SELF-EFFICACY ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS' MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM-SOLVING ABILITY IN ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS MATERIALS
Authors: Handayani Fitria , Harisman Yulyanti , Armiati Armiati
Published: April 2023

Participants can profit from the ability to solve issues by first understanding them, then choosing the best technique, and then applying it to problems in both mathematical and non-mathematical situations. Many variables contribute to students' inability to answer mathematical questions, one of which is a lack of confidence in their abilities. The purpose of this study is to describe how well-equipped pupils are to deal with arithmetic challenges associated with absolute value equations. Study participants were selected from each level after each level's self-efficacy was assessed using questionnaires. The tools used in data collection procedures, which are training tactics, include short interviews, self-efficacy questionnaires, and assessments of one's ability for solving mathematical problems. The data processing and analysis process have three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion-making. The research subjects were three students from each of the three self-efficacy levels—very high, high, and medium—and their propensities for resolving mathematical puzzles were then evaluated. Students with a very high level of self-efficacy perform mathematical problem-solving tasks more effectively than students with high and medium levels of self-efficacy.
The Multiculturalism of a Traditional Economic Region – the Example of the Katowice Conurbation (Poland)
Authors: Runge Jerzy , Runge Anna
Published: April 2023

The Katowice conurbation took shape from the end of the 18th century in the borderlands of two states, Poland and Germany. In this sense, it was an area on both their peripheries. Permanent and dynamic interactions between different national-ethnic groups resulted in cultural intermingling. From the middle of the twentieth century, this complex settlement system was already at the centre of socio-economic development on a supra-regional scale. As a result of multidirectional migration, influenced by intensive industrialisation, social relations evolved between the migrants and the local (indigenous) population, as well as between the migrants themselves. The aim of this paper is to analyse the early multicultural nature of selected cities in the Katowice conurbation against a methodological and terminological background and to indicate the extent to which this feature might be an asset in present day socio-economic transformations in this area. The temporal and spatial overlapping of various origins of socio-cultural links and relations leads the authors to formulate the concepts of cultural genotype and primary and secondary cultural genotype, and to exemplify the formation of cultural genotypes in the Katowice conurbation.
Meeting Together in a Good Way: A Discussion on the Educational Mapping Activity of Indigenous Content in a Nurse Practitioner Program
Authors: Smith Mary , Pilon Roger , Spadoni Michelle , Bluteau Jenna
Published: April 2023

A Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner program carried out a unique curriculum mapping activity related to Indigenous content which resulted in the creation of a report entitled Maawanji'idiwag: Meeting Together in a Good Way. The activity was carried out by a working group which consisted of Indigenous knowledge keepers, Elders, faculty, and a student. The curriculum mapping activity prioritized the health-related Calls to Action from the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation of Canada (TRC), the Calls to Justice from Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and the articles from the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as ‘Action Calls’ within a Nurse Practitioner Program. The mapping process was also guided by Bartlett’s decolonizing research framework    The associated literature with the intersecting concepts of decolonization, Indigenization, reconciliation, cultural safety, and humility were linked to these national reports and the curriculum mapping activity and subsequent report. The goal of this paper is to share the many insights and learning from the curriculum mapping report to promote further deep dialogues, involvement and meaningful change within nursing education and health care.

Authors:   Moscow State Pedagogical University, Katagoshchina Mariya V.
Published: April 2023

The paper discusses the role of private collecting phenomenon in the formation of cultural ties between Russia and Armenia in the 20th – early 21st centuries. Private collecting and patronage are deeply rooted in the intellectual tradition of Armenia, including in the Armenian diaspora in Russia, France, the United States and other regions of the world. This circumstance led to the participation of a number of prominent representatives of the Russian-Armenian collection community in many state and public projects, including those related to the development of cultural cooperation between Russia and Armenia in the post-Soviet period. The subject of the study is the collecting and educational activities of the leading collectors of the Soviet period and the present (A.Ya. Abrahamyan, V.A. Dudakova, A.I. Shadrin), which influenced the formation of the Russian-Armenian cultural dialogue. The author also focuses on the implementation of exhibition projects of the Museum of Russian Art in Yerevan, the Armenian Cultural Center in Moscow and a number of other cultural institutions, the history and modern development of which are connected with the world of private collecting. The article focuses on the cultural interaction between Russia and Armenia in the activities of the structures of the international antiques and art market. The author sets himself the task, using the example of Russia and Armenia, to show the integration of the modern world of private collecting into the sphere of public diplomacy and international cultural exchange in the post-Soviet space.

A evolução da macroeconomia à luz do conflito distributivo: uma análise a partir do conceito de duplo movimento de Karl Polanyi
Authors: Barros Luciano
Published: April 2023

O presente artigo se propõe a analisar a “evolução” da macroeconomia, tanto em termos de teoria quanto de práticas econômicas, a partir da dinâmica do conflito distributivo. Neste sentido, argumenta-se que as grandes inflexões da macroeconomia (do liberalismo do século XIX para o keynesianismo do pós-guerra, e deste para o neoliberalismo a partir dos anos 1970) se deram em contextos de desbalanceamento distributivo em favor de uma ou outra classe social. Por fim o artigo faz algumas conjecturas acerca do futuro da macroeconomia no contexto da atual pandemia global.
U.S.-China-Russia Tripolarity and Energy Security in the Indo-Pacific: Focusing on Natural Gas and Nuclear Power
Authors:   Institute of East and West Studies Yonsei University, Lim Eunjung
Published: April 2023

This study comparatively analyzes the capabilities and national interests of the US, China, and Russia in the field of natural gas and nuclear power using Randall Schweller’s tripolarity as the analytical framework. Through this comparative analysis, this study aims to infer how the structure of the US-China-Russia tripolarity will affect energy security in the Indo-Pacific region. Based on the results of a comparative analysis of the capabilities and national interests of the three superpowers in the natural gas and nuclear power fields, this paper argues that the structure of the US-China-Russia tripolarity can further accelerate power restructuring in the Indo-Pacific region through energy. It is predicted that in both the natural gas and nuclear power fields, where none of the three superpowers has an overwhelming advantage, there is room for energy security issues to be used as a means to accelerate power restructuring, as the wills to revise the status quo are colliding. This is also a warning that the energy issues may eventually escalate into a factor that could shake peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

Coronary artery anomalies, myocardial bridging associated with fistula to pulmonary artery trunk. Case reports
Authors: Marian Gaspar
Published: April 2023

Between coronary artery anomalies, myocardial bridging means an epicardial coronary artery, mostly left anterior descending artery (LAD), running through an intramyocardial “tunnel” (usually in the middle segment), leading during systolic contraction, flow reduction, through the vessel. When this anomaly is associated with a coronary fistula, which “steals” more from the bloodstream, the symptoms are more pronounced, and the management complex is surgical in particular. Despite the presence from birth remains asymptomatic and it becomes clinically manifest later in the third to fourth decade of life, with a diverse palette of symptoms; angina, arrhythmias, and acute myocardial infarction up to sudden death. Diagnosis and particular management, medical, interventional, and surgical should avoid major cardiac complications and sudden death. We present two adult patients, with coronary artery bridging, one case associated with coronary artery fistula, LAD to pulmonary artery trunk, very symptomatic with surgical management, and the second only myocardial bridging controlled with medication and supervision.

Kallmann's syndrome (KS) is a form of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism associated with a defect in the sense of smell, due to abnormal migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone-producing neurons. We report the case of a patient aged 16 years and 6 months who presented a micropenis with poor development of secondary sexual characteristics and anosmia. Plasma levels of luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and testosterone were very low, while chromosomal analysis showed a 46XY karyotype. Hypothalamic-pituitary MRI showed bilateral agenesis of the olfactory bulbs associated with a 4 mm pituitary microadenoma. The patient was put on hormone replacement therapy with a good response.
Fair Use Under Korean Copyright Law: An Analysis of Case Law
Authors:   Korea Copyright Commission, Lee Il-Ho
Published: April 2023

In 2011, the fair use provision was introduced in Korean copyright law. While it has been reformed once to make it more effective, and efforts have been made to establish so-called fair use guidelines to increse its predictability, doubts are raised as to whether fair use functions as a practical standard in actual copyright cases. It is time to point out its status quo and to observe how fair use has been operated by the Korean judiciary; this new legal instrument is intended to actively pursue a balance between the interests of creators and users/the public. Moreover, fair use may be understood as the legislator's delegation to the judiciary for exercising the quasi-legislative authority to create new and necessary copyright limitations/exceptions on a case-by-case basis. For an overview, it is indispensable to analyze the relevant precedents produced by various courts in Korea in the past 11 years. Unfortunately, there have been no cases in which the Supreme Court of Korea actively reviewed fair use. Nevertheless, district and high courts produced several decisions and judgments dealing with fair use (some of them gave considerable detail to insightful investigations in fair use). By finding commonalities and trends in these limited precedents and examining their problems, it is possible to determine and suggest what improvements fair use needs and how this relatively new and unfamiliar provision can be developed in the context of Korean copyright law. With this goal in mind, this paper analyzes the fair use-related precedents over the past 11 years in which fair use is reviewed or -at least- mentioned (see the collected cases in Appendix). Above all, it closely examines the attitude (modes of interpretation/ application) taken by the Korean courts on fair use and evaluates whether and to what extent fair use has been actively applied by the courts. Based on this analysis and evaluation, the problems of the current Korean fair use face are pointed out from various aspects. Finally, this paper proposes some ways for a sustainable fair use in our copyright environment, and suggests cooperation and respect between the judiciary and academia.
Machine-Learning-Based Convolution Method for Fast Forward Modeling of Induction Log
Authors:   Terry R&D, Hagiwara Teruhiko
Published: April 2023

We built a convolution model using machine learning (ML) to calculate induction log responses for one-dimensional (1D) earth models. Compared to analytical forward modeling, the convolution model is extremely fast. ML-based convolution finds accurate induction tool responses from an earth model with layer resistivity and layer boundaries. For a unit induction tool 2C40, the 101-point, 50-ft window convolution model works satisfactorily for a well deviation angle of 60.
Spatial Data Analytics-Assisted Subsurface Modeling: A Duvernay Case Study

Data analytics facilitate the examination of spatial data sets by using multiple techniques to find and understand patterns to guide decision making. However, standard data analysis tools assume that the data are independent and identically distributed, an assumption that spatial data sets usually do not fulfill. Furthermore, the usual methods neglect spatial continuity and the inherent data paucity that should be considered in the data analytics workflow. We present a new approach that combines data analytics, geostatistics, and optimization techniques to provide an end-to-end workflow to analyze two-dimensional (2D) data sets. The proposed workflow identifies outliers based on their spatial location or distribution, models geological trends using a Gaussian kernel, models the semivariogram, and performs sequential Gaussian simulation applying kriging or cokriging for cosimulation. Moreover, it provides metrics and diagnostic plots to evaluate the goodness of the results at each step. It is also semiautomatic because it leverages the user’s judgment for subsequent operations. For optimization, the workflow uses Bayesian optimization and evolutionary algorithms. We demonstrate the use of the workflow by analyzing 1,152 wells over the Duvernay Formation in Canada. The examples include the simulation of density-porosity as the secondary feature and the cosimulation of total organic content constrained by the former. The proposed workflow helps focus more on interpreting the results than the modeling parameters, reducing workforce time and subjective errors. Moreover, the spatial simulation includes multiple realizations to assess uncertainty and support decision making in data paucity scenarios. Overall, the proposed workflow is a valuable and complementary tool for evaluating uncertainty in mature geospatial data.

Published: April 2023

Rail transport has a very significant impact on development of the economy and society. The objective of the study described in the article is to identify, using the methods of historical and statistical analysis, the relationship between development of the Russian railway network and the «big economic breakthrough» that took place from 1885 to 1914 and brought the country to a fundamentally higher level of development.The analysis begins with a review of the previous period of 1861–1884, during which cardinal institutional changes were carried out and a large-scale railway network was created that connected all the main economic regions of the European part of Russia. Due to this, even then high rates of industrial growth were ensured, but the growth was very volatile.It has been revealed that during the period of the «big economic breakthrough» it was possible not only to accelerate, but also to increase sustainability of economic development. These results were based on a significant level of availability of railway infrastructure for population already reached by the beginning of the «big economic breakthrough», allowing continuing dynamic development of railway transport and achieving growing intensity of employment of the railway network. The synergy of institutional and transport infrastructure development was of great importance. Due to this, the Russian economy during the period of the «big economic breakthrough» became the world record holder in terms of growth in industrial production and labour productivity, while a significant increase in the human development index was also achieved.Thus, the study of the relationship between development of the railway network and the «big economic breakthrough» in Russia at the end of 19th – the beginning of 20th century has shown the importance of the synergy of institutional and infrastructural and transport development for successful economic and social modernisation and demonstrated the key role that railway transport in this process.

The pricing policy of airlines is developed based on a retrospective analysis of the price dynamics of air transportation and forecasting the market situation of supply and demand. The price dynamics of passenger air transportation has a certain structure and patterns, the identification of which helps to develop a competitive price offer for consumers.The objective of the work is to determine the structure of price dynamics and identify patterns of price fluctuations in passenger air transportation from 2008 to 2022, which is important to consider when developing the pricing policy of airlines and the range of tariffs. Studies of the price dynamics of airline tickets by econometric methods allowed to identify the structure of the time series of prices and develop several models.The study of the price dynamics structure, first, identified and analysed the seasonal component of the dynamics of airline ticket prices. Its calculation was carried out using additive and multiplicative models. The range of seasonal changes was -8,5% to +12,5%. The autocorrelation function of the dynamics of average monthly prices showed that the time series of airline ticket prices contained a trend. In addition to trend and seasonal components, cyclical fluctuations were identified in the price dynamics, the modelling of which was carried out based on regression analysis. Cyclical changes in the dynamics of air ticket prices, identified from 2008 to the present, are not sustainable.Analysed dynamics revealed several medium-term cycles with a duration of 4–6 years. The cyclical dynamics of air transportation prices largely coincides with the general economic medium-term cycles, but there are time lags or lagging growth and decline rates.Thus, the change in prices for civil air transportation has a natural trend-cyclical character shaped under the influence of fundamental macroeconomic factors and new determinants, the effect of which may result in a stronger change but with shorter impact or lag effect. Additive and multiplicative models will help predict average annual prices.

The article deals with the issue of road safety in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.The analysis of road traffic accidents over the past 10 years that occurred in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was carried out for the first time ever. The study refers to the total number of road traffic accidents, accidents due to the fault of pedestrians, accidents due to the unsatisfied condition of streets and roads, accidents involving children under 16 years of age, accidents involving drivers with signs of alcohol intoxication and accidents committed by drivers without the right to drive vehicles. Based on the data obtained, a coefficient K was proposed that characterises the state of road safety in the Arctic regions in comparison with traffic safety in general in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).The analysis of road traffic accident statistics has shown that many accidents are the fault of drivers without a driver’s license and revealed the districts with respectively the highest and lowest number of accidents as per their types listed above.Despite the huge territory and the small number of inhabitants, and consequently the low population density, the number of accidents in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) has been increasing every year necessitating efforts to improve road safety.

The article deals with some problematic issues of using hospital ships for transporting the wounded, sick and shipwrecked under the conditions of an armed conflict at sea.A retrospective analysis refers to emergence and development of legal norms governing the use of hospital ships during armed conflicts. Particular attention is paid to regulation by the standards of international humanitarian law of the issues of protection of hospital vessels from attacks and capture, transport of certain categories of persons and cargo followed by a review of the relevant international legal norms and of the practices of individual states in matters of transporting the wounded and sick, as well as of providing them with medical care at sea. A particular task was to get Journal’s audience acquainted with the review of the selected legal commentaries of ICRS on the Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of Wounded, Sick and Shipwrecked Members of Armed Forces at Sea of August 12, 1949 (GC II) and some other provisions of the relevant international humanitarian treaties in the field of hospital ships. The commentaries first ever published in Russian were selected, structured, and additionally elaborated by the author according to the concept of the article, as well as supplemented by the references to the results of modern research.Based on a study of modern realities, the conclusion is substantiated about the sufficiency of the existing norms of international humanitarian law and the obvious need for adequate use of their potential in relation to the conditions of our times.
Correction Factor for Methods of Installation of Piles Group in Sandy Iraqi	Soils

Published: April 2023

Many problems are facing the installation of piles group in laboratory testing and the errors in results of load and settlement are measured experimentally may be happened due to select inadequate method of installation of piles group. There are three main methods of installation in-flight, pre-jacking and hammering methods. In order to find the correction factor between these methods the laboratory model tests were conducted on small-scale models. The parameters studied were the methods of installation (in-flight, pre-jacking and hammering method), the number of piles and in sandy soil in loose state. The results of experimental work show that the increase in the number of piles value led to increase in load carrying capacity of piled raft and decrease in settlement value for three methods of installation. The response of increases load capacity  for hammering method is the same value of pre-jacking method at the number of piles less than (N=2), while when the number of piles are beyond (N=3 to 9). The load capacity of hammering method is more than pre-jacking method and the correction factor of method of installation depend on the type of method of installation and the piles number. The increase in carrying capacity by hammering method is due to mobilize the dynamic soil structure interaction (soil-pile and pile-pile interaction) and the change in properties for surrounding soil for loose state of sand is more effective than static soil structure interaction mobilize by pre-jacking method. The correction factor of increase in load capacity and the correction factor of the percentage of settlement reduction for pre-jacking and hammering methods are compared with in-flight method of installation  are changed with the number of piles and these values are increased with increasing the number of piles.
Intelligence in Construction between Contemporary and Traditional Architecture

The authentic traditional architecture proved that it is very convenient to the environmental and social regulations where it appeared and lasted for hundred of years.

This traditional architecture got the intelligence in providing thermal comfort for their occupants by the intelligent usage of the building materials and the intelligent planning and designs which took in consideration the climatic condition and the aerodynamics of the whole city as one ecological system starting from the cold breeze passing through its narrow streets till it enters the dwelling units and glides out through the wind catchers.

This architecture had been neglected and replaced by modern imported architecture which had collapsed within few decades not in our region only but all over the world. Now a days the increasing awareness of the global environmental crisis the green or sustainable architecture appeared as a new type of architecture by the eighties of the last century.

Today these types of buildings began to enter Arab countries in general and Arabian Gulf countries especially like Masdar city, where smart building can be seen with inelegant treatments which will replace the modern high rise towers with its glass facades.

This will lead to the general research problem which concerns the shortage of knowledge about the inelegance in design and planning used in the traditional architecture, and the special research problem concerning the shortage of knowledge concerning the ability to use the inelegant traditional architectural and planning concepts as a base for the future sustainable modern buildings and cites as the aim of this research.
The Application of Biomimicry in Kinetic Facades

Published: April 2023

Biomimicry, as a way of thinking to go back to nature for inspiration, has its impact on many contemporary technological achievements. Some of them are used to design and construct kinetic facades in architecture, because of the importance role of facades in reducing sun radiation, that enter the building through using shading  systems and components. In light of this, research problem is determined: "Do technologies which are inspired by biomimicry effect shading in kinetic facades through its characteristics in materials and the mechanics. So the research identifies its goal as: "To identify the types of kinetic facades in buildings and their characteristics as materials and shading mechanism associated with the biomimicry. The research explains the basic types of kinetic facades depending on the technology and materials used to provide the possibility of reducing solar radiation that enters the building. It also compares the case studies which have been chosen in their inspiration concept from biological world, which reflect on the system used of protecting against sun and reducing energy consumption as the designer teams suggest. The research concluded that kinetic façade which is depending on smart materials is self-responding and don't need energy to operate, so it is better in reducing consumption of energy.
