Motivation for the development of China-Kurdistan relations
Authors: Raswl Zwber Ahmed ,   Department of International Relations and Diplomacy, College of Political Science, Soran Univeristy
Published: July 2024

The relationship between China and the Kurdistan Region is relatively new, as it started after the fall of the Ba'ath regime in post-2003 Iraq. The main question of this study is, what are the main motivations of China in its relations with the Kurdistan Region? For the sake of answering this question through a theoretical approach, this paper relies on the concepts of soft power and development. Both concepts are argued to guide and construct the Chinese foreign policy in the Middle East. Methodologically, this research is a qualitative one, benefitting from qualitative data and analysis. This research puts forward the argument that China's relations with the Kurdistan Region are based on soft power calculations relying on economic and commercial means. China refrains from political interference as it perceives and handles the relations with the Kurdistan Region from the perspective of China’s Iraq policy. This study has concluded that trade and economic factors are steering the China-Kurdistan Region’s relationship, and so far relations have not reached the political or strategic level. Two factors are hindering the development of relations into the political sphere. First, China prefers establishing relations with states, rather than non-state entities like Kurdistan Region, as it struggles with a similar problem at home. Second, the Kurdistan Region is politically and militarily affiliated with the United States, which makes China-Kurdistan's relations stop on economic and trade levels and do not proceed to the political level.
Questioning the Status of Moral Education in the Context of EFL in Kurdistan: A Critique Review
Authors: Mustafa Srwa Hussein ,   Department of English, faculty of Arts, Soran University, Hamad Karmand Abdullah ,   Department of English, faculty of Arts, Soran University
Published: July 2024

Language education has a broader goal beyond just developing linguistic competence, yet the primary aim of ELT in Kurdistan is solely to improve linguistic ability. While modern ELT stresses language use rather than language usage. Further, with the advent of a critical orientation, ELT now has a completely new role in facilitating learners’ growth in their sense of identity and character, in conjunction with the development of their language skills. Many countries include the study of foreign languages in their curricula to prepare students for the demands of modern life. In this regard, scholars have advocated for the integration of moral education in English language education, to promote not only language acquisition but also the development of students' moral identities and sense of social and personal responsibility. This paper provides a critical review of the ELT education system in Kurdistan, emphasizing the need to move from mainstream ELT to critical ELT. Particularly, this paper examines the gap between English language education and the needs of Kurdish learners. It underlines the significance of moral education in today's globalized world and proposes integrating it with language skill development to achieve the joint objective of promoting social development and language learning in learners. Further, the goal is to bring attention to the topic of incorporating moral education into EFL and to call the educational policies to take a more proactive stance in promoting it. It is noteworthy that policymakers at the Ministry of Education have begun to change the English curricula concurrently.
Critical Pedagogy in Curriculum Decision Making
Authors: Hamad Ejad Nader ,   English Department, Faculty of Education, Soran University, Seyyedi Keivan ,   Department of Translation, Cihan University
Published: July 2024

Critical pedagogy has recently started to have an impact on the field of TESOL—teaching English to speakers of other languages—by introducing some new socio-political views of language teaching and linguistics. In this research, two main aims are set forward. The first aim is to explain the new concept of critical pedagogy and make suggestions for how it can be incorporated into the TESOL profession. The second is to investigate students’ and teachers’ perceptions of the concept and fundamental tenets of critical pedagogy, as well as the extent to which these tenets are utilised in formulating curricula in the context of Kurdistan. This study adopted a mixed-methods research design to employ instruments for gathering and analysing data from numerous sources. The sample for the study was 120 students who completed a questionnaire. Fourteen students from the same sample participated in focus groups and, seven teachers took part in semi-structured interviews. All participants voluntarily agreed to participate in the research and were affiliated with Soran University in Iraq's Kurdistan region. The findings of this empirical study demonstrate that the stakeholders make the curricular decisions using a monologic approach rather than a dialogic one and that students and lecturers are not engaged in the decision-making process. The results also show that both teachers and learners are not very satisfied with the banking model of education and would like to be allowed to actively participate in the design and development of teaching curricula from a critical perspective.
Problems of civil protection of residential buildings in the cities of Ukraine in the context of sustainable development
Authors: Vadimov Vadim , Pydko Maksym
Published: July 2024

The problems of civil defense (CD) of the population are relevant in the formation of new residential buildings and the reconstruction of existing residential areas from the point of view of urban planning organization of residential areas in the cities of Ukraine. The need to determine the compliance of the regulatory and legal provision of the civil defense process and the principles and techniques of the formation of residential buildings with protective structures in the conditions of military operations is one of the primary tasks. The largest number of defensive structures is being built in cities close to the existing front line. New requirements for the construction of protective structures form a new look of modern Ukrainian cities based on the latest research on threats of a military and terrorist nature. The existing methods of ensuring CD expose the lack of comprehensiveness in solving this problem. The need to provide residential buildings with protective structures exposes the need for rethinking their typology, implementing the latest scientific and technical achievements. The analysis of the existing situation of protective structures (shelters and storages) and the trend of building new ones indicates the problems faced by the spheres of architecture, urban planning and civil defense of Ukraine. Fragmentation and episodic nature in the provision of civil protection can be understood as a forced response to current challenges, however, in the future, this all-encompassing field must also be large-scale and take into account modern trends - sustainable development and the creation of a truly safe space for people and the surrounding environment.
Structure of the modern city: context of the urban transformation
Authors: Martyshova Larysa
Published: July 2024

The article highlights the urgent issue of changes in urban planning structures in the process of development on the example of Ukrainian cities. The transformation of the city structure is one of its most dynamic properties in the process of its growth in space and time. Generalisation of the characteristic features of the development of historical cities makes it possible to identify typical models of their development and changes. The problems that arise in the process of transforming the urban planning structure of a modern city are very relevant today, as this process continues and is gaining momentum. The question is: how can innovative responses to complex problems are developed to help further optimal development and stop negative trends? The purpose of the publication is to reveal the essence of the processes of transformation of the modern city, divided by method, on the example of typical models in relation to the characteristics of certain periods of development of urban planning structures of both Western European cities and Ukrainian cities. Analysis and generalisation provide an opportunity not only to draw conclusions, but also to form a universal model as a basis for solving problems and to enable the modern city to improve the quality and comfort of its residents.
The two ways of transforming the urban planning structure, according to certain periods of its development, described in the text of the article, provide an opportunity to structure and generalise dynamic processes on the example of both Western European cities and Ukrainian cities. Three typical models of urban transformation are distinguished by their characteristic features, according to the main historical periods, which make it possible to form a universal model as a basis for solving the problems of the modern city. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of life and comfort of residents, which is one of the sustainable aspects, all possible resources should be used in the process of creating a global integrated modern urban structure by combining all elements into a whole, capable of developing both today and in the future.
Architectural and planning features of wooden orthodox Churches of Bukovyna using the example of the assumption church, 2 Novoushytska street, Chernivtsi
Authors: Korotun Iryna , Yuriychuk Ruslan , Stoyan Serhii
Published: July 2024

Wooden churches are an important part of Ukraine's cultural heritage. A significant portion of them has been identified, included in the State Register, and thus is under state protection. It should also be noted that the wooden architecture sites of western Ukraine were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2013 (nomination "Wooden Tserkvas of the Carpathian Region in Poland and Ukraine").
A characteristic feature of the Moldavian-Bukovinian type churches is a plan in the shape of an Orthodox cross. They also feature a high and steep wooden tent roof. The plan consists of three parts: the narthex, the nave, and the altar part. Above each part is a spherical vault in the shape of a half-sphere. The walls are made of wooden beams. The length of the wooden beam’s ranges from 3 to 6 meters. The entrance to the church is always located on the south facade. The prototype of all wooden churches of this type is considered to be the wooden church of the Putna Skete from the 14th century.
The architectural monument of national significance, the Assumption Wooden Church, is an outstanding example of folk architecture. The church has retained its authenticity and has been located at its historic site since 1876.
Its architectural and planning features lie in the preservation of the traditions of medieval folk architecture of wooden Orthodox churches in Bukovina, serving as a unique authentic example for researchers and restoration scientists
The article provides an analysis of the architectural and planning features of the wooden Assumption of the Virgin Mary Church, one of the four wooden churches of national architectural significance located in the city of Chernivtsi.
The impact of historical, cultural, and social factors on its architecture is analyzed. Methods and approaches to the preservation and restoration of wooden churches are considered, particularly the use of modern 3D scanning technologies for recording the state of the object and creating its phantom model.
The article is illustrated with architectural drawings: site plan, floor plan, and elevations, and provides photographic documentation of facade and interior fragments.
Basics of energy-efficiency of renovation of existing office buildings and restoration of listed buildings
Authors: Kutsevych Bogdan
Published: July 2024

The article highlights the basics of energy-efficiency of renovation of existing office buildings, adaptive reuse of buildings for the office function and energy restoration of listed buildings. The advantages of renovation over the new construction in terms of sustainability and reduction of energy consumption were considered.
Three different approaches to energy renovation were studied, depending on the location of the buildings and their listing status: existing buildings located outside the historical areas of the cities; existing buildings located in the historical areas of cities; and listed buildings. Principles and methods of energy-efficient renovation of existing office buildings and energy restoration of listed buildings were reviewed.
As for the listed buildings, during the modernization or restoration aiming the increase of energy efficiency - the material component of the buildings, which determines its authenticity, should be preserved as much as possible.
Regarding the renovation of existing not listed buildings but located in the historical areas - the height, scale, plastic solution, character, finishing materials, etc. must be preserved. It has to be done in order to preserve the identity and the character of the historically inherited environment of a certain area of the city.
A list of passive and active design strategies for energy consumption reduction of office buildings during renovation and energy-efficient restoration was provided. Including following passive strategies: facades and roof insulation; low infiltration values; optimization of the glazing ratio; optimal selection of glazing types; use of solar shading devices; use of daylight; passive heating due to solar radiation in winter; use of natural ventilation; integration of greenery into the building; use of internal structures of the building with high heat capacity; use of "double" glass facades, etc.
 The limitations that reduce the possibilities of energy modernization of listed buildings were considered.
Ukrainian and foreign case-studies of renovation, adaptive reuse and restoration were researched and critically analyzed.
General principles for the formation of city public spaces
Authors: Husiev Mykyta
Published: July 2024

City public spaces act as a holistic concept that cannot be dismembered and is a systemic structure that exists in the flow of time and carries traces of history, politics, culture, economic development and technological progress. In general, this structure is stable, but always changing in detail, and its growth and shape are only partially under control. This process of city formation has no final result, it is absolutely continuous. Given the constant development of open public space and its complex multifaceted structure, there is a need to derive general principles of its formation and development. This determines the relevance of the issue under study in this article.
City public spaces - all undeveloped space surrounding the city; dismembered separate built-up areas; space that is part of a single building massif. Urban open spaces are diverse - they differ in size, configuration, ratio of natural and artificial components, type of functions, and role in shaping the city's image. Existing theoretical studies in this area provide an understanding of the importance of formulating general principles for the formation of open public spaces in cities for their further organization. Thus, the article summarizes the general principles of their development - the principle of "multifunctionality", the principle of "inclusiveness", the principle of "comfort", the principle of "hierarchy", the principle of "contextuality", the principle of "public openness". The relevance of using these principles for the organization of open public spaces in cities is shown, and recommendations for improving the quality of these spaces are provided. The influence of the above principles on the characteristics and properties of open public spaces of cities on their physical, functional and social content is revealed.
Semantics of light as a tool for shaping the architecture of the modern era
Authors: Kryvoruchko Natalia , Nos Aliona
Published: July 2024

The semantics of light is considered through the prism of a cultural phenomenon, as an object of research, as well as a tool for the formation of visual and spatial characteristics of architecture from ancient times to the architecture of the modern era. It is emphasized that light, as a tool, is semantically perceived in mythological representations, aesthetic and philosophical treatises, in the theory of architecture. An analysis of the use of light in the formation of an artistic image in the architecture of the latest era is provided from the point of view of physical-spatial, aesthetic-emotional and figurative-semantic aspects according to the levels of scale: macro-scale, meso-scale, micro-scale. The perception of architecture is revealed through the semantics of using natural light as speech, which conveys meaning through light-spatial plasticity and generates certain emotions and feelings. Spaces, objects, exhibits, parts of structures illuminated in one way or another reveal the semantic meaning of light as a powerful tool and show the external (physical) and internal (sensory) beauty and aesthetics of the object. The semantics of light in architecture affects the formation of design and general atmosphere, contributes to the creation of emotional depth and cultural significance of buildings and structures. The following semantic principles of light are highlighted in the work: the interaction of light with the urban context – the lighting design of buildings and structures is integrated into the existing urban environment to convey one or another message; conveying the symbolic meaning of light through metaphor and narrative – light is used to reinforce a key idea or theme of buildings and structures, and its meaning influences cultural identity by reflecting local features and national symbols; emotional impact and creation of an atmosphere - a variety of lighting techniques contributes to the enrichment of emotional and personal experience.
The illusory nature of industrial buildings` renovation (on the example of the Tervahovi silo in Oulu, Finland)
Authors: Serhiiuk Iryna
Published: July 2024

The article highlights approaches to the renovation of industrial buildings of some European silos in the context of assessing the need and their success. Most strategies are based on adaptive reuse, often focusing on preservation for preservation's sake or renovation as a trend approach in modern architecture.
To understand it as a typological object, the emergence, evolution, planning structure, constructive materials, etc. are revealed. The process of the appearance of the silo (elevator) in the USA and its appearance in Europe is analyzed; the main types are defined depending on the configuration, constituent elements, and function: flat, full, vertical, battery-powered; the reasons why architects are interested in this type of industrial buildings and their significance for the urban planning landscape have been established. Due to its specificity and unusual form, construction and function, the building of the former Tervahovi grain silo in Oulu (Finland), which was part of a powerful industrial district, was chosen as an example. The analysis of the renovation project of the mentioned building, which was carried out in 2014 and was part of the reconstruction of the entire city quarter with the aim of returning active social life and new use among residents, was performed.
As a result of the example`s study, the main features of the design strategy were determined – an illusory renovation, where the preservation of the authentic appearance remains minimal, actually creating an external screen behind which a completely new building is created. This approach distorts the concept of revitalization, the principles of sustainability and declared reductions in carbon emissions and the use of natural resources. It was also concluded that not all renovation projects of industrial heritage are reasonable and necessary, they should be analyzed in detail, where, in addition to the architectural component, there should be an assessment of efficiency, further use by the community, urban planning value, etc.
Comparative Study on Regression Algorithms for Predicting Price of Online Course: Udemy Case Study
Authors: Wiranata Maximus Aurelius , Saputri Theresia Ratih Dewi
Published: July 2024

Talent in the field of information technology is much needed. However, studying in the field of information technology requires a sizable fee. Online courses are a cost-effective option for learning. Online course sites like Udemy provide and sell hundreds of thousands of courses and have thousands of trusted instructors. With so many Udemy instructors, prices vary widely because the course pricing system is completely set by the teaching instructor. This means that the selling price of the course is not affected by the quality of the course, so not all courses are recommended to be purchased. To overcome this problem, a system is needed that can predict course prices so that it can advise instructors in determining selling prices. To compare the best algorithms used to create this system, three algorithms are used in this study: multiple linear regression, polynomial regression, and K-Nearest Neighbors Regression. The researcher uses 1200 data sample from web scraping results from the Udemy site, with one test for each algorithm. As a result, the K-Nearest Neighbors Regression got the best evaluation results with a root mean squared error value of 231659.49, a mean absolute percentage error of 0.43, and a coefficient of determination of 0.18.

Published: July 2024

Parkinson's disease (PD) stands as one of the most prevalent conditions, impacting approximately 6.3 million individuals globally. This disorder becomes even more complex due to commonly associated non-motor symptoms like depression, cognitive impairments, and disruptions in sleep patterns. The root of PD remains largely unclear as a significant portion of cases lack a specific cause. In the initial phases of the illness, prominent indicators encompass tremors, rigidity, slowed motion, and difficulties in mobility. Presently, patients are obligated to have appointments with their medical practitioner at intervals of six months to a year, typically for brief consultations. The visit to the medical facility offers a limited glimpse into the patient's state, frequently failing to capture the day-to-day obstacles they encounter. The current evaluation methods are insufficient in comprehending this matter. This highlights the significance of promptly identifying PD, as it allows for the early implementation of treatment measures and management tactics. Additionally, this suggested approach contributes to the enhancement of human life within the healthcare framework and holds the potential to identify Parkinsonâ€™s disease swiftly and precisely.

Neurodivergent children may present with conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, or other learning differences. These children often face challenges in communication, social interaction, and academic performance, necessitating tailored support within educational settings. This community service program partners with ELMO, a community for neurodivergent children. The program's goals are twofold: to develop assistive learning media in the form of eLearning modules, and to facilitate technology transfer to ensure its sustainability. The Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) technique guides the program's methodology. Information gathering utilizes questionnaires and focus group discussions to tailor the program to the specific needs of neurodivergent students. The results have demonstrated a positive impact, satisfying both our partner organization and the parents of neurodivergent children who can now track their children's progress more effectively. The positive impact on learning and parental tracking highlights the potential of such collaborations to improve educational equity for neurodivergent students. Future efforts can focus on expanding the modules and promoting wider adoption to reach more children

Tujuan: Praktik klinik yang dilaksanakan oleh mahasiswa sudah tentu menjadi sumber stres tersendiri bagi mahasiswa. Ketakutan lingkungan praktik klinik yang akan dihadapi, perasaan kurang mampu dan tidak mampu menjalin hubungan yang baik dengan staf klinik menjadi sumber stres yang akan dialami oleh mahasiswa. Untuk mengatasi kondisi stres tersebut dibutuhkan cara yang tepat untuk mengatasinya. Koping yang tepat dibutuhkan untuk bisa mengatasi stres yang dirasakan. Untuk mendapatkan koping yang tepat, tentunya dibutuhkan strategi koping yang tepat untuk bisa bertahan dan keluar dari kondisi stres tersebut.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran tingkat stress, sumber stres dan strategi koping mahasiswa saat praktik klinik  keperawatan dasar (PKKD).
Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif observasional dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Sampel penelitian adalah 110 mahasiswa keperawatan yang sedang melaksanakan praktik klinik keperawatan dasar di rumah sakit dengan teknik total sampling. Pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan kuisioner yang dimodifikasi dari Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) dan Coping Behaviour Inventory (CBI).
Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 69% responden mengalami stres sedang, 28% responden berada pada stres ringan, dan 3% responden mengalami stres berat. Sumber stres 45% responden stressor dari teman sebaya dan kehidupan sehari-hari, 27% responden stressor dari pengajaran dan staf kesehatan lainnya, 12% responden stressor dari kemampuan merawat pasien, 10% responden stressor dari lingkungan praktik, dan 6% stressor dari tugas dan beban kerja. Strategi koping yang digunakan mahasiswa 30,65% responden  menyelesaikan masalah, 27,42% respoden menghindar, 22,58% responden tetap optimis dan 19,35% responden pemindahan.
Simpulan: Simpulan dalam penelitiaan ini adalah sebagian besar mahasiswa yang sedang mengikuti praktik klinik keperawatan dasar di rumah sakit mengalami  tingkat stress sedang, stressor terbanyak dari teman sebaya dan kehidupan sehari-hari dan strategi koping yang digunakan adalah menyelesaikan masalah.

Study of Intermolecular Interaction by Ultrasonic Measurements of 1-Butanol-Pyridine and Toluene-Pyridine at 303.15 To 323.15 K and Statistical Analysis of Liquid State Theories
Authors: Samir M. Bagade  , Ankush W Wakode
Published: July 2024

The experimental parameters measured in binary liquid mixtures, such as ultrasonic velocity (u) and density (ρ) containing 1-butanol-pyridine and toluene-pyridine across the full range of composition at different temperatures 303.15K to 323.15K, are used to evaluate acoustical parameters. The parameters are also theoretically calculated by using the Jacobson free length theory (flt) and Kalidoss revised free length theory (rflt). The statistical analysis of the liquid state theories has been done by applying chi-square (χ2) test. The findings were explained in terms of the liquid state theories that applied to binary liquid mixes as well as molecular interaction.
