Kontrol dan Monitor Irigasi Sawah Otomatis Menggunakan Wemos D1R2 Berbasis Internet of Things
Authors: Daffa Putra Dwiandra  , Tatang Wirawan Wishjhnuadji
Published: January 2024

Cuaca kemarau yang ada di Indonesia merupakan salah satu faktor yang membuat para petani sering kali gagal panen yang diakibatkan kurang nya air untuk sawah mereka, padahal air sangat dibutuhkan untuk mengairi sawah, tanaman padi membutuhkan banyak air untuk dapat hidup. Dengan adanya air yang cukup maka tanaman padi dapat tumbuh dengan baik. Maka berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, dapat dibuat suatu sistem untuk mengontrol dan memonitor irigasi sawah secara otomatis. Tujuan dibuatnya sistem ini adalah agar mempermudah para petani dalam mengairi dan memantau sawah mereka. Sistem ini nantinya akan mengimplementasikan Internet Of Things (IOT) dalam pengoperasiannya. Sistem ini akan menggunakan soil moisture sensor sebagai pendeteksi kelembaban tanah pada sawah dan ultrasonic sensor sebagai pendeteksi ketinggian air pada sawah dan ketinggian air pada bak penampungan air. Untuk soil moisture sensor dan ultrasonic sensor pada sawah apabila kelembaban tanah dan ketinggian air kurang dari nilai yang ditentukan maka motor servo akan membuka pintu air secara otomatis dari bak penampungan air menuju ke sawah hingga nilai yang ditentukan tercapai dan untuk ultrasonic sensor pada bak penampungan air apabila ketinggian air kurang dari nilai yang ditentukan maka secara otomatis relay akan menyalakan pompa DC hingga tercapainya nilai yang ditentukan. Sistem ini menggunakan Wemos D1R2 sebagai mikrokontroler utama yang dilengkapi dengan WiFi ESP8266 yang dihubungkan dengan blynk IOT.

Iklan adalah salah satu bentuk sarana dalam menyampaikan sebuah informasi ataupun promosi. Sebagai salah satu contoh media penyampaian iklan adalah dengan digital signage. Akan tetapi, saat ini bagi penyedia layanan tersebut memiliki sebuah permasalahan dalam penempatan iklan. Penempatan iklan saat ini kurang efektif dan tidak tepat. Hal tersebut dikarenakan sistem yang digunakan dalam menentukan tempat iklan masih manual dan belum memanfaatkan teknologi untuk menganalisa. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan guna membuat sistem iklan yang lebih baik dengan cara memanfaatkan teknologi artificial intelligence. Sistem yang dibuat ini akan melakukan pengklasifikasian jenis kelamin terhadap objek atau orang yang lewat. Untuk pengklasifikasian jenis kelamin objek atau orang tersebut, dirancang menggunakan sebuah algoritma Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Dimana objek yang lewat akan terdeteksi oleh kamera yang disediakan, lalu diproses ke dalam sistem dengan algoritma CNN. Setelah itu akan muncul sebuah hasil prediksi dari pengklasifikasian jenis kelamin objek atau orang tersebut. Sehingga dengan mengetahui jenis kelamin objek atau orang tersebut, sistem akan menghasilkan sebuah output berupa prediksi video iklan yang akan tampil pada layar monitor. Hal ini berguna agar layanan iklan lebih tertarget dan menjadi efektif. Hasil pengujian sistem dari 30 percobaan diperoleh berupa akurasi sebesar 90,5% terhadap uji citra digital dan 100% terhadap video iklan.

Cassava is a crop that stands out in the Amazon region of Brazil, due to its regional scope and substantial production at the national level. However, the average yield of cassava in Amazonian environments is still considered low. The introduction of new varieties and the development of appropriate techniques for the cultivation of cassava under the edaphoclimatic conditions of the Amazon can improve its yield in the region. The objective of this research was to evaluate the agronomic performance and energy potential of six cassava varieties (BRS Mari, BRS Poti, BRS Formosa, Manivão, Jurará and Coraci) cultivated under Amazonian edaphoclimatic conditions. The study was conducted in Juruti, PA, Brazil and a randomized block design was used, with six blocks and six treatments (varieties), totaling 36 experimental units. The agronomic performance was evaluated based on the emergence index (EI), survival index (SI), plant height (PH), stem diameter (SD), above-ground biomass (Yab), yield of storage roots (Ysr), and harvest index (HI). The energy potential was evaluated based on reducing sugars (RS) and total soluble sugars (TSS). All studied varieties presented satisfactory agronomic performances. The Jurará and Coraci varieties stood out in terms of EI and SI, with average values above 0.9. The Manivão variety showed the highest average values of PH and SD, 2.7 and 0.023 m, respectively, at the end of the evaluation period. The BRS Mari variety had the highest RS content among the studied varieties, while the BRS Formosa variety had the highest TSS, with average values of 2.91 and 2.66%, respectively. All varieties showed an HI above 50%, a Ysr amplitude between 15 and 26 Mg·ha-1, and a Yab between 8 and 21 Mg·ha-1, indicating good adaptation to Amazonian edaphoclimatic conditions.
Literair waardenwerk van Salman Rushdie. Klimaatcrisis in de literatuur
Authors: Schreurs Martien
Published: January 2024

In dit essay over het literaire waardenwerk van Salman Rushdie ga ik in dialoog met Amitav Ghosh die in zijn essaybundel The Great Derangement stelt dat Europese romanschrijvers niet goed in staat zijn om de problematiek van klimaatveranderingen te adresseren, omdat de Europese romanliteratuur een exponent is van de modernisering die ons blind heeft gemaakt voor de omvattende ecologische en sociale netwerken waarin mensen verwikkeld zijn. Volgens Ghosh is onze eurocentrische blindheid terug te voeren op twee fundamentele aannames waarop onze moderne sociale verbeelding gestoeld is, namelijk het geloof in (1) de stabiliteit van de natuurlijke orde en (2) de zelfstandigheid van het individu. In het eerste deel van dit essay worden deze beide aannames kritisch tegen het licht gehouden. Het bestaan van aardbevingen maakt al duidelijk dat de natuur ook grillige en onvoorspelbare kanten heeft. En die grillige kanten zullen wij meer en meer leren kennen als de klimaatverandering verder doorzet Het woord dat wij in de toekomst steeds vaker gaan horen, is ‘klimaatadaptatie’. Het gaat hierbij niet alleen om technische maatregelen die wij moeten nemen om de effecten van klimaatverandering binnen de perken te houden, maar ook om de innerlijke of spirituele processen van transformatie die hiermee gemoeid zijn. De vraag die zich aan ons opdringt, is hoe wij ons moeten verhouden tot natuurkrachten die de grenzen van de natie en het individu doorbreken en overstijgen. In het tweede deel van mijn essay geef ik gehoor aan de oproep van Ghosh dat wij te rade dienen te gaan bij de romanliteratuur om ons een beeld te vormen van die onbegrensde wereld van ongekende mogelijkheden en onmogelijkheden. Maar anders dan Ghosh suggereert, hoeven wij daarvoor niet perse naar niet-Europese literatuur op zoek te gaan. Om recht te doen aan die onbegrensde wereld moeten wij juist op zoek gaan naar romans die voorbij de grenzen van oost en west, noord en zuid uitstijgen. De negentiendeeeuwse schrijver en filosoof Johann Wolfgang Goethe heeft hiervoor de term ‘Weltliteratur’ gemunt. Deze term is volgens mij van toepassing op de essays en romans die Salman Rushdie de laatste vier decennia geschreven heeft. Met name in zijn roman The Ground Beneath Her Feet (1999) laat Rushdie zien hoe ons beeld van onszelf en de wereld verandert als ons geloof in de stabiele natuurlijke orde door een aardbeving weg geslagen wordt. Maar deze roman blijft niet in deze negatieve kritiek steken.

Authors: Ahmed Bastoon M. , Ahmed Gli Fakher Abobaker , Ali Suhailah M. , Rashid Hayman Mohammed Saeed , Salih Hewa Sattar
Published: January 2024

Background: Online teaching behavior and teachers' acceptance of it can have an impact, as its acceptance will play a vital role in the learning process. E-learning, distance education, and accredited courses previously were part of informal learning. However, it appears that it can gradually replace the formal education system. On the other hand, online courses eliminate practical components such as face-to-face training, and clinical and laboratory sessions; As a result, learners lose the opportunity to train, cooperate and build relationships.
Objectives: This study aimed to describe the faculty members’ attitudes toward readiness to teach online at Iraqi universities, and to identify the relationship between some of the demographic factors (age, gender, and educational status) and their attitudes toward using online teaching.
Methods: A descriptive exploratory design was conducted, and an online questionnaire was administered to (99) nursing faculties from different Iraqi universities between 1st March and 20th May 2022. A standardized questionnaire was used to achieve objectives of the study. Permission was granted through informational consent to collect data from the participants.  Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS program (V.24).
Results: The descriptive data analysis revealed that the age range of the participants represented (48.5 %), (MS=2.1, SD= 0.89), is primarily between (36-45) years old. about half of participants (50.5%) had a Master of Science in Nursing degree (MS=2.15, SD=0.64). The inferential statistics revealed a substantial relationship between age of the participants and items related to utilizing various instructional techniques in an online setting (χ2 (2, N =99 = 26.562, p < 0.05), and managing course time with facilitation techniques (χ2 (2, N =99 = 25.098, p < 0.05). Additionally, a significant relationship was found between the of the participants and item related to communicating with students via email (χ2 (2, N =99 = 10.737, p < 0.05). Furthermore, a significant relationship was discovered between participants' educational level and items related to spending weekly hours to grade assignments (χ2 (2, N =99 = 21.889, p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The development of creative teaching strategies and curricula that cater to the demands of tomorrow's nurses has become a problem for nursing education programs today, with the rapid changes in the methods of communication and information.

Published: January 2024

In Ethiopia hot pepper is one of the important vegetable crops produced for home consumption, local markets and international markets. The price of hot pepper in both green pod and dry pod was being increased due to various factors. Selection of best variety for green pod and also for dry pod purpose is mandatory before production. Hence, participatory variety selection was conducted at Halaba and Negelle Arsi districts of the Southern Ethiopia during 2020/2021 cropping season. Five varieties (Melka Oli, Melka Awaze, Melka Shote, Melka Zala, and Melka Dera) were evaluated for green pod purpose and four varieties Melka Awaze, Melka Shote, Melka Zala, Mareko Fana, and local variety were used for dry pod evaluation purpose at both sites. The Researchers` data and farmers preferences toward the varieties were collected and analyzed using SAS software and pair wise ranking, respectively. From the farmers` evaluation results Melka Dera followed by Melka Shote selected for green pod and Mareko Fana for dry pod purpose. Researchers` evaluation results also showed that Mareko Fana was higher in yield and yield components as compared to other varieties evaluated for dry pod purpose. Therefore, based on the results obtained it is better and recommended to produce Melka Dera and Melka Shote for green pod and Mareko Fana for dry pod for the farmers of Halaba and Negelle Arsi districts and other similar agro-ecologies. However, for comprehensive results the participatory variety evaluation should be repeated using irrigation and all possible hot pepper varieties for both green pod and dry pod purposes.

Published: January 2024

В ряде зарубежных государств существует практика привлечения животных к уголовной ответственности, хотя подобные случаи и встречаются крайне редко и являются исключением из общего правила привлечения к юридической ответственности исключительно субъектов права. Животные, согласно современному законодательству всех стран, не являются субъектами права, что в числе прочих факторов означает невозможность привлечения их к ответственности, в том числе уголовной. Привлечение их к уголовной ответственности, во-первых, означало бы признание их в качестве субъектов права; во-вторых, обнаруживается тесная связь обнаруженной проблемы с другой: с проблемой участившихся в последние годы случаев нападения животных на людей — в случае признания животных субъектами преступления возникнет необходимость создания специальной системы для урегулирования подобных случаев. Насколько это всё целесообразно — большой вопрос.

IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Authors: Mr. Rajesh K
Published: January 2024

The industrial automation market has been growing at a considerable pace over the last few years in India- owing to the growing need, complying with international standards in quality and cost-effective methods of production. (Mrinmoy Dey,2015). Industrial processes can be controlled manually, but with industrial automation, machines can be controlled by the use of computers as well as different electronic devices. Mainly there are four types of industrial automation: They are fixed, programmable, flexible and integrated automation.
Industrial automation has a number of advantages, such as increased productivity and safety, at the same time reduces human error and, thereby, leads to high-quality output. Next generation manufacturing strategies must support global competitiveness, innovation, and introduction of new products, and strong market responsiveness. (François Jammes and Harm Smit,2005)
The aim of automation in the process of manufacturing and marketing have been significantly advanced to be autonomous. It should be noted that the future potential of automation is aimed at do away with the repetitious and hazardous job function by serving the outsourcing of the same to a machine.

Simulacrum And Hyperreality in Cargill’s Day Zero
Authors: Rana Abdul Munim Khan  , Faiza Riasat Ali  , Amina Aleem
Published: January 2024

This study examines the simulacrum and simulation representation of postmodern society in Cargill's Day Zero in the postmodern theoretical paradigm of Baudrillard. The postmodern concept of hyperreality is concerned with concealing the truth behind reproductions that is twice removed from reality. The thorough study of the text shows how simulacra and simulation can produce highly real environments that seem to exist entirely outside of human reality. This writing is dystopian in nature because the hyperbolic representation of consumer society leads towards magic world which seems real due to its continuous practice. The protagonist of the story is a little boy named Ezra who uses a robot named Pounce to help him to navigate the post-apocalyptic world. Pounce, a fictitious nannybot, is the representation of consumer society due to its robotic implications. Pounce wonders over the elements of robot revolution that will exterminate humanity. This paper has analyzed the rebellious attitude of machinery such as by robots and other artificially intelligent computers against humans. Therefore, the ordinary and uninteresting state of the modern world eventually gives rise to the world of hyperreality, where everything appears to be more fascinating and less dry than the alleged desert of the real outside. In the context of this study, it is asserted that the postmodern person gets tired of the apparent artificiality of hyperreality and either strives to re-discover the real or confronts the meaningless wasteland left in the wake of the real’s absence. Through this analysis, the researcher has drawn the conclusion that reality has completely changed and that hyperreality is now the predominate reality. Therefore, the application of this study is valuable in demonstrating an understanding of the scope and impact of hyperreality, simulation, and simulacra on the postmodern individuals.

Effects of Artificial Regeneration Methods on Mortality, Growth and Shape of Oak Seedlings in a Central European Oak-Hornbeam Stand
Authors: Tobisch Tamás
Published: January 2024

This paper analyses the results of an artificial regeneration experiment carried out in an oak-hornbeam stand. The effects of initial seedling density (10200, 14300, 35700 stems per hectare), spacing geometry (140 cm x 70 cm, 240 cm x 40 cm), chemical (with Erunit and Nabu) and mechanical weeding of pedunculate (Quercus robur) and sessile oak (Quercus petraea) were examined at the age of eight years. The mortality of Q. robur seedlings was independent of the initial density but that of Q. petraea increased with it. Height and diameter growth of both species significantly decreased with the density, and the values of the diameter-to-height ratios (DHR) became smaller as the density increased. At approximately the same seedling density the mortality was lower but the seedlings were shorter, thinner and the values of DHR were smaller if the distance between stems was much lower than that between rows. Mechanical or chemical weeding did not affect considerably seedling mortality, growth or shape in any of the spacing types.
On the Biology of the Bark Beetle Scolytus nitidus Schedl (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) Attacking Apple Orchards
Authors: Buhroo Abdul Ahad , Lakatos Ferenc
Published: January 2024

The biological characters of Scolytus nitidus were investigated both in the field and in the laboratory as well. This common shot-hole borer overwinters in larval stage on apple trees in Kashmir. After emergence the adults fly to suitable trees and undergo maturation feeding for 4-6 days. The copulation takes place at the entrance hole. The maternal gallery is one armed longitudinal, in average 4.6 cm long. The female lays 52 eggs on an average. The eggs hatch in 5 to 7 days. The larvae have 5 instars and complete their development in 38 to 50 days constructing larval galleries 5-8 cm in length. The larvae pupate for 6-18 days and finally the adults emerge to attack new suitable trees. The adults live for 45-60 days and the total life-span of this species ranges from 97 to 124 days. The seasonal distribution of various life stages and the number of generations were also recorded.
Sustainable tourism development in Liminal Spaces
Authors: Ciro Aida
Published: January 2024

A reported 5.9 million foreign citizens visited Albania in 2018 alone (INSTAT, 2019), marking an increase of 15.8% compared to the previous year. These figures show that the importance of tourism in Albania is growing, as have the number of communities adopting tourism development initiatives as a strategy for local economic development, including “liminal places”.
This paper focuses on exploring the concept of liminality, and how the latter can be reversed through tourism development initiatives. A number of specific cases ranging from local to national are researched and used to illustrate the relationship established between this state of in-between-ness and the entrepreneurial ecosystem within a tourism development context. The case studies at the focus of this research paper are two distinctively liminal places, namely: the village of Fishtë in the north-western municipality of Lezhë, and the south-eastern municipality of Gramsh. The aim of this paper is to explore how tourism development can serve to reverse liminality (social, economic), centred around two key questions: What is liminality in a tourism development context? Can liminality be reversed?
Inquiries on the liminality in between Raw material extraction sites and urbanized centers.Study case The quarry in the outskirts of Sofratike
Authors: Nika Blerim
Published: January 2024

Compared to the rest of the urbanized centers along Drinos valley Sofratikë is a particular case since it stands between a natural system, the historic site of Hadrianopoli, and an agriculture system. The former productive areas in Sofratikë have been one of the main sectors of economic growth during the communism period. The aftermath following the fall of the communist regime was catastrophic for the most part of the productive areas as they suffered major changes due to the abandonment after the closure of many productive activities. Abandoned for almost 30 years these productive areas suffered uncontrolled exploitation. The quarry sites before the 90-s were built in the outskirts of the urbanized center. With the fall of the communist regime these productive sites were reactivated by uncontrolled informal urbanization. The opportunities these areas present today are now a main objective for urban requalification. This paper aims to analyze and investigate how these former quarries can be repurposed and regenerated. The paper focuses on the relation between the raw material extractions facilities with urbanized centers on the one hand, and the natural system in which these are contained. This paper also measures the extent of the damage these sites have suffered in terms of their disconnection with the natural system.
Derviçan: a morpho–typological development analysis as a tool for its conservation
Authors: Vona Veronica
Published: January 2024

The rehabilitation of the rural villages with a strong heritage value like Derviçan pose many questions that need to be addressed in order to find practical answers concerning a problem that is strongly felt in different countries and contexts. We are talking about social and economic issues: how to prevent the risk of depopulation, how to regulate the new expansion, and how to preserve the historical and architectural characteristics.
The most important matter is the knowledge of the morphological development and typological analysis of the urban tissue and, as mentioned by Riccardo Dalla Negra, regardless of the approach whether such knowledge is in the field of restoration or renovation.
The methodological assumption used in the analysis of Derviçan’s tissue comes from the school of Saverio Muratori and his students, who sees the typological and anthropization process not merely as a static categorization of building types and building features, but instead as a process that, under certain aspects, it is still evolving in Derviçan.
This analysis aims to identify the rules with which the buildings have changed over time and have adapted to new ways of living.
These resources range from the use of the identified rules for planning the new city development in an organic and integrated manner, to the identification of historical paths with a view to valorisation, not only of the Derviçan village, but also of the complex system of settlements in the Dropull area.
Thus, at a first analysis, it can be affirmed that the village of Derviçan, initially developed as a high promontory settlement near a punctiform polarity, over time turned into a low promontory settlement, attracted by a continuous cross-ridge, a new linear polarity.
This magnetic element, still interpretable, has started to shift, in a more or less planned way, until it turned into the current Highway that leads from Gjirokastër to the Greek border: a new linear polarity, which, due to its characteristics, also acts as a limit to the expansion.
On a closer scale, moreover, the analysis leads to a conscious action on the built, by respecting its identity, but at the same time allowing a transformation that takes into account the modern needs.
The identification of those legitimate changes within the historical building, respecting what Arch. Riccardo Dalla Negra defined as “the physiological limitation of historical building type renovation”, represents the analytical method to follow, which aims not to overcome a limit that would involve the loss of the object itself as a heritage.
ANN model for Call Options Pricing using S&P 100 Market Data

Stock options pricing is of key importance for markets and traders and is largely based on theoretical models like the Black-Scholes model. However, developments in machine learning open a novel, data-driven, perspective in contrast to the theoretical ones. This work explores the feasibility of artificial neural network model utilization for call option pricing, using the traditional Black-Scholes model as a benchmark. A multilayer perceptron model is trained to learn the Black-Scholes function and tested in real market call options data originating from thirty-five S&P 100 stocks. Findings demonstrate that artificial neural networks perform relatively well with market data and can be a valid data-driven approach for call option pricing, competitive to Black-Scholes. A unique contribution of this study is that testing data is not derived from the same distribution as training data, something common in existing works with similar models. Although further exploration and experimentation are required to reach the required robustness and become less ad hoc and data sensitive, datadriven pricing using artificial neural networks is a promising approach and can play a substantial role in option pricing.
Retinal eccentricity modulates
saliency-driven but not relevance-driven visual selection

Where we move our eyes during visual search is controlled by the
relative saliency and relevance of stimuli in the visual field. However, the visual
field is not homogeneous, as both sensory representations and attention change with
eccentricity. Here we present an experiment investigating how eccentricity
differences between competing stimuli affect saliency- and relevance-driven
selection. Participants made a single eye movement to a predefined orientation
singleton target that was simultaneously presented with an orientation singleton
distractor in a background of multiple homogenously oriented other items. The target
was either more or less salient than the distractor. Moreover, each of the two
singletons could be presented at one of three different retinal eccentricities, such
that both were presented at the same eccentricity, one eccentricity value apart, or
two eccentricity values apart. The results showed that selection was initially
determined by saliency, followed after about 300 ms by relevance. In addition,
observers preferred to select the closer over the more distant singleton, and this
central selection bias increased with increasing eccentricity difference.
Importantly, it largely emerged within the same time window as the saliency effect,
thereby resulting in a net reduction of the influence of saliency on the selection
outcome. In contrast, the relevance effect remained unaffected by eccentricity.
Together, these findings demonstrate that eccentricity is a major determinant of
selection behavior, even to the extent that it modifies the relative contribution of
saliency in determining where people move their eyes.
Automated facial expression measurement in a longitudinal sample of 4- and 8-month-olds: Baby FaceReader 9 and manual coding of affective expressions

Facial expressions are among the earliest behaviors infants use to express emotional states, and are crucial to preverbal social interaction. Manual coding of infant facial expressions, however, is laborious and poses limitations to replicability. Recent developments in computer vision have advanced automated facial expression analyses in adults, providing reproducible results at lower time investment. Baby FaceReader 9 is commercially available software for automated measurement of infant facial expressions, but has received little validation. We compared Baby FaceReader 9 output to manual micro-coding of positive, negative, or neutral facial expressions in a longitudinal dataset of 58 infants at 4 and 8 months of age during naturalistic face-to-face interactions with the mother, father, and an unfamiliar adult. Baby FaceReader 9’s global emotional valence formula yielded reasonable classification accuracy (AUC = .81) for discriminating manually coded positive from negative/neutral facial expressions; however, the discrimination of negative from neutral facial expressions was not reliable (AUC = .58). Automatically detected a priori action unit (AU) configurations for distinguishing positive from negative facial expressions based on existing literature were also not reliable. A parsimonious approach using only automatically detected smiling (AU12) yielded good performance for discriminating positive from negative/neutral facial expressions (AUC = .86). Likewise, automatically detected brow lowering (AU3+AU4) reliably distinguished neutral from negative facial expressions (AUC = .79). These results provide initial support for the use of selected automatically detected individual facial actions to index positive and negative affect in young infants, but shed doubt on the accuracy of complex a priori formulas.

Ukrainian-British diplomatic efforts amidst the ruscist aggression
Authors: Yakovenko Natalia
Published: January 2024

Abstract. The article explores the strengthening of Ukrainian-British diplomatic relations over the course of the ruscist aggression against Ukraine. The author argues that diplomacy has become an efficient asset that can play a crucial role in assuring Ukraine’s victory in the struggle against the aggressor.
The study focuses on the consistent and effective support for Ukraine extended by the United Kingdom and the latter’s unyielding opposition to russia’s aggressive expansionist policy. The article highlights the rapid development of Ukrainian-British relations, referring to the signing of agreements on political cooperation, free trade, and strategic partnership between the two countries in October 2020.
The United Kingdom seeks to form alliances with like-minded countries to support Ukraine. Specifically, the author mentions the initiative to establish a trilateral alliance between Ukraine, the UK, and Poland to enhance security and foster economic cooperation. Additionally, he emphasises the importance of intensive diplomatic contacts and visits by Boris Johnson to Kyiv, which bolstered the coordination in providing support and assistance to Ukraine. Moreover, the paper references the notable Ukraine Recovery Conference in London, highlighting the pivotal role of the international community in supporting and rebuilding Ukraine.
Overall, the article underscores that the United Kingdom remains one of Ukraine’s closest friends that promotes the expansion and enhancement of support from other Western partners. While the author acknowledges the presence of diverse political stances on the issue within British society, he concludes that Ukraine will undoubtedly continue to play a prominent role in the United Kingdom’s foreign policy, cementing the latter’s role in the fight for European and transatlantic security.
Keywords: Ukraine, Great Britain, diplomacy, Ukrainian-British diplomatic relations, ruscist aggression.
