Published: December 2024

The Center for Automotive Technical Education and Training (PUSDIKLAT) serves as a bridge to produce graduates with specific skills aligned with the needs of businesses and industries (DU/DI). In this context, PUSDIKLAT must prepare effective learning strategies across all Automotive Engineering subjects, including Fuel System Repair,  a core subject in the Automotive Engineering Department. However, the current learning approach remains conventional, resulting in the need to improve student performance and motivation. To address this issue, this study aims to enhance student competence by implementing Problem-Based Learning (PBL) at PUSDIKLAT SUZUKI, State University of Malang, in the subject of vehicle fuel system repair. This research adopts a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, utilizing instruments such as pre-tests, post-tests, field notes, and interview guidelines. The study was conducted over four meetings across two cycles. The results showed significant improvement: in the first cycle, the mastery level was 56% for knowledge and 48% for skills, which increased to 100% in the second cycle. The improvement in percentages across cycles is evident from the average scores. In the first cycle, the average score was 74 for knowledge and 72 for skills, which increased to 81 in the second cycle, exceeding the minimum criterion of 75. Additionally, student motivation and perceptions of PBL application were positive. These findings indicate that PBL effectively improves students' knowledge, skills, and motivation in learning fuel system repair.

Kecelakaan lalu lintas yang terjadi di Indonesia menurut Polri pada tahun 2023 sebesar 148.575. Penyebab kecelakaan tersebut, sebesar 61% karena faktor manusia, sebanyak 9% disebabkan faktor Mobil barangdan 30% disebabkan oleh faktor prasarana dan lingkungan. Mobil barang yang terlibat dalam kecelakaan meliputi sepeda motor sebanyak 73% dan angkutan barang sebanyak 12%. Salah satu upaya pengurangan penyebab kecelakaan lalu lintas, yang disebabkan oleh Mobil barangdengan dilaksanakan pemeriksaan kelaikan Mobil barangsecara berkala, khususnya pada kelaikan sistem pengereman mobil barang. Perkembangan sistem dan komponen rem antara lain dengan sistem LSPV. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui variasi beban yang akan di uji, prosedur cara pemuatan beban dan tingkat kecepatan terhadap efisiensi pengereman pada mobil barang dengan sistem LSPV dan non-LSPV. Metode penelitian menggunakan cara eksperimen melalui Road Test dengan cara memberikan muatan beban yang berbeda, prosedur cara pemuatan dan tingkat kecepatan yang berbeda untuk mengukur jarak pengeremannya, kemudian data ini diubah menjadi efisiensi rem. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan saat Mobil barangmelaju pada kecepatan 40 km/jam dengan beban sesuai Jumlah Berat yang Diijinkan (JBI) dengan cara pemuatan merata di seluruh bak pada mobil barang dengan sistem rem LSPV diperoleh hasil efisiensi rem sebesar 77,7% dan sistem rem non-LSPV sebesar 59,6%. Kondisi ini terjadi karena sistem rem LSPV akan meningkatkan fungsi rem pada roda belakang saat saat muatan ditambah, sementara untuk Mobil barangnon-LSPV dengan bertambah beban muatan mengakibatkan efisiensi remnya menjadi berkurang. Dengan variasi beban muatan yang ditumpuk bagian bak depan ataupun belakang mengakibatkan efisiensi rem menjadi berkurang, karena sebagian besar beban muatan menumpuk di salah satu sumbunya. Dengan cara pemuatan yang teridstribusi merata di seluruh bak Mobil barangmengakibatkan beban merata di setiap sumbu Mobil barangsehingga efisiensi rem berfungsi maksimal. Laju kecepatan Mobil barangjuga mempengaruhi  efisiensi remnya, semakin tinggi kecepatan berakibat kurangnya efisiensi rem dan semakin rendah kecepatan efisiensi rem menjadi besar.Kata Kunci : Jumlah berat yang diijinkan (JBI), Uji Rem, Tata Cara Pemuatan, Efisiensi Rem, LSPV

Published: December 2024

The telecoms sector is the focus of this research project, which thoroughly explores the critical success factors associated with the implementation of Agile project management techniques. It has shown out to be beneficial in the industry of telecommunications, notably in digital services and managed services. Research is primarily focused on identifying the key success factors related to both individuals & organizational aspects, and how they impact the success of projects within the managed services and digital services functional departments of selected organizations. The study examines the influence of 5 major variables which includes Team Size, Team Communication, Team Performance, Customer Involvement, and Management Involvement. Survey was conducted using random sampling, and 110 participants from two telecom organizations, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL) and Special Communications Organization (SCO), replied. According to findings, team size and performance (in terms of experience & Agile expertise) was found as critical success element. Furthermore, active customer interaction on a daily basis, as governance (rather than micromanagement), was highlighted as essential factors to project success. These five variables appeared as essential in this study. The study found a positive correlation between these characteristics and project performance, specifically in terms of project value. However, it was not possible to make precise statistical predictions about the strength of this association. Study also identified additional areas for investigation, with a particular emphasis on team communication, customer interaction, contract formats, and internal corporate regulations. While the study provided new insights into contract formats and the use of Agile methodology in quality assurance, more research is needed to gain a better understanding of the impact of people and organizational factors, especially in the telecommunications industry, which includes data services and managed services functional domains.

Mathematical Modelling of Epidemics: Insights from Differential Equations and Stochastic Processes
Authors: C S Nandini
Published: December 2024

Epidemic modeling is a key component in the assessment of infectious diseases transmission and guiding the public
health response. This report explores two primary approaches to epidemic modeling: It has categorized the models into
deterministic model where the disease spread is depicted using differential equations and stochastic models where probability
forms the basis of modeling the spread of the diseases. These approaches offer essential information about the nature of
epidemic behaviors, for example, the ability to forecast the trends of epidemic curves, and calculation of the basic reproduction
number (R0), assessment of child and caregiver, identification of protective/environmental factors, and assessment of
intervention approaches. The SIR and SEIR models based on ordinary differential equations that trace the shifting between
Susceptible, Infected and Recovered populations. They are especially good in large data scenarios where randomness, or the lack
of it, has negligible or no bearing and are fast in providing long-term trends. But they do not target small or more heterogenic
groups and do not account for stochastic fluctuations. On the other hand, stochastic models take into consideration the
variability of the disease’s transmission as well as the recovery time for disease, they are used for small population size or
variable conditions. These models, frequently calibrated through computations involving Monte Carlo simulation or stochastic
differential equations, allow for a wider envisaged set of outcomes and shed light on such scenarios as disease wiping out or
super spread events. However, they present higher computational costs and are sensitive with parameter estimates as well. It
highlights how problematic mathematical modeling is for evidence-informed decision making in public health, as evidenced by
COVID-19 pandemic. This highlights the need for constant refinement of the models – data streaming, population variability,
and adaptation of the model to real-world emerging issues such as climatic change and zoonotic diseases. Applying the
respective strengths of deterministic and stochastic models, further research is encouraged as well as policy implications
associated with the interaction between these models and infectious disease outbreaks

Authors: Basyir Damanhuri
Published: December 2024

Qurban worship is one of the essential rituals in Islam, encompassing not only a spiritual dimension but also significant economic, social, and environmental impacts. Observed annually during Eid al-Adha, the practice of Qurban reflects the obedience of Muslims to Allah SWT's command and serves as a tangible manifestation of sacrifice and social care. This study aims to analyze the concept of Qurban from a broader perspective by integrating economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The article examines how Qurban functions not only as a ritual act of worship but also as a mechanism for fostering social welfare and economic equity through the distribution of meat to underprivileged communities. Additionally, the environmentally friendly management of Qurban animals is highlighted as a crucial factor in promoting environmental sustainability. The research method utilized in this study is library research, involving a review of academic literature and relevant documents, as well as an analysis of Qurban practices in diverse regions. The findings reveal that Qurban has the potential to reduce economic disparities, strengthen social solidarity, and enhance community awareness regarding environmental conservation. The integration of Qurban with these three dimensions can deliver broader benefits to society, ensuring that the values inherent in Qurban extend beyond spirituality to positively impact social, economic, and environmental well-being.

Published: December 2024

Aim and tasks. To examine the participation of China and India in the work of the Arctic Council by considering 3 criteria and compare the performance of 2 countries in the work of the Council based on these indicators.

Methods. Structural-analytical approach, document analysis, comparative analysis, generalization and synthesis.

Results. There are formulated 3 criteria in the article: the number of delegates sent by China and India to the meetings of the Senior Arctic Officials of the Arctic Council (SAO AC); the number of projects in which both countries participate within the framework of the Council’s working groups; the content of these projects and their distribution among the Council’s groups. The lists of participants in the meetings of the SAO AC and the reports Beijing and Delhi submitted to the institution in question were studied to identify the indicators. Based on the consideration of these indicators, a comparative analysis of the participation of China and India in the work of the Arctic Council was conducted.

Conclusions. China is represented at SAO AC meetings by more delegates (2) than India (1–2 depending on the meeting). China implemented the largest number of projects in 2021–2023, India in 2019–2021. China increases its presence in the activities of the Council’s working groups with each period. The number of projects in which India participates jumps from period to period. China participated in 63 projects during the period 2013–2023, while India participated in 62 (this figure for India is not exact). Both countries focus on projects implemented within the framework of PAME, CAFF and AMAP, which is related to the environmental, climate and energy policies of the states.

Considering the trends in the youth labor market in the Russian and Belarusian States, it is necessary to strengthen regulation of the social-labor relations segment with young people, ensuring self-realization and employment of young professionals, The demand for their skills at the beginning of working life by involving young people in various national projects that contribute to the realization of youth’s work potential.
Features of Iran’s Integration Efforts in Trade Relations with Russia
Authors: Kozyrev A. S.
Published: December 2024

The relevance of this research is determined by the growing interest in integration processes in Eurasia and their impact on international trade relations, particularly in the context of the interaction between Russia and Iran. In the face of global economic challenges, Iran’s integration efforts within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) become a significant factor contributing to the development of foreign economic ties. The novelty of the study lies in the application of various econometric methods to the analysis of trade and integration between Iran and Russia.

Aim. The purpose of this study is to study the impact of Iran’s integration process into the economies of the EAEU and SCO on the foreign trade relations between Russia and Iran.

Tasks. The objectives of the research include calculating the trade complementarity index to assess the mutual complementarity of the trade profiles of Iran, Russia, and their trading partners, analyzing economic data and indicators of EAEU and SCO integration to gain a deeper understanding of Iran’s integration process into the regional economy and its implications for trade between Iran and Russia, as well as developing an econometric trade model to evaluate the influence of various factors, particularly those related to integration, on the trade turnover between Russia and Iran and other countries.

Methods. The methods employed include econometric modeling of international trade using a gravity approach, calculating the trade complementarity index, and descriptive statistics.

Results and Conclusions. The results demonstrate a low level of trade complementarity between the trade profiles of Russia and Iran, which may indicate a weak potential for trade development. Nevertheless, trade between Russia and Iran is at a low stage of development, and there is significant potential for growth in various areas. Iran’s successful efforts to integrate into the EAEU, the conclusion of a Temporary Agreement leading to the establishment of a free trade zone, and the Free Trade Agreement between the EAEU and Iran have become important incentives for increasing trade turnover and fulfilling existing potential. Econometric calculations show that the conclusion of free trade agreements and preferential trade agreements could lead to a multiple increase in trade turnover between Russia and Iran.
TRADITIONS OF THE PILGRIMAGE MOVEMENT IN RUSSIA AS ONE OF THE FOUNDATIONS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF THE IMPERIAL ORTHODOX PALESTINE SOCIETY
Authors:   Oryol State Agrarian University named after N.V. Parakhin, MAYOROV A.A.
Published: December 2024

The aim of the study is to examine the relatively little-studied internal social reasons for the success of the formation and development of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society. Pilgrimage, as an important component of spiritual life, had a significant impact on the self-awareness of the Russian people, spiritual practices and cultural traditions.
Until now, the main reasons for the rapid and active growth of the Palestinian Society have been considered to be aspects related to religion, dynastic ties, politics and diplomacy of the Russian Empire of the corresponding period, which currently seems to be a deliberate limitation of the approach. The attention of researchers has mostly ignored the specifics and features of the centuries-old Russian pilgrimage tradition and practices that were cultivated in Russian society virtually from the moment of the baptism of Rus and obviously influenced the processes under consideration.
The work uses historical-genetic and system-historical approaches based on the analysis of primary sources and archival materials. A comparative analysis with similar movements in other countries was also used. This allows us to understand more deeply the dynamics of the development of the pilgrimage movement and its impact on society.
In the course of examining the stated problems, a direct connection is shown between the Russian pilgrimage practices that had developed by the middle of the 19th century and the general Christian ones, dating back to the traditions of the end of the 1st millennium AD. The presented text notes the features of the historical and religious development of Russian society that were lost or did not exist in the Christian West, which led to the formation of a number of original and distinctive features that distinguished Russian Orthodox pilgrimage from the traditions of other Christian denominations. In this regard, it seems reasonable to assert that the activities of the Society, which became one of the most successful projects of interaction between the authorities and the broad masses of the people based on the support of the religious aspirations of the Russian people, achieved such significant results due to the organic use and application of the norms, customs and practices of Russian pilgrimage that had developed over a number of centuries.
FRENCH PRESIDENT NICOLAS SARKOZY ON THE PAGES OF THE BRITISH NEWSPAPER «THE GUARDIAN»: A MAN AND A POLITICIAN
Authors:   Orel State University named after I.S.Turgenev, GELLA T.N.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the issues of forming the image of the “other” by the media. The focus is on the President of France Nicolas Sarkozy (2007-2012). The relevance of the topic un-der consideration is due to the importance of the problems of perception and image, on the one hand, and the need to study the process of forming the image of the “other” in the context of the changing domestic and international situation as a whole, on the other. The novelty of the study is determined by the absence of a comprehensive study on the stated problem in Russian historical science. The main sources were British newspapers. The methodology of the study of the topic includes several key aspects that allow for a deeper understanding of both Sarkozy’s personality and his political activities in the context of British media perception. The method of content analy-sis includes a systematic study of articles, publications and comments. The frequency of mentions, themes of articles, emotional coloring of texts (positive, neutral, negative) are analyzed, and spe-cial attention is paid to keywords and phrases that are used to describe Sarkozy. To understand the context of Sarkozy's political activity, it is necessary to study his work, as well as compare his actions and statements with the events in Europe and the world at that time. This may include an analysis of his economic, social and foreign policy decisions. An important aspect is the compari-son of the perception of N. Sarkozy in the British and French media. This will allow us to under-stand the differences and similarities in approaches to his personality, as well as analyze the influ-ence of cultural and historical factors on this assessment.
Comparison of not only textual materials, but also visual ones, such as cartoons, photo-graphs, can also be useful for analyzing how The Guardian presented Sarkozy as a person and a politician.
Based on the analysis of publication materials and cartoons of the left-liberal British daily newspaper The Guardian, an attempt was made to create an image of the French president, con-sidering his characteristics as a politician and a person. The article touches upon only some as-pects of his activities, primarily foreign policy-oriented, and presents assessments of N. Sarkozy's personal qualities, as well as the reasons for his defeat in the 2012 presidential elections. A con-clusion is made about the importance of the media in forming the image of the "other" for the de-velopment of relations between different peoples.
PATRIOTIC ACTIVITIES OF MUSLIMS OF THE USSR DURING THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR
Authors:   St. Petersburg Theological Academy of the Russian Orthodox Church, SHKAROVSKY M.V.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the article is to study the patriotic activities of Muslims in the USSR during the Great Patriotic War. Patriotic activities during the Great Patriotic War and the improvement of relations with the Soviet state were characteristic not only of Christians living in the USSR, but also of representatives of other faiths and, above all, Muslims, who made up a significant part of the country's population.
The article is devoted to the participation of Muslims in the defense of the country in the period 1941–1945. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to analyze the role of various ethnic and religious groups in the historical context, as well as their contribution to military events. The study of the patriotic activity of Muslims in the USSR allows us to more fully present the diver-sity and unity of the Soviet people during the war, as well as to identify the features of their motiva-tion.
The work examines the problems of interaction between Muslim communities and state structures, methods of mobilization and formation of front-line units from representatives of Muslim peoples, as well as their participation in partisan movements and labor fronts. The issue of the influence of religious and cultural values on patriotic activity and morale of colleagues will also be raised.
The research methodology is comprehensive and based on an interdisciplinary approach. Research methods include the analysis of archival documents, publications of that time, as well as oral memories of veterans. The use of an interdisciplinary approach that combines historical, soci-ological and cultural methods allows for a deeper understanding of the context and content of patriotic manifestations of Muslims during the war.
The analysis revealed that Muslims of the USSR made a significant contribution to the fight against fascism. Their participation not only in military operations, but also in providing assistance on the rear front demonstrates a high level of patriotism and devotion to their country. Thus, the presented study emphasizes the importance of taking into account ethnocultural aspects in study-ing the history of the Great Patriotic War and demystifying the public perception of the collective activities of different peoples of the USSR.
THE PROJECT OF THE REFORM OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE RUSSIAN CHURCH, DEVELOPED BY THE HUNDRED-DOMED COUNCIL AND THE PROBLEM OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION
Authors:   Orel State University named after I.S.Turgenev, SAVOSICHEV A.Yu.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the article is to study the problem of relations between the state and the Church in the era of Ivan the Terrible. The main trend in this area emerged in the second half of the 15th century - the gradual subordination of the Church to the state. This process was not straightforward. At the initial stage of Ivan the Terrible's reign, another attempt by the Church to weaken the guardianship of the state occurred, associated with the activities of Metropolitan Macarius, one of the outstanding archpastors of the Church.
The study of the topic requires the use of various methodological approaches and tools. The documentary method helped to consider the resolution of the Bishops' Council of the Russian Church, which went down in history under the name of the Stoglav Council.
The historical and analytical approach was the main research method, which allowed not only to describe, but also to interpret the events associated with the work of the Stoglav Council. The author focused on those that concerned changes in the field of church administration. The reforms were intended to restore the canonical order of church governance, firstly, by increasing the role of the episcopate in it, and secondly, by strengthening control by society and the state.
The article examines the data from sources on the degree of practical implementation of the reform program. It is concluded that the measures that were aimed at strengthening state control over the Church were implemented to the greatest extent. The system of governing bodies of the Russian Church had undergone a long evolution by the middle of the 16th century. As the clergy formed as an estate and in the course of the development of church land ownership, the Church's governing apparatus increasingly acquired features characteristic of the state apparatus, with all its advantages and disadvantages. Accordingly, the project for the reform of church governance, developed by the Stoglav Council, in many ways echoed the reforms that were carried out in the sphere of state construction in the 1550s. This indicates that the reform program was developed in one decision-making center, which historically was called the «Chosen Council». One of the key advisers to the tsar during this period was Metropolitan Macarius. Apparently, it was he who put the main idea of the reform of church governance into the acts of the Stoglav Council: strengthening the power of the episcopate to weaken state control over the Church. This idea contradicted the main trend of state-church relations of the era. Therefore, after the death of Saint Macarius, the implementation of the program of reforms of church governance was curtailed. In practice, only those measures were implemented that contributed to the further strengthening of state control over the Church.

The study is devoted to the analysis of the demographic development of Orthodox parishes of the Black Earth Center of the Russian Empire in the chronological period from 1900 to 1917. The object of the study is the rural community of the village of Dankovo in Voronezh, the village of Navesnoye and Panikovets and a number of other parishes in the Oryol provinces. The purpose of the study is to comprehensively study the main demographic processes that took place in the studied regions. The work used the historicism method, typological, historical-comparative and other traditional methods. To study the mass documentation of the imperial period, primarily statistical processing of information, mathematical methods, computer technologies, etc. were used. The focus is on the analysis of the birth rate, mortality, natural population growth, as well as the marriage rate. The study involved examining archival materials from regional archives in the Voronezh (GAVO), Lipetsk (GALO), and Oryol (GAOO) regions. The main findings of the study included the beginning of the demographic transition in rural areas of the Chernozem region in the early 20th century. It was reflected in a decrease in the marriage rate, a reduction in mortality, and continued high birth rates among peasants. Despite the obvious beginning of the demographic transition, the marriage rate was close to 100%, and no divorces were recorded among peasants in these parishes. The decrease in mortality was mainly due to a decrease in the proportion of newborns, as infant mortality remained extremely high, although there was a downward trend. The author concludes that the rate of decline in the birth rate was lower than that of mortality, which created the effect of explosive natural population growth and, as a consequence, aggravated the negative trends of agricultural overpopulation in the Chernozem region.

The aim of the article is to study the historical tradition of the Oryol region in the field of demography, geography, toponymy, cultural studies, genealogy using the example of the history of the village of Fandeevo in the Oryol district during the 17th – 21st centuries. The history of the village in the 18th – 19th centuries was associated with the history of a typical provincial noble family of the Krivtsovs, whose representatives left their mark on Russian state, diplomatic, political activities, culture and social life, being associated with Russian monarchs, such outstanding figures of Russian culture as writers A.S. Pushkin, N.V. Gogol, T.G. Shevchenko, artists K.P. Bryullov and A.A. Ivanov and others. The methodology for studying the topic requires an integrated approach that covers various aspects and stages of research work. The historical and archival approach includes the analysis of archival documents, state, church and private records that may contain information about the village of Fandeevo, its population and cultural traditions. Establishing the authenticity and significance of various sources, as well as their interpretation in the context of the historical era.
The cultural and anthropological approach consists in observing cultural practices associated with holidays, customs and everyday life in the village. This may include research into folklore, music, crafts and other traditions.
Geographical analysis is based on the use of geographic information systems and clarification of the spatial distribution of the population in the village infrastructure, as well as comparison with historical maps. Comparative analysis based on an interdisciplinary approach contributes to a comprehensive assessment of the influence of the natural landscape on the development of the village, studying how the ecology of the territory is interconnected with cultural traditions.
Using the history of the village of Fandeevo in the Oryol district as an example, the cultural and historical tradition of the Oryol region is seen as a significant part of Central Russia. Toponymy, as an element of cultural tradition, shows the ways of forming the names of settlements - by church, by the names of the owners, names with historical variations. The history of the village of Fandevo in the 18th-19th centuries was associated with the history of a typical provincial noble family of the Krivtsovs, whose representatives left a mark on Russian state, diplomatic, political activity, culture and social life. Along with noble culture, the history of the village of Fandeevo also demonstrates many features of folk culture, including its manifestations during the revolutionary upheavals of the early 20th century.

Aim; Publications investigating the potential of various nutritional supplements such as antioxidants, probiotics, and phytochemicals to improve drug-induced nephrotoxicity has increased both qualitatively and quantitatively over the years. This bibliometric analysis evaluated highly cited 100 articles on the protective effects of nutritional supplements against nephrotoxicity published between 2010 and 2023.
Method; Articles published in these 13 years were evaluated through structured search in Scopus and Web of Science databases. Statistics and visualization techniques were done with VOSviewer and RStudio software.
Results; The increase rate of articles published on this subject was found to be %450. The average h-index of selected studies was calculated as 60. A total of 534 authors and a citation rate of 86.95 were determined. The total citation mean was determined as 9 per year. The top 3 supplements were curcumin (n=7) melatonin and probiotics (n=5) in the trends. Cisplatin and gentamicin are used as toxic agents in 34% of the top 100 articles we researched, and they continue to be a trend.
Conclusion; Trending and effective supplements in this field are curcumin, melatonin, berberine, quercetin and probiotics. Based on our investigations, we think that, the synergistic between the effective bioactive ingredients with probiotics and/or other functional foods suggest future novel approaches based on interactions involving microbiota, oxidative and inflammatory stress.
