Clique factors in pseudorandom graphs
Authors: Morris Patrick
Published: December 2023

An

n

-vertex graph is said to to be

(p,\beta)

-bijumbled
if for any vertex sets

A,B\subseteq V(G)

, we have

e(A,B)=p|A|\,|B|\pm \beta \sqrt{|A|\,|B|}.

We prove that for any

r\in {\mathbb N}_{\ge3}

and

c>0

there exists an

\varepsilon>0

such that any

n

-vertex

(p,\beta)

-bijumbled graph with

n\in r \mathbb{N}

,

p>0

,

\delta(G)\geq cpn

and

\beta \leq \varepsilon p^{r-1}n

contains a 

K_{r}

-factor. This implies a corresponding result for the stronger pseudorandom notion of

(n,d,\lambda)

-graphs. For the case of triangle factors, that is, when

r=3

, this result resolves a conjecture of Krivelevich, Sudakov and Szabó from 2004 and it is tight due to a pseudorandom triangle-free construction of Alon. In fact, in this case even more is true: as a corollary to this result and a result of Han, Kohayakawa, Person and the author, we can conclude that the same condition of

\beta=o(p^{2}n)

actually guarantees that a

(p,\beta)

-bijumbled graph

G

contains every graph on

n

vertices with maximum degree at most 2.
Complex powers of the wave operator and the spectral action on Lorentzian scattering spaces
Authors: Dang Nguyen Viet , Wrochna Michał
Published: December 2023

We consider perturbations of Minkowski space as well as more general spacetimes on which the wave operator

\square_{g}

is known to be essentially self-adjoint. We define complex powers

(\square_{g}-i\varepsilon)^{-\alpha}

by functional calculus, and show that the trace density exists as a meromorphic function of

\alpha

. We relate its poles to geometric quantities, in particular to the scalar curvature. The results allow us to formulate a spectral action principle which serves as a simple Lorentzian model for the bosonic part of the Chamseddine–Connes action. Our proof combines microlocal resolvent estimates, including radial propagation estimates, with uniform estimates for the Hadamard parametrix. The arguments work in Lorentzian signature directly and do not rely on transition from the Euclidean setting.
The Boltzmann equation for plane Couette flow
Authors: Duan Renjun , Liu Shuangqian , Yang Tong
Published: December 2023

In the paper, we study the plane Couette flow of a rarefied gas between two parallel infinite plates at

y=\pm L

moving relative to each other with opposite velocities

(\pm \alpha L,0,0)

along the

x

-direction. Assuming that the stationary state takes the specific form of

F(y,v_{x}-\alpha y,v_{y},v_{z})

with the

x

-component of the molecular velocity sheared linearly along the

y

-direction, such steady flow is governed by a boundary value problem for a steady nonlinear Boltzmann equation driven by an external shear force under the homogeneous nonmoving diffuse reflection boundary condition. In the case of the Maxwell molecule collisions, we establish the existence of spatially inhomogeneous nonequilibrium stationary solutions to the steady problem for any small enough shear rate

\alpha>0

via an elaborate perturbation approach using Caflisch’s decomposition together with Guo’s

L^{\infty}\cap L^{2}

theory. The result indicates a polynomial tail at large velocities for the stationary distribution. Moreover, the large time asymptotic stability of the stationary solution with exponential convergence is also obtained and as a consequence the nonnegativity of the steady profile is justified.
FZZ formula of boundary Liouville CFT via conformal welding
Authors: Ang Morris , Remy Guillaume , Sun Xin
Published: December 2023

Liouville Conformal Field Theory (LCFT) on the disk describes the conformal factor of the quantum disk, which is the natural random surface in Liouville quantum gravity with disk topology. Fateev, Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov (2000) proposed an explicit expression, the so-called FZZ formula, for the one-point bulk structure constant for LCFT on the disk. In this paper we give a proof of the FZZ formula in the probabilistic framework of LCFT, which represents the first step towards rigorously solving boundary LCFT using conformal bootstrap. In contrast to previous works, our proof is based on conformal welding of quantum disks and the mating-of-trees theory for Liouville quantum gravity. As a byproduct of our proof, we also obtain the exact value of the variance for the Brownian motion in the mating-of-trees theory. Our paper is an essential part of an ongoing program proving integrability results for Schramm–Loewner evolutions, LCFT, and in the mating-of-trees theory.
Cohomology of the moduli of Higgs bundles on a curve via positive characteristic
Authors: de Cataldo Mark Andrea , Maulik Davesh , Shen Junliang , Zhang Siqing
Published: December 2023

For a curve of genus

g

and any two degrees coprime to the rank, we construct a family of ring isomorphisms parameterized by the complex Lie group

\mathrm{GSp}(2g),

between the cohomology of the moduli spaces of stable Higgs bundles which preserve the perverse filtrations. As a consequence, we prove two structural results concerning the cohomology of Higgs moduli which are predicted by the P = W Conjecture in Non-Abelian Hodge Theory: (1) Galois conjugation for character varieties preserves the perverse filtrations for the corresponding Higgs moduli spaces. (2) The restriction of the Hodge–Tate decomposition for a character variety to each piece of the perverse filtration for the corresponding Higgs moduli space also gives a decomposition. Our proof uses reduction to positive characteristic and relies on the non-abelian Hodge correspondence in characteristic

p

between Dolbeault and de Rham moduli spaces.
A non-archimedean definable Chow theorem
Authors: Oswal Abhishek
Published: December 2023

Peterzil and Starchenko have proved the following surprising generalization of Chow’s theorem: A closed analytic subset of a complex algebraic variety that is definable in an o-minimal structure is in fact an algebraic subset. In this paper, we prove a non-archimedean analogue of this result.
Geometric $L$-packets of Howe-unramified toral supercuspidal representations
Authors: Chan Charlotte , Oi Masao
Published: December 2023

We show that

L

-packets of toral supercuspidal representations arising from unramified maximal tori of

p

-adic groups are realized by Deligne–Lusztig varieties for parahoric subgroups. We prove this by exhibiting a direct comparison between the cohomology of these varieties and algebraic constructions of supercuspidal representations. Our approach is to establish that toral irreducible representations are uniquely determined by the values of their characters on a domain of sufficiently regular elements. This is an analogue of Harish-Chandra’s characterization of real discrete series representations by their characters on regular elements of compact maximal tori, a characterization which Langlands relied on in his construction of

L

-packets of these representations. In parallel to the real case, we characterize the members of Kaletha’s toral

L

-packets by their characters on sufficiently regular elements of elliptic maximal tori.

SAE J1939 Network Compliance
Authors:   Truck Bus Control and Communications Network Committee
Published: December 2023

SAE J1939-82 compliance describes the compliance tests and procedures to verify an SAE J1939 electronic control unit (ECU) operates correctly on a SAE J1939 network. The purpose of these compliance procedures is to generate one or more test documents that outline the tests needed to assure that an ECU that is designed to operate as a node on a SAE J1939 network would do so correctly. SAE does not certify devices and these tests and their results do not constitute endorsement by SAE of any particular ECU. These tests are presented to allow testing of an ECU to determine self compliance by the manufacturer of an ECU. The manufacturer can use its record of what procedures were run successfully to show the level of compliance with SAE J1939.

Metallic Connections for Fluid Power and General Use - Part 3: NPTF Pipe Adapters and NPSM Adapter Unions
Authors:   Hydraulic Tube Fittings Committee
Published: December 2023

This part of SAE J514 covers general and dimensional specifications for NPTF pipe adapters and 30 degree NPSM adapter unions. These fittings are intended for general application in hydraulic systems on industrial equipment and commercial products.

These fittings are capable of providing leak-proof, full-flow connections in hydraulic systems operating at working pressures as specified in Table 6. Since many factors influence the pressure at which a hydraulic system will or will not perform satisfactorily, the values shown in Table 6 should not be construed as a guaranteed minimum.

For any application, it is recommended that sufficient testing be conducted and reviewed by both the user and fitting manufacturer to assure that performance levels will be safe and satisfactory.
Thinking ‘out of the box’ When Designing Formative Assessment Activities for the E-Portfolio
Authors: Majola Xolani Moffat
Published: December 2023

E-Portfolios of on-line scholars are integral to instructional planning and the design of authentic, engaging, and active tutoring for periodic self/peer-and-instructor formative assessments. In addition, the formative assessment in open distance and e-learning (ODeL) is meant to provide and facilitate contact, support, and structure to the learning experiences of students who are often unfamiliar and alienated by the distance learning experience. Previous research has focused on formative assessment strategies, results, and feedback in distance learning, but little has been studied on how to design suitable formative assessment activities in this format. This article, therefore, presents findings of how lecturers can the design a formative assessment for e-portfolio activities for online learning. Ten lecturer participants were purposively sampled from three colleges within the ODeL university. These semi-structured interviews, together with an e-portfolio checklist formed the basis for the interpretative analysis of how formative assessment activities are designed for the e-portfolios. The lecturers are guided by the student’s learning outcomes and use sequential activities for students to do via the e-portfolio. This, therefore, involves the lecturer’s consideration of graded and non-graded formative assessment activities of individual and group work e-portfolios to provide evidence and make judgments about each student’s progress.  This study’s findings emphasize the importance of designing formative assessment activities to help students learn the content and develop their understanding which further deepens their knowledge and acquisition of the module outcomes. The research shows that the benefits of optimal student engagement, performance, and learning are the result of the creative design of formative assessment activities.
Exploring Challenges Hindering Teachers’ Implementation of Classroom Management Strategies in Gauteng High Schools, South Africa
Authors: Mamaile Dineo , Omodan Bunmi Isaiah
Published: December 2023

This study explores challenges hindering teachers’ implementation of classroom management strategies in schools and suggests solutions thereafter. This study adopts the behaviourism theory, which aims to help learners unpack and emulate desirable behaviour, arguing that learning should lead to the adoption of constructive, observable conduct, such as what individuals say or do. The study is located within a qualitative approach using a case study design. The study consisted of purposively sampled participants comprised of twelve Grade 10 (FET Phase) educators from the three chosen high schools in Gauteng Province in the Ekurhuleni North District, South Africa. The collected data was analysed using content analysis. The findings highlighted large class sizes and insufficient parental involvement as key obstacles to effective classroom management. Setting clear expectations and fostering a positive environment were noted as crucial solutions. Recommendations include schools and educators actively promoting a supportive classroom atmosphere, establishing clear expectations, and encouraging parental participation in the learning process to overcome classroom management challenges and enhance high school teaching and learning experiences.
Foundation Phase Educators’ Views on the Management of Professional Development in Historically Disadvantaged Schools
Authors: Mashiane-Nkabinde Bongi , Nkambule Bongani Innocent , Ngubane Sindile Amina
Published: December 2023

Foundation Phase (FP) educators are deemed productive when cohorts of learners who pass through their hands cope well with learning beyond the initial three grades of schooling. In South Africa, despite empirical evidence showing that FP educators in historically disadvantaged schools contend with overcrowded classes, low parental involvement and a shortage of teaching and learning resources, are still perceived as the primary source of poor learner achievement. The other point of view is that teacher underperformance and poor learner achievement are a legacy of the apartheid-engineered Bantu education policies that left the schooling system with poorly trained Black educators. To reverse these challenges, post-apartheid educational policies mandate that every school continuously conduct teacher professional development (TPD). Situated in the theory of change (ToC), this qualitative interpretivist study used interviews of a semi-structured nature to purposefully interact with a sample of six FP educators. They each characterised their HoDs’ management of TPD in two primary schools in Emalahleni Circuit 2, Mpumalanga Province. The second method of data collection entailed the analysis of a range of documents, namely the educators’ files, school performance improvement plans, and national education policy documents,  to cross-check the findings of the thematic analysis. The findings revealed that HoDs were sufficiently collegial towards educators, showed commitment towards rendering professional support to educators, and adhered to a tight schedule of class visits to develop and appraise educators and monitor their implementation of inclusive education practices. Barriers stemmed from educators’ apprehension towards HoD’s class visits, especially the randomly conducted ones. The second barrier was the school management teams’ (SMTs’) inefficiency of professionalism, support for HoDs and understanding of curriculum leadership policy. The study recommends that communication around HODs’ scheduled and random class visits needs to take a more inclusive approach to scale down the panic caused by them, and SMTs must be equally prioritised for continuous professional development.
Factors Influencing Intention and Behaviour of Agricultural Extension Staff Concerting Post-Covid-19 Digital Technical Guidance: A Study in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Kaliky Rahima , Juniarti Hafni Amalia , Kusumawati Septi
Published: December 2023

Agriculture extension staffs are encouraged to attempt more efficient methods to enhance their competency through digital webinars or technical guidance, in Bahasa Bimbingan Teknis (Bimtek) programs. The research aims to explore factors influencing the intention and behavior of agricultural extension staff towards the Technical guidance online Ministry of Agriculture in Special Region Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This research included the Behavior Intention (BI) and Use Behavior (UB) models with significant construct. The research used the quantitative method and analyzed PLS-SEM. One hundred eighty extension staffs participated, chiefly 34-42 years old. All of the indicators passed the outer model assessment. The analysis results conclude that significant effects are Attitude to BI, Control Behavior to BI, Perceived Usefulness to BI, and Behavior Intention to UB. The perception of extension staffs about Technical guidance online can enhance their performance to continue using it in obtaining agricultural technology information, extension materials, information on agricultural policies, and the latest agricultural development programs. The insignificant constructs are Subjective Norm, Motivation, and Perceived Ease to Use. The validated research model explains 61% of the variance (R2 = 0.61) in Attitude, Perceived Usefulness, and Control Behaviour towards Behavior Intention (BI). Moreover, BI explains 8.9% of the variance (R2 = 0.089) in UB of Technical guidance online. This research found that BI and UB have Q2 values of 0.538 and 0.077. The practical implication could be applied as preliminary development planning studies to enhance the efficiency of Technical guidance online as Bank Data.
Legal grounds for implementing the institution of recourse to the mediation procedure and the use of other alternative methods of resolving tax and customs disputes
Authors: Vaolevska Lesia , Myshchak Ivan , Iakymchuk Nataliia , Kondratova Anna , Duliba Yevheniia
Published: December 2023

In the research it is emphasized that, in some states of the European Union EU, tax mediation is already used and considered not only as an alternative method of dispute resolution, but also as a method used to prevent the occurrence of a tax dispute in the future. Thus, on the basis of legal methods of scientific knowledge, such as: dialectical, logical-formal, comparative-legal, etc., the article examined modern approaches to the characterization of mediation as a procedure for peaceful settlement of disputes, paying attention to its characteristic features and differences from other forms of alternative dispute resolution. The state of legal regulation of the mediation procedure in public disputes in general, and in tax disputes in particular, using the example of Latvia and Ukraine, is highlighted. It is concluded that the necessary condition for carrying out mediation in public disputes should be enshrined in the administrative procedural legislation, not only the powers of state and municipal authorities to initiate mediation should be, in addition, to recognize such a decision in the form of an administrative contract, from which legal consequences with the character of public law are derived.

Authors: Krasnodemska Iryna , Hazizova Olena , Nastoiashcha Kateryna , Sorochuk Liudmyla
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the Russian policy of discrimination and assimilation of the Ukrainian community in occupied Crimea. Having analyzed a large amount of information and using the methods and principles of historical, sociological and political sciences, the authors came to the conclusion that the actions of the Russian Federation towards the Ukrainians of Crimea are discriminatory in nature, because they consist in the elimination of Ukrainian national identity. It has been established that in Crimea there have been registered numerous violations of Ukrainians’ rights to freedom of conscience, Ukrainian public and political organizations, educational system for Ukrainian-speaking inhabitants of Crimea, media infrastructure, Ukrainian centers and monuments have been illegally liquidated. In addition, culture and religious institutions are being destroyed. In the conclusions, it is stated that the state of the Ukrainian community in Crimea is deteriorating. The authors propose as one of the important components of the state policy of the future de-occupation and reintegration of Crimea, the protection of the Ukrainian identity of the inhabitants of Crimea and full support of the Crimean Ukrainian.
Acquisition of Agricultural Land by Domestic and Foreign Legal Entities: Legal Prospects for Ukraine and other Countries
Authors: Bobkova Antonina , Liutikov Pavlo , Bondar Oleksandr , Krasnova Yuliia
Published: December 2023

The aim of the research was to assess the legal framework for the acquisition of agricultural land by domestic and foreign legal entities, using the rules and regulations on the agricultural land market in Ukraine as an example of a system with ill-founded restrictions in this area. To accomplish this task, the authors resort to a set of scientific methods, including comparative review, systematic review and standard techniques of text analysis. The main result of the research was that it is imperative for Ukraine, taking into account that European integration is a key and unalterable priority of its foreign policy, to grant a general permission for foreign natural and legal persons to acquire agricultural land, as well as to introduce flexible approaches to setting acquisition limits. It is concluded that, the attention of policy makers should also focus on the need to deploy legal and institutional mechanisms that can respond to the challenges and risks associated with a significant degree of freedom of movement of agricultural land. This could include establishing in contracts for the alienation of agricultural land the obligations of buyers in relation to its rational use.
¿Qué fue lo que ocurrió con el control difuso en la Administración Pública Peruana?
Authors: Obiol Anaya Erik , Illidge Correa Ingrid , Cabejos Mejía Jorge
Published: December 2023

Diffuse administrative control was the subject of intense debate during the brief period in which it was in force in Peru. This paper aims to address the main concepts that led, initially, to authorize the public administration to exercise this power. The reason for this was to provide greater legal certainty to individuals by guaranteeing that their processes would be resolved under the protection of the constitution when a legal norm violated their fundamental rights. In addition, I seek to recount the different stages experienced by the diffuse administrative control in the judgment of the judges of the Constitutional Court TC; from its initial complete denial, through an increasingly perceptible acceptance until reaching the consolidation and subsequent rejection. Finally, we try to elucidate the questions that the last phase left regarding the questionable decision to leave without effect a binding precedent without proposing a new one to replace it; thus concluding, with a critical opinion of the authors that, in their own opinion, the final decision of the Constitutional Court in relation to the administrative diffuse control is considered irregular, almost arbitrary.

Force majeure as grounds for exemption from liability: International approach and Ukrainian experience in terms of the military conflict
Authors: Apalkova Inna , Dobrovolska Vladimira , Pavlova Yuliia , Yakymchuk Svitlana , Yarmaki Volodymyr
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the category of "force majeure" and the characteristics of the exemption from liability in circumstances of force majeure. In addition, the definition of force majeure in international normative acts is studied, the categories of force majeure, irresistible force and state of emergency are compared. The regime of grounds for exemption from liability and the place of force majeure in it are considered. The peculiarities of changing and terminating the contract as a result of a significant change in circumstances in case of force majeure in accordance with the legislation of European countries and Ukraine are analyzed. The article pays special attention to the qualification of circumstances as force majeure in the context of the anti-terrorist operation and the war in Ukraine. It is concluded that the concept of force majeure has its origin in Roman law and today it is known both in the civil and common law systems. From the time of Roman law, there was both a legislative regulation of exemption from liability for the occurrence of force majeure circumstances, as well as a contractual practice of formulating exemption from liability clauses.

Published: December 2023

The paper addresses some pressing national security and public safety issues in various jurisdictions, including Ukraine. The correlation between two main concepts is emphasized. It is shown that in the modern world risks related to national security and, therefore, also to public security are significant. The approaches to defining the two main components of the state are illustrated and the main elements are pointed out. It is emphasized that today security is one of the key values (rights) for any person and citizen and is generally prescribed in national Constitutions. The provisions of the draft Public Security and Civil Defense Strategy of Ukraine (2021), related to national security and public safety, have been discussed. Finally, the main threats to the security of the community and individual citizens have been outlined and the means to overcome them have been elaborated. In the conclusions, it has been established that the formulation of a security and defense sector perspective model for central executive authorities presents a number of opportunities as well as challenges. Moreover, it is difficult to give a clear and all-encompassing legal definition of the concept of "public security".

Authors: Khalimon Serhii , Kyrylenko Volodymyr , Sitsinskyi Anatoliy , Litvin Liudmyla , Poliuk Viktor
Published: December 2023

Based on personal participation in the special border operation "Polissia", the author's team analyzed the actions of the Ukrainian government in response to the potential risks of the migration crisis on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border in 2021. The experience of migration crisis response of the EU member states (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia) in 2021 was analyzed, as well as the experience of migration crisis response in previous years (Balkan route). Proposals for improving organizational aspects of conducting special border operations in order to overcome migration crises at the state border have been substantiated. In addition, a methodology has been developed that allows detecting the changes of the situation in the border zone of national security, determining the time periods of increase (decrease) of the degree of aggravation, forecasting the time period of transition of the situation from the level of "aggravation" to the level of "threat". In the conclusions it is proposed to develop a concept paper in the form of a strategy for the security and stability of state borders, which will include ways of solving the material and technical problems of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article was to determine the specific features of public control over the activities of certain law enforcement agencies and to develop suggestions for their improvement. The methodological basis of the research is general scientific (method of philosophical dialectics, etc.) and special legal methods of cognition (systemic, theoretical and legal, formal and dogmatic, comparative, state modeling method, etc.) The authors have developed their own definition of the concept of public control over the activities of law enforcement agencies. In the conclusions it has been offered to develop and approve the Law of Ukraine «On public control over the activities of law enforcement and supervisory bodies», which would systematize all forms of public control provided for in the Ukrainian legislation. Finally, suggestions have been developed for the introduction of positive international experiences of public control over the activities of law enforcement agencies in various countries.

Published: December 2023

The aim of the research was to make known the administrative and legal status of the subjects of public administration in the field of counter-terrorism. It was found that a rather clear and logical structure of state bodies in the field of organization and coordination of the fight against terrorism has been created in Ukraine. The system of anti-terrorist entities is a set of specific, legally defined institutions that interact with the aim of preventing, detecting, stopping and minimizing the consequences of terrorist activities. The following methods were used in the research: analysis of biographical sources, synthesis, deduction, comparative analysis and meta-analysis, etc. In the conclusions it has been established that the President of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada and the Cabinet of Ministers are the key actors in the fight against terrorism in the system of higher authorities. The defining areas of action of the President of Ukraine in the sphere of counter-terrorism, are the activities aimed at regulatory and legal support of counter-terrorism in Ukraine, which implies: creation, liquidation, reorganization and management of relevant counter-terrorism entities.

Peru is going through a political juncture that, although difficult, manages to include the fight against corruption in the public agenda. Today, more than ever, citizens see corruption as one of the country’s biggest problems. The fight against corruption involves the whole country and must be carried out in a dynamic manner, since corruption mechanisms continue to develop and become more complex. The objective of this research work is to determine the incidence of the Specific Control Service for Acts with Presumed Irregularities: a prompt and focused subsequent control in the accountability of officials in the local governments of the province of Tacna. The research methodology is of qualitative approach, non-experimental design, exploratory level and documentary type. The population consists of 18 reports of control actions in the modality of “Specific Control Service of Presumably Irregular Acts”, the technique is documentary analysis, and the instrument is an analysis guide. It is concluded the identification of economic damages, to which correspond the financial losses in and possible civil, criminal and administrative responsibilities were identified in 130 officials and public servants.
Interpretation of tax law in cases involving commercial entities: Opportunities to exchange best practices in the area of corporate social responsibility regulation
Authors: Zakharchenko Andrii , Sydorov Yaroslav , Novoshytska Valeriia , Manzyuk Vasyl
Published: December 2023

The article aims to develop a correct understanding of the essence and implications of the basic principles and legal provisions governing tax matters, as well as to form an insight into their evolutionary transformations on the basis of the exchange of relevant best practices between Ukraine and other countries. Relying on methods of comparative review, as well as methods of systematic review and standard techniques of text analysis, the author covers theoretical and practical issues related to the balanced combination of literal and intentional interpretation of tax legislation provisions, in dubio pro tributario in the interpretation of tax laws and question of reasonable cause and good faith of taxpayers. It is noted, in particular, that common law countries and continental legal systems are united by a tendency towards a balanced combination of literal and purposive interpretation. It is emphasized in the conclusions that, along with the literal wording of tax law provisions, the purpose of their introduction and the general principles of tax law are taken into account. Moreover, in some countries, reference to the intention of the legislators is even allowed.
Deploying persuasive technology-based model in the prevention and control of malaria in Nigeria to reduce incidence of deaths
Authors: Ogbaga Ignatius Nwoyibe , Nweke Henry Friday , Ndunagu Juliana Ngozi
Published: December 2023

Specifically among pregnant women and young children under the age of five, malaria is one of the major causes of illnesses and fatalities in Nigeria, and in Africa in general. According to recent research, malaria-related deaths (MRDs) have risen even though the government has implemented numerous intervention strategies to combat this deadly among Nigerians. This is a result of people not using such intervention methods to protect themselves. Further research into why people don’t comply with intervention systems effectively revealed that the interventions are passive, and sometimes complicated to adopt. Consequently, we established three quantifiable research outcomes that will allow us to assess if persuasive technology is appropriate for eradicating malaria-related deaths. We utilize participatory system design (PSD) and User-Centered methods to collect data from research. The participants provided answers to well-designed questionnaires that were used to gather information to analyze the impact of persuasive technology on the prevention and control of malaria-related deaths. The modeling of the intervention system uses the information gathered from the research survey. The Malaria Prevention and Control Support System (MPCSS), an intervention system, was developed and deployed as part of the research in three phases, and its effectiveness was assessed by an evaluation study. The study revealed that applying the suggested persuading technology-based methodology boosted ownership of mosquito nets, involvement in malaria prevention and control activities, and understanding of the risk of malaria-related mortality.

Authors: Peng Ruiqi
Published: December 2023

Many second language acquisition (SLA) studies are conducted with large amount of language data. To explore the features and trends of SLA from the perspective of English learners, studies based on learner corpus are in great demand. Therefore, taking advantage of discourses in a learner corpus and a reference corpus, this research focused on the similarities and differences in the use of enumerative connectives in English writing between Chinese English learners and native speakers so as to identify the characteristics of the interlanguage of Chinese English learners. It was discovered that there was a significant difference in the use of enumerative connectives between Chinese English learners and native speakers, which was further believed to be intensely connected to the cognitive processes that shape interlanguage linguistic systems.
THE COST OF HIDDEN HISTORIES: CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON QUALITATIVE METHODS
Authors: Lall Acarya
Published: December 2023

Research tools can play a critical role in unearthing hidden and invisibilized narratives within the global equality discourse. In social anthropology, non-quantitative methods hold the key to yielding robust and universalizable insights. This is particularly relevant when attempting to equitably capture extra-economic phenomena like care labor, informal labor, and undocumented labor. By examining studies and literature within these vulnerable spaces, this paper aims to shed light on how marginalized groups often get overlooked in quantitative analyses of labor dynamics. The importance of taking into account their experiences and perspectives cannot be overstated, as it has direct implications for policymaking and social intervention. This study, through a comprehensive review of existing literature, intends to highlight the limitations of quantitative methods in capturing the nuances of these labor experiences and explore qualitative approaches that can help correct such oversights. By amplifying the voices and stories of those typically silenced, this research hopes to contribute to a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of global equality
