Authors: KORKUT UYSAL Sıla Övgü , İMAMOĞLU KARABAŞ Neslişah , BAŞBINAR Yasemin
Published: September 2021

Objectives: Cancer which is one of the most challenging health problems overall the world is composed of various processes: tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Attempting to understand the truth behind this complicated disease is one of the common objectives of many experts and researchers from different fields. To provide deeper insights any prognostic and/or diagnostic scientific contribution to this topic is so crucial. In this study, the avascular tumor growth model which is the earliest stage of tumor growth is taken into account from a mathematical point of view. The main aim is to solve the mathematical model of avascular tumor growth numerically.
Methods: This study has focused on the numerical solution of the continuum mathematical model of the avascular tumor growth described by Sharrett and Chaplin. Unlike the existing recent literature, the study has focused on the methods for the temporal domain. To obtain the numerical schemes the central difference method has been used in the spatial coordinates. This discretization technique has reduced the main partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation which will be solved successively by two alternative techniques: the 4th order Runge-Kutta method (RK4) and the three-stage strongly-stability preserving Runge-Kutta method (SSP-RK3).
Results: The model has been solved by the proposed methods. The numerical results are discussed in both mathematical and biological angles. The biological compatibility of the methods is depicted in various figures. Besides biological outputs, the accuracies of the methods have been listed from a mathematical point of view. Furthermore, the rate of convergence of the proposed methods has also been discussed computationally.
Conclusion: All recorded results are evidence that the proposed schemes are applicable for solving such models. Moreover, all exhibited figures have proved the biological compatibility of the methods. It is observed that the quiescent cells which are one of the most mysterious cells in clinics tend to become proliferative for the selected parameters.
Quo Vadis Komisi Nasional Disabilitas?
Authors: Rosdianti Yeni
Published: September 2021

Pengesahan Peraturan Presiden Nomor 68 Tahun 2020 tentang Komisi Nasional Disabilitas telah menimbulkan kekhawatiran di kalangan pegiat disabilitas secara nasional. Penempatan Sekretariat Komisi Nasional Disabilitas di bawah Kementerian Sosial ini memunculkan kembali pertentangan tentang konsep disabilitas sebagai urusan sosial terhadap konsep disabilitas sebagai urusan hak asasi manusia. Makalah ini menggunakan tinjauan yuridis normatif yang menerapkan pendekatan deduktif dalam menganalisis data dan peraturan perundang-undangan terkait. Makalah ini menguraikan pendekatan berbasis hak asasi manusia dalam menelaah pembentukan Komisi Nasional Disabilitas sebagaimana diamanatkan Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 2016 tentang Penyandang Disabilitas. Selain itu, telaah ini juga merujuk pada konsep yang terbaru dan komprehensif dari United Nations Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) serta Prinsip-prinsip Paris (Paris Principles) sebagai ‘soft law’ yang secara khusus berisi ketentuan pembentukan Lembaga Nasional Hak Asasi Manusia. Studi ini menemukan bahwa Peraturan Presiden Nomor 68 Tahun 2020 tentang Komisi Nasional Disabilitas (KND) kurang sejalan dengan tujuan keseluruhan pendekatan disabilitas berbasis hak asasi manusia. Selain itu, makalah ini menyarankan untuk memperkuat KND melalui mandat yang luas yang menetapkan komposisi dan lingkup kompetensinya, dengan mempertimbangkan disabilitas sebagai urusan lintas bidang, bukan hanya urusan sosial semata. Lembaga nasional ini harus memiliki kompetensi untuk memajukan dan melindungi hak asasi manusia.

Published: September 2021

Kerja sama ekonomi bilateral China dengan Republik Demokratik Kongo (Kongo) telah disepakati melalui Collaboration Agreement pada tahun 2008. Pemerintah China menjanjikan bahwa kerja sama tersebut akan membawa manfaat bagi kesejahteraan penduduk lokal melalui pembangunan infrastruktur di Kongo. Meskipun demikian, perjanjian kerjasama tersebut justru menuai kontroversi dikarenakan beberapa analisis yang menunjukkan adanya pengabaian terhadap perlindungan HAM di Kongo oleh perusahaan konsorsium China. Kajian ini didesain dengan metode penelitian kualitatif dan bertujuan untuk menganalisis apakah Perjanjian Kolaborasi PRC-DRC 2008 sesuai dengan prinsip HAM universal. Dengan menggunakan metode analisa isi (content analysis), peneliti mengumpulkan data dengan menelaah isi dari perjanjian kerjasama tersebut. Ditemukan bahwa meskipun pemerintah China menegaskan komitmennya untuk mendukung pembangunan manusia di Afrika namun komitmen tersebut justru tidak muncul dalam Perjanjian Kolaborasi yang memayungi kerjasama bilateral China dan Kongo dalam eksplorasi mineral. Tulisan ini juga mengemukakan bahwa hasil penambangan mineral untuk infrastruktur tidak sesuai dengan win-win solution yang kemudian dapat memperburuk pembangunan manusia di Kongo. Perusahaan pertambangan China yang tampak mengabaikan risiko mempekerjakan anak sebagai tenaga kerja murah berpotensi memperburuk komitmen China pada hak asasi manusia. Dianalisis dari sisi kepentingan nasional China, kepentingan bisnis dan perdagangan tetap menjadi prioritas utama daripada kepatuhan pada prinsip universal hak asasi manusia

Lessons On-(the)-Line Blended Learning and Pedagogy of (the) Digitally Oppressed
Authors: Gairola Rahul
Published: September 2021

In this essay, I explore the meanings and implications of blended learning in an era of global pandemic by extending Paulo Freire’s notion of a “pedagogy of the oppressed” into the digital milieu and COVID-19 era of the 21st century. In doing so, I critically meditate on how Freire’s cue is reformulated in the context of online teaching while situating questions about online learning in the context of the Blended Learning Online South Africa (BLOSA) project based at the University of Witwatersrand. I do so as a means for tracking how, in material practice, blended learning operates in the context of knowledge dissemination and postcolonial poverty.

An initial discussion on the importance of formative assessment practices that integrate digital tools is followed by a detailed description of the methodological principles of portfolios and how to design them, and how to integrate the digital component in its design. We conclude that assessment as reading, as opposed to the traditional summative assessment of reading, is a promising area of innovation in the pedagogy of the Humanities.
Always Flipped? A Peer-Centred Cycle for Teaching and Learning in the English Literature Class
Authors: Gordon Colette
Published: September 2021

In English departments, the default literary pedagogy of ‘read and discuss’ renders student performance particularly vulnerable to shortfalls in the area of deep reading. Where students rely on online content resources before reading literary texts, they effectively flip the class, decreasing rather than increasing active learning. This article presents a blended model for mitigating this trend by means of a reciprocal peer learning feedback loop. The Peer-Centred Cycle minimises direct instruction online or in class, and uses an online-to-classroom feedback loop to shift the majority of classroom activity to reciprocal peer learning, distinguishing it from both flipped classroom pedagogies, as well as from RPL as an occasional classroom strategy.
Heritage Thinking. Approaching Communities with Communication in the Venice Countryside
Authors: Corrò Elisa
Published: September 2021

Digital and Cultural Heritage studies reinforced the meaning to communicate and make creative use of information to express complex data. Moreover, the power of narratives and re-living memories lead to the creation of a series of emotional events. This paper focuses on a series of case-studies regarding the interplay between society and the landscapes around Venice (Italy), and the way cultural memory is encoded and interpreted. The communities’ engagement is reinforced by the use of a citizen-science approach, which aims at facilitating the dialogue, sharing knowledge and involving citizens in academic research and dissemination of results.
Having the cake and eating it too: the benefits of decoupling Australia’s trade governance in Europe after Brexit and beyond
Authors: Treisman David , Di Lieto Giovanni
Published: September 2021

The process towards Brexit will impact on the entire global trading system and significantly influence the global value chains that rely on ease of trade and investment within a single European market. In light of this process, Australia with its high levels of international economic integration and interdependency of trade and investment to and from the European region, now faces a stark challenge in forging an economic position that best suits its national interests. This paper analyses the possible implications of Brexit on Australia’s economic governance position, with specific regard to the global value chains that rely on ease of trade and investments in the European single market. The exploration relies on empirical analysis that distinguishes between and disaggregates data on Australian trade and investment with the UK and the rest of the European Union. This analysis indicates that it is in Australia’s best interest is to prioritise a preferential partnership with the EU over a new free trade agreement with the UK. However, in order to maximise Australia’s position, the paper argues that, under the present political climate and technical difficulties, a multi-pronged and decoupled approach of concerted unilateralism with the UK and preferential bilateralism with the EU is best placed to enhance Australia’s geo-economic role in Europe in the post-Brexit era.
Geological evolution of the northern Mid Kuril trough based on seismic facies analysis
Authors:   Dalmorneftegeophysica JSC, Zhigulev V.V. , Zhigulev A.V. ,   Dalmorneftegeophysica JSC
Published: September 2021

The model of geological evolution of an interarc basin, which is the north-east ending of Mid Kuril trough located on the continental slope of Kuril-Kamchatka trench, was constructed. Seismic facies analysis was first applied to define sedimentation conditions in a deep water trench. The analysis was based on the 2D CDP reflection seismic data obtained by Dalmorneftegeophysica JSC in 2014. According to the modeling results, the basin began to form in the Late Cretaceous and passed several stages. Initial subsidence of a local crust area of the incipient basin changed over to its further separation from the adjacent waters of the Sea of Okhotsk and Pacific Ocean by various volcanic formations framing its contour. The basin waters and the Pacific Ocean waters merged as a result of subsidence and submersion of volcanic structures on the east basin framing at the final stage during the Oligocene-Middle Miocene. This subsidence is directly related to the global processes associated with Kuril-Kamchatka ocean trench appearance such as inherent crust subsidence along valley bottom line accompanied by increase in inclination angle of its flanks. It was concluded that the trench origination time approximately corresponds to the Oligocene-Middle Miocene boundary.
SUCCESSION AS AN ECONOMIC AND MORAL BASIS FOR MOSCOW MERCHANT FAMILY FIRMS’ ACTIVITIES (19TH — EARLY 20TH CENTURY)
Authors:   Institute of Russian History of the RAS, Ulianova Galina N.
Published: September 2021

In economic history, succession is considered as one of the factors of a long-term commercial activity. In the 19th century, first of all, this is succession in the work of the family firm. Exploring the history of entrepreneurship in this sense would mean studying, first, the succession of economic activity (including intergenerational transfers of assets), and, second, the institutional succession, including the rules and regulations procedures in management of industrial and commercial enterprises, based on moral principles. The intergenerational transition of the family business was not only based on the legislation requirements and depended on the composition of the family, it also took into account ethical norms aimed at stabilizing the merchant family’s entrepreneurial activity. The article focuses on different aspects of succession in the merchant family’s activity, including the influence of the factor of the family business longevity on formation of entrepreneurs’ self-identity, an understanding the importance of the topographic factor in business relations with constant customers. It also analyzes intra-family agreements, which were created to ensure the stability of the family business, the reflection of ideas about the continuity of business in the texts of wills is also considered. Great importance was attached to the institutional consolidation and strengthening of the family firms’ property assets. Drawing upon materials from archival sources, the article examines the histories of large Moscow firms of the Bakhrushins, Khludovs, Tretyakovs, Nosovs, Naydenovs, Samgins, Zimins, which activities in industry and trade numbered from four to six generations over a century.
THE ECOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF EARLY NEOLITHIC INNOVATIONS IN THE NORTH OF WESTERN SIBERIA
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Вranch of the RAS, Chairkina Nataliуa M. , Piezonka Henny ,   Institute of Pre- and Protohistorical Archaeology, Christian Albrechts University Kiel
Published: September 2021

In the mid-7th — early 6th millennium BC at the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition, a number of innovations appeared in the lifeways of people in the West Siberian taiga, including the first appearance of pottery (the defining criterion for the onset of the Neolithic), the intensification of the subsistence economy with an increasing role of aquatic resources, and the transition to a less mobile lifestyle. These innovations were reflected in the construction of long-term open and few fortified settlements, including circular layouts and the construction of ritual mounds (kholmy). These improvements attest to significant changes in subsistence economy as well as worldviews of the hunter-fisher-gatherers of the taiga zone of West Siberia. The emergence of these innovations chronologically coincides with the most prominent global climatic cooling event of the Holocene, which took place around 6.2 thousand years cal BC (the so-called 8.2 ka BP event) and had a substantial impact on the ancient societies of Europe and Southwest Asia. To reconstruct the paleoclimate of northern West Siberia, the most informative source to date are peatbogs, which contain, as a rule, complete sedimentation sequences of all Holocene periods, allowing a greater degree of reliability in using scientific methods in paleogeographical reconstructions. This article reviews current evidence on features and age of the peat formation process and additional information on the Early Holocene paleoclimatic developments in northern West Siberia. The preliminary data indicate that favourable climatic conditions led to balanced and probably abundant environmental resources in the early Atlantic period. At the same time, the sparsely populated territory might have seen the arrival of new population groups into the region, which might have introduced or triggered a number of socio-economic innovations such as the construction of fortified settlements with complex layouts and the tradition of clay pottery manufacture.
NATURAL AND CLIMATIC CRISIS OF THE 4TH BC AND THE CHANGE OF THE SOUTHERN URAL NOMADS’ POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STRATEGY
Authors:   South Ural State University (National Research University), Tairov Alexander D.
Published: September 2021

A political and economic strategy is one of the forms of social adaptation to external conditions unconsciously or consciously adopted in the society. There are two main political and economic strategies in all types of societies from states to groups and at different levels of social integration (from households and above): network and corporate ways. But only one of them can dominate under specific historical conditions. The adopted political and economic strategy may be clearly seen in the funeral ritual of the society. The archaeological indicators of the network strategy are one-grave kurgans, monumental burial structures, a magnificent burial rite, a wealth of grave goods, including a large number of precious objects, a significant number of “priestly” burials of various ranks. The indicators of the corporate strategy are the multi-burial mounds, the absence of large burial structures, the simplicity and standardization of burial structures, rituals and grave goods. The main efforts of society are directed at the construction of monumental public buildings, primarily sanctuaries and temples, which symbolized the community as a whole. A dramatic change in the funeral ritual may also reflect a change in political and economic strategy. The transformation of the funeral ritual among the nomads in the Southern Urals, which took place in the Early Sarmatian time, records a change in the political and economic strategy. The transition from the network strategy that dominated from the second half of the 6th — the late 5th centuries BC to the corporate strategy ends in the late 4th — early 3rd centuries BC. This change in the political and economic strategy was due to the sharply increased instability of society during the environmental crisis in the 4th century BC caused by an abrupt aridification.
URAL FACTORY OWNERS OF THE 18TH — EARLY 20TH CENTURY: SUCCESSION OPTIONS OF OWNERSHIP RIGHTS
Authors:   Institute of History and Archaeology, Ural Branch of the RAS, Neklyudov Eugeny G.
Published: September 2021

Based on extensive information from the history of the Ural mining factory owners Stroganovs, Demidovs, Lazarevs, Vsevolozhsky, Beloselsky-Belozersky, Balashovs, Yakovlevs and Turchaninovs, the paper considers both typical and specific options for the continuity of ownership of factories during the change of generations. It is shown that this procedure in the 18th — early 20th century was regulated by legislation that established binding rules, but at the same time provided its participants with a fairly wide range of options for the transit of ownership. At the same time, the composition of heirs acquired paramount importance, it could be either simple, including only the owner’s sons or daughters, or complex, including persons of both sexes, representatives of several generations or lateral lines of the genus. A significant influence was also exerted by the form of organization of inherited property, which represented either extensive and rather amorphous “mining empires”, which was characteristic of the 18th century, or balanced and stable territorial-economic complexes — mining districts, as in the 19th — early 20th centuries. In the first case, a “natural” division of factories between the heirs became possible, in the second one, the “share” division was more rational while maintaining the common ownership of several heirs. However, this option led to the formation of multiple ownership which was characterized by unpredictability of the further fate of the “family business”. The family’s economic possibilities played a certain role too, making it possible to carry out the monetary and/or property “allocation” of a part of the heirs. This led to a reduction in the number of owners and the achievement of the main goal — the establishment of stable and conflict-free ownership and management of the mining plant estate.

Rapid detection of causes of mining accidents leading to emergencies is to search the efforts. Controlling fires and gas leaks provides an immediate approach to rescue work for fatalities or injuries and detecting who needs resuscitation outside the mine. Evacuation and recovery operations should be guided by continuous monitoring of the mine environment due to fire and explosion hazards. The main toxic gases in mines are carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2); flammable gases are methane (CH4), CO and hydrogen (H2); suffocating gases are CO2, nitrogen (N20) and CH4; and the toxic gases are CO, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S).

Authors: Gamata, DBM-HM, CHP Jesus N. , Alejandro, DBA Antonino F.
Published: September 2021

Edible flowers have recorded several uses in local and international cuisines. The presence of these beautifully tasty and fragrant ingredients on restaurant menus becomes more common. In the Philippines, there was an evident research gap on the visibility and lack of available references or reviews affecting awareness on the gastronomic use of the edible flowers in the context of restaurant contemporary menus and cuisines. This exploratory study aimed to gather helpful details and information that can be useful in creating a strategic restaurant marketing framework. Data covered the evaluation and analysis of the marketing factors influencing consumers’ behavior and the customers’ actual experiences shared in the survey forming the primary data, including the inputs and knowledge shared by the restaurant experts and owners.Furthermore, results of the study showed significant relationships between demographic profiles of respondents with the marketing factors influencing consumers, behavior and customers’ experiences. There were also significant correlations, of different degrees, between the marketing factors influencing consumers’ behavior and the customers’ experiences. The definition of the relationships further resulted to the establishment of a restaurant marketing framework, wherein utilization of the strategic components was strongly recommended to sustain and promote edible flowers in the Philippine restaurant menus

Literature Review on Policies to Support Early Childhood Development
Authors: Carbuccia Laudine
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of what we know as scientists about the developmental dimensions in early childhood that are particularly predictive of academic achievement and future well-being, the effect of formal child care on development and the barriers to access, and the interventions that can be made with parents to support their development, always with particular attention to the impacts on inequalities of outcomes. It consists of 4 chapters, each of which is the result of a systematic review of the literature. The first chapter will provide a conceptual map of the different dimensions that appear in the literature as particularly important for child development. These dimensions will then serve as a methodological grid for two of the other three chapters, which will systematically refer to them. The second chapter will focus on the effects of formal childcare arrangements on children's development. The third chapter will discuss the barriers to accessing these different forms of formal care, as well as the interventions that can be made to overcome these barriers. Finally, the last chapter will focus on the primary mode of care for children, namely their families. This will be a review of interventions that improve their child's development in each of the key dimensions identified in the first chapter.
Evaluating the Effects of a Programming Error on a Virtual Environment Measure of Spatial Navigation Behavior

Published: September 2021

Relying on shared tasks and stimuli to conduct research can enhance the replicability of findings and allow a community of researchers to collect large data sets across multiple experiments. This approach is particularly relevant for experiments in spatial navigation, which often require the development of unfamiliar large-scale virtual environments to test participants. One challenge with shared platforms is that undetected technical errors, rather than being restricted to individual studies, become pervasive across many studies. Here, we discuss the discovery of a software bug in a virtual environment platform used to investigate individual differences in spatial navigation: Virtual Silcton. The bug, which was difficult to detect for several reasons, resulted in storing the absolute value of a direction in a pointing task rather than the signed direction and rendered the original sign of the direction unrecoverable. To assess the impact of the bug on published findings, we collected a new data set for comparison. Results revealed that although the bug caused suppression in pointing errors and had different effects across people (less accurate navigators had more suppression), the effect of the bug on published data is small, partially explaining the difficulty in detecting the bug. We also used the new data set to develop a tool that allows researchers who have previously used Virtual Silcton to evaluate the impact of the bug on their findings. We summarize the ways that shared open materials, shared data, and collaboration can pave the way for better science to prevent errors in the future.
The Role of Ethnicity and Nativity in the Correspondence between Subjective and Objective Measures of In-Home Smoking

Published: September 2021

Background: Studies are needed to understand the association between self-reported home smoking bans and objective measures of in-home smoking according to smokers’ ethnicity/nativity.Methods: Data came from a trial that used air particle monitors to reduce children’s secondhand smoke exposure in smokers’ households (N = 251). Linear regressions modeled (a) full home smoking bans by ethnicity/nativity, and (b) objectively measured in-home smoking events, predicted by main and interaction effects of self-reported home smoking bans and ethnicity/nativity.Results: Among smokers reporting < a full ban, U.S.-born and foreign-born Latinos had fewer in-home smoking events than US-born Whites (p<0.001). Participants who reported a full smoking ban had a similar frequency of smoking events regardless of ethnicity/nativity.Discussion: Self-reported home smoking bans can be used as a proxy for in-home smoking. Establishing smoking bans in the households of US-born White smokers has the largest impact on potential exposure compared to other ethnic/nativity groups.

Social categories allow us to make sense of the social world and generate predictions about novel encounters. Yet, how people use particular social categories varies by culture. The current study examined how social categorization varies across traditionally individualistic and collectivistic societies among young children and adults. Using the triad picture task, American and Chinese preschoolers and adults made categorization and inductive reasoning judgments based on categories perceived as biological (e.g., age and gender) or categories perceived as more social (e.g., occupation). The developmental trajectory of social categorization varied by culture: American adults were more likely than American children to categorize based on biologically-relevant categories, whereas Chinese adults were more likely than Chinese children to do so based on socially-relevant categories. The Chinese sample also relied on socially-related categories to make predictions about biological properties more than the US sample. The current findings suggest a broad cultural influence on the perceived meanings and structures of biologically- and socially-based categories.
Social Media Use and Well-Being: What we Know and What We Need to Know
Authors: Valkenburg Patti M.
Published: September 2021

Research into the impact of social media use (SMU) on well-being (e.g., happiness) and ill-being (e.g., depression) has exploded over the past few years. From 2019 to August 2021, 27 reviews have been published: nine meta-analyses, nine systematic reviews, and nine narrative reviews, which together included hundreds of empirical studies. The aim of this umbrella review is to synthesize the results of these meta-analyses and reviews. Even though the meta-analyses are supposed to rely on the same evidence base, they yielded disagreeing associations with well- and ill-being, especially for time spent on SM, active SMU, and passive SMU. This umbrella review explains why their results disagree, summarizes the gaps in the literature, and ends with recommendations for future research.
Resources in Relational Packages: Social Capital as a Byproduct of Relational Work
Authors: Stoltz Dustin S. , Pitluck Aaron Z.
Published: September 2021

Social capital theory offers a compelling explanation as to why people are committed to making resources available to others outside of formal institutions. In this paper, we build on social capital theory to explain how actors overcome two practical problems endemic to these resource transfers. We present Viviana Zelizer’s relational work theory as a complimentary framework which accounts for when an individual may act on commitments to offer resources and which commitments to act upon when they are in conflict. Drawing on our empirical work on almsgiving to social outcasts and resource transfers at mourning ceremonies in Azerbaijan, we describe how people identify and ascribe their relationships to others by relying on available cultural conventions to mark economic transactions and other media as appropriate or inappropriate. By conceptualizing social capital in this way, we also obtain a process-tracing methodology useful for social researchers and for community activists to generate ideas on how to expand social capital in their own or others’ communities.

The main aim of this paper is to illuminate the positive reception and influence of Hemingway’s translated work in the Albanian-speaking world. On the whole, Hemingway’s reception in Albanian literature and culture has largely been overlooked and it thus requires more profound attention and consideration. Hence, this paper will attempt to fill up a large vacuum that existed so far in Ernest Hemingway’s reception in Albanian literature and culture.“Jeta e re,” one of the most reputable literary journals in Kosova, published several journalistic and literary critiques on Hemingway written by various Albanian and international authors throughout the 20th century. Using a critical and comparative literary approach and by referencing these published prefaces, introductions, articles, reviews, etc. mainly by Albanian authors, this paper details and analyzes the research, journalism, and literary criticism published in “Jeta e re” regarding Hemingway’s works. The paper concludes that Hemingway’s literary works and masterpieces were translated and published frequently and were received with warmth and enthusiasm, leading to Hemingway becoming one of the most admired authors among Albanian readers.
