Ecotourism has been recommended for multiple outcomes that foster environmental protection in developing nations. Tourism studies have revealed that ecotourism has several setbacks in Bangladesh, resulting in environmental difficulties, security issues and tourists’ unwillingness to visit destinations. Therefore, this paper examines the factors of destination image, perceived risk, and travel motivation to foresee tourists’ selection of ecotourism destinations in Bangladesh. The framework of this study is built upon the “Stimulus-Response Model of Buyer Behaviour” to address the knowledge gap. A total of 364 usable responses were collected from the tourists. The data were examined using SPSS for primary analysis and SEM-AMOS for hypothesis testing. The findings suggest that a proper image and motivation would encourage tourists to visit ecotourism destinations.
INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICAL MODULATION THEORY
Authors:   Institute of Radioelectronics, service and diagnostics  644077, Russia, Omsk, pr. Mira, 57, Veshkurtsev Yu.M.
Published: June 2023

Using new knowledge and models of known signals with amplitude shift keying (ASK), build a statistical theory of designing promising modems for information and control systems. The statistical theory is based on the characteristic function of A. Lyapunov of a random signal. It is proposed to consider the characteristic function of a non-deterministic signal with ASK, which simultaneously with the amplitude of the oscillation is modulated by a telegraph message. Taking into account this phenomenon, it was decided to further investigate the ASK signal from the standpoint of the so-called statistical shift keying (SSK), since the advantages of the new modulation method according to the forecast will significantly increase the performance of the proposed modem. The old demodulator is removed in the ASK modem and a patented demodulator is installed for receiving SSK signals using estimates of the real and imaginary parts of the Lyapunov characteristic function. The analysis of the energy performance and noise immunity of the modernized modem is made. As a result of the use of the first discovered property of the Lyapunov characteristic function, the noise immunity of a digital system with amplitude shift keying is increased by ten orders of magnitude by including a promising modem in its composition, and an energy gain of 10 dB compared to QPSK or 13 dB compared to ASK is obtained. Practical relevance: Replacing old ASK signal modems with new SSK signal modems will increase the quality of digital systems many times and make them competitive with other systems, including QPSK digital systems.

Published: June 2023

The existing physical and mathematical models of polymer materials are analyzed. It is found out that in all existing models, the speed factor should play a significant role. Experimental studies of velocity impact on the characteristics of polymer supporting and return devices automatic coupling shock absorbers are carried out. Experimental dynamic studies are carried out on the BSTU-BSZ slide stand, static studies on the PMM-250 press of BSTU Laboratory of Machine Dynamics and Strength. Polymer elements made of the most common materials on the rolling stock of the Russian Federation railways - Durel and Hytrel - are selected as objects of the research. In order to take into account the velocity impact only on the polymer supporting and return block, a corresponding device is developed. To exclude the influence of other operational factors on the characteristics of polymer retaining and return devices, parallel experiments are conducted on several identical objects at different times. The paper provides a detailed description of the conducted experimental studies and the results obtained in the form of graphs of power characteristics. It is found that the velocity factor significantly affects the power characteristics, there is an increase in the recall coefficient of the power characteristic up to 26%, as well as an increase in strength up to 42%.
Bayesian Estimation of Attribute Hierarchy for Cognitive Diagnosis Models
Authors: Chen Yinghan , Wang Shiyu
Published: June 2023

Attribute hierarchy, the underlying prerequisite relationship among attributes, plays an important role in applying cognitive diagnosis models (CDM) for designing efficient cognitive diagnostic assessments. However, there are limited statistical tools to directly estimate attribute hierarchy from response data. In this study, we proposed a Bayesian formulation for attribute hierarchy within CDM framework and developed an efficient Metropolis within Gibbs algorithm to estimate the underlying hierarchy along with the specified CDM parameters. Our proposed estimation method is flexible and can be adapted to a general class of CDMs. We demonstrated our proposed method via a simulation study, and the results from which show that the proposed method can fully recover or estimate at least a subgraph of the underlying structure across various conditions under a specified CDM model. The real data application indicates the potential of learning attribute structure from data using our algorithm and validating the existing attribute hierarchy specified by content experts.

Teologi Musik Gerejawi
Authors: reke Putri
Published: June 2023

Musik gerejawi menjadi benar maknanya bila dipahami berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip yang terkandung dalam firman Allah. Dengan memiliki pemahaman yang benar akan makna, tujuan, siapa, dan bagaimana serta kapan musik gerejawi itu dilakukan, maka penyembahan kita kepada Allah melalui musik dan nyanyian akan membangun iman dan memuliakan Allah. Musik dan nyanyian gerejawi mutlak didasari oleh kehendak Allah. Musik gerejawi bukan merupakan pilihan, melainkan kewajiban bagi setiap gereja sebagai respon atas karya penebusan Allah dalam hidupnya. Musik dan nyanyian gerejawi bukan dalam rangka sebagai pengantar antar unsur yang satu dengan unsur lainnya dalam sebuah susunan acara liturgi, dan bukan pula dalam rangka suatu aktifitas kegiatan bersama yang menyenangkan untuk menyanyikan lagu-lagu kesayangan. Perjumpaan dengan Allah melalui karya pemeliharaan-Nya pada setiap waktu, itulah yang menjadi motor yang menggerakkan musik dan nyanyian pujian kepada Allah.

Colorspace based methodology for leaf segmentation
Authors: Fotiadis Giannis
Published: June 2023

Digital image processing continues to be in high demand for research purposes. Research in this field encompasses various components such as color, texture, and pattern analysis. One specific area of focus is the segmentation process of plant leaves. Plant leaves have distinctive patterns and features that make them an interesting subject for study. This research specifically targets the segmentation of plant leaves, aiming to group them into different classes. The dataset used in this study consists of a collection of plant leaves, totaling 477 samples, which are divided into training and testing data. The segmentation process plays a crucial role in achieving accurate results prior to the classification phase. To accomplish this, a proposed segmentation method utilizing the K-Means algorithm as a pre-processing step is employed. The K-Means algorithm separates the leaf object from the background based on two color features represented by values 0 and 1. The pre-processing results are displayed using the color feature with a value of 1, representing the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values of the leaf object. Subsequently, the RGB values are transformed into the Hue, Saturation, and Value (HSV) color space for feature extraction. This HSV color feature extraction method is proposed to enhance classification accuracy. For the testing phase, we consider various methods such as neural networks, SVMs etc, all utilizing K-Fold Cross Validation. The test results indicate that both Naive Bayes without K-Fold Cross Validation and SVM with K-Fold Cross Validation achieve a high accuracy rate of 91%. In conclusion, the segmentation method employing K-Means and HSV demonstrates its effectiveness in achieving high accuracy in the testing process for plant leaf segmentation.
WIIFM: Absorptive capacity for digital natives in explorative space and tech education for survival in the virtual world
Authors: Vuong Quan-Hoang , Le Tam-Tri , Jin Ruining , Hoang Giang , Quang-Loc Nguyen , Nguyen Minh-Hoang
Published: June 2023

Humankind is facing many existential global problems that require international and transgenerational efforts to be solved. Preparing our next generation with sufficient knowledge and skills to deal with such problems is imperative. Fortunately, the digital environment provides foundational conditions for children’s and adolescents’ exploration and self-learning, which might help them cultivate the necessary knowledge and skills for future survival. We conducted the Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics on a dataset of 2069 students from 54 Vietnamese elementary, secondary, and high schools to test this presumption. The results showed that students with higher digital literacy are more curious and have better knowledge regarding global issues (i.e., climate change, disease, overpopulation, aging, etc.). Students’ curiosity also mediates the relationship between digital literacy and global issues knowledge. Based on these findings, we argue that digital explorative space is essential for digital natives’ education for survival, individually (i.e., for future employment requirements) and socially (i.e., for making informed decisions and creating innovations that can be helpful to society). Children’s and adolescents’ exposure to digital explorative space should be promoted to improve their digital literacy rather than prohibition. During the exploration, emotional intelligence is critical in mitigating existential risks, or threats, to digital natives to navigate and overcome chaotic processes occurring in unchartered waters in the virtual world.
Probing the causal contribution of reasoning to third-party moral judgment of harm transgressions
Authors: Schwartz Flora , Trémolière Bastien
Published: June 2023

Recent work supports the role of reasoning in third-party moral judgment of harm transgressions. In particular, reasoning may increase the weight of intention in moral judgment of accidental harm, a situation that presumably requires judges to balance considerations about the outcome endured by a victim on the one hand, and considerations about an agent’s intention to cause harm on the other hand. Three preregistered lab-based studies aimed to bring further evidence for the causal contribution of reasoning to moral judgment of harm transgressions using experimental manipulations borrowed from the reasoning literature: time pressure (Experiment 1), cognitive load (Experiment 2), priming (Experiment 3). Participants (N = 178) were presented with short fictitious scenarios in which the agent’s intention toward a potential victim (harmful or neutral intent) and the action’s outcome (victim’s injury or no harm) were manipulated. Participants then reported their moral judgment of the agent’s behavior (wrongness and deserved punishment) and their empathy toward the victim. Overall, we did not find an effect of the reasoning manipulation on judgment severity. Participants were not more severe toward accidental transgressors when reasoning was prevented. The present study does not bring further support to the idea that accounting for intention in third-party moral judgment of harm transgressions may be a cognitively costly process, and we discuss these null findings in light of the moral judgment literature.

Tunable energy absorption in 3D-printed data-driven diatom-inspired architected materials
Authors: Stagni Alessandro , Musenich Ludovico , Libonati Flavia , Derin Lucio
Published: June 2023

Boosted by additive manufacturing, architected materials have opened new opportunities to extend the performance of engineering materials. Yet, their development is held back by the intense efforts required to understand their complex property-structure-process-performance relationship. Therefore, data-driven biomimetic approaches are becoming increasingly popular to unveil such relationship. Here we mimic the functionally graded structures found in Coscinodiscus sp. diatom to understand the role of their shapes and define new guidelines for the design of novel architected honeycombs with tunable mechanical properties. Finite element simulations, validated on the outcome of a testing campaign performed on 3D-printed elastomeric samples, are used to build a dataset for machine learning algorithm training. Different machine learning techniques are used to link the geometric features of the designed biomimetic structures to their energy absorption properties and, in particular, to the specific absorbed energy divided by the peak force, here used as the performance index. The proposed approach leads to a novel design, which features a performance increase of 250% w.r.t. conventional honeycombs.
The Trivers-Willard effect for educational investment: Evidence from an African sample
Authors: Borgstede Matthias , Scheunpflug Annette
Published: June 2023

The Trivers-Willard hypothesis (TWH) states that individuals in good condition favor offspring of the sex that has a higher variance in reproductive value. Empirical studies with historical human populations suggest that the TWH might explain biased birth-ratios as well as biased parental investment in male or female offspring. However, empirical tests of the TWH in modern human populations are less conclusive.In this study, we investigate whether parental investment in education might be skewed according to the TWH in an African sample (N = 314) that includes students from 8 different countries. The data show that male students who rate their family’s wealth high tend to report more parental involvement in their own education, whereas the opposite is true for female students. This pattern is in accordance with the TWH for parental investment. The results support the validity of evolutionary explanations of behavioral bias in the context of parental investment in offspring education.
Das Abwesende erforschen. Versuch über die Lücke und das Verschwinden
Authors: Heimerdinger Timo
Published: June 2023

Empirically working cultural studies naturally focus their attention on what is methodically accessible and thus on what is existing. But in the history of our discipline there is also a trace of interest in the suppressed, forgotten or abolished. The absent is also a cultural reality that deserves attention. The social crises of recent years have enforced extensive practices of omission and thus intensified anew the questioning of the growth paradigm. In the interplay of climate change, pandemic, energy scarcity and inflation, a thorough engagement with practices of reduction and relinquishment is needed. Using the thematic examples of energy saving, minimalist reduction of possessions and the question of climate-friendly mobility, practical everyday forms of reduction will be presented and discussed as objects of cultural studies research. Phenomena of disappearance turn out to be neither a passive blank space nor an accidental gap. Rather, they are significant objectivations of human action full of agency and creative power. They thus are particularly suitable for an analysis of the absent in the cultural studies of everyday life.

Published: June 2023

This research article deals with the question of himsa and ahimsa mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita. The study has its relevance to understand the Gita’s teaching on himsa and ahimsa. The research problem is that whether the Gita advocates himsa or ahimsa. The research approach (methodology) adopted for this study is the textual analysis of the Gita’s related verses along with the review-based analysis of the views on himsa and ahimsa expressed by the Gita’s commentators Bankim Chandra Chattopdyaya, Lokamanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi and Aurobindo Ghosh. The study reveals that the Gita talks about ahimsa while mentioning the good traits of a Godlike person but the text basically focuses on the justified himsa as essential and obligatory in dealing with the evil persons of the imperfect human society.

Social Harmony and Integrity: An Advocacy of Universal Humanism in Rabindranath Tagore’s “Chandalika”
Authors: Neupane Dipesh
Published: June 2023

The world is replete with racial, regional, lingual, religious and cultural diversities. The terms racism, religiosity, caste divisions etc. are the social constructs rather than natural, by birth phenomena. This study examines Rabindranath Tagore’s Two act play – “Chandalika” focusing social harmony and solidarity as an integral aspect of universal humanism. Conceptualizing the theoretical frameworks of humanism that elevates human dignity and fraternity, this research attempts to display how the writer advocates the universal humanism through the social harmony and integrity in the play. Caste discrimination is still prevalent in Hindu culture, and racial, cultural and regional prejudices have had a long history in different the parts of the world. The conflict amid different castes, religions, regions and races has soared up in some parts of the world dismantling social harmony. When a human being regards and respects another human being regardless of diverse castes, races, religions, and cultural and regional disparities, it echoes the sense of universal humanism. This research explores Tagore’s ideals of social, religious and racial harmony as a part of universal humanism enshrined in the Text. It answers the question: how does the play Chadalika advocate the aesthetics of social harmony as a part of universal humanism? The prejudices and discriminations in the name of caste, races, regions and religions have wrought the world since long. Tagore appeals for the end of such prejudices through his play, thereby cherishing and nourishing universal humanism.

Authors: Bhochhibhoya A , Shrestha R , Guragain M , Sharma R , Joshi KR
Published: June 2023

Introduction: The most important aspect of dental and facial esthetics is the display of anterior teeth. It becomes a primary consideration to restore the correct size and proportion of anterior teeth for patients seeking prosthodontic treatment. There is tremendous influence of geographic location, race, ethnic background, gender in determining the size and proportion of anterior teeth. There is paucity of data regarding the width, length and width/length ration of central incisors in Nepalese population.
Methods: An Observational, descriptive study was conducted in patients visiting T.U. Dental Teaching Hospital. Maxillary impression was made in alginate impression material and poured in dental stone. A digital caliper was used for the measurements, with a precision of 0.01 mm. The maximum mesiodistal width and the maximum crown length of the maxillary central incisors was recorded for each tooth. These data was tabulated and the width/length ratio was calculated. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science Version 17 (SPSS Ver. 17) and descriptive statistics was calculated.
Results: A total of 127 participants were included in the study of which 64 (50.39%) were males and 63 (49.61%) were females. The mean width/length ratio for right and left central incisors are 0.89 and 0.86 respectively for males and 0.89 on both the sides for females. In case of right central incisors, males had higher mean crown width and length than female and these differences were found to be statistically significant. In case of left central incisor, there was a statistically significant difference in mean crown length between male and female, males having higher length score than female.
Conclusion: Males had higher mean crown width and length than female and these differences were found to be statistically significant. The width/length ration for central incisor ranged from 0.86 to 0.89. Knowledge about the size and proportion of upper anterior teeth allows dental rehabilitation taking into consideration the local parameters of a population.

Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: A Retrospective Analysis of 54 Cases of Limited Stage Disease
Authors: Fuquay Kenneth J. , Lenox Robert J. , Zehr Bradley D.
Published: June 2023

A retrospective study of patients with limited stage small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) treated from December 1980 to April 1991, was performed. The objective of the study was to identify patient factors that had an impact on survival. Patients with limited disease were identified using the tumor registry of the Robert Packer Hospital. Their records were reviewed for symptoms, tumor location, TNM (tumor, node, metastasis) staging, modality of therapy, survival, and cause of death.

Fifty-four patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The average survival for the entire group was 19 months. Patients in whom the only manifestation of disease was an abnormal chest X-ray had a mean survival of 32 months. However, asymptomatic stage III patients did not show any survival advantage. In patients with more than three symptoms, average survival reached 12 months. Dyspnea, weight loss, and hoarseness were associated with short survival. Patients who had peripheral tumors had better overall survival regardless of the stage of disease. Extent of disease correlated with survival since 57% of stage I patients were long term survivors (36 or more months) while only 6.5% of stage III patients were. Surgery was the most successful mode of therapy for patients with stage I disease. In patients with stage III SCLC, the combination of chemotherapy and radiation provided the best survival.
The Quality Blog: Proposal of a New Format in Lieu of Academic Research Blog
Authors: Salucci Giovanni
Published: June 2023

Academic institutions are exploring new mediums for publishing and disseminating research output; in this article, the author is primarily focused on the role of Academic Research Blog (ARB) maintained by universities, departments, or groups of scholars. The author investigated the typical patterns and flaws of the current ARB; the analysis suggests that there is a need, and therefore an opportunity, to upgrade it in a new format, which the author calls the Quality Blog. The Quality Blog is defined by a set of eighteen requirements (policies and characteristics). Some of these requirements are already present in the ARBs, while others are derived from the journal format. The novelty of the Quality Blog format that is proposed consists in applying together all of these eighteen requirements (policies and characteristics), inclusively. The Quality Blog will overcome the limitations that the ARBs have and be a more economically sound decision regarding costs for monograph and journal workflows. The ‘Quality’ attribute refers to three dimensions: contents, processes, and technology; the practical and operational choices that each Quality Blog will need to make regarding these three quality dimensions will determine the success and sustainability of the project throughout the course of time. In examining the blogs of the top thirty-eight business schools, the author investigates the blogs by cataloging the types of blogs and then the digital platform used. Of these institutions, 90 per cent have created and maintain blogs, and 51 per cent use the ARB powered by a content management system. These results reveal that the Quality Blog would be a new paradigm of research communications to adopt in place of ARB by higher education institutions, research groups, and initiatives interested in promoting academic publishing projects both in science, technology, and mathematics and in humanities and social science subject areas, and re-prioritizes faster, real-time academic communication.
ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC PROCESS OF ADAPTATION OF BERRY CULTIVATION IN UKRAINE
Authors: Vysochanska M.  , Zubchenko V.  , Koval A.
Published: June 2023

The article analyzes, identifies, and formulates measures for the ecological and economic process of adaptation of berry cultivation in Ukraine. It is substantiated that compliance with environmental standards of berry cultivation in Ukraine can be ensured through various measures. One of the most important measures is the establishment of norms and requirements for the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemical plant protection products. For this purpose, certain limits and norms can be set for the maximum permissible residues of chemicals on grown berries and other products. It is important to conduct regular monitoring of soil and water quality in the areas where berry crops are grown to identify any environmental problems in time and take the necessary measures to address them. It has been determined that support for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in the cultivation of berry crops and providing them with financial assistance for the implementation of environmentally friendly growing technologies is necessary.
Cell Surface Lipoprotein Lipase Enzyme as A Prognostic Indicator in B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Published: June 2023

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) has emerged as a distinct prognostic marker for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a heterogeneous disease with a similar heterogeneity in life expectancy. While many prior studies have focused on tumor expression of LPL mRNA, LPL surface protein expression has been less robustly studied as a prognostic marker. A novel antibody developed at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth has been previously utilized in immunohistochemistry assays of breast and prostate cancer. With this study we aimed to use this antibody as a flow cytometry marker of surface LPL expression correlated with overall survival and time to first treatment. Of the 19 patients studied, our data show that LPL surface protein expression as measured by flow cytometry trended toward a protective effect on overall survival and overall better prognosis.
Art as a reflection of the genetic cultural code (on the example of Kazakh folk dance)
Authors:   Kazakh National Pedagogical University named after Abay, Zh.D. Ramadanova
Published: June 2023

This article presents the results of the study of the genetic cultural code, reflecting the spiritual values of the people on the example of the traditional dance-plastic art of the Ka- zakhs. As a research method, the author uses a semiotic analysis of movements and pos- tures of traditional Kazakh dance, which is part of the Turkic culture. The article provides definitions and functions of such terms as «art», «figurative language in art», «arche- type», «semantics», «semiotics». It also gives an analysis of the art of dance as a semiotic system, based on the fact that the language of dance, expressed by body movements, is non-verbal, containing signs and symbols that reflect, among other things, the subcon- scious thoughts and feelings of the dancer. The author, based on the symbols of sacred geometry and sign language, compares Kazakh national patterns and movements of Kazakh dance with similar names with the interpretation of the meaning of symbolic forms reflecting the cultural code of the people. In comparison, the author relies on the fact that the basis of the Kazakh ornament is made up of signs-symbols, for the development of which the folk masters are the source of the phenomena and objects of the surrounding world. As a result, elements of Kazakh dance are identified, which are common not only for the eastern peoples but also for the dances of the peoples of the Middle East and Egypt, which is indirect evidence of the common roots of the above cultures. The conclusions are partially confirmed by research works in the DNA genealogy of mankind, as well as by the works of a number of Türkologists
