Published: October 2024

El fenómeno del impostor es un fenómeno psicológico en el que las personas dudan de su intelecto, habilidades y logros, sintiéndose falsamente incompetentes. Este fenómeno es especialmente prevalente entre las mujeres en campos dominados por hombres, como la ingeniería. En la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, las mujeres representan solo entre el 10% y el 20% de los estudiantes de ingeniería electrónica, lo que puede intensificar el fenómeno del impostor debido a la escasa representación femenina y los estereotipos de género. Este estudio investiga cómo la composición de género en el aula afecta la autoconfianza, el rendimiento académico y la participación de las estudiantes de ingeniería electrónica. Se llevará a cabo una investigación comparativa entre una clase mixta y una clase exclusivamente femenina de la asignatura Redes Inalámbricas. Durante el primer semestre de 2024, esta clase estuvo compuesta exclusivamente por mujeres, lo que proporcionó una oportunidad única para explorar sus experiencias en un entorno donde no eran minoría. Utilizando métodos de investigación cualitativa y una metodología de indagación narrativa, se recolectarán datos a través de entrevistas y grupos focales. La recolección de datos se enfocará en comparar las experiencias de las estudiantes en la clase mixta del segundo semestre de 2023 con las de la clase exclusivamente femenina del primer semestre de 2024. Los resultados preliminares sugieren que la composición de género en el aula tiene un impacto significativo en la autoconfianza y el bienestar de las estudiantes. A pesar de las limitaciones del estudio por el reducido número de participantes y el enfoque en un solo programa, los resultados pueden ofrecer valiosas reflexiones para mejorar la experiencia educativa y el éxito de las mujeres en la ingeniería.

Authors: Sánchez Uriza Edwin Javier , Ortíz Álvarez Ingrid Carolina , Ruge Ruge Ilber Adonayt
Published: October 2024

La inteligencia artificial (IA) se define como "la ciencia y la ingeniería para crear máquinas o tecnologías inteligentes". Estas tecnologías han sido capaces de imitar el comportamiento humano, como la capacidad de establecer un diálogo, crear un algoritmo, entre otras, pero ahora se conocen como herramientas virtuales capaces de aprender y realizar múltiple tipo de tareas. El termino algoritmo se refiere a una o varias instrucciones específicas para hacer un cálculo o resolver un problema. Si definiéramos la IA simplemente como el uso de algoritmos, podemos decir que la imitación de la inteligencia inherente en los humanos por parte de las computadoras se conoce como inteligencia artificial. La aplicación de generadores de código de IA en entornos de aprendizaje exploratorio ha tenido efectos diversos sobre la participación de los estudiantes y los resultados del aprendizaje. A pesar de que los generadores de código de IA pueden mejorar significativamente el rendimiento de la autoría de código sin reducir la eficiencia de las tareas manuales de modificación de código, hay preocupaciones sobre los efectos perjudiciales de la dependencia excesiva en el aprendizaje y la retención. Además, se ha demostrado que la personalización de contenidos y la automatización de procesos de aprendizaje con tecnología de IA aumentan el compromiso y la motivación de los estudiantes en entornos educativos basados en tecnología. Diversos estudios han demostrado como puede utilizarse esta herramienta de diversas maneras, demostrando su capacidad para mejorar la eficiencia y la precisión en la enseñanza de sistemas de automatización y control. Este artículo muestra la aplicación de la herramienta de inteligencia artificial AI Code Generator en la educación, en particular en el uso de la creación de código para controladores lógicos programables Controllino en el curso de Electrónica industrial del programa de Ingeniería Electrónica de la Universidad pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, Tunja. Con la ayuda de esta herramienta se busca mejorar las técnicas de enseñanza y las experiencias de aprendizaje de los alumnos y lograr cumplir los resultados del aprendizaje establecidos en la asignatura. Recoge el espíritu del uso de la tecnología de la IA para permitir a los educadores proporcionar experiencias educativas personalizadas, eficientes y atractivas a los estudiantes.

Published: October 2024

Research for new alternative early disease detection is relevant in order to improve healthcare. A novel study field in this area are biosensors, where the detection of biomarkers could be useful for disease prevention. Sarcosine has been a topic of study because, out of range, it's associated with prostate cancer. Additionally, it has been discovered that some nanostructures can imitate enzyme-like behavior, which can be applied as transductors in biosensors, and are called nanozymes. In this work, molybdenum trioxide nanozymes were synthetized, which in presence of hydrogen peroxide have peroxidase-like activity. Characterizations such as Raman, XRD, SEM and TEM were carried out. Working synergically, the nanozymes, the sarcosine oxidase enzyme and o-dianisidine were used for making calibration curves and interferent test in order to elaborate a colorimetric sarcosine biosensor.
THE EMERGENCE AND IMPORTANCE OF PILGRIMAGE ROUTES IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE: FROM THE STEPPE REGION TO MECCA
Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Kabdoldina Kerim
Published: October 2024

The article examines the process of the formation of the pilgrimage of Muslims from different re-gions of the Russian Empire to the holy places of Mecca and Medina, emphasizing the imperial policy toward Muslims and their pilgrimage routes. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pilgrimage was important to Muslims, but it also aroused suspicion and apprehension on the part of the authorities. The main purpose of the work is to analyze the conditions of the pilgrimage movement, its problems and the characteristics of the routes. The Russian Empire tried to strengthen its control over the Muslim peoples by creating a consular network and approving official routes. Nevertheless, the growth of rail and sea transportation led to an increase in the number of pilgrims, thanks to a temporary reduction in travel and security. In addition, the article examines in detail the importance of obtaining special Hajj passports for traveling on special state roads, which indicates the moments of bureaucracy of the pilgrimage process at that time. The article clearly shows how Muslims, including Kazakh pilgrims, were able to take advan-tage of new opportunities to fulfill their religious duty.

Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Zhumatayev Rinat , Besetayev Bauyrzhan , Rysbek Bakkeldi
Published: October 2024

The article introduces for the first time the results of archaeological research at the Tastak cemetery in the field season of 2023, located in the southern foothills of the Tarbagatai Range. The mentioned region in archaeological terms is a little-studied region. In the process of field stationary works, recon-naissance of the area was carried out and a topographic plan of the cemetery was taken. Two kurgans (no. 7 and no. 11) were investigated during this period. According to the planographic arrangement of the sites, the structure of the overmound and intra-mound construction, as well as the position and orientation of the burials corresponds to the classical Saka period. Some constructive features of the structure were revealed: stone shell, grave fence. The noted constructive features of the construction can be connected with ancient migration processes in this period. In the course of comparative-typological analysis, which includes a versatile characterisation of the archaeological source, identification of dated analogies, as well as 14C radiocarbon AMS dating, the investigated sites are generally placed in the IV century BC. Despite the fact that the burials were looted earlier, the materials we obtained during the study of the site will certainly make a great contribution to the study of material and spiritual culture of the Saka tribes of East Kazakhstan.

Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the works of researchers providing information about superstitions and prohi-bitions related to the dog, deep roots of hunting with eagle and greyhound which have not lost their importance in the life, farming and cultural life of the Kazakh people from the ethnographic history of the Kazakh steppe in the second half of the XIX and the beginning of the XX centuries that continue to this day. The purpose and task of the research – is to study in the course of a historiographic analysis of the works of researchers that the dog, which as the first domesticated animal played an important role in the life of different nations – also in Kazakh society, as a protector of livestock, guard, in the hunting system – as a source of income and food, from a religious and mythological point of view – as a protec-tor from evil. In the research work, the concept of “dog” is common to Turkic peoples, but there were a number of differences according to the peculiarities of the cultural and economic life of the nomadic Kazakh society, in particular, two types of dogs are common among Kazakhs, that is, “tobet” (dog) which protects livestock in nomadic life, and “tazy” (greyhound) which used in hunting were considered based on the works of A. Bram, A. Scherbak, A. Dobrosmyslov, Ya. Polferov, I. Ibrahimov, M. Masson. As well as, superstitions and rituals related to dogs in the worldview of Kazakhs were studied in the works of A. Divaev, A. Budagov, R. Karutz, S. Abramzon. Conclusion. Analyzing the works of researchers who provided information about the Kazakh dog, it was determined that dog played a significant role in the cultural, historical and economic life of the traditional Kazakh society and there were two types that were widespread in the Kazakh steppe.

The impact of mix marketing strategies on the sales of agricultural products: a
case study in Johor, Malaysia
Authors: Saili A.R. , Bachik N. , Mohammad Azam N.H.
Published: October 2024

This research was conducted to understand the impact of the 7Ps Marketing Mix
Strategies (i.e., product, price, promotion, place, people, physical evidence, and process)
on the sales of agricultural products. The retailers’ perspective of the influence of the
strategies on their sales was analyzed to fully understand the effect that each element has
on sales improvement. Since each of the seven Ps of the marketing mix has a different
impact on sales, which varies from product to product and market to market, each P has a
unique level of influence on sales. This study employed descriptive analysis and multiple
linear regression to achieve the research objectives. The data was collected from 150
agricultural product sellers from different stores in Johor by employing a closed-ended
survey questionnaire. The respondents were selected using convenience sampling, and
the data were analysed through multiple linear regression analysis. It was found that the
majority of the retailers were particularly new in the business with 64.9% of them having
2 to 4 years of experience. The findings also revealed that among the 7Ps marketing mix
strategies, only two strategies, namely place, and people were found not significant in
influencing sales. Moreover, among the five strategies that significantly influenced sales,
the promotion strategy showed the highest influence compared to others. This study can
help sellers or relevant agencies understand the most efficient strategies for increasing
sales of agricultural products, especially in the post-pandemic business environment.

Published: October 2024

One of the potential food ingredients with anti-obesity benefits is hydroxycitric acid
(HCA), which is a derivative of citric acid. It was reported that HCA can be obtained from
fruits of garcinia species. In Malaysia, Garcinia atroviridis commonly known asam
gelugur is a very popular fruit used as a flavouring agent in cooking and for traditional
health care. It was also reported that the G. atroviridis fruits contain hydroxycitric acid
(HCA) and flavonoids which possess remarkable hypolipidemic effects, promoting weight
reduction by reducing lipogenesis and enhancing glycogen formation. Due to the health
benefits, researchers from Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) intended to screen
and identify G. atroviridis genotypes from several populations in Peninsular Malaysia
with a high content of HCA. In this study, the fruits from selected genotypes were
collected from four populations namely i) Tapah, Perak (AGA); ii) Yan, Kedah (AGY);
iii) Bukit Gantang, Perak (AGBG) and iv) Jeli, Kelantan (AGJ). The ripe fruits were
sliced and dried in an oven at 50°C for three days. Dried fruit with a moisture content of
below 10% was finely ground before being analyzed for High-Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC). The amounts of HCA in each genotype showed a variation of
non-detectable to detectable quantities and had an average HCA content in the range of
18.02-28.36% w/w (AGA), 21.91-27.03% w/w (AGY), 5.35-46.66% w/w (AGBG) and
31.65-57.21% w/w (AGJ). A total of 10 out of 69 genotypes have been selected as
desirable genotypes due to acceptable amounts of HCA higher than 50% w/w. These
superior genotypes will be used for clonal propagation and future clone development.

Abstract
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) within the framework of the Preparatory measures for the participation of IPA beneficiaries in the European Food Safety Authority 2023–2026 will organize a total of 3 crisis preparedness training events for the IPA countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo,* Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Türkiye). For 2024, EFSA requested to organise a simulation exercise focused on a multi‐country incident related to biological risks in products of animal origin. The overall objectives of the training were: 1) to increase IPA countries' knowledge and understanding of crisis handling concepts and of EFSA's crisis handling procedures; 2) to improve preparedness and response planning for crisis situations in the domain of biological hazards; 3) to improve coherence, interoperability and coordination, to be prepared for communication and decision‐making challenges in crisis situations. Working with the contractor Opera srl, EFSA organised a 2‐day training on 26–27 June 2024 in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), attended by 24 participants (3 online) from 7 IPA countries, 2 representatives from EFSA and 1 representative from the hosting competent authority from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Participants were briefed on the IPA crisis preparedness training scheme, EFSA's crisis handling procedures, principles of crisis communication (remote mode), EFSA – ECDC Rapid Outbreak Assessment (remote mode), food safety risk assessment structures in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. Most of the workshop was dedicated to the simulation exercise, that was organized in a tabletop format, with injects describing an evolving food safety incident and a debriefing after each inject. During the exercise, 1 audio‐conference meeting and a TV debate were simulated. The exercise was concluded with a brainstorming session between the tutors and participants. Three recommendations were done to improve the organization of future events. Six recommendations were given for the improvement of risk assessment, risk management and risk communication in IPA countries. The objectives were achieved, based on the results of the knowledge test and on the feedback provided by participants in the course evaluation questionnaire.

Culture of Vineyard Roofs as Expression of Rural Architectural in Turkey: Nevsehir Goreme Examples
Authors: Tokat Nişancı Esra
Published: October 2024

Folk architecture actions that define only need-oriented structures built by the society using local materials and local masters; Even though they were built without any concern for sustainability, they been contained important cultural assets in terms of reflecting the social and economic situation of the people. Immovable properties that serve different functions such as vineyard houses, wineries and agricultural warehouses built in the Central Anatolia geography of Turkey, which has fertile lands, have cultural value in the context of expressing the identity of the region in which they are located. In this study, vineyard roofs registered as immovable cultural assets by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism; it was examined in terms of material, technical and stylistic features. These structures, unique to Central Anatolian folk architecture, have been tried to be evaluated in an integrated manner with their architectural features and the conditions of the period in which they were built. The fact that vineyard roofs, which do not have any structural and functional similarities with vineyard houses, have not been the subject of a scientific publication before, was seen as a deficiency in the literature; these structures were cataloged by creating a typology based on the structures identified in Göreme Town and were subject to scientific study. Each of the vineyard roofs included in the study have been examined on site, photographed and measured. Since the vineyard roofs, which were examined with material, technique and decoration details, were seen to follow a certain line on the old vineyard road in Göreme Town; a sample that is significantly located along the route but remains within the borders of Uçhisar District today was also included in the study.
The Effect of the Wall Thickness of the Material Loaded Cavity On the RCS Reduction
Authors: Demiryürek Oğuzhan , Birbir Ünal Filiz
Published: October 2024

In this paper, the effect of a parallel plate waveguide's wall thickness on radar cross-section reduction (RCS) is rigorously analyzed for H-polarization by using the Wiener-Hopf Technique, when the waveguide region is loaded with dielectric material and terminated with a perfect electric conductor (PEC) plate. Transfer matrices are incorporated into the analysis to account for the effect of different material layers through continuity relations. The Fourier transforms of the diffracted field and the boundary conditions yield a modified scalar Wiener-Hopf equation of the second kind (MWHE-2). The classical procedure to solve the MWHE-2 is applied and the approximate expression of the diffracted far field is obtained. Numerical results are given by comparing with the results available in the literature for the case of the wall thickness of the cavity not being considered.

Authors:   Korea Accounting Information Association, Kim Seong-Don , Son Sung-Jin
Published: October 2024

[Purpose]This study analyzed compliance rates of corporate governance indicators in state-owned companies listed on the Korea Exchange under the “Comply or Explain, CoE” framework, comparing them to private companies to evaluate the governance reporting system’s efficacy.
[Methodology]Compliance with 15 key corporate governance indicators for public enterprises listed on the Korea Exchange in 2021 and 2022 was examined, compared to private companies of similar asset size to identify issues and suggest improvements.
[Findings]State-owned companies showed high compliance in board and audit committee areas but lower levels in shareholder domains. Private firms improved compliance yearly but had deficiencies in announcing four weeks before shareholder meetings and establishing independent internal audit departments. Cumulative voting and separating board chair and CEO positions also lacked compliance.
[Implications]The study emphasized strengthening regulations to mitigate conflicts between hard and soft law, requiring systematic explanations for non-compliance. It proposed administrative and financial support to encourage voluntary participation aligning with soft law objectives. Additionally, it highlighted the need to establish governance considering various stakeholders, beyond the traditional shareholder-centric framework, aligning with the shift towards stakeholder capitalism.

Authors:   Institute of East and West Studies Yonsei University, Kim Inchoon , Kim Choong Soon , Choi Jeong Won
Published: October 2024

Various factors and contexts of the low fertility rate in S. Korea, the lowest fertility rate among OECD member countries, have very historical, cultural, and structural characteristics. Therefore, it is important to understand and interpret the deep roots and broad fundamental backgrounds of the low fertility rate. Accordingly, this study has focused on understanding and interpreting the low fertility rate culturally, socially, and psychologically through in-depth interviews with 50 women and men in their 20s to 40s living and working in the Seoul metropolitan area. The common shared narratives and discourses are 1) the importance of individual freedom and personal life - preference for a free life, 2) support and high acceptance of cohabiting families and non-marital childbirth - the need to protect diversity in birth and family, 3) fatigue from the legacy of traditional family/weakening of marriage and childbirth norms/disappearance of social pressure for marriage and childbirth, 4) shortage of high-quality childcare services, high costs of (private) education and housing, 5) low trust and dissatisfaction with the government and uncertainty about the future, etc. We also attempted case analyses by various categories, such as the low-income/low-asset male group, dual-earner group, highly educated professional and high-income female group, and the 20s group’s attitudes toward marriage and childbirth. In addition to socio-economic factors, this paper, which is described and analyzed based on primary data from the in-depth interviews, aims to provide basic data to understand low fertility rate and to suggest policy reforms through qualitative interpretation of various cultural and socio-psychological factors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm value and corporate reputation with gender diversity as a moderating variable in Indonesia and Malaysia.Design/methodology: The method used is a verification method using E-views tools using normality test, model test, regression test and MRA test for moderation testing. The population in this study were included in IDX-MES BUMN 17 and companies included in FTFBHMS. Determination of the sample using purposive sampling, 12 companies in Indonesia and 10 companies in Malaysia were obtained.Findings: The results showed that in sharia companies in Indonesia CSR has a positive and significant effect on firm value and corporate reputation. However, gender diversity is not able to moderate the effect of CSR on firm value and corporate reputation. Different results in the research sample of Islamic companies in Malaysia show a significant positive effect on CSR on firm value and corporate reputation but gender diversity is able to moderate the effect of CSR on firm value and corporate reputation. The greater the gender diversity within the company in important positions can increase the effect of CSR on firm value and corporate reputation. The better companies disclose their CSR, the better the company's reputation will be and can increase the company's value.Practical implications: This study provides evidence that CSR disclosure can improve firm performance and reputation. The findings also provide insight to companies and investors that gender diversity is important because it can increase the influence between CSR and company performance and reputation. The weak role of female directors may make the effect insignificant.Originality/Value: This research extends the study of corporate performance and reputation, and expands its influence with the moderating variable gender diversity. This study explains the link with stakeholder theory and legitimacy theory on performance, corporate reputation, CSR and gender diversity

Human needs consisting of clothing, food, shelter and medicines will increase every year and require services. There are many planning changes in the digital era, so it is necessary to study the location theory of logistics service storage warehouses in the city spatial system. This study aims to identify the characteristics of existing logistics services, examine the determination of the location of existing logistics service storage warehouses and become an opportunity for logistics service players who wish to be located in the region. This study uses location theory for location determination, nearest Neighbour ratio analysis and analytical hierarchical process in determining the criteria and alternative locations for logistics service storage warehouses. The results of the analysis in the identification of characteristics, namely location, company operations, company management, settlement patterns affect the distribution pattern of logistics services. Then the more dominant criterion is the market with the value obtained (0.542) because in carrying out any business activity, you have to see who is the market for the business activities being carried out. At the location of the case study as a sample, namely Jatiraden (0.618) which has the most potential according to criteria related to market, cost, human resources, infrastructure and institutions. The conclusions obtained for operational matters using three-wheeled vehicles in the distribution of logistics services are an alternative in distributing uniform residential areas. More loads and easier mobility because the accessibility of vehicles in uniform residential patterns tends to be wide. Suggestions that can be conveyed in determining the location and making any business activity must be seen from the urban area planning. So that stakeholders can refer to the city's spatial planning system, so that policies made by the government can be compatible and aligned with logistics service companies.

Utilization of aluminum metal powder waste left over from the plate rack which is wasted can apparently provide economic value as raw material for making coagulants. Aluminum powder waste contains 88.74% aluminum. The high aluminum content makes plate rack waste potentially as raw material for the manufacture of polyaluminium chloride (PAC). This study begins with the manufacture of AlCl3 monomers on 4 grams of aluminum metal weight, by varying NaOH concentrations (44, 45, 46, 47 and 48%) and variations in HCl concentrations (31, 32 and 33%). Next the AlCl3 monomer is converted to PAC polymer. The results on variation of 48% NaOH and 32% HCl with pH 3.6 and specific gravity 1.23 g / ml. This result is in accordance with SNI 06-3822-1995 quality standards. This study also tested the ability of PAC to reduce turbidity in well water, with a pH of 4.30 and a decrease in turbidity of 94.94%. Can produce PAC that is more economical and has met the standard qualityof conventional SNI PAC.
