Analysis and Optimization Strategy of Spatial Evolution of Rural Settlement Land in Shandong Province
Authors: Lv Chenghao
Published: October 2023

Due to the lack of unified planning and rectification in rural settlements, a large amount of land has been idle and wasted. Implementing the optimization of rural settlement layout and intensive and efficient use of land is a strategic choice to promote the construction of beautiful rural areas and coordinate urban-rural development. Scientific evaluation of development potential is the prerequisite and foundation for the optimization of rural settlement layout. The current classification optimization of rural settlements often only relies on the static status of the settlements, lacking a comprehensive consideration of the development and evolution laws and potential of rural settlements. To this end, it is planned to conduct a systematic study on the evolution, driving factors, and development potential of rural settlement spatial pattern in Shandong, revealing the characteristics and mechanisms of the evolution of rural settlement spatial pattern, and enriching the theoretical research on rural settlement spatial pattern in Shandong. At the same time, studying the evolution characteristics of rural settlement spatial pattern and proposing optimization types and corresponding strategies for rural settlement spatial pattern can make the research on rural settlement spatial pattern optimization more targeted and feasible, providing reference for the planning and layout of rural settlements in Shandong.
Research on the Impact of Executive Characteristics on Enterprise Digital Transformation：Moderating Effects Based on the Level of Enterprise Risk-taking
Authors: Wang Luwen
Published: October 2023

Using a sample of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2013 to 2019 and based on upper echelons theory, this paper explores the impact of executives' overseas background, academic background and financial background on enterprise digital transformation, and also examines the moderating effects of enterprise risk-taking. It finds that executives' overseas background, academic background and financial background are all positively associated with enterprise digital transformation. Furthermore, enterprise risk-taking can enhance the positive relationship between executives' overseas background, academic background and enterprise digital transformation, but weaken the positive impact of executives' financial background on enterprise digital transformation. These findings possess theoretical significance in enriching studies in related domains, so as to offer important practical insights into optimizing top management team composition and facilitating the digital transformation of companies.

Authors: Wang Yujin
Published: October 2023

With the application and promotion of artificial intelligence technology in China, the necessity of systematic research on the new generation of artificial intelligence policies is prominent. This study focuses on the use of policy tools in the new generation of artificial intelligence policies in China in the new era. Combining quantitative analysis methods of policy texts, it explores the distribution and framework structure of existing policy tools, providing reference for subsequent policy formulation and implementation. Based on the analytical framework of "supply demand environment" policy tools built by Rothwell&Zegveld, this study adopts the Content analysis method to build a two-dimensional analytical framework of X dimension (policy tools) and Y dimension (policy objectives), and collates 418 policy analysis items. This study found that the current generation of artificial intelligence policy tools is still imbalanced and uncoordinated, with fewer supply oriented policy tools and an increasing focus on the construction of innovative industries; The application of demand based policy tools focuses on the construction of pilot zones, but lacks top-level design; The use of environmental policy tools is too frequent, and the proportion of internal tools needs to be adjusted. It is urgent to improve the effectiveness of policy implementation and strengthen the integrity of policy combinations while following the laws of policy evolution.

The contribution deals with the structure of relations between
the state, churches, and religions in the Russian Federation, focusing on the
evolutions brought about by Putin’s government and by the presence of Patriarch Kirill as head of the Orthodox Church of Moscow. The paper focuses on
the status of religious freedom, in the light of both the rules governing it and
the practical applications and repercussions on the front of the state and religious approach to the protection of fundamental rights. These themes have
fallen into the current context of war and in the climate of tensions with
Ukraine, both from a political and religious point of view.

sullo statuto della libertà religiosa, alla luce tanto delle norme che la disciplinano quanto delle applicazioni pratiche e delle ricadute sul fronte dell’approccio statale e religioso alla tutela dei diritti fondamentali. Tali temi sono calati
nell’attuale contesto bellico e nel clima di tensioni con l’Ucraina risalenti nel
tempo, sia dal punto di vista politico sia da quello religioso.
École et Religion en Droit français
Authors: Fornerod Anne
Published: October 2023

In France, public schools play a central role in determining
students’ relationship to religion. It is based on a set of legislative principles
dating from the regime of the Third Republic (1870-1940) which are still applicable today and are characterized by a close and decisive link with laïcité.
However, a significant place is given to private schools –overwhelmingly Catholic– in the name of freedom of education. However, the societal repercussions
of the development of new religious movements, including Islam, are reflected
in public schools by the promotion of laïcité as a value to which students must
adhere and likely to lead to tensions with their freedom of religion. This conception of laïcité is present in the law of August 24, 2021 confirming respect
for the principles of the Republic, which has brought restrictions to the freedom
of education by strictly framing the home education of children and private
schools without contract

L’École publique joue en France un rôle central dans la détermination du rapport à la religion des élèves. Elle s’appuie sur un ensemble de
principes législatifs datant du régime de la IIIe République (1870-1940) qui
sont toujours applicables aujourd’hui et se caractérisent par un lien étroit et
déterminant avec la laïcité. Toutefois, une place conséquente est faite aux écoles privées –très majoritairement catholiques– au nom de la liberté de l’enseignement. Or, les répercussions sociétales du développement de nouveaux
mouvements religieux, dont l’Islam, se traduisent à l’École publique par la
promotion d’une laïcité comme valeur à laquelle les élèves doivent adhérer et
susceptible d’entraîner des tensions avec leur liberté de religion. Cette conception de la laïcité est présente dans la loi du 24 août 2021 confortant le respect

Authors: Holgado-Ramos Daniel , González-Tinoco Elena , Muñoz-Alvis Andrés
Published: October 2023

El sentido de comunidad es uno de los procesos más investigados en psicología comunitaria. Desde su formulación inicial, la pertenencia a estructuras sociales y geográficas más amplias forma parte de la definición del concepto. La investigación sobre el tema ha solido centrarse en el análisis de los factores ambientales y colectivos que modulan la integración de los individuos en grupos y comunidades y ha prestado menos atención a los aspectos individuales que orientan las interacciones directas que las personas mantienen en estos espacios. En este estudio analizamos la relación de los estilos apego individual y los rasgos de personalidad sobre el sentido de comunidad en 305 entrevistados de diversos barrios de Sevilla (España) y Barranquilla (Colombia). Los resultados muestran un efecto predictivo modesto del estilo de apego seguro y la amabilidad principalmente sobre las dimensiones de self y pertenencia del sentido de comunidad. Estos resultados evidencian la necesidad de tener en cuenta diferentes niveles de análisis en la evaluación de la pertenencia a contextos comunitarios y la utilidad de definir modelos que incluyan la interacción de factores individuales y contextuales en su explicación
Navigating the Observer's Paradox: Effective Strategies for Sociolinguistic Research
Authors: Oladeji Shote Adedapo
Published: October 2023

The Observer's Paradox, a fundamental challenge in sociolinguistic research, arises from the potential alteration of language behavior in the presence of researchers, leading to an incomplete and biased representation of natural language use. This abstract provides an overview of strategies for mitigating the Observer's Paradox, drawing on recent developments in the field. By exploring innovative methods such as sociolinguistic interviews, remote data collection, and participant observation, researchers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of language variation and social dynamics. Additionally, this abstract emphasizes the importance of reflexive and ethical considerations in addressing the paradox, encouraging researchers to adopt a holistic approach that combines multiple strategies to obtain more accurate and authentic sociolinguistic data. Successfully navigating the Observer's Paradox can ultimately lead to richer insights into language variation and its societal implications.

Authors: PETRICEVIC Stjepan , MUSTIC Daria
Published: October 2023

This research paper investigates the perception, acceptance, and media presentation of the digital assistant Andrija in the healthcare sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research used combined methods that include analysis of the media presentation of the Andrija project and the public's reaction on Facebook, collection of public announcements on the Facebook social network, and their quantitative and qualitative analysis. The research sample consisted of 82 posts on Facebook that corresponded to the keywords "Andrija, digital assistant". The research results show that Andrija digital assistant played a key role in providing basic information about the COVID-19 pandemic and supporting the public in making informed decisions. The analysis of the media presentation of the Andrija project on Facebook revealed a diversity in the size of the posts, with an emphasis on image/video material and the presence of links to official websites. Also, Andrija chatbot was generally well received, with a high number of "Like" reactions and emotional connection expressed through "Love" reactions on analyzed Facebook posts. However, there are variations in user perception. Examination of the correlation between the size of the post (number of words) and reactions on Facebook posts did not show a statistically significant correlation between the size of the post and the total number of quick reactions, but a statistically significant positive correlation was found between the size of the post and the number of "Like" reactions.

Authors: SOLIMAN Waleed Mahmoud , CHEN Zhiyuan , JOHNSON Colin , WONG Sabrina
Published: October 2023

The significance of macroeconomic policy changes on ETF markets and financial markets cannot be disre-garded. This study endeavors to predict the future trend of these markets by incorporating a group of selected economic indicators sourced from various ETF markets and utilizing probabilistic autoregressive recurrent net-works (DeepAR). The choice of economic indicators was made based on the advice of a domain expert and the results of correlation estimation. These indicators were then divided into two categories: "US" indicators, which depict the impact of US policies such as the federal reserve fund rate and quantitative easing on the global markets, and "region-specific" indicators. The findings of the study indicate that the inclusion of "US" indicators enhances the prediction accuracy and that the DeepAR model outperforms the LSTM and GRU models. Fur-thermore, a web platform has been developed to apply the DeepAR models, which enables the user to predict the trend of an ETF ticker for the next 15 time-steps using the most recent data. The platform also possesses the capability to automatically generate fresh datasets from corresponding RESTful API sources in case the current data becomes outdated.

An Aspect of Alcoholic Beverages in Novel and Poetry of North Korea after the Liberation
Authors:   The Academy of Real Korean History, Lee Hwaseon
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this paper is to find literary motifs that South Korean and North Korean literature can handle together even under different political systems. Previous studies have generally tended to focus on examining how the literature of present-day South Korea differs from that of North Korea when identifying certain aspects of North Korean socialist literature.
The goal of this paper is to find out what literary motifs the literature of North and South Korea can nevertheless share. To this end, we looked into which materials most honestly reveal the instinctive side of humans as research subjects. It is considered to be none other than the alcohol and drinking culture that the South and the North have side by side. In other words, it is believed that Korean alcohol and its culture, which originated from myth, will be an excellent material that both South and North Korea can empathize with as human beings even today, without any special interpretation, and can be reinterpreted in a modern way. Accordingly, among the literary works published in North Korea from 1948 to the early 2000s, medium and short stories and poetry were the focus of the study. This period was a period in which division was solidified on the Korean Peninsula for nearly 70 years. According to the research method, the period was divided into four sections: liberation and the establishment of North Korea's independent government, the Korean War and post-war recovery, the Chollima Movement, and the Juche ideology and Juche period. This is because North Korean literature is inseparable from the transformation of the political system.
In conclusion, we analyzed North Korea's political system and reality through the socialist constitution that North Korea advocates, and explained how the element of alcohol appears in North Korean literature as a factor that prevents us from losing humanity and humanity, which literature generally pursues. Next, the symbolic nature of alcohol was identified as a common literary motif that can be shared between South and North Korea.

Funerary art and electroplating: history, present and future
Authors: Viegas Lucas Stephano , Oberdiek Alexia , Ferreira Jane Zoppas
Published: October 2023

Electroplating is the technique of producing an artifact by electroplating a metal onto a model. This manufacturing method can be applied to produce pieces with complex shapes and a wide variety of dimensions and, mainly in the 19th century, it was used to make funerary art items. This technique is also used to produce replicas of artistic items in order to safeguard them, but also to make them public through these replicas. Although electroplating is a widely used technique, galvanoplastic sculptures present a laborious restoration process due to the difficulty of electroplating only the regions of damaged deposits and the fragile core. In order to identify the main production characteristics and damage present, with a view to a possible restoration stage, the statuary from the Santa Casa de Misericórdia cemetery in Porto Alegre was studied. Samples were taken from the mould and the electrodeposited layer of statues in different states of conservation to be analyzed by metallography. It was possible to observe the structure of the electrodeposits, the width and quantity of layers deposited and the material used to make the model.

The diversity in the Capsicum genus and the low number of ornamental pepper cultivars available have stimulate the development of breeding programs for this species. The study of segregating populations is important to obtain ornamental pepper cultivars. The objective of this work was to detect the variability in a F2 pepper population through principal component analysis (PCA) considering characters of interest of ornamental peppers and identify which variables affect the height of these ornamental plants through trail analysis. A crossing between two contrasting materials followed by self-fertilization of the F1 population was carried out and seven variables of ornamental interest were evaluated in 333 plants of the F2 generation. The evaluated variables were: mean fruit weight (MFW), mean fruit length (MFL), mean fruit diameter (MFD), mean peduncle length (MPL), mean pericarp thickness (MPT), plant height (PH), and flowering cycle (FC). The results were subjected to principal component analysis and trail analysis using PH as the base characteristic. The two first components explained 90% of the genetic variability of the population; PH and FC together reached 96.9%; and FC alone was responsible for 62.1%. The trail analysis showed that PH is more affected by the FC (24.35%) and MPL (16.6%); increases in these variables may increase PH. MFD presented a low-magnitude negative effect on the base variable (-1.99%). MFW, MFL, and MPT presented low effect on PH, 0.35%, 0.76%, and 7.06%, respectively. A genetic variability that can be explored in breeding programs was detected in the segregating population of ornamental pepper evaluated, mainly for FC and PH. Despite FC and MPL affect positively the plant height, this effect has a low magnitude.

Published: October 2023

Background. Posterior stabilization surgery is considered the gold standard for restoring spine stability in patients with traumatic thoracolumbar fractures. However, whether long-segment (LS) stabilization or short-segment (SS) stabilization is an optimal approach for achieving more effective restoration of spinal stability remains unclear.Material and methods. Patients who underwent posterior stabilization surgery for traumatic thoracolumbar fractures were included in the study. Radiological parameters were measured using pre- and post-surgical thoracolumbar computed tomography (CT) scans and compared between patients who received LS and SS stabilization. Results. Ninety-eight consecutive patients (mean age 4414, 50% male) who underwent posterior stabilization surgery for traumatic thoracolumbar fractures were included. LS stabilization was performed in 52 patients, while SS stabilization was performed in 46 patients. Among spinal stability parameters measured on pre-surgical thoracolumbar CT scans, the anterior vertebral height (AVH) was significantly lower in the LS stabilization group compared to the SS stabilization group (14.44.0 mm vs. 16.44.0 mm, p=0.017), indicating a more severe compression fracture in the LS stabilization group. However, all parameters improved on post-surgical thoracolumbar CT scans, and there were no significant differences between LS stabilization and SS stabilization groups in terms of the restoration of spinal stability parameters. The type of stabilization (LS vs. SS stabilization) did not show an association with post-surgical measurements of spinal stability parameters (B=0.27, 95% CI -1.87 to 2.42, p=0.800 for superior inferior end plate angle (SIEA), B=0.20, 95% CI -1.33 to 1.74, p=0.796 for AVH, and B=0.39, 95% CI -1.72 to 2.50, p=0.714 for Cobb angle).Conclusions. Both LS and SS stabilization approaches yield similar results in terms of restoring spine stability parameters in patients with traumatic thoracolumbar fractures. The choice of surgical approach should be individualized based on the patient’s overall status and the surgeon’s experience.

Published: October 2023

En los últimos años, los Recursos Educativos Abiertos (REA) han ganado un alcance significativo a nivel mundial como medio para facilitar el acceso gratuito y abierto a materiales educativos. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de la investigación empírica sobre la adopción de REA en la educación superior se lleva a cabo en Estados Unidos, mientras que Europa y otros países de América Latina sigue siendo limitada. El objetivo del estudio se centró en analizar el uso de los recursos educativos abiertos dispuestos para la educación inicial a nivel regional. La metodología de investigación fue de tipo no experimental de alcance descriptivo-explicativo y enfoque cualitativo; se utilizó la modalidad documental, dado a que se realizó una revisión sistemática a partir del uso de palabras clave en los buscadores como Google Académico, Scielo, entre otros, cuyos resultados se organizaron y posteriormente se resumieron para facilitar su análisis. Los principales hallazgos encontrados reflejaron que recursos educativos abiertos suponen una oportunidad para optimizar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, si se adquieren los conocimientos respectivos para saber identificar aquellos que cuentan con las características, respectivas para que así los docentes a cargo de estudiantes de educación inicial puedan generar adaptaciones, combinarlas y redistribuirlas para una mejor enseñanza. Se concluye que los recursos educativos abiertos en primera instancia contribuyen al acceso de información de diversas asignaturas y consecuentemente ayudan a generar conocimiento en los estudiantes de nivel inicial, esto principalmente porque en los textos en los que se encuentran plasmados permiten generar asociaciones con elementos de referencia.

La motricidad fina implica en los niños el control y coordinación de los movimientos musculares pequeños, dándoles armonía y precisión de los movimientos finos, haciendo énfasis que esta se logra desarrollar incluso antes de que el bebé nazca, es por tanto una capacidad que está relacionada con movimientos finos y gestos específicos del cuerpo. En este estudio se planteó el objetivo de diseñar un sistema de actividades para el desarrollo de la motricidad fina en niños de cuatro años de la Unidad Educativa Daniel López del cantón Jipijapa. Para ellos se realizó una investigación bajo un enfoque mixto cuali-cuantitativo de tipo descriptiva, además se trabajó con los métodos teóricos como el inductivo – deductivo, el de análisis y síntesis, y los empíricos dentro de los cuales se utilizó la entrevista y la ficha de observación. Dentro de los principales resultados se identificó que los docentes conocen la importancia de la aplicación del sistema de actividades para fortalecer la motricidad fina en los niños, pero en realidad no se logran aplicar acciones que contribuyan en la misma, por ende, el estado actual del desarrollo motriz fino en los niños es deficiente. Se infiere que con la aplicación de un sistema de actividades se considera la mejora de la motricidad fina en los niños, por lo tanto, los docentes deben coordinar las acciones para su respectiva aplicación.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of climate change on areas suitable for Arabica coffee cultivation under different climate change scenarios. The work was carried out for all of Brazil, using data from 1960-2020. The BCC - CSM 1 climate model was used to obtain future climate data for all RCP 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, 8.5 scenarios. All future scenarios of climate change showed a reduction in the total areas suitable for coffee cultivation in Brazil, with an average reduction of 50%. Furthermore, areas restricted by excessive heat and water deficiency were the most common throughout the country in the future scenarios, with an average of 63% of the entire territory.

The present investigation was conducted to examine age/parity specific incidence of disposal and to assess the effect of various non-genetic factors on disposal of Sahiwal cattle maintained at the Institute. The analysis was carried out on data of 1,984 calving records of 519 Sahiwal cows born between 1985 and 2009, and 830 female calves born between 1986 and 2009. Traits considered in present study were abnormal calving, disposal of female calves up to age at first calving (AFC) and disposal of adult cows up to 4 lactations. The overall incidence of abnormal calving was 5.75% and was significantly affected by season and period of calving. Higher incidence of abnormal calvings were found during autumn and rainy seasons and it also revealed an increasing trend over the periods. Overall incidence of disposal of female calves up to AFC was 33.78%, comprising 9.11% due to culling and 24.67% due to mortality. Overall disposal of adult cows up to 4 lactations was 76.65%, comprising 11.85% due to mortality and 64.80% due to culling and was significantly affected by period of first calving. Major reasons of disposal were mortality during calfhood stage and culling during adult life. Maximum mortality was observed during first month of age. Therefore, intensive care of calves especially during first month of age against inclement weather conditions and improved breeding and management of cows to reduce involuntary culling would be expected to result in reduced likelihood of undesirable disposal of animals.

The aim of this study was to analyze polymorphism C– 512T in the IGF-1 gene in relation to milk production traits in Polish Red-and-White cattle. Traits analyzed were: milk yield, content of fat, protein, lactose, dry matter and somatic cell count. Polymorphism analysis showed presence of 2 alleles in the investigated herd with frequency C – 0.51, T – 0.49. Association analysis showed that cows with CC and CT genotypes are characterized by higher milk yield in the second lactation comparing to those with TT genotype. Moreover, CC genotype was favorable for somatic cell count.

With the graving acceptance of Logistics and Supply Chain Management as critical business concern, there is an emerging realisation that dramatic changes in information communication technology lead to this global logistics business. Managing logistics effectively is a complex and challenging task, as a result of the continuing trends of expanding product variety, short product life cycles, increased outsourcing, globalization of businesses and continuous advances in information technology. In recent years, Logistics Management has grown in acceptance and now at the forefront of every business planning. In this milieu, Information Communication Technology plays a pivotal role in ensuring continued Logistics firm competitiveness and success. The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of Information Communication Technology in articulating effective Logistics operation. However, the theoretical basis of Information Communication Technology has not been fully understood within the context of Logistics Management, such that it will give a pointer to how these inherent costs could be managed or saved as well as supplier customer collaborative relationship. It is in the light of this that the study attempt to give theoretical considerations, through descriptive methodology approach, on how basic objectives of logistic can be achieved and its ultimate goal can be realized. The studies conclude that emphasis should be placed on attributes of Information Communication Technology in order to enhance Logistics efficiency and effectiveness and to support the support performance of global Logistics networks.

This study was undertaken to ascertain the international news flow and social media networks: a survey of stranglehold of Western media. The objectives of the study were among others: to find out if new flow debate is still relevant with the emergence of social media networks in the news production and distribution and to find if the traditional media is still setting public agenda in this era of social media networks popularity. The method used was descriptive survey design. The study, however, using secondary data from the Pew Research Centre’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (2021), social media online clippings and library content. The instrument for data collection was secondary data for the study was gathered through the use of this study, however, using secondary data from the Pew Research Centre’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (2021). This enabled the study to collate first hand data and information on the phenomenon under study directly from the target population. Data collected were analysed using quantitative method which were presented and analysed entirely using simple percentages and would be arranged in frequency tables. Findings show that social media channels are already neck deep in setting agendas for public discourse. These results also show that there are similarities in daily or weekly issues for discourse between the social media networks and the traditional media organizations. Where they differ, it is even observed that the public line up behind the social media networks because of it is participatory, interactive and free of obvious charges (cost) nature. The study concluded here that traditional media are no longer setting the public or media agenda alone. The emergence of social media networks has reset the calculations, opened up the space and attracted more participation in what people think they should be talking about. Soc
