Authors: Vasyura S.A. , Byakova D.Yu.
Published: November 2024

The article presents results of empirical study of correlation between experiencing loneliness and Machiavellianism by socially frustrated students. Experience of loneliness is considered to be a multi-dimensional phenomenon. 118 students of Udmurt State University participated in the study - 30 men and 88 women. The study design consists of following methods: Diagnosing the Level of Social Frustration (L.I. Wasserman), Multidimensional Inventory of Loneliness Experience (E.N. Osin, D.A. Leontiev), Experience of Loneliness Questionnaire (E.A. Manakova), The Method of Machiavellianism Researcing of Personality (V.V. Znakov), Diagnosing the Acceptability of Misleading Methods (A.A. Vikhman). The study applies mathematical methods of data processing: the method of descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U Test, correlation analysis. Data processing was carried out by using SPSS 20.0.0 for Windows. In the course of the work, it was established that students with social frustration tend to experience alienation and loneliness as a negative feeling, as deficiency of communication with close people, as experiencing the lack of support and understanding, as sensitivity to rejection. Students with social frustration avoid situations with possibility of taking responsibility for other people. The research shows numerous connections between indicators of loneliness and Machiavellianism among socially frustrated students. Such indicators as denial of experiencing loneliness, diversionary response (manipulation of information relevance) and Machiavellianism are central to the connection system. The results of the study can be used by specialists of the psychological service in universities for the purpose of development psychological help to students who experience loneliness. Study results can be likewise applied to psychological consulting and developing programs for the psychological prevention of the negative consequences of loneliness.
Formation and Development of Reading Psychology from Antique to the Present
Authors: Kosenkova O.V.
Published: November 2024

This article examines the psychology of reading in historical context of its formation and development. This allows to clearly see the achievements in line with this direction, as well as formulate prospects for further research. The article reveals the prerequisites for emergence and process of the reading psychology formation, as well as its current state. In the periods of Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and Modern Times, the psychology of reading as an independent field did not yet exist; reading and writing exist as privileged activities; books act as sources of knowledge preservation and the development of certain sciences. The reading psychology formation as an independent direction in psychology and related sciences began to develop actively in the West at the end of the XIX century, and in Russia at the beginning of the XX century. The emergence of the reading psychology is connected with the emergence of psychology itself as an independent science. For a long time, the reading psychology has developed as a clinical field of knowledge - bibliotherapy. As an independent term, "psychology of reading" began to be used in the 70s of the XX century. Modern ideas about the psychology of reading are primarily associated with the beginning of the information society formation, the emergence of clip thinking, a decline in general education and literacy, and a decrease in interest in reading. Currently, the psychology of reading has become a separate field of psychology and continues to develop actively in modern society, going through a period of comprehension of its subject, methods, goals in connection with the active development of science. The existing approaches to date are actively beginning to be applied in practice.

Enhancing the energy and environmental efficiency of the city's infrastructure based on optimizing its fuel and energy balance
Authors: Yavorovsky Y. V.
Published: November 2024

The article considers the direction of increasing the energy and environmental efficiency of the city's energy infrastructure through the modernization of existing thermal power plants (TPP) and combined heat and power (CHP) plants using combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants.  Fuel and energy balances of electric power plants have been constructed, and the energy and environmental effects of the use of CCGT have been assessed. The modeling of energy and environmental indicators for the thermal circuits of the CCGT was conducted using the Thermoflex, GT PRO software (Thermoflow) and the ISC Manager program developed at the National Research University "Moscow Power Engineering Institute (MPEI)". The analysis of CCGT efficiency in urban energy applications is based on modeling and optimizing the city’s fuel and energy balance (FEB). For this purpose, the OptiTEB program developed at the Department of PTS at the National Research University "MРEI" is used. Constructing fuel and energy systems in cities and regions is a pressing task that enables the planning of a strategy for the development of the urban fuel and energy complex (FEC), with an assessment of the magnitude of harmful emissions, including greenhouse gases. The article presents the results of work on establishing scientific foundations for modern heat supply systems, exemplified by a mathematical model of the Moscow thermal power plant and its optimization, taking into account the projected development of electric transport infrastructure over the coming decades, improving the thermal protection characteristics of newly constructed buildings, and the potential increase in the use of renewable energy sources (RES). The growth in the share of electric transport should be linked to an increase in the share of renewable energy sources (RES). Simply increasing the number of electric vehicles without a significant rise in renewable energy usage in the city's energy balance will not result in a reduction of carbon dioxide and harmful substance emissions. Expanding electricity generation through CCGT, alongside the growth of renewable energy use in the city, can lead to a significant decrease in carbon dioxide emissions.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to analyze the difference in Abnormal Return stock price of PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk by conducting short-term and long-term testing before and after the geopolitics between Iran and Israel and to find out whether there is an impact on the share price of PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk due to Geopolitics. So the research used is an event study with a quantitative approach. The data analysis technique used is a normality test using kolomogorov testing if the data is normally distributed and hypothesis testing with paired samples t-test testing with a short term of 10 days and a long term of 30 days. The results showed that the short-term and long-term normality tests showed no difference in abnormal returns, while the hypothesis test also showed no difference in abnormal returns. So this shows that there is no difference in the average abnormal return before and after geopolitics and does not affect the share price of PT Pertamina Tbk. Another factor is also the geographical location of Indonesia, Iran, and Israel far from the continent, so the Indonesian stock market is not affected by these events.

Bankflation, the inflation of “banking greed”: An empirical analysis and policy recommendation perspective
Authors: Bertsatos Georgios , Agiomirgianakis George , Liargovas Panagiotis
Published: November 2024

To fight inflation, European Central Bank (ECB) announced 10 successive interest rate hikes, starting on 27 July 2022, igniting an unprecedented widening of interest rate spreads in the euro area (ΕΑ). Greek banks, however, recorded among the highest interest rate spreads, far exceeding ΕΑ median and weighted average. Indeed, we document a strong asymmetric response of Greek banks to ECB interest rate hikes, with loan interest rates rising immediately, whilst deposit interest rates remained initially unchanged and then rose sluggishly. As a result, the interest rate spread hit one historical record after another. Greek systemic banks, probably taking advantage of the high concentration and low competition in the domestic sector benefited from key ECB interest rate hikes, recording gigantic increases in net interest income (NII), and consequently, substantial profits (almost €7.4 billion in the 2022–2023 biennium). Such excessive accumulation of profits (that deteriorates the living conditions of consumers) by the banking system could be called the inflation of “banking greed”, or bankflation. This new source of inflation created by the oligopolistic structure of the Greek banking sector counterworks the very reason for ECB interest rate increases and requires certain policy analysis recommendations in coping with it.

Published: November 2024

The food insecurity and inadequate management of family farm production is a problem that per-sists today in all corners of the world. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the socioeconomic and agricultural production management factors associated with food insecurity in rural households in the Machángara river basin in the province Azuay, Ecuador. The information was collected through a survey applied to households that were part of a stratified random sample. Based on this information, the Latin American and Caribbean Household Food Security Measurement Scale (ELCSA) was constructed to estimate food insecurity as a function of socioeconomic factors and agricultural production management, through the application of a Binomial Logit model and an Ordinal Logit model, in the STATA® 16 program. The results show that head house a married head of household, living in an informal house, having a latrine, producing medicinal or ornamental plants, and the relationship between expenses and income are significant variables that increase the probability of being food insecure. In this way, this research provides timely information to help public policy makers employ effective strategies to benefit rural household that are food vulnerable.

Self-sufficient power plant prototype composed by cascaded disruptive power units doing work by isothermal contraction and expansion
Authors: Ferreiro Garcia Ramon
Published: November 2024

This research work aims at the design and development of a disruptive prototype for a Self-sufficient power plant (SSPP) prototype composed by cascaded disruptive power units (PUs) doing work by isothermal contraction-expansion processes. The innovative design integrates thermo-hydraulic actuators enabled to drive hydraulic pumps connected to a hydraulic motor-generator. The prototype's cascaded PUs operates on a double closed processes-based isochoric-isothermal-isochoric-isothermal (VTVT) thermal cycle, enabled to do useful work by contraction and expansion of a thermal working fluid (TWF), which is notable for its high specific work output and high thermal efficiency. This is due to a disruptive cascaded heat recovering technique associated to a heat upgrading strategy.
Among the most relevant Key Features are its self-sufficient operation modes that challenge traditional limitations of second-kind perpetual motion machines (PMMs)
The expected capabilities on the basis of the consistency of empirical analysis are summarized as:
- Design based on the optimal number of cascaded power units,
- Efficient generation of useful mechanical work through expansion and contraction of the TWF,
- High specific useful work (kJ/kg of TWF), such as helium,
- Low ratio of actuator volume and weight to specific work.
Preliminary tentative validation:
The prototype design model was validated through case studies using air and helium as real TWFs. Empirical results demonstrate the SSPP's exceptional performance under certain conditional restrictions. 
- The optimal SSPP completed with nine cascaded PUs each operating on a double-VTVT cycle per PU.
- Helium: RIT value of 0.9 and 9 PUs coupled in cascade to give an SSI of 156.72and a SSEP yield of 922.23 kJ/kg.cy.
- Air: RIT value of 0.9 and 9 PUs coupled in a shell to give an SSI of 27.41 and a SSEP production of 37.67 kJ/kg.cy. 
These findings highlight the prototype's potential to significantly advance energy production efficiency and self-sufficiency in power generation systems.

Unraveling Incongruence: The EU Proposal in the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue
Authors: Semenov A. , Baščarević I.
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the complexities surrounding the acceptance of the European Union (EU) Proposal in the ongoing Belgrade-Pristina dialogue. The incongruence between Belgrade and Brussels is shaped by several interrelated factors. Central to this discord is the premature transfer of authority from the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) to the EU. This transition was prompted by UNMIK's failure to safeguard Kosovo's non-Albanian population and the breakdown of status negotiations, culminating in Kosovo’s unilateral declaration of independence. Although the EU has facilitated technical agreements that have supported the region's trajectory toward European integration, it has also encountered significant challenges. Notably, the withdrawal of Kosovo Serbs from political, judicial, and law enforcement institutions, compounded by the destabilizing effects of the Ukraine conflict, has intensified the crisis. These dynamics have accelerated a reliance on informal agreements, which circumvent domestic legislative processes and are characterized by a lack of transparency. The EU Proposal seeks to expedite the normalization process but contains a contentious provision that implicitly demands Serbia's acceptance of Kosovo's independence—an issue perceived in Serbia as a transgression of its core national interests. While the proposal lacks formal legal bindingness, the EU wields considerable influence, applying pressure on Serbia through mechanisms such as economic sanctions. However, such measures risk exacerbating anti-EU sentiment within Serbia. The paper argues that the EU’s strategy, which emphasizes informal agreements and seeks to avoid overt confrontation, may yield eventual progress but also risks entrenching political tensions within Serbia and Kosovo. The long-term implications of this approach remain uncertain, posing potential challenges for the stability of the EU and the broader Western Balkans region.
France in the EU Economic System: The Peerless Second
Authors: Butorina O. V.
Published: November 2024

France and Germany have historically played pivotal roles in formulating and advancing the economic policy of the European Union. The conceptual frameworks of German ordoliberalism and French dirigisme underpin the dual foundations of European economic integration. The United Kingdom’s departure from the EU has reconfigured the composition of the Union’s core, amplifying Germany’s significance. This shift simultaneously elevates the Franco-German partnership while rendering France’s position within the Union increasingly contingent upon its tangible economic strength. This article seeks to examine the evolving role of France within the EU’s economic architecture, identify critical long-term trends, and forecast possible realignments in the balance of power within EU economic governance. The analysis includes an overview of France’s intellectual and executive contributions to European economic and monetary policies, followed by a comparative assessment of international statistical data, emphasizing GDP dynamics, demographic trends, per capita income, trade balance, and R&D investment.The findings reveal that, despite being the EU’s second-largest economy, France has exerted a disproportionate influence on the Union’s economic governance, surpassing that of any other member state. French representation in the upper echelons of EU economic and financial policymaking has been unmatched. In the contemporary geopolitical landscape, French dirigisme is experiencing a resurgence of relevance.Nevertheless, France’s share of the EU’s overall GDP has been progressively declining, even as its demographic contribution to the Union has grown. With respect to per capita income, France ranks 10th among EU member states, marking the lowest position among the core economies. The aftermath of the global financial crisis and the eurozone debt crisis has led to a significant erosion of France’s international competitiveness. Should these trends persist, projections indicate that France’s GDP per capita will fall below the EU average by the end of the decade, potentially signaling a shift from core to semi-peripheral status. This development would exacerbate the asymmetry within the Franco-German axis, complicating efforts to recalibrate EU economic governance and policy direction.

Images as Invitations: Fostering Reader Engagement and Collaboration in Lidia Yuknavitch’s The Small Backs of Children
Authors: Panić Aleksandra
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This paper analyzes how Lidia Yuknavitch, an American writer and creative writing teacher, employs vivid and evocative imagery to foster a participatory reading experience in her autofictional novel The Small Backs of Children (2015). Grounded in Ellen Joann Esrock’s thesis from “Visual Imaging and Reader’s Response”, this analysis explores how Yuknavitch strategically invites readers to collaborate in the storytelling process. By doing so, Yuknavitch creates a dynamic interaction where meaning is co-created by the author and her audience.
            Yuknavitch’s narrative style blends the visceral with the conceptual using imagery that transcends mere description to evoke powerful emotional and intellectual responses. The imagery in The Small Backs of Children serves as a bridge between the text and the reader, transforming the act of reading into interactive practice. By blurring the lines between authorship and readership, Yuknavitch redefines traditional storytelling, positioning the reader as an active participant in the narrative. This paper demonstrates the diverse ways in which Yuknavitch’s prose engages readers, transforming the act of reading into a collaborative process of creation of meaning and emotion.
Political Power and Its Representation
Authors: Radovanović Milan
Published: November 2024

Understanding the concept of representation as a key factor involved in the process of meaning production in a society, can help us answer the following questions: what does the concept of representation mean in the context of constituting and producing political power, what does the process of representation entail, and how does it function? Our focus will be on the idea that political power is produced through regimes of verbal and visual representation that actively shape our perception of reality, including existing social norms and values. Representation is not only the result of certain social tendencies and changes, but also their instigator. The status of a ruler is determined not only based on their historical or social relevance, but also on how they are represented. In shaping the perception of a ruler as a legitimate holder of power, representation often plays a more dominant role than the subject itself. We will treat the concepts of power and representation as interdependent and interconnected variables. We will pay attention to how their reciprocal subordination produces two effects: the institution of power appropriates representation as something inherently its own, and representation is actually what transfers its power onto it.
Experimental Art and the Body: Parangolé and the Collective Body
Authors: Mari Marcelo
Published: November 2024

The article deals with the changes in Brazilian art from the 1950s to the 1970s, from concrete art to experimentalism, taking into particular account the importance of the artistic production of Lygia Clark and Hélio Oiticica. It can be said that both artists contributed to a radical questioning of the concept of the work of art and its traditional supports, and also provided a new relationship between the work of art and the viewer in contemporary art. In fact, Brazilian experimentalism anticipated at least a decade ahead of similar questioning of contemporary art posed by European artists and institutions.
Modeling of Shrimp Chitosan Polymer Adsorption Using Artificial Neural Network
Authors: Fathaddin Muhammad Taufiq , Mardiana Dwi Atty , Sutiadi Andrian , Maulida Fajri , Ulfah Baiq Maulinda
Published: November 2024

One phenomenon that can occur when a polymer solution is injected into an oil reservoir is adsorption. Adsorption occurs due to interactions between polymer molecules and the reservoir pore surface. Adsorption causes some polymer molecules to be removed from solution. So, this process results in a reduction in the polymer concentration in the solution. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is used to estimate the adsorption of shrimp chitosan polymer on the surface of 40 mesh and 60 mesh sand grains. The ANN model can estimate adsorption more accurately than previous models. This is because previous models only predicted certain adsorption patterns, while the ANN model is able to predict adsorption with complex relationships. The comparison of the mean absolute relative errors (MAREs) of the ANN, Langmuir, Freundlich, Henry, and Harkins-Jura models is 5.7%, 15.9%, 14.6%, 15.2%, and 14.5%, respectively.

Three-dimensional scaffolds play a crucial role in supporting cell growth and tissue regeneration, especially in bone regenerative applications. Their utilization in dentistry demands effective cytotoxicity assessment, particularly for sponge-shaped scaffolds with a unique porous structure fostering a complex environment for cell growth. Therefore, the imperative lies in selecting cytotoxicity testing methods suitable for these characteristics. Relevant methods for such scaffolds include MTS, Alamar Blue, ATP, CCK-8, and MTT assays. MTS assay efficiently measures cell viability in a three-dimensional setting, while Alamar Blue and CCK-8 assays, with their water-soluble nature and high reproducibility, prove advantageous. ATP assay provides direct insights into cellular metabolic activity, and MTT assay assesses cell viability based on enzymatic capabilities. Due to their water-soluble characteristics, minimizing additional extraction steps, and ensuring high reproducibility, Alamar Blue and CCK-8 emerge as the most fitting options for cytotoxicity assessment in dentistry's sponge-shaped scaffolds.

Hubungan penyakit periodontal dengan covid-19
Authors: Suwandi Trijani , Carissa Nurhasinah Wiriawan Deandra
Published: November 2024

Periodontitis is a chronic, multifactorial, inflammatory disease, associated with plaque biofilms and characterized by the progressive destruction of the tooth-supporting structures. Periodontal diseases can increase the inflammatory response in patients, which might exacerbate the systemic symptoms and clinical course of coronavirus (COVID-19). The potential association of periodontitis and COVID-19 severity can be explained by the alteration in the expression of cellular receptors enhancing the virulence of SARS-CoV-2 and by periodontal pockets acting as viral reservoirs. These associations between periodontitis and COVID could be due to the fact that both diseases share common immune pathways such as the NF-κB pathway, NLRP3/IL-1β pathway, and IL-6 signaling pathway as well as common risk factors such as gender, lifestyle, and comorbidities. This suggests that the two diseases may be linked through the same genetic pathway.

Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterized by breathing difficulties during sleep. Dentists play a crucial role in raising awareness about OSA and assisting patients in obtaining a diagnosis by providing accurate information. This necessitates using precise measurement tools to identify and assess sleep disorders in patients during dental visits. Objective: To determine the validity and reliability of a questionnaire regarding dentists' understanding of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in Jakarta. Method: This study employed an analytical observational approach using a cross-sectional design. The sample included 220 dentists working in Jakarta's health centers, clinics, and hospitals. Data analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test for normality test. Results: The correlation test results indicated that the questionnaire met the criteria for validity. The average Cronbach's Alpha value was 0.712, exceeding the minimum value of 0.60, indicating that the questionnaire used in this study is reliable and can accurately measure dentists' understanding of OSA. Conclusion: Research involving dentists aged 25-50 suggests that the questionnaire assessing the level of knowledge of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) demonstrates good accuracy and can be relied upon as a tool to evaluate dentists' comprehension of OSA.

The β-TCP material is a material of ceramic that often used in the medical and dental fields as a bone substitute material because it has biocompatible, bioresorbable and osteoconductive properties. Apart from that, this material is also biocompatible with tooth tissue, is non-inflammatory, and can regenerate dentin. Several studies have shown that the properties of β-TCP material can be a candidate for pulp capping material. These studies have also been carried out on experimental animals and showed good results. This article reviews the potential of β-TCP as a candidate pulp capping material in dentistry.

Published: November 2024

Background: Zirconia is a biomaterial in dentistry. There are two types of zirconia restorations, zirconia veneered with feldspathic porcelain (ZVP) and monolithic zirconia (MZ). Monolithic zirconia restorations are increasingly being used due to their strength and fracture resistance as well as their good aesthetic capabilities. 3Y-TZP is indicated for framework material in porcelain-coated crowns and fixed dental prostheses in posterior and anterior regions. The occlusal adjustment stage of the restoration could possibly produce high surface roughness. Goals: To determine the effect of EVE Diacera polishing system on the surface roughness of 3Y-TZP generation zirconia after occlusal adjustment stage. Methodology: The type of research conducted was a laboratory experiment which took place at the Dental Material and Testing Center of Research and Education (DMT Core) Laboratory, Faculty of Dentistry, Trisakti University, Jakarta. This study used samples produced by FOCUS Dental Lab Jakarta. The samples are in the form of 3Y-TZP monolithic zirconia blocks that have passed the sintering, polishing, and glazing stages. This study used a total of 18 research samples divided into two groups. Data will be obtained from the average surface roughness results from the surface roughness tester which will be analyzed for normality test and homogeneity test (p>0.05) with the use of SPSS application. Results: The study showed that there is an effect of EVE Diacera polishing system on the surface roughness of 3Y-TZP generation zirconia restorations after the occlusal adjustment stage. Conclusion: EVE Diacera polishing system has an effect on the surface roughness of 3Y-TZP generation zirconia.
