Authors: Van Bommel Jorryt , Palmér Hanna , Ebbelind Andreas
Published: June 2024

I denna studie arbetade förskoleklasselever med division genom problemlösning och problemformulering. Data kommer från en undervisningsaktivitet uppdelad på två tillfällen. Aktiviteten planerades i samarbete mellan förskoleklasslärare och forskare och genomfördes i 11 förskoleklasser med 205 elever. Vid problemlösning urskilde eleverna relationen mellan helhet och delar, storleken på varje del, dela som division samt kontinuerlig och diskret mängd som aspekter av division. Vid problemformulering återkom dessa aspekter samt tillkom aspekten att täljaren kan vara ett rationellt tal. Utöver dessa aspekter av division formulerade eleverna till exempel uppgifter med en liknande kontext (kakor) men med ett annat matematikinnehåll (till exempel subtraktion). Då det finns få studier om problemlösning och problemformulering med yngre elever bidrar denna studie med kunskap av värde för både (förskoleklass)lärare och forskare.
Division in preschool class through problem solving and problem posing
 

In this study, preschool-class students worked with problem solving and problem posing on division. Data comes from an activity divided into two sessions. The activity was planned in collaboration between preschool-class teachers and researchers and carried out in 11 preschool classes with 205 students. While solving problems, students distinguished the relationship between the parts and whole, the size of each part, dividing as division and continuous and discrete quantities as aspects of division. While posing problems, these aspects reappeared as well as the aspect that the numerator can be a rational number. Apart from problems on division, the students posed problems with a similar context (cookies) but a different mathematical content (e.g., subtraction). As there are few studies on problem solving and problem posing with younger students, this study contributes with knowledge of value to both (preschool class) teachers and researchers.

Poblados históricos y su manifestación memorial
Authors: Ocampo Amanda Eva
Published: June 2024

En la provincia de Misiones (Argentina) y su región fronteriza, formada por los países de Brasil y Paraguay, existen en la actualidad poblados históricos; espacios en donde tuvieron lugar dinámicas de un periodo particular que dejó huellas materiales, siendo parte de un patrimonio cultural digno de observar desde distintas disciplinas de estudio como la arqueología, el turismo cultural, la arquitectura y, fundamentalmente, desde la investigación patrimonial. A partir de este contexto general, un ejemplo interesante es el pueblo de Concepción de la Sierra, ubicado al sur de la provincia. En él se destaca un trazado urbano típico del presente, pero con vestigios materiales provenientes del periodo en que el espacio formaba parte de una reducción de jesuitas y guaraníes (1619-1768). En este trabajo se presenta parte de una investigación arqueológica realizada en el casco urbano de dicho pueblo, y además se aprovecha la oportunidad para discutir determinados interrogantes que fueron surgiendo a lo largo del mismo. Se propone entonces indagar en el particular proceso de patrimonialización que caracteriza a Concepción, cómo se manifiesta su memoria y cómo la comunidad local coteja la idea de proteger y cuidar a la vez que se compara e insiste con un pueblo de mayor desarrollo. Se propone observar cómo los diálogos entre distintas perspectivas de estudio nos permiten repensar estos espacios y sus formas de definir patrimonios. Cómo un sitio arqueológico convive en la cotidianeidad de un territorio en constante movimiento y cuáles son las acciones adecuadas para cuidar (o no) manifestaciones memoriales propias de un determinado periodo histórico.

Independence and Responsibility of Central Banks
Authors: Kvasnička Michal
Published: June 2024

A strong information asymmetry may exist between central bank managers and both the public and the government. Therefore managerial discretion of the central bank managers is possible. On the other hand the government is able to constrain, or threaten it better than anyone else. For this reason the central bank can neither be fully controlled by the government, nor fully independent of it. The actual level of dependence may differ from the formal one, and may not be observable. There can also be many special-interest groups in the economy that can try either to bribe or threaten the central special bank managers. The strength and aims of these groups may change through the time. For this reason the generally optimal level of the central bank formal independence might not exist.
Economic Growth and Institutional Coherence
Authors: Czeglédi Pál
Published: June 2024

The paper aims at integrating the Lachmannian concept of institutional coherence and flexibility into the Austrian, entrepreneurial theory of economic growth. Using this as a general framework together with the Misesian interventionist theory, it explains some general features of the relationship between regulation and economic growth. The paper argues that as regulatory institutions have a restrictive effect on the entrepreneurial process of the market, the enforcement of these rules is a crucial factor in determining the extent and the way countries shape their regulatory environment. By this the paper identifies a channel through which enforcement contributes to economic development.

QUANTUM DISCORD AND ENTANGLEMENT FOR TWO ATOMS IN A KERR MEDIUM AND STARK SHIFT
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, College of Science, Jouf University, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia, Youssef M.
Published: June 2024

. This study analyzes the effect of the Kerr medium and Stark shift on the entanglement between two two-level atoms and a single-mode cavity in a quantum model. The findings demonstrate that the entanglement between the atoms varies periodically over time, with the periods affected by the Kerr medium and Stark shift. The Kerr medium and Stark shift hinder atom disentanglement, resulting in a prolonged stationary entangled state. The Stark shift can also enhance atom-atom entanglement for partially entangled states. These findings reveal that the Kerr medium and Stark shift can effectively control the entanglement between two atoms. Moreover, weak measurement strength impacts quantum particles' entanglement, which decreases over time. Quantum discord is more affected by weak measurement strengths than entanglement, decreasing until a critical point and increasing with a further rise in weak measurement strengths.

Authors: Nurkholis Andi , Styawati Styawati , Suhartanto Alvi
Published: June 2024

Soybean is the primary source of vegetable protein nutrition, containing fat and vitamins that Indonesian people widely consume. The decline in soybean production in Indonesia every year is due to the reduced area of soybean cultivation, thereby increasing dependence on imports from other countries. Land suitability maps can provide directions for priority locations for soybean cultivation based on land characteristics and weather to produce optimal production. The SVM multi-class algorithm has been applied to classify land suitability data to create a land suitability map but has yet to obtain optimal accuracy, especially for sigmoid kernels. The objective of this study is to enhance the performance of the sigmoid kernel SVM by utilizing the firefly algorithm. The study focuses on evaluating the suitability of soybean cultivation in Bogor and Grobogan Regencies. The results of the tests indicate that the firefly algorithm-optimized SVM (FA-SVM) significantly improves accuracy compared to the SVM without optimization. The accuracy achieved by FA-SVM is 89.95%, while the SVM without optimization only achieves an accuracy of 65.99%. The best parameters produced by the firefly algorithm are C=2.33 and σ=0.45 obtained from firefly customization, and the number of generations is 10. Based on this, the optimization algorithm can be used to produce an optimal model. The best optimal model obtained can be used as a guide for priority locations/areas for soybean cultivation by farming communities, so as to produce maximum soybean productivity.

Published: June 2024

Kindergarten is crucial for today's education. Kindergarten helps kids develop in all areas. Students work in groups on a simple project task in this study. The work includes topic-related activities. Kids should learn early on that being an entrepreneur will shape their identity & future. This condition makes someone realize that their long-term desire to be an entrepreneur comes from their academic success. This study investigated how the 35 questions are assembled & what improves them. 195 kindergarten teachers participated in the study. The sample was analyzed using EFA & CFA. Exploratory factor analysis revealed twelve unknown variables. The above variables explained 80% of the variation. Various factors explained the remaining 20%. All Cronbach's alpha values exceed requirements. CR >.7 & AVE >.5, indicating credible & tested constructs. The EFA showed that 195 research samples were sufficient because the KMO was above 0.50. This allowed more research. Six-factor solutions explained over 80.71% of the variation, so the EFA liked them. These factors kept the results consistent with those of previous studies. These traits facilitate legislator-educator dialogue rather than kindergarten teacher business observation. Researchers can use these properties for cluster analysis or multivariate linear regression. This subject requires more research because students develop a structured approach. Furthermore, experts should examine the research on what is making kindergarten entrepreneurship instruction popular.

Published: June 2024

A secure image could be achieved by encryption, a technique for securing images over different media transmission lines with privacy and keeping them safe for the receiver. This paper proposes an image encryption approach to achieve excellent security by combining a lightweight encryption algorithm with the chaotic Peter De Jong map. The Lilliput algorithm, lightweight encryption, uses the Peter De-Jones map to produce keys. The suggested approach achieved a suitable level of complexity that matched the historical demands for transmission images. Two methods were used to conduct the tests on a standard image collection: an encrypted image and a generated key. Standard metrics find the similarity between the input and output images to achieve an accurate proposal performance. The encrypted image's entropy was assessed and discovered that it matched the original image values exactly. The results were satisfactory regarding obtaining a precise correlation rate between the original and encrypted photos. The decryption and reconstruction of the image were completed quickly and steadily, with a high success rate and excellent outcomes. The proposed approach was evaluated on a dataset of well-known test photos with unique features, including varying degrees of lightness and shade to create the perfect test.

Published: June 2024

One well-known technological advancement that significantly impacts many things is the Internet of Things (IoT). These include connectivity, work, healthcare, and the economy. IoT can improve life in many situations, including classrooms and smart cities, through work automation, increased output, and decreased worry. However, cyberattacks and other risks significantly impact intelligent Internet of Things applications. Key generation is essential in information security and the various applications that use a distributed system, networks, or Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Several algorithms have been developed to protect IoT applications from malicious attacks; since IoT devices usually have small memory resources and limited computing and power resources, traditional key generation methods are inappropriate because they require high computational power and memory usage. This paper proposes a method of Dynamic Key Generation Method (DKGM) to overcome the difficulty using a specific chaotic map called the Zaslavskii Map and a swarm intelligent algorithm for optimization called Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO). DKGM's ability to generate several groups-seed numbers using the Zaslavskii map depends on various initial parameters. GWO selects strong generated numbers depending on the randomness test as a fitness function. Three wolfs GWα, GWβ, and GWΩ, are used to simulate the behavior of a pack of grey wolves when attacking prey. The speed and position of each wolf are updated depending on the best three wolves. Finally, use the sets GWα in the round, GWβ in the subkey, and GWΩ in shifting operations of the Chacha20 hash function. The dynamic procedure was used to improve the high-security analysis of the DKGM approach over earlier methods. Simulations show that the suggested method is preferable for IoT applications.

Participation in scientific research projects is the main way of postgraduate training, and academic aspiration and interest is an important variable affecting the quality of postgraduate training. So, how does participating in scientific research projects affect the academic aspiration and interest of master students? By interviewing 28 master students from 6 universities in H Province and using the grounded theory research method, a path model of the impact of participating in scientific research projects on the academic aspiration and interest of master students is formed: taking personal characteristics as the initial condition, important others such as tutors and research group examples and scientific research environment as the support category, and the change of graduate students' psychological state as the intermediary, Graduate students will take active or passive action strategies in scientific research activities, which will enhance or reduce their academic aspiration and interest. The change of academic aspiration and interest will react on their psychological state, forming a virtuous circle or bad circle. The model has important enlightening significance for graduate education and management.
Enseñanza del derecho y democracia constitucional en Argentina
Authors: Aga Javier
Published: June 2024

La democracia constitucional argentina necesita de un derecho donde las reglas que se dicten deben ser escritas por todos, en nombre de todos y para mejorar la calidad de vida de todos. Para ello, requiere de operadores jurídicos con protagonismo cívico para decir —iurisdictio— el derecho como práctica social de cuatro maneras posibles: enseñando, asesorando, abogando y resolviendo. Para la ardua tarea de enseñar, en primer lugar debemos advertir que el derecho se reconfiguró con la recuperación de la democracia en nuestro país; en segundo término urge definir la concepción que se tiene del derecho; y en tercer lugar, corresponde contextualizar el escenario para que el jurista de hoy pueda prepararse para el mundo que viene. Las tres consideraciones resultan imprescindibles a la hora de provocar un cambio sustancial en la educación jurídica argentina. Precisamos de abogados que, en su accionar diario, hagan de la Constitución Nacional una práctica social. Para que esto suceda, debemos provocar un cambio significativo en la actual enseñanza del derecho, más acorde con una cultura republicana y democrática que apunte al progreso social de todos sin exclusión alguna, solidaria, previsible y respetuosa de la norma. Transcurridos cuatro décadas de democracia constitucional, nuestra actual enseñanza del derecho sigue siendo interpelada a la luz de los debates que se promueven, acerca de cómo, qué, quién, a quienes y cuáles son sus objetivos políticos institucionales.

In the context of knowledge production and knowledge-based economy leading to current global competition among universities of the world, the research activity of universities is of particular importance in terms of creating, disseminating and using new knowledge for the benefits of society. From this point of view, it is considered appropriate to determine the factors having an influence on the research productivity of universities, and to study deeper the issues of proper organization, planning and management of the future research activity. In addition, as new educational policies prioritize the research activities of higher education institutions and encourage the establishment of research universities, it is of particular importance to investigate individual and institutional factors affecting research productivity.

The historical achievements of the Azerbaijan Army in the years of independence formed the feelings of military patriotism in both students and young people. The achievements of our army during the years of independence were realized thanks to the army formations managed by the great leader Heydar Aliyev and the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, and thanks to the inflexible people and nation they lead, we were able to pass on the feelings of patriotism to next generations. The achievements of our army in the years of independence, how powerful a state we are, how much military knowledge, skills and physically strong iron fist we have, are reflected in the military patriotism of our new generation. Basically, the place and role of the First Karabakh, Second Karabakh, April battles and other historical achievements in the education of military patriotism are irreplaceable.
Financial Cartography

Geographic maps have been of military and economic importance throughout the ages. Rulers have commissioned maps to control the financial, economic, political, and military aspects of their sovereign entities. Large scale projects like the Ordnance Survey in the UK in the late 18th century, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition a few decades later to map the American West, are early examples of trailblazing efforts to create accurate modern maps of high strategic importance.  Digitalization, globalization, and a larger urban and educated workforce necessitate a new understanding of the world, beyond traditional maps based on geographic features. Many of today's most critical threats know no geographic borders. For instance, cyber attacks can be orchestrated through globally distributed bot networks; just-in-time manufacturing relies on the free flow of goods across jurisdictions; global markets and the infrastructures that support them relay information and price signals globally within seconds. A lack of understanding financial interdependencies was clearly demonstrated by the freezing of credit markets in the last financial crisis and the uncertainty created by Brexit. Ten years after the financial crisis, we are still only beginning to map, model and visualise these critical maps of the financial world.  We call for attention to work on a large scale project of "Financial Cartography" to address this gap. In financial cartography, we replace geographic proximity with logical proximity, such as financial interdependence, similarity (e.g., of portfolio or income streams), a flow of transactions or a magnitude of exposures. Similar to geographic maps, financial maps will find many important uses across business, government and military domains. Critically, they are needed for protection and projection of state power, for optimizing and managing risks in business, and in making policy decisions related to the major challenges of climate change, mass migration and geopolitical instability.  Fundamentally, cartography is a way that reality can be modeled to communicate information on “big data” sets. Cartography allows one to simplify and reduce the complexity of the data to highlight salient features of the data, and to filter out noise. This makes maps ideal devices to increase the bandwidth by which information can be communicated to its users, for making quick decision based on complex data. In the following pages, we make a case and provide starting points for a research agenda around "Financial Cartography" in three interrelated parts:  Maps of Trade Networks Maps of Financial Markets and  Maps of Financial Market Infrastructures

The archaeological findings in Bukit Choras are among the best preserved structural remains of Bujang Valley. Previous studies have revealed sacred buildings made of laterite blocks, ancient water reservoirs, as well as a Buddhist inscription which can be dated back to the 6th/7th Century C.E. Although Bukit Choras is currently located 8 km inland, in ancient times, it could have been nearer to the shoreline similar to other pre-14th Century coastal sites of Bujang Valley. Thus, this research attempts to reconstruct the paleoshoreline of the area by determining whether the dryland surrounding Bukit Choras was once submerged under the sea. In this study, hand-augered soil samples from the surrounding areas of Bukit Choras were analysed by using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and digital microscopy, while 14C dating was carried out on two organic samples extracted from the sediments. The possible locations of the paleoshoreline were deduced based on the analysis of geochemical and microfossil contents of the sediments while taking into account the sea-level fluctuations and the geomorphology of the area. Thus, it is concluded that Bukit Choras was once a coastal site, surrounded by a marine and swampy environment, while the archaeological site functioned as one of the coastal settlements of the Bujang Valley.
The Concept of Masculinity in Brand Personality and Its Impact on Advertising Effectiveness
Authors:   , Kreicāns Toms
Published: June 2024

Consumers’ changing perception of masculinity has created a problem for brand strategists and advertisers. Since masculinity is now branded, and men are increasingly marketed to and offered visions of masculinity for consumption, masculinity is now considered to be one of the most prominently used social resources within advertising. The topicality of the Doctoral Thesis research is related to the challenges the brand strategists and advertisers face concerning the ever-changing consumer perceptions of masculinity. Given the importance of masculinity in advertising, this research is relevant in terms of both marketing and economic considerations.
