Authors: Onwuegbuzie Innocent Uzougbo  , Adu Michael Kolade
Published: June 2024

The management of final-year projects in Nigerian tertiary institutions faces significant challenges due to the use of manual and paper-based outdated systems, which are time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to errors and losses. This paper presents the development, implementation, and evaluation of the web-based Final-Year Project Repository System (FYPRS), a comprehensive solution for managing final-year projects in these institutions. The FYPRS is a responsive web application designed using the Laravel framework. It provides a centralized platform for students to submit and store their final-year projects, and for faculty members to evaluate and access them. Key features include user authentication, project submission and evaluation, and a search engine. The solution addresses the limitations of traditional approaches by automating and streamlining project management processes. It enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of the final-year project process, which is a critical component of the undergraduate curriculum. By providing a centralized platform, the application improves the quality and relevance of final-year projects, facilitating the sharing and dissemination of knowledge gained from these projects. The development, implementation, and evaluation of the FYPRS follow a rigorous methodology, including literature review, needs assessment, system design and analysis, implementation, and testing. The results demonstrate the system's reliability, efficiency, and effectiveness, with high usability and adoption potential. The successful adoption of the application in Nigerian tertiary institutions is a significant step towards improving the undergraduate curriculum and enhancing the success and impact of students undertaking final-year projects. The FYPRS represents a valuable contribution to the management of final-year projects in these institutions.

As Jornadas Mundiais da Juventude (JMJ), encontros do Sumo Pontífice com jovens, realizam-se de dois em dois anos. Em 1986, em Roma, João Paulo II lançou o conceito e a primeira Jornada ocorreu no ano seguinte em Buenos Aires. Desde então, as jornadas vêm sendo as maiores manifestações da Igreja Católica (a maior terá acontecido em Manila com a presença de mais de 4 milhões de peregrinos). Duram cerca de uma semana, com diversos eventos espalhados pela cidade anfitriã, culminando numa missa celebrada pelo Papa, no fim da qual é anunciado, entre os locais candidatados, qual o escolhido para a Jornada seguinte. Na Jornada de 2019, na Cidade do Panamá, foi anunciado que a próxima seria em Lisboa, em 2022, mas a pandemia da Covid-19 obrigou a adiá-la por um ano.

Em 3 de Março de 1960 foram abertas as propostas dos 4 concorrentes que se apresentaram a concurso e no dia 5 de Março realizou-se a primeira reunião da comissão que tinha sido previamente nomeada por portaria do governo para as analisar, designada por Comissão de Estudo das Propostas. Ao nomear a Comissão, o Ministério das Obras Públicas fixou como data limite para a apresentação do respetivo relatório o dia 15 de Abril, cerca de 40 dias após a abertura das propostas. De facto, esse relatório veio a ser entregue ao ministro no dia 10 de Maio, devendo-se o alongamento do prazo à necessidade de solicitar diversos esclarecimentos aos representantes dos concorrentes. Trata-se, em qualquer caso, de um intervalo de tempo extremamente reduzido – de pouco mais de 2 meses – que, certamente, obrigou os elementos da comissão a uma dedicação quase integral à concretização dessa complexa tarefa.

Gelişmişlik düzeyinden bağımsız olarak tüm ülke ekonomileri için ikamesi bulunmayan tarım sektörü; insanların yaşamını sürdürmelerini sağlayan en temel olarak beslenme ihtiyacını gidermesi ve diğer sektörlere sağladığı hammadde desteği, ihracat kanalı yardımıyla yarattığı doğrudan ve dolaylı etkiler aracılığıyla milli gelir ve işgücüne büyük ölçekli katkı sağlamaktadır. Tarım sektörü, insanlık var olduğundan beri ülkelerin ekonomik ve sosyal perspektifte kalkınma sürecinde önemli görevler üstlenmiştir. Sanayileşme ile birlikte tarım sektöründe yaşanan sorunlar, başta tarımsal destekler olmak üzere bu sektöre yeni politikaların uygulanmasını gerekli kılmıştır. Tarım sektörüne sağlanan desteklerin tarım gelişimini destekleyerek; büyüme, dış ticaret, işgücü gibi makroekonomik göstergeler üzerinde yarattığı etki dolayısıyla çalışmalar bu yöne çevrilmiştir. Ekonomik büyüme süreci üzerinde çok fazla sayıda faktör etkili olsa da tarım sektörü, tüm ülke ekonomilerinde stratejik önemini ve değerini korumaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, seçili OECD ülkelerinde 1995-2020 döneminde toplam tarımsal destek (%) ve ekonomik büyüme (%) arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini incelemektir. Çalışmada nedensellik analizinde Pesaran CDNT (Düzeltilmiş CD) Testi, CIPS (Yatay Kesit Genişletilmiş IPS-2007) Panel Birim Kök Testi, Dumitrescu ve Hurlin Panel Nedensellik Analizi ve Homojenlik testi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre; çalışmada yer alan OECD ülkeleri için toplam tarımsal desteklerden ekonomik büyümeye doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi varlığına ulaşırken; ülke bazlı sonuçlar nedensellik ilişkisinin yönü ve varlığı hakkında farklılıklar göstermektedir.

Published: June 2024

A particularly important area of research in tourism management is the study of consumer habits and attitudes towards tourism. With this in mind, an online survey was conducted in 2018 to investigate the attitudes and consumption habits of the Hungarian population towards tourism. The survey is representative of the Hungarian population aged 15–74 by gender, age groups (10-year intervals), and region of residence. Five variables were included in the analysis: gender, generations, type of municipality of residence, level of education, and subjective perception of income status. This study focuses on gender differences in. The aim of the study was to call attention to the disparate tourism consumption patterns and attitudes of females and males. Based on the statistical analysis of a representative sample of 1,085 respondents, our hypotheses about statistically verifiable differences between female and male tourism consumption behaviours were confirmed. It was found that women are more open than men to adopting environmentally responsible consumer behaviours when travelling.

The latest geological and geophysical information on the Zeya-Bureya sedimentary basin (Russia, Far East) is summarized. Based on drilling data from corehole and deep wells, 2D and 3D CDPM seismic data, taking into account the integrated interpretation of gravity and magnetic survey data, geological survey materials, a map was constructed on the surface of the pre-Mesozoic basement of the sedimentary basin, as well as structural maps on the top of the Cretaceous formations. The maps reflect a series of rift grabens and uplifts identified by the authors on seismic time sections during their reinterpretation. The method of constructing maps is given. A geological map of sediments overlying the pre-Mesozoic basement of the Zeya-Bureya sedimentary basin and a tectonic map of the sedimentary cover were constructed. During the tectonic zoning of the sedimentary cover, the classification of tectonic elements was adopted, which is widely used in the tectonic zoning of oil and gas regions, proposed by V.D. Nalivkin and updated at INGG SB RAS. As a result of tectonic zoning in the basin, the Inner Region and the Outer Belt were identified, and the tectonic elements complicating them were characterized. A characteristic feature of the Outer Belt is the presence of large intermediate structures - monoclines, mega- and mesomonoclines. On the contrary, the Inner region of the basin is characterized by the presence of a large negative structure, complicated by smaller positive and negative elements. The main stages of the formation and development of the sedimentary cover of the Zeya-Bureya sedimentary basin are identified and described: rifting, early syneclise, late syneclise and neotectonic.

Structural and density modeling of the Earth's crust carried out using a deep seismic sounding profile previously tested along the western shelf of Sakhalin Island offered a clearer view of the layered block structure of the main tectonic faults and their newtwork within the crust of the region, where a large number of strong crustal earthquakes are concentrated. The density structures of the resulting model were compared with geological data on the adjacent territory of Sakhalin Island. Our structural and density model made it possible to separate volcanic blocks and blocks of sialic crust and to trace the submerged prolongation of the largest geological complexes of the western edge of Sakhalin Island on the shelf. There are signs of spatial correlation between seismic events and some tectonic faults.

The Deposit-Return System in the Current European Background
Authors: Ștefan Elena Emilia
Published: June 2024

Nowadays, given the background of the global climate change, the issue of responsible conduct towards society and nature, must concern us all. Current trends at European level are converging towards a growing legal awareness of the obligations we all have towards nature: public authorities, states, but also citizens. The situation of abandoned waste often leads public authorities to resort to public-private partnerships in order to offer possible solutions to protect the planet, preserve and improve the quality of the environment and mitigate man-made damage. The pretext of our paper is the introduction by the Romanian executive of the deposit-return system, as a legal novelty. It was adopted in October 2021 and launched on November 30, 2023. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to learn as much as possible about the implementation of this legal mechanism in our country, which aims to increase the collection and recycling of non-reusable primary packaging. In this regard, our analysis will investigate from an interdisciplinary perspective, on the one hand, the applicable legal framework and, on the other hand, will capture European trends regarding the deposit-return system. We believe that the topic is of general interest, which makes it important not only for public authorities but also for private individuals. Using scientific research methods specific to law, we will emphasize the conclusion of the paper, namely that it is our responsibility to protect the environment in which we live and to contribute to a better quality of life through community involvement, so that we have a cleaner environment. Keywords: deposit-return system; administrative acts; state responsibility; central public authority for environmental protection
Las fronteras entre filosofía y religión en el pensamiento ricoeuriano. Un diálogo a propósito del problema del mal
Authors: González Marlén
Published: June 2024

Nuestro trabajo propone un análisis de las ideas de libertad, mal y perdón a fin de transitar la frontera entre el discurso propiamente filosófico y el discurso religioso o kerigmático en la obra de Paul Ricoeur. El paso por estas ideas nos permitirá distinguir tres formas de contacto posibles entre filosofía y religión. Así, hablaremos en un primer momento de una aproximación; luego, trataremos de definir la frontera o separación que Ricoeur establece entre ambas a partir de la cuestión de la hermenéutica y, finalmente, plantearemos la posibilidad de un olvido de las fronteras propiciado por el problema del perdón y de la falta. Teniendo como eje principal el problema del mal en el pensamiento del filósofo francés nuestra tesis principal será sostener que con la propuesta del perdón difícil culmina un diálogo entre filosofía y religión en donde las fronteras entre una y otra se desvanecen.

Given the need for the Russian Federation to adapt to sanctions and increase its resilience to new challenges, there is an urgent need to improve tax policy in the sphere of international taxation. This article proposes several conceptual approaches to protecting Russia's tax interests and ensuring its sovereign rights in the international tax sphere. In this regard, the authors conduct an empirical assessment of the consequences for Russia of foreign initiatives to distribute global profits between jurisdictions in the context of the country’s limited participation in traditional information exchange. The assessment addressed the areas of international exchange of tax information and procedures for resolving international tax disputes. The authors suggest measures to counter the erosion of the national tax base in the context of limited cooperation and collaboration in tax administration. Once we have clarified the current multilateral and bilateral international tax treaties with states that have not imposed sanctions on Russia, we will be able to assess the country's attractiveness to investors from these countries and understand the practical implications of the findings.

The article presents a review of publications devoted to the approaches to assessing the impact of external shocks on the economy in general and on certain aspects of taxation in particular. It considers both studies that assess this impact by analyzing macroeconomic indicators (less often — budget indicators) and building econometric models (mainly SVAR and VAR models are used in this case), and studies in which various authors propose their own indicators to assess this impact (most often they are either sustainability indicators or stress indicators). Special attention is paid to publications the subject of which is the impact of new challenges on the tax system. A separate block includes publications in which the above issues are considered in relation to the Russian tax system. These are not only scientific articles on the topic, but also documents of international organizations, such as the International Monetary Fund, OECD, World Bank, etc. In addition, the article provides an overview of publications of foreign scientific institutes and research centers. Sanctions imposed on the economy of the Russian Federation are a particular case of an external shock. Thus, a review of publications assessing the impact of new challenges (by the example of sanctions) on the tax system of the Russian Federation is presented. The authors conclude that to assess the impact of new challenges on the tax system it is more advisable to use indicators based on statistical tax reporting.

An Initial Approach of Multiple Linear Regression in CO2-water Relative Permeability Prediction for Carbon Storage Projects
Authors: Yu Ying
Published: June 2024

This work discusses the feasibility of multiple linear regression in predicting water/CO2 relative permeability using training and testing datasets from two nearby wells, separately, of the Lower Cretaceous Lakota Sandstone, Jurassic Hulett Sandstone, and Pennsylvanian Minnelusa Formation at the Dry Fork Station site. The outcome is promising as the predicted and measured relative permeability data are decently comparable. Yet, whether this approach could be generally applicable needs more delicate models and larger training datasets to be determined.
Dynamic Rupture Modeling in a Complex Fault Zone with Distributed and Localized Damage
Authors: Mia Md Shumon , Zhao Chunhui , Elbanna Ahmed , Ben-Zion Yehuda
Published: June 2024

Active fault zones have complex structural and geometric features that are expected to affect earthquake nucleation, rupture propagation with shear and volumetric deformation, and arrest. Earthquakes, in turn, dynamically activate co-seismic off-fault damage that may be both distributed and localized, affecting fault zone geometry and rheology, and further influencing post-seismic deformation and subsequent earthquake sequences. Understanding this co-evolution of fault zones and earthquakes is a fundamental challenge in computational rupture dynamics with consequential implications for earthquake physics, seismic hazard and risk. Here, we implement a continuum damage breakage (CDB) rheology model in our MOOSE-FARMS dynamic rupture simulator to investigate the interplay between bulk damage and fault motion on the evolution of dynamic rupture, energy partitioning, and ground motion characteristics. We demonstrate several effects of damage (accounting for distributed cracking) and breakage (accounting for granulation) on rupture dynamics in the context of two prototype problems addressed currently in the 2D plane-strain setting: (1) a single planar fault and (2) a fracture network. We quantify the spatio-temporal reduction in wave speeds associated with dynamic ruptures in each of these cases and track the evolution of the original fault zone geometry. The results highlight the growth and coalescence of localization bands as well as competition between localized slip on the pre-existing faults vs. inelastic deformation in the bulk. We analyze the differences between off-fault dissipation through damage-breakage vs. plasticity and show that damage-induced softening increases the slip and slip rate, suggesting enhanced energy radiation and reduced energy dissipation. These results have important implications for long-standing problems in earthquake and fault physics as well as near-fault seismic hazard, and they motivate continuing towards 3D simulations and detailed near-fault observations to uncover the processes occurring in earthquake rupture zones.
Mantle avalanches in a Venus-like stagnant lid planet

Stagnant lid planets are characterized by a globe-encircling, conducting lid that is thick and strong, which leads to reduced global surface heat flows. Consequently, the mantles of such planets can have warmer interiors than Earth, and interestingly, a pyrolitic mantle composition under warmer conditions is predicted to have a distinctly different mantle transition zone compared to the present-day Earth (Hirose, 2002; Stixrude and Lithgow-Bertelloni, 2011; Ichikawa et al., 2014; Dannberg et al., 2022). Instead of olivine primarily transforming into its higher-pressure polymorphs such as Wadsleyite and then Ringwoodite, at pressures corresponding to 410km and 520km depth in Earth, respectively, it instead transforms into a mineral assemblage of Wadsleyite, Majorite, and Ferropericlase (WMF), and then to Majorite + Ferropericlase (MF), before finally transforming into Bridgmanite at pressures corresponding to 660km depth in Earth (Stixrude and Lithgow-Bertelloni, 2011; Ichikawa et al., 2014). Convective motions in stagnant lid planets are dominated by small-scale instabilities (cold drips) forming within the mobile rheological sublayer under the rigid lid. Using ASPECT and a thermodynamic model of a pyrolitic mantle composition generated by HeFESTo, we show that under certain conditions, the small drips can pond atop the WMF-MF mineral phase transition. The barrier to convective flow arises from an exotic property of WMF assemblage having a negative thermal expansivity. In contrast to mobile lid planets that recycle their entire lithosphere via large-scale downwellings which pass through the WMF zone without difficulty (Dannberg et al., 2022; Li et al., 2024), the WMF zone in stagnant lid planets is capable of causing an ephemeral layering of the mantle. Our numerical models show that in stagnant lid planets with mantle potential temperatures that exceed 1900K, the smaller, cold drips from the lid continue to pile up until enough of them have coalesced that they collectively avalanche as a larger instability into the deeper interior.

Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have raised widespread concern about the use of this technology to spread audio and visual misinformation. In response, there has been a major push among policymakers and technology companies to label AI-generated media appearing online. It remains unclear, however, what labels are most effective for this purpose. Using two pre-registered survey experiments (total N = 7,579 Americans), we evaluate the consequences of different labeling strategies for viewers' beliefs and behavior. Overall, we find that all the labels we tested significantly decreased participants' belief in the presented claims. When it comes to engagement intentions, however, labels that merely informed participants that content was AI-generated tended to have limited impact, whereas labels emphasizing the content's potential to mislead more strongly influenced self-reported behavior, especially in the first study. Together, these results shed light on the relative advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to labeling AI-generated media.

Introduction: Physical activity (PA) is effective in improving physical and mental health outcomes of individuals within secure psychiatric care. However, psychiatric inpatients remain a seldomly heard population in research involving their care. This project reports on the co-development of a theoretically informed PA toolkit to promote physical activity within an inpatient setting.Methods: A behavioural analysis was conducted with 10 patients and 11 staff within a secure psychiatric hospital. Qualitative interviews and group discussions guided by the COM-B model were conducted to identify barriers to physical activity. Based on identified barriers, participant led solutions and suggestions for toolkit content were identified. The academic team selected intervention functions and behaviour change techniques from the behaviour change wheel (BCW) which were subsequently aligned with toolkit content. A final toolkit titled the ‘Move More’ toolkit was developed and produced.Results: Applying the COM-B model to interview transcripts, we identified six key subthemes reflecting the capability, opportunity and motivation components of the model. Using the BCW, we selected three intervention functions (education, training and enablement) and six behaviour change techniques ( restructing the social environment, instructions on performing behaviour, social support, demonstration of behaviour, self-monitoring of behaviour and information about health consequences). Incorporating these components, the final toolkit consisted of four sections: education on the benefits of physical activity engagement, ways to prepare for physical activity (e.g., selecting appropriate clothing), examples of activities that patients could engage in within a ward environment, and self-monitoring tools including a PA planner.Significance: The toolkit was developed using principles of co-production and guided by the BCW. This approach presents a key contribution to literature by demonstrating how principles of co-production can be employed with the BCW in a complex, often hard to reach population. This may represent a valuable approach to develop targeted and effective health interventions within psychiatric populations.
Emotional Ambivalence in Daily Life: Implication for Depression, Anxiety, and Stress

Emotional ambivalence—the simultaneous experience of positive and negative emotion toward the same target—is associated with affective outcomes such as depression and anxiety across various life-changing events. However, existing studies often examined it as a trait, leaving its everyday dynamics understudied. Across five experience sampling datasets (Study 1: 110 adults, 2,060 observations; Study 2: 447 adults, 16,128 observations; Study 3: 40 adults, 4,542 observations; Study 4: 299 adults, 3,796 observations; Study 5: 756 adults, 7,378 observations), this study examined (a) the short-term variability of emotional ambivalence, and (b) the association between emotional ambivalence and momentary affective outcomes (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) in daily life. Results showed that emotional ambivalence varied significantly throughout the survey period. Higher levels of emotional ambivalence at both state and trait levels were associated with increased depression, stress, and anxiety in most studies. After controlling for mean positive and negative emotions, higher emotional ambivalence remained significantly associated with higher depression and anxiety in most studies, though many trait-level results were insignificant. A mini meta-analysis further indicated that emotional ambivalence at both trait and state levels was significantly associated with these affective outcomes across five studies, except for the association between emotional ambivalence at the trait level and stress. This comprehensive examination highlights the need to consider the fluctuations in emotional ambivalence. The insights gained also underscore the importance of considering the multifaceted nature of emotional experiences for a better understanding of emotional experience and well-being.
Sources of Bias in General Linear Models: Evaluating the Analytic Practice in Psychological Research

Published: June 2024

Unbiased estimation and hypothesis testing in General Linear Models requires several conditions to be met, such as adherence to statistical assumptions and absence of influential data points. This study examined the extent to which researchers in psychology attend to these sources of bias when presented with analytic tasks. We recruited 188 psychology researchers who completed two data analytic scenarios. Researchers' analytic scripts and descriptions were subsequently coded based on their level of attentiveness to issues with non-normal model errors, heteroscedasticity, outliers, and influential cases. We found that for all categories, researchers either performed no checks for potential issues or performed checks that were insufficient to detect the issue at hand. Researchers who teach research methods were more likely to perform the correct checks than non-teaching faculty, post-doctoral researchers and Ph.D. students, however this difference was small and the highest posterior density intervals overlapped substantially. We discuss the implications of routinely neglecting violated assumptions and influential cases, and present the case for more frequent application of robust statistical methods to supplement or replace ordinary least squares general linear models.
The behavioral fallout of combined early-life adversity: maternal separation and limited bedding-nesting both increase goal tracking, delay discounting, and impulsive action, and moderate sign-tracking-perseverance associations in rats

Extensive research with rodent models has shown detrimental effects of early-life adversity (ELA) on behavioral (e.g., impulsive behavior, anxiety, and depression) and neurobiological processes (e.g., alterations of neuroendocrine processes and maturation of brain areas). However, heterogeneous methodologies, including types and variations of ELA manipulations could have contributed to inconsistent findings across studies. Maternal separation (MS) and limited bedding/nesting (LBN) are widely implemented rodent ELA protocols. Orso et al. [1] concluded that combined MS and LBN produce consistent and robust effects due to the complementary roles of the two manipulations, which result in a jointly increase of the challenging conditions imposed to both the dam and the offspring. We explored the effects of combined MS-LBN on four processes linked to both ELA and behavioral disorders in later stages of life: Incentive salience of reward cues, and impulsive choice, action, and persistence/perseverance. Incentive salience was assessed with an Autoshaping Pavlovian conditioning task (AUT). Interaction with the extended lever in an operant chamber was measured as sign-tracking (ST) and nose-pokes in the food-delivery location as goal-tracking (GT). ST was used as an indicator of incentive salience. Impulsive choice was assessed using a delay-discounting task (DDT). Preference for a smaller-sooner reward (SS; 1 pellet immediately) over the larger-later reward (LL; 3 pellets after 0 to 16-s delays) was used as a measure of impulsive choice. Impulsive action was assessed with a multiple schedule of reinforcement with long and short Variable Intervals (VI15 s-VI60 s, respectively). Ineffective/excessive responding during each schedule (i.e., low efficiency) was used as a measure of impulsive action. Extinction (EXT) was introduced when steady performance in the multiple schedule was reached. The number of unreinforced lever presses during EXT was used as a measure of behavioral persistence/perseverance. Lastly, a re-test of the DDT assessed consistency and long-term effects of ELA on impulsive choice. Rats with MS-LBN during post-natal days 2-21 (N = 8) and without ELA (N = 8) were exposed to all the behavioral tasks across a span of 18 weeks. As compared to the No-ELA group, MS-LBN rats displayed higher GT during the AUT, higher impulsive choice during test and re-test of the DDT, and less efficient responding during the long-interval schedule of reinforcement (VI60s). Associations between AUT and reinforcement-schedule performance were identified, with ELA moderating the relationship between ST and efficiency during training and persistence/perseverance during extinction.
