Published: January 2025

By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Turkic-Muslim peoples as a whole were in the early stages of transition from a traditional, agrarian society to a civil, industrial one. The social structure of the Turkic-Muslim population of Russia testified to the slow dynamics of modernization processes in its environment. In addition, traditionalism among the Turkic Muslims was based on a strong religious consciousness, the collectivist psychology of the Muslim Ummah. Simultaneously with the Islamic reformation, the secular trends of philosophical thought-enlightenment, focused on the values of the European Enlightenment, were growing stronger in the Turkic – Muslim society. The synthesis of the basic ideas of Muslim reformism and enlightenment has become the conceptual basis of a special form of national religious, cultural and socio-political movement among Russian Turkic Muslims-Turkism. Turkism as a movement was aimed at creating a national secular school , reforming confessional education and the entire lifestyle of the Turkic-Muslim peoples in a European way.

The need to achieve this goal required them to participate in the all-Russian political struggle and create their own political elite. It was formed, as a rule, from representatives of the educated "upper classes"- the elite strata of the population (the nobility, the clergy, the intelligentsia). Among the ideological and political views of the Turkic-Muslim political elite, moderately oppositional views dominated, due to both the social well-being of their bearers and the ethno-religious mental traditions of the peoples on whose behalf they spoke. The socio-political movement of Turkic Muslims, led by the national elite, was in opposition to the Russian government. This opposition was provoked by the religious and national policy of the Orthodox state.

This article analyzes information from written sources, legends, legends and materials of archaeological research on places associated with the activities of the Turkestan saint – Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. Written sources of local origin – "Nasabnama" have preserved data on the life and work of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. They contain information about places associated with Sufi rituals: Hilvet, Humiishka (Kumchik-ata) and other objects associated with Sufism. The historical memory of local residents about the house of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi was recorded by Russian researchers: N.I. Veselovsky, A.I. Dobrosyslov, M.E. Masson, V.A. Gordlevsky, Kazakh authors J.Aimautov, O.Dastanov. The materials obtained by archaeologists T.N. Senigova, E.Smagulov, M.Tuyakbaev allow us to date buildings associated with Sufi rituals. The article contains materials about other monuments, which folk legends associate with Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. Archaeological studies conducted in a number of monuments using traditional dating techniques have provided materials that do not contradict the data on the chronology of the life of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in the XII century. An integrated approach to legends allows us to identify real facts related to the activities of the founder of Turkic Sufism, who played an outstanding role in the history of not only Turkestan, but also the entire Central Asian region. The article publishes rare photos from the personal archive of archaeologist N.Aldabergenov.

In the history of philosophy, the concept of death, the meanings and definitions that pursued philosophers and theologians at every stage of development and which were imposed in connection with this, were reflected differently in each period. The search for death was not only limited to philosophy, but also to other fields of science such as religion, sociology, psychology, literature, numerous studies have been conducted, and these studies will continue in the future. This is because death as an existential phenomenon is one of the most important concepts inseparable from the human mind. In this study, we will look at how possible it is to analyze the concept of death underlying the topic based on a hermeneutical approach and what results can be achieved as a result of this approach. The research work is conducted according to the views of Martin Heidegger, who was a prominent representative of existential philosophy. Heidegger considers death as a phenomenon that defines the existence of Dasein (being) and gives meaning to life. Heidegger strives for openness, linking the phenomenon of death with the category of "time", which ensures the integrity and meaning of life. From this point of view, the category of "time" is of great importance in revealing the existence of Dasein and in understanding his attitude to death. Also in our research work, we turned to hermeneutical and phenomenological methods in the course of analyzing, discussing, understanding and interpreting Dasein's analysis and Heidegger's death.
Changes and Background in the long spear of the Early Iron Age~Three Kingdoms Period
Authors:   The Pusan Archaeological Society, Kim Doyoung
Published: January 2025

In the ancient East Asian War, long spear were frequently used. In this study, long spear excavated from the Korean Peninsula from the early Iron Age to the Three Kingdoms period were analyzed and their transformation was examined.
Long spear appear for the first time on the Korean Peninsula during the early Iron Age. Long spear equipped with copper weapons combined with wooden rods may have first appeared on the Korean Peninsula in the 5th and 4th centuries BC during the spread of Chinese bronze weapon culture. In the Proto-Three Kingdoms Period, the material of Long spear turns into iron, and iron ferrule appears. As a background, it is desirable to consider the spread of Han(漢) culture through Nakrang.
In the Three Kingdoms Period, the types of Long spear become diverse. Long spear related to Ancient Japan(倭) appear mainly in Gim-hae and Bu-san, and long spear ranging from 400 to 500 centimeters also appear in the 5th century. In addition, decorative Long spear that are not aimed at killing are also produced, and new combinations such as iron barbed implement(有刺利器)-iron ferrule are also confirmed.
Since the 6th century, the number of Long spear whose length can be known has dropped sharply, which is related to changes in burial customs such as burial and cremation. However, considering war-related articles, including excavations from the Unified Silla Dynasty, it can be seen that Long spear were continuously used in the Korean Peninsula war even after the 6th century.

Published: January 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly exacerbated stress levels, particularly among working women in Malaysia, who faced increased domestic and professional responsibilities during the crisis. This study explores the effectiveness of Expressive Art Therapy in managing pandemic-induced stress among this demographic. Through qualitative research involving in-depth interviews with 30 participants, the study investigates how Expressive Art Therapy has been utilized to alleviate emotional and psychological strain. The findings reveal that engaging in activities such as painting, drawing, and dance allows these women to articulate emotions nonverbally, fostering a therapeutic release and promoting mental health resilience. This therapeutic approach has proven beneficial in enhancing emotional well-being, offering an innovative outlet for stress management, and improving overall life satisfaction among participants. The research underscores the potential of Expressive Art Therapy to serve as a valuable tool in occupational stress management strategies, particularly in times of crisis. However, the study acknowledges limitations, including the sample size and the specific focus on women who have opted for this therapy, potentially skewing broader applicability. Future research is recommended to explore Expressive Art Therapy’s efficacy in broader demographic settings and to examine its long-term psychological benefits. This study highlights the need for policy enhancements to integrate creative therapies into workplace mental health programs, thus supporting gender-specific mental health needs during unprecedented times.

Authors: Rusli Rose Dahlina , Vermol Verly Veto , Jamil Norshirene Mohamad
Published: January 2025

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasitic microorganisms lose their capacity to respond to antibiotics, making infections more difficult to treat. As a result, disease transmission, severe sickness, and death will increase. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health and development threat, and urgent multi-sectoral action is required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The World Health Organization has named AMR one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity. Antimicrobial misuse and abuse are the leading causes of drug-resistant infections. Science is increasingly being communicated to the general public through the arts. Tracking new methodologies, such as community-engaged learning and challenges and goals, can help build metrics for attaining more meaningful outcomes and measuring the success of arts-based scientific communication in raising awareness and influencing public policy. This project aims to create a medium – ‘Designed Soft -toys Character’ with the elements of ‘cuteness’ that conveys critical information, tells complicated stories about the interaction between bacteria and antibiotics and raises awareness about the rapid spread of antibiotic-resistant diseases through QR code information. By investigating avenues that connect science and society, we are confident that this project will surely assist in breaking down communication barriers between research scientists and the general public of all ages.

Parametric study of coaxial deep borehole heat exchangers to determine optimal flow rate of several well profiles
Authors: Pap József , Baracza Mátyás Krisztián
Published: January 2025

Heat production from abandoned oilfield wells retrofitted into coaxial deep borehole heat exchangers (DBHEs) have become a hot topic in the past decade, since the utilization of geothermal energy drew increased attention due to the volatility of the energy prices. Numerous studies investigate performance enhancement possibilities of such systems, all agreeing that the circulation rate is one of the strongest driving factors which influences total thermal output and sustainability. While these wells have several stages of cemented casings in the wellbore, each having size limitations on the production string, the annular and string crosssectional flow areas, thus velocities of the countercurrent fluid streams could greatly influence the total heat output of the selected arrangement. Moreover, with each setup, heat contact surface between the formation and the parallel fluid columns changes, furtherly influencing the performance. This paper introduces a numerical model, where the authors have investigated several well structures under various circulation rates to determine optimal flow rate under continuous operation.

Authors: Biazus Jaqueline , Eckert Kleber
Published: January 2025

Conhecer e entender as motivações da escolha de certas denominações para nomear determinado lugar é uma maneira de estudar os fatores sociais, culturais e históricos que dele fazem parte e, portanto, de preservar memórias significativas e particulares do povo que nele habita. Sendo assim, o principal objetivo deste artigo é analisar, sob a perspectiva histórica, linguística e sociocultural, os nomes dados às ruas, avenidas e travessas do município de Farroupilha, localizado no Rio Grande do Sul. Para isso, é realizado um estudo documental dos aspectos históricos e socioculturais, com ênfase nos processos migratórios, bem como nas características atuais do município de Farroupilha, ou seja, o processo de ocupação do território por imigrantes italianos no século XIX até o desenvolvimento da cidade na contemporaneidade; uma análise bibliográfica da área da toponímia a partir de autores como Dauzat (1947), Seabra (2006), Marcato (2009), Frosi (2009), Zamariano (2012) e Isquerdo (2019), principalmente; a classificação dos hodônimos conforme taxionomias previamente definidas, com base em Dick (1990), e uma análise da motivação decorrente da denominação de cada logradouro. Após a realização de cada etapa citada anteriormente, chegou-se a algumas conclusões: a administração pública valoriza quase com exclusividade as pessoas locais no ato de nomear, ou seja, as pessoas que contribuíram para a construção e o desenvolvimento do município; e, também, estampa a história e a cultura, especialmente a dos imigrantes italianos, nos nomes dados aos logradouros. Por fim, este estudo contribui para a construção de conhecimento sobre a microtoponímia urbana na Região de Colonização Italiana do Rio Grande do Sul e apresenta uma interpretação dos nomes dos logradouros para a comunidade pesquisada.
Fisiones y fusiones de imagen y texto en el Ledger Art del siglo XIX. El arte en libros de cuentas, entre la tradición de las Grandes Llanuras de Norteamérica y la tradición europea
Authors: Escalante Rodríguez Delonis
Published: January 2025

El ledger art o arte en libros de cuentas es un tipo de arte mixto que surgió en el siglo XIX, a partir del contacto entre la antigua tradición pictográfica de las Grandes Llanuras de Norteamérica y la cultura europea. Se originó cuando artistas nativos de las Llanuras comenzaron a realizar dibujos y pinturas sobre papel, un material nuevo para ellos. Esa práctica se fue extendiendo conforme llegaron a manos de los nativos tanto hojas sueltas como cuadernos o libros que circulaban entre los militares euroamericanos. El ledger art se inscribe en la tradición antes mencionada y conservó los códigos de ésta, pero a la vez se fue transformando conforme los euroamericanos avanzaban hacia el Oeste y alteraban la vida de sus pobladores aborígenes. El presente artículo analiza la relación entre texto e imagen, con momentos de separación y otros de reencuentro, que se forja en el ledger art durante esa centuria. Con ejemplos de este género artístico, se describe el modo en que los artistas nativos incorporaron formas de representación del arte visual europeo, mostrando una apertura cultural y una voluntad de experimentar.

Authors: Aquil Shah  , Ashwith R  , Derick Robinson  , Gagan Raj  , Dr. Roshan Shetty
Published: January 2025

This research focuses on the design and implementation of an intelligent lighting system that automatically adjusts the intensity of a bulb based on the surrounding ambient light using an Arduino microcontroller and a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR). The proposed system aims to optimize energy consumption, enhance user comfort, and contribute to sustainable energy usage. The LDR serves as a sensor to measure the intensity of ambient light, producing a voltage signal proportional to the surrounding illumination. This signal is processed by the Arduino, which controls the bulb's brightness using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) via a driver circuit. The system ensures that the bulb emits minimal light in bright environments and increases brightness in darker conditions, thus maintaining a consistent level of illumination. Experimental results demonstrate the system's responsiveness, accuracy, and ability to significantly reduce unnecessary energy consumption. The paper concludes with an analysis of potential applications, such as smart homes, offices, and streetlights, and suggests future enhancements, including integration with IoT platforms for remote monitoring and control.

La diabetes mellitus es un grupo de trastornos metabólicos comunes que comparten el fenotipo de hiperglucemia. El polimorfismo Pro12Ala en el exón B del gen que codifica para PPARg2 ha sido asociado en algunas poblaciones con diabetes tipo 2. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar si existe asociación del polimorfismo Pro12Ala de PPARg2 y la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en una muestra de la población panameña. Se evaluó la posible asociación del polimorfismo Pro12Ala en una muestra de 195 individuos (99 controles y 96 experimentales) de la población panameña. El polimorfismo Pro12Ala se detectó mediante análisis de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa y polimorfismo de longitud de fragmentos de restricción (PCR-RFLP). Se observó una mayor frecuencia del genotipo Pro12Ala en el grupo experimental (DM2) con respecto al grupo control (0.114 vs 0.010). La frecuencia del alelo Ala12 (alelo de menor frecuencia) en nuestro estudio fue de 2.8%. Este trabajo representa el primer estudio sobre asociación entre diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y el polimorfismo Pro12Ala (rs18012829) en una muestra de casos y controles. La razón de momios (OR) evidenció asociación con un riesgo relativo de 1.9735 en aquellos con genotipo Pro12Ala. La frecuencia del genotipo Pro12Ala fue mayor en mujeres lo cual sugiere que éstas pueden estar más predispuestas a desarrollar esta condición.

This research is an assessment that occurs in class. Writing skills are still lacking due to the difficulty of putting together sentences that are appropriate to this learning method. The aim of this research is to evaluate students' abilities during learning, so that educators can know more. This study uses qualitative research, namely data collection by face-to-face and interacting with people at the research site. While the type of research used is descriptive qualitative field research. the subjects in this research are 7th grade students of Mathooli'ul Anwar Islamic Middle School with a total of 3 students and 8 female students for the 2023/2024 academic year. This research data was obtained from observation, interviews and tests. Data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that using this discussion and practice method can improve students' sentence writing abilities. The students also responded positively to the use of discussion and practice methods. Teachers can apply discussion and practice methods as an alternative to improve the ability to write sentences and for educational institutions to better prepare facilities and infrastructure for learning so that it can run optimally. Future researchers can use the same method with different goals of improving Arabic language skills.

Authors: Lanyasunya Ropilo
Published: January 2025

This study investigated the perception of the community, parents and learners on AABE. AABE was introduced by the Kenya Government, religious entities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with the aim of promoting access to basic education and enhancing Universal Primary Education for all (UPE). However, school enrolment and literacy levels in Samburu have been low, at (44%) and (12%) respectively, raising the need to examine the success of AABE in meeting the envisaged purpose. The study tested one hypotheses, namely, perception, in Samburu County. The study applied a survey research design and collected data from both primary and secondary sources. Three structured questionnaires were used for 400 learners’ household heads, and 56 teachers in charge of the 56 AABE Centres and 10 AABE providers. Secondary data were obtained from the Ministry of Education offices, AABE Centres, libraries and the internet.  A stratified random sampling technique was used to sample the 400 respondents. Data was presented using frequency tabulations, chi-square, multiple regressions and correlation analyses. The findings showed that perception about AABE rated first as affecting viability of AABE in Samburu County with (92.5%) regarding it as inferior to formal education. Chi-square results showed a strong coefficient of 0.88 and with regression coefficient of -.64. It was the most highly correlated with a coefficient of+.8517. The respondents gave suggestions for enhancing AABE success and proposed that AABE system be done with or integrated with formal education (FE) by making FE more responsive to the needs of nomadic pastoralism.

This study examined the distance covered by learners to access AABE centres in Samburu County. AABE was introduced by the Kenya Government, religious entities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with the aim of promoting access to basic education and enhancing Universal Primary Education for all (UPE). However, school enrolment and literacy levels in Samburu have been low, at (44%) and (12%) respectively, raising the need to examine the success of AABE in meeting the envisaged purpose. The study tested one hypotheses, namely, distance covered, in Samburu County. The study applied a survey research design and collected data from both primary and secondary sources. Three structured questionnaires were used for 400 learners’ household heads, and 56 teachers in charge of the 56 AABE Centres and 10 AABE providers. Secondary data were obtained from the Ministry of Education offices, AABE Centres, libraries and the internet.  A stratified random sampling technique was used to sample the 400 respondents. Data was presented using frequency tabulations, chi-square, multiple regressions and correlation analyses. The findings showed that the Distance between home and AABE Centres was found to have had the average distance being 2.8 kilometer against the ideal 2.5 km as suggested by the respondents of whom the majority (62.7%) lived beyond 2.5 km. The study recommended for more studies to be done on viability of AABE in other nomadic pastoral areas and encompassing other variables.

Purpose: The aim of the study conducted among students from Poland was to examine the relationship between nutritional behaviors from a psychological perspective (emotional eating, habitual eating, dietary restrictions) and preferred diet
(healthy vs. unhealthy), in relation to selected anthropometric variables – body fat and muscle mass.
Methods: A total of 202 participants took part in the study. Including 103 women (age 21.44 ±2.14 years, stature 167.91 ±6.13 cm, body mass 62.08 ±12.11 kg) and 99 men (age 21.48±1.93 years, stature 179.12±7.11 cm, body mass 77.31±15.32 kg). The study used: 1) Eating Behaviour Questionnaire to measure the psychological attitude of an individual towards food and the functions it performs for them, 2) KOMPAN Questionnaire to verify eating habits and choices, 3) the medical scale to measure body mass, the stadiometer to measure stature and to assess the percentage of body fat. In addition, metric data
were collected.
Results: Statistical analyses showed that psychologically understood eating behaviors were associated with the percentage of body fat - the higher the intensity of emotional eating, the higher the percentage of body fat (R= .382; P< .001) and the lower the percentage of muscle in total body mass (R=- .202; P< .01). Women in the studied sample showed a higher intensity of emotional eating compared to men (Mwomen 5.06±2.16 a.u.; Mmen 3.44±2.26 a.u.; U=2992.50; P< .001).
Conclusions: The significance of eating behavior in psychological terms for the proportion of body fat in body composition was confirmed. The increase in the intensity of emotional eating increases the proportion of body fat and decreases the proportion of muscle tissue in total body weight.

Los rastrojos de cobertura en el sistema de labranza cero, beneficia el control de malas hierbas. Sin embargo, la influencia de los diferentes cultivos de cobertura en la composición y la diversidad de éstas en el cultivo del caupí es poco conocida. Este estudio investiga la fitosociología, los índices de diversidad y equidad, control, similitud y diversidad beta de las malas hierbas en el cultivo de caupí manejado sobre diferentes cultivos de cobertura. El experimento se llevó a cabo en diseño de bloques completamente al azar, en esquema de parcelas divididas, con cuatro repeticiones. Las parcelas estaban constituidas por rastrojos de plantas de cobertura: vegetación espontánea (T1), brachiaria (T2), mijo (T3), crotalaria (T4), frijol canavalia (T5), brachiaria+crotalaria (T6), brachiaria+frijol canavalia (T7), mijo+crotalaria (T8), mijo+frijol canavalia (T9), mucuna negra (T10). Las subparcelas estaban constituidas por los tratamientos de manejo con y sin deshierbe mecánico. Las especies Tridax procumbens, Digitaria horizontalis y Digitaria insularis fueron las especies más importantes en el estudio fitossociológico. Los tratamientos cambiaron el número de individuos y los índices de diversidad y equidad. En el manejo de malezas, la cobertura T6 y T8 mostró mayor diversidad, mientras que T9 mostró mayor equidad.  Sin deshierbe, T2 y T6 tuvieron un menor número de individuos y mayor diversidad, pero T8 y T9 mostraron mayor equidad. Los cultivos de cobertura presentaron diferencias en la eficiencia de la supresión de malas hierbas en las áreas tratadas con deshierbe. Sin embargo, el cultivo de brachiaria se destacó como uno de los más eficientes para el control de estas malas hierbas. La similitud y diversidad beta de las malezas varió entre los tratamientos.
