Sensitisation of Taxpayers Education and Tax Administrations in Enhancement of Tax Compliance
Authors: Ugbogbo Sunday Nosa , Omoregie Nosa A.E. , Eguavoen Imuetinyan
Published: July 2024

This study reviewed relevant literatures on the sensitisation of taxpayers’ education and tax administrations in enhancement of tax compliance. The library research was adopted in the study which entails a review of existing literature and forms the basis for the conclusion to be drawn. The study was supported by the fiscal exchange theory with the assumption that the behaviour of taxpayer’s compliance can be influenced with the services and public goods provided by the government. Tax non-compliance is common in developing countries and has been linked to a number of issues, including ineffective tax administration, low taxpayer morale, a lack of institutional capacity for taxing the informal sector, lack of technological infrastructure and mismanagement of tax revenue. This study then bring to recommendation that government should be transparent, accountable and reduce perception of corruption when dealing with taxpayers, as this would create trust and influence tax compliance voluntarily.

Se diseñó un estudio con enfoque cualitativo y de tipo descriptivo-explicativo, en el que se realizaron grupos focales con docentes universitarios de la ciudad de Bogotá pertenecientes a tres cohortes generacionales. Los resultados evidencian diversas percepciones relacionadas con la edad de los maestros sobre la viabilidad, trascendencia y efectos de permitir o no estas herramientas en el aula, también ponen de manifiesto los cambios en las dinámicas de enseñanza-aprendizaje (EA) debido a su uso. Los docentes emplean los desarrollos tecnológicos desde su experiencia inmersiva en este campo, sin obviar cierto grado de resistencia en su implementación por parte de los de mayor edad. Aunque se destaca la autonomía del estudiante en la búsqueda de información, la presencia del docente sigue siendo clave, ahora con un enfoque diferente al transmisionista y más centrado en la construcción colectiva de conocimiento, el intercambio de ideas y la discusión. Se concluye que es necesario avanzar en la comprensión profunda sobre las percepciones actuales de los docentes frente a las tecnologías digitales, en cuanto a su experiencia, el rol y la funcionalidad de estas en el contexto educativo a los fines del mejoramiento, en prospectiva de la experiencia docente y las prácticas de EA.
Latent Functions of the Fairy Tales in Visual Culture
Authors: Serova Viktoria. A. ,   Crimean University of Culture, Arts and Tourism
Published: July 2024

The paper addresses the Russian folk tale, which represents a concentrated centuries-old experience of previous generations. The Russian folk tale, richly saturated with symbols, performs an extensive list of functions, some of which are not immediately noticeable. The author pays attention not only to the existing functions of fairy tales in culture, but also analyzes the functions of the fairy-tale symbols in visual culture, focusing on the hidden functions of fairy-tale symbolism. While analyzing visual messages, the author discovered three latent functions used within the visual culture. The paper detects reasons for the reception of fairy-tale symbolism, which at its root contains archetypes that constantly and unconsciously affect the consciousness of almost any modern person. As an example the author has chosen modern advertising videos, print advertising, as well as visual foreign and domestic political events that somehow, covertly, and sometimes aggressively contain and use fabulous symbols. The study comes to the conclusion revealing the causes of the latent functions of fairy-tale symbolism in visual culture.

Published: July 2024

The research comes up with the reconstruction of the biography of one of the most prominent historical figures of Ancient Rus' of the 12th century — Novgorod boyar Raguil Dobrynich, involving special methods of cognition (historical-analytical and problematical-chronological). The materials constituting the basis of the study were analyzed taking into account the chronology of events and the need to obtain historical information from the scientific sources under study. The authors used the method of comparative and retrospective analysis when comparing different theoretical views upon the chosen issue. The paper provides a historiographic analysis of the issue and identifies the main relevant sources in question. Basing on the texts of Old Russian chronicles, as well as the contents of birch bark letter No. 831, the authors reconstructed the Novgorod period of the biography of Raguil Dobrynich, and outlined his role in the historical events associated with the expulsion and murder of Prince Igor Olegovich. The study pays special attention to the analysis of the historical events of 1170 related to the revolt of the Novgorod squad against their prince Vladimir Mstislavich, in which Raguil Dobrynich played a key role. The research allowed concluding that Raguil Dobrynich belonged to the glorious Novgorod Dobrynich family and was the son of the eighth Novgorod mayor. With the squad of Prince Vladimir Mstislavich, he took part in many historical events of the second half of the 12th century and ended his political career in one of the administrative positions in ancient Novgorod.

Authors: Moskovskaya Daria S. ,   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Romanova Olga V. ,   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

The slogan of “odemyanivanie”, as a call to proletarian poets to learn from the poet and fable writer, agitator and propagandist D. Bedny was not a short-term campaign of the critics of the Association of Proletarian Writers, responding to the historical moment when the Association was looking for artistic ways to embody a new, properly proletarian content. The slogan of “odemyanivanie” accompanied proletarian critical thought for a whole decade, from 1923 to 1932, each time revealing a new educational, enlightening, ideological and political potential. In this way, Demyan Bedny's experience of working with the word was drawn into the sphere of literary struggle and political order, and the slogan itself changed its reference in response to the political and ideological peculiarities of the current time. From this perspective, the “odemyanivanie” slogan appears as a concentrated expression of the Association's literary policy during the years of its peak as well as in the moment of its decline.
The Heroic Image of Montenegro in Russian Literature of the Early 19th Century
Authors: Osipova Elena A. ,   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

The paper deals with the first literary and scholarly responses about Serbs that appeared in Russian periodicals, memoirs and travel notes in the first quarter of the 19th century. A considerable part of these materials concerned Montenegro, the most exotic Serbian province, known for its struggle against the Turks. The main impetus to the description of Serbs in Montenegro was the interest of Russian authors to the folk poetry and patriarchal morals of the Slavs, co-religionists with Russia, who admired travelers for their military valor and heroic struggle against the Turks. The words of the Russian officer, writer V.B. Bronevsky, who, with the squadron of Vice-Admiral D.N. Senyavin took part in the combat operations of the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean, are quite noteworthy. Speaking of his desire to describe the life and manners of the Serbs, he writes of them as a people “by origin and faith, so close to us, and by devotion, love and zeal for Russia, all the more worthy of my compatriots' attention”. The peculiarity of such materials is that the description of historical and cultural realities, the mention of certain designations and names are given in accordance with the general level of scientific knowledge about the foreign Slavs in the specified period. For this reason, there are terminological discrepancies and inaccuracies in dates and names. Meanwhile, the above-mentioned works and memoirs of Russian scholars and writers laid the foundation for a more thorough study of Slavs, which began in Russia in the following decades.

The paper considers such a type of road accessories as baggage, which became an element of costume during the development of fashion of the 19–21 centuries, and won a stable position in the hierarchy of fashion art. The suitcase is one of the “youngest” types of luggage — Louis Vuitton's invention, as a light, roomy and mobile version of a bulky chest. It is noteworthy that the suitcases were made of a variety of materials, and a number of countries, including Russia, witnessed the evolution of wicker luggage, such as baskets, later chests, and with the advent of an easy option — suitcases. The authors trace the history of chests and suitcases woven from vines in Russia, dwelling upon the study of suitcase of the beginning of the 20th century. The suitcase under study belonged to the soloist of the Bolshoi Theater A.M. Timoshaeva and is a complex of materials that are used in its manufacture — a vine case, a metal alloy (brass) — fittings, an iron frame with paper porcelain cardboard, leather decorative elements and a handle, fabric lining. Being in an unsatisfactory condition, the suitcase has lost its strength and aesthetic appearance, which shows the need for restoration and reconstruction of losses. The authors conducted research surveys in the field of attribution signs of the suitcase, restoration measures to recover and strengthen the elements of the suitcase in order to give it an expositional look for the theater museum.

Authors: Blagorodova Elena A. ,   Southern Federal University
Published: July 2024

The study deals with the urgent problem of aging, which is considered not as a biological, but as a socio-cultural process. The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of identification process in old age. The author examines the role of culture and its influence on identity. The difference in cultural archetypes is reflected in the understanding of the concept of aging. The paper shows that an elderly person is facing an identity crisis. The cultural context, gender, place of residence, family, and nature of work affect the presence and depth of this crisis and, as a result, the very activity of a person in old age. The analysis of the modern concepts of “active aging” demonstrates the need for urther consideration of this topic. The author addresses the issue of the formation of identity of the “victim” as one of the forms of ageism in modern culture. The study concludes that a culture of participation may act as a tool enabling older people to express and preserve their identity, as well as to avoid crisis and the formation of the victim's identity. The author consider the culture of participation as an opportunity to be a contributor and creator of culture, not just its consumer.

Authors: Souza Julia Araújo De , Weig Karin de Mello , Borge Carolina Paes , Magalhães Filho Thales Ribeiro de , Barros Rosana Rocha
Published: July 2024

O alginato é um material usado na odontologia para moldagem de arcada dentária. Sua propriedade de embebição permite absorver fluidos da cavidade oral, que infectam o molde e o modelo de gesso. Por isso a importância da desinfecção, prevenindo contaminação e potencial infecção cruzada. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a eficácia da clorexidina associada ao alginato na inibição do crescimento de microrganismos presentes na cavidade oral. O alginato foi avaliado de 4 formas distintas: sem clorexidina; com clorexidina borrifada após geleificação, com clorexidina incorporada em sua fórmula e manipulado com clorexidina 0,3%. No teste in vitro a eficácia foi avaliada frente a uma cultura de Streptococcus mutans. No teste in vivo foram feitas moldagens em 4 voluntários e os moldes de alginato e modelos de gesso avaliados microbiologicamente. Ambos os testes foram semeados em ágar sangue, incubados a 35o C por 20h e feita observação visual de crescimento bacteriano. Como resultado obteve-se: no teste in vitro houve crescimento bacteriano somente no alginato sem a clorexidina; já nos testes in vivo o alginato borrifado com clorexidina não teve crescimento em 75% dos modelos de gesso; os alginatos com clorexidina diluída, incorporada e sem clorexidina não tiveram crescimento em 12,5% dos modelos. Como conclusão obteve-se que a clorexidina foi eficiente na inibição do crescimento do S. mutans, mas aumentando a população bacteriana, o método mais efetivo foi a clorexidina borrifada, diminuindo o risco de infecção cruzada.

Firefighters frequently face the risk of Low back pain (LBP) due to the strenuous nature of their duties, especially during hose rolling tasks. Prioritizing their safety and health is vital. This study aimed to evaluate and compare various hose rolling techniques to lower the LBP risk in firefighters. A full-factorial approach was employed to exhaustively examine every possible combination of three key factors: the hose rolling method (conventional, mechanical, motorized), hose condition (dry, wet, dirty), and hose length (10, 20, 30 meters). Across 27 different trials, an Industrial Lumbar Motion Monitor (iLMM) was used to assess the LBP risk, which is lift rate, average twisting velocity, maximum moment, maximum sagittal flexion, and maximum lateral velocity. The study's results indicated that conventional method had the highest LBP risk at 58.22%, with mechanical rolling at 34.33%. In contrast, the motorized hose rolling method showed a significantly lower risk, averaging at 17.44%. This denotes a 40.78% reduction in LBP risk compared to conventional hose rolling method, positioning the motorized roller as the most effective and safest option among those tested. This method's efficacy underscores its potential as a viable solution for improving firefighter safety. These findings offer important insights into occupational health and safety in firefighting. The data suggests that adopting motorized hose rolling tools could significantly alleviate the physical burdens and associated health hazards firefighters face. This advancement is a critical step towards enhancing their overall safety and well-being in the field.

Composite materials are widely used as repair materials in the oil and gas sector, particularly for vessels, piping, and pipelines. Inspection and monitoring of these composite repairs is a critical aspect of ensuring their integrity and long-term performance. The reason being that failure of composite repairs may lead to loss of production and incur additional costs for re-repair or equipment replacement. Conventionally, a visual inspection is generally performed to observe any irregularities on the external surface of the composite repairs. This will usually be followed by a series of Non-destructive Tests (NDT) to identify the extent of the damage. However, these NDT methods, merely allowing off-line testing in a local manner with complicated and heavy equipment, require extensive and time-consuming labour. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) based on Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) that utilizes strain-based signals is one of the best options for monitoring the damage mechanism in composite due to its unique advantages of light weight, high stability and reliability, a long-life cycle, and the ability to capture the online reading. In this paper, the application of the FBG monitoring approach was used to examine the strain characteristics of composite materials based on mechanical tests (tensile and flexural). Three types of samples were prepared to simulate the type of damage mechanism: healthy, delamination, and disbondment. Based on the results, it was shown that the FBG sensor has potential for detecting and distinguishing the types of failure mechanisms in composites, including cracks, delamination, and disbondment. Hence, it was suggested that the FBG sensor technology could be used for site deployment in industry.

This study aims to explore the effects of e- Multimedia Animation (E-MMA) on microstructure shift materials on atomic properties of engineering materials with a focus on conceptual mastery and Problem-solving skills. The research sample consisted of 32 JPTM FPTK UPI students who were prospective vocational teachers. The level of difficulty of the engineering materials course varies in each subject, with the majority of students experiencing difficulties in the subject of phase diagrams (68.8%), shifts or movements of atoms and crystal structures (25.0%), and other subjects (6.3%). This research uses research and development methods with qualitative and quantitative approaches. The research instruments used are tests, rubrics, and questionnaires that have been validated by experts. The data processing process is carried out through qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis, including the percentage of N-gain to measure the improvement of learning outcomes. The results showed that the application of E-MMA to atomic shear plane material resulted in increased mastery of concepts and problem-solving skills. The experimental class using E-MMA achieved an increase in mastery of concepts with an average of 62.82%, while the control class using image media only achieved an increase of 15.52%. This shows that E-MMA is effective in increasing mastery of concepts. In addition, the use of E-MMA also improves problem-solving skills. The experimental class achieved an increase in problem-solving skills by an average of 79.72%, while the control class only achieved an improvement of 15.98%. These results show that E-MMA makes a significant contribution to improving problem-solving skills. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that E-MMA is an effective method for improving mastery of concepts and problem-solving skills in microstructural shift materials in atomic properties of engineering materials. The implementation of E-MMA can help students understand and overcome the difficulties associated with atomic shear planes.

Chaotic Encryption Scheme for Colour Image using 3D Lorenz Chaotic Map and 3D Chen System
Authors: Mandangan Arif , Jin Ying Irene Lim
Published: July 2024

Chaos-based image encryption system is an encryption method that uses chaotic systems in encrypting digital images for the purpose of enhancing security. Chaos theory exhibits some distinctive characteristics, which include butterfly-like patterns, unpredictable behavior, and sensitive dependence to initial conditions. . In the past few decades, image encryption based on a single chaotic map has been a common technique in encrypting images. However, there are still unauthorized interceptors who illegally access and obtain the private information of the image. With that being the case, an encryption method that applies more than one chaotic system will contribute to creating a more complex relationship between the original and encrypted images, making it challenging for unauthorized individuals to decipher or extract the original content of the image without the appropriate decryption key. In this study, two chaotic maps, 3D Lorenz Map and 3D Chen system, are applied to generate random cryptographic keys for encrypting color images using permutation and diffusion mechanisms. The proposed algorithm that employs two chaotic maps is proven to be an effective system that achieves excellent results in security.

There has been a growing interest in self-directed learning, especially in the context of higher education. This is due to the fact that 21st century learning environments required students to engage in a wider range of learning activities, including online distance learning. To make online learning meaningful, students must exhibit a greater awareness of their responsibility to control and monitor their own learning. In light of this, self-directed learning calls for a variety of skills to ensure effective independent learning. This has been the impetus for the researchers of the present study to look into the self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) among undergraduates of UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang who have actively participated in online learning for their ESL classes. A quantitative research design is employed using a survey adapted from Fisher's self-directed learning readiness scale. 224 diploma students and 33 bachelor’s degree students responded to the survey. Data is analyzed using SPSS v28 by means of descriptive and inferential statistics. It was found that the undergraduate students are able to manage themselves, have strong desire for learning and have good self-control. This information may aid in determining the value and current level of self-directed learning within the context. Additionally, it is necessary to put strategies into place that will assist students in becoming better prepared for self-directed learning in a wider range of learning activities.
