Important Civil Procedure Law Cases in 2022
Authors:   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University, Lee Su-Jin
Published: April 2023

In 2022, the Supreme Court issued several significant precedents in Civil Procedure Law. This article highlights seven key precedents relating to the Civil Procedure Law that were issued in 2022. Some of these precedents also touch on other legal areas such as civil law, commercial law, and civil enforcement law, but they were considered within the context of civil litigation legal issues. The seven precedents that are discussed in this article include: 1) the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments that mandate double compensation; 2) the disclaimer of a lawsuit and the suspension of prescription following the invalidation of a contract name trust; 4) the criteria for determining the eligibility of parties in a lawsuit for the return of co-owned property; and 7) others. Additionally, 14 cases were summarized and classified separately based on the other precedents of the Civil Procedure Act issued in 2022.
While this article only provides a brief overview of these precedents, it is intended to be a useful resource for future studies on the 2022 civil procedure law cases.
Effect of transfer of receivables with special agreement for prohibition of transfer
Authors:   The Institute of Legal Studies, Kyunghee University, Lee Choong-Hoon
Published: April 2023

Subsection 449(2) of the Civil Act provides that “Where the parties have declared a contrary intention, a claim shall not be assigned: Provided, That such declaration of intention, cannot be set up against a third person acting in good faith” Regarding the interpretation of this subsection, the existing majority theory and precedents interpret that if there is a special agreement on prohibition of transfer, the transferability of the claim is lost and the transfer of the claim does not occur, but in order to protect the safety of the transaction, the invalidity cannot be claimed against a bona fide third party. This is referred to as the property effectiveness theory. However, on the grounds that improving the property character and transferability of claims is an international trend, the claim effectiveness theory is strongly asserted, which interprets that the transfer of receivables with a special agreement on transfer prohibition is valid, but the debtor can refuse performance against the malicious assignee. Accordingly, an opinion on amendment to subsection 449(2) of the Civil Act was presented.
However, the claim effectiveness theory has the following questions.
First, because the current subsection of Civil Act explicitly stipulates that “non-transferability”, it is questionable that this subsection may be interpreted as “transferability.” The reason why the Civil Law has a separate provision on the special agreement for the prohibition of the transfer of receivables is that if the principle of relativity of claims is applied to the transfer of receivables, it may break the trust of the debtor who believed in the special agreement for the prohibition of the transfer of claims, and if the effect of the special agreement for the prohibition of the transfer of receivables is only applied to the contracting parties because it cannot affect a third party, the principle of relativity of claims cannot be adhered.
Second, the claim effectiveness theory is thought to be an interpretation that overemphasizes the interests of the creditor and the transferee in relation to effect of transfer of receivables with special agreement for prohibition of transfer. It is the creditor and the debtor who have to weigh the profits in relation to effect of transfer of receivables with special agreement for prohibition of transfer, so it would not be reasonable to overemphasize the interests of the transferee.
Third, the claim effectiveness theory explains that transfer of receivables with special agreement for prohibition of transfer is valid, and the creditor only needs to impose liability for default on the violation of the special contract for non-transfer. However, if the creditor's default is liable to the damages which debtor does not suffer damages, the claim for damages against the creditor will be of no practical benefit. Therefore, it is not appropriate as a legal responsibility for the violation of special agreement for prohibition of transfer.…

Teoria contingencial e teoria institucional: um estudo de caso em um pequeno escritório contábil de Santo André
Authors: Firmino Giovana Garcia
Published: April 2023

Este estudo pretende analisar uma organização contábil do ponto de vista da teoria da contingência e da teoria institucional, a primeira explicando os fatores externos e a segunda explicando os fatores internos que afetam a estrutura das organizações contábeis. Por meio de estudo de caso realizado em um pequeno escritório contábil de Santo André busca-se analisar se as alterações normativas, de legislação e tecnológicas ocorridas a partir de 2007 no cenário das organizações contábeis são fatores contingenciais e qual é a estrutura organizacional que esta organização apresenta. Além disso, é feita uma análise do nível de institucionalização das normas contábeis nesta organização. As conclusões deste estudo apontam que a entidade estuda possui uma estrutura muito centralizada, o que não é adequado para as organizações contábeis. Também constatou-se que a organização estudada encontram-se no estágio de semi-institucionalização das normas contábeis, fase um pouco atrasada em relação ao apresentado pela teoria.
Comportamento dos coordenadores de curso no combate à evasão de alunos no ensino superior: uma comparação entre duas ies de naturezas diferentes
Authors: Corrêa dos Santos Marcos Aurélio , Cotta Celso
Published: April 2023

Este trabalho buscou investigar e comparar o comportamento de coordenadores de cursos de graduação de duas Instituições de ensino superior (IES) de perfis diferentes, no que tange ao combate à evasão - uma IES confessional sem fins lucrativos e que oferece cursos na modalidade de ensino presencial e uma IES privada com finalidade lucrativa que oferta cursos na modalidade EAD. Destarte, tratou-se de verificar se o comportamento dos coordenadores de IES de naturezas distintas, se diferem no combate ao fenômeno, bem como saber se há nas instituições, ações estruturadas para combater a evasão. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, por corte transversal único, apoiada em entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas presencialmente e de maneira individual nas respectivas IES. Os resultados mostram que o comportamento dos coordenadores entrevistados, não se difere nas atitudes e discursos, mas que as IES sim, possuem posturas diferentes, embora ambas apresentem problemas no enfrentamento da questão. Dado que a evasão é um problema presente no cenário educacional brasileiro, abre-se espaço para novas pesquisas e para o debate sobre processos institucionais e posturas pessoais de gestores no combate ao fenômeno.

How Not to Get Stuck in an Art-Ovrag: Tourism-phobia and Modern Coping Strategies
Authors: Bugrova Ekaterina
Published: April 2023

At the post-tourism stage, the attitude towards travel perceived as a way to get a unique experience and associated with a kind of game is changing. Along with this, destinations also begin to be perceived differently – as something modelled in accordance with the expectations of the tourist and their subjective ideas about local culture, which inevitably leads to conflicts with the local population, who do not want to adapt to the needs of “strangers”. The protest against the exploitation of local identity and excessive tourist flow has led to the emergence of tourism-phobia, which takes on various forms – from reflecting a negative attitude towards tourists in various languages to anti-tourist public organisations. Overcoming the fear of visitors who can change the usual way of life and impose a new identity becomes one of the most important elements for the successful development of tourism in a destination. In this regard, cases of cities that are gaining popularity among niche tourists are of particular interest. The article considers the examples of Magnitogorsk and Vyksa, two metallurgical monotowns – leaders of Russian industrial tourism. The author demonstrates that the presence of a historically established image known outside the city can reduce the risk of tourism-phobia, while as a result of the lack of explicit self-representation, inauthentic attractors arise (such as the Art-Ovrag / Vyksa Festival), which are attractive to tourists but rejected by the local community, which becomes an obstacle to the harmonious development of tourism and hospitality in a particular location. Building communication with the locals which helps demonstrate the positive aspects of the inevitable transformation, the search for compromises and the formation of industrial pride is the key to levelling the negative effects of tourism and the successful implementation of creative projects in industrial single-industry towns.
The Annihilation of Sympathy in English-Language Journalistic Texts
Authors: Polikarpov Alexander , Vlasova Alexandra
Published: April 2023

This article examines empathy annihilation in English-language journalistic texts. As a rule, this type of text is characterised by two indispensable factors: informativeness and impact on the recipients of the information. According to linguists’ traditional views, journalistic texts possess expressiveness, emotionality of language units, the author’s openness in relation to the recipients, and specific vocabulary. Following the famous Soviet and Russian linguist V. G. Kostomarov, the authors of this article admit that the specificity of journalistic texts is formed by the combination of the standard and expression. The article explores the conditions of sympathy annihilation in the communicative behaviour of Americans with reference to journalistic texts of American Internet publications. The article verifies the researchers’ thesis that Americans tend to show empathy towards their close people and dealing with strangers, participants of communication in the USA usually show restraint. The authors refer to the theory of compassion annihilation of American psychologist P. Slovic and suggest that it be transferred to the situation of empathy expression/non-expression due to the similarity of the given emotiogenic factors. The study demonstrates that empathy annihilation in American journalistic texts can cause the following situations: a positive effect of this phenomenon (self-care); empathic care (care for others); perceived impact (mutual intention of the communicating people not to show empathy towards each other).
Explanatory settings of the development of resilience in public administration supply networks
Authors: Santos Laysse Fernanda Macêdo dos , Martins Ricardo Silveira , Freitas Jonathan Simões
Published: April 2023

Abstract Social capital is an important theoretical lens for explaining interorganizational relationships and building resilience in supply networks. This study corroborates this perspective, aiming to identify which attributes of social capital contribute to explaining the development of resilience in public administration supply networks and how they combine in this explanation. A qualitative and descriptive research was carried out, using interviews with the repertoire grid technique for data collection. Data were analyzed using Honey’s content analysis and coincidence analysis (CNA). The research results indicate that social capital proved to be fundamental to developing resilience in supply networks in public administration, through the attributes of sharing technical information, precision in communication, anticipation in communicating relevant information, reciprocity, trust, transparency, and commitment. The originality of the study lies in the use of social capital theory in studies on resilience in public administration and in the adoption of a robust data collection and analysis method that has not yet been explored in research in Brazilian public administration. The main contributions of the study were: (1) to highlight social capital as a multilevel construct that influences the development of resilience, (2) to expand studies on resilience in public administration, (3) to provide information that public managers can use to avoid or minimize the risks that jeopardize the provision of public services, and (4) to adopt an unprecedented research method in the Brazilian public administration.
Patrones y factores impulsores de cambios en la calidad del agua asociados a embalses en los Andes tropicales
Authors: Winton Robert Scott , López-Casas Silvia , Valencia-Rodríguez Daniel , Bernal-Forero Camilo , Delgado Juliana , Wehrli Bernhard , Jiménez-Segura Luz
Published: April 2023

Los Andes tropicales son una zona de alta biodiversidad, que constantemente se enfrenta a la presión del desarrollo hidroeléctrico. Sin embargo, los efectos de los embalses en los ecosistemas fluviales de la regióninfluenciados por cambios fisicoquímicos en la calidad del agua son poco conocidos. Colombia es el único país en América del Sur que gestiona bases de datos ambientales públicos y centralizados, allí se incluyen conjuntos de datos sobre la calidad de aguas superficiales asociados a la vigilancia medioambiental de las represas. Para evaluar las relaciones entre las condiciones de los ríos en Colombia con relación a las centrales hidroeléctricas, analizamos los datos de monitoreo asociados con 15 represas, enfocándonos en la disponibilidad de oxígeno, el régimen térmico y la pérdida de sedimentos; ya que estas propiedades están influenciadas directamente por la construcción de represas en los ríos, e imponen restricciones fundamentales en la estructura de los ecosistemas acuáticos aguas abajo de la presa. Encontramos que en la mayoría de los embalses en Colombia (7 de 10) se reducen estacionalmente grandes porcentajes de las concentraciones de sólidos suspendidos totales (50-99%) debido a la captura de sedimentos. Adicionalmente, la mayoría de los embalses (8 de 15), a través de la descarga de aguas superficiales a mayor temperatura, aumentan estacionalmente las temperaturas del río (entre 2 y 4 °C) con respecto a las condiciones aguas arriba. Un subconjunto de cuatro represas genera hipoxia aguas abajo (<4 mg L-1), y aguas más frías que la de los flujos entrantes (entre 2 y 5 °C), ambos procesos impulsados por la turbinación y descarga de aguas hipolimnéticas frías y anóxicas durante los períodos de estratificación del embalse. Es probable que la dependencia de los datos de monitoreo nos lleve a subestimar los impactos, porque muchos de los ríos solo se monitorean una o dos veces al año y es posible detectar los cambios temporales entre las estaciones y los días (es decir, en respuesta al hydropeaking). A pesar de estos puntos ciegos, los datos de monitoreo representan algunas oportunidades para que los planificadores y las empresas hidroeléctricas mitiguen los impactos ecológicos río abajo. Estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de implementar esquemas de seguimientos medioambientales asociados con la infraestructura hidrológica en los países en vía de desarrollo.
Indigofera morroensis (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae): A New Species from the Drylands of Northeastern Brazil
Authors: Paulo Rita de Cássia Alves Menezes São , Snak Cristiane , Queiroz Luciano Paganucci de
Published: April 2023

Abstract— Indigofera is a genus of the tribe Indigofereae (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae), with approximately 750 species distributed across tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In Brazil, the genus is associated mostly with the seasonally dry biomes
of Caatinga and Cerrado, where 12 out of the 13 species recorded in Brazil occur. A close examination of the morphological variation in the Caatinga species showed that more than one species could be identified among the specimens referred to as I. blanchetiana. We thus propose the
new species I. morroensis, which is distinguishable from I. blanchetiana by its habit, the number, shape, and hairiness of leaflets, and shape of the fruit. Indigofera morroensis occurs on sand dunes of the Morro do Chapéu municipality in Bahia state
and its conservation status was assessed as Endangered. We provide the description, illustration, taxonomic comments, and distribution map for this new species, as well as an identification key for the species from Northeastern Brazil, including those that occur in the Caatinga.
Taxonomic Novelties from the Espinhaço Septentrional: Two New Species of Pleroma and the First Records of Melastomataceae from the Morro das Marombas, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Published: April 2023

Abstract— During a botanical expedition carried out by the Centro Nacional de Conservação da Flora to northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, the first records of Melastomataceae were catalogued for the Morro das Marombas, in the Serra de Montevidéu, situated
on the Espinhaço Septentrional. These first records and an identification key for the melastomes from Morro das Marombas are presented. Among these records, the first collection of Marcetia viscida is documented in Minas Gerais, and two new microendemic species of Pleroma
were found and are described and illustrated here. Pleroma congestifolium resembles three congeners from the Cerrado of Minas Gerais (P. ferricolum, P. martinellii, and P. trinervium) to which it is compared, and their morphological relationships and differences
are discussed. Pleroma martinellii is a remarkable new species, and it can be morphologically approximated to two species (P. congestifolium and P. velutinum) from the Cerrado of Minas Gerais and Bahia. Preliminarily, we suggest the Deficient Data category as the
conservation status for both species.

Abstract— A new species of Evolvulus from the Brazilian Cerrado, a savanna biodiversity hotspot, is described here. Evolvulus aureus sp. nov. is similar to E. passerinoides, both found in Cerrado, and share erect stems (also decumbent
in E. passerinoides), branched at the base, leaves spiral, flat, with acute apex and leaf base rounded, and axillary flowers. They can be distinguished by the indument type and by its color when herborized, shape of the leaf blade, visibility of secondary veins, sepal length, and anther
shape. This new species is circumscribed into E. sect. Passerinoidei based on erect stem, axillary and solitary flowers, and funnelform corolla. A diagnosis, morphological description, illustrations, taxonomic notes, informal conservation status, distribution map, and an identification
key are provided. Keywords—Biodiversity, Cresseae, endemic species, Neotropics, Savanna.
Ecological and Evolutionary Origin ofCostus flammulus(Costaceae): A New Species from the Montane Cloud Forests of the Volcanic Cordilleras in Northern Costa Rica

Published: April 2023

Abstract—Costus flammulusis a new herbaceous species endemic to montane cloud forests of the volcanic cordilleras in northern Costa Rica.Costus flammulushas been mistaken forC. wilsonii, but phylogenetic evidence demonstrates that it is closely related to the widespread lowland speciesC. pulverulentus. Here, we use an integrated framework of species concepts to evaluate whetherC. flammulusandC. pulverulentusare distinct species. First, we re-evaluate prior phylogenetic analyses to assess whetherC. flammulusbifurcated from or budded off from withinC. pulverulentusand whetherC. flammulusis monophyletic. We then compare phenotypic traits to determine which diagnostic vegetative and inflorescence traits can be used to identify species in herbarium specimens and examine whether floral traits may confer floral isolation. We compare pollinator assemblages to examine whether pollinator specificity may contribute to reproductive isolation. Finally, we model species distributions and climatic niche overlap to assess ecogeographic isolation. We found thatC. flammulusis a monophyletic species phenotypically, ecologically, and geographically distinct fromC. pulverulentusand may have speciated as a peripheral isolate at the high elevation range edge ofC. pulverulentus. Several lines of evidence, such asC. pulverulentusparaphyly, range size asymmetry, andC. flammulus’nested distribution and vegetative traits, suggest thatC. flammulusbudded off from aC. pulverulentus‐like progenitor species, evolving to tolerate a colder and more seasonal montane environment.

Authors: Aghdam Asghar Dabiri , Dabanloo Nader Jafarnia , Rahatabad Fereidoun Nooshiravan , Maghooli Keivan
Published: April 2023

This paper presents the design and simulation of an Interval type 2 fuzzy system (IT2FS) based, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) pacemaker controller in MATLAB. After designing the type 1 fuzzy logic model, the stability of the designed system has been verified in the time-domain (unit step response). In previous works, the type 1 (IT1FS) model step response was analyzed. They are compared with the other proportional integral derivative (PID) and fuzzy models that only least-square-estimation and the backpropagation algorithms are used for tuning membership functions (MF) and generation of type 1 fis (fuzzy inference system) file. At current work, fuzzy C means (FCM) method shows better results than other methods have been used. The pacemaker controller determines the pacing rate and adjusts the heart rate of the patient for the reference input signal. The rise-time, overshoot and settling-time have been improved significantly.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF ENGINEERING IDENTITY IN DEPARTMENTAL MAGAZINES
Authors: Doran Erin E. , Hengesteg Paul S. , Updegraff Amy , Rodriguez Sarah L.
Published: April 2023

The literature on university marketing materials suggests that institutions of higher education often
commodify diversity in order to encourage students from minoritized groups to submit applications to
these schools. Drawing from this literature, this study utilized one electrical and computer engineering
department's alumni magazine over 16 years to analyze the implicit and explicit ways an ideal engineer is depicted. Drawing on previously published work on engineering identity development and critical race theory, this study utilized critical discourse analysis to uncover how nearly 20 years of departmental publications privilege certain key players in the department (i.e., faculty and successful alumni) over others (i.e., undergraduates, women students, and students of color) and portray students from minoritized backgrounds in problematic ways that may undermine efforts to broaden
participation.
DECISIVE ROLE OF MICROSTRAINS IN THE FORMATION OF THE DOMAIN STRUCTURE IN MULTIWALL CARBON NANOTUBES
Authors: Bobenko Nadezhda , Egorushkin Valeriy , Ponomarev Alexander , Belosludtseva Anna
Published: April 2023

The present paper deals with the structure of carbon nanotubes of various diameters. The results of X-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy are analyzed in detail. It is shown that the studied carbon nanotubes have one or several types of domain boundaries (zigzag, armchair). The role of uniaxial microstrains in the formation of the domain structure in carbon nanotubes is great. The number of significant independent microstrains determines the number of the domain types in
the MWCNT structure. Tubes experiencing only the εzz strain have a single-domain structure. Multiwall
carbon nanotubes with strains εzz and εxx have a multi-domain structure. Non-equilibrium
microstrains at interfaces during energy dissipation can lead to the hysteresis of thermal and mechanical
properties.
Integrated effects of inherent and induced anisotropy on reliquefaction resistance of Toyoura sand with different strain histories
Authors: Fardad Amini Pedram , Wang Gang
Published: April 2023

Recent earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan showed that pre-shaking histories significantly affected the reliquefaction resistance of soils. In this study, a series of experimental tests was conducted to elucidate the coupled effects of inherent and induced anisotropy on reliquefaction resistance of Toyoura sand, which have not been studied before. Accordingly, loose and dense Toyoura sands were prepared with two different methods: dry deposition and moist tamping. The specimens were sheared cyclically using a hollow cylinder torsional shear apparatus under various cyclic stress ratios up to different residual shear strains (γres) and reconsolidated at different states. The experimental results were assessed from various perspectives, including stress–strain relationships, failure mechanisms, liquefaction/reliquefaction resistance, excess pore water pressure (EPWP) generation and compressibility in conjunction with micromechanical interpretations. It was shown that fabric evolution affects the reliquefaction characteristics of Toyoura sand substantially. Interestingly, a unique correlation exists between EPWP and shear strain accumulation for all tests. An energy-based model was developed to uniquely correlate the dissipated energy with the cyclic resistance based only on residual shear strains; this model shows great promise to develop a unified, energy-based criterion for quantifying the liquefaction/reliquefaction resistance of soils with different fabrics.
Representation of Racial and Ethnic Minorities in Nephrology Clinical Trials: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Soomro Qandeel H. , McCarthy Angela , Varela Dalila , Keane Colin , Ways Javaughn , Charytan Amalya M. , Ramos Giana , Nicholson Joey , Charytan David M.
Published: April 2023

Significance statement

Racial and ethnic disparities in clinical trial enrollment are well described. However, whether these disparities are present in nephrology randomized clinical trials has not been previously reported. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of 380 randomized clinical trials involving different aspects of kidney disease published between 2000 and 2021. Our results indicate that worldwide reporting of race and ethnicity is poor and that White individuals account for most of the randomized participants with decreased enrollment of Black participants in more recent trials. However, trials conducted in the United States have representation of Black and Hispanic participants consistent with the population prevalence of disease and under-representation of Asian participants.

Background

Under-representation of racial and ethnic minorities in clinical trials could worsen disparities, but reporting and enrollment practices in nephrology randomized clinical trials have not been described.

Methods

PubMed was searched to capture randomized clinical trials for five kidney disease–related conditions published between 2000 and 2021 in ten high-impact journals. We excluded trials with <50 participants and pilot trials. Outcomes of interest were the proportion of trials reporting race and ethnicity and the proportions of enrolled participants in each race and ethnicity category.

Results

Among 380 trials worldwide, race was reported in just over half and ethnicity in 12%. Most enrolled participants were White, and Black individuals accounted for ≤10% of participants except in dialysis trials where they accounted for 26% of participants. However, Black participants were enrolled at high proportions relative to disease and population prevalence in US CKD, dialysis, and transplant trials representing 19% of participants in AKI, 26% in CKD, 44% in GN, 40% in dialysis, and 26% in transplant trials. Enrollment of Asian participants was low worldwide except in GN trials with marked under-representation in US CKD, dialysis, and transplant trials. Hispanic individuals represented only 13% of participants in US dialysis trials compared with 29% of US dialysis population.

Conclusion

More complete reporting of race and ethnicity in nephrology trials is needed. Black and Hispanic patients are well-represented in kidney disease trials in the United States. Asian patients are poorly represented in kidney trials both globally and in the United States.

One of the biggest issues receiving attention recently on a global scale is climate change. In the Paris Agreement, it is necessary to maintain the average annual temperature increase of the Earth below 2°C to cope with climate change, and to this end, it was decided to establish and implement goals and strategies for each country. Consequently, carbon neutrality movements have been identified in Korea, with Busan serving as a prime example. As one of the cities with the highest carbon emissions among the world's major port cities, Busan has set a goal of reducing carbon by 47% compared to 2018. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to first calculate the carbon emission of the tourism industry in Busan through a top-down method to achieve carbon neutrality. Second, we intend to derive comparisons and implications for each industry through the calculated carbon emission. As a result of the study, it was found that about 690,000 tCO2eq was emitted as of 2015 when building an inventory and calculating carbon emissions through the Busan tourism satellite account. By single inventory, “wholesale and retail and product brokerage services” were the highest at 24.5%, followed by “road transportation services” at 19.8%, and “air transportation services” at 19.6%. The implication of this study is that carbon emission calculation using the top-down method laid the groundwork for a future study on carbon emission calculation using the bottom-up method. In addition, it is believed that reflecting industrial characteristics when establishing policies based on the results of calculating carbon emissions by industry can contribute to more realistic policy formation.

The inter-Korean summits and North Korea-United States summits held in 2018 brought a significant opportunity for peace on the Korean Peninsular and showed hope for a new chapter in inter-Korean cooperation. Despite recent tensions, inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation are still necessary, and tourism cooperation discussions are ongoing. This study aims to develop standards and priorities for the evaluation criteria of inter-Korean tourism cooperation projects in order to ensure their validity and promote effective and long-lasting cooperation between South and North Korea. Adopting a perspective of international development cooperation, five factors and twenty-nine indicators were derived as evaluation criteria for inter-Korean tourism cooperation projects, based on relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability - the standard evaluation criteria for official development assistance (ODA) projects. Using an AHP analysis, it was determined that the relevance factor was the most important. “conformity to Korea-related policies and priorities,” “validity of project goals,” “conformity with North Korean demand and policy priorities,” “contribution to achievement of North Korean economic and social development goals,” and “overall institutional change or reinforcement” are the most significant indicators. This study discusses theoretical and policy implications for inter-Korean tourism studies and tourism cooperation projects based on its findings.

The relevance Due to constantly changing market conditions, high decision-making speed, multitasking and the need to reduce risks, more and more modern approaches are required in the organizational activities of enterprises. Currently, companies have begun to actively migrate to the digital space, creating and developing their information systems with remote access support. According to the survey results of the TAdviser portal, 35 % of companies have transferred more than 50 % of their employees to a remote or hybrid work format. Another 18 % of respondents shared that in their companies 25 % to 50 % of employees work remotely. However, the control of robotic systems requires periodic monitoring. To manage such platforms, enterprises need to create interfaces and provide them with remote access. Therefore, using a chatbot as an interface for remote access to mobile robots can provide an alternative solution to this problem. The use of chatbots provides user service around the clock, which allows you to instantly receive the necessary information, collect data and automate the process of interaction between the user and the robot. Aim of research The main aim of the research is to explore the possibility of using a chatbot to provide remote access to inaccessible or hard-to-reach places for humans. Design and create an information system for research. Research methods To achieve the study aim, it was decided to conduct a physical simulation. A certain technical composition for the mobile platform was chosen and a chat bot was written to interact with the robot. Results A chatbot has been developed and manufactured with which you can control the movement of the robot and connect to its camera. It was decided to use Python as the main programming language.

The relevance The installed capacity of renewable energy sources increases annually relative to the total installed capacity. Features of work inherent in renewable energy installations modify the nature of transient processes in electric power systems during emergency modes. A number of authors, when studying the operation of renewable sources as part of the energy system, consider the parallel operation of renewable sources with a powerful electric power system, and also do not take into account the drive motors of power plant generators. In this paper, the study of transient processes is carried out in an isolated electric power system with renewable energy sources, the power of which is comparable to the power of classical generators. This work is dedicated to the study of transient processes in an isolated electric power system with renewable energy sources, the power of which is comparable to the power of classical generators. The research takes into account the model of a synchronous generator drive motor and its control system, configured in accordance with applicable requirements and standards. Aim of research The main aim of the research is to assess the impact of renewable energy sources on the operating modes of an isolated gas turbine power plant during emergency disturbances. Research methods To achieve the main aim of the research the method of the simulation mathematical modeling in Matlab/Simulink was used.
