The Alpha Distance Formulae
Authors: Çolakoğlu Harun Barış
Published: July 2024

In this study, we define the concept of tangent in two and three-dimensional alpha spaces concerning the alpha circles and the alpha spheres. Then using this concept, we derive the alpha distance formulae between points, a point and a line, between two lines and a point and a plane of the alpha spaces. Finally, we give simple area and volume formulas in the three dimensional space in terms of the alpha distances.

On the Boundary Functional of a Semi-Markov Process
Authors: Ibayev Elshan
Published: July 2024

In this paper, we consider the semi-Markov random walk process with negative drift, positive
jumps. An integral equation for the Laplace transform of the conditional distribution of the boundary
functional is obtained. In this work, we define the residence time of the system by generalized exponential
distributions with different parameters via fractional order integral equation. The purpose of this paper
is to reduce an integral equation for the Laplace transform of the conditional distribution of a boundary
functional of the semi-Markov random walk processes to fractional order differential equation with constant
coefficients.
On Some Positive Linear Operators Preserving the B^{-1}-Convexity of Functions
Authors: Uzun Mustafa , Tunç Tuncay
Published: July 2024

In the study, we first give an inequality that non-negative differentiable functions must satisfy to be B^{-1}-convex. Then, using the inequality, we show that the B^{-1}-convexity property of functions is preserved by Bernstein-Stancu operators, Sz'asz-Mirakjan operators and Baskakov operators. In addition, we compare the concepts B^{-1}-convexity and B-concavity of functions.

Authors: Ghazali Afiah Mohamed , Umar Nasiru Bilkisu , Hussain Norhayati
Published: July 2024

Pandan of Pandanaceae family, known for its aromatic foliage, vibrant green color, and rich in bioactive compounds, requires green extraction technology to stabilise compounds. Hence, this study aims to optimise process parameters of aqueous ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) on the color, yield, and antioxidant content of pandan extract using the Response Surface Method (RSM), and compare the volatile compounds present in optimised ultrasonicated pandan extract with macerated extract (control). The analysis includes DPPH and FRAP assays, total phenolic content (TPC), color, and yield. Optimally validated parameters (R2 ≥ 0.90, p-value lack-of-fit ≥ 0.05) were: 80°C extraction temperature, 90 min ultrasonic time, 2.60 % of solid in 20 mL distilled water yielded promising antioxidant activities: 277.64 mg/g AAE, 19.90 mg/g GAE, and 1.48 g/g AAE for DPPH, TPC, and FRAP assays, respectively). UAE technique has significantly (p<0.05) higher yield of extract (86.24%) and DPPH scavenging activity (277.64 mg/g AAE) compared with control. The 3-methyl-2(5H)-furanone is the most abundant volatile compound found in both extracts. The cavitation in ultrasonication generates currents, increasing pandan's mass transfer rate into the solvent medium. The optimised ultrasonication condition contributes to the increased quality of the pandan extract.

Authors: Aguilera-Jiménez Antonio , Erena-Guardia Gema , Alcántara-Lázaro Ana A.
Published: July 2024

Han sido numerosas las publicaciones sobre los retos, dificultades y soluciones que ha supuesto el paso de una enseñanza presencial a otra online debido al COVID19, pero son menos las que abordan las consecuencias de la vuelta a las aulas. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar si la enseñanza online ha tenido algunas consecuencias en la vuelta a la presencialidad. Para ello, analizamos los resultados académicos y las percepciones de cuatro promociones de estudiantes en una asignatura del Grado de Educación Primaria: la que recibió docencia online, la inmediatamente anterior y las dos posteriores. Los resultados muestran que tanto el rendimiento académico como la valoración de la asignatura son peores en la primera promoción presencial tras la docencia online, lo que nos permite afirmar que esta ha conducido a pautas de estudio que han perjudicado la vuelta a la docencia presencial en los campus no habituados para una enseñanza a distancia.
Artivist Métissage: Re-Storying Indigenous-Canadian Relations through Winter Count Making
Authors: Obol Leslie
Published: July 2024

Through critical and creative reflection, I consider what it means to be a Treaty Person in so-called Canada from the perspective of a settler educator. I focus on winter count making, which is a traditional practice of the Lakota (Sioux), Blackfoot, Kiowa, and Mandan Nations of the Prairies where symbols are created and used to recall significant events. I share about my own winter count making journey to invite reflection on Indigenous-Canadian relations in connection to education and shifting learning contexts. I build on my practice of artivism to decolonize curriculum by incorporating Indigenous métissage. The resulting artivist métissage offers a set of possibilities for learning from and with Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing in an embodied way informed by an artful and relational stance. This approach is tied to an ecological understanding of imagination as inclusive and interconnected with human and non-human relations. Attentive to the risk of appropriation of Indigenous ways of knowing by non-Indigenous people, it offers educators and students, including pre-service teachers, entry points for thoughtful learning from and with Indigenous teachings. The paper concludes with considerations for thoughtfully incorporating the winter count tradition into educational contexts.
Par le biais d'une réflexion critique et créative, j'examine ce que signifie être une personne issue d'un traité dans ce qu'on appelle le Canada, du point de vue d'un éducateur issu de la colonisation. Je me concentre sur le calendrier pictographique, une pratique traditionnelle des nations Lakota (Sioux), Blackfoot, Kiowa et Mandan des Prairies, qui consiste à créer des symboles et à les utiliser pour rappeler des événements importants. Je parle de mon propre voyage de fabrication de calendriers pictographiques pour inviter à la réflexion sur les relations autochtones-canadiennes en rapport avec l'éducation et les contextes d'apprentissage changeants. Je m'appuie sur ma pratique de l'artivisme pour décoloniser le programme d'études en y intégrant le métissage autochtone. Le métissage artiviste qui en résulte offre un ensemble de possibilités d'apprentissage à partir et avec les savoirs et les modes de connaissance autochtones, d'une manière incarnée et informée par une position artistique et relationnelle. Cette approche est liée à une compréhension écologique de l'imagination comme étant inclusive et interconnectée avec les relations humaines et non-humaines. Attentive au risque d'appropriation des modes de connaissance autochtones par les non- autochtones, elle offre aux éducateurs et aux étudiants, y compris aux enseignants en formation, des points d'entrée pour un apprentissage réfléchi à partir des enseignements autochtones et avec eux. L'article se termine par des considérations sur l'intégration réfléchie de la tradition du calendrier pictographique dans les contextes éducatifs.
The Self Who Meets the Other: Deconstructing the “Well-Intentioned” Researcher Through an Ethic of Hospitality
Authors: Heringer Rebeca
Published: July 2024

The pursuit of anti-oppressive, cross-racial research has become ubiquitous in educational settings. Although some attention has been given to the complexities such an endeavor involves, more intricate and profound aspects that undergird such projects are revealed when examined through the lens of an ethic of hospitality. Based on a case-study focused on the experiences of Black refugee students in Manitoba, this article deconstructs the research journal that I kept throughout that project. Four overarching and intertwined themes are evidenced and discussed: the methodological decisions I had to make along the study, personal ambivalences experienced, feelings of powerlessness, and the (explicit) implications of my White identity. As such, the research journal here analyzed not only reveals the aporetic nature of hospitality but also several ethical complexities involved in the pursuit of hospitable, anti-oppressive research in a cross-racial setting, which have not received enough attention in current literature.
La recherche anti-oppressive et interraciale est devenue omniprésente dans les milieux éducatifs. Bien qu'une certaine attention ait été accordée aux complexités qu'une telle entreprise implique, des aspects plus complexes et plus profonds qui sous-tendent de tels projets sont révélés lorsqu'ils sont examinés à travers le prisme d'une éthique de l'hospitalité. Basé sur une étude de cas centrée sur les expériences d'étudiants réfugiés noirs au Manitoba, cet article déconstruit le journal de recherche que j'ai tenu tout au long de ce projet. Quatre thèmes primordiaux et entrelacés sont mis en évidence et discutés : les décisions méthodologiques que j'ai dû prendre tout au long de l'étude, les ambivalences personnelles vécues, les sentiments d'impuissance et les implications (explicites) de mon identité blanche. Ainsi, le journal de recherche analysé ici révèle non seulement la nature aporétique de l'hospitalité, mais aussi plusieurs complexités éthiques liées à la poursuite d'une recherche hospitalière et anti-oppressive dans un contexte interracial, qui n'ont pas fait l'objet d'une attention suffisante dans la littérature actuelle.

Published: July 2024

يأتي هذا البحث ليتناول أسس البناء العقدي للاقتصاد الإسلامي المتعلقة بالإنسان وأثرها في تنمية الاقتصاد وازدهاره؛ للمساهمة في دعم الاقتصاد الإسلامي، والمكتبة الإسلامية، ولتعريف المسلمين بالأسس العقدية التي قام عليها اقتصاد حضارتهم التي أذهلت الدنيا. وقد قام على مناهج ثلاثة: الاستقرائي، والتحليلي، والاستنباطي. ومن نتائجه: أن العقيدة الإسلامية هي الأساس في قيام الاقتصاد الإسلامي، وأن أسس البناء العقدي للاقتصاد الإسلامي المتعلقة بالإنسان لها آثار عظيمة في تنميته وازدهاره؛ لأنها: ترسخ في المسلم قيمة المسؤولية، فهو مؤتمن على المال، وهو في حيازته كالوديعة، ويجب أن يتحرى فيه الحلال والحرام، وأن يستثمره فيما يعود بالنفع عليه وعلى المجتمع. وتدفعه إلى مداومة العمل والإنتاج؛ لعمارة الأرض. وتغرس فيه الإيمان بوفرة النعم وكفايتها للناس جميعا، والثقة والأمل وحب العمل، وتدفع عنه اليأس أو الإحباط. وتغرس فيه قيم المنافسة الاقتصادية الشريفة، وتحصنه من الحزن على الماضي أو القلق على المستقبل. وتوجب عليه التحلي بالأخلاق الحسنة والتخلي عن الأخلاق السيئة في كل معاملاته، وتجعل ذلك جزءا من إيمانه. كما أنها تنظم حركة الاقتصاد، وتؤكد توازنه في إشباع الحاجات المادية والروحية، ثم هي صَمَّام الأمان الذي يحفظ للمسلم توازنه النفسي والصحي ضد الكوارث وتقلبات الزمان. ومن شأن هذا كله أن يحرك عجلة التنمية ويرفع جودة النشاط الاقتصادي.

Strategies of Translating Euphemistic Expressions from Arabic into English: A Comparative Study of Artificial Intelligence Models with Human Translation
Authors: Al-Wasy Baleigh Qassim , Mohammed Othman Saleh Mahdy
Published: July 2024

Euphemism is used to soften rude expressions or words. Translating euphemisms is a very challenging task for human translators and will be more difficult for AI applications. Almost all previous studies have clustered around studying the efficiency, accuracy, coherence and cohesion of AI translation in comparison to human translation. However, these studies have not tackled the strategies used in both types of translations. Consequently, this study aims to identify the strategies utilized by AI Models with human translation when translating euphemistic expressions from Arabic into English. Additionally, it aims to evaluate how these methods influence the translation accuracy of both human translators and AI models in both directions of translation (Arabic to English and English to Arabic). The researchers have utilized some euphemistic expressions taken from the Holy Quran, Prophetic Hadiths, and some previous studies. These expressions have been inputted into AI models. The outcomes of these AI models are compared to Human translation, using Baker’s (2013) translation strategies. Researchers have analysed the collected data quantitatively. The results revealed that translation by a more general word and translation by cultural substitution strategies were mostly used by human translation whereas translation using a loan word strategy is mostly used by AI models. The findings also showed that human translators outperform AI models regarding cultural substitution. It has been found that the direction of language plays a crucial role in AI outcomes, as they perform better when translating from English into Arabic.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan kajian analisis mengenai halal lifestyle dalam memerangi Islamophobia. Islamophobia merupakan sebuah fenomena global yang terjadi akibat munculnya rasa takut secara berlebihan terkait segala sesuatu tentang Islam. Islam dianggap sebagai agama yang keras, yang menjadi sumber munculnya aksi terorisme, dan akhirnya dianggap sebagai ancaman serius bagi perdamaian dunia. Padahal Islam sangat menganjurkan perdamaian yang memiliki prinsip pembebasan dari rasa takut, lapar, maupun ketidakamanan. Metodelogi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah pendekatan kualitatif yang bersifat library research terhadap literatur yang berkaitan dengan halal lifestyle dalam memerangi Islamophobia, lalu dianalisa secara empiris, dan kemudian disimpulkan. Maka hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa halal lifestyle memiliki peran penting dalam memerangi Islamophobia. Dengan jumlah muslim yang lebih dari 24% populasi dunia maka mereka bisa memberikan gambaran wajah Islam yang seutuhnya dari penerapan halal lifestyle. Untuk menunjukkan pada dunia bahwa fitrahnya seorang muslim itu memiliki sikap yang lemah lembut, penuh kasih, dan bertutur santun. Maka, jika kita dapat menunjukkan nilai-nilai ini kepada masyarakat global secara teratur, kebencian mereka terhadap Islam akan berkurang.

Shaping Radiation with Line Source Antenna for Ramp Pattern Generation
Authors: Ravindranath. J.
Published: July 2024

Array antennas are essential in communication technology because they can produce focused beams of electromagnetic radiation that can be precisely shaped and directed for various applications. These antennas typically generate a radiation pattern with a primary lobe, the main beam, accompanied by smaller minor lobes. The size and distribution of these lobes depend on the array's design and configuration. For large array antennas, the main beam becomes extremely narrow, enabling precise point-to-point communication over long distances. This precision is especially beneficial for applications requiring accurate targeting or transmission to specific locations. However, achieving such optimized performance requires careful design and engineering. This study, builds on Woodward's amplitude control method, initially developed for generating sector beams, to create ramp patterns with unique applications in antenna engineering. By adjusting the amplitudes of the signals fed into each element of the array, the researchers can shape the resulting radiation pattern to meet specific requirements. The paper provides detailed analysis and computational data demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach in achieving the desired beam patterns. These results offer valuable insights into antenna design and optimization, potentially advancements in wireless communication, radar systems, and satellite communication.

Anatomic adaptation of stems of aquatic Utricularia species dragging turions to the bottom of their habitats
Authors: Adamec Lubomir , Sehadova Hana , Dolezal Jiri , Jandova Veronika
Published: July 2024

Turions are vegetative, dormant, overwintering storage organs formed in aquatic plants. We have observed that shoots with maturating turions of three robust aquatic Utricularia species possess an anatomical adaptation of the central cylinder in apical shoot segments. The senescent mother shoots drag turions in these species to the bottom of their habitat. This adaptation leads to impregnation of the central cylinder by substances preventing the stems from early decomposing. Using anatomical staining methods, we have aimed to elucidate the substances impregnating the central cylinder - partly lignin and mainly polyphenols.

Agriculture and food security are two important aspects in state development, which do not only focus on meeting people's food needs, but also on improving the welfare of the main actors, namely farmers. To optimize these two aspects, the Indonesian government issued Law no. 18 of 2012 concerning Food. This law provides the legal basis for implementing policies aimed at improving food security and farmer welfare. Food is one of the places to develop District Government Policy in supporting food availability, and what innovations have been implemented by the Kedung Dalem Village government in advancing the food sector in its village.

Dijitalleşen dünyada teknolojinin hızla değişmesi ve gelişmesi nedeniyle, işletmelerin değişime ayak uydurması ve yeni teknolojilere hızlı bir şekilde entegre olması mutlak bir zorunluluk haline gelmiştir. Bu bağlamda, robotik süreç otomasyonu (RSO) ve büyük veri analitiği gibi teknolojiler, işletmeler için fırsat niteliğindedir. RSO, tekrar eden ve kurallı iş süreçlerini otomatikleştiren yazılım robotlarıyla çalışırken, büyük veri analitiği, büyük ölçekli verilerin analiz edilerek karar süreçlerinde kullanılabilecek değerli bilgilere dönüştürülmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu teknolojilerin entegrasyonu, işletmelere veri yönetiminde etkinlik, optimize edilebilir süreçler, hataların minimize edilmesi, bilgiye dayalı karar alma ve insan kaynağının etkin kullanılması fırsatlarını sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bir telekomünikasyon işletmesinde, müşteri şikayetleri çerçevesinde elde edilen verilerin SQL ile analiz edilmesi ve servis bazlı hata adedinin hesaplanarak, ilgili ekibe elektronik posta aracılığı ile iletilmesi konusunda RSO teknolojisi kullanılmış ve hata oranının beklenen değerin üzerinde olması durumunda, bir uyarı sistemi oluşturulmuştur. Sonuç olarak bu çalışmada, büyük veri ve robotik süreç otomasyonunun entegrasyonu ile iş süreçlerinde verimlilik artışı, hızlı hata tespiti, potansiyel hataların oluşmadan önlenmesi, zaman tasarrufu, müşteri memnuniyeti ve insan kaynağının değer yaratacak işlere yönlendirilmesi gibi faydalar sağlanabileceği gösterilmiştir.
Transnational intra-party dynamics on European democratic reforms
Authors: Ferreira Diogo
Published: July 2024

One of the core elements of the European Union's (EU) democratic deficit is the lack of a genuine supranational political competition. Some processes were intended to mitigate these effects, such as the introduction of the Spitzenkandidaten (SK) and the possibility of creating Transnational Lists (TL) for European Parliament (EP) elections. These processes would be accompanied by a strengthening of the role of the European political parties (henceforth, Europarties) as the only transnational party federations capable of mobilising their national members in decisions beyond the EP. Europarties would thus be able to promote transnational candidates to the European institutions and become true political parties at the EU-level. However, Europarties are heterogeneous organisations of national parties, where ideological dynamics of these transnational parties can be subject to party dissidence, with differentiated positions on European democracy during EU elections. By adopting a principal-agent model of party organisation, the aim of this research is to analyse what effects did Europarty internal dynamics have had on the creation of a common position on the SK and TL. Based on evidence from Europarties, we suggest that supranational intra-party dissidence is low regarding EU democratic reforms.

El Derecho a la Protección de Datos y el Avance de las Nuevas Tecnologías en Ecuador: Implicaciones Legales y Éticas
Authors: Barahona-Martinez Gipson Emilio , Barzola-Plúas Yorly Geomar , Peñafiel-Muñoz Leticia Vanessa
Published: July 2024

El derecho de mantener en reserva la información personal y el avance tecnológico en Ecuador plantean desafíos legales y éticos. Si bien la Constitución y la Ley Orgánica de Protección de Datos Personales reconocen este derecho, su efectividad se dificulta ante la ausencia de una cultura de privacidad, las limitaciones institucionales y la evolución tecnológica. Lograr el balance entre la protección de los datos y el aprovechamiento de las oportunidades de los avances tecnológicos como el Big Data, la inteligencia artificial (IA) y la Internet de las Cosas (IOT); aunque representan riesgos de privacidad y seguridad. A nivel ético, el principio de autodeterminación informativa debe permitir a las personas controlar sus datos, además se deben establecer mecanismos de responsabilidad y transparencia para las entidades que los gestionan, evaluando también la perpetuación de sesgos y discriminaciones en el uso de la IA. Por ello, Ecuador debe fortalecer sus capacidades técnicas y operativas, concienciar sobre la relevancia de la reserva de los datos, la instrucción de estructuras de gobernanza y rendición de cuentas que aseguren la utilización ética y responsable de los avances tecnológicos, salvaguardando los derechos fundamentales de los ciudadanos.

Se aborda la importancia de las estrategias de inclusión en la economía del conocimiento para mejorar la calidad de vida de las poblaciones vulnerables. Se enfatiza la necesidad de un enfoque multifacético que abarque desde la educación hasta el empleo, integrando tecnologías avanzadas y políticas gubernamentales coordinadas. Se adoptó un enfoque cualitativo mediante una revisión bibliográfica exhaustiva, seleccionando fuentes académicas y reportes de organismos internacionales para evaluar las estrategias de inclusión existentes. Los resultados revelaron avances significativos en políticas educativas inclusivas y en la implementación de tecnologías para mejorar el acceso y la personalización del aprendizaje. Sin embargo, se identificaron desafíos importantes como la brecha digital y la falta de recursos que limitan la inclusión efectiva en sectores económicos clave. La discusión subrayó la brecha entre la formulación de políticas y su implementación efectiva. El análisis concluyó que, para avanzar hacia una sociedad más inclusiva y equitativa, es fundamental fortalecer la implementación de políticas inclusivas y fomentar la colaboración entre el gobierno, el sector privado y la sociedad civil. La inclusión no solo promueve la justicia social, sino que es clave para el desarrollo sostenible y el bienestar económico global.

La integración de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en la enseñanza de las ciencias sociales en la educación superior se ha vuelto un tema crucial debido a la rápida evolución tecnológica y el acceso a herramientas digitales, que permiten un aprendizaje más personalizado y efectivo. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las tendencias, oportunidades y desafíos de la IA en este contexto. Metodológicamente, se realizó una revisión exhaustiva de artículos de la base de datos Scopus del año 2024, seleccionando 436 artículos relevantes que fueron analizados cualitativa y cuantitativamente. Los resultados indican que el 58.3% de las publicaciones son artículos científicos, seguidos por actas de conferencias y revisiones, lo que subraya la preferencia por la validación y replicabilidad en la diseminación del conocimiento. La discusión revela que, a pesar del potencial de la IA para personalizar la educación y automatizar tareas administrativas, existen barreras significativas como la falta de infraestructura tecnológica adecuada y la resistencia al cambio entre los educadores. Finalmente, se concluye que, para una adopción efectiva de la IA en la educación superior, es esencial invertir en infraestructura, capacitar a los docentes y desarrollar marcos éticos y regulatorios robustos que garanticen la equidad y privacidad de los datos estudiantiles.

Published: July 2024

This study investigates how students' attitudes regarding gender roles, academic success in STEM disciplines, and involvement in gender-related activism are affected by the inclusion of gender in development courses. In order to provide a thorough understanding of the consequences of gender integration, the study uses a mixed-methods research design that draws on feminist theory, social learning theory, and critical pedagogy. While qualitative analysis focuses on students' participation in gender-related activity, quantitative analysis looks at changes in students' perceptions toward gender roles and academic success in STEM disciplines. The results demonstrate the beneficial effects of gender integration on students' perceptions of gender roles, with inclusive curricula challenging prevailing prejudices and enabling learners to adopt more equitable viewpoints. Students are shown to be motivated to participate in gender-related activities by gender integration. An inclusive curriculum encourages active engagement and helps to bring about social change through bringing attention to issues, advancing social justice, and giving students the tools they need to confront gender inequality. Overall, this study emphasizes how important it is to integrate gender perspectives into the classroom in order to establish welcoming and equal learning environments. The findings underscore the necessity to include gender-related concerns in educational policies and practices and add to the body of research on gender integration. Society may work toward gender equality and enable people to be change agents by adopting inclusive education.
