Paremiological analysis of the linguo-cultural concept "Truth"
Authors:   Institute of Construction, Housing and Public Utilities, National Research University — Higher School of Economics (HSE University), Moscow, Russian Federation, Grigorieva Irina Andreevna
Published: September 2023

The article shows that the paremiological picture of the world (from the ancient Greek παροιμία (paroimia) "a parable, a proverb" and λόγος (logos) "a word, a doctrine") is associated with the linguistic picture of the world through proverbs, sayings, slogans, puzzles, and symbols, reflecting traditional ideas based on people's life experience. Paremias are special units and signs of the language, necessary elements of human communication. These signs convey specific information and show vital and mental states or relationships between specific objects. The paremias of all the peoples of the world are situations of the same type, they have the same logical content and differ only in images (details, realities), by means of which the logical content is published and the features of language, thinking, and culture are highlighted. The author analyzed 143 Russian proverbs containing the word "pravda" ("truth"), some of which are presented in the article. The materials of the article can be useful in the framework of the Linguistics major.

Published: September 2023

The cost of education at tertiary institutions in Indonesia is relatively high for some groups of people. Indonesian government agencies are trying to reduce this problem. One of the ways is by providing scholarships. The large number of scholarship enthusiasts becomes a challenge for the scholarship manager in making decisions on scholarship recipients.  Scholarship selection at UIN Ar-Raniry is undertaken manually, so it is less efficient in making decisions on scholarship recipients. Hence, Decision Support System is required in the selection of scholarship recipients so that it fits with the criteria. With the existence of predetermined criteria, the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method is employed in which this method is simple, the algorithm is not difficult, and produces precise and accurate analysis based on the specified criteria values and preference weights. This study aims to analyze the SAW algorithm in selecting KIP scholarships at UIN Ar-Raniry so that it can facilitate the selection process. This test is carried out by calculating the weight of the SAW method with the concept of the weighted sum of each alternative and all its attributes. Calculation of the best value ranking results obtained from all the alternatives used that are eligible to become KIP-College scholarship recipients. Hence, it can be concluded that by applying the SAW method in determining scholarship acceptance at UIN Ar-Raniry, it can help facilitate the selection of scholarships efficiently and effectively.
Deteksi Komentar Cyberbullying pada Media Sosial Instagram Menggunakan Algoritma Random Forest
Authors: Santoso Heri , Putri Raissa Amanda , Sahbandi Sahbandi
Published: September 2023

Cyberbullying is a phenomenon on social media where technological devices are used to insult, demean, and disrespect others. This can cause mental disorders such as loss of self-confidence, stress, depression, and even suicidal tendencies. The Ditch The Label survey, conducted by a British research institute, identified Instagram as the social media platform with the highest incidence of cyberbullying. The aim of this research is to determine the best accuracy based on the classification results of the cyberbullying comment dataset and to detect new comments as either bullying or non-bullying. One method that can be used is the random forest algorithm, which combines several similar or different methods, such as decision trees, in the classification process. The results of the classification of the testing data using the random forest algorithm show the highest accuracy of 84% in the last hyperparameter tuning combination. The built model can also detect new comments with fairly good predictive results. Suggestions for further research include classifying cyberbullying comments into more specific categories, such as racist or sexist comments.
FORMATION OF THE ARCHITECTURE OF TOURIST OBJECTS IN THE WETLAND OF SOUTHERN IRAQ
Authors: Al-Samawetli Ali , Skopincev A.
Published: September 2023

The problems of architectural shaping of tourism objects integrated into the wetland landscape are considered. The principles of "green architecture" have been adopted as the main design method in the formation of tourist complexes in the wetlands of Southern Iraq. The characteristic types of “autonomies” of the wetlands that have historically developed on the territory of the Iraqi marshes have been identified, including: a) a cultural landscape with the remains of former Sumerian cities; b) the natural preserved natural landscape of the Huweiza swamp; c) the degraded landscape of the Eastern and Western Hammar swamps, the Central Marshes. For each type of wetland landscape, a set of optimal methods and approaches is proposed for the formation of a sustainable "green architecture" of tourism facilities aimed at its conservation, rehabilitation and development. Techniques for organizing possible planning models of accommodation and spatial solution of dwellings and objects for tourists, adapted to the conditions of southern Iraq, are presented. A theoretical model for the formation of a tourist cluster in the wetlands of Southern Iraq is proposed, including four levels of organization of "green architecture" objects: 1) the level of allocation of "autonomies" of the wetland landscape, taking into account its natural and cultural potential; 2) the level of definition of "structural units" of the wetland landscape; 3) the level of search for optimal forms of tourism for each autonomy; 4) the level of building models of "green architecture" objects for each form of tourism

Authors: Sutakova E. , Gavriliev D. , Mestnikov A.
Published: September 2023

The paper considers the results of chemical and mineralogical analysis of ceramics of different times and deposits of clay raw materials of Central Yakutia. 7 ceramic fragments were examined, and a chemical and mineralogical analysis of three deposits of clay raw materials of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was performed. The clay raw materials of Yakutia have a different chemical and mineralogical composition, depending on the deposit of raw materials. The studied clay raw materials can be used to recreate the ancient technology of ceramics. There is also a prospect for use in the ceramic industry. For a more detailed study, Kangalas clay raw materials were studied, this raw material is characterized by a high content of kaolinite, and it can be further used to create high-temperature ceramics. As a result of the conducted studies of samples of ceramic fragments, it was possible to find out the microstructure, chemical and mineralogical composition and temperature regime of firing of ceramic fragments. The ceramic samples have a common chemical and mineralogical composition. The conducted research allowed us to obtain detailed information on the manufacture of ceramic fragments from different eras. These results can be used for a deeper understanding of the ancient technology of ceramics production and will allow a broader disclosure of general and particular issues of the historical development of pottery in different regions of Yakutia
Communication familiale et entre pairs : variations du comportement langagier d'adolescents bilingues
Authors: Billiez Jacqueline , Merabti Nassira
Published: September 2023

A partir d'un triple corpus de données recueillies sur une période de quatre ans (entretiens semi-directifs, observations d'échanges langagiers et dé réseaux de communication), nous analyserons le fonctionnement du répertoire verbal d'un groupe d'adolescents issus de l'immigration algérienne résidant à Tullins, une petite ville de la région grenobloise. Il s'agit d’un groupe d'une trentaine de filles et de garçons, âgés de 10 à 25, issus de six familles différentes et qui vivent avec leurs parents installés dans la même cité HLM depuis plus de quinze ans. La confrontation, en premier lieu, des représentations des usages de l'arabe, du français et du "mélange", aux pratiques effectives du parler bilingue au sein de la

famille, indique une convergence entre les deux dimensions à un niveau très général. En revanche, les choix de langue et les alternances de codes observés, classés puis comptabilisés montrent des stratégies et des fonctions plus diversifiées selon les sujets : différenciations filles/garçons, parents/enfants, pères/mères, enfants nés en France/nés en Algérie, etc... Dans un deuxième temps, les comportements langagiers au sein de la famille seront comparés à ceux observés dans le groupe de pairs du quartier et dans le cadre scolaire. L'accent sera mis sur les continuités/discontinuités dans les pratiques langagières des différents adolescents en relation avec les types de réseaux de communication auxquels ils ont accès.

Examining the Relationship Between the Socio-Demographic Characteristics of Park Visitors and Park Use by Nonlinear Canonical Correlation Analysis: The Case Study of Konya
Authors: ARISOY Nurgül
Published: September 2023

Modern cities have seen urban parks evolve from mere green spaces into integral components supporting human well-being and environmental sustainability. These parks offer individuals serene settings to unwind and reconnect with nature, promoting mental health by alleviating stress. However, as urbanization increases and public park demand surges, designing and planning these spaces becomes more challenging. To optimize park design, understanding user profiles and utilization patterns is crucial. By examining how visitor demographics intertwine with park usage, policymakers and planners can make informed decisions for future development.

This study employs Nonlinear Canonical Correlation Analysis (NLCC), a robust statistical tool, to explore the intricate connections between socio-demographic attributes of urban park visitors and their usage patterns. Focused on Konya, Turkey, the research delves into the non-linear relationships between socio-demographic characteristics and park usage. Survey data from 444 participants forms the basis of the analysis, unveiling inherent dataset structures and assessing correlations between attributes and usage patterns.

Results highlight the substantial impact of occupation, income, and age as determinants of socio-demographic characteristics affecting park use at an individual level. These findings hold significant implications for urban park planning and management. The research underscores the nuanced interplay between socio-demographic factors and usage patterns, offering targeted strategies for diverse visitor needs. As urban landscapes evolve, this study contributes to refining policies and practices that cultivate sustainable, equitable, and enjoyable park experiences for urban communities.

Objetivo: Conhecer os impactos da terapia anticoagulante nos pacientes que desenvolvem coagulação intravascular disseminada. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura. Foram realizadas buscas nas seguintes bases de dados: LILACS, PubMed, Scielo, entre os meses de fevereiro e março de 2023, utilizando os descritores extraídos do DeCS (Descritores em Ciências da Saúde) e através do operador booleano AND. Tendo como critérios de inclusão: artigos que estejam disponíveis na íntegra, em português, inglês e espanhol. Os artigos foram analisados e apresentados em forma de tabela nos resultados e em seguida, discutidos. Resultados e discussões: A sepse é a principal condição clínica associada à Coagulação Intravascular Disseminada (CIVD). Em alguns casos, a progressão clínica é rápida e grave, e um tratamento precoce é crucial para uma melhor recuperação. Utilizando o escore de diagnóstico de CIVD proposto pela Sociedade Internacional de Trombose e Hemostasia, investigamos a incidência de CIVD em pacientes admitidos na unidade de terapia intensiva. Analisamos retrospectivamente as concentrações séricas dos marcadores de coagulação e fibrinólise nas primeiras 72 horas da internação, assim como o papel desses marcadores como indicadores precoces do desenvolvimento de CIVD. Conclusão: Portanto, evidenciou-se que, uma vez que os ensaios clínicos de terapia para sepse têm priorizado a intervenção precoce na interrupção do ciclo vicioso de inflamação e coagulação desencadeado pela infecção, a identificação de fenótipos da coagulopatia pode desempenhar um papel fundamental na personalização do tratamento do paciente e, potencialmente, na melhoria dos desfechos clínicos.

Published: September 2023

Рассмотрена современная безопасная технология производства низкоконцентрированного гипохлорита натрия из растворов поваренной соли. Подробно описаны основные стадии технологического процесса. Особое внимание уделено вопросам промышленной безопасности и надежной эксплуатации электролизеров – установок приготовления гипохлорита натрия, произведенного на Южной и Северной водопроводных станциях ГУП «Водоканал Санкт-Петербурга». Использование низкоконцентрированных растворов гипохлорита натрия позволяет повысить безопасность технологических процессов очистки воды. Сырьем для производства гипохлорита натрия служит поваренная соль. Поскольку реагент используется непосредственно на месте получения, отпадает необходимость транспортировки. Сочетание обеззараживания обрабатываемой воды низкоконцентрированным гипохлоритом натрия (первая ступень) с ультрафиолетовым облучением (вторая ступень) перед подачей в городскую водопроводную сеть гарантирует полное соответствие качества воды по микробиологическим показателям действующим нормативам и ее высокую эпидемиологическую безопасность.

An advanced safe technology for the production of low-concentration sodium hypochlorite from salt brine is considered. The main stages of the technological process are described in detail. Particular attention is paid to the issues of industrial safety and reliable operation of electrolyzers – units for the preparation of sodium hypochlorite at the Southern and Northern water treatment facilities of SUE «Vodokanal of St. Petersburg». The use of low-concentration solutions of sodium hypochlorite provides for improving the safety of water purification processes. Salt is the raw material for the production of sodium hypochlorite. Since the chemical is used directly at the place of production, there is no need for transportation. The combination of disinfection of treated water with low-concentration sodium hypochlorite (first stage) with ultraviolet irradiation (second stage) before supplying it to the city water supply network guarantees full compliance of water quality in terms of microbiological indicators with current standards and its high epidemiological safety.

Entering the political year ahead of the 2024 general elections, the public has started to feel the political temperature starting to warm up. This is marked by the start of popping up billboards for political figures who plan to advance in the 2024 general elections. The edition of the Ganjar Miss Puan magazine, September 19-25 2022, revealed how Puan did political publicity. In this tempo magazine it w, as ordered that Ganjar Pranowo's chances of becoming a presidential candidate through the PDI Perjuangan party were almost closed. The door is wide open for Puan Maharani to run as a presidential candidate through the PDI Perjuangan party. Using Peirce's semiotics, there are three trichotomies to analyze photojournalism, namely the first trichotomy of representament consisting of Qualisign, Sinsign, and Legisign. Trichoto is one of the two objects, consisting of icons, indexes, and symbols. Interpretant's third trichotomy consists of Rhema, Decisign, and Argument. Researchers analyzed five journalistic photos in-depth and were analyzed using the three trichotomies. The results of the research show that the 15 – 25 September 2022 edition of Tempo Magazine displays various forms of political publicity strategies carried out by Puan Maharani. This can be seen from most of Puan Maharani's journalistic photos by carrying out pure publicity and free-ride publicity strategies. Puan Maharani also often wears black clothes which means strong and elegant for her.

Implementation framework for robust detection, synchronization, and decoding of M-ASPM communications
Authors: Nikitin Alexei , Davidchack Ruslan
Published: September 2023

M-ary Aggregate Spread Pulse Modulation (M-ASPM) is a recently introduced physical layer (PHY) modulation technique that is well suited for use in low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs). Notably, M-ASPM combines high energy-per-bit efficiency, robustness, resistance to interference, and a number of other favorable technical characteristics, with the spread-spectrum ability to maintain the capacity of an uplink-focused network while extending its range. However, while the essential tools for detection and synchronization of pulsed spread-spectrum waveforms in general, and the M-ASPM signals in particular, have been previously provided, a practical framework for combining the detection, synchronization, and decoding of an M-ASPM packet has not yet been suggested. In this paper, we outline such a framework, and describe a prototype algorithm for its implementation. This implementation can be subsequently adapted, under given technical constraints, to specific practical complications such as, for example, significant delay spreads, external technogenic interference, or co-channel and inter-channel collisions. In addition to low latency and computational complexity, the main requirement for this prototype algorithm is that the signal quality remains effectively invariant, for a given path loss, and for a wide range of the data rates, payload sizes, lengths of pulse shaping filters (PSFs), and pulse duty cycles, for a relatively large mismatch in the frequency of the local oscillators (LOs) in the transmitter (TX) and the receiver (RX), and for the TX and RX motions at relatively high speeds. Further, this needs to be achieved without any feedback communications between the TX and RX, any hardware or software changes in the TX, and any hardware adjustments in the RX (e.g., in the LO~frequency or sampling time offsets).

Published: September 2023

Graphene antennas operating at mm-wave and THz frequencies enable miniaturization by being smaller than its metallic counterparts, while additionally providing frequency tunability capabilities. These characteristics are interesting for 6G short-range communication applications, where the antenna size is still one of the largest and, consequently, costly components inside a chip. In this work, a tunable planar antenna for operation at terahertz frequencies based on a graphene stack is proposed and analyzed. The proposed antenna consists of a stack of two graphene patches separated by a thin dielectric to provide higher efficiency and gain. This concept can broadly be applied to future THz communication systems because it can directly be integrated into transceiver units by being compatible with CMOS processes and manufacturing techniques. We use a full-wave electromagnetic solver to evaluate and compare the performance of this antenna to a simple graphene patch antenna in the range of 220 - 325 GHz. The results show that an increase in efficiency and gain can be accomplished. We also demonstrate the frequency tuning possibility of the antenna, which can be achieved by the electric field effect in the graphene stack by applying a bias voltage between the two graphene sheets.

Artificial Intelligence has gained widespread adoption across different industrial sectors, serving as a versatile tool to carry out a diverse array of tasks, ranging from image classification and traffic forecasting to natural language processing and speech recognition. In the space domain, however, a special focus must be placed on area overhead, power consumption, and fault-tolerant solutions. In this particular scenario, soft GeneralPurpose Computing on Graphic Processing Units has the potential to revolutionise space-related activities. Indeed, by leveraging both Field Programmable Gate Array technology and Graphic Processing Unit computing, it becomes feasible to achieve highperformance capabilities without compromising neither power consumption nor radiation tolerance features. Moreover, the use of reconfigurable hardware can facilitate the acceleration of a wide range of Machine Learning algorithms, avoiding the drawbacks of excessive specialisation. This paper explores the State-of-the-Art in terms of hardware platforms for on-the-edge acceleration of Artificial Intelligence algorithms and compares it with a possible System-on-Chip implementation based on a softGraphic Processing Unit. Then, the attention is shifted towards the investigation of key aspects for future space missions, such as reliability and Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration. We point out the lack of European technological solutions, emphasising the promising potential offered by NanoXplore devices. We also discuss the importance of fault detection and mitigation techniques in space applications, covering the most commonly employed hardware methods for reliability enhancement and highlighting the lack of work in the field of General-Purpose Computing for Graphic Processing Units, especially in the space sector. Furthermore, we briefly examine the implementation of Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration over a System-on-Chip featuring a softGraphic Processing Unit IP. Finally, in the last section of the paper, we hint at future development of the project and conclude the work.

The increase of IoT devices and the emergence of smart cities have revolutionized urban development, offering numerous benefits while addressing environmental concerns. This has caused an increase in the usage of IoT frameworks, and the need for efficient architecture and standardized ontology is imminent. In this regard, we propose a distributed, multi-layered data platform architecture comprising the Data Monitoring Layer (DML), Data Storage Layer (DSL), Data Enhancement Layer (DEnL), and Data Exchange Layer (DEL). Our architecture achieves interoperability, facilitates data transfer between nodes, enables telemetry data retrieval, and ensures cross-platform and cross-device compatibility. It addresses the challenges of handling increased sensor data and user demands by providing high throughput and scalability support. We investigated Smart City Living Lab at IIIT Hyderabad an existing large-scale system deployed within a 66-acre campus. This system consists of 291 nodes. By studying this deployed system, we were able to gather valuable real-world data, allowing us to analyze the challenges and potential solutions related to data architecture. Our results show improvements of up to 41.23\% in throughput and a decrease in latency by 29.19\% for data insertion from the sensor nodes. The retrieval by the data client gives an increase of over 800\% in both throughput and number of requests through DENL. These metrics are compared to a centralised data platform architecture. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings and suggesting future work.

Published: September 2023

This work develops a novel observer-based finite-time methodology to make disturbed wheeled mobile robots (WMRs)  follow a desired reference signal. With the kinematic and reference models, two decoupled systems are computed. Then, each subsystem’s control signal is split into three terms. The first part estimates the disturbances affecting the system, transforming the closed-loop system into two new second-order systems with uniformly bounded and convergent disturbance terms. Then, based on a new sliding surface and a design function, the second and third controller’s parts are employed to accomplish the trajectory tracking task despite disturbances. The proposed controller is compared against a finite-time and a feedback controller. Then, detailed numerical simulations show the outstanding performance of the novel proposal.
SenseCollect: Sensor Assisted Data Collection in Urban Traffic-Affected IoT-Setup

Published: September 2023

Passage of vehicles across the links between IoT-devices severely hampers low-power communication activities. In an urban area, deployment of an IoT-edge system, hence, gets heavily affected because of the traffic-congested roads. In order to achieve reliable delivery despite the presence of such vehicular obstructions, the IoT-devices need to make multiple repeated transmissions at the link layer or even frequently change the communication path in the network layer. However, such actions significantly drain the energy in the IoT-devices and shorten their life-span. This serious issue, although has been pointed out in several works, has not been yet addressed seriously from the point of view of the mitigation of the problem. In this work we first provide a detailed study of the dynamics of the traffic affected links. Next, we propose a lightweight sensor-assisted data-collection strategy SenseCollect, which first classifies the time periods as bad and good based on the presence and absence, respectively, of the vehicular congestion across the communication links. Furthermore, the strategy takes a delay tolerant approach which exploits the good period, i.e., when the vehicular congestion is comparatively less, for low-power communication more compared to the other (bad) periods. In addition, in order to manage emergency situations we also accommodate scopes for faster and more reliable delivery of the data which are marked as urgent by the corresponding source node. We implement the complete system with the said objectives in the real devices. Evaluation studies depict that SenseCollect achieves data collection with reliability above 99% while saving upto 60% of radio duty-cycle compared to the state-of-the-art strategies when communication links are seriously affected by vehicular traffic.
Black Box-Based Incremental Reduced-Order Modeling Framework of Inverter-Based Power Systems
Authors: Zhou Weihua , Beerten Jef
Published: September 2023

Due to the capability to perform participation factor analysis and oscillation origin location, the state-space model (SSM)-based eigenvalue method has been widely used for stability assessment of inverter-penetrated power systems. However, possible internal confidentiality of inverters impedes the derivation of their SSMs. In addition, conventional derivation procedure of system SSM can be tedious when complicated transmission network topology and various transmission cables are involved, which may result in a high-order system SSM. To this end, this article presents a black box-based incremental reduced-order modeling framework. The reduced-order SSMs of the inverters and transmission cables are extracted from their dq-domain admittance frequency responses and abc-domain impedance frequency responses, respectively, by the matrix fitting algorithm. Then, the SSM operators proposed in this article recursively assemble the fitted components' SSMs in the similar manner as the impedance model operator-based recursive components' impedance aggregation, while preserving the dynamics of individual components. Simulation results show that the presented state-space modeling framework can properly identify the state-space models of black-box devices at component modeling stage, simplify assembling procedure at subsystems/components integration stage, and release computational burden at system participation factor analysis stage.
Pengaruh Model Student Teams Achievement Divisions Terintegrasi Crossword Puzzle terhadap Motivasi dan Hasil Belajar Kognitif Siswa
Authors: Mirawati Mirawati
Published: September 2023

Based on the results of initial observations at SMA Negeri 1 Praya Timur, Central Lombok Regency, it was found that students were still less motivated to be active in the learning process, such as lack of student readiness to start lessons, less attention to the teacher while teaching in class, less enthusiastic in learning, and a lack of curiosity when the teacher explains the subject matter. These things are because not all teachers apply appropriate and varied learning strategies, methods and models in learning activities, especially in biology lessons. Learning that takes place in the classroom is still teacher-centered, resulting in students becoming passive because they only tend to listen, pay attention, and take notes on the explanations given by the teacher. This has an impact on students' cognitive learning outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine "The Effect of the Integrated Crossword Puzzle Student Teams Achievement Divisions Model on Students' Motivation and Cognitive Learning Outcomes" for class XI at SMA Negeri 1 Praya Timur in the 2016/2017 academic year. This type of research is a quasi-experimental research. The population in this study were all students of class XI IPA totaling 91 students. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, in order to obtain research samples, namely class XI IPA 3 as the experimental class, and class XI IPA 2 as the control class. The instruments used in this study were observation sheets of lesson plans implementation, observation sheets of student motivation, and tests of students' cognitive learning outcomes. The data analysis technique used the t-test with the help of SPSS 16 for windows at a significance level of 5%. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, it is stated that: 1) there is an increase in student motivation by applying the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) integrated crossword puzzle model with a percentage of the experimental class of 78% and the control class of 75%; and 2) there is an influence of the integrated crossword puzzle Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) model on students' cognitive learning outcomes with a significance value of 0.02 <0.05. Thus it was concluded that the integrated crossword puzzle Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) model had an effect on students' cognitive learning outcomes.
