As commonly known, learning is the process of acquiring a new information and memory is preservation of acquired information for later use. The difference in learning and memory capacities between different species and between different individuals of same species directed scientists to research the causes of this. According to commonly accepted approach these differences are due to the distinctions in synaptic alterations. In collaboration with advancing molecular techniques, the formation mechanisms of synaptic alterations, the reasons of differences between them, the changes that occur in neurons during learning and the changes that occur in neurons as a result of memory became popular research subjects nowadays. The researches that has been done are insufficient, however, many important findings are obtained until now. The changes that occur in pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons during simple non-associative learning, associative learning, short term memory and long term memory have been researched and different molecular mechanisms have been suggested.

Authors: Asri Meidi , Noerhadi Cita Citrawinda , Mardani Mardani
Published: June 2024

This study aims to analyze 1) the Judge’s legal considerations in granting the application for Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) against PT Asuransi Jiwa Kresna filed by Policyholders, 2) the suitability of Decision Number 647 K/Pdt.Sus-Bankruptcy/2021 dated June 8, 2021, with Law Number 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations. Normative juridical research with a statutory approach and case approach. Primary and secondary legal data are analyzed by concluding a general problem to the concrete problem at hand. The results showed that 1) The Panel of Judges granting PKPU applications in civil procedural law must be proven by the parties to civil litigation, not the law, but the event or legal relationship. In civil cases, the judge must conduct an assessment of the events submitted by the litigants, and then separate which events are important and which are not important. It is the important events that must be proven. The means of evidence include written letters, evidence by witnesses, and presumptive evidence. 2) The conformity of Decision Number 647 K/Pdt.Sus-Bankruptcy/2021 with Law Number 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and PKPU in this case, which is a bankruptcy case, follows the procedure for civil proceedings in general. However, evidence was provided simultaneously with the submission of the application to the clerk. The evidence was that the transactions carried out by the respondent were not following the homologation agreement, regardless of whether the debt owed by the respondent to the applicant was paid off.
Air traffic modelling based on a long memory approach
Authors: GIL-ALANA Luis Alberiko , Gili Rebeca
Published: June 2024

This paper deals with modeling air traffic data using a long memory class of models that use fractional integration. Two datasets have been considered: monthly global Revenue Passenger Kilometers and the number of monthly flights in Europe. The objective of this paper is to investigate whether Covid-19 has had a temporary or permanent impact on the air traffic trends. To do so, we investigate the orders integration of the series. Both datasets produced the same results: the trend was mean reverting when considering data before Covid-19, but the shock was so strong and long-lasting, that it produced a change to non-mean-reversion results after Covid-19. That said, if it is desirable to bring the air traffic trend back to its values before Covid-19, it will require intervention on the part of authorities or external factors since the series will not return by themselves to their original long term projections.
Transport connectivity of remote islands: The case of Kastellorizo, Greece
Authors: Zenelis Petros
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the transportation network and the respective connections of the remote island of Kastellorizo, the eastern Greek island which is located in the southeast Aegean Sea close to the Turkish coast. The accessibility options available in Kastellorizo are studied together with the challenges that residents encounter concerning their mobility demands. The most important factors that are directly related to the transport connectivity of Kastellorizo have to do with its remote location, the satisfactoriness of the existing transportation infrastructure and the economic and political conditions. In this paper, it is observed that the island in question faces significant challenges the most important of which is the insufficiency of the existing infrastructure to satisfy a potential increase in transportation demand to and from Kastellorizo. Specific solutions are suggested for the upgrading of the island’s transportation linkages. These include ideas for increasing the local transportation demand, promoting the island's natural beauty, growing local businesses and sustainable tourism practices and offering incentives to private transportation providers to include Kastellorizo in their routes. The importance of the transportation infrastructure and sustainability for the everyday life of the residents is highlighted in this paper’s conclusions. Future research is needed to further explore in more detail the transportation challenges that remote island communities like Kastellorizo face and recommend targeted solutions that take into account the unique characteristics of the regions in question.

Authors: Galiede Bimenyimana , Wilson Musoni
Published: June 2024

IoT-based systems are increasingly important for managing assets and activities, and implementing such a system can greatly benefit institutions like WASAC. The purpose of this system is to effectively manage WASAC's fleet, improving vehicle tracking, dispatching, fuel management, maintenance planning, driver behavior and safety, accident reduction, vehicle lifespan, customer service, unauthorized vehicle usage control, and data analysis and reporting. Currently, WASAC relies on paper-based methods for data recording and fuel management, resulting in financial losses and inadequate driver monitoring. By developing an IoT-based system, several sensors and devices such as a CAN adapter FMB140, automatic alcohol test sensor, fuel sensor, relay, I-button, and buzzer will be employed. These devices and sensors will be connected to the FMB140 IoT device, which will capture data and store them in a server database. This data will then be used to create an interactive web-based application using socket programming for fleet managers and the monitoring team. The application will be developed using PHP and React technologies. By implementing this IoT in fleet management will enhance safety and security measures for institutions specifically within the WASAC fleet management system, Real-time tracking, geofencing, prevention of fuel theft, driver behavior monitoring, and remote engine cut-off will significantly improve driver and vehicle safety while boosting fleet productivity. Overall, the IoTbased system will streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency for WASAC's fleet management.

Authors: Ibrahim Abdulkadir Abubakar , Sani Sadiq , Abubakar Kabiru Musa , Gurjar Om Prakash
Published: June 2024

This study examines the impact of various land use types on specific physical properties of soil at the Kano University of Science and Technology Research Farm in Gaya, Gaya L.G.A., Kano State, Nigeria. The four agricultural land uses investigated are cropland, forest, grazing, and plantation land. Soil samples were randomly collected from two depths (0-15 cm and 15-30 cm), with five samples from each depth per land use type, resulting in 40 samples. Bulk densities were measured using the core method. The results indicated no significant effect (Fpr > 0.05) of land use on bulk density and porosity. However, bulk density values exhibited an increasing trend: cropland (1.602 g/cm3) < forest land (1.667 g/cm3) < plantation land (1.669 g/cm3) < grazing land (1.69 g/cm3). Grazing land had the highest mean bulk density, while cropland had the lowest. At 0-15 cm depth, plantation land had the highest mean bulk density (1.698 g/cm3), and cropland had the lowest (1.547 g/cm3). At a depth of 15-30 cm, forest land had the highest mean bulk density (1.767 g/cm3), while plantation land had the lowest (1.641 g/cm3). Total porosity showed an increasing trend from grazing land (30.8%) to plantation land (33.6%), cropland (34.3%), and forest land (37.7%). Factors such as organic matter content, aggregate size, and soil depth influenced the bulk density and porosity characteristics. Overall, bulk density was higher than standard values, indicating compaction: sandy soils were too compact, loamy soils were very compact, and clay soils were highly compact. Total porosity generally fell within the moderate range, and particle density was within the normal acceptable range of 2.65 g/cm3.

Authors: S. Virtudazo Agnes
Published: June 2024

This study examines the intricate relationship between gender stereotypes and career aspirations among Grade 8 students in the context of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE). Employing a descriptive correlational research design, data was collected through a survey instrument adapted from validated scales. The extent of gender stereotypes was assessed across various dimensions, including occupational segregation, role expectations, differential treatment in education, media representations, and limited career aspirations. Additionally, students' career aspirations were explored concerning perceived suitability of careers, confidence in pursuing TLE careers, and perceptions of opportunities. Statistical analyses revealed a significant negative correlation between gender stereotypes and career aspirations, signifying the pervasive impact of these stereotypes on students' career inclinations. Furthermore, regression analyses identified indicators of gender stereotypes that significantly influence career aspirations. The implications of these findings resonate across educational stakeholders. School officials, educators, and students can utilize these insights to foster inclusive learning environments that challenge gender norms and promote diverse career paths in TLE. This study contributes to the existing literature by empirically illuminating the connections between gender stereotypes and career aspirations, offering a foundation for informed policy-making and targeted interventions.

Authors: Wambasi Kiberenge Mutoro Patrick , Wafula Charles , Kaseje Margaret
Published: June 2024

The uptake of skilled birth delivery services (SBDs) is crucial for improving maternal and child health, as it significantly reduces maternal and child mortality rates (MCMR). Maternal morbidity and mortality profoundly impact mothers, babies, families, communities, and society at large. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that maternal and child deaths result in an annual loss of USD 15.5 billion in potential productivity globally. In Bungoma County, the rate of SBDs has risen to over 50% in the past eight years, except for 2017 when it dropped to 46% due to a prolonged health workers' strike. However, there has been uncertainty regarding the sustainability of these high SBD rates after the cessation of specific health programs.This study aimed to describe and analyze how awareness of health innovations influences the use of skilled birth delivery services in Kimilili Sub County, Bungoma County. Utilizing a cross-sectional descriptive quantitative analytical design, the study employed both probability and non-probability sampling techniques to select participants. Descriptive statistics, including means and percentages, were used to summarize the data, while multiple regression analysis assessed the relationship among various innovations in increasing skilled birth delivery uptake. Findings indicated that awareness of health innovations, particularly those addressing financial aspects of delivery, significantly influences the uptake of skilled birth delivery (p=0.000). The study concluded that health innovations providing financial support for medical bills and emotional support throughout pregnancy strongly affect skilled delivery rates in Kimilili Sub County.

Humic acid is natural biological organic, which has a high effect on plant growth and quality. However, the mechanisms of the promoting effect of humic acid on the morphological components, growth and yield parameters were rarely reported. In this study, the effects of soil application of humic acid on the morphological components and growth parameters of wheat under dry climate were explored. Randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five treatments of humic acid and replicated three time, T1=control, T2= 4.5kgha-1, T3= 6 kgha-1, T4= 9.5 kgha-1, T5= 12 kgha-1 and T6= 14.5 kgha-1. Findings of this study indicated that with increasing application of humic acid growth and yield also increases plant height (21.97%), spike weight (157%), leaf area (34.12%), grain spike-1 (93%), grain yield (49.36%) and biological yield (80.34), though pH of soil also increased. While; results of NO3-N and K were also significantly different under different level of humic acid and mean maximum were recorded in T6 (25% and 48%) in comparison of T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. Conclusively; this study revealed that application of humic acid at the rate of 14.5 kg ha-1 could improve the growth and yield parameters of wheat and soil fertility.
Listen to what the man said
Authors: Shough Martin
Published: June 2024

In 2009 the magazine
Prospect
published an interview with Paul McCartney in which he described a 1966 meeting with philosopher Bertrand Russell (Power 2009). McCartney recalled discussing Russell’s moral objections to the war in Vietnam and later reporting these back to the other Beatles in terms that impressed them, at a time when they had yet to become vocal on the subject. Press reaction was largely derisory, couched in terms that prompted the article’s author to publicly criticize a pattern of reflexive misrepresentation of McCartney in the press. Typically, journalists scorned McCartney’s account, to the extent of doubting that a meeting with Bertrand Russell occurred at all. McCartney was widely accused of rewriting history to cast himself in the kind of political and intellectual role more typically accorded to John Lennon.

We
attempt to clarify this dispute with reference to documentary and anecdotal sources, finding independent evidence not only that this meeting occurred but also that, upon learning that McCartney was pursuing an anti-war film vehicle for the Beatles, Bertrand Russell actively facilitated a meeting between McCartney and novelist and producer/screenwriter Len Deighton; in the same time frame McCartney was meeting with civil rights and Vietnam war crimes activist Mark Lane, then a director of Bertrand Russell’s Peace Foundation, to discuss the New York attorney’s controversial book on the Kennedy assassination, the film version of which McCartney subsequently offered to score. The fact that McCartney was apparently alone in pursuing projects of this sort at this time, months before film director Dick Lester announced John Lennon’s acceptance of a part in
How I Won the War
, is in tension with popular narratives in which he is portrayed as a follower and superficial tunesmith. Journalistic accusations of dishonesty on the part of McCartney in 2008 are here examined and rebutted, and specific questions raised about the claimed timeline of events in 1966 are addressed in detail.

The
argument is of obvious interest in Beatles historiography, as accusations of self-serving revisionism on the part of McCartney have become a commonplace of fan criticism, especially since the death of Lennon. More generally, it speaks in a timely way to wider concerns about declining journalistic professionalism and integrity (Newman and Fletcher 2017), and related issues of poor media literacy and an increasing public mistrust of traditional news and opinion sources (Gibson et al. 2022).

Oriented Closed Polyhedral Maps and the Kitaev Model
Authors:   Wigner Research Centre for Physics, Hungary, Szlachányi Kornél
Published: June 2024

A kind of combinatorial map, called arrow presentation, is proposed to encode the data of the oriented closed polyhedral complexes $\Sigma$ on which the Hopf algebraic Kitaev model lives. We develop a theory of arrow presentations which underlines the role of the dual of the double $\mathcal{D}(\Sigma)^*$ of $\Sigma$ as being the Schreier coset graph of the arrow presentation, explains the ribbon structure behind curves on $\mathcal{D}(\Sigma)^*$ and facilitates computation of holonomy with values in the algebra of the Kitaev model. In this way, we can prove ribbon operator identities for arbitrary f.d. C$^*$-Hopf algebras and arbitrary oriented closed polyhedral maps. By means of a combinatorial notion of homotopy designed specially for ribbon curves, we can rigorously formulate ''topological invariance'' of states created by ribbon operators.

Published: June 2024

The paper examines the prospects and peculiarities of the development of cross-border e-commerce between Russia and China. The degree of e-commerce impact on trade turnover between Russia and China is assessed using an econometric model based on the analysis of trade flows between BRICS countries in the period from 2000 to 2022. The results obtained indicate that with an increase of 1% in the number of Internet users in Russia and its trading partners from the BRICS countries, the trade turnover increases by 0.19%. The paper also identifies the key challenges faced by entrepreneurs engaged in cross-border e-commerce between Russia and China and offers guidelines for these countries’ cooperation in the field of e-commerce. Based on the analysis of the relevant data the paper concludes that integration of digital technologies and increased access to the Internet contribute to the strengthening of trade ties between Russia and the BRICS countries, thus opening up new prospects for the development of cross-border e-commerce.
The mediating effect of trust on financial development and stock market comovement in BRICS economies
Authors: Matlhaku Kago
Published: June 2024

This study examines the effects of financial development on the stock market comovement of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) on the one hand and the US Dow Jones on the other. Its main goal is to find out if trust has a mediating effect on financial development using data from the World Bank and the World Value Survey (WVS). Panel data analysis along with ARDL methods helped the authors obtain robust results. It was found that financial development plays a significant role in determining stock market comovement among the countries in question and that trust also has a moderating impact. The analysis was extended to the institutional and market factors of financial development. The paper introduces trust as a mediating variable that positively affects financial development, which in turn promotes stock market integration and comovement. Its results imply that investors should consider financial development and trust levels of a country when considering portfolio allocation for global diversification purposes, especially in emerging markets. Countries with insufficient trust levels, like Brazil, could benefit from improving their trust score through enhancing financial development and stability.

Franca Manoukian , Évolution des expériences d’interventions psychosociologiques dans l’Italie du Nord L’article situe la réalisation des interventions psychosociologiques par rapport aux changements de la société italienne durant les cinquante dernières années. Plus récemment, les psychosociologues proposent des points de vue inattendus sur les problèmes microsociaux, qui peuvent susciter, dans différents milieux, compréhensions, intérêts et disponibilités à interagir différemment. La description de deux interventions en cours de réalisation permet d’ouvrir des discussions et des confrontations, dans une perspective de recherche et d’innovation.
Horizontalité et verticalité dans le dispositif d’intervention : la fonction de jonction du contre-transfert anticipé
Authors: Falla Willy
Published: June 2024

Willy Falla , Horizontalité et verticalité dans le dispositif d’intervention : la fonction de jonction du contre-transfert anticipé L’intervention dans des dispositifs d’analyse des pratiques ou d’analyse institutionnelle auprès de groupes institués du champ médicosocial met fréquemment en exergue une panne de la fonction interprétante entravée par des logiques organisationnelles accentuées par la crise sanitaire. Cette panne de la fonction interprétante est souvent à mettre en lien avec une déconnexion de l’équipe de la dimension instituante, déconnexion que la dimension organisationnelle vient recouvrir. Cette difficulté s’actualise au sein du dispositif d’intervention où la dialectique entre horizontalité et verticalité permet de renouer avec un rapport instituant au langage. Le récit d’une intervention dans le cadre d’un dispositif d’analyse des pratiques illustre comment le travail d’élaboration par l’intervenant de l’investissement contre-transférentiel de son propre dispositif mettant l’accent sur l’émergence de l’inattendu, permet à l’équipe accompagnée de refaire lien avec une verticalité instituante.
Les effets des traumas sociétaux, combats identitaires et idéologiques… sur l’analyse des pratiques : comment (re)créer un espace de travail commun ?

Élisabeth Maboungou , Les effets des traumas sociétaux, combats identitaires et idéologiques sur l’analyse des pratiques : comment (re)créer un espace de travail commun ? Au travers deux vignettes cliniques, nous interrogeons la conduite des groupes d’analyse des pratiques, dans le contexte « social historique » actuel, à savoir les traumatismes collectifs, les effets des politiques de désinstitutionnalisation, de transparence, et de surveillance des établissements accueillant des sujets en difficulté d’inscription sociale. L’enjeu principal étant de trouver dans le travail d’équipe un sens commun.
La Seconde Guerre mondiale et la monarchie en Grèce : une page sous-éclairée d’une institution contestée
Authors: Lemonidou Elli
Published: June 2024

Le texte se concentre sur George II, roi des Hellènes, et son rôle pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Une analyse approfondie est fournie sur ses actes de 1935 à 1941, qui ont largement déterminé la façon dont il était considéré pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le texte traite ensuite du départ du roi de la Grèce occupée par les nazis, de ses années d’exil, du fort soutien britannique (et américain) dont il a bénéficié, de sa réticence à accepter un référendum sur l’avenir (très débattu) de l’institution royale avant à son propre retour en Grèce, ainsi qu’aux développements turbulents du début de l’après-guerre dans le pays, avant son retour sur le trône en 1946. La dernière partie du texte est dédiée à la fin définitive de la royauté en Grèce, scellée par le référendum de 1974.
Intonation et émotions chez des patients dysphoniques : quand la voix et la parole s’en mêlent
Authors: Pillot-Loiseau Claire , Schuermans Camille , Behaghel Pauline , Le Pape Gaétane
Published: June 2024

Cette contribution s’intéresse à l’analyse acoustique de la fréquence fondamentale ( f o ) dans des phrases françaises identiques avec différentes émotions produites, d’une part, par un enfant dysphonique (avec trouble vocal) et un enfant chanteur (étude de cas) et, d’autre part, par 55 patientes dysphoniques après thyroïdectomie, dont 28 avec suspicion d’atteinte du Nerf Laryngé Supérieur (NLS), et 27 femmes témoins. La f o baisse chez tous les dysphoniques pour la colère et la joie mais elle ne permet pas de les différencier. La colère est moins bien perçue par les dysphoniques que les autres émotions. Les patientes avec suspicion d’atteinte du NLS présentent les réductions les plus sévères de f o et des ressentis de gêne vocale plus marqués. Une diminution du degré de liberté de leur fonction vocale réduit la flexibilité vocale de ces dysphoniques dont le trouble vocal affecte la prosodie émotionnelle dans son versant intonatif.
C’est le cas de et prendre le cas de dans l’opération d’exemplification
Authors: Legallois Dominique , Vigier Denis
Published: June 2024

Cet article a pour objectif d’analyser les emplois c’est le cas de et prendre le cas de dans leur fonction de marqueur de la relation d’exemplification. Pour ce faire, une première partie est consacrée à l’exploration lexicographique et cooccurrentielle de cas et exemple , afin d’identifier des éléments permettant de caractériser les emplois d’exemplification. L’examen de c’est le cas de montre que l’expression n’est pas toujours exemplifiante (elle peut être également généralisante), et si prendre le cas de est un marqueur d’exemplification, celle-ci peut avoir pour objet la non-observation de la propriété générale en jeu dans l’énoncé.

La psychologie clinique au défi des symptômes contemporains
Authors: Poupart Florent
Published: June 2024

Les théories du complot sont des élaborations intellectuelles non délirantes, partageables, qui témoignent pourtant d’une conception paranoïaque du monde. La théorie psychanalytique permet de les envisager comme des théories sexuelles infantiles, dont les mobiles inconscients relèvent à la fois de satisfactions substitutives et d’aménagements défensifs, mêlant problématique œdipienne et racines archaïques.
Ménages et entreprises : qui sont les principaux contributeurs à la fiscalité locale foncière ?
Authors: Grandclement Antoine , Casanova Enault Laure
Published: June 2024

Cette note de recherche discute la façon dont les Fichiers Fonciers peuvent enrichir l’analyse géographique des recettes fiscales du bloc communal. Cette source pallie les limites d’autres bases de données fiscales en permettant d’identifier à la maille communale la contribution des locaux à usage d’activités à la taxe sur le foncier bâti. À partir du cas de la Métropole d’Aix-Marseille, le texte présente des pistes pour analyser les disparités spatiales entre communes en matière de recettes fiscales, en fonction de la géographie et de la composition sectorielle du tissu économique métropolitain. Il montre l’importance de cette source dans le contexte récent des réformes de la fiscalité locale.
Le Double de Dostoïevski
Authors: Simonney Dominique
Published: June 2024

Le roman de Dostoïevski Le Double met en scène un personnage, Monsieur Goliadkine, qui se retrouve dépossédé d’une part de sa personnalité, car il ne parvient pas à se faire reconnaître par les figures paternelles auquel il s’adresse. Cette part de lui-même réapparaît dans le réel sous la forme d’un double à qui tout réussit et qui finit par le persécuter. La seconde partie du texte pose la question de la présence, chez l’auteur du Double lui-même, de cette menace de déréliction et de la façon dont l’écriture lui permit d’y faire face et de s’en sortir au prix d’une soumission absolue à l’autorité du tsar et de l’Église.
Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) associated with COVID 19 infection and vaccination: A case report and literature review
Authors: Medavarapu Srinivas , Goyal Nitasha , Anziska Yaacov
Published: June 2024

Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is an inflammatory disorder caused by many etiologies, from postinfectious to autoimmune. Rarely, ATM cases have been reported after both COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 vaccination. We described our experience with ATM after COVID-19 infection and conducted a literature review.

Case finding Methods

We reported a case of longitudinally extensive ATM after COVID 19 infection, who also received convalescent plasma therapy, and present a comprehensive literature review of ATM cases reported after COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 vaccination. The literature search was done using PubMed and Google scholar with keywords and selected peer-reviewed articles. The search included all cases from Jan 2020 to Sept 2022.

Results

A total of 60 ATM cases reported association with post COVID 19 infection, and 23 ATM cases reported association with post COVID 19 vaccinations. Among post COVID 19 ATM cases, the mean age was 49 years and the youngest reported was 7-month-old. A total of 55% (33) were longitudinally extensive ATM. The most common symptom was lower extremity weakness. One case was reported as necrotizing myelitis on biopsy, and another case overlapped with syndrome of GBS and longitudinal ATM. No cases reported using convalescent plasma therapy after infection. Almost all the ATM cases were treated with steroids, but some cases needed additional treatment since not all responded adequately. Six cases (10%) responded with steroids plus plasmapheresis, and 5 cases (8%) responded with steroids + IVIG, especially in the pediatric age group. One case reported a positive response after treatment with eculizumab, and another with infliximab. Two cases (3%) remained paraparetic. Among post covid-19 vaccine ATM cases, 4 cases (17%) were reported as longitudinally extensive ATM. Five cases (21%) had symptom onset within a week after vaccination. Almost all reported a response to steroids except for one case which reported fatality after the 58th day after vaccination.

Conclusion

ATM, in the setting of acute COVID-19 infection, has been described in multiple cases and is a rare complication of COVID-19 vaccination.
