A Study of Developing Senior High School students’ Autonomous English Learning Ability upon the Metacognitive Strategies under the New NCEE
Authors: Li Xu , Zhang Ligui
Published: February 2025

The new national college entrance examination emphasizes that the goal of English teaching is to cultivate students’ core competency, and an important part of this is to cultivate students’ autonomous learning ability. Under the background of the new curriculum reform and the new college entrance examination, English teaching in senior high school, compared with junior high school English, has deepened language difficulty, increased learning tasks, and higher requirements for thinking ability, which leads to freshmen in senior high school not being easily adapted to the subject and not knowing how to learn English effectively. In this study, we learned the current situation of students’ use of metacognitive learning strategies and autonomous learning ability through a questionnaire. In order to help and guide students to learn English better and adapt to high school English learning as soon as possible, English teachers should stimulate students’ metacognitive experience, strengthen the metacognitive monitoring of the learning process, and cultivate students’ aotonomous learning ability of English, so as to promote the continuous improvement of the quality of English learning.

Authors: Liu Tingting , Sheng Jia , Zhang Jie
Published: February 2025

Under the promotion of "Internet + education" and curriculum ideology and politics, the construction law course is a compulsory course for civil engineering majors, so it is necessary to reform its teaching mode to improve students' learning effect and comprehensive quality. This paper first discusses the exploration of the ideological and political mixed teaching mode of the construction law course under the background of MOOCs, and then, based on the theory, takes the knowledge point of "the quality responsibility of the construction unit" as an example, expounds the whole process of teaching design by using the MOOC-based mixed teaching mode, and explores and practices the ideological and political teaching of the construction law course. Finally, some problems need further reflection and exploration in this teaching mode.
From “Other Imagination" to “Self-Construction": A Study of the Evolution of the Image of the Hmong in the United States--The Second Series of Overseas Hmong Studies
Authors: Li Xingying , Hao Guoqiang
Published: February 2025

This study employs the methods of literature and virtual ethnography to examine the representation of the Hmong in the United States from three perspectives: the media, texts, and cyberspace. It elucidates the internal logic and cultural connotations of the evolving representation of the Hmong in the United States by examining the American imagination of the Hmong and the Hmong's own construction of their image. It is argued that the Hmong culture as imagined by the American mainstream culture represents a perception of "backwardness" and "mysteriousness". Additionally, the Hmong elites have been observed to portray the stereotyped "refugee image" as "aggressive" and "positive". However, the Hmong elites have also been seen to attempt to shift this perception of the "refugee image" towards a more positive and aggressive representation. The Hmong elite attempts to portray the stereotypical "refugee image" as an "aggressive" and successful new immigrant in the United States. Conversely, the new generation of young Hmong people construct a "modern" and "ethnic" image of "struggling" through online self-media.
Inter-embedded Community Endogenous Development Model of Agricultural Population among Various Ethnic Groups in Yunnan
Authors: Zhang Junjie , Jia Meng , Tao Wenxing
Published: February 2025

Ethnic embeddedness in Yunnan Province is closely linked to the agricultural population and endogenous development. The embeddedness among ethnic groups promotes resource sharing and interactive exchange, positively influencing agricultural development. However, differences in cultural inheritance and organizational methods among ethnic groups pose challenges to agricultural progress. Strengthening cooperation and exchange among these groups is necessary to achieve coordination and common progress in agricultural development. This research outlines the methods and materials required, including an analysis of Yunnan’s agricultural population, ethnic embeddedness theory, and endogenous development theory. By integrating sustainable development theory, a coordinated development coupling analysis is conducted. Building on existing endogenous development models, a targeted embedded community endogenous development model for Yunnan is established. The model is evaluated, and its predictive results are examined. Findings indicate that the model promotes resource sharing and interaction, enhancing agricultural productivity, economic cooperation, and cultural inheritance. Ethnic cooperation improves agricultural efficiency and community economic development. Additionally, the model supports the preservation and development of ethnic culture, with cultural exchanges enriching Yunnan’s ethnic resources and fostering community identity and cohesion.

This study focuses on the energy dissipation characteristics of High-Performance Concrete (HPC) under uniaxial repeated compressive loading for three different grades. The objective is to analyze the energy dissipation capacity of HPC by examining the stress-strain hysteresis during repeated loading. The dimensionless energy dissipation ratio, Rn, quantifies the energy dissipated per loading-unloading cycle, depicting the proportion of dissipated energy relative to the total stored strain energy in each cycle. The present work includes the relationship between Rn and the normalized envelope strain at the peak of each cycle, as well as the normalized plastic strain at unloading. The results highlight the behavior of the Rn ratio. The findings indicate that all three grades of HPC investigated exhibit similar energy dissipation patterns. The plotted data reveal a bilinear behavior, characterized by an initial high rate of increase in Rn followed by a relatively slower rate of increase. Additionally, simple empirical relationships based on the observed data are also proposed. The results of this study can aid in determining elastic limits and damage indicators for HPC under repeated loading, enabling engineers to predict material behavior and optimize the design and maintenance of HPC structures in seismic and cyclic loading conditions. The results can be used for designing HPC structures capable of withstanding seismic and repeated loading conditions, enhancing their resilience and safety.
Heredes Seiae signum ponere compellendi sunt

Tanulmányom, egy, a Digesta által megőrzött ókori római jogesetet dolgoz fel. A Scaev. D. 34, 2, 38, 2 szemelvény arról számol be, hogy Seia, egy vagyonos nő végrendeletében arra utasította örököseit, hogy állítsanak egy általa kiválasztott szentélyben, annak istenségének egy szobrot. Azonban egy kérdés tisztázatlan maradt, mégpedig hogy milyen fémből: aranyból, ezüstből, vagy bronzból készüljön a szobor? Quintus Cervidius Scaevola jogtudós meglátása szerint ezüstből. Tanulmányomban összefoglalom, hogy milyen jogi és nem jogi érvek vezethettek az ezüst, mint szoboranyag melletti állásfoglaláshoz, tekintetbe véve többek közt a Mediterráneum szentélybeli ajándékokra vonatkozó szokásait, a különböző nemesfémek értékét, azok egymáséhoz viszonyított arányát, ill. az örökhagyónak a végrendeletből kiolvasható szándékát. A jogeset fontosságát támasztja alá, hogy igen kevés ókori lelet, illetve még kevesebb jogi szöveg maradt fenn, ami hasonló témájú, szentélynek szóló juttatással foglalkozik. Sajnos a szóban forgó szobor nem maradt fenn, de Seia nagylelkűségének időtálló emlékét biztosítja a Digestabeli szemelvényben megőrzött végrendeleti rendelkezés.
A semlegesség nemzetközi jogi fogalma és Magyarország második világháborús külpolitikai törekvéseinek jogtörténeti megközelítése a semlegesség tükrében II.
Authors: Kui Gábor
Published: February 2025

Szinte lehetetlen úgy írni a háborúról, vagy a háborúhoz kapcsolódó jogi fogalmakról, hogy annak ne legyen szomorú aktualitása. Most is van. Alig volt néhány év az emberiség történetében, amikor nem dúlt háború. Nehéz is lett volna elkerülni ezeket az összetűzéseket, hiszen az államokat a nemzetközi jog fejlődése során egészen a 20. századig megillette a háború indításához való jogosultság, a ius ad bellum. Az államok közötti konfliktusok elsődleges megoldási módszere a háború volt. Az emberi leleményesség és a technika fejlődésével a harcok egyre kegyetlenebbek, egyre embertelenebbek lettek, és egyre több ember életét követelték. Az idők folyamán a hadijog szabályai egyre jobban kikristályosodtak, majd az 1899. évi és 1907. évi hágai békekonferenciákon történt kodifikációjuk révén az aláírók vonatkozásában kötelező érvényűek is lettek. Ez a szabályrendszer, ha már a háború indítását nem lehetett tiltani, legalább a jogi keretek meghatározásával a háború borzalmai enyhítésének egyik eszközévé vált.
Mi más enyhíthetné azonban jobban a háború okozta szenvedést, mint a háborúból való kimaradás? Vagyis, ha egy állam úgy dönt, hogy a harcokban egyik hadviselő oldalán sem kíván részt venni. Ez a szándék vezet el a semlegesség nemzetközi jogi fogalmához. Ha végigtekintünk kialakulásának történetén, szabályozásán, alkalmazásán, láthatjuk majd, hogy milyen lehetőség volt ez – és az ma is – a béke megőrzésére, helyesebben szólva milyen lehetőség lett volna – és lenne ma is –, hiszen egy állam azon szándéka, hogy a környezetében dúló háborúból kimaradjon – főleg a 20. században – hiú ábránd volt csupán és amint alkalma nyílt az államoknak, a semlegesség szabályait mindig igyekeztek kijátszani. A béke fenntartásának ezt a régi eszközét, az erre vonatkozó jogot, változásait, szabályait szeretném dolgozatom első részében bemutatni. Ez talán kellő alapul szolgál majd a második rész témájához, amelyben Magyarország második világháborúban való semlegessége megőrzéséért folytatott küzdelmét, illetve ennek lehetőségeit szeretném vázlatosan ismertetni.

The purpose of the research is to present a comparative morphological characteristic of the skin of domestic cats, taking into account the features of the morphotype of heterogeneous hair. The comparative morphological character-istic of the general cover of representatives of the Felidae family, depending on the morphotype of the hair cover, is presented. The research was carried out at the Department of Anatomy and Histology of Animals named after Pro-fessor A. F. Klimov of the Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology – MBA named after
K. I. Scriabin. When studying the skin, a comprehensive methodological approach was used, including anatomical dissection, light microscopy of histological sections, micromorphometry and statistical analysis of digital data. The object of the study is 73 cats of a reproductive age without pathologies of the general cover. On the basis of the con-ducted research, general patterns, species and breed features of the general cover of cats have been established. Analysis of the ratio of the thickness of the papillary and reticular layers to the total thickness of the skin showed that long-haired feline breeds are ahead of short-haired cats in terms of the degree of development of the papillary layer, however, the inverse relationship was revealed in terms of the degree of development of the reticular layer. When studying subcutaneous adipose tissue, it was found that cats of long-haired breeds are inferior to short-haired cats in these parameters. It is shown that the animals of long-haired breeds are ahead of short-haired ones in the quantita-tive representation of fibroblasts, but inferior to them in the thickness of bundles of collagen fibers. The established normative morphological indicators of the total cover, taking into account the breed affiliation of animals, are basic in assessing the clinical status and can be used in the diagnosis and therapeutic correction of dermatotropic patholo-gies.

The purpose of the research is to develop methods for increasing soil fertility by introducing phosphogypsum on alka-line chernozem in the conditions of the Samara region. The effect of the introduction of various norms of phos-phogypsum (1,5, 3,0, 5,0 t/ha) on alkaline chernozem against the background of N120P60K60 on soil structure, the reac-tion of the soil environment and the content of absorbed bases, and on the formation of winter wheat productivity was studied. Field experiments were laid in 2019-2022 on the territory of a pilot site in the central agroecological zone of the Samara region. The soil is alkaline medium loamy chernozem with a thickness of humus horizon up to 50-60 cm. Phosphogypsum was applied against the background of the use of the mineral fertilizer Ammophos (NH4H2PO4 + (NH4)2HPO4). One half of the calculated norm was introduced by spreading for pre-sowing cultivation, and the second – when sowing through the fertilizer dispenser of the seeder. Field experiments were accompanied by the necessary observations and analyses. When phosphogypsum is applied to the soil, the processes of structure formation are activated, stable granules with a diameter of 1-3 mm are formed in a layer of 0-10 cm, an improvement in the mor-phological structure of the soil is observed. The application of nitrogen fertilizer in combination with phosphogypsum (5 t/ha) contributes to the activation of microbiological processes in the soil by 67-87 %. On natural and elevated backgrounds on alkaline chernozem, the annual application of phosphogypsum and mineral fertilizers at a dose of N40P40K40 improves the supply of soil with mobile compounds of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, increasing the level of effective fertility. The growth and development of cultivated crops increases at a dose of phosphogypsum of 2 t/ha, the yield of winter wheat significantly increases (by 19.3%).

This study looks at how three parenting styles permissive, authoritarian, and authoritative affect adolescent behavior. It focuses on how parental participation affects adolescent compliance, aggression, social skills, and academic performance. The study highlights the benefits of authoritative parenting, defined by warmth and direction and fosters desirable attributes including high self-esteem and academic performance. On the other hand, strong regulations and authoritarian parenting promote greater obedience but are also associated with higher levels of violence and worse social skills. Using a quantitative method, the Parental Style and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) was utilized to classify parenting styles, and an instrument designed by Steinberg was utilized to evaluate the behavior of adolescents. 200 respondents were chosen through purposeful selection, and relationships between adolescent behavior and parenting methods were investigated using data analysis using SPSS 27. According to both descriptive and inferential analyses, the findings of this study demonstrates that authoritative parenting greatly reduces the likelihood of peer bullying in addition to helping adolescents develop better emotional regulation and social skills. The cross-sectional form of the study as well as the dependence on self-reported data, which restricts generalizability and causal inferences, are among its drawbacks. This study emphasizes the value of supportive, well-balanced parenting in promoting healthy adolescent development. It also emphasizes the significance that emotional intelligence and effective parenting techniques play in lowering harmful behaviors, which will ultimately benefit future generations.

The mental well-being of undergraduate students has become a growing concern globally due to the significant challenges they face during their transition to university life. This study investigates the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among undergraduate students at Universiti Selangor (UNISEL), focusing on different academic years. Using the established Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) instrument, data were collected from 1,312 students through convenience sampling. The results revealed that 12.4% of students experienced an extremely severe level of depression, 26.5% reported an extremely severe level of anxiety, and 4.7% were found to be in an extremely severe level of stress. Notably, second-year students exhibited higher levels of stress and depression compared to first-year students, suggesting that academic pressures may intensify as students’ progress. However, the results also showed that third-year students had lower levels of anxiety than first-year students, which could indicate better coping mechanisms or adaptation over time. These findings highlight the importance of continuous monitoring of students’ mental health and developing targeted strategies to address these challenges throughout students' academic journeys. By creating a supportive environment and implementing mental health initiatives, the higher education institution can contribute to improving the overall well-being of undergraduate students, ensuring they are better equipped to juggle the responsibilities of university life successfully.

Published: February 2025

Indonesia, as the largest Muslim-majority nation, possesses significant potential for waqf to contribute to economic growth and enhance the welfare of its population; however, its development remains suboptimal. The importance of this study is to design the establishment of waqf banks that can be applied in Indonesia and fill the literature gap. The study employs a qualitative methodology grounded in theory, utilizing data triangulation to analyse in-depth interviews, with a focus on design thinking techniques. Theoretically, waqf banks can be established in Indonesia by considering the design of structure, ownership, capital, transactions, security, margin, and legality. The design thinking of waqf banks can be integrated within a domestic or national banking framework, characterized by cooperative ownership. Capital is sourced from the company, with transactions conducted through mudharabah. Government guarantees provide security, and profit margins may exceed 3%. Furthermore, waqf banks are recognized as legal entities within the Islamic banking system. The implementation of a more adaptive and reliable waqf bank design in Indonesia enhances the performance and benefits of waqf on a broader scale. Additional research is required to perform a quantitative analysis involving the waqf nazir of waqf collection institutions to promote the establishment of waqf banks in Indonesia.
REVIEW OF SOME CRIMINAL JUDGMENTS THAT DO NOT RESOLVE THE SUBSTANCE OF THE CASE - PROCEDURAL MEAN TO ENSURE THE LEGAL ORDER
Authors: Lorincz Anca-Lelia
Published: February 2025

Among the meanings of the concept of "legal security" is the feeling of confidence of citizens in the correct application and interpretation of the law, as well as in the state's ability to ensure the legal order and, implicitly, public order. One of the requirements arising from the principle of security of legal relations is ensuring access to justice by guaranteeing the right to an effective remedy.
In this context, the present study approaches the institution of revision, bringing into attention the possibility of subjecting to re-examination, by exercising this way of attack, definitive criminal judgments that do not resolve the merits of the case.
Using, as research methods, observation, documentation, interpretation and comparative scientific analysis (including some European provisions), this paper also discusses some jurisprudential aspects regarding criminal judgments that can be subject to revision, with reference to the recent practice of the supreme court (High Court of Cassation and Justice) in Romania.
The objective of the study is to highlight the need to correlate the requirement of ensuring the stability of final criminal judgments with the requirement of guaranteeing access to justice by exercising an effective remedy.

Unveiling Transformer Failures: Insights from Utilities Repaired Transformers and Their Revival
Authors: Zope Sanika , Zope Nitin
Published: February 2025

Power transformer failures pose a significant challenge to power utilities, leading to service interruptions, costly repairs, and operational inefficiencies. In Maharashtra, the State Transmission Utility has observed a marked increase in transformer failures over recent years, negatively impacting service reliability and increasing operational costs. This paper investigates the root causes of these failures using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), supported by MATLAB-based modelling by collecting the comprehensive data related to transformer failures. The analysis focuses on identifying critical failure modes, assessing their occurrence rates, and evaluating their severity. Short circuit failures, identified as the most critical failure mode, are further analysed through factory inspections and substation visits to understand the operational and mechanical stresses imposed on transformers during faults. The paper also examines the effectiveness of current repair practices and operating procedures. Based on this comprehensive analysis, recommendations are made to improve transformer reliability by addressing key failure modes, enhancing repair protocols, and implementing operational changes to mitigate future failures. This dual approach provides a robust framework for reducing transformer failures and improving power system reliability to the utility systems.

Published: February 2025

This study is devoted to the analysis and forecasting of the impact of the volatility of the real effective exchange rate (REER) both directly and indirectly through various channels on macroeconomic indicators in Ukraine, in particular on economic growth and public debt. The work uses the simultaneous simulative equations model (SEM) and the quantile autoregressive distributed lag model (QARDL), which made it possible to use their capabilities and form a linear and non-linear approach to assessing the impact of volatility on selected indicators in the short- and long-term.The main results demonstrate the ambiguous impact of REER volatility on economic parameters: exchange rate volatility slows down economic growth, but at the same time can reduce debt risk, mostly in the short term. The results of the quantile analysis show that individual economic indicators change the degree of their influence depending on the level of volatility and the state of the financial sector.Also, an important factor through which volatility affects economic development or changes itself is the level, dynamics and structure of trade. The proposed approach and the results obtained on its basis can serve as a methodological basis for justification and decision-making regarding the implementation of a stabilizing macroeconomic policy by state institutions.
FORMATION AND FUNCTIONING OF FINANCIAL METAVERSE PLATFORMS

Published: February 2025

An important direction in the formation and development of a decentralized economy is the creation of a financial metaverse as a hybrid physical-virtual ecosystem, based on a combination of centralized and decentralized mechanisms of financial market activity. This article aims to reveal the features of the formation and functioning of digital financial platforms to ensure effective financial services for metaverse users, considering the benefits and drawbacks of using individual types and forms of digital money.Based on a comparative analysis, the authors identify the main technological and economic properties, competitive advantages and disadvantages of individual types and forms of digital money in the metaverse’s payment and financial systems, taking into account potential economic and social consequences. This promotes a balanced approach to selecting financial services instruments for metaverse users. The decentralized nature of the financial metaverse, combined with centralized monetary systems and financial markets, deepens our understanding of how digital financial ecosystems function and how business operates in the virtual space. The authors argue that the centralization degree of financial services for metaverse users depends on the level of regulation of the circulation and use of digital currencies. The practical focus is on developing a tentative organizational structure for the financial metaverse, justifying potential models for digital financial platforms, and providing recommendations for using CBDCs for financial services in the metaverse. The conclusions and recommendations formulated in the article can be used in making political and regulatory decisions to form and develop financial metaverse platforms.

Görme engelli öğrencilerin eğitim aldığı kurumlarda eğitsel/akademik erişim olanaklarının geliştirilmesi, en az bu gruptaki öğrencilerin gereksinimlerine yanıt verebilecek fiziki ve teknolojik alt yapı sunulması kadar önemlidir. Ancak ülkemizdeki üniversitelerin bu bakımdan yeterlilik düzeyleri yeterince irdelenmiş değildir. Bu sorundan hareketle olgu bilimsel yöntemle gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmada, bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim görmekte olan görme engelli öğrencilerin eğitsel/akademik erişimde yaşadıkları sorunların betimlenmesi, konuya ilişkin görüş, öneri ve deneyimlerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 15 görme engelli üniversite öğrencisi, 30 öğretim üyesi, üniversitenin engelli öğrencilere yönelik koordinasyon biriminde ve merkez kütüphanesinde görev yapan 2’şer kişi ile görüşülmüştür. Görüşmeler, içerik çözümlemesi ile incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, öğretim elemanlarınca görme engelli öğrenciler için birtakım faaliyetler yapılmaktaysa da çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin en sık karşılaştığı sorunun eğitsel/akademik erişimi yüksek kaynaklara ulaşamamak olduğu görülmüştür. Bu eksiklik diğer gruplardaki katılımcıların çoğunluğu tarafından da dile getirilmiştir. Üniversite kütüphanesinde eğitsel/akademik erişimi yüksek kaynaklardan oluşan bir alan oluşturulması, sınavlarda da eğitsel/akademik erişimi arttırıcı çalışmalar yürütülmesi yararlı olacaktır. Çalışma görme engelli öğrencilerin üniversite eğitimleri sırasında karşılaştıkları sorunları ve mevcut durumlarını çok yönlü bakış açısıyla değerlendirmesiyle öne çıkmaktadır.

Idealet om at politikk skal være kunnskapsbasert står sterkt. Politikken henter kunnskap og forskning fra forskningssystemet, særlig fra instituttsektoren. Denne boka handler om forskningsinstitusjoner og forskningspolitikk, og mest om instituttsektoren. Det er institusjoner utenfor universiteter og høyskoler med forskning og utviklingsarbeid som hovedoppgave. Slike institutter finnes i mange land, men deres roller og antall har variert over tid og mellom land. Her handler det mest om norske forhold, men også om forskningsinstitutter i Danmark og Sverige. Boka gir ny innsikt om instituttsektorens roller og virke i Skandinavia. Den handler også om universiteter og høyskoler og forholdet mellom institusjonene. Ulike forvaltnings- og politikkområders forhold til forskningsinstitutter og bruk av forskning diskuteres. Boka har 15 forfattere og er flerfaglig. De fleste er statsvitere og historikere og kommer fra universiteter og høyskoler, og fra instituttsektoren. Mange har også egne erfaringer fra forskjellige deler av forskningssystemet. Historiske og statsvitenskapelige perspektiver kombineres, med vekt på politisk kontekst, intensjoner ved etablering av instituttene og analyser av utvikling over tid.

Authors: Attinger Adrian , Dörfel Thorleif , Mayer Johannes
Published: February 2025

In 2024 automated recording devices (AudioMoth 1.2.0) were distributed in 25 locations across
Baden-Württemberg in order to collect data on singing cicadas. These were used to make daily recordings with a duration of 30 minutes each, predominantly in June. Footage was captured as of 10 am and again as of 2 pm. Selected data was then visually analysed using sonograms generated by Audacity 2.3.3. in order to identify the vocalisation of singing cicadas. Proof of the singing cicada (Cicadetta cantilatrix Sueur & Puissant, 2007 and C. petryi Schumacher, 1924) was found in 10 of 25 sites in Baden-Württemberg. Thus, the method of choice proved highly effective in providing evidence of the singing cicada. In addition to that, species that are morphologically difficult to differentiate can be easily identified based on their song.

Published: February 2025

Brugada syndrome is characterised by malignant arrhythmias in patients without organic heart disease with ECG pattern consisting of coved-type ST elevation ≥2mm in one or more leads from V1-V3. ECG changes can be transient and can be unmasked by factors:- Fever, Ischaemia, Hypokalaemia, Hyperkalaemia, Hypothermia, Post DC cardioversion, Multiple Drugs. This ECG abnormality should be associated with 1-clinical criteria for the diagnosis:- VF[or]VT, Family history of sudden cardiac death at <45 years old, Coved-type ECGs in family members, Inducibility of VT with programmed electrical stimulation, Syncope, Nocturnal agonal respiration. It's possible to have a Brugada pattern ECG without having Brugada Syndrome symptoms:- syncope, Irregular, heartbeats[or]palpitations, sudden cardiac arrest.
