
Ocean Governance in the Coral Triangle: A Multi-Level Regulatory Governance Structure
Authors: Heck Sarah A.
Published: July 2022

The current mode of ocean governance in the biogeographically defined space of the Coral Triangle emerged due to the framing of marine degradation as a de-bounded risk with a transboundary nature. This framing justified the rescaling of the issue’s governance from the national to the regional. This article will explore how ocean governance in the form of the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries, and Food Security (CTI-CFF) is an example of a regional multi-level regulatory governance arrangement based on disaggregated, regulatory forms of statehood. These new kinds of regional regulatory governance are defined by the dominance of policy and technical expertise. As such, non-state actors work closely with national and supranational actors in the development, implementation, and regulatory functions of the CTI-CFF. The organizational structure of the CTI-CFF’s governance framework provides an example of how regional regulatory systems are networked into existing national government structures. The CTI-CFF’s Regional Plan of Action and corresponding mechanisms serve as a model for each member country’s National Plan of Action and domestic programs. These plans of action promote the transformation and rescaling of national governance to be consistent with regional standards of marine resource governance. To summarize, CTI-CFF is a multi-level governance structure constructed to strengthen regulatory regionalism.
Constructing Ocean and Polar Governance
Authors: Wehrmann Dorothea , Zimmermann Hubert
Published: July 2022

The governance of ocean and polar regions is among the most relevant challenges in the combat against global environmental degradation and global inequalities. Ocean and polar regions are climate regulators and very much affected by climate change. They are an important source of nutrition for life in and above the sea. At the same time, they are subject to an increasing number of geopolitical and geo-economic conflicts. Due to the lasting virulence of many security issues, economic conflicts, legal disputes, new technological developments, and environmental crises in global marine areas as well as the intricate overlap of sovereign, semi-sovereign, and global commons territories, the relevance of ocean and polar governance is bound to rise. This thematic issue sketches important trends in research on these issues and identifies future avenues of inquiry. In this editorial, we first provide an overview of governance challenges for ocean and polar regions and their relevance for geopolitical and geo-economic conflicts. In a second step, we present the eight contributions that make up the thematic issue by clustering them around three themes: (a) challenges to norm-creation in ocean governance, (b) the impact of territorialisation on governance and the construction of authority, and (c) the effectiveness of regimes of ocean and polar governance.
UKRAINIAN STUDIES AT HARVARD – HIGHLIGHTS FROM A 1998 VOA REPORTING ASSIGNMENT
Authors:   Ukrainian Association for American Studies, Karmazyn Adrian
Published: July 2022

Marking the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, next year, we publish the article of Adrian Karmazyn, a member of the Ukrainian Association of American Studies, a historian and journalist, expert in American media and strategic communications, who worked for the Voice of America for more than 25 years and served as the Chief of the VOA Ukrainian Service (2005 – 2015). This is the third in a series of articles illustrating the type of reporting Adrian Karmazyn was engaged in as a radio journalist with the Voice of America’s (VOA) Ukrainian Service in the 1990s. Previously, he have written about his 1993 reporting assignment in then-newly independent Ukraine [2] and his 1996 reporting assignment at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago [4]. A collection of VOA Ukrainian Service recordings is preserved at the Ukrainian Museum-Archives in Cleveland [5]. Adrian Karmazyn’s memoir about his career at VOA is included in a collection of articles, published in conjunction with the 70th anniversary of VOA’s Ukrainian Service [3]. The Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University (HURI) is one of the most powerful and oldest centers of Ukrainian studies in America. It serves as a focal point for graduate and undergraduate students, fellows, and associates pursuing research in Ukrainian language, literature, and history as well as in anthropology, archaeology, art history, economics, political science, sociology, theology, and other disciplines. Most of the interviews for this story about HURI were conducted in English and then translated into Ukrainian for broadcast to Ukraine. For this article, the Ukrainian versions of interviewee comments were translated back into English.
AMERICAN SECURITY ASSISTANCE TO UKRAINE: MECHANISMS AND PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATIONS
Authors:   Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University, Lymar Marharyta , Tykhonenko Iryna ,   Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to research basis, experience, and practical ways of the implementation of U.S. security (defense) assistance to Ukraine. The current study considers the institutional and legal framework for providing U.S. defense support to Ukraine; explores the preconditions for strengthening U.S. military assistance at modern stage; analyzes the possible consequences of such support for the United States; gives an overall assessment of U.S. security assistance to Ukraine since 2014. The methodological basis of the study includes a set of general and special research methods. The systematic method allowed to consider the process of providing military assistance to Ukraine by the United States as a multilevel system. First, military support to Ukraine is considered in the format of mechanisms that promote comprehensive military assistance to Ukraine. Second, it is observed as an element of foreign policy strategies of the U.S. administrations since 2014. Third, the overall impact of U.S. assistance to Ukraine is studied in the format of a security environment at the regional and global levels of international relations. The comparative method helped to compare the volumes and effectiveness of security assistance under Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations. Statistical methods were used as the basis for the objective study and allowed to consider features and scope of assistance in the period from 2014 to 2022. The scientific novelty lies in one of the first attempts among Ukrainian authors to make an overall analysis of current situation in Ukraine, – active phase of Russian aggression against our state, – given the fact that domestic scientists are just beginning to study comprehensively foreign military and defense assistance that Ukraine receives from international partners, including the United States. In this regard, the authors pay special attention to reviewing American and British sources as well as current news and analytical reports. Summing up, the authors confirm significance of American security support for effective military counteraction to Russia and restoration of Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
