Published: February 2025

Objectives The purpose of this research is to explore the role of a NEST (Native English Speaking Teacher) teacher identity development during teaching experience for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students in the local university context in Korea according to four self-efficacy elements based on Bandura (1997)’s theory.
Methods Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews, class observations and reflective journals for around two years which was between March 2021 to November 2023. Two student participants were Koreans, who are typical EFL students and the focal teacher was a native English speaker from America, who has taught EFL course for almost 18 years.
Results The findings of the study highlighted the two aspects of the results. (1) the multidimensional teacher identity related to the four self-efficacy sources was shown through contextual environment, classroom the management of the class, and instructional strategies in the local university context in Korea. 2)The researchers found out the NEST employed practically pedagogical strategies in order to teach EFL undergraduate students in the given context.
Conclusions The findings specifically revealed the following categories influenced the relation between the NEST and EFL students academic language learning: teacher’s language knowledge, intrinsic teaching methods based on teaching experience, teacher’s attitude towards EFL students related to his TSE. This study proposes pedagogical implications for NEST teachers who teach EFL students at the contexts of university in a foreign country.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Eom Yoogyung
Published: February 2025

Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore practical operation plans for the major autonomous selection system that are suitable for university settings, based on the results of analysis of university members' perceptions and needs regarding the operation of the major autonomous selection system.
Methods To achieve the purpose of the study, an online survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire targeting members of University A. The collected data were subjected to ‘Importance-Practice Analysis(IPA)’, ‘Borich needs Analysis’, and ‘The Locus for Focus Model Analysis’, and the results were synthesized to analyze the perception of University A members' major selection system.
Results First, in the IPA analysis, 2 items (career course contents that helps career exploration and major decision-making, an administrative management organization) were classified as ‘Concentrate here’ area, with high importance but low performance. The priority order according to Borich's needs includes ‘career course contents’, ‘administrative management organization’, ‘communication support with seniors, juniors, and classmates’. The Locus for Focus model analysis revealed that the HH area consisted of 4 items, including ‘career course contents’, ‘career counseling’, ‘administrative management organization’, ‘communication support with seniors, juniors, and classmates’.
Conclusions Based on the results of this study, in order to successfully operate a major autonomous selection system at University A, first, educational content that can foster students' autonomy to explore their own career paths, and second, provide students with opportunities to explore various majors. It is suggested that educational content that covers the basics of majors that can be done, and an administrative support system that can take full charge of managing students who entered the program through the self-selecting major system should be established.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Hwang Youngsik
Published: February 2025

Objectives In this study, we design and examine the feasibility of a conceptual model on the meaning and characteristics of university consolidation and restructuring and its direction.
Methods First, we review domestic and overseas cases and characteristics related to university restructuring. In addition, the characteristics of 205 domestic universities are analyzed through university indicators on the University Information System over the past three years (2021-2023) to suggest the direction of long-term restructuring. For this purpose, literature analysis, case studies, and technical analysis methods of university indicators are utilized.
Results The results of the study show that universities with successful restructuring experience first clearly present the purpose of organizational restructuring, that consolidation, etc. function as a trigger for more realistic restructuring, and that when internal integration takes priority, eventually It can be seen that successful integration with other organizations can be implemented.
Conclusions The research results show the restructuring of domestic universities to adapt to changes in the educational environment, and suggest that innovation in internal structure and linkage with external organizations should be diverse according to the characteristics of each university. Based on this, we discuss the characteristics and nature of restructuring according to university type.

Second, job stress research trend was the most common, and over time in general job, it was subdivided into teacher's job stress by job type and target, such as childcare teacher and kindergarten teacher, which showed the same trend in parenting stress and program research trend. Third, research trend analysis data was most frequently conducted on 50-100 papers published for 10-20 years, and the Korea Educational and Research Information Service(RISS) was the most used for data search, and classification criteria are set in various ways according to research purpose and research problem. Fourth, through the analysis of stress research trends, the need to diversify topics and objects, the bias of quantitative research, the activation of program development, and the absence of theoretical research were pointed out.
Conclusions Based on these analysis results, it was discussed that interdisciplinary studies are required in stress research and that various studies focusing on the functional aspects of stress are needed.
Career Perceptions and Occupational Aspirations of Korean Adolescents Regarding K-pop Idols
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Choi Ji-Eun , Cho Yong-Sun
Published: February 2025

Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore the career perceptions and occupational aspirations of Korean adolescents regarding K-pop idols, in order to understand the changes in their vocational values and preferences.
Methods To achieve this, a survey was conducted among 316 adolescents aged 13 to 15 nationwide, from December 4 to December 14, 2023. The survey consisted of questions about career perceptions and occupational aspirations related to K-pop idols. The analysis of the survey responses was performed using frequency analysis.
Results The research findings indicate that, first, adolescents recognize that systematic training, information, and appearance are important for debuting as a K-pop idol. They perceive that it is difficult to succeed as an idol due to challenges such as appearance, performance, and musical talent, as well as the instability of the profession. In particular, the negative impacts of unmet public expectations and malicious comments were found to be significant reasons for the cessation of activities, leading to hesitation in choosing a career as an idol. Secondly, regarding occupational aspirations for K-pop idols, adolescents express a high preference for idols as figures that bring joy and happiness, but show limited consideration of idol careers. When they do consider it as a career, their motivations are primarily based on aptitude and interest. Additionally, the main aspirational motivations for wanting to become an idol include attractive appearance and style, music, and dance, while the obstacles identified are long training periods and an uncertain future.
Conclusions This study reveals that while Korean adolescents admire the dance and performances of idols, very few consider idol careers as viable options due to perceived low feasibility. This indicates that adolescents take into account not only curiosity, interest, and admiration in their career choices but also a wide range of factors such as their own talents, aptitudes, and characteristics. Therefore, it is essential for schools and the government to provide adolescents with information about various professions. This will help guide them toward selecting aspirational yet feasible careers aligned with their talents and abilities, along with the necessary support.

Authors: Costa Carolina Moreira da , Florêncio Cybelle Bezerra Sousa , Martins Pedro Henrique de Farias , Silva Simone Souza da Costa
Published: February 2025

Sexual violence against children and adolescents with disabilities is a current criminal act. This study aims to characterize and describe research that investigated sexual violence against children and adolescents with disabilities from 2010 to 2022. For this, an integrative literature review was carried out, of a qualitative and quantitative nature, based on the analysis of data collected from studies related to the theme, in databases and portals. After the refinement process, 11 studies were obtained that discussed the issue of sexual violence against children and adolescents with disabilities. Of these, most studies presented teenagers of both sexes as potential victims, and people with intellectual/mental disabilities as the most aggravated by sexual violence. The review also pointed out that sexual violence against this population is mostly characterized by forced sexual abuse with penetration. The association of this population with vulnerability due to disability confirms the need for public policies that protect people with disabilities who are in the period of childhood and adolescence.
The logic of the “reverse account”: real estate profitability and public interest in the PIU Vila Leopoldina-Villa-Lobos urban project in São Paulo
Authors: Almeida Isadora Marchi de , Santoro Paula Freire
Published: February 2025

This paper investigates changes in the logic underpinning the use of urban incentives in the form of inclusive housing policies, relating the relevant literature to the case study of the Vila Leopoldina-Villa-Lobos Urban Intervention Project (PIU-VL) in São Paulo-SP. The case reveals a shift in the mechanisms of municipal financing in which the traditional model of capturing the surplus value calculated from the available building potential of the territory has been transformed into an “inverse account”, in which the cost of executing public interest interventions (primarily housing) becomes the amount of surplus value to be captured. The paper concludes that the “inverse account” aligns with the dynamics of public-private partnerships, poses risks of subordinating public interest to the logics of the real estate and finance, and is structured around private real estate profitability not only as a foundational element, but above all, as a limiting factor for public-interest interventions, thereby weakening the commitments of the public authorities toward the affected population.

Authors:   , Vieira Giovanna Alessandra Salvador , Garcia Nubia Luisa Alvares
Published: February 2025

A ressonância magnética (RM) é um método de diagnóstico por imagem que utiliza fortes campos magnéticos para produzir imagens detalhadas do corpo humano sem a exposição à radiação ionizante, sendo amplamente valorizada na medicina moderna pela precisão e segurança. Desde sua introdução, a RM tem sido fundamental para o diagnóstico e acompanhamento de inúmeras condições médicas, diferenciando tecidos com alta precisão e possibilitando a revelação precoce de alterações no corpo humano. No entanto, seu uso exige rigorosos protocolos de segurança devido a força do campo magnético, que tem capacidade de provocar deslocamento e aquecimento de implantes metálicos, além de complicações em pacientes com dispositivos cardíacos. Para mitigar esses riscos, a RDC 611/2022 da ANVISA estabelece normas para a operação segura de equipamentos de RM, incluindo diretrizes de zoneamento, programas de qualidade e exigências de treinamento especializado para os profissionais do setor. Esta revisão de literatura examina as práticas de segurança em RM, ressaltando as adaptações e regulamentações necessárias para garantir a proteção de pacientes e profissionais. Apesar dos avanços, a capacitação contínua e a conscientização sobre essas normas de segurança ainda representam desafios importantes. Assim reforçando a necessidade de atualizações constantes, tanto tecnológicas quanto regulamentares, para assegurar o uso eficaz e seguro da RM na prática médica, maximizando seus benefícios no diagnóstico e tratamento de diversas condições.

Quantum correlations and fisher information in multipartite two-level system under Kerr medium effect
Authors: Almalki Shaimaa , Ibrahim Muhammad , Anwar Jamal , Ilyas Muhammad , Khalek Sayed , Albogami Tahani , Khan Khalid
Published: February 2025

This paper investigates the evolution of global quantum discord (GQD) and
quantum Fisher information (QFI) of the interaction of multiple two-level
atomic systems (TLS) with a single thermal field mode and a non-linear Kerr
medium (NLKM) considering the cases of intrinsic decoherence and its
absence. Results indicate that increasing the number of atomic systems (N)
while maintaining the NLKM parameter constant ? leads to higher GQD and QFI
values for both intrinsic intrinsic decoherence cases. With rising ?, the
GQD values decrease but the oscillation rate of the GQD increases. The
presence of intrinsic decoherence does not significantly reduce the GQD
quasi-static value compared to the no-decoherence scenario for certain ?
values. At the same time, a different trend is observed for higher ? values.
The average QFI value rises with reduced oscillation amplitudes for higher
? values and larger N subsystems. Unlike the GQD, higher ? values aid in
maintaining average QFI in the presence of intrinsic decoherence. For moving
TLS, changing ? does not alter the oscillation periods of the GQD and QFI.
The GQD values decrease with increased ? in the moving system case, while
the QFI improves with higher ? values. Additionally, higher average thermal
photons within the system suppress the GQD and QFI values and decrease
oscillation amplitudes for both quantifiers.

Published: February 2025

This article investigates the uniqueness of the solution for the conjugation
problem of third-order PDE with a characteristic line and its application in
neural network regularization. A theorem on the uniqueness of the solution
for the considered class of equations is proven. Based on the obtained
theoretical results, a novel neural network regularization method is
developed that accounts for the physical constraints of the problem. A
comparison is made between the classical finite difference method and an
innovative approach based on physics-informed neural networks. Numerical
experiments demonstrated that the proposed method provides higher accuracy
and better adherence to the physical constraints of the problem. The
regularized neural networks exhibited lower mean square error, better
compliance with conjugation conditions, and higher resilience to input data
variations compared to classical methods and standard neural networks. The
research opens new perspectives for integrating classical mathematical
methods with modern machine learning technologies.

Published: February 2025

OBJECTIVE

This study examined the association between diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at type 1 diabetes diagnosis and long-term glycemic outcomes, insulin requirements, BMI SDS, and diabetes technology uptake in youth.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Data were from nine countries (Austria, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Slovenia, Switzerland, and U.S. [Colorado]), including youth (0.5–15.9 years) diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2019–2020 and followed for 2 years thereafter. Participants were divided into three groups: no DKA, nonsevere, and severe DKA at diagnosis. HbA1c, insulin requirements, BMI SDS, and use of technology, including automated insulin delivery (AID), were assessed.

RESULTS

The analysis included 9,269 individuals (54.8% males, mean age 9.0 years). DKA at diagnosis was observed in 34.2% of participants and severe DKA in 12.8%. After 1 year, adjusted mean HbA1c was higher in the severe DKA group (7.41%) compared with nonsevere DKA (7.23%, P = 0.001) and no DKA groups (7.14, P < 0.001), and this difference persisted after 2 years (7.58% vs. 7.38% [P < 0.001] and vs. 7.32% [P < 0.001]). Higher BMI SDS was observed in both DKA groups compared with no DKA. The use of AID was associated with lower HbA1c levels compared with other treatment modalities and moderated differences between DKA groups after 2 years of follow-up (P = 0.072).

CONCLUSIONS

Severe and nonsevere DKA at type 1 diabetes diagnosis were both associated with persistently higher HbA1c and higher BMI SDS. AID use diminishes the association of DKA at diagnosis and higher HbA1c over time.

Published: February 2025

Background: A national stroke care pathway aiming at reducing time delays in stroke care was implemented in Norway in 2018. This study aimed to investigate the impact of goal attainment in the pre- and intrahospital care pathway on self-perceived health 3 months after stroke.
Methods: Data from the Norwegian Stroke Register (NSR) from 2019 were used. Patients were classified into attainment or non-attainment groups, depending on goal achievement of the SCP. Linear regression analyses were used to assess a possible association between goal attainment and self-perceived health evaluated by EQ-5D-5L and EQ-VAS at 3 months post-stroke.
Results: Among 4,133 included patients, 908 (22%) were included in the attainment group. We found no effect of goal attainment upon mean EQ-5D-5L. However, when adjusting for stroke severity, attaining the SCP was significantly associated with self-perceived health.
Conclusion: In this study, with a cohort of patients with mild to moderate strokes, we found no association between attaining goals of the stroke care pathway and self-perceived health. However, stroke severity might have acted as a suppressor variable underscoring the importance of stroke severity for self-perceived health.

Relasi Mitos terhadap Pelestarian Lingkungan Hidup dalam Dua Novel Anak Okky Madasari: Tinjauan Antropologi Sastra
Authors: Burhanuddin Ahmad
Published: February 2025

The environment is important for human life. Most environmental damage is caused by humans because humans play an important role in determining the future of the environment. Local communities have ways of utilizing natural rights to protect the environment, one of which is through environmental myths. Through myths, society builds a culture that is useful for environmental sustainability. Okky Madasari's novel highlights myths that play an important role in environmental sustainability. These myths function to dispel crimes against the environment from irresponsible human behavior. This research aims to look for the relationship between myth and environmental sustainability contained in two novels by Okky Madasari, namely Mata di Tanah Melus and Mata and Laut Man. This type of research is qualitative. This research was carried out using a literary anthropology approach by studying the myths in Okky Madasari's two novels and then describing the positive relationship of these myths to environmental sustainability. Data collection techniques use library techniques. The data analysis technique uses content analysis techniques. The results of this research explain that myths have a role in environmental conservation efforts. The relationship between myth and environmental sustainability is a consideration for humans to always maintain a good relationship with nature because in essence humans are only a small part of the ecosystem. In the novel Mata di Tanah Melus, the myth about Bei Nai, or the Crocodile God is found. Fear of Bei nai figures can limit the level of crocodile hunting. In the novel Mata and the Sea Man, a myth is also found about the prohibition of fishing on full moon nights, because on that night many fish breed. With this myth, the fish breeding cycle is maintained.
Mitos Kecantikan Perempuan dalam Novel Lalita karya Ayu Utami
Authors: Pangesti Nesa Riska , Putri Delsa Jelita , Rasyid Yulianti , Hiasa Fina
Published: February 2025

This research aims to reveal the myth of female beauty in the novel Lalita by Ayu Utami. Beauty is one of the most important factors in a woman's appearance. Psychologically, beauty is associated with intelligence, knowledge, and education. Physically, female beauty can be assessed through body shape, skin color, hair color, nose shape, eye shape, and other attributes. This study employs descriptive analysis using content analysis methods. The results show that beauty has become a normative standard and a feminist perspective that continues to be imposed on women. Different definitions of beauty exist within various social groups, as the concept of beauty is ultimately a social construction. Consequently, an obsession with achieving perfect beauty has emerged, driven by the desire for social recognition. This obsession is termed the beauty myth, which leads to women's loss of control over their own bodies. Additionally, due to the prevalence of beauty myths, women unconsciously experience both physical and psychological agitation. Such myths are perpetuated in society as tools to attract consumers.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the "Ladder of Success" training on self-efficacy, public speaking anxiety and achievement goal orientation academic.The subjects in this study were 15 students in each experimental and control group. The experimental research design used was a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The measuring instruments used were the self-efficacy scale, public speaking anxiety, and achievement goal orientation academic. Data analysis was carried out using Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney analysis.The results of this study found that the training was effective and influential in increasing self-efficacy, with a Wilcoxon Z value = -2.673 (p <0.05) and a Mann Whitney value = 52.5 (p <0.05). The average self-efficacy in the experimental group (M = 19.5) was higher than in the control group (M = 11.5). This training is also effective in increasing achievement goal orientation academic with Wilcoxon Z value = -3.126 ( p < 0.01) and Mann Whitney value = 23.5 (p < 0.01). ). The average Achievement goal orientation academic in the experimental group (M = 21.43) is higher than the control group (M = 9.57). However, there is no effect of training on public speaking anxiety in students, with Wilcoxon Z value = -1.915 ( p = 0.056 > 0.05) and Mann Whitney value = 76.5 ( p = 0.135 > 0.05). So, the training has a significant effect on increasing self-efficacy and achievement goal orientation academic students, but is not effective in reducing public speaking anxiety.

Hospitalization is a treatment performed in a hospital and can cause trauma and stress to patients who have recently been hospitalized. This is an experimental research with a quasi-experimental design and a pre-test- post-test approach. The population in this study were 62 cases using a purposive sampling technique. The results showed that the average level of anxiety before giving puzzle therapy was 4.94, the lowest score was 4 and the highest was 6. The average level of anxiety after giving puzzle therapy was 2.6 with the lowest score being 1 and the highest being 3. The results of the statistical test obtained a p value of 0.001, so there was an effect of giving puzzle play therapy on the level of anxiety in preschoolers (4- 5 years) during hospitalization. It is suggested that the hospital can provide health information about the benefits of playing puzzle therapy to the community as a way to reduce anxiety levels in children in patients without side effects

Comparative analysis of different technical solutions for HVAC systems for residential and business facilities is presented in this paper. Traditional systems with central air handling unit (AHU) only, combined systems with central air handling unit (AHU) and fan-coilers and VRF systems are included in the performed analysis. All of the presented systems use heat pumps to produce energy for heating and cooling. Configurations of the analyzed systems and their thermal characteristics are presented. The positive and the negative sides of the presented systems regarding energy efficiency and air quality are thoroughly examined. The direct and indirect heat transfer from the refrigerant to the treated air influences the evaporation and condensation temperatures of the heat pump which are crucial for its energy performance. COP of the systems is calculated for different types of refrig- erants that are commonly used in commercial applications. The different types of heat transfer in the systems that are considered results in difference in exergy dissipation which is discussed using p-h and T-s charts.

Nazaré and Immersive Media: New Approaches to Cultural Heritage through Mixing Old and New Media
Authors: Quico Celia
Published: February 2025

This article focuses on immersive representations of Nazaré, starting with stereoscopic photos from the early 20th century and finishing with 360º videos from the early 21st century. Located in central Portugal, the coastal town of Nazaré has inspired many visual representations by painters, photographers and filmmakers. During the first half of the 20th century, perhaps no other photographer captured Nazaré and its inhabitants as richly as the amateur photographer Álvaro Laborinho (1879-1970), who also experimented with stereoscopic photography. Today, immersive media are somewhat different from these stereoscopic photos, certainly with a greater degree of technological sophistication, but probably with less durability over time, given the quick obsolescence of current immersive technologies. More than a hundred years after the creation of these stereoscopic photos we arrive at 360º videos like Surfing with Pedro Scooby in VR and Nazaré, Mais que Mar é Mulher, produced respectively by Red Bull Brazil and by Marina Oliveto.
Yet another kind of representation is offered by the trans-disciplinary exploratory project Nazaré Imersiva (Nazaré Immersive) from Lusofona University, based on the stereographic photos of Álvaro Laborinho, whose images were remediated and repurposed for the current immersive media technologies. This project aims to contribute towards the promotion of Nazaré’s cultural and natural heritage in an innovative way, mixing traditional and contemporary representation technologies. Furthermore, the project addresses current issues such as pollution and the impact of tourism, challenging its participants to speculate about possible futures for Nazaré – that is to say, for other similar coastal towns in Portugal – and beyond.
The ‘Truth of Sound’: Exploring Immersive Location Sound Recording in Realist Filmmaking
Authors: Whitford Steve
Published: February 2025

This article focuses on the somewhat neglected (at least within scholarly circles) area of location-based sound recording, drawing much-needed critical attention to the intricacies and skills involved in location sound recording within realist filmmaking – both scripted and unscripted. Through my own practice-as-research, I aim to reimagine an ontological definition of location sound recording by proposing that a reinvigoration of the ‘realist’ genre can be achieved by connecting the storytelling skills of recording for single camera with the new opportunities afforded by immersive audio technologies – ambisonics here being a vital part of that development process. I demonstrate how use of such immersive audio technologies offer new creative opportunities for realist makers and audiences, based on the unique experience of geographical place and physical event that immersive audio delivers.

The article discusses general issues related to ensuring vibration reliability of steam turbines, various factors that can cause increased vibration of turbine units, including design, technological, and operational factors. Special interest is given to hidden factors that can be detected only indirectly through analytical methods by studying the complex “turbine unit – foundation – base” (TFB) system. For example, increased stresses in the structure and, accordingly, zones of probable crack development due to seismic subsidence of supports or high vibrations can be detected. Such defects can be the subject of study in so-called predictive analytics. It is shown that ensuring vibration reliability requires a systematic approach. Among the many causes of vibration, it is always necessary to identify the most significant primary causes. Requirements for ensuring reliability at different stages of the creation and operation of a turbine unit are formulated. A stability diagram of the turbine unit is provided, where the stability boundaries are presented for the first time as functions of the main parameter of the working fluid flow through the turbine unit. It is shown that the foundation requirements in RD 34 15.078-91 are outdated and do not meet modern reliability standards for turbine units. The main defects in the assembly of the shaft line are listed, and the primary requirements for the assembly of rotors in half-couplings are formulated. The need for machining bearing liners to create a cylindrical boring surface is emphasized, and scraping the surface for this purpose is not recommended. For the first time, the need for grinding the ends of half-couplings after their deformation due to bolt tightening to half the yield strength is indicated. This is important because residual deformations are detected at the ends of the half-couplings, which hinder the quality of the half-coupling fit.

Published: February 2025

The atomic industry of Russia remains one of the key sectors ensuring the country’s energy security and economic growth. However, with the imposition of international sanctions, the industry has faced serious challenges such as restricted access to technologies and cooperation with traditional partners. In response, the Russian government has actively developed support programs and encouraged the advancement of domestic technologies to ensure the industry’s independence from foreign suppliers.Key support measures have included import substitution programs and innovative developments. Companies like Rosatom have begun creating their own high-tech solutions to replace foreign counterparts. An important area of focus has been the development of small modular reactors (SMRs), which can provide energy to remote regions and enhance the autonomy of the energy infrastructure.The government offers tax benefits and subsidies for acquiring innovative technologies, including digital solutions and artificial intelligence, which enhance managerial efficiency and reduce costs for nuclear power plants. International cooperation with China, India, and Turkey strengthens Russia's position in the global nuclear market. Despite sanctions, the country continues to expand its influence in the nuclear energy sector. The construction of nuclear power plants in Turkey and Bangladesh highlights the industry's export potential.In conclusion, the development of Russia’s atomic industry will depend on its ability to implement innovative technologies, continue international cooperation, and adapt to the challenges posed by sanctions. Government support plays a crucial role in creating the conditions for technological independence; modernizing the industry, and strengthening its competitiveness in the global market.
Evaluation of the efficiency of steam compression heat pumps of the "air-water" type as part of a combined heat supply system

Published: February 2025

Every year, increasing attention is paid to the use of unconventional and renewable energy sources for heating. Promising sources of heat supply are steam compression heat pumps, for which soil, atmospheric air, groundwater, ventilation emissions, etc. are used as low-potential heat sources. Due to its accessibility, air is one of the most common sources of heat for such installations. The efficiency of air heat pumps depends significantly on climatic conditions, and in practice they are used in conjunction with an additional energy source. This study evaluates the efficiency of such a combined system using the example of a heat supply system for a residential building under various climatic conditions in Russia. The coefficient of performance (COP) of a heat pump is considered as the main indicator of its efficiency. The load on the heating system for each region was determined using the thermal balance method. The study utilized the values of the COP obtained from testing. It is established that the average annual COP of the heat pump for the considered climatic conditions ranges from 1.76 to 1.98 when operating the heat supply system with a temperature schedule of 80/60°C, and it functions effectively at this temperature schedule down to an outdoor air of no lower than – 16°C; at lower temperatures, the load is covered by an additional source. In addition, the annual energy costs for operating the heat supply system are calculated, and the distribution of this component between the heat pump (48% – 97.6%) and the additional source is determined. The feasibility of using heat pumps in non-gasified areas is determined by the electricity tariff.

Published: February 2025

The study aims to investigate and analyse the social media, precisely the Instagram activity of several hotels in the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Having been the second most popular destination besides Bali, it is mainly dominated by domestic tourism. Although several governmental institutions exist, the study focuses on the hotel’s activity only. The main purpose was to find, that after the classification of the posts, whether there is a more positive effect of one as opposed to the other type of posts. In addition, it was also important to see if with the time advancing positive effect of likes and comments appear and the relation of hashtags, likes and comments. Data was collected between 1st of January 2023. and 15th of July 2024. The first step was to collect posts done by the suppliers and then the posts were classified. Also, the number of hashtags used were collected. Second step was to collect the response from the demand side by gathering their likes and comments. Data then was analysed with SPSS 24 and JASP program. Results show that while there is no significance on increasing likes and comments with the months advancing, but in terms of the type of the posts there is. Promotional posts with other suppliers tend to bring a lot more comments and likes than self-promotional posts. This study’s main purpose to analyse through social media posts to enhance online networking by local suppliers promoting each other’s products.
