The Phenomenon of Measuring Space and Time in the Novels by Daniel Kehlmann “Measuring The World” and Christoph Ransmayr, “Cox, or The Flight of Time”
Authors:   Samara National Research University, Kuchumova Galina V.
Published: December 2024

In the comparative field of research, the contemporary Austrian novels “Measuring the World” by Daniel Kehlmann and “Cox, or the Flight of Time” by Christoph Ransmayr, interpreting the idea of the measurability of space and time, are considered. The object of the study is the phenomenon of measuring the physical and existential space and time of human life. The relevance of the research is determined by the specifics of the sociocultural situation of the 21st century with its blurred geographical and ontologically uncertain time boundaries. There is a need to return “back to reality”, to measure it again in Cartesian coordinates. Austrian authors in a dialogue with the values and achievements of the culture of Modern times and the Enlightenment, ask the question: how applicable to the dynamic space of human life are Cartesian coordinates defining the universal space of calculability and measurability? D. Kehlmann introduces the archetypal figure of the surveyor into the narrative, designating the strategy of “measuring the world” as a way of rational knowledge of the world. His novel characters — the “world measurers” Alexander Humboldt and Karl Gauss in their attempts to measure the world come to the conclusion that it is unknowable and immeasurable. In Ransmayr’s novel the idea of the measurability of time is revealed in the dialogue of two archetypal figures: a master watchmaker and a watch collector. The image of the clockwork mechanism in the novel allows you to designate the subject, bring it into the historical space of memory. Both authors point to the danger of building a digital foundation of modern information culture when a real person is excluded from the process of measuring / cognizing the world.
Memories of Russia in the Novel „Tumult“ by H. M. Enzensberger
Authors:   Togliatti State University, Andreiushkina Tatiana N.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to memories of Russia in the novel „Tumult“ (2014) by a German poet, writer and translator H. M. Enzensberger, whо presents cultural life in Russia in the 1960s. In his novel, the author describes the events which he took part in: the International Writers’ Forum in Leningrad, the Peace Congress in Azerbaijan, the meeting of writers with N. S. Khrushchev, trips to M. Aliger’s dacha in Peredelkino, communication with E. Yevtushenko, L. Ginzburg and other writers, poets and translators. The study established that Enzensberger, who wrote a dissertation on the poetry of the German romanticist C. Brentano, relies on the traditions of the romantic novel, which was an example of universal poetry, including philosophy and rhetoric, poetry and prose, the sublime and the low. Similarly, Enzensberger’s novel, conceived as a documentary novel about events in Germany in the 1960s, includes philosophical reflections on time, reports of political events, diary entries and lyrical texts that allow us to expand the horizons of the epic narrative. One of the objectives of the article, therefore, was to determine the role of lyrical texts in Enzensberger’s collage novel. Using comparative historical, biographical and linguistic stylistic methods, the article analyzes Enzensberger’s poems of the 1960s, which introduce a subjective and lyrical note into the historical events of the turning point of the 1960s described in the novel.
Problems of Post-Migration in Modern German Literature
Authors:   Russian Christian Humanitarian Academy, Gaevskaya Nadiezhda Z. , Kudryavtseva Tamara V. ,   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2024

The author examines the volume „Literatur der (Post-) Migration. Komplexitäts- und Identitätsfragen der deutschsprachigen Literatur im globalisierten Zeitalter“, published in 2023 by a research team led by Susanna Regazzoni at the University of Ca’ Foscari in Italy. The volume is based on articles by contemporary researchers of German literature on migration, who study the topic in the context of global issues. Philologists carry out a scholarly search for aesthetic possibilities and philosophical meanings that go beyond linguistic and geographical boundaries. German scholars are united in their observation of the nature of literature written after migration. These are detailed linguistic studies and radical aesthetic experiments that raise questions about our cultural reality and recreate a complex picture of the world and society.
Revisão sistemática sobre painéis de visualização de dados educacionais
Authors: Santos Tony Carlos Bignardi dos , Perry Gabriela Trindade
Published: December 2024

Um painel de visualizações de dados educacionais se utiliza dos dados gerados nas plataformas online de aprendizagem e os organiza em indicadores gráficos, como dados de acesso, permanência, desempenho ou outros sinalizadores que possam informar aos estudantes, professores e gestores sobre o processo de aprendizagem, evolução e desempenho. Tais painéis podem ser ferramentas importantes em contextos de educação à distância, devido à grande quantidade de estudantes e à pouca interação entre a plataforma, os professores e os estudantes. A fim de explorar estes recursos, neste artigo foi feita uma revisão sistemática sobre este tema, com o objetivo de identificar tendências e lacunas em relação ao emprego destas ferramentas em plataformas de ensino online. A ausência de pesquisas sobre a utilização de painéis específicos para cursos massivos abertos online (Massive Open Online Course – MOOCs) e a comparação entre diferentes cursos foram constatados neste estudo.
REVELANDO AS COALIZÕES DE ACIONISTAS NO BRASIL
Authors: Consoni Silvia , Colauto Romualdo Douglas
Published: December 2024

A formação de coalizão de acionistas nem sempre é notada, e, por isso, os acordos de acionistas podem facilitar a identificação direta desse fenômeno. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar tais acordos para identificar e caracterizar as coalizões no mercado de capitais brasileiro. Foram examinados 949 acordos de acionistas, distribuídos em 382 empresas, tanto com registro ativo quanto cancelado, abrangendo o período de 1979 a 2019. A análise destaca duas principais formas de coalizões: as de controle, que buscam consolidar o poder de voto entre diversos blockholders, e as de entendimento mútuo, que unem o blockholder controlador e o acionista minoritário em torno de interesses comuns, permitindo que o acionista minoritário cooperante mantenha mecanismos de monitoramento ativo sobre a gestão. Além dos objetivos, essas coalizões diferem em aspectos como o número de acionistas envolvidos, a identidade das partes cooperantes e os direitos de controle que concentram. Esses resultados podem contribuir para pesquisas futuras sobre governança corporativa e a alocação do controle corporativo, temas relevantes para os agentes de mercado.

Published: December 2024

In Southeast Asia, the collaborative management system within government managed protected areas is one of the least well understood fields of protected area management. The large scale of these natural landscapes, the diversity of management issues found within them, and the diversity of actors to be engaged at the different administrative levels make the mechanisms for implementing effective collaborative management unclear. In December 2022, the authors used the IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas Standard (IUCN Green List Standard), which comprises a set of 17 'Criteria' categorised under four 'Components', accompanied by 50 'Indicators', to conduct a gap analysis assessment in Nam Et-Phou Louey National Park, northern Lao PDR. This paper reviews the findings generated, focusing on 'Good Governance' under Component 1, which comprises three criteria and 16 indicators, focusing on how these actors are mobilised to assist the management of the national park. The application of the 16 indicators broke down the multi tiered institutional arrangements within Nam Et-Phou Louey National Park into the 'bite-sized' institutional bodies with management mandates within the different administrative levels, and then requested verification documentation to show that these institutional bodies were functional. The paper describes these institutional bodies identified within the multi-tiered collaborative management system of the national park, as well as the importance of the verification documents exchanged between them.
Safeguarding wildlife and human life: Rangers as first responders
Authors: Werner Kayla , Singh Rohit , Galliers Chris
Published: December 2024

Rangers' role as emergency first responders is becoming increasingly important in the face of escalating climaterelated natural disasters and extreme weather events. Drawing on a review of literature and data collected from surveys and focal group discussions, this study explores rangers' role as first responders in Asia. A total of 52 rangers from 12 countries were surveyed, revealing the diverse expectations, responsibilities and challenges rangers are facing. Of these, 59.6 per cent of rangers had experienced increased responsibilities during a disaster, including evacuations, rescue and recovery operations, and delivery of essential supplies like food and water. Despite their essential contributions, a majority (over 60 per cent) of rangers surveyed had not received training on first aid, flood response, emergency evacuation or disaster response. Although results varied by specific issue, overall findings indicate an urgent need for policy changes to professionalise the ranger workforce, improve training and access to resources, and establish institutional support systems for rangers. Highlighting rangers' contributions outside of conservation increases visibility of the unique value rangers add in other sectors like public health and safety.
The resilience of bird species in a Brazilian atlantic forest remnant in the face of accelerated extinctions in the neotropics
Authors: Cavarzere Vagner , Schunck Fabio , Mix Peter , Donatelli Reginaldo J.
Published: December 2024

The Caetetus Ecological Station is located in south-eastern Brazil. It is a unique protected area given it was set aside for preservation in the early 1930s, when all surrounding forests were clear-cut. Because the birds of this area have been inventoried on a number of occasions since the late 1970s, Caetetus represents a singular case study to evaluate how the bird communities have changed over time in a relatively small (2178 ha) but intact site. We searched the literature, ornithological platforms data and included our unpublished surveys to compile ornithological records. From the 184 species initially reported, all but two appear to be still present. Unlike other well-studied forest fragments in the Neotropics, where between 10-27 per cent of all forest bird species are suggested to have become locally extinct, Caetetus stands out as a notable exception. We suggest that, based on all available evidence for other similar forests, Caetetus' long-standing undisturbed status could be the main driver for this persistence of species. However, it is uncertain how bird species will be affected by fragmentation and species relaxation in the long term, and how they will respond to climate change. The ability to access citizen science records on public databases makes current and future tracking of species persistence much easier and more comprehensive.
How Index Fund Ownership and Earnings Guidance Frequency Influence Managerial Myopia
Authors: Gale Brian T. , Grant Stephanie M. , Kamrath Brad G. , Hodge Frank D.
Published: December 2024

Managerial myopia imposes significant costs on firms, stakeholders, and the overall economy. Research suggests that both a firm’s shareholder base and the frequency of its earnings guidance influence myopia. Shareholder bases have undergone significant changes in recent years as index fund ownership supplants long-term shareholder ownership, yet it is unclear how the growth of index funds affects managerial myopia. We experimentally examine how index fund ownership influences managers’ myopia, and how these effects vary based on firms’ earnings guidance frequency. Consistent with prior research, results show that the likelihood of myopic decision-making increases as earnings guidance frequency increases. Results also show that the likelihood of myopic decision-making increases as index funds replace long-term shareholders, but only for managers who provide frequent earnings guidance. Our results suggest that eliminating frequent earnings guidance to help curtail myopia may become even more important as index fund ownership grows and supplants long-term shareholder ownership.

Customer Shopping Behavior and the Persistence of Revenues and Earnings
Authors: Jin Hengda , Stubben Stephen R. , Ton Karen
Published: December 2024

Using GPS location data from customers’ mobile devices, we develop measures of customer shopping behavior intended to capture the likelihood that customers will shop again in the future, and we examine their associations with firms’ financial decisions and outcomes. We measure customers’ propensity to return using the frequency, distance, duration, and timing of their past visits to a firm’s retail locations. We find a positive association between customers’ propensity to return and the persistence of the firm’s revenues and earnings. We also find a positive association between customers’ propensity to return and the efficiency of investing and operating decisions among firms likely to incorporate customer data into their internal information systems. Our results illustrate conditions under which revenues and earnings are sustainable and when managerial decisions are consistent with insights provided by customer information.

Risk of Nephrolithiasis Associated With SGLT2 Inhibitors Versus DPP4 Inhibitors Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Target Trial Emulation Study
Authors: Shin Anna , Shin Ju-Young , Kang Eun Ha
Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE

We aim to compare the risk of nephrolithiasis among type 2 diabetes patients who initiated sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) versus dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4is), individually within stone never- and ever-formers.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Using the 2010–2021 Korea National Health Insurance Service database, we conducted a population-based cohort study, comparing initiators of SGLT2is versus DPP4is. The primary outcome was incident nephrolithiasis. Osteoarthritis encounters served as a negative control outcome. After 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching in stone never- and ever-formers, pooled and individual hazard ratios (HRs), incidence rate difference (IRD), and 95% CIs were reported. Subgroup analyses by sex, age, thiazide co-use, and baseline cardiovascular risk were done.

RESULTS

The 17,006 PS-matched pairs of SGLT2i and DPP4i initiators were pooled from stone never-formers (105,378 pairs) and ever-formers (11,628 pairs). Over a mean of 654 days, the risk of nephrolithiasis was lower in SGLT2i initiators than in DPP4i initiators: 0.65 vs. 1.12 events per 100 person-years, HR 0.54 (95% CI, 0.50–0.57), IRD −0.46 (95% CI, −0.21 to −0.52). Among never-formers, the HR was 0.43 (95% CI, 0.39–0.48) and IRD was −0.32 (95% CI, −0.27 to −0.36). Among ever-formers, the HR was 0.64 (95% CI, 0.59–0.69) and IRD was −2.26 (95% CI, −1.77 to −2.76). Near-null associations were found for osteoarthritis encounters. Results were consistent across subgroups.

CONCLUSIONS

We found a lower risk of nephrolithiasis associated with SGLT2is versus DPP4is in stone never- and ever-formers. Despite a greater relative risk reduction in the former, the absolute risk reduction was greater in the latter.
ESHO 2–85. Hyperthermia as an adjuvant to radiation therapy in the treatment of advanced neck nodes: A randomized multicenter study by the European Society for Hyperthermic Oncology
Authors: Overgaard Jens , Dahl Olav , Arcangeli Giorgio
Published: December 2024

Background and purpose: European Society for Hyperthermic Oncology (ESHO) 2–85 is a multicenter randomized trial investigating hyperthermia (HT) as an adjuvant to radiotherapy (RT) in treatment of locally advanced neck nodes. The trial never fulfilled recruitment and was stopped prematurely, and has not previously been published.
Patients and methods: Between January 1987 and February 1993, 64 evaluable neck nodes in 54 patients were included. Tumors were stratified according to institution and nodal size and randomly assigned to receive RT alone (2 Gy/fx, 5 fx/wk) to a total dose of 60–70 Gy, including boost, or the same RT followed once weekly by HT (aimed for 43°C for 60 min). The primary endpoint was persistent complete response (local control).
Results and interpretation: Sixty-four tumors in 54 patients were evaluable, with a median observation of 17 months. Thirty-four tumors were randomized to RT alone and 30 to RT+HT. Compliance with RT was good. HT was associated with moderate to severe pain and discomfort in 38% of the treatments. In 57% of the heated patients at least one treatment achieved the target temperature. HT did not significantly increase radiation morbidity. The complete response rate was 53% in the RT versus 80% in the RT+HT group, and 3-year persistent local control rate was 32% for RT alone versus 53% for RT+HT; HR: 0.48 [0.23–0.98].
The ESHO 2–85 study demonstrated that addition of a weekly HT treatment to RT of advanced neck nodes significantly enhanced the persistent tumor control. The results substantiate the potential clinical benefit of hyperthermic oncology.
Variations in orbital morphology, globe:orbit volume relation, and ophthalmological outcome in unicoronal synostosis
Authors: Lif Hanna M. , Ntoula Evangelia , Larsson Eva , Nowinski Daniel J.
Published: December 2024

Nonsyndromic unicoronal synostosis is associated with variability of severity in orbital morphology and ophthalmological manifestations. The relation between the two is not fully understood, nor how surgical treatment with fronto-orbital advancement and remodelling (FOAR) changes the relation. The aim of this study was to elucidate associations between ophthalmological manifestations and variations in orbital morphology and globe:orbit volume ratios preoperatively and at long-term follow-up after surgery. Twelve children referred to Uppsala Craniofacial Center who underwent computed tomography and standardized ophthalmological examinations regarding strabismus, spherical equivalent, astigmatism, anisometropia, and subnormal vision preoperatively and at 3 years of age were included. Orbits and globes were segmented. Principal component analysis elucidated morphological variation, and symmetry between orbital pairs was measured as the Dice similarity coefficient and globe:orbit volume ratios were calculated. The defined orbital shape variations were correlated with strabismus, refractive error, and subnormal vision. Different shape variations were associated with strabismus pre- and postoperatively and ipsi- and contralateral astigmatism. Greater improvement in orbital symmetry after surgery was associated with improvement in astigmatic anisometropia and new onset strabismus at follow-up. A small globe:orbit volume ratio was associated with preoperative strabismus, while the opposite was seen at follow-up. Different mechanisms seem to cause strabismus pre- and postoperatively, and FOAR might not sufficiently correct orbital morphology.
Numerical simulation of heat flow coupling in the molten pool of dual-spot laser welding of automotive high-strength steel
Authors: Zhong Haihui , Li Xiaoxu , Pan Yiwen , Huang Wenhao
Published: December 2024

High-strength steel is commonly used to manufacture components such as body panels, wheels, and bumpers, which are connected through laser welding. However, issues such as welding distortion, porosity, and oxidation can easily occur during the laser welding process. To address these problems, researchers have proposed using dual-spot laser welding for automotive high-strength steel. Currently, research on dual-spot laser welding mainly focuses on welding formation and weld quality, with limited studies on the flow mechanisms of the molten pool. This lack of understanding hinders the effective application of dual-spot laser welding processes. Therefore, this paper first establishes a three-dimensional transient numerical model for heat flow coupling in the molten pool of dual-spot laser welding of high-strength steel. Then, using a single-variable control method, it investigates the influence of beam distance, welding speed, and laser power on the temperature field of the molten pool. Finally, an analysis of the flow field is conducted to reveal the flow characteristics during the dual-spot laser welding of high-strength steel. Research shows that as the beam distance increases, the size of the molten pool begins to decrease, while the thermal distribution becomes more uniform. Increasing laser power and welding speed help to reduce the formation of welding defects such as porosity and hump defects. This study provides a theoretical basis for the formulation and optimization of welding parameters.
Manifold Systems Applied Theory for Innovative Robotic Technology
Authors: V Riznyk , T Talan
Published: December 2024

Manifold systems applied theory for innovative robotic technology, namely the concept of Perfect Manifold Bundles (PMBs),
is founded on the idea of processing information on many categories of attributes concurrently in the minimized basis of
a manifold coordinate system. The underlying geometric principle allows the processing of several category-attribute sets
simultaneously without paralleling calculation due to the total number of coordinate sets of this system generated by the
combinational addition of the lower number of coordinate sets of the latter. Moreover, the set of the processed vector sets
mutually uniquely matches the set of binary code combinations with vector-weighed bits. Algebraic summing of the bits is
performed by taking into account the numerical values of the corresponding modules, which are definite dimensions, and
dimensionality of the manifold coordinate system. Applications profiting from the manifold systems applied theory are for
example robotic engineering devices and systems, big data processing, controlling dynamic objects in spatial coordinates
according to several variable parameters concurrently, multidimensional signal processing, and other technology as an
alternative to quantum ones.

Authors: Amelia Julfi Restu , Syafitri Bella Roslia
Published: December 2024

Moringa functional drink is well known for its benefits for health but has weaknesses in the form of sensory value in aroma and taste, so the addition of red ginger juice and sucralose is necessary. The research aims to determine the quality characteristics of functional drink, which is added with varying concentrations of red ginger juice and sucralose and reviewed based on its physical, chemical, microbiological, and organoleptics. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used for research design with two factors and two replications: red ginger juice (30%, 40%, and 50%) and sucralose (100 ppm, 150 ppm, and 200 ppm). The ANOVA showed significantly different results (α = 0.05) for total dissolved solids, antioxidant activity values, and organoleptic tests. The best treatment was obtained by adding a concentration of 40% red ginger juice and 150 ppm sucralose, with a total dissolved solids value of 4.97˚Brix, an IC₅₀ antioxidant activity value of 46 ppm indicating very strong antioxidant activity, the hedonic test score was in score range of 4 for color and 5 for aroma and taste. The metals contamination is below the threshold, the total plate number is <1×10³ colonies/ml, and the yeast mold number is <1×10² colonies/ml. Keywords: Antioxidant, Functional, Moringa, Red Ginger, Sucralose.

In a paper I presented at our Association’s recent Conference I suggested that “psyche is the socio-cultural writ small, and the socio-cultural is psyche writ large”. In offering this perspective, my intention was to gesture to the possibility of a dialectic concerning the ways in which the intrapsychic and unconscious nature of psyche interacts with the wider sociocultural context within which it emerges, and that this dialectic is central to the analytic and psychotherapeutic task. It is with this central dialectic in mind that, with great appreciation for the work done by my predecessors in building our associative community of psychotherapists here in Aotearoa New Zealand, I take up the role of President of our Association for the next two years. In doing so I want to express my tremendous gratitude for the creativity and potency of recent Past-Presidents, including my dear friend, Gabriela Mercado, who undertook the role with such energy, warmth and intelligence; Lynne Holdem, who poured so much of her creative energy into reigniting opportunities for us to think and grapple together with the challenges of psychotherapy in contemporary times; Sean Manning who with love and determination, stepped in at short notice when Gabriela took some time-out for family reasons; and to all those Presidents who have preceded me, from Maurice Bevan-Brown in 1947, onwards. As I stand on the shoulders of those who have come before, I bring my mind to the many challenges which we all face, as psychotherapists, and as citizens of this country and this world, in challenging contemporary times.
What is the unconscious?
Authors: Farnsworth John
Published: December 2024

The unconscious may seem a simple concept. This paper draws on recent literature to argue that, not only is it deceptively complex, but it is also a concept undergoing constant transformation and contestation. The paper demonstrates this by exploring several dimensions that shape current understanding and use. They encompass the early philosophy and history of the unconscious in shaping ideas of the modern Western self, and how, more recently, the concept has been constantly reworked and contested as a computational model in social psychology and neuroscience. A further dimension outlines profound counter-discourses of the unconscious, articulated primarily through the indigenous, and through postcolonial and anthropological studies. A third aspect discusses what is counted as evidence of the unconscious and how this shapes its understanding. The paper draws on the literature of intergenerational transmission to illustrate how these dimensions overlap and how they both shape, and are shaped by the complex embodied experience of individual and collective unconscious processes.
Whakaora, Pae Ora
Authors: Tudor Keith , Gledhill Kris , Haenga-Collins Maria
Published: December 2024

The Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Amendment Act 2019 and the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Act 2022 have had major implications for the delivery of health services in Aotearoa New Zealand, especially with regard to equity of provision and delivery and to engaging and working with Māori as tangata whenua. As part of the previous New Zealand government’s restructuring of the health service, the Pae Ora Act set out certain principles for the health sector which this article discusses and applies to psychotherapy, and, specifically, with reference to two ethical codes and the standards of ethics for psychotherapists working in Aotearoa New Zealand. Notwithstanding the fact that the current New Zealand Parliament, dominated by the coalition government elected in October 2023, has repealed that part of the Pae Ora Act that established a separate Māori Health Authority as a way of delivering better outcomes, its principles remain in place and are important for psychotherapists practicing as health practitioners in this country.
Research note: The strategic use of digital learning solutions for employee development: implications for employee relations
Authors: Abdali Munaal , Ho Marcus , Morrow Jeremy
Published: December 2024

The move towards digital technologies for employee training and development is increasingly imperative for organisations in a globalised and digitally connected society. This trend has been accelerated by a Covid-19 work environment where employers grapple with training and development through remote technologies. Consequently, employees are increasingly expected to make multifaceted decisions about their personal development in an uncertain technological environment. Within this environment, organisations are also under pressure to leverage their digital offerings to be more innovative and strategic. The adoption of digital learning solutions (DLS) for employee learning and development strategy has profound implications for their development and relationship with the organisation. This research note explores the implications of moving towards DLS through strategic reflections from human resources managers in New Zealand. Our findings suggest three critical strategic tensions that dominate HR managers’ thinking on adopting DLS: strategic rationales, organisational imperatives, and cognitive barriers. Finally, we discuss the implications of these critical tensions in technology adoption for employee development and employee relations.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the emotional manifestations of teachers with varying levels of conflict resilience. The study involved 1,785 teachers from general education schools in the Khabarovsk region, comprising both male and female participants. Using standardized questionnaires, the level of teachers’ conflict, conflict behavior style, emotional intelligence indicators and emotional burnout level were determined separately for male and female teachers. The investigation revealed both commonalities and distinctive characteristics within the emotional sphere that contribute to the stability of male and female teachers’ behaviors in conflictual situations, as well as specific traits leading to emotional burnout. Notably, the majority of teachers from both genders tended to adopt a compromise-oriented approach in contentious situations, exhibiting an average level of conflict resilience, and preferred to “smoothing things over” during disputes (demonstrating conciliatory and compromising styles of behavior). The aggregate measure of emotional intelligence among male teachers was found to be superior to that of their female counterparts and positively correlated with conflict resilience. However, male teachers displayed higher levels of conflictiveness and lower levels of conflict resilience. In contrast, female teachers were identified as less conflict-prone but exhibited similar emotional intelligence indicators – emotional awareness, empathy, and the ability to recognize other people’s emotions – which are positively associated not only to conflict resilience but also to emotional burnout. For male teachers, emotional burnout is associated with work experience. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the possibility of differentiated support for male and female teachers in mastering mediation technologies and techniques aimed at preserving emotional resources.

Communicative competence is one of the key skills in the education of primary schoolchildren. It is an integral part of successful personal development, the formation of which teachers are engaged in when implementing the Federal State Educational Standard for Primary General Education. High results in this area can be achieved by going beyond educational activities, and one of the effective ways to develop communicative competence is through intellectual games. The paper presents a program of intellectual games that was implemented in practice in grades 3–4 of a comprehensive school based on the results of an experimental diagnostic study, which previously identified the need to improve the level of formation of communication skills among students and specified the presence or absence of certain skills. The experience we have presented in assessing communicative competence and conducting an intellectual championship to enhance it can be widely replicated in schools.

The article elicits the possibilities of using a Russian-English glossary as part of out-of-class activities of cadets of educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia when teaching them the academic discipline “Foreign Language”. Work with a glossary is demonstrated in stages, starting from its formation by cadets to the use of nominative means included in the glossary when producing a thematic statement. The stages of formation and filling of the glossary are based on the functional-role approach to the categorization of the reference zone “Activities of an employee of the road patrol service of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia”. As an example, the types of tasks for improving the following components of professional foreign language communicative competence are proposed: language subcompetence (practicing the phonetic variant of a word and establishing sound-letter correspondences, selecting one lexeme for three contexts, recognizing homoforms, transforming a sentence using a specific word), discursive subcompetence (distribution of nominative units by situations in accordance with their functional register), sociocultural subcompetence (identifying differences in functional analogues in different languages) and speech subcompetence (use of nominative means in speech in accordance with the communicative goal).

Pemanfaatan energi angin sebagai sumber energi terbarukan semakin penting dalam upaya mengurangi ketergantungan pada bahan bakar fosil dan memitigasi dampak perubahan iklim. Turbin angin atap rumah menawarkan solusi yang menjanjikan untuk produksi energi skala kecil di lingkungan perkotaan. Namun, efisiensi dan performa turbin ini sangat bergantung pada desain sudu yang optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan desain turbin angin atap rumah melalui analisis pengaruh variasi panjang lengkung sudu terhadap performa turbin. Metode penelitian melibatkan pengujian eksperimental pada turbin angin dengan tiga variasi Panjang lengkung sudu 5/16, 6/16, dan 7/16 pada empat kecepatan angin yang berbeda 3,48 m/s sd 6,21 m/s). Parameter yang diukur adalah kecepatan putaran turbin rpm, dan  daya generator Watt. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa panjang lengkung sudu 6/16 secara konsisten memberikan performa optimal pada empat kecepatan angin yang diuji. Pada kecepatan angin 6,21 m/s, panjang sudu 6/16 menghasilkan kecepatan putaran tertinggi 228,71 rpm, dengan  daya sebesar 154,62 Watt. Peningkatan kecepatan angin dari 3,48 m/s sd ke 6,21 m/s menghasilkan peningkatan signifikan pada kecepatan putaran dan daya untuk semua variasi panjang sudu. Penurunan performa pada panjang sudu 7/16 mengindikasikan adanya batas optimal dalam desain.

Menurut International Energy Agency (IEA), permintaan energi dunia diperkirakan akan meningkat sebesar 45% hingga tahun 2030, dengan sekitar 80% kebutuhan energi masih dipenuhi oleh bahan bakar fosil. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan energi alternatif menjadi sangat mendesak, dan biomassa menjadi salah satu solusi utama. Biomassa merupakan sumber energi terbarukan yang berasal dari bahan organik yang dapat diperbarui dalam waktu singkat, serta memiliki manfaat seperti menjadi bahan bakar pembangkit listrik dan mengurangi limbah organik yang belum dimanfaatkan dengan baik. Salah satu limbah organik yang kurang dimanfaatkan adalah limbah pengolahan kelapa sawit, seperti cangkang sawit, serta limbah buah pinus karena ketersediaannya dari industri sawit dan hutan pinus, serta kemampuannya mengurangi dampak lingkungan. Penelitian ini mengkaji pengaruh variasi komposisi campuran dan waktu pengeringan terhadap kadar air, nilai kalor, dan kadar abu biomassa/biobriket dari campuran cangkang kelapa sawit dan buah pinus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa biomassa dengan komposisi KC4 memiliki kadar air tertinggi (11,89%) dan tidak memenuhi Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) No. 1683:2021, sementara komposisi lainnya memenuhi standar kadar air. Dalam pengujian kadar abu, semua variasi komposisi dan waktu pengeringan melebihi standar SNI (≥ 10%). Namun, pada pengujian nilai kalor, semua variasi memenuhi standar SNI, dengan nilai tertinggi pada WP3 (6643,18 cal/g). Analisis ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa baik variasi komposisi campuran maupun waktu pengeringan secara signifikan memengaruhi kadar air dan kadar abu, namun hanya waktu pengeringan yang signifikan memengaruhi nilai kalor biomassa.
