Authors: Gaha Rekha , Das Dorwin
Published: May 2024

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) violates women's human rights and is a major public health concern. Intimate relationship violence or non-partner sexual assault affects about one in three (30%) women worldwide at some point in their lives. These types of violence harm women's sexual, emotional, physical, and reproductive health. This kind of abuse against women is preventable. Women's empowerment encompasses six common qualities: psychological, political, legal, economic, physical, and social empowerment, encompassing various aspects of life.
Objectives: To assess the relationship between women’s empowerment and intimate partner violence.
To identify the prevalence and contributing factors of intimate partner violence among married women.
Materials and method: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was adopted for the study. The sample size was 352 and a purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample. Data was collected by face-to-face interviews using per-tested questionnaire during April, May, June, and July 2023. Questionnaire related to Socio-demographic information, Standard valid tool Conflict Tactics Scale tools (CTS) were used as instruments. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS version 22.
Results: Out of 352 respondents, nearly half (43.2%) were between the ages of 30 and 39. Half of the respondents (50.3%) had low decision-making levels. Likewise, the lowest proportion of the respondents (16.2%) had a moderate level. More than half of the respondents (58.5%) had a low level of empowerment, whereas only 3.4% of the respondents had a high level of empowerment. Regarding violence, physical was 20.2%, sexual was 24.1%, emotional was 33.2%, controlling behavior was 53.7%, and overall intimate partner violence was 68.5%. There is a statistically significant relationship between intimate partner violence and women’s age (p =<0.010*), duration of marriage (p=<0.009*), socioeconomic class (p = <0.01*), member of the organization (p = 0.005*), bank account (p=0.006*), empowerment (p = 0.020*), husband's alcohol habit (p = <0.01*), and husband's smoking habit (p = <0.01*).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that more empowered women had less experience with intimate partner violence, whereas less empowered women had more experience with emotional, sexual, and physical abuse, as well as dominating actions from their close relationships. Having children, household decision-making, and property ownership had no noticeable effect on the prevalence of intimate relationship violence. The likelihood of intimate relationship violence was not significantly impacted by having children, making decisions, or possessing property.

Inclusive and exclusive is a discourse of social-cultural relations which relates to the state and religion. In the context of Javanese Islamic history, some Islamic groups declare their truth of religion that propose exclusivity, anti-plurality and intolerance. This situation occurred during the 16th century at Pajang Kingdom. There are an Islamic group wishing to uphold Shari'a versus Hindu/Javanese groups who wished to apply local traditions. This has the potential to lead to various conflicts of society. In this condition, Serat Nitisruti, a poet from Pajang Karang Gayam, was published. This paper aims to reveal the inclusive concepts of Islam in the text. The concept will be explored through three stages: identification of the text, interpretation of the content, and the relevance of the concept to the present reality. The results of this study, first, Nitisruti was written by Karang Gayam in 1591 AD; Second, Nitisruti contains inclusive Islamic themes: openness of spirituality, educational ethics, politics, traditions, and society. Third, there is a universal concept of inclusive value in terms of ambek adiluhung (being noble), wuwus den aris (gentle speaking), tepo sliro (appreciating), tinarbuko (open) and mulat sariro hangroso wani (daring to blame yourself) which remains relevant to this present era.Keywords: Inclusive Islam, Serat Nitisruti, Poet of Pajang, Karang Gayam.  Inklusif dan eksklusif merupakan diskursus hubungan sosial-budaya yang terkait dengan cara bernegara dan beragama.

Situasi ini terjadi di Kerajaan Pajang abad 16 M dengan ditandai munculnya kelom­pok Islam dengan slogan tegaknya syariat versus kelompok Hindu/Jawa yang ingin menerapkan tradisi dan budaya lokal. Hal ini sangat potensial menimbulkan aneka konflik sosial antar kelompok masyarakat.

The article aims to present the views of teachers of English to young learners on their experiences of remote teaching during the pandemic. In this article, we present a selection of findings from two original qualitative studies conducted in July–August 2020 and February–March 2021. The authors of the article want to show how the respondents dealt with the situation of remote teaching English to young learners. In the results section, the authors considered, among other things, what aspects of online language teaching posed the greatest challenges for the teachers and children, and what elements of the remote education experience the teachers incorporated into their daily practice in the language classroom. The language teachers interviewed highlighted challenges in working with young learners that differ from lessons with older pupils, namely problems with switching on and operating equipment and a very short attention span. However, a noteworthy aspect emerging from the research is that all participants taking part in the interviews saw the positive sides of remote teaching. Most of them noted that there developed collaboration and mutual support among teachers during the pandemic, and that by exploring new materials, teachers explored a multitude of new sites, apps and tools that still accompany them in their classroom lessons.

The study aimed to investigate the impact of the changes in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic on Polish university students’ ability to focus and multitask, and the presumed disproportions in these skills between medical students and other students. We also analysed the differences in the evaluation of the organisation of classes during the pandemic in medicine and in other programmes. The study consisted of a survey on distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, an assessment of cognitive and motivational functions based on the PDQ-20 questionnaire and the authors’ original questions, and a test examining the ability to multitask on the Psytoolkit platform. 201 students participated in the study – 111 medical students and 90 other students. The respondents’ answers indicate their greater exposure to distracting stimuli and their increased tendency to multitask during distance learning. The results of the experimental test show that multitasking affects longer task processing and higher error rates. Medical students were less satisfied with the quality of distance classes. The level of subjective cognitive deficits and multitasking intensity was similar in both respondent groups. According to the above results, the use of methods engaging students in distance learning may be helpful for learning, enhancing the focusing processes. It is the first study investigating university students’ ability to focus and multitask during the pandemic distance learning.
An Empirical Study on Factors Affecting the Demand of Life Insurance Policies in Colombo District
Authors: R. R. T. Fernando , H. P. T. N. Silva
Published: May 2024

The life insurance market is a significant factor that affects the growth of an economy in any country. In developed countries, the life insurance market grows at a fast pace and stimulates the economy. However, most developing countries including Sri Lanka show a low growth rate in the life insurance market. This study focused on identifing the factors for the low demand for life insurance policies in the Colombo district. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire and the two-stage cluster sampling technique was utilized to select a sample size of 384. Based on the analysis result of the logistic regression, it was identified that age, family size, monthly income, awareness about policies, and subjective norms of respondents are significant variables that affect demand for life insurance. Moreover, it was revealed that people whose monthly income was more than Rs 90,000 were four times more likely than people with monthly incomes below Rs. 30,00 to be a life insurance policy holder. Also, it was discovered that people aged 50 years or above were three times more likely than the people of age between 20 and 29 years to be a life insurance policy holder. Furthermore, the study found that the awareness of people especially, among the non-policyholders in the Colombo district regarding life insurance, was at a low level, and a considerable number of responds had an unsatisfactory level of confidence about life insurance companies. Thus, it is necessary to take action to establish trust among the people about the insurance company and their policies. It is suggested that awareness programs about the importance of having life insurance in high-risk situations in the modern world and benefits of the life insurance for ordinary people to increase the demand for life insurance should be made available.
Plastic of Facades in the Technology of a Three-Layer Facade Panel
Authors: KURNIKOV D.V. , MAKAROV N.A.
Published: May 2024

It is noted that the task of forming plastic facades is directly opposite to the idea of industrialization in housing construction. Each time it is a search for a balance between unification and diversity. In most cases, domestic architects and designers have to adhere to the principle of unification due to the need to comply with factory technology. A flat panel of the same type is convenient and technologically advanced. Fewer operations during equipment readjustment, fewer risks and more turnover of the formwork. As a result, the cost of construction is reduced. To overcome the negatively perceived image of a panel house, it is necessary to ensure the diversity and plasticity of facade panels, silhouette and sculpturality of three-dimensional composition, the use of projections, undercuts, recessed attic floors and terraces.

Authors: AKULOVA I.I. , SLAVCHEVA G.S.
Published: May 2024

The problems and organizational and methodological approach to conducting technological and design practices of master’s students studying in the direction of 04/08/01 «Construction» are presented. It is proposed to organize these types of practices at the basic enterprise of the construction complex as a single process based on a combination of interdisciplinary, group and project approaches. Undergraduates divided into subgroups successively implement the common task to the team, first on technological, and then on design practice. The main task of the technological practice is to audit the quality and marketing systems of the base enterprise, which ends with the definition of its production and marketing problems. After defending the report, which contains, in addition to the team, an individual task for each member of the subgroup, undergraduates are given a task for project practice. Being a logical continuation of the previous one, it is associated with the development of measures to eliminate the identified problems, the calculation of financial costs for their implementation and the forecast assessment of changes in the cost of finished products. The approach considered in the article has been implemented for undergraduates within educational program «Quality Expertise and Marketing of Building Materials» at the Voronezh State Technical University. The proposed methodology of organizing practices contributes to improving the level of professional competencies that are formed in the process of practical training of undergraduates. The methodology, according to the authors, can be replicated for other master’s degree programs in the field of «Construction».

THE ENEMY ON DISPLAY
Authors: Bogumił Zuzanna , Wawrzyniak Joanna , Buchen Tim , Ganzer Christian , Senina Maria
Published: May 2024

Eastern European museums represent traumatic events of World War II, such as the Siege of Leningrad, the Warsaw Uprisings, and the Bombardment of Dresden, in ways that depict the enemy in particular ways. This image results from the interweaving of historical representations, cultural stereotypes and beliefs, political discourses, and the dynamics of exhibition narratives. This book presents a useful methodology for examining museum images and provides a critical analysis of the role historical museums play in the contemporary world. As the catastrophes of World War II still exert an enormous influence on the national identities of Russians, Poles, and Germans, museum exhibits can thus play an important role in this process.
AT HOME IN POSTWAR FRANCE
Authors: Rudolph Nicole C.
Published: May 2024

After World War II, France embarked on a project of modernization, which included the development of the modern mass home. At Home in Postwar France examines key groups of actors — state officials, architects, sociologists and tastemakers — arguing that modernizers looked to the home as a site for social engineering and nation-building; designers and advocates of the modern home contributed to the democratization of French society; and the French home of the Trente Glorieuses, as it was built and inhabited, was a hybrid product of architects’, planners’, and residents’ understandings of modernity. This volume identifies the “right to comfort” as an invention of the postwar period and suggests that the modern mass home played a vital role in shaping new expectations for well-being and happiness.
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAWS
Authors: Akçam Taner , Kurt Umit
Published: May 2024

Pertinent to contemporary demands for reparations from Turkey is the relationship between law and property in connection with the Armenian Genocide. This book examines the confiscation of Armenian properties during the genocide and subsequent attempts to retain seized Armenian wealth. Through the close analysis of laws and treaties, it reveals that decrees issued during the genocide constitute central pillars of the Turkish system of property rights, retaining their legal validity, and although Turkey has acceded through international agreements to return Armenian properties, it continues to refuse to do so. The book demonstrates that genocides do not depend on the abolition of the legal system and elimination of rights, but that, on the contrary, the perpetrators of genocide manipulate the legal system to facilitate their plans.

Managing social relationships for childless couples in pro-natalist societies can be a difficult art to master, and may even become an issue of belonging for both men and women. With ethnographic research gathered from two IVF clinics and in two villages in northwestern Turkey, this book explores infertility and assisted reproductive technologies within a secular Muslim population. Göknar investigates the experience of infertility through various perspectives, such as the importance of having a child for women, the mediating role of religion, the power dynamics in same-gender relationships, and the impact of manhood ideologies on the decision for — or against — having IVF.
Russians at the Gates
Authors: Youngblood Denise J.
Published: May 2024

This article analyzes two recent streaming series—the third season of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (Prime, USA, 2022) and the limited series Treason (Netflix, UK, 2022)—as aspects of “Cold War II,” the increasingly common term for the resurgence of anti-Russian attitudes and stereotypes in Anglophone cinema and television that has been apparent since 2010. These two series reflect a shared fear of Russians and offer interesting and illuminating points of comparison, especially regarding their definitions of the threat (internal or external), the battleground (at home or abroad), and strategies for confronting the enemy (shoot ’em up or run and hide). At the same time, these series reflect different national concerns, with Jack Ryan 3 as one of many US-produced spy thrillers that trumpet aggressive, offensive action in a way that deflects attention from the country's serious divisions and protracted domestic crises. Treason, on the other hand, engages with British concerns over corruption in the UK's police and security services. Finally, the series’ differing treatments of the relationship of the not-so-distant past to present dangers (real and perceived) is also noteworthy, if puzzling; the demise of the Soviet Union is central to the crisis in Jack Ryan 3 but only glancingly mentioned in Treason.

La perspectiva de los oyentes sobre la comunicación con personas Sordas
Authors: Higuera Aguirre Edison Francisco , Ordóñez Guamán Sandra Verónica
Published: May 2024

Las personas Sordas se comunican entre ellas por medio de lengua de señas, y con los oyentes por medio de un intérprete. Cabe señalar que la mayoría de la población oyente ha realizado pocos esfuerzos para establecer canales de comunicación con las personas Sordas, por ende, existen barreras de comunicación entre ambos grupos. En este sentido, se propone analizar la perspectiva de las personas oyentes sobre la comunicación con personas Sordas. Con esta finalidad, se desarrolló una investigación cuantitativa, de diseño no experimental y transeccional. La técnica empleada fue la encuesta; el instrumento fue el cuestionario denominado: “Proyecto de sensibilización sobre las necesidades de comunicación de la comunidad Sorda del Ecuador”, conformado por siete preguntas. Este cuestionario fue diseñado por los investigadores específicamente para este propósito. Los resultados señalan que la mayoría de los encuestados conoce que las personas Sordas pueden utilizar un intérprete para comunicarse con las personas oyentes; un poco más de la mitad considera que esta medida satisface sus necesidades de comunicación. Además, la mayoría de los encuestados expresaron su disposición para aprender lengua de señas como una forma de comunicación con personas Sordas. Finalmente, se puede concluir que los beneficiarios del proyecto de vinculación manifestaron su interés en aprender lengua de señas. No obstante, es posible que estas expresiones no reflejen la comprensión total del compromiso y las implicaciones de aprender esta lengua.
The Effectiveness of Ylang Ylang Oil (Cananga Odorata) as a Deparaffinizing Agent in Hematoxylin-Eosin Staining

Histological staining usually requires deparaffinization before starting the staining process. Deparaffinization is a paraffin removal step that often uses a xylol solution. Deparaffinization with xylol has disadvantages, including being toxic, harmful to the human body, and hazardous to the environment. A safer alternative to xylol is required. Ylang-ylang oil, which contains β-caryophyllene, is non-polar and can be used as a substitute for xylol. This study aimed to compare the staining quality of guinea pig liver tissue slides with and without heating as a deparaffinization agent in hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The research set up a quasi-experimental approach using samples of guinea pig liver tissue slides. The sample size was calculated using the Federer formula (n-1) (t-1) ≥ 15, resulting in a total sample of 27 slides divided into three treatment groups: xylol, ylang-ylang oil with and without heating. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to examine the data. The quality staining of guinea pig liver slides deparaffinized with xylol was 100% good, and deparaffinization of ylang-ylang oil with heating was 100% good, whereas deparaffinization with ylang-ylang oil without heating was 11.1% less good, and the quality was good with an 88.9%. The normality test indicated that the data were not normally distributed (p0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis test was then used.

Poucos estudos sobre a diversidade de espécies de macroalgas têm sido realizados no Noroeste da Península Ibérica. Com o presente estudo, pretendemos fornecer a caracterização descritiva taxonómica morfológica das espécies de macroalgas recolhidas em zonas costeiras portuguesas (por exemplo na praia de Moledo e Vila Praia de Âncora) e espanholas (O Muiño, A Guarda, na desembocadura do rio Minho), e organizar estes organismos no futuro “Natural History Museum of the Iberian Peninsula” / Museu de História Natural da Península Ibérica-NatMIP. Para isso, recolhemos e identificamos macroalgas de diferentes pontos desta região, que foram sistematicamente organizadas e colocadas no NatMIP, que atualmente faz parte do Aquamuseu do Rio Minho, no município de Vila Nova de Cerveira. Esta lista de espécies obtida inclui um total de 40 exemplares de 24 espécies válidas (das quais, apenas Chondrus crispus var. filiformis não foi encontrado noutros estudos da costa portuguesa), pertencentes a 11 ordens, 4 classes (Ulvophyceae, Phaeophyceae, Bangiophyceae e Florideophyceae) e 3 filos (Chlorophyta, Ochrophyta e Rhodophyta). Assim, desejamos contribuir para a literatura, pois os dados desta região são limitados. Este estudo também é um recurso importante, pois mantivemos os espécimes observados conservados na coleção do NatMIP e podem ser utilizados para pesquisas futuras, incluindo estudos de monitorização ambiental.
Role of Economic Expansion, Energy Utilization and Urbanization on Climate Change in Egypt based on Artificial Intelligence

Published: May 2024

This study employs machine-learning algorithms (ML), specifically Random Forest (RF) and Gradient Boosting (GB), to assess the impact of various factors, including Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, urbanization, and energy consumption, on carbon dioxide emissions (CO2). The research underscores the RF algorithm's superior accuracy in determining independent variables' influence on CO2 emissions compared to GB. Furthermore, the study reveals that natural gas is the most significant contributor to CO2 emissions in Egypt, accounting for 49.7% of the total, followed closely by oil at 46.7%. The effect of other variables on CO2 emissions is relatively minimal. The findings also establish a strong positive correlation between the consumption of natural gas, oil, and coal and CO2 emissions in Egypt. Additionally, a negative relationship is observed between GDP growth, suggesting a positive trend in environmentally friendly economic expansion and urbanization on CO2 emissions in Egypt. This unique scenario, where urban expansion appears to have an inverse relationship with CO2 emissions, sets Egypt apart from many other countries and signifies a favorable environmental outcome.

The rapid pace of climate change and global warming has become an ever growing challenge all over the world. Global warming and carbon concentrations can be mitigated by adopting strict environmental policies and effective management of the environment. Therefore, the study aims to empirically investigate the effect of environmental policy stringency (EPS), energy productivity and environmental management technologies (EMT) on pollution emission in Indonesia- one of the most polluting countries of the world. To this end, the study collects data over the 1990 to 2020 period. The study uses Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) approach to carry out empirical estimation. The findings reveal that environmental management technologies, energy productivity and environmental policy stringency had negative impact on CO2 emission. However, economic growth (GDP) and urbanization had positive role in increasing CO2 emission in the long run and the short run. On the basis of the outcomes, the study recommends that Indonesia should adopt strict environmental policies and legislations to mitigate environmental deterioration. Indonesian government is recommended to promote the adoption of environmental management technologies by providing substantial incentives and investment opportunities for businesses.

Published: May 2024

Currently, the generation of CO2 emissions into the environment has increased due to the use of fossil fuels by the transportation sector and other economic sectors, motivating governments to propose mitigation actions. As a result, the search for zero-emission transportation alternatives has gained momentum, with Hydrogen technology being one of the promising solutions due to its clean and efficient energy source. In compliance with this, the Hydrogen roadmap was developed in Colombia, which seeks to encourage the use of hydrogen as a fuel and energy generator in the country. In this study, the current composition of the vehicle fleet was characterized, then a dynamic simulation model was constructed for the replacement of fossil fuel vehicles with zero-emission vehicles, considering the particularities of the country, to finally analyze the generation of CO2 in the vehicle fleet from different scenarios related to the policies proposed by the government of Colombia and stipulated in the roadmap of hydrogen. With this, it was possible to demonstrate the positive impact of taking measures for vehicle replacement in the long term. Additionally, the model could be employed in other countries, considering the particularities of the vehicle fleet and the regulations specific to the regions.

Through an empirical analysis of the impact of variations in the international price of oil on the economic production of different strategic sectors and on energy production from various sources in Ecuador, the study seeks to show evidence on the economic effects of the price of oil. in a Latin American economy strongly linked to oil production. For this, relevant data were collected on production in different economic sectors, on the type of ownership in oil production and on energy production in various energy sources in Ecuador and statistical analyzes were carried out to evaluate the relationships between these and the international oil price. The results indicate that the effect of the oil price varies between the economic sectors of Ecuador. Some sectors, such as financial services and construction, show positive responses, while others, such as agriculture and fishing, appear less affected. The oil and mining sector in Ecuador is strongly linked to variations in the price of oil. The positive and significant response of the Oil and Mines GDP underlines the sensitivity of this sector to changes in international prices. Furthermore, energy production in Ecuador exhibits heterogeneous responses to variations in the price of oil. Forms of energy such as wind, solar, and thermal energy show positive and significant responses, while hydropower presents a negative response in some periods. Positive responses in forms of energy such as wind, solar, and thermal may indicate that the increase in the price of oil positively influences investment decisions in these energy sources. The study provides a significant contribution to the field of energy economics in oil-exporting countries and, particularly, in developing countries, as well as highlights the importance of energy diversification for these types of economies.
