Published: August 2024

Rice fields are the leading supplier of rice in Indonesia. The conversion of rice fields is a severe problem that needs to be addressed to support food security. This study aims to formulate a strategy to control the conversion of rice fields in Pematangsiantar City. We conducted a comprehensive SWOT analysis, identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to control rice field conversion. This analysis was based on focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with 24 key respondents. Based on the evaluation matrix of internal and external factors and the strategy matrix, the strategies to control rice field conversion are aggressive (SO strategy), adaptive (WO strategies), and competitive (ST strategies). The main strategies are regulatory consistency, incentive, and disincentive systems, preparation of LP2B Perda, consistency in issuing non-agricultural sector permits, and institutional capacity building of rice farmers. This research is the latest comprehensive study in formulating control strategies for rice field conversion in Pematangsiantar City. The contribution is a strategy that can be used as an action program to control the conversion of rice fields. Implementing the strategy requires technical and political will from all stakeholders, especially local government, legislators, and farmers.

Published: August 2024

El comedor universitario del Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Valle de Bravo, Estado de México, es un servicio de alimentos esencial para estudiantes, docentes y trabajadores administrativos de la institución, sin embargo, dada la alta demanda se presentan largos tiempos de espera para atender a los comensales en las horas pico. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del proyecto fue diseñar una propuesta de logística para optimizar el tiempo de atención al cliente. La investigación se realizó de marzo a diciembre, 2022. En la primera etapa se realizó un diagnóstico del servicio, donde se analizó la distribución de áreas, rutas del flujo de personas, tiempo para ordenar, tiempo de preparación, tiempo de entrega y tiempo de consumo de alimentos. La información se recolectó mediante observación y aplicación de encuestas. En la segunda etapa se generó la propuesta de distribución de áreas y las estrategias para optimizar la atención a clientes. Los resultados indican que el día de la semana con mayor saturación de clientes es el martes, mientras que, el viernes se presenta la menor aglomeración de personas. Se observaron filas los puntos de toma de orden y entrega de alimentos. El tiempo desde la orden hasta la entrega de alimentos fue de 19 minutos y el tiempo de consumo fue de 18 minutos; 37 minutos en total. A los estudiantes se les asigna de 15 a 20 minutos para tomar sus alimentos por lo cual, de acuerdo con los resultados, no es suficiente. La propuesta de mejora se centró en la reubicación del área de atención a clientes, entrega de alimentos y área de consumo. Así como la implementación de áreas de autoservicio y cobro automático. En conclusión, la propuesta logística generada es una alternativa viable para optimizar el servicio que ofrece la cafetería universitaria y reducir los tiempos de espera en la atención al cliente.

PRAGMATIC POTENTIAL OF THE DOUBLE PERFECT FORM IN DANISH
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Krylova Elvira
Published: August 2024

The article examines the usage and meaning of the double perfect form, increasingly prevalent in colloquial speech and social media in Denmark. In this work, the double perfect form is understood as the grammatical form of the perfect, derived from the perfect infinitive form of the Danish verb (at købe ‘to buy’ — har købt; at have købt — har haft købt). The article aims to delineate the functional and semantic characteristics of this verb form and its contextual usage. One of the meanings of the classical form of the Danish perfect is the resultative meaning, the action of which is relevant at the time of speech. However, the material shows that speakers mostly use predicates in the form of the double perfect to introduce the meaning of the result, which was achieved in the past but later reversed. The use of the double perfect form may signal the absence — at the moment of speech — of the result expected by the speaker from the action taken in the past, e. g., “somebody bought something, but later returned”. The double perfect may also indicate the absence, at the time of speaking, of the outcome anticipated by the speaker from the action performed in the past, e. g., “somebody bought it but didn’t use it”. The article concludes that the primary function of the double perfect form in Danish is the temporal distancing of the speaker from the non-relevant past, while the pragmatic and discursive functions involve marking the present as relevant and focusing the listener’s attention on it.
CORPUS AS A SOURCE OF DATA ON CATEGORIZATION PROCESSES: ANALYTIC DEIXIS IN DANISH
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nikulicheva Dina
Published: August 2024

This article aims to show the potential of corpus research for observing the dynamic processes of grammatical categorization in modern Danish. The study focuses on the functioning of secondary demonstrative pronouns formed by combinations of deictic pronouns with adverbs of spatial localization. These are combinations of proximal deixis pronouns (denne, dette, disse) or distal deixis pronouns (den, det, de) with adverbs of proximal (her) or distal (der) spatial localization. The study proposes a four-step empirical research methodology to investigate the functional features of Danish binomial demonstrative pronouns. This methodology includes:1. the analysis of the four possible combinatorial variants of deictic binomials; 2. evaluation of contextual frequency and semantics of each combinatorial model using the corpus of the modern Danish language — Korpus.dk; 3. establishment of invariant semantics for each considered combinatorial model; 4. generalisation of these invariant meanings within a single paradigm. Statistical and contextual analyses of corpus material make it possible to explain the frequency of some and the obsolescence of other types and to trace the formation of a three-term opposition of analytical pronouns expressing, respectively: the subjective localization of the object of deixis within the speaker’s personal space (dette her), mutually compatible perception of the object by all communicants (det her) and the subjective distancing of the object of deixis from the speaker (det der).
GRAMMAR OF IMPERSONALITY IN GERMAN SCIENTIFIC TEXTS: THE ANALYSIS OF HERMANN PAUL’S “PRINCIPLES OF LANGUAGE HISTORY” 1880)
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Babenko Natalia
Published: August 2024

The theoretical work “Principles of Language History” by Hermann Paul extensively employs impersonal constructions, providing a thorough understanding of the diverse linguistic tools utilized to express impersonality in German scientific discourse. Moreover, it offers valuable insights into the evolving grammar of the German language. Impersonality, a prominent feature in German, is conveyed through specific linguistic mechanisms that represent actions in their abstract form, often without an explicit agent in the sentence’s semantic structure. This linguistic characteristic of impersonality in German differs significantly from the functioning of this category in the Russian language. The article discusses the broad grammatical potential of the pronominal form ‘es’, which, owing to its indefinite-personal semantics, acts as the principal indicator of the category of impersonality. Impersonal ‘es’ is utilized across a broad spectrum of syntactic structures, varying in structural complexity and idiomaticity, a trait observed across all registers of the German language. Notably, the interpretation of ‘es’ in Vladimir Admoni’s conception receives special attention, emphasizing the multifaceted functions of ‘es’ as an essential grammatical problem in the German language that necessitates comprehensive analysis.
ON THE MAIN TRENDS IN THE STUDY OF SMALL GENRES OF GERMAN FOLKLORE: THE EXAMPLE OF CHARM TEXTS
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Karpov Vladimir
Published: August 2024

The article presents an overview of methods used to analyze German charms as a unique genre of folklore. In comparison to the methodology used to study Slavic charms in Russia, the tradition of systematization and description of similar texts in Germany demonstrates fundamental differences in approaches to analyzing the material. The article identifies the most significant trends in the study of charms observed in recent decades and summarizes some preliminary results. The focus is on publications by German authors who examine specific types of charms from a diachronic or synchronic perspective and explore their typological, sociolinguistic, and textual aspects. Articles by Russian researchers are included for comparison, as they examine German charms in relation to the establishment of European, primarily Balto-Slavic, typological universals. Comparative analysis reveals that Slavic charms are described in great detail, taking into account a variety of plots, motifs, dialectological, and areal-typological features. In contrast, the works of German colleagues are fragmented, lacking practical material and a systematic view of charms as an integral genre of folklore. Currently, significant efforts are being made to digitize handwritten collections of charms from archives that have long been inaccessible to researchers. The availability of large electronic collections of charms will eliminate some of the methodological shortcomings and bring the study of the extensive folklore heritage to a new level.
METHOD OF LEXICAL-CONTEXTUAL APPLICATION AND REAPPLICATION AND POSSIBILITIES OF ITS USE IN COGNITIVE, TRANSLATION AND CONTRASTIVE STUDIES
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yakovenko Yekaterina
Published: August 2024

The paper describes the method of lexical-contextual application and re-application, proposed by the author for an analysis of the vocabulary of biblical texts (sources and translations) and applied to contrasting any original text and its translation or multiple translations. The method consists in the application of microcontexts of keywords of the source text on the translation, the analysis of their equivalents, and the subsequent application, that is, reapplication, of all the microcontexts of the resulting equivalents onto the source text alongside with the study of the coincidences and non-coincidences. Discrepancies revealed in the course of the forward and back application are taken into consideration. The method is aimed at outlining nominative fields of concepts, determining the types of equivalence between words of the source text and its translation, and describing their semantics. The method can be used in cognitive, translation and, generally, contrastive studies and is effective in the analysis of any semantically related texts.

Small rural tourism businesses’ experience of the COVID-19 Tourism Relief Fund: A case of Coffee Bay
Authors: Setokoe Tshepiso Jonathan
Published: August 2024

The rapid spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has brought economies around the world to a complete halt. Given the restrictive measures implemented by governments to mitigate the damage caused by the virus, many sectors of the economy have been severely affected, with tourism being one of the hardest hit. This article aims to explore and evaluate the experiences of small tourism businesses operating on the outskirts in relation to the Tourism Relief Fund provided by the South African government during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing from an interpretive research paradigm, the study adopted a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews to gather data. The resulting data was then analysed using NVivo version 12, which generated a comprehensive observation report. The findings indicated that the South African government made concerted efforts to assist tourism businesses in surviving the worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century. However, the findings also revealed numerous shortcomings that confirmed existing literature, particularly with regard to unconstitutional qualifying criteria. Furthermore, the study found that businesses, especially informal ones that cater to tourists and provide employment, were frustrated by their ineligibility for the Tourism Relief Fund due to qualifying criteria such as registration. In conclusion, the study recommends that the government and policymakers implement more flexible transformation policies, especially during times of crisis.

Authors: Máté Szilveszter
Published: August 2024

Aim: The aim of the publication is to demonstrate the usability of ChatGPT, which is widely available free of charge and quickly gaining popularity, at a general user level in the field of law enforcement theory and police science.
Methodology: The paper shows the limitations and potential of the program by providing direct instructions to the system and the texts generated by the program without any changes, and by briefly explaining them.
Findings: The revolutionary rise of artificial intelligence, in particular the general availability of large language models, has a major impact on police theory and could be a driver of future change, with both opportunities and threats. Artificial intelligence can play a major role in the scientific development of police theory, including all aspects of the establishment of law enforcement (professional publications, university education, professional organisations, tradition), but this requires the commitment of those working in the field. The programme under consideration currently has its limitations, but the exponential development that is expected will challenge the science of law enforcement theory, as well as law enforcement itself.
Value: On the one hand, the author hopes that the publication will bring artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT, to prospective users who are eager to try and exploit it in their scientific work. On the other hand, it draws attention to the limitations of the current version of the programme.
Coexistence of Antisunward and Sunward Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Near-Sun Solar Wind: Excitation by the Proton Cyclotron Instability
Authors: Shi Chen , Zhao Jinsong , Liu Si , Xiao Fuliang , Wu Yifan , Bowen Trevor A. , Livi Roberto , Bale S. D.
Published: August 2024

Based on observations from the Parker Solar Probe in the near-Sun solar wind, this study identifies an ion-scale wave event characterized by two distinct frequency bands. The lower-band waves exhibit right-hand polarization, while the upper-band waves have left-hand polarization. Alongside these waves, there are clear indications of the existence of both proton core and beam components, with the perpendicular temperature being higher than the parallel temperature in the measured proton velocity distribution functions (VDFs). Utilizing the plasma parameters derived from typical proton VDFs, instability analyses are conducted to investigate the mode nature of the observed waves and their excitation mechanism. The lower-band waves are identified as sunward ion cyclotron waves (ICWs), generated through the proton beam cyclotron instability; the upper-band waves are recognized as antisunward ICWs, induced by the proton core cyclotron instability. This study provides the first direct observational evidence confirming the presence of counterpropagating ICWs and proton cyclotron instability in the solar wind.

Published: August 2024

Subterranean arthropods are important components of soils and contribute essential food-web functions and other ecosystem services, however, their diversity and community composition has scarcely been assessed. Subterranean pitfall traps are a commonly used method for sampling soil habitats in Europe but have never been widely implemented in the Americas. We used subterranean pitfall traps to sample previously unsurveyed arthropod communities in southwestern Virginia, U.S. Traps were placed in shallow subterranean habitats (SSHs), underground habitats close to the surface where light does not penetrate, and more specifically at the interface between the soil and underlying “milieu souterrain superficiel”—a microhabitat consisting of the air-filled interstitial spaces between rocks (abbreviated MSS). In total, 2,260 arthropod specimens were collected constituting 345 morphospecies from 8 classes, 33 orders, and 94 families. A region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene was amplified and sequenced, and objective sequence clustering of 3% was used to establish molecular operational taxonomic units (mOTUs) to infer observed species richness. In all, 272 COI barcodes representing 256 mOTUs were documented for rare soil-dwelling arthropod taxa and are published to build a molecular library for future research in this system. This work is the first taxonomically extensive survey of North American soil-dwelling arthropods greater than 10 cm below the soil surface.
Green bonds, transition to a low-carbon economy, and intertemporal welfare allocation: Evidence from an extended DICE model
Authors: Orlov Sergey , Rovenskaya Elena , Puaschunder Julia , Semmler Willi
Published: August 2024

Short-term reductions in social welfare, expected to be caused by a currently imposed carbon tax, are among the obstacles to a rapid transition to a low-carbon economy. Using an extended DICE model, we studied the potential of green bonds to both accelerate this transition and smoothen welfare losses and gains in a socially optimal way. We showed that green bonds can indeed accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy and that lower interest rates on bonds speed up this acceleration. Moreover, bonds can reduce short-term welfare losses; however, to eliminate welfare losses, additional compensation mechanisms are needed. For example, bonds at a 3% interest rate can decrease the peak atmospheric carbon concentrations by about 20% and shorten the initial time, during which society is worse off from 75 to 45 years. Retaining at least the same consumption level as in the no-mitigation scenario, without using bonds, is possible only through a decrease in abatement efforts. Green bonds of sufficiently low interest rates allow improving intertemporal welfare as well as achieving a more pronounced climate change mitigation with respect to both mitigation and no-mitigation scenarios without bonds.

The expansivity of the multivalued map sequence $\bar{f}_{1, \infty}: \mathcal{H}(X) \to \mathcal{H}(X)$, including expansivity, positive $\aleph_0$-expansivity, were investigated. Also, stronger forms of sensitivities, such as multi-sensitivity and syndetical sensitivity, were explored. This research demonstrated that some chaotic properties can be mutually derived between $(f_{1, \infty}, X)$ and $(\bar{f}_{1, \infty}, \mathcal{H}(X))$, showing fundamental similarities between these systems. Conversely, the inability to derive other properties underlined essential differences between them. These insights are crucial for simplifying theoretical models and enhancing independent research. Lastly, the relationship between expansivity and sensitivity was discussed and the concept of topological conjugacy to the system $ (\bar{f}_{1, \infty}, \mathcal{H}(X)) $ was extended.

This study examined the estimations of Weibull distribution using progressively first-failure censored data, under the assumption that removals follow the beta-binomial distribution. Classical and Bayesian approaches for estimating unknown model parameters have been established. The estimations included scale and shape parameters, reliability and failure rate metrics as well as beta-binomial parameters. Estimations were considered from both point and interval viewpoints. The Bayes estimates were developed by using the squared error loss and generating samples for the posterior distribution through the Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique. Two interval estimation approaches are considered: approximate confidence intervals based on asymptotic normality of likelihood estimates and Bayes credible intervals. To investigate the performance of classical and Bayesian estimations, a simulation study was considered by various kinds of experimental settings. Furthermore, two examples related to real datasets were thoroughly investigated to verify the practical importance of the suggested methodologies.
