Authors: Motadayen Mahboubeh , Devabharathi Nehru , Agarwala Shweta
Published: July 2024

The pressing need for sustainable materials and devices stems from growing environmental concerns and the imperative to mitigate climate change. Traditional materials and devices often rely on non-renewable resources and generate significant waste and pollution throughout their lifecycle. By prioritizing sustainability in material and device design, we can foster innovation, promote circular economies, and build a greener future for generations to come. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can analyze vast datasets to identify novel materials with desirable properties by reducing the experimental workload. In this paper, we explore the synergistic relationship between sustainable materials discovery and ML models. By leveraging advanced algorithms, researchers can efficiently explore vast chemical spaces to identify environmentally friendly materials with tailored properties. ML techniques, including predictive modeling and generative models, facilitate the rapid discovery and optimization of sustainable materials for various applications, ranging from renewable energy technologies to eco-friendly consumer products. We present a landscape view of the field with a focus on the most recent developments, focusing mainly on transitory materials such as metals, polymers, and semiconducting materials. Furthermore, classification and regression techniques to model the degradation behavior of polymers have been addressed, pointing to key challenges and proposing solutions for enhanced ML applications. The paper discusses the challenges of scaling up data-driven technologies from small molecules to polymers, underscoring AI’s role in discovering new molecular designs and optimizing existing ones for novel applications. It emphasizes the importance of defining and standardizing polymer systems to enable ML models to create a unified data collection system for AI and automation enhancements. Furthermore, it stresses the necessity of refining ML methods to harness the benefits of data-driven polymer chemistry fully, emphasizing the importance of reliable and diverse datasets for predictive models in polymer synthesis.
The Instrumentalization of Cultural Heritage in Ceausescu’s Romania
Authors: Rus Alin
Published: July 2024

This article analyzes the heritagisation policies and the instrumentalization of cultural heritage by Ceausescu's regime for political purposes. I argue that Ceausescu’s political regime was neopatrimonial, a system where rules took place within the framework of legal bureaucracy of a modern state in which formal structures and rules did exist, although in practice, the separation of the private and public sphere was not always observed. This system was characterized by insecurity about the behavior and role of state institutions, but primarily the actions of the supreme leader that were erratic and unpredictable. In this regime, the rural cultural heritage was used for political-ideological purposes, in close connection with the cult of the personality of the supreme leader. In this context, the heritigisation of folk creations such as folk plays did not mean the preservation of these rural cultural forms under threat in a society undergoing major economic and social transformations that imperiled traditional community life. Instead, it was a form of symbolic political manipulation used to acquire political legitimacy.

Authors: Gaciyubwenge Egide , Burny Philippe , Bitama Pierre Clave
Published: July 2024

Mining activities create positive links with agriculture. They are also characterized by uprooting of agricultural land and labour, and water pollution. The objective of this paper is to characterize mining activities and their links with the livelihoods of rural household. A survey with 140 households, interviews and observations were conducted in July and August 2022 in Mabayi commune, on Gahoma and Ruhororo hills, where the Russian mining company ‘Tanganyika Mining Burundi-TMB’ and the local mining cooperative Dukorere Hamwe Dusoze Ikivi-DHDI were carrying out their activities respectively, since December 2018. The results showed that TMB and DHDI inject money into the local economy, and strengthen social ties by creating farmers and mutual aid’s associations/cooperatives. They are also characterized by competition in land and labour markets, environmental degradation, rising food and arable land prices, and corruption in the compensation awarding process. DHDI absorbs considerably local labour force and improves social infrastructure, unlike TMB.  Although it is characterized by survival mining activities which are dangerous to health and live of employees, DHDI contributes positively to agricultural production, whereas TMB contributes negatively to agricultural production, despite having sufficient capacity and skills to improve performance and ensure the safety of its employees.

The Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) in Peru provides data on fertility and health. The ENDES 2020 report, based on 35,847 surveyed households, undergoes descriptive statistical analysis with the aim of identifying patterns to enhance social conditions. Techniques such as Fuzzy C-Means and Latent Classes, previously applied in various contexts, are employed. Correlation analysis using the R polycor package highlights significant relationships, leading to the exclusion of certain numeric variables in fuzzy clustering due to strong correlations. Random sampling is applied to address the data volume. Three clusters are determined through kmeans clustering, silhouette, Elbow, and Clara methods, assessing their fuzziness with the Dunn's Fuzziness Coefficient. Pattern identification reveals significant differences in family relationships, gender, education, and health insurance among the clusters. The widespread lack of health insurance, particularly ESSALUD/IPSS, stands out as a common issue. Fuzzy clustering and latent class analysis techniques provide groupings with variations in sizes and compositions.

Risks of Overstressing Corruption: The Case of Ukraine
Authors: Dandolov Philip
Published: July 2024

This paper has as its reference point the issue of corruption in Ukraine, which has recently once again become the subject of attention due to reports that it may be an important factor when it comes to the recalcitrance of some of Ukraine’s Western partners and allies with regard to offering military support for the country’s war effort against Russia. The main objective is to demonstrate how the West’s tendency to overstress this problem, for which the paper offers proof, that could manifest itself in it applying undue pressure on the Ukrainian authorities, entails risks and may have a number of undesirable repercussions due to 1) providing fuel to Russian disinformation campaigns and negatively affecting the perceptions of Ukraine among Western citizens, 2) hampering the Ukrainian military campaign and its appraisal abroad, 3) indirectly contributing to changing the nature of Ukrainian nationalism by making it more exclusionary.

Published: July 2024

This paper evaluated the influence of contractors’ selection attributes on public construction project performance in Kenya. This research contends that an investigation into contractors’ selection attributes at the tender evaluation stage is important to enhance the likelihood of public construction project success performance. The study used a survey method and administered questionnaires to 263 respondents selected through stratified sampling. One hundred and eighty-nine (189) practitioners and professionals in state agencies returned filed questionnaires representing a 71.86% return rate. The literature review and interview reveal thirteen contractor selection variables and six project performance criteria. SPSS was used to analyse the data set obtained for reliability, normality, correlation, and logit regression test. Logit regression analysis reveals the omnibus test of model coefficients converged (Chi-square=26.116, df=13, p=0.016). The model summary reveals Nagelkerke R^2 of 0.246 indicating a relationship of 24.6% between the thirteen predictor variables and project performance indicators. It was found that contractors quoted tender price (Exp (B) = 1.866), innovation (Exp (B) = 2.808), and occupation health and safety (Exp (B) = 0.358) significantly influence the performance of public construction projects when all other contractor's selection variables are controlled. This indicates that the contractor’s quoted tender price, innovation, and occupation health and safety explain well the success of the public construction project from thea six (performance by budget, time, procuring entity satisfaction, environmental sustainability, quality specifications, and fulfilling public need) project performance indicators

The study aims to explain the extent of the role of constructs that arise from factor analysis conducted by researchers on some of the lowest factors or constructs. Factor analysis is an initial that can be identified from several variables that are grouped into higher factors so that they are referred to as second order factors. This research is a research with the latest reference-based literature review approach from research methodology books. The second order factor allows researchers to simplify a model by combining several interrelated constructs. These variables are complex to be understood by the researcher and make interpretations of the analyzed results. In contrast to the first order factor, the construct that arises from the collection of variables is then measured and identified as the lowest factor in the level of factor hierarchy from the analysis.

This research delves into the impact of incorporating Wordwall as a learning tool on the academic performance of students. The study aims to investigate whether the utilization of Wordwall can significantly enhance students' learning outcomes, shedding light on its effectiveness in the contemporary educational landscape. Employing an experimental research design, specifically Quasi Experimental Design with the Nonequivalent Control Group Design model, the research focuses on two variables: the independent variable, Wordwall as a learning medium, and the dependent variable, learning outcomes of grade XI Light Vehicle Engineering students at SMK Karsa Mulya Palangka Raya. The study population encompasses 51 students from classes XI A and B. Nonprobability sampling, using a saturated technique, results in 25 students for the experimental class and 26 for the control class. The research instrument comprises a 44-item learning outcomes test. Data analysis reveals a substantial difference in the average scores for learning outcomes between the experimental (78.24) and control (64.58) groups, with a margin of 13.44. The t-test yields a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, below 0.05, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). This analysis underscores that the effective implementation of Wordwall as a learning medium significantly improves students' outcomes in light vehicle chassis maintenance and powertrain, surpassing traditional lecture-based models.

The purpose of the study was the comparison of the contact tightness of the restored proximal area of lateral teeth with celluloid and metallic matrices and a bulk polymer-based biomaterial using an original in vitro assessing method.In 300 plastic right upper molars, mesial and distal vertical boxes (4 mm width in all directions) were prepared. 150 teeth were restored using circumferential celluloid bands and the rest were restored with sectional metallic saddle bands with the same thickness. The mesial/distal contact tightness was measured, before preparations and after restorations using dental floss and an original system consisting in a dynamometer connected to the model fixed on a plate that could slide gravitationally on vertical metallic rails actioned by a mass of 850 g attached with a string. The passing through force was recorded. For the mesial surfaces, the force varied from 4.782 � 0.014 N (sound) to 5.086 � 0.011 N (restored) (p [ 0.05) for circumferential celluloid matrix while for the sectional metallic matrix, the values varied from 4.787 � 0.016 N (sound) to 5.596 � 0.01 N (restored) (p [ 0.05). For the distal surfaces, the force varied from 5.589 � 0.01 N (sound) to 4.777 � 0.011 N (restored) (p [ 0.05) for circumferential celluloid matrix while, for the sectional metallic matrix, the values varied from 5.586 � 0.012 N (sound) to 5.793 � 0.015 N (restored) (p [ 0.05). Comparing to the sound surfaces, the bulk polymer-based material with high consistency and the circumferential celluloid matrices generated poorer distal and slightly stronger mesial contact area tightness while the sectional metallic ones drove to stronger mesial and distal contacts. However, the celluloid bands are often preferred because they allow the photopolymerization process and permit a good visual control during most of the steps of the working protocol.

Authors: Kim Sang Geun , Kang Myeong Gil ,   Korea Real Estate Society
Published: July 2024

In this study, government policies and local government policies were identified, focusing on the biggest factors of population movement, and solutions were sought through problems. Through prior research, the problems of government policies and projects related to the most influential factors, ‘economic problems’, were classified into four main categories: uniform budget investment, abstract policies and regulations, misuse of local extinction response funds, unrealistic regulations on local specialized visas, and the operation of the Special Act on Support for Population Reduction Areas. Based on this, four measures to respond to local extinction reflecting the projects and policies of Jangsu-gun were proposed: improvement of local-specific visas, support for settlement of long-term returning home and the elderly, establishment of unified youth standards in the province, and creation of a long-term living population start-up camp. There is a desperate need for policies and alternatives that can be implemented in small local governments, which are areas with reduced population, and practical measures that can be sustainable for current projects and policies were prepared. In the era of local extinction, a detailed tweezers policy that will overcome the decline and crisis of existence of the local economy due to population decline is presented as a ‘long-lived model’.

This study is focused on the procedure of verbsâ€™ translation in English (source language) into Indonesian language (target language), and how the mapping of action verb meanings in the procedural text. The research uses qualitative method, employing a cooking book recipe â€œStep by Step Cooking Balinese Delightful for Everydayâ€ as its data source and its Indonesian translation. The theory used in this research is the theory of Vinay and Darbelnet (in Venuti, 2000) about translation procedures that include borrowing, calque, literal translation, transposition, modulation, equivalence, and adaptation. The theory of applying the natural semantic metalanguage approach (NSM) proposed by Wierzbicka (1996) is used to discuss the mapping of English action verbs. The theory is applied in order to explain how the Indonesian action verb meanings are mapped into English, with the exponential mapping technique. The description of the mapping meanings including the exponential mapping to the action verb of the Indonesian language has produced a new dimension. This new dimension turns out to be able to explore the meaning of the lexical item including the one that has even a subtle difference, therefore there is no more swirling of meaning.

Collective (Non-)Memory of the Iran-Iraq War and Sectarian Thinking among Veterans-Turned-Shi'i Militia Fighters
Authors: Saramifar Younes
Published: July 2024

This article redefines sectarianism as sectarian thinking via an ethnography of Shi'i militia fighters in Iraq and their relationships with the past. I explain this redefinition by tracing memories and histories that motivated Iraqi Shi'i veterans of the IranIraq War to
join the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). Accordingly, I argue that everyday sectarian thinking in Iraq is less ideologically grounded than commonly presumed and rather feeds on memories, histories, and socialization in violence. I highlight how acts of non-remembrance and a lack of engagement
with memories of the Iran-Iraq War fuel sectarian thinking and justify sectarian inhumanities.
Problematic Archives: Documentary Knowledge of Modern Iraq between Ex- and Repatriation
Authors: Wien Peter
Published: July 2024

The transfer of Iraq's Ba'th Party archives to the United States in the wake of the 2003 invasion triggered an ongoing debate about patrimony and the legality of the removal of government documents in military conflict. However, the appropriation of Iraq's archival heritage did not
start in 2003 and does not concern international law only. Parallel to debates over restoring artifacts in Western museums to the global South, this article argues in favor of granting control of these documents to the people of Iraq. Such access would grant them the sovereignty that comes
with the writing of their own history and the creation of their own archives.
The Iraq War as a War over the Meaning of Europe
Authors: Woertz Eckart , Tannous Manon-Nour , Rohde Achim
Published: July 2024

The Iraq War of 2003–11 has been described as a conflict over the meaning of Europe and between the conflicting goals of cementing the transatlantic relationship with the United States and advancing a more independent, "Carolingian" vision of the continent on the world stage.
This article employs the analytical lens of foreign policy role conceptions, drawing from French and German policy literature, newly available archival evidence, and interviews with more than 20 diplomats, politicians, and civil servants active during the 2003 invasion. We argue that the war
itself and the agency of Iraqis played a limited role in European powers' jockeying for position, which was instead determined by these countries' relationships with the US and the role of the United Nations. This was the case even for France and Germany, which had extensive interest in Iraq
in the decades preceding the invasion. If the Iraq War was one over the meaning of Europe, the debate around and the execution of the invasion highlighted the continued importance of a US-led NATO for defining such meaning.
