Published: January 2025

Abstract

The numerical analysis of four dynamic large-scale field tests conducted at LKAB Kiirunavaara mine are presented in this paper. The aim was to numerically study the behavior and response of the burden and the tested walls in field Tests 1, 2, 4 and 5. For this purpose, two numerical methods were combined, i.e. the finite element code LS-DYNA and the distinct element code UDEC. The LS-DYNA was used to calculate the blast load, and the UDEC was used to propagate the calculated load in the model where the geological conditions of the test site and the installed rock support in the field tests were modelled. The model was calibrated by comparing the velocity and displacement calculated on the surface of the opening, and the zones yielded in tension were used to study the failure mechanism developed in the burden. The numerical models were able to mimic the behavior of the jointed rock mass and the rock support fairly well. It is concluded that the number of major joint sets was the main reason to the difference between the failure development in Tests 1 and 2 and Tests 4 and 5. The numerical analysis of Tests 1 and 2 confirmed that the gas pressure in the vicinity of the test wall in those tests was minimum. In Tests 4 and 5, it was observed that, the generated fractures in the burden combined with the natural joint condition of the burden, increased the possibility for blocks to rotate and move within the burden. The complete burden damage in Tests 4 and 5 was concluded to be the be due to the ejection of rock blocks in the vicinity of the test wall upon the arrival of stress wave, and ejection of the remaining portion of the rock blocks in the burden by the gas expansion.

Keywords: UDEC, LS-DYNA, Numerical analysis, Large-scale tests, Rock support.

An Examination of the Significance of Group Burials of Human Remains from the Unified Silla Period Excavated at the Beonseong-dong Site in Jinju
Authors:   The Korean Archaeological Society, Kim Hunsuk , Park Sewon , Kim Jaewon , Kim Jinyoul
Published: January 2025

Research on human remains excavated from archaeological sites has primarily focused on the Three Kingdoms period and the Joseon dynasty. These studies are centered around reconstructing the life histories and burial processes of the individuals whose remains are recovered. However, such research has often been limited to cases where remains were found in isolation, with clear causes of death. In contrast, when multiple human remains are discovered, the reasons for burial can be diverse. The archaeological site investigated in this study is located in the eastern historical preservation area of Jinju Castle, specifically in Zone 3 of Beonseong-dong, Jinju. During excavation undertaken before the maintenance of the sewage system in Jinju, more than 20 human remains were identified within a grave structure dating to the late 9th to early 10th century. The dating was estimated to be around 800-900 CE based on associated pottery and radiocarbon dating. The remains were found in a disarticulated state, and an analysis of the cranial and postcranial elements revealed that the majority were women and children.
The remains featured traces of sharp force trauma on the cranium and mandible, suggesting that the cause of death may have been due to external factors such as decapitation.
By comparing and analyzing the signs of trauma on the remains, and by utilizing the results of radiocarbon dating, associated artifacts, and contemporary historical texts, it can be concluded that Jinju was a significant site during the political turmoil of the late Unified Silla period, particularly in relation to events such as the Rebellion of Kim Heon-chang and the geopolitical tensions between Later Baekje and Goryeo. Considering the burial date, age composition, and traces left on the remains, it is highly likely that these individuals were associated with the Rebellion of Kim Heon-chang. In conclusion, the human remains excavated from Beonseong-dong in Jinju are believed to be victims of the chaotic circumstances of the late Unified Silla period.
CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF SOBORNOST IN RUSSIAN RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHYOF THE LATE 19TH - FIRST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY
Authors: ORLOV M.O. , TONKOVIDOVA A.V.
Published: January 2025

In the history of the development of the idea of sobornost at the end of the 19th - first half of the 20th centuries, the stages of formation of sobornost and its conceptual models are identified through the methods of conceptualization, polylogue and dialectics. The first stage (end of the 19th century) is socio-ontological, based on the idea of Vseedinstvo by Vladimir Solovyov and the metaphysics of consciousness Sergey Trubetskoy. The second stage in the formation of the idea of sobornost - symbolic-social-ontological, is presented in the works of Sergey Bulgakov, Pavel Florensky, Semen Frank, Lev Karsavin, Nikolay Berdyaev. Each of the stages corresponds to conceptual models of sobornost, in which we define the socio-ontological level that contains the dialectical core of the forms of sobornost: religious, secular and religious-secular socialities, the goal-setting parameters for achieving conciliar unity. The conceptual model of sobornost of the second stage is enriched with a symbolic-semantic level, including symbolically represented asceticism, through which the goal-setting parameters of sobornost are achieved.

Authors: MENYAEVA M.P.
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the relevance of the topic of self-education in different historical periods on the basis of comprehension of ideas about the essence, goals, and meanings of self-education in foreign and domestic philosophical thought. It is revealed that the relevance of the theme of self-education is connected with the difference in the ways (or aspects) of its problematization in different periods of the history of society and culture. The philosophical heritage differently presents the content characteristics of self-education, which act as interrelated and complementary processes of human identity. Thus, the need for self-knowledge, which has arisen since antiquity, is actualized at all times. On this basis, starting from the New Age, the processes of self-development, self-education, self-determination, etc. are realized. The study of self-education in historical dynamics shows that self-education is aimed at self-improvement, which was understood differently in each period of history. It contains the possibilities of sustainable being oneself.

Authors: Sachu Kevikuonuo , Ezung T.Zarenthung
Published: January 2025

Nagaland is a state without any major industry, which has resulted in the people's dependence on the government, seeking government jobs. As a result, the need for survival and maintaining the standard of living has forced the household to diversify their livelihood activities by adopting multiple jobs. Numerous factors determine the ability of a household to diversify its livelihood. In this study, data was collected from170 households. The Simpson Diversity Index is applied to measure diversity, and the censored To bit model is used to analyze the determinants of livelihood diversification. The study found that both non-farm and farm have a high diversity level and that many households do not diversify their livelihood activities. The result also shows that education has a negative significant impact on the household’s decision to diversify their livelihood activities.

Published: January 2025

This research aims to analyze the Integrated Social Welfare Data Policy Management (DTKS). This research approach uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews and documentation with data analysis techniques through data reduction, data presentation and verification conclusion drawing. In the research findings involving 7 informants, that in the focus of research on the implementation of the Integrated Social Welfare Data Management program specifically in the process of inputting data on beneficiaries in the Social Empowerment and Poverty Handling Division at the Tomohon City Social Service found that there are still obstacles in the implementation of this program or policy with reference to five main sub-aspects: program socialization to technical implementers, inter-agency communication, implementer resources, funding sources, and the impact of budget revisions on program implementation. This research used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, involving in-depth interviews with relevant parties as well as analysis of official documents as the main data source. The results showed that the lack of understanding of technical terms, network instability, and the lack of routine socialization were the main obstacles in the implementation of the program. In addition, ineffective inter-service communication, such as information delays and lack of use of digital platforms, hampers coordination in data management. Lack of competent human resources, limited technical training, and weak performance evaluation mechanisms reduce the effectiveness of program implementation. Funding constraints, such as delays in disbursement and unforeseen budget revisions, further exacerbated the smooth running of the program. The short-term solutions implemented proved inadequate to overcome these problems. This study recommends increasing the frequency of socialization and technical training, optimizing the use of digital technology in communication between agencies, and rearranging human resource management mechanisms. In addition, improving budget management through more integrated and responsive financial planning is a priority to support the sustainability of effective DTKS program implementation. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to the improvement of policy implementation and social services in Tomohon City.

Prevalence of Teenage Parenthood and Subsequent Burden on Elderly Family Members in Bungoma North Sub-County, Kenya
Authors: Orina Wilbrodah Adhiambo
Published: January 2025

The prevalence of teenage parenthood presents significant social and economic challenges, especially in developing countries, where it often leads to increased dependency on elderly family members. This paper assessed the prevalence of teenage parenthood and examined the resulting dependency burden on elderly caregivers in Bungoma North Sub-County. Hagel’s Theory of Responsibility and Theory of Reasoned Action were used to underpin the study. A cross-sectional study design was used, involving a sample of 143 teenage mothers and pregnant teenagers from 10 schools. Stratified random sampling involved dividing the population into subgroups of ten schools and then randomly selecting participants from each subgroup. This ensured that the sample is representative of the population across the different subgroups. The sample included girls who were either pregnant or had recently given birth. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, focusing on socio-demographic characteristics, caregiving arrangements, and family dynamics. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were employed to interpret the data. The findings revealed that elderly family members, particularly those aged 56 and above, bear the brunt of caregiving responsibilities, with 27% of caregivers aged 66 or older. A high prevalence of teenage pregnancy in Bungoma North Sub County, Kenya, leads to significant reliance on elderly family members for childcare, placing strain on their physical, emotional, and financial well-being. This burden is further exacerbated by limited support from other family members and inadequate access to external resources, leaving elderly caregivers feeling socially isolated and financially strained. The study highlights the need for targeted support systems, including social services, caregiver training, and psychological support, to ease the caregiving burden. Additionally, enhanced programs addressing teenage pregnancy prevention and education are crucial to reducing the long-term dependency burden on elderly caregivers and keeping teenage girls in school.

Published: January 2025

Human capital (HC) plays a crucial role in financial literacy by influencing individuals’ ability to make informed financial decisions. However, the phrase “Beyond Numbers” suggests that the focus of the study goes beyond mere financial figures or traditional accounting metrics. It implies a deeper exploration into how human capital intervention contribute to the sustainability of micro-enterprises in ways that are not captured by numbers alone. Financial literacy encompasses the understanding of financial principles such as budgeting, investing, and risk management, while accounting literacy involves knowledge of financial reporting, bookkeeping, and compliance. However, achieving long-term sustainability involves more than just managing finances effectively. Thus, this study aims to propose a comprehensive framework that delineates how human capital contributes to the overall resilience of micro-enterprises. We conducted a systematic review approach based on at least 49 articles to synthesise existing literatures and provide a comprehensive understanding on the roles of HC in shaping the financial literacy of individuals. Based on the analysis findings, hundred and nine (109) codes were generated out of which eight (8) main themes which are then aggregated into four (4) higher level themes Behavioral factors, Economic factors, Cognitive factors and Social factors.

IMPLEMENTASI PRINSIP WASIAT DALAM ISLAM (PERSPEKTIF HUKUM DI INDONESIA)
Authors: Mukhlisuddin Teuku
Published: January 2025

A will is a message about a good thing that will be carried out after a person dies. The testament comes from the word washa which means to convey or give a message or forgiveness. In other words, a will is property given by its owner to another person after the giver dies. The concept of a will in Islam refers to the transfer of assets to distant relatives or relatives who do not have inheritance rights as well as to other people. From this concept, a theory of legal reasoning regarding will law emerged, which then developed to include reasoning about its legal posistion. The aim of Islamic law is to realize the benefit of the people. One of the aspects that is the focus of this study is wills, namely the posistion of wills in the inheritance distribution system, the legal impact of testamentary events, and the legal posistion of Islmaic wills in the Indonesian legal system.
Memória individual e coletiva
Authors: Basso Antunes de Oliveira Liz
Published: January 2025

Este trabalho buscou analisar os recursos utilizados por Tatiana Salem Levy em sua mais recente obra, Melhor não contar (2024), para entrelaçar a memória individual e a memória coletiva. A autora enfatiza o uso do diário como ferramenta para a continuidade do silenciamento das mulheres, ao mesmo tempo em que revela os assédios sexuais que sofreu durante a infância e adolescência por parte do padrasto. Aconselhada a manter silêncio sobre o caso, mais de vinte anos após a morte de sua mãe, Tatiana exterioriza sua experiência singular e, paralelamente, verbaliza questões que perpassam a experiência das mulheres nas sociedades patriarcais. Trata-se de uma obra que rompe o silenciamento imposto e coloca em pauta temáticas indispensáveis para a reafirmação das mulheres enquanto sujeitos políticos e históricos. Para a investigação, a perspectiva histórica de Michelle Perrot (2007) e o pensamento de Jacques Rancière (2023) foram imprescindíveis. O trabalho de Joel Candau (2018) foi basilar no que concerne a ótica de memória aqui adotada, enquanto que as pesquisas de Florencia Garramuño (2014) foram fundamentais quanto aos recursos utilizados para compor narrativas contemporâneas, tais como a desestruturação de gêneros literários, a fragmentação da narrativa, a exposição da intimidade, o uso de outros recursos como a fotografia e o arquivo.
Incorporating the Sensemaking Loop from Intelligence Analysis into Bespoke Tools for Digital History.
Authors: Turkel William
Published: January 2025

The discipline of intelligence analysis, like the discipline of history, requires its practitioners to create interpretations supported by large collections of sources that may be incomplete, inconsistent, ambiguous, and occasionally deceptive. Here I argue that models of the intelligence analyst’s research process, structured techniques for qualitative reasoning under uncertainty, and software for incorporating human ‘sensemaking’ can all be adapted for use by historians. In doing so, I provide a sustained example of digital historical research using a large online collection of historical sources, the Old Bailey Online.

The aim of this study is to desccribe how the implementation of Direct Reading-Thingking (DR-TA) strategy implemented by the teacher in teaching reading comprehension and what challenges the teacher faced in adminitering this strategy in class. The informant in this research was one of the English teachers in class XI of  SMAN 2 Sungai Limau. The data collection methods were observation and interview. Data collection was done through observation checklist and interview with the teacher. Observations were made in class XI MIPA 5 and class XI MIPA 6. Data analysis was done by data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion, the data was presented in descriptive qualitative format. The finding show that the teacher had implemented this strategy in teaching reading comprehension, but there was one step that was skipped by the teacher. The challenges that teachers face in the classroom when implementing the DR-TA strategy are firstly the limited time they have in class, while the time needed for the implementation of this strategy is long. Second, students who are not active and enthused in the learning process. The third is the limited background knowledge of students so that it is difficult to provide predictions.

This study explores the impact of the SPADA UNPRI platform on student engagement in English classes at Universitas Prima Indonesia. The objectives are to analyze the platform’s effectiveness in fostering cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement and to identify factors influencing its implementation. This research uses a mixed-methods approach, the research uses a sequential explanatory design, beginning with quantitative data collection through surveys from 100–150 students, followed by qualitative data from interviews and focus group discussions involving 10–15 participants. The findings reveal that SPADA UNPRI significantly enhances cognitive engagement, with 78% of students reporting an improved understanding of English materials. Emotional engagement is also supported, as 65% found quizzes and interactive features motivating. Behavioral engagement is evident, with 72% of students actively participating in forums. However, challenges such as limited internet connectivity and insufficiently structured social interactions were noted. The study recommends enhancing technical infrastructure to ensure equitable access and incorporating more collaborative activities to strengthen relatedness among learners. By addressing these areas, SPADA UNPRI can further its role as an effective tool for improving student engagement and achieving meaningful learning outcomes.

This study aims to examine the effect of the Teaching Factory-based learning method on students' understanding in the Industrial Chemistry course. The Teaching Factory method is a learning approach that integrates industrial practical experience with the theory taught in class, allowing students to acquire skills relevant to the workforce. This study uses an experimental design with two groups: the experimental group, which follows the Teaching Factory-based learning method, and the control group, which follows the conventional learning method. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to measure students' understanding. The results show that the experimental group, which followed the Teaching Factory method, experienced a significant improvement in understanding, with an average difference in pre-test and post-test scores of 19.80 (p-value = 0.000), while the control group only showed a small improvement with a score difference of 5.85 (p-value = 0.020). Practical observation indicated that students in the experimental group were more skilled in performing industrial process simulations compared to the control group. Additionally, the results of the questionnaire showed higher satisfaction levels in the experimental group (average score of 4.2) compared to the control group (average score of 3.4). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Teaching Factory-based learning method has a positive and significant impact on improving students' understanding in the Industrial Chemistry course and the practical skills relevant to the industrial world. This study recommends implementing this method more widely in higher education, especially in courses directly related to industrial processes.
