Authors: Arslan Burak , Aydin Tugce , Memis Samet , Enginoglu Serdar
Published: February 2025

The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy parameterized intuitionistic fuzzy soft matrices (ifpifs-matrices) is a mathematical tool coming to the forefront with its ability to model problems containing intuitionistic fuzzy uncertainties or multiple fuzzy uncertainties. The present study continues the paper entitled Generalisations of SDM Methods in fpfs-Matrices Space to Render Them Operable in ifpifs-Matrices Space and Their Application to Performance Ranking of the Noise-Removal Filters. It generalizes 36 soft decision-making (SDM) methods employing multiple fuzzy parameterized fuzzy soft matrices (fpfs-matrices) to operable in the ifpifs-matrices space. Afterward, this study proposes three ifpifs-matrices for each test case in the above-mentioned paper and determines SDM methods producing successful results in these test cases by using the proposed ifpifs-matrices. Moreover, it applies the determined SDM methods to a performance-based value assignment (PVA) to seven well-known salt-and-pepper noise removal filters used in digital images. Finally, this study discusses SDM methods’ applications and the need for further research.

Published: February 2025

This study’s goals were to determine the impact of teaching kids certain fundamental football skills through play and how it interacted with cooperative and reciprocal exercise approaches. Additionally, to determine which of the two approaches is more effective in teaching pupils fundamental football skills. The research community and sample were represented by the first-stage students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Babylon for the academic year 2022-2023, numbering (128 students), because these skills selected for education are within the vocabulary of the educational curriculum prescribed for this stage. We chose a sample of (22 students), as (11) students were selected for each group, and those who failed, practiced football, and were not regular in attendance were excluded, as well as what the nature of the research requires in order to simulate the independent variable (playing style). The two experimental groups were determined by (11) students in each group. The first experimental group used the play method with the interaction of the cooperative exercise method, while the second experimental group used the play method with the interaction of the reciprocal exercise method. We used the experimental method for equivalent groups. After processing the data statistically by using the (t) test for the corresponding groups in the skill tests, and the (t) test for independent samples between the two groups. We concluded that the group of the play style combined with cooperative training was more developed than the second experimental group in the skills of passing, put down and rolling. We recommend the necessity of adopting the play style and cooperative training in learning the skills of passing, put down and rolling.

Polynomial Models used in Optimization by Design of Numerical Experiments
Authors:   University of Craiova, Alin-Iulian Dolan
Published: February 2025

The paper presents two optimization methods based on the concept of design of experiments: the method by zooms and the method by slidings of designs. Two application variants are presented for each of them. One of the variants only requires access to the values of the objective function at different points in the feasible domain, grouped in designs of experiments, arranged successively, towards the most convenient values. The other variant uses the same technique, but the advance of the designs towards the optimal value is based on the information provided by second-order polynomial models that approximate the objective function on each design, which facilitates the convergence speed of the algorithm. The methods under discussion lend themselves very well to numerical simulations using the finite element method that can provide the values of the objective function at any point in the feasible domain that corresponds to a unique configuration of the simulated device. The paper presents a comparative study of the application of these methods in the two variants, on a 2-D numerical model of an electromagnetic device. Both in the case of the method by zooms and in the case of the method by slidings of designs, the results highlight the simplicity of the first application variant but also the high speed of convergence of the second one, especially for the method by zooms.

This study aims to review the current status of laws and systems on wheelchair ride-on conurbation low-floor buses for convenience-enhancing of mobility handicapped in Korea, and measures to improve them to smoothly implement conurbation low-floor buses that will be mandatory from January 2027 and provide an institutional foundation. To this end, this qualitative study is conducted with the scope set to review the laws and systems related to wheelchair ride-on conurbation low-floor buses which have raised controversies. At the macro level, the study divided the laws and systems for improving the convenience of transportation for the mobility handicapped into the ‘human dimension’ and ‘material dimension’ to understand the current status, and at the micro level, reviewed the controversies raised on wheelchair ride-on low-floor buses at the laws and systems level. As a result, four amendments to laws and systems that need to be improved from the perspective of the mobility handicapped were derived, such as establishing a basis for relief for the rights of mobility handicapped people other than the disabled, mandatory provisions on maintenance and inspections for wheelchair ride-on low-floor buses, securing procedural fairness and transparency in the approval of exceptions to low-floor buses, and maintaining consistency and clarity of legal principles for the mobility handicapped. Finally, five policy suggestions were presented, including legal revisions for the amendments to laws and systems derived. This study is significant as a study on laws and systems closely related to life for the smooth introduction of wheelchair ride-on eco-friendly conurbation low-floor buses. In addition, it is different from existing studies by expanding the scope of laws and systems on the material dimension, including technical factors.
A study on the improvement of elder abuse definitions and laws through international comparison
Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Seo Jong Nyeo , Kim Jin
Published: February 2025

As elder abuse was recognized as a serious social problem, laws for the protection of human rights and prevention of abuse for the elderly were established following the revision of the Elderly Welfare Act in 2004, and there was a quantitative expansion of elder abuse prevention and protection programs. This study aims to compare and analyze the concept and age standard of elder abuse, the international standards for elder abuse behaviors and types, the Elderly Welfare Act in Korea, and local government ordinances. Additionally, it seeks to propose measures to redefine the concept of elder abuse in a way that suits the situation in Korea and to improve relevant laws and regulations. The main findings of the study are that the Elderly Welfare Act is inconsistent in defining elder abusers and age standards, which may lead to legal confusion. The definition of elder abusers is unclear, and the subject is divided into 'anyone' and 'guardians,' lacking consistency. A clear definition of emotional abuse, economic exploitation, and neglect in the context of elder abuse is needed. Additionally, the analysis of ordinances related to elder abuse reveals that local governments have different age standards and definitions, which may result in regional differences in human rights protections. Additionally, Senior Protection Agencies that investigate elder abuse have limited investigative authority and need to improve the system to legally strengthen identity protection. As implications from the analysis of overseas cases, it is necessary to consider a comprehensive approach to elder abuse as a human rights violation, as seen in the UK case, and to adopt the concept of 'vulnerable adults' instead of using an age-based standard for the elderly. Additionally, it is important to explore ways to include social discrimination in the concept of elder abuse. Finally, in the cases of the United States and Japan, support for both the elderly and abusers should be strengthened in super-aged societies by implementing aggravated penalties for elder abuse cases, enacting special laws for the prevention of elder abuse.

Authors: Valverde Carrasco Marco Antonio
Published: February 2025

Los estudios sobre la reivindicación marítima, en muchas ocasiones, pasan por alto a los actores involucrados. Prudencio Lizón atiende este vacío con una amplia recopilación de fuentes primarias de archivos bolivianos, chilenos y peruanos. Por ejemplo, la obra realiza un análisis del papel desempeñado por la diplomacia boliviana a través de la figura de Don Daniel Sánchez Bustamante desde 1910. La actuación de Bustamante fue clave en las gestiones ante los gobiernos de Chile y Perú, con el objetivo de incorporar Tacna y Arica al territorio soberano de Bolivia mediante una compensación adecuada.

En la reciente inauguración de los Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024, la agrupación francesa de metal con temática ecológica, Gojira, realizó una presentación sobresaliente. Esta banda que toca constantemente el tema de la defensa del planeta tiene un álbum muy popular y alabado críticamente con el nombre de L’enfant sauvage (2012). ¿Cómo se puede relacionar de forma tan inmediata la preocupación por la naturaleza con la proyección idealizada de niños o infancias que pasan su vida en un estado ajeno a la civilización industrial en un medio natural, puro, selvático, animal? Aunque parezca increíble, el libro que reseñamos a continuación posee algunas pistas sobre este interrogante.
Chorea accompanied with chronic subdural hematoma: A case report and literature review
Authors: Tempaku Akira
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) presents hemipalsy, gait disturbance, dysarthria, cognitive disorder, or conscious level down. These hypokinetic movement dysfunctions are brought from the downregulation of the cerebral neural activities, which are caused by the hematoma compression. In contrast, a rare case of CSDH patients shows hyperkinetic movement disorders.

Case Report: An 82-year-old woman presented with chorea in the head and extremities, which was dominant in the right hand. The involuntary movement progressed for last three days. Her conscious level was clear and the function of the lower cranial nerves was normal. She had no hemipalsy nor sensory disorders. Brain magnetic resonance image revealed a chronic subdural hematoma in left hemisphere. After the removal of hematoma through surgical irrigation and evacuation, the chorea disappeared immediately.

Conclusion: Subdural hematoma compressed cerebral cortex, which disturbed the neural network function. Especially, modulation of the cortico-basal ganglia loop function by subdural hematoma causes to the involuntary movement disorders as chorea. This report describes a rare case of chorea associated with CSDH. Previous case literatures are reviewed and summarized.
STK11 mutation and fallopian tube histology indicating hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 40-year-old female
Authors: Gamez Roberto , Partida Alejandro , Abadie Jude
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Metaplastic fallopian tube changes are usually related to inflammation, infection, and/or deleterious STK11 mutations. While these fallopian tube changes have low incidence, they are clinically important to accurately identify premalignant, somatic pathogenesis in patients with Peutz–Jeghers syndrome (PJS).

Case Report: Here we describe a case of a 40-year-old female, with a chronic history of menometrorrhagia, who underwent prophylactic total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH-BSO) due to risk of non-epithelial ovarian cancer associated with a de novo, germline heterozygous STK11 exon 6 deletion. The patient’s father had colorectal carcinoma, her mother had endometrial cancer, and her older sister had breast cancer. The patient’s colonoscopy, screening mammograms, endometrial biopsy, and PAP smears were all negative. Sample morphology was negative for high-grade dysplasia and malignancy; however, prophylactic TAH-BSO was performed due to the patient’s positive carrier status, increased risk for gynecological cancers, and mucinous tumors.

Conclusion: Currently, there are no studies demonstrating how exclusion of secondary findings in PJS supports prophylactic, life-saving management in a subset of patients with strong genetic predisposition and a family history of breast cancer. Hysterectomy is generally considered a last resort after other treatments have failed in cases of heavy menstrual bleeding. As evident in this case of combined PJS and menorrhagia, a prophylactic surgical procedure was clinically indicated.
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF HIGH-FREQUENCY TRADING ON MARKET VOLATILITY AND LIQUIDITY?
Authors: Jhaveri Vihaan
Published: February 2025

The analysis focuses on the high-frequency trading (HFT), in which the stock trades are quickly carried out through the algorithms and computers, and it examines how HFT influences the volatility of stock prices and how easily stocks can be traded. It’s like trying to figure out whether these super-speedy traders are making the market better by making trade easier — or if they’re making things worse by simply making prices swing around in crazy ways.

We explored what existing studies have found, checked industry reports and scrutinized findings of other investigations. These results suggest that HFT faces a complicated problem. On one hand, however, it can make things easier for average investors by making stock buying and selling less expensive.

To this effect, our research has found that high frequency trading (HFT) is rewarding and risky as well. This is a positive base on the fact that it increases market liquidity through lowering the trading costs and enhancing market activity. However, in market turbulence, for instance, flash crashes, rapid trading can lead to bigger price fluctuations.

This study suggests that although HFT has significantly increased market efficiency in the modern era, it is impossible to overlook the risks it may provide in times of instability. Regulators must adopt policies that balance preserving HFT's advantages with reducing its detrimental consequences on market stability. Future studies are advised to fill up the gaps and investigate ways to overcome these difficulties.

Integration of Quranic Values in Learning Strategies: Review of Interpretation and Implementation
Authors: Saputra Reza Aprian , Subki Subki
Published: February 2025

The integration of Qur'anic values in learning strategies is important for successful learning, but there is often a misunderstanding of the values contained in the Qur'an. With regard to that, this study aims to analyze the integration of Qur'anic values in learning strategies, focusing on verses related to learning, namely surah al-Alaq verses 1-5, Taha verse 114, al-Mujadilah verse 11, an-Nahl verse 125, an-Nur 30-31. Implementation of values at MTs. Mizabul Ulum West Lombok is the focus of research. Qualitative methods with thematic interpretation and descriptive analysis were used, as well as observation, interviews, and documentation studies as data collection techniques. The research findings show that Qur'anic values, such as the importance of reading, educational aids, patience, tolerance, and justice, underlie learning strategies. The implementation of lectures, discussions and habituation effectively support students' character building and understanding. Implementation challenges include lack of understanding and practical guidelines. This research has implications for the integration of Qur'anic values in learning strategies that improve learning quality and shape student character according to Islamic teachings. Results support Jean Piaget's theory of constructivism which emphasizes learning not only memorizing, but also internalizing values.

Abstract: The development of efficient, scalable, and low-cost photovoltaic technologies is critical for advancing global energy sustainability. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional single-junction silicon-based solar cells due to their high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and solution-processable active materials. However, conventional fabrication methods typically require inert environments and complex anti-solvent processes, which increase production costs and limit scalability. Sequential deposition offers a promising solution by decoupling the solidification and crystallization steps, thereby eliminating the need for anti-solvent processes. Despite these advantages, fabricating high-quality mixed-cation perovskite layers in air remains a significant challenge, primarily due to the sensitivity of perovskite materials to moisture, which disrupts phase stability and perovskite phase formation. In this study, we addressed these challenges by developing an air-processable perovskite layer using a sequential deposition process. To overcome moisture-induced issues, pre-heating the substrate was employed to reduce surface tension and improve film coverage. Furthermore, imidazole iodide (ImI) was introduced into the PbI2 precursor to effectively cap Pb sites, preventing moisture interference and promoting a complete transition to the α-phase of formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3​) without residual PbI2 in air​. These strategies enabled the production of PSCs in air achieving a champion PCE of 18.73%. Stability testing further demonstrated that PSCs incorporating ImI exhibited a T80​ device lifetime exceeding 500 hours. The finding demonstrates its role in moisture prevention and durability enhancement for the air-processable perovskite solar cells.

Abstract: Contribution to sustainable energy can be effectively routed to decarbonise power generation and transport sectors, by augmenting the need for electrochemical energy storage devices such as batteries which can endow greater energy density, longevity and safety to the portable electronic devices. Particularly, anode-less alkali metal batteries (ALAMBs) are promising owing to their cost-effectiveness, ease of manufacturing, and utilizing a host anode renders the systems with recoupable gravimetric and volumetric energy densities. However, interfacial contact resistance, limited ion pathways, and the formation of dead alkali metals contribute to reduced cation utilization during repeated cycling, diminishing the long-term performance and practical viability of the system. In response, various strategies to optimize the deposition substrate, such as the anodic current collector, interface and electrolyte have been suggested to prolong cell lifespan. However, most of these approaches are still largely empirical and lack comprehensive diagnostic tools to unravel the complex relationship between the structural changes in the cathode and the nature of alkali metal deposition.  This review provides a comprehensive summary of the contemporary improvements carried out in the design and engineering of ALAMBs highlighting the moderation approaches involving both liquid and solid electrolytes to enhance the cycle life, and safety greatly. Finally, the compensatory effects with prospects into the cycling protocols to realize the true energy density of the system are also systematically outlined.

Published: February 2025

The growth of tourism villages has become a key strategy for addressing challenges faced by the tourism industry during the pandemic. It's playing a big role in boosting Indonesia’s creative economy. This research focuses on identifying what drives tourists to visit these villages and which factors are most important in their decision-making. By reviewing various studies, key factors emerged: tourism product attribute (attraction, amenities, accessibility), tourist services, location, how easy it is to get there, and the impact of electronic word-of-mouth (e-WoM). Results showed that the main factors influencing tourists' choices were the attractions themselves and e-WoM. These insights can help village managers fine-tune their marketing efforts. Additionally, understanding that tourists often look for an escape from their daily routines or seek relaxation can help in designing more attractive travel packages. This research adds to existing academic discussions by offering a detailed look at what influences tourist choices in rural tourism, especially in Indonesia. Future studies should look at broader databases and include international perspectives to enrich the knowledge around global practices for tourism villages.

The revitalization of Rowo Gempol Village's tourism potential through the development of directional infrastructure aims to improve accessibility and enhance the village's appeal as a tourist destination. The village's natural and cultural tourism potential has not been fully utilized due to the lack of supporting infrastructure, particularly clear and informative directional signs. Through this initiative, the PkM team, in collaboration with the local community, conducted site identification, designed and installed directional signs, and educated residents on the importance of maintaining and utilizing this infrastructure. Active community participation was key to the program's success, which is expected to broaden visitor access and positively impact the local economy. The results of this program indicate that the construction of directional infrastructure not only facilitates tourists in exploring the village but also strengthens Rowo Gempol Village's image as a well-organized tourist destination. Another positive impact is the increased awareness and sense of responsibility among the community in managing the village's tourism potential, along with new economic opportunities arising from the growth in tourist visits. This initiative successfully achieved its objectives and serves as a model that can be implemented in other villages with tourism potential hindered by inadequate supporting infrastructure.
