Authors: KËPUSKA Arta , TOÇI Arta
Published: December 2024

This study explores the challenges Albanian learners in Kosovo face while acquiring the English tense system, focusing specifically on common difficulties with tense usage. The research gathered data from questionnaires and written texts, revealing a high incidence of errors in tenses such as the Past Simple, Present Simple, Present Perfect, Past Perfect, and Future Simple. Incorrect tense constructions emerged as the most frequent issue, with native language interference and rule overgeneralization contributing to the learners’ difficulties. Mistakes were particularly prominent in the Past and Present Simple tenses, suggesting that these areas require targeted attention in language instruction. The study emphasizes the need for more comprehensive research, especially through longitudinal and spoken data analysis, to improve teaching strategies for Albanian ESL learners in addressing tense-related errors.
THE INFLUENCE OF DEMOGRAHPIC FACTORS AND USAGE CHARACTERISTICS ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOR- IN THE CONTEXT OF FACEBOOK ADVERTISING- KOSOVO
Authors: KRASNIQI Kaltrina
Published: December 2024

The aim of this research is to examine the impact of demographic variables and Facebook usage patterns on consumer behavior in relation to Facebook advertising.
The study’s setting, which included Kosovar citizens, was examined using a variety of statistical techniques, including discriminator validity testing, reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, and the Kruskal-Wallis H Test. In this study, 276 respondents or Kosovar citizens participated. Every Kosovo region has been met by these responders. The questionnaire was employed through the survey as a tool for gathering study data. Three sections comprised the questionnaire: questions on the respondents’ demographics, questions concerning the features of Facebook use, and statements indicating the extent to which Facebook ads influenced consumer purchases.
With the exception of income level, which has a significant correlation with consumer behavior for making purchases through Facebook ads, statistical testing has led us to the conclusion that there is no significant correlation between gender, age, education, residential area, and consumer purchase in terms of purchasing through Facebook ads.
The experiments indicate that the variables pertaining to the features of purchases on Facebook do not significantly influence consumer behavior when it comes to making purchases through Facebook adverts
PROACTIVE APPROACH IN TAX RISK MANAGEMENT: DATA ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES TO IDENTIFY HIGH-RISK TAXPAYERS
Authors: KARAKOYUN Funda
Published: December 2024

There is a transition from labour-intensive traditional methods to the use of technology-intensive systems to identify risky taxpayers in tax audits. With this process, which has been accelerating for decades, statistical models that will reduce tax loss and evasion of states and increase efficiency in collection have been diversified in the field of machine learning. While innovations in software programs with digitalisation transformation reduce the manual workload of the tax administration, machine learning algorithms are used with experts employed in the field in continuously developing risk analysis studies. For tax administrations that fall behind these developments, the identification of high-risk taxpayers, the effectiveness of collection, and tax compliance are becoming more difficult to audit in the context of rapidly increasing global data.
 
The influence of a country's distinctive historical, economic, and sociological characteristics is a significant determinant of taxpayer behaviour. Establishing relationships across taxpayer characteristics and classifying behaviours in the tax risk management process affects the success of tax scenarios. Although, the work of experts in traditional methods and data analysis in auditing is limited, the effectiveness of data mining methods and the combination of the results obtained with tax scenarios approach the desired accuracy rate in risk detection. For this reason, it is observed that different methods are tested in experimental studies since a single technique that audits all business records cannot be sufficient and reliable. This study elucidates the deployment of information technology and digital tools in tax risk management, with consideration of the nuances inherent to the diverse national contexts.

Ahiret İnancı Bağlamında Ölüm Kaygısı ve Yasla Başa Çıkma
Authors: BEDİR Fatma Nur , KANTER Özden
Published: December 2024

Ölüm, her canlının mutlaka yaşayacağı temel ve evrensel bir deneyimdir. Ölüm anında ve ölümden sonra ne olacağı ile ilgili bilinmezlik konunun kaygı verici olmasına sebep olabilmektedir. Ölüm karşısında çaresiz hisseden birey bu stresle başa çıkmak için çeşitli yöntemler kullanmaktadır. Dinî inanç ve ritüeller; özellikle ahiret inancı bu yöntemlerdendir. Ahiret kavramı ölümden sonraki yaşama ve ölen kişinin ruhunun ölümden sonra da varlığını devam ettireceğine dair bir açıklama sağlar. Ancak bu inançların etkisi, bireyin inançlarına, kültürel arka planına ve kişisel deneyimlerine bağlı olarak değişiklik gösterebilir. Bu çalışmanın konusu ahiret inancının ölüm kaygısı ve yasla başa çıkma yöntemleri üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Bu bağlamda, ölüm kaygısının inançlı ve inançsız bireylerde nasıl farklılık gösterdiğinin ve ahiret inancına sahip olmanın ya da olmamanın yas sürecini nasıl etkilediğinin, her iki grup açısından karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nitel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak yarı-yapılandırılmış mülakat tekniği kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar amaçlı örneklem ve kartopu örneklem yöntemleri ile belirlenmiştir. Mülakatlardan elde edilen veriler içerik analizi ve betimsel analiz metotları ile incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre inançsız bireyler, ölümün doğal bir süreç olduğunu kabul ederek daha hedonist bir yaklaşım sergilemektedirler. Ölüm kaygıları daha çok “geride bırakılanlar, sevilenlerin ölümü, yok olma korkusu, acı çekme korkusu ve ölümün zamanı, yeri ve şekli” gibi konularda yoğunlaşmaktadır. İnançlı bireyler de aynı kaygıları taşımanın yanında ek olarak ahirete hazırlık ve kabir azabı gibi dinî temelli korkular yaşamaktadır. İnançsız bireyler “dikkat dağıtarak, kaybedilen kişiyi anarak ve yalnız kalarak” yas süreciyle başa çıkmaya çalışmakta iken inançlı katılımcılar bunların dışında “inkâr etmek, dua etmek ve Kur’an okumak” gibi yöntemlerle yas sürecini yönetmektedir. Literatürün tersine cenaze ve defin ritüelleri inançlı ve inançsız bireylerde yaslı kişinin ihtiyacı olan mahremiyet ve sükuneti ihlal edip dikkat dağıtarak olumsuz duygulara yol açabilmektedir. Bununla birlikte bir yakınını kaybeden kişi, ailedeki rollerin değişmesiyle daha fazla stres ve keder hissedebilmektedir; çünkü sevilen kişinin kaybıyla birlikte çocukluk anıları, yaşam tarzı, kimlik, yakınlık, anlam duygusu ve güvenlik gibi birçok önemli şey de kaybedilmiş olur. Bunun yanı sıra ölümle yüzleşmenin kişisel gelişimi ve dönüşümü destekleyebileceği de ulaşılan sonuçlar arasındadır. Bir yakını kaybetmek her ne kadar acı verici bir deneyim olsa da hissedilen keder ve üzüntü büyümeyi ve gelişmeyi teşvik edebilir. İnançlı ve inançsız bireylerin ölüm ve yas sürecine bakış açıları farklılık gösterse de her iki grup dünyadan kopmama isteği taşımaktadır. Bunun yanında, yas sürecinde duygusal ve sosyal desteğin niteliğinin önemli olduğu vurgulanabilir.

“Thousands of lives and millions of rubles!” The Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 reflected in Czech periodicals
Authors: Kouba Miroslav
Published: December 2024

The years 1876–1878 were a time when the nationalist movement of the southern Slavic nations in the Balkans was culminating, especially among the Bulgarians, who, under the influence of the anti-Turkish rebellion in Herzegovina in 1875, accelerated preparations for similarly organized rebel activities. These events showed the Bulgarian issue being not an internal affair of the Ottoman Empire but rather as being integral to the Great Eastern Crisis, related to differing opinions of European powers, especially Great Britain and Russia, which was also followed closely by the Czech periodical press (e.g., Národní listy, Světozor, Čech, etc.). This study examines the primary spectrum of attitudes taken on these questions of international politics by Czech journalists, especially those working for Národní listy, the leading Czech periodical of that era, who during this era of culminating Czech emancipation, were finally coming of age in the sense of an independent profession. The focus will not be on the ideological parameters of the Russo-Turkish War but rather on the perception of the military conflict and its reflections in a geographically relatively remote environment, which continues to be relevant even now.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) infection remains a significant health challenge in developing countries, including Indonesia, with an incidence of around 28.9%. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been some changes in society’s habits. Therefore, this study aimed to confirm how the pandemic affects the STH infection prevalence in high-risk children.
Methods: This study, designed as a cross-sectional analysis, was conducted across multiple orphanages in Makassar, Indonesia. The sample population was healthy children aged 1–18 years old diagnosed with iron deficiency. Stool samples were collected and analyzed using the Kato-Katz technique to detect STH infection. The data was analysed with SPSS version 26 and presented in diagrams and tabulations.
Results: A total of 545 children 1-18 years old participated in this study, with 144 (26%) suffering from iron deficiency; 89 (61.4%) girls, and 56 boys (38.6%). The soil-transmitted helminth’s prevalence in children with iron deficiency was 6.9%, with A lumbricoides infection at 2.06% (3/144), T. trichiura infection at 2.7% (4/144), and both infections at 2.06% (3/144).
Conclusion: The prevalence of soil-transmitted helminth infections among children in Indonesia significantly decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A Comprehensive Review of HLA-DPB1 *05:01 in Hepatitis B: Cases and Sequencing Methods
Authors: Arjana Adika Zhulhi , Devita Ninda , Nugrahaningsih Dwi Aris Agung
Published: December 2024

Background: The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is critical in mediating immune responses by presenting peptides to T cells. Among the HLA loci, HLA-DPB1 is noteworthy for its role in immune regulation and disease susceptibility. The HLA-DPB1*05:01 allele, in particular has been associated with various immunological outcomes and disease processes, including hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Objective: This review aims to explore the association of HLA-DPB1*05:01 with HBV infection, disease progression, and vaccine response, while also discussing the methodologies employed for sequencing this allele.
Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley, and Google Scholar. Studies included in this review focused on HLA-DPB1*05:01 in the context of HBV, encompassing epidemiological research, clinical outcomes, and sequencing techniques.
Results: The HLA-DPB1*05:01 allele plays a significant role in HBV infection, with its effects varying across different populations. In Caucasians, it is associated with spontaneous clearance of HBV, suggesting a protective role. Conversely, in East Asian and Chinese populations, it is linked to increased susceptibility to chronic HBV infection. This allele also influences disease progression, slowing progression to severe liver diseases in some populations but increasing risk in others. Additionally, HLA-DPB1*05:01 affects antiviral treatment efficacy and is associated with a higher likelihood of non-response to the hepatitis B vaccine.
Conclusion: The HLA-DPB1*05:01 allele significantly impacts HBV infection outcomes, highlighting the complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. While sequencing techniques provide detailed genetic analysis, variability in study methodologies and population-specific effects present challenges. Future research should address these limitations to enhance understanding of HLA-DPB1*05:01 and its role in HBV infection.

In the Islamic viewpoint, freedom of religion encompasses honouring an individual's autonomy to select and observe their faith in alignment with their preferences. The primary catalyst for this lies in the burgeoning comprehension of Muslim youth, as their evolving understanding plays a pivotal role. Cultural influences often restrict the genuine grasp of Islam among many Muslim youth. Thus, this study evaluates the concept of religious freedom according to Islamic perspective, examine the challenges in understanding religious freedom and to propose the resolution in understanding the religious freedom in Malaysia. However, this research aims to analyse the level of understanding of religious freedom according to 4th Year Undergraduate Students of Fiqh and Fatwa in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia. Moreover, a quantitative methodology was employed to analyse the data through deductive and field research. For field research, this study conducted the questionnaire and survey that obtained 131 respondents out of 201 selected among 4th Year Undergraduate Students of Fiqh and Fatwa from Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia. The result indicates from SPSS analysis that respondents have a good understanding of religious freedom which is categorized into three variables: understanding of the concept of religious freedom (96.86%), awareness of law (97.25%) and religious discrimination (91.29%). Besides, this research shows that the comprehension level of religious freedom was elevated at (95.15%), reflecting a favorable perspective on religious freedom. This finding illustrates that religious freedom, when viewed through an Islamic lens, aligns with the foundational principles of justice and societal well-being in Malaysia. Additionally, policy discussions and legal reforms may be explored and be implicated to ensure that existing laws align with the principles of religious freedom within an Islamic context. Thus, this study underscores the significance of striking a balance between religious freedom and the preservation of Islamic values

Detecting young talents is one of the most significant challenges in the sports sciences. Early performance assessment is an essential component of talent discovery programs. This study aimed to establish normative values and verify the reproducibility of the Illinois Agility Test (IAT) while assessing the agility of Brazilian adolescents. A total of 649 school adolescents of both sexes between 14 and 18 years old participated in the study performing the IAT. To assess the psychometric quality regarding reproducibility, part of the sample performed the test in duplicate with a minimum interval of 24 hours and a maximum of 72 hours.  The following percentile values were established for the male IAT: (P5 < 17.76 sec) for “Excellent”; between P40 and P60 (19.37 to 20.24 sec) for “Regular”; P80 > 21.21 sec as “Much below average”. For the female IAT, the following values were established (P5 <20.84 sec) for "Excellent"; between P40 and P60 (22.88 to 23.85 sec) for "Regular"; P80> 25.08 sec “Much below average”. Bland-Altman analysis pointed to an ICC of 0.936. Agility performance curves for adolescents were developed, collaborating to detect talent when the IAT obtained a performance less than or equal to 17.76 sec for males and 20.84 sec for females.

Crushed stone supply challenges for infrastructure development in Hungary
Authors: Ezsias L , Kozma K , Tompa R , Fischer S
Published: December 2024

The rapid expansion of Hungary’s infrastructure projects, especially in railway construction, has significantly increased the demand for crushed stone. Both national and EU-funded initiatives have strained supply chains, resulting in logistical challenges and material shortages. With limited domestic production capacity, efficient resource management is crucial to keeping projects on track. This paper evaluates Hungary’s supply chain for crushed stone, identifying key weaknesses and proposing solutions to enhance sustainability.

Purpose. This study investigates the logistical and supply chain difficulties in delivering crushed stone for Hungary’s railway infrastructure projects. It evaluates current supply limitations, proposes ways to improve domestic resource management, and offers strategies to reduce reliance on imports while emphasizing sustainability.

Methodology. The research applies Geographic Information System (GIS) modeling to analyze transportation routes for crushed stone, suggesting ways to streamline logistics. It examines the production capacities of Hungarian quarries, some producing 15,000–25,000 tons monthly, and assesses the impact of European and Hungarian regulations on material quality and availability. The potential for integrating recycled materials into the supply chain is also explored.

Findings. Hungary’s domestic quarries cannot meet the high demand for railway ballast, estimated at 192,000 tons annually, leading to import reliance. GIS modeling shows optimized transportation routes could cut costs and carbon emissions. Incorporating smaller stone fractions and recycled materials could mitigate shortages, with recycled materials potentially comprising 40 % of railway ballast.

Originality. By integrating geological, logistical, and regulatory insights, this paper provides novel approaches for addressing Hungary’s crushed stone supply chain challenges. The use of GIS modeling and recycled materials offers innovative solutions for reducing environmental impacts.

Practical value. The findings present actionable strategies for improving Hungary’s supply chain efficiency, promoting recycling, and optimizing logistics. These solutions are applicable to Hungary and other regions facing similar infrastructure material supply challenges.

Purpose. To derive mathematical expressions that, using the available information, will allow forecasting the levels of electricity consumption by the city’s outdoor lighting network in the main possible scenarios for several years ahead, as well as when developing an energy-efficient smart control system for the electrotechnical complex of lighting complex.

Methodology. Creating an effective intelligent outdoor lighting control system involves the use of the following methods. First, using the empirical measurement method, information on illumination, electricity consumption, car and pedestrian traffic is obtained. Statistical methods are used to identify patterns and relationships between the measured values, as well as to make subsequent forecasts. For intelligent control of outdoor lighting, a decision-making method based on fuzzy inference is used, which allows one, based on information about the operating conditions of the outdoor lighting network, to determine the recommended value of the current or value of lighting devices and the required power source. This approach will ensure maximum system efficiency.

Findings. The obtained analytical dependencies for forecasting the electricity consumption, which are based on data from different time intervals, have determination coefficients of 66.8 and 88.1 %, respectively. The simulation of the operation of a fuzzy control system for the electricity consumption of outdoor lighting on the example of an operated part of the road operated and illuminated by ten 100 W LED lamps for summer and winter nights with different discrete control steps confirms the possibility of achieving the efficiency of outdoor lighting when using the proposed controllability option. The combined-powered control system is more efficient, reducing electricity consumption in summer and winter by more than 70 % compared to traditional control schemes.

Originality. A fuzzy control system for the electrical complex of outdoor lighting in cities is improved, which takes into account the electricity tariff in addition to the level of illumination and the car or pedestrian traffic when generating the control action for the LED driver and determining the rational power source (grid or grid/battery) for lighting devices.

Practical value. The architecture of the system for controlling electricity consumption by electrical receivers of lighting networks based on the fuzzy inference algorithm is developed, which is recommended for use to ensure an increase in the energy efficiency of this class of municipal consumers.

Purpose. To improve dynamic management of operational efficiency (DMOE) to ensure the sustainable development (SD) of the enterprise in the conditions of challenges. The task of the article is: to investigate external influences on the functioning of mining and metallurgical enterprises (MME); to identify prerequisites for DMOE, directions for improvement of operational efficiency of management tools.

Methodology. The method of content analysis made it possible to determine SD of enterprises in the conditions of dynamic challenges as a balanced quasi-sustainable development. The dialectical method was to establish the fact that risks of war also create windows of opportunity for enterprises. The method of critical analysis established the fact that the significant dynamism of challenges determines the dynamism of adaptive management. The method of analysis and synthesis was to propose a systematic and fragmentary approach to implementing measures to improve operational efficiency. The method of mathematical analysis made it possible to propose a transition from using not factors, but their derivatives, for modeling DMOE.

Findings. The effects of modern challenges on the functioning MME were studied. Prerequisites for the introduction of dynamic adaptive management of operational efficiency were determined. Areas of improvement of DMOE tools were determined. An approach of operational coordination of operational efficiency with dynamic changes in the internal and external environment is proposed. The management of the operational efficiency of one of the mining enterprises was studied.

Originality. The need for DMOE as a tool for sustainable functioning of the enterprise is substantiated. It is proposed to define SD at a significant level and dynamics of changes in external influences as a balanced consistent set of quasi-steady states, which increases the effectiveness of management measures.

Practical value. The proposed approaches increase the relevance of the evaluation of DMOE, which increases the effectiveness of management and the possibility of achieving balanced development of MME.

The study was conducted to observe the physical and chemical properties of the soils of the Payra thermal power plant's surrounding areas. The textural class of 55 collected soil samples was mostly Silt loam, with few Silty clay loam soils. Soil pH ranges from 3.72 to 7.82, with more than 80 % being acidic and only 4% slightly alkaline. The 23 % of samples were highly acidic (pH<4.5). The electrical conductivity ranged from 0.91 to 23.95 dS/m, with 47% of the samples having EC values greater than 8 dS/m; those sample sites were unsuitable for crop cultivation. There was a significant difference between Olsen P and Bray P in soil, having 0.73 to 13.87 and 9.29 to 42.60 ppm, respectively. All the samples had very high sulfur contents (34.3 to 601.4 ppm). Most soil samples (78%) contained very high sodium content.

Salah satu penyakit menular yang bersifat akut infeksius adalah penyakit mulut dan kuku (Foot Mouth Diasease) atau sring disebut dengan PMK. Penyebaran wabah PMK di Indonesia yang di akibatkan oleh adanya salah satunya  lalu lintas ilegal dari negara yang belum terbebas dari PMK. Awal mula outbreak PMK terjadi di Provinsi Jawa Timur, kabupaten Gresik  menjadi kabupaten pertama sebagai awal mula terjadinya outbreak PMK yang kemudian menyebar kebeberapa kabupaten lainnya seperti Mojokerto,  Lamongan dan Sidoarjo. Metode penarikan sampel yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu menggunakan metode purposive sampling dalam menentukan pengambilan sampel. Wilayah sampel penelitian terdiri dari 5 kabupaten yang ada di Provinsi Jawa Timur dengan 31 kecamatan. Kriteria pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini yaitu peternak yang memiliki 1 ekor sapi yang terkena PMK. Berdasarkan kriteria populasi tersebut maka diperoleh sampel sebanyak 549 Peternak. Variabel yang diamati yaitu sapi kembali estrus dan sapi mengalami Kebuntingan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan persentase sampel sapi yang terkena PMK yang dihasilkan pada kuisoner paling tinggi berada di Kabupaten Situbondo 33%, Jember 32%, Lamongan 15%,  Kediri dan Tulungagung 10%. Sapi estrus setelah PMK 1-3  bulan sebanyak 40% , 4-6 bulan sebanyak 44% dan diatas 6 bulan yang lalu sebanyak 16%. Sapi mengalami kebuntingan setelah PMK memiliki persentase yang rendah yaitu hanya 30% sedangkan sapi potong yang belum mengalami kebuntingan sebanyak 70%. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini penampilan reproduksi sapi potong pasca PMK di Provinsi Jawa Timur mengalami perlambatan kinerja reproduksi dengan panjangnya siklus estrus yang diakibatkan oleh lama sembuh ternak dari PMK, selain itu rendahnya keberhasilan kebuntingan yang diakibatkan asupan pakan yang menurun selama ternak teinfeksi akan menurunkan BCS, sehingga adanya penyimpangan kinerja hormon-hormon reproduksi.
