BRI Economic Corridors: Implications for Future Economic Development in Global Recession
Authors:   University of Peshawar, Khan Dr. Assad Mehmood
Published: July 2023

This article explores the implications of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Economic Corridors for future economic development, especially in the context of the current global recession. The BRI, launched by China in 2013, aims to connect Asia, Europe, and Africa through a network of infrastructure projects, including the development of economic corridors. These corridors are expected to boost trade, investment, and economic growth in the participating countries. The article provides an overview of the BRI and its economic corridors and discusses the potential benefits and challenges of the initiative. It analyzes the impact of the global recession on the BRI and how the initiative can help mitigate the effects of the crisis. The article also examines the role of the BRI in promoting sustainable development and addressing environmental concerns. A qualitative research methodology will be implemented based on a market analysis, expert interpretations, literature review, and assessment of online sources. Moreover, the article will cover the politico-economic considerations, infrastructure development opportunities, shipping and transportation facilitation, along with trade facilitation and opportunities along the corridors. The article recommends that policymakers and stakeholders work together to maximize the benefits of the BRI while minimizing the risks and negative impacts. The study concludes that the BRI Economic Corridors have the potential to become a major driver of economic development, particularly in the face of the current global recession. However, the success of the initiative will depend on addressing several challenges, including governance, financing, and environmental sustainability.
Integrating Banjar Traditional Design Into Architecture of The Modern Public Park
Authors: Lipaldy Eka Andyka Wilis , Rahman Akbar
Published: July 2023

Among the main components of a smart city, the modern public space plays a vital and core role in the transition towards a friendly lifestyle. However, urban planning and design guidelines in many countries’ practices have radically transformed without cultural preservation purpose. Therefore, it is necessary to design public space with local cultural wisdom demonstrated as renewable criteria considered a sustainable public space solution for smart cities. This may improve places, increasing prosperity and extending expectations of modernization in many cities. This article contributes to cultural preservation dynamism in public spaces. It explores how modernist approaches to planning and design along with cultural features shaped the quality of urban space. This study uses the Banjar culture in Banjarbaru City, Indonesia as a replanned city in a rapidly developing economy, but one where largely unusable public spaces have failed to meet people’s everyday needs and aspirations. The study was performed based on extensive literature reviews, documentary analyses, morphological surveys, photographic and qualitative surveys. In general, the integration of Banjar culture into modern public space provides a better promotion understanding of identity and friendly environmental quality.

Findability → Known-Item Search, Discoverability → Exploratory Search?
Authors: Winston Donny
Published: July 2023

I keep confusing findability and discoverability. It seems that findability is often equated to known-item search, and discoverability to exploratory search. Known-item search is compatible with “instant search”, aka search-as-you-type interfaces. Exploratory search is compatible with “autocomplete” (incl. re-spelling, infix matching, synonym substitution, etc.) interfaces.

The goal of my BioNames project is to link every taxonomic name to its original description (initially focussing on animal names). The rationale is that taxonomy is based on evidence, and yet most of this evidence is buried in a non-digitised and/or hard to find literature. Surfacing this information not only makes taxonomic evidence accessible (see Surfacing the deep data of taxonomy), it also surfaces a lot of basic biological information.

Duchamp e o zen-budismo: aspectos de uma afinidade estética
Authors: Azevedo Danrlei De Freitas
Published: July 2023

A afinidade entre a atividade artística de Duchamp e o zen-budismo se revela no nexo comum estabelecido com uma dimensão do sentido que, em referência a Kant, pode ser denominada estética. Em ambas as perspectivas, o sentido se agarra com total fidelidade à prática e à experiência mundana. O ready-made duchampiano e o koan zen-budista obtêm destaque na abordagem, ao exibirem com maior nitidez a pertinência da aproximação proposta. Dialogando especialmente com a filosofia de Wittgenstein, o texto expõe e discute a mencionada afinidade.
A crítica de Habermas ao pensamento de Nietzsche e o outro da razão
Authors: Machado Carlos Henrique
Published: July 2023

Habermas, em O Discurso Filosófico da Modernidade, procura lançar as bases de uma filosofia como saber do universal, através de uma crítica da razão instrumental moderna em nome de uma racionalidade comunicativa que recorre à ética do discurso, a uma pragmática da ação comunicativa e do entendimento intersubjetivo. Embora Habermas leve adiante as críticas a um tipo de racionalidade que enclausurou os modernos, ele quer preservar, no entanto, o vigor do impulso modernista de um espírito universalizante e utópico. Por isso Habermas irá atacar as investidas de um pensamento de inspiração nietzschiana, que pretende realizar uma ruptura com os ideias iluministas de uma razão autônoma e de uma moral que se defina a partir de um imperativo categórico Pretendemos, então, verificar a consistência da crítica de Habermas ao pensamento de Nietzsche e avaliar, ao mesmo tempo, se contrariamente ao que pensa Habermas, é legitima uma crítica radical de inspiração nietzschiana que queira transmutar a racionalidade moderna ocidental como única saída para a clausura da razão e para a uma completa transvaloração sob o ponto de vista da vida dos homens no mundo.
Escrevendo com bombas: estilo e escrita em Friedrich Nietzsche diante sua tarefa de transvaloração de todos os valores.
Authors: Sodré Fernanda Dos Santos
Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar e tentar compreender a variação no estilo da escrita de Friedrich Nietzsche diante ao que chamoude seu projeto de transvaloração de todos os valores. Consideramos que para uma tarefa definida por ele como aquela que “diz Não, que faz o Não”, Nietzsche teria inventado um estilo ainda mais ácido, ainda mais terrível frente aos seus inimigos. Neste sentido, buscaremos identificar o que seria a tarefa de transvaloração de todos os valores e de que maneira a agressividade imposta por este projeto não pode ser confundida com qualquer resquício de negatividade, ela é sim para Nietzsche, uma mensagem alegre e criadora. Além disso, investigaremos seu estilo a partir de uma aliança que Nietzsche teria feito com a música em sua escrita para empreender um ritmo e tom capazes de comunicar toda agressividade que sua tarefa demandava.

Uma tópica winnicottiana e spinoziana
Authors: Martins André
Published: July 2023

A primeira e a segunda tópicas de Freud, assim como os registros do psiquismo segundo Lacan, descrevem o funcionamento da psique humana a partir de uma base filosófica dicotômica, que crê enxergar uma instância pulsional propriamente natural que deve ser contida ou organizada por uma outra instância, cultural ou civilizatória: fundamento metafísico segundo o qual o corpo se opõe à mente, e esta deve reprimir os excessos bestiais daquele. Já Winnicott descreve o psiquismo sobre uma base imanentista, configurando uma tópica winnicottiana, na qual somos um psiquessoma, cuja força vital, que busca sempre a saúde, não precisa ser reprimida, mas expressa, e cuja mente a ele pode estar integrada ou dissociada. Antes dele, a filosofia da mente em Spinoza nos mostra, configurando uma tópica spinoziana, que somos um corpo afetivo e pensante, cuja essência é uma potência de agir expansiva, e que a mente pode compreender nossos afetos e pensamentos, ou ao contrário, dissociar-se imaginariamente do que ocorre conosco, formando ideias-da-ideia inadequadas e falsas, por medo da dor e dos próprios afetos.

Indirect Additive Manufacturing (Material Extrusion) as a Solution to a New Concept of Cutting Tools
Authors: Oliveira Gonçalo , Alves Bernardo , Mineiro Ricardo , Rocha Senos Ana Maria , Fernandes Cristina , Figueiredo Daniel , Vieira Maria Teresa
Published: July 2023

A cermet grade with TiCN as major phase and 15wt.% Co/Ni as the binder and secondary carbides WC, Mo2C and NbC was selected for indirect additive manufacturing (Material Extrusion). These powder constituents were the primary material of feedstocks to produce filaments for the indirect AM process - Material Extrusion (MEX). The filaments result from the extrusion of a feedstock previously optimized (CPVC= critical powder volume concentration) and selection of polymeric binder and additive. Concerning the cermet powder particles, 4Ss (particle size, particle size distribution, particle shape, and particle structure) and the quality of the organic binder/additives through the feedstock and filament behaviour were evaluated, in what concerns "printability" and sinterability. Cermet 3D-objects were successfully printed by MEX and sintered. No significant deformation was measured after debinding and sintering, and no undesired phases were detected in the microstructures of the 3D-object.
Properties Of Hardmetals With Different Fe-Co-Ni Binder
Authors: Wagner Stephanie , Lengauer Walter
Published: July 2023

The present work deals with an investigation of WC-(Fe,Co,Ni) hardmetals and investigations of their mechanical and physical properties. Grain-growth inhibitors (GGIs) in form of VC and Cr3C2 were added. To obtain the largest effect of GGI doping the concentration was set near the maximum soluble amount in the binder. The hardness, HV30 and Palmqvist toughness, KIC and magnetic properties (coercivity, Hc and magnetic saturation, Ms) was determined. In a refined part of this study, a deeper insight into four hardmetal grades, two γ-binder grades with Fe/Co/Ni=30/40/30 and 40/20/40, and two α+γ-binder grades with Fe/Co/Ni=62/20/18 and Fe/Ni=85/15 were investigated as a function of increasing C-content from +eta to free-C compositions in up to 13 steps. The magnetic behaviour of γ-binder is different to that of α+γ-binder, in the latter MS decreases with increasing C content. Evaluation of HV30 and KIC showed competitive values to standard submicron WC-10Co grades.
Design Considerations for Unmanned Surface Vessels in Naval Service
Authors: Strickland Jason D.
Published: July 2023

_

Within the evolving maritime industry, we are faced with this fundamental question: “What modifications of design practices are required to support the development of Unmanned Surface Vessels?” The trivial answer is to remove the people, but mariners and personnel afloat have been a stalwart for the operations of prior maritime vessels. So, we now begin to assess the impact of their removal/reassignment as an industry. Not only a technical challenge exists, the regulatory and statutory challenge is also worthy of noting. It is the goal of this paper to look at the potential implications and modifications required to effectively design unmanned surface vessels. Four major subelements will be required to field a successful system. These subelements are Design, Classification, Testing, and Certification. Classification, Testing, and Certification will be the focus of a future discourse. The Design subelement will be assessed across a set of categories that aligns with the U.S. Navy Ship Work Breakdown Structure. The required assessments need to be given a time horizon for contextual purposes. In support of this assertion, the targeted objective is a vessel certified for unmanned, unescorted, over the horizon, blue water operations by 2025.

Introduction

Humans have been designing and deploying ocean-going vessels for thousands of years, potentially since the dawn of human history based on findings on Flores Island, Indonesia; San Miguel Island, CA; and the Pesse Canoe (Rose 1998; Pringle 2008; Drents Museum 2016). During this time, the maritime industry has weathered multiple paradigm shifts in major subsystems, such as the transition from sails to steam to internal combustion engines to electric drives, none of these are as potentially disruptive as the current shift underway to unmanned vessel operations. This transition is across the maritime domain, it applies to commercial and naval applications. “The Navy wants to acquire these large unmanned vehicles (UVs) as part of an effort to shift the Navy to a more distributed fleet architecture . . .” (O’Rourke 2022). These new assets will augment and not replace traditional vessels. “We will add to our current fleet a host of manned, unmanned and optionally manned platforms operating under, on, and above the seas” (Gilday 2022).
La amistad como forma de resistencia: reflexiones en torno a la obra de circo Amista’ (2021)

El siguiente trabajo buscó desarrollar una serie de análisis y reflexiones a partir de la obra de circo Amista’ (2021) de Tomi Soko, en la cual se despliega la relación íntima y afectiva de tres malabaristas de semáforo. Resultó de interés pensar en torno a la decisión política de crear desde ese punto de partida, ya que se exponen durante la obra las tensiones sobre el dinero, la competencia entre artistas callejeros y la disputa por el reconocimiento. El artículo se estructuró en tres ejes donde lo político adquiere connotaciones específicas: la temática, el lenguaje y el proceso creativo; perspectivas que a su vez se retroalimentan entre sí. Haciendo el camino inverso a la puesta en escena, se partió del resultado visible para adentrarse en el proceso de investigación inicial de la obra, poniendo en el centro la pregunta por la relación entre los saberes corporales propios de los malabaristas de semáforo y los ejes mencionados.

Nigeria's Legal Regulatory Framework for Ensuring a Credible 2023 Election
Authors: Nabiebu Miebaka
Published: July 2023

Since independence, the Nigerian electoral process has been plagued with spiralling anomalies, including worsening violence, intimidation, death and fraud. This has jeopardized Nigeria's socio-economic, political and national security and eroded confidence in the democratic process as well as increased election season security concerns. For elections to be credible, the competition must be fair, which requires impartial process management. So, despite the recently revised Electoral Act and other related laws that could help Nigeria realize its potential for credible elections. This work argues that the legal framework still has several components that must be studied or introduced to improve electoral processes. The method used is qualitative with a case study approach and empirical juridical. The results of this study propose that Article 225 of the Constitution be amended to eliminate the requirement for cash given to political parties from outside Nigeria to be transferred to INEC; otherwise, the donation must be notified to INEC and made public. The constitution should be modified to establish an Election Offenses Commission or Court to try and punish individuals (INEC officers, candidates and voters) who violate articles 114–128 of the new law. Section 29(5) of the Elections Act should be amended to allow the Federal Capital Territory and the High Court of Abuja State to hear and resolve pre-election disputes. In addition, instead of focusing on technical matters, the trial for the regional election application should focus more on the substance of the application and the facts of the case.
The Status of Customary Tenants in Relation to Land Held by Him: An Overview of Customary Law
Authors: Otu Michael Takim , Edet Joseph
Published: July 2023

The article seeks to examine the effects of the Land Use Act of 1978 on the customary system of land holding in Nigeria. Since the birth of the Act, the problem facing our courts, ordinary people and lawyers is determining the actual position of customary tenants under the system of property rights introduced by the Law. The empirical legal research method used in this study is a type of qualitative research. This method focuses on cases in the community using legal studies, while the scope of this research is the Land Use Act 1978 against the customary land tenure system in Nigeria. The results of the discussion made it clear that the Laws on Land Use and Customary Land Owners have much in common. As such, the controversies generated by these issues continue to defy consensus among our academic "egg heads" as well as learned judges in our courts. Indeed, many court decisions appear to indicate that the courts have not settled the controversy on this issue. As a result, the judicial confusion for Nigerian means of conveyance continues to this day.

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menguji dan menganalisi apakah kepuasan kerja dan komitmen organisasi berpengaruh negatif terhadap turnover intention. Turnover di awali dengan keinginan karyawan untuk meninggalkan perusahaan atau dalam kata lain turnover intention. Turnover intention merupakan suatu keadaan dimana pekerja memliki niat atau kecenderungan yang dilakukan secara sadar untuk mencari pekerjaan lain. Faktor lainnya yang berpengaruh terhadap turnover intention adalah komitmen organisasi. Adapun metode penelitian yang dipakai adalah analisis deskriptif kuantitatif. Pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik sampling jenuh atau teknik total sampling. Semua pekerja merupakan populasi dan dijadikan sampel semuanya dengan jumlah 45 orang. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa kepuasan kerja berpengaruh positif secara tidak signifikan terhadap variable Turnover intention, hal ini menunjukkan jika kepuasan kerja semakin baik, maka turnover intention akan semakin meningkat. Hasil penelitian lainnya adalah komitmen organisasi berpengaruh positif secara signifikan terhadap variabel Turnover intention, hal ini menunjukkan jika komitmen organisasi semakin baik, maka turnover intention akan semakin meningkat.

. Stunting is a condition of height according to body length below -2 SD. The short and long term impacts of stunting can affect the cognitive or affective abilities of toddler growth and development. Lack of knowledge on caring for mothers of toddlers related to fulfilling balanced nutrition, especially during the First 1000 Days of Life can have an impact on the occurrence of stunting. This community service is aimed at increasing mothers' knowledge regarding stunting incidents and optimizing 1000 HPK. Implementation of activities in the form of counseling and two-way interactive dialogue. The results of the implementation of community service showed an increase in the knowledge of the counseling participants after being given stunting counseling. Counseling participants looked enthusiastic and actively participated in the activity until the event ended. It is hoped that regular and scheduled counseling programs can further improve welfare and optimize the growth and development of toddlers.

La santé d'un individu dépend en grande partie de la manière dont il se nourrit. Un vieil adage dit qu'il faut manger pour vivre, mais encore, faudrait-il pouvoir et « savoir » manger, car un régime alimentaire déséquilibré par excès peut être aussi néfaste qu'un manque de nourriture. Nous avons réalisé une étude transversale à visé analytique auprès des ménages ayant les enfants malnutris de 0 à 59 mois dans la ville de Kindu autour de la période allant du 01 novembre 2020 au 30 avril 2021 dans la province de Maniema, à l’Est de la République Démocratique du Congo sur un échantillon de 78 ménages. Nous avons recouru à la méthode d’enquête, à la technique d’interview guidée par un questionnaire simple et le calcul de proportion et le test statistique de Chi-Carré et de fréquence ont été utilisées pour le traitement des données. Nous avions constaté que 57 femmes ayant les enfants malnutris ont un niveau d’instruction primaire et analphabètes soit 73,1 % des cas, 56 pratiquent l’allaitement maternel mixte soit 71,8%, 52,6% nourris leurs enfants 1 à 2 repas par jour, 88,5% ne supplémentent pas les enfants en vitamine A et 91% des femmes ne déparasitent pas leurs enfants. Donc, ces résultats confirment notre hypothèse de départ. Mots clés : Malnutrition, enfants, facteur favorisant

The tropical forest products are among the important international goods which could bring revenues and support to the national economy of the tropical forest producing countries but unfortunately the tropical forests products do not contribute or facilitate the economic development of African countries like in the developed countries. This paper focuses on some of the challenges of the forests products trade in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to bring out the analysis we would like to make. The existing information on the forest exploitation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, based mainly on the bibliographic review were considered. These data are time-series data of secondary source in the range of 2000 to 2015. Both of Ligneous and non-ligneous forest products are very important for the support of people and governments as income sources, food, construction, sports and art materials. These products need a sustainable management and best forest protection whereas they are gotten. Keywords: Forest, challenges, product
A Failed Acculturation-by-Naturalisation Experiment. The néo-français in Tunisia under the French Protectorate
Authors:   Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University, Zdanowski Jerzy
Published: July 2023

This article addresses the issues of intercultural contacts and presents historical experiences that relate to contemporary phenomena of the increased flow of migration. The relationship between acculturation and naturalisation and the concepts of integration of colonial peoples with France during the Third French Republic and the colonial empire have been examined. These concepts assumed integration through acculturation and assimilation, and the instrument conducive to this process was to be naturalisation. The article refers to archival material and explores individual cases of naturalisation in Tunisia during the period of the French protectorate. The documents prove that the act of naturalisation itself did not lead to greater acculturation. The main obstacle to acculturation expected by the French authorities was the constant identification of naturalised indigènes with native culture through socialization with the native environment.
DIREITOS HUMANOS EM GESTÃO DE RECURSOS NATURAIS SOB OLHAR DA EXPLORAÇÃO DE PEDRAS PRECIOSAS NO DISTRITO DE CUAMBA
Authors: Fino Salvador Samuel António , Manso Estela Fiel
Published: July 2023

O objectivo deste artigo foi rever o conceito de direitos humanos em gestão de recursos naturais sob olhar da exploração de pedras preciosas no distrito de Cuamba. E especificamente i: Identificar as diferentes legislações sobre os direitos humanos e protecção dos ecossistemas; ii: Indicar a importância da protecção dos ecossistemas em locais de exploração de recursos naturais; e iii: Propor a alteração do conceito de direitos humanos em gestão dos recursos naturais. O artigo foi elaborado através do método qualitativo, baseado na revisão bibliográfica, com apoio das técnicas de observação directa não participante e entrevista com um questionário estruturado. Os resultados mostram que, durante a exploração dos recursos naturais os seres vivos nativos nas áreas de mineração não são levados em conta, pelo que simplesmente são dizimados, por isso buscou-se o conceito de direitos humanos em gestão ambiental, para estabelecer leis que protejam esses seres vivos e que essas leis sejam fiscalizadas.

Spoken lexical chunks used by successful learners at B2 level: forms and functions

Published: July 2023

This study analyses the lexical chunks used in successful spoken language by a sample of learners at Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR) B2 level in the speaking component of a four-skills test. The data forms the initial part of a corpus of speaking tests at this level and the intention is to provide practitioners and researchers with evidence in order to more clearly interpret the broad ‘can do’ statements of the CEFR. Results suggest that the most frequent chunks used at this level employ the first thousand most frequent words in the British National Corpus (BNC) spoken lists and are often comparable to frequent chunks used in native speaker corpus data. The findings also show that learners make use of a narrow range of multi-functional chunks rather than employing a range of items for one function. Moreover, some chunks we normally would expect to find at this level were underused. The data has implications for how spoken language, in this case, chunks, could be taught to students at this level and for further research in this area.
Morpheus: Dreamscape architectural operations
Authors: Ramaghazy Adika , Yatmo Yandi Andri
Published: July 2023

This study explores the narrative of dreams as a basis of architectural design operation. This study positions its exploration within a dreamscape; or a surrealist situation that becomes the basis of architectural design. Current architectural discourse has explored design based on some structured and rigid operations. However, understanding dreamscape as a design medium positions the importance of explorative and unstructured operations as the basis of the alternative spatial narrative. Morpheus is a title of experimental architecture programming in this design study which is driven by a series of speculative dream operations. This study employs dream narratives to develop architectural programming languages, from the initial exploration to the materialisation of its architecture. In this study, architecture emerge as an experimental instrument based on speculative and unstructured operations of dreamscape, as an alternative method in constructing narrative relationships.
Monkeys exhibit human-like gaze biases in economic decisions
Authors: Lupkin Shira M , McGinty Vincent B
Published: July 2023

In economic decision-making individuals choose between items based on their perceived value. For both humans and nonhuman primates, these decisions are often carried out while shifting gaze between the available options. Recent studies in humans suggest that these shifts in gaze actively influence choice, manifesting as a bias in favor of the items that are viewed first, viewed last, or viewed for the overall longest duration in a given trial. This suggests a mechanism that links gaze behavior to the neural computations underlying value-based choices. In order to identify this mechanism, it is first necessary to develop and validate a suitable animal model of this behavior. To this end, we have created a novel value-based choice task for macaque monkeys that captures the essential features of the human paradigms in which gaze biases have been observed. Using this task, we identified gaze biases in the monkeys that were both qualitatively and quantitatively similar to those in humans. In addition, the monkeys’ gaze biases were well-explained using a sequential sampling model framework previously used to describe gaze biases in humans—the first time this framework has been used to assess value-based decision mechanisms in nonhuman primates. Together, these findings suggest a common mechanism that can explain gaze-related choice biases across species, and open the way for mechanistic studies to identify the neural origins of this behavior.
How hibernation in frogs drives brain and reproductive evolution in opposite directions
Authors: Liao Wenbo , Jiang Ying , Jin Long , Lüpold Stefan
Published: July 2023

Environmental seasonality can promote the evolution of larger brains through cognitive and behavioral flexibility but can also hamper it when temporary food shortage is buffered by stored energy. Multiple hypotheses linking brain evolution with resource acquisition and allocation have been proposed for warm-blooded organisms, but it remains unclear how these extend to cold-blooded taxa whose metabolism is tightly linked to ambient temperature. Here, we integrated these hypotheses across frogs and toads in the context of varying brumation (hibernation) durations and their environmental correlates. We showed that protracted brumation covaried negatively with brain size but positively with reproductive investment, likely in response to brumation-dependent changes in the socio-ecological context and associated selection on different tissues. Our results provide novel insights into resource allocation strategies and possible constraints in trait diversification, which may have important implications for the adaptability of species under sustained environmental change.
