Eligibility for appeal litigation in the decision to request restriction of eligibility for participation in bidding under the Subcontracting Act and Succession of reasons for sanctions in case of company division: Based on the Supreme Court's ruling of 2020Du47892 on April 27, 2023
Authors:   National Public Law Review, Cho Seonyeong
Published: June 2023

In the event of a company split, the Supreme Court ruled on April 27, 2023, regarding whether a new company or surviving company can be subject to sanctions (hereinafter referred to as “sanctions”), such as a request for restrictions on eligibility to participate in bidding, and restrictions on eligibility to participate in bidding. The target judgment was that the Fair Trade Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “Fair Trade Commission”) decided to limit the eligibility to participate in the bidding and request suspension for the company's violation of the Subcontracting Act. This is based on the subcontracting law's imposition of penalty points and the legal nature of the request decision, the status of accumulated penalty points, the company division process, the content of the split plan, the identity of the business sector transferred to the new company. The target judgment identifies the legal nature, requirements, and effects of the FTC's request for corrective action, penalty points, and bidding qualification under the Subcontracting Act, and reveals the meaning of public law rights and obligations transferred to the split company. The target judgment is also useful in that it can set a standard to distinguish between cases where public law obligations are specified enough to succeed and cases where there is no room for succession by comparing and considering the succession of reasons for restricting bidding participation. However, it is important to note that the reasons for the decision to request restrictions on bidding participation and whether or not to succeed to the reasons for restrictions on bidding participation depend on the provisions and facts of the relevant disposition. The target judgment is also meaningful in that it clarified the meaning of the disposition as the subject of an appeal suit in relation to the interim decision by confirming the disposition of the request decision on January 12, 2023 and February 2, 2022, such as the imposition of penalty points by the Fair Trade Commission and restrictions on bidding participation. Despite the target judgment, there are still a lot of things to be clarified about the meaning of the status under the public law transferred according to the division of the company, including the succession of reasons for sanctions, so follow-up research and discussion should be continued.

Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) have been confirmed as vital transcription factors for the immune system, which play a certain role in anti-infection defense, immune regulation, hematopoietic cell development, and maturation of the immune system. In this study, the cDNA of Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) was cloned from black-spotted frog, Pelophylax nigromaculatus, and termed PnIRF5. The results indicated, the full-length cDNA of PnIRF5 was 2090 bp, and a putative protein of 504 amino acids was encoded. The results of protein domain prediction suggested that PnIRF5 exhibited a DNA-binding domain (DBD), a middle region (MR), an IRF association domain (IAD), a virus activated domain (VAD), as well as two nuclear localization signals (NLSs). Phylogenetic analysis clustered PnIRF5 into the amphibian IRF5 subgroup in vertebrate IRF5 group. The results of qPCR show that PnIRF5 mRNA was expressed in all examined tissues, with higher levels were identified in the kidney, intestine, and lung. The gene expression of PnIRF5 was analyzed in kidney, spleen, and liver of black-spotted frog after challenged with Elizabethkingia miricola, and the maximum expression level of PnIRF5 in liver, spleen, and kidney were 1.80, 2.33 and 2.88 times that at 0 days post challenged, respectively. As indicated by the results, the PnIRF5 protein may take on critical significance in protecting black-spotted frog from E. miricola infection, and they may play a certain role in the immune response of black-spotted frog against bacteria.

Authors: ÇAKMAK Cihan
Published: June 2023

Her türlü yeniliğe karşı çıkışın adı olan eski taraftarları eğitim alanında da yeniliklere yüksek sesle karşı çıkmışlardır. Usul-i kadim adı verilen ve Buhara tipi eğitimin yaygın olduğu eğitim kurumlarının işlevsizliği toplumun geri kalmasında en önemli etkenlerden biriydi. Uzun yıllar Arapça, Farsça’nın öğretildiği ve okuma yazmanın ötesine geçemeyen eski tip medreselere karşı çıkışın adı olan usul-i cedit hareketi, toplumsal yenilenmenin ve ilerlemenin en önemli temsilciliğini yapmıştır.

İsmail Gaspıralı’nın 19. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde açtığı ve usul-i cedit adını verdiği yeni tip medreselerde çocuklara 45 günde okuma yazma öğretiliyor, bunun yanında tarih, coğrafya, matematik gibi dünyevi ilimlere yer veriliyordu. Cedit okullar dalga dalga tüm Türk dünyasında yayılıyor ve toplumun gelişmesinin önünü açarak eğitim meselesine kökten çözüm bulmak için önemli bir işlevi yerine getiriyordu. İdil-Ural bölgesinde yetişen aydınların en önemlilerinden Fatih Kerimî, usul-i cedit hareketinin lideri olan İsmail Gaspıralı’nın fikirlerini ve eğitim faaliyetlerini benimsemiş bir Tatar aydını olarak sadece onun okullarında eğitim almamış, aynı zamanda Kırım’da açtığı usul-i cedit okulunda öğretmenlik yapmıştır.

Bu çalışmada Fatih Kerimînin “Cihangir Mahdumnun Avıl Mektebinde Ukuvı” adlı hikayesinden hareketle eğitim meselesi ele alınacaktır. Fatih Kerimî ile babası Gılman Kerimî’nin yaşamına dair izler görebildiğimiz bu eser İdil Ural bölgesinde yaşayan halkın eğitime bakış açısını yansıtması bakımından ayrıca önem taşımaktadır.

Published: June 2023

The post-pandemic economic situation forces companies to have breakthroughs to compete with competitors. This is a big enough problem for most MSMEs in Indonesia, including UD Sumber Dwi Jaya Food, which is engaged in the snack food sector in Lampung. Weak market conditions coupled with high raw material prices have forced UD Sumber Dwi Jaya Food to learn and innovate regarding its products. This will boost organizational performance so MSMEs can compete and increase their profits. This study aims to analyze the effect of organizational learning on organizational performance through organizational innovation. The population in this study were 38 employees of UD Sumber Dwi Jaya Food, all of whom were used as research samples. The method used in this research is using PLS-SEM analysis. Organizational learning can drive organizational performance because the organization can become a medium for employee learning and development. On the other hand, organizational innovation cannot encourage organizational performance or strengthen the relationship between organizational learning and organizational performance. The culture of innovation in SMEs is not going well, because low results for the innovation culture indicator. Not many innovations occur in SMEs, so this affects employee perceptions at work. This is interesting, considering that, in theory, organizational Innovation can improve organizational performance.

During the semester break of high school years, one of the most common activities of students is taking tutorial courses, as most students consider this interval to be the preparation time for entering their dream school. The attitude of each student toward tutorial courses is very different; some are very happy to attend, while others are not happy at all. Happiness plays an essential role in high school students’ lives during the summer break since happiness helps students relax and also increases their productivity. Thus, we are curious about the effect of tutorial courses on the happiness of Thai high school students in Bangkok. In order to determine the correlation between these two factors, we decided to conduct a cross-sectional survey. The data was collected by sending questionnaires about the effect of participation in tutorial courses on happiness to students in various high schools in Bangkok. We received a total of 324 respondents, who are from various types of high schools, including public, private, international, and home schools. Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) was used for data analysis. The results show no significant relationship between tutorial courses and happiness, which include: 1) the number of tutoring hours taken per day (P-value = 0.342), 2) the duration of the semester breaks (P-value = 0.727), 3) the number of days to take tutorial courses in a week (P-value = 0.319), and 4) the type of tutorial courses taken (P-value = 0.221). This research has most of the respondents studying in public schools and studying in grade 12, so this might be the reason that extra tutorial classes do not affect happiness. This research helps us understand whether there is a relationship between happiness and taking tutorial courses during summer break, and also provides us with information for further research.
BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS OF SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN
Authors: R Mariyappa Ms. Jacintha , Edwin Dr. Sherene G
Published: June 2023

Children who are tired and worn out have behaviour problems more than those who are relaxed. Fatigue has been identified as one of the most common factors behind child’s inappropriate behaviour. It is not normal for children to harm themselves or even think about self-harm. So, if they are harming themselves physically and having suicidal tendencies, you should be worried. Children who are overwhelmed are more easily tired, and children who are tired are more likely to behave in inappropriate ways. Fear makes kids do crazy things. It can make them lie or act in inappropriate ways in an attempt to hide that fear. It can also be the reason behind behaviour such as anxiety.

THE VIEW OF FAMILY MEMORY IN THE MOVIE COMING HOME (2014)
Authors: Meidiska Aulia , Wuryandari Nurni Wahyu
Published: June 2023

This paper explores the view of family memory in the movie Coming Home (2014) to underline the importance of family memory in maintaining the family wholeness. This paper is a qualitative study with sociological approach focusing on the concept of family memory by Halbwachs. The results of this paper demonstrate that the presence of family memories determines one’s perception and action toward other family members and helps family members to encounter challenges that occur within the family or in the society. Meanwhile, the absence of family memory makes someone care less to other family members and get easily influenced by external factors outside the family. Family memory is concurrently possible to maintain cultural tradition within a family and even a nation, thus family memory between family members goes beyond family affair, not only strengthen and unite a family but also a nation.

Biological Sex and the Medical Community
Authors: Gomez Anahi , Branstetter Kayla
Published: June 2023

There are numerous contributing factors to the overall health of a person as well as factors that dictate the best course of treatment. A great contributor to that decision is the biological sex, it can influence every decision that a medical provider makes for their patient. With transgenderism, let us not forget that in the medical community, knowing the biological sex of the patient is crucial for proper patient care and accurate diagnosis. In healthcare, the sex of a patient means more than just "male" or "female". It gives a clearer understanding of what the underlying issue may be. That includes taking reproductive organs into account for possible causes of abnormal signs and symptoms. As an even clearer picture, being able to identify the proper sex-chromosome pair (XX or XY) allows professionals to be concious of X- linked recessive disorders.
Fleeting Route Design with Uncertainty
Authors: Zhang Xinyue
Published: June 2023

During COVID-19, the air industry has shrunk due to drastically reduced demand and flight bans. Air transport network optimization is significant in fleet routing design, which helps the air company to make a decision to open the new routes while maximizing the profit. We want to study when an area is subjected to stability shocks that prevent air trac from entering, how air planners comprehensively consider the factors to design new fleeting routes while optimizing the profit. In this research, we start by developing a baseline model and then a networked model, both theoretical, to simulate the situation for an air company and provide optimization results. We find a simple situation to determine: if a route has a positive maximized expected profit, we will decide to open the route. The optimal results obtained from the model are proved to be optimal by mathematics analysis in the study. Several potential future study directions relevant to the research are discussed, including stochastic demand and network connection, which could be better explain the situation of air transport network design and thus be more applicable in reality.
Niger's Child Marriage Crisis: Health, Rights, and Protection
Authors: Ngai Megan , Kreutzer Joo Mina , Yacob Weenta-Letehans
Published: June 2023

Child marriage is a harmful practice that strips millions of children’s human rights by threatening their health, safety, and autonomy. While boys and girls are subject to this form of abuse, girls are disproportionately affected with more than 650 million women alive today married as children (OHCHR 2022). Niger consistently ranks as the country with the highest prevalence of child marriage with 76% of girls married before the age of 18. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was predicted that more than 100 million girls would be subject to child marriages before their 18th birthday. However, due to the pandemic, a predicted additional 10-13 million will be left susceptible to violence and severe health complications (UNICEF 2020). As a result, major plans need to be made to meet the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals’ call for global action to eliminate child marriage by 2030 (UNICEF 2020). To understand the major implications of child marriages on the development of children in Niger, this paper will identify various convention violations, specifically the Convention on the Right of the Child (CRC), main drivers of child marriages, and the negative health and psychological impacts of child marriages. This paper will conclude with ways to develop interventions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for eliminating child marriages by 2030 on both a local and global scale and identify knowledge gaps to create more equitable and holistic interventions to eliminate child marriage practices for children.

The Effects of Cupriavidus Metallidurians on Plant Growth and Development in Areas with Heavy Metal Runoff
Authors: Cheng Jason , Joykutty Leya , Caulkins Juliana
Published: June 2023

This project measures the effects of C. metallidurians on agricultural plant growth in environments with heavy metal runoff. Heavy metals have been known to negatively impact the environment specifically in the form of runoff. Heavy metals usually accumulate plant roots and inhibit nutrient and water transportation within plants. lIn this project, heavy metals being tested include Zinc, which prevents nutrients from being transported to the leaves; Nickel, which inhibits transpiration and photosynthesis and impairs metabolism; and Copper, which can cause protein denaturation and corrupt soil viability. C. metallidurians are a type of bacteria known to have heavy metal resistant plasmids and plasmid determinants specifically directed towards a different heavy metal each, with the cnr being resistant to copper and nickel, chr being resistant to copper and zinc, and cop being resistant to specifically copper. C. metallidurans have previously been known to detoxify high concentrations of copper and gold. They more famously have been known to pump out gold nuggets from exposure to copper metals. Since the effects of other heavy metals on C. metallidurans are not as well studied, this project aims to study the effects of those other heavy metals such as Zinc, Nickel, and Copper and apply this interaction to a real-life scenario of agriculture to see if this bacteria may be able to minimize the damage of Heavy Metal Runoff pollution.
Philosophical Optimism and the Philosophy of Leibniz
Authors: Kondrashkov Yurii
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the historical and philosophical analysis of the philosophical texts and life views of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. In the text, the author considers the possibility of considering the philosophy of the German scientist as optimistic. As a definition of philosophical optimism itself, the author takes the ideas of Voltaire, which are clearly presented in his book "Candide". The analysis is based on a number of new essays and articles devoted to the philosophy and worldview of Leibniz. The purpose of the analysis is to revise the tired understanding that Leibniz's philosophy has a direct connection with philosophical optimism.
Solving Partial Differential Equations for Physical and Chemical Problems Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks
Authors: Yang Xiaorui , Chen Haotian
Published: June 2023

Numerous physical and chemical problems at a high school level can be described by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs). However, the underlying equations troubled high school students because they often lack advanced mathematical skills, such as discrete calculus. Our goal is not to elaborate on those skills, but to offer a shortcut to the solution. In this paper, we demonstrated the use of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), a neural network which solves the PDEs by incorporating the PDEs into the loss functions. The heat transfer equation and second order chemical kinetics are the two chosen model problems for high school seniors. Using PINNs, we were able to solve these two problems without recurring to university math. Hence, we strongly recommend peers to employ this method for physical or chemical problems for high school students and beyond.

Should borderline personality disorder be placed on the bipolar spectrum?
Authors: Krishna Sreemayee
Published: June 2023

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a mood disorder characterized by changes in activity levels, mood, and energy. These categories can range from elation during manic episodes to depression during depressive episodes. BD affects 2-3% of the population. Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is the diagnostic label assigned to individuals who struggle with unstable personal relationships, hypersensitivity to rejection, or an unstable self-image. 1.6% of the general population has this disorder and 20 percent of those in the psychiatric population have BD. Given that BD and BPD share features, such as rapid mood swings, impulsive actions, and suicidal behavior it is sometimes difficult for practitioners to readily and accurately differentiate between these two disorders. These issues with diagnosis have led to the idea BPD should belong on the spectrum of bipolar disorders. The current paper compares the disorders, including their clinical presentation and symptoms, the effect of genetic and environmental factors on the development of these disorders, and treatments for each disorder. The aforementioned topics represent factors underlying the resolution to the question of whether BPD belongs on the bipolar spectrum. Answering this question would allow researchers and clinicians to better understand the relationship between these disorders and the best treatments for BPD and BD.
A study on US Mass Shooting using data analysis and machine learning
Authors: Fang Andrew
Published: June 2023

Many years ago, mass shootings have become one major problem in our country. In 2021, more than 45,000 people were murdered in mass shootings. And I started to wonder, why are people doing this? If we can get some clues with existing data, it might help prevent future tragedies from happening.    

In many shooting incidents, the shooters seem to massacre without any reason. Many people wonder if it’s related to the murderer’s mental health. I started to gather some data and found two datasets about mass shootings and mental health on Kaggle, a public data-sharing website. First, I performed data analysis and statistical testing with the two datasets To further investigate the relationship between mass shootings and mental health, I fitted a linear regression model with the merged datasets. I found out that there’s an obvious correlation between these two variables, which means mental illness was one of the direct reasons that caused mass shootings. 

In addition, I want to help people avoid mass shootings. So I made a linear regression model, which helps to predict how many total victims there will be based on input factors, like location, race, age, etc. Using this model, people can put more security in dangerous locations to best avoid mass shootings.
An Unpredicted Shock to the Global Financial System: Macro/Microeconomic Effects Across Countries
Authors: Eng Kelly , Anagnost John
Published: June 2023

The current COVID-19 pandemic has brought back a familiar circumstance, starting with a widespread disease that eventually caused inflation. This research paper examines a previous event that began with a housing bubble burst but also had a significant impact on people all over the world. This paper talks about the many effects that the U.S., China, and European Union had because of the 2008 Great Recession, exploring these countries within many categories: macroeconomic, microeconomic, regional, and futuristic planning. We consider the benefits and disadvantages of the enactments that countries provided their citizens during, before, and after the economic crisis. We explore how variations in a country’s socio-political, economic, and cultural foundations impact its ability to prevent and recover from a recession.
Effects of Work-Family Conflict on Working Women
Authors: Kim Jean
Published: June 2023

This paper is mainly about the work-family conflict women face in this society. This paper shows the relationship between work-family conflict and various factors such as social support, turnover intention, and low job engagement. To find the effects of work-family conflict on working women, the survey was sent out to the people who currently have a workplace. The majority of the participants were women, as the research’s main focus was on working women. The results proved the positive correlation between work-family conflict and turnover intention. In addition, surprisingly, the survey showed that the control variables such as age, tenure, gender, and the number of children had insignificant impacts on the work-family conflict.
Neanderthal fiber technology innovations and the reduction of the biological cost of having offspring
Authors: Song Dana , Woodall James
Published: June 2023

Many laypeople often consider Neanderthals (400 kya to 40 kya) to be our cognitively inferior forebears. Recent interdisciplinary research, however, has contended that Neanderthals were much smarter than our prejudices allow. Archaeological findings of technologies – like digging sticks and woven cordage – indicate that Neanderthals had the capacity to make tools to aid their life processes. As such, Neanderthals innovated technologies related to weaning in order to reduce its energetic demands. By using research from archaeology, anthropology, and dental morphology concerning Neanderthal weaning, this paper contends that Neanderthals had much greater cognitive abilities than many have previously thought.
Displaced By Words: How Does Media Impact Gentrification?
Authors: Sheng Linxiang , Sun Chyng
Published: June 2023

To put it simply, gentrification is a process where capital investment in a previously neglected area leads to the influx and eventual takeover of middle-class groups, displacing the original working-class residents in the area during the process. This research paper is a literature review that discusses the background of gentrification, how it is portrayed and facilitated by the media, and how it could be countered through media. I specifically examined different forms of media that can either facilitate or counteract gentrification, while closely relating these examinations with societal factors of class and race. Overall, the media has an affirmative role in gentrification, with some forms more so than others. This can be largely attributed to the fact that mainstream media typically supports the stance of the middle class, which is the primary gentrifier in the process of gentrification. The media can also be used to combat gentrification, both for promoting anti-gentrification movements and for identifying gentrification. However, there are significant challenges in these methods that are yet to be fully overcome.
Are performance-based payment structures more strongly correlated with better health outcomes compared to solely fee-for-service payment for surgeons?
Authors: George Matthew , Anagnost John
Published: June 2023

For years, the healthcare industry has compensated its surgeons with a simple fee-for-service model. With more payment structures becoming prevalent, we decided to review one specific type of payment structure, pay-for-performance, and its impact on patient health outcomes. We hypothesized that, on average, across all specialties, performance-based contracts would yield better health outcomes compared to fee-for-service payments alone. We also hypothesized that performance-based contracts might pressure physicians to get results and could lead to mistakes and a worse quality of care. We reviewed nine papers from 2006-2014, of which the majority were conducted in the United States, with one each from Italy and Germany. Our review included three literary/systematic reviews, three before & after studies, and two cross-sectional analyses. Many papers did not provide strong evidence of the effect of pay-for-performance on health outcomes, although examined papers agree on certain things. A common theme we found was the pay-for-performance increased documentation and the number of procedures done, but with minimal conclusions about outcomes. This may result from poor or non-standardized metrics being used to measure and report “performance.” However, two studies found that pay-for-performance improved patient health outcomes, despite limitations.  For example, Brosig-Koch et al., (2013) found that P4P was not cost-effective from a solely financial standpoint.
Evaluating Machine Learning Models on Predicting Change in Enzyme Thermostability
Authors: Vijayram Avnith , Luu Jacklyn
Published: June 2023

Enzymes are efficient catalysts for biological reactions and can potentially be designed to speed up non-biological reactions, such as reactions in industrial processes. However, physically experimenting with new protein designs is time consuming, and an efficient method to predict protein stability is needed. Our research problem is finding the best machine learning model to predict the change in enzyme thermostability after a single point mutation in the amino acid sequence. We trained several machine learning models and found that the XGBoost model had the best performance with an R2 score of 0.593 (R2 score is a metric where higher is better and a perfect model would have a score of 1).
Factors Influencing Ukrainian Parolees’ Decision to Migrate in the U.S.

Published: June 2023

The outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war has caused a massive influx of Ukrainian refugees into the U.S. To address this, President Biden implemented the Uniting for Ukraine program which provides a pathway for Ukrainian refugees and their families to temporarily stay in the U.S. for a two-year period of parole.  The question arises, will Ukrainian parolees’ decide to stay or leave the U.S. after two years? This study attempts to better understand the factors that are influencing Ukrainian parolees’ intentions to decide whether to stay or leave the U.S. The study surveyed parolees to gather data on their intentions. The findings provide convincing evidence that the majority of respondents indicated that they intend to stay in the U.S. The key factors influencing those who wish to stay include traveling as a group, family members in the US, the ongoing war, other family reasons, and finances. Those who intended to leave were influenced by factors such as family in Ukraine, culture, the ongoing war, and financial reasons. The results of the study can inform future policies toward refugee groups in the U.S. and further the field of migration studies.
The Behavioral and physiological impacts of the hormesis of chemical contaminants on embryonic zebrafish
Authors: Kumar Akshay , Joykutty Leya , Caulkins Juliana
Published: June 2023

Pharmaceutical chemicals are being produced, consumed, and excreted in human civilization at an increasing rate. These chemicals have the capacity to accumulate, especially in environments such as freshwater systems, but there have not been any major responses to this threat yet as the present concentrations of the chemicals is not viewed as dangerous. Previous research has shown that the developing concentrations of chemicals is an issue, supporting that these chemicals, though not present in large doses, have impacts on exposed organisms. However, prior research has not been conducted to examine the specific effects of chemicals at hormetic concentrations on freshwater organisms. “Hormetic concentration” defines the concentrations of chemicals at specific levels where the response to a low dose of chemical differs from the response to the high dose, and these were the ranges of concentration that were tested in this experiment.  Zebrafish were acquired at zero days post fertilization, transferred to the medium containing the appropriate concentration of chemicals for the group that they would be a part of, and used as a model for aquatic organisms to show the resulting chemical, neural, and physical response to the chemical concentrations. The zebrafish were euthanized via bleaching and freezing prior to seven days post fertilization. The results of this experiment show that there is an ecological risk associated with the environmental accumulation of pharmaceutical chemical contaminants that is inherent to their use in human civilization, a result which makes it clear that this issue needs to be addressed.
Natural Language Processing used in sentiment analysis of poetry: a study of six common techniques
Authors: Nair Tanya
Published: June 2023

This paper explores and compares the accuracies of six different NLP model techniques when applied to analysis of English poetry. It was found that bigram-based and word embedding-based models were the most accurate in deriving emotions from the bodies of text in the corpus, with respective accuracies of 61.67% and 61.68%. The least accurate models were the unigram-based model and distributed dictionary-based model, constructed using the traditional approach rather than the new methodology, and had accuracies of 11.173% and 48.17% respectively. Most models passed the benchmark accuracies of 49.42% and 47.86%, the higher accuracy one being a word count model and lower one being a sentiment model. The need for newer methodologies that allow for higher dimensional levels of semantic analysis to be performed is also discussed in this paper, along with the potential impacts of this research to the field of Natural Language Processing.
